A "BIIBCHIEVOUS THEORY."
Tho object of government is to
protect the weak from the encroach
ments of tho strong, and to protect
men tn tho enjoyment of their nat
ural right. This is the object of all
governments, and only this. A lit
tle more than a century ago a gov
ernment was formed upon tho prin
cipio that all men are entitled to
an equal degree of liberty. Ono
hundred years ago this government
was an untried experiment, hut
those who framed oar constitution
"budded better (ban they knew."
Time has failed to shake our insti
tutions, and every departure from
the democratic principles upon
which our government rests, lias
been a dopa rt un? from civil liberty.
If instead of aliasing those men
who hold ollie*? and ."tining strife
over petty annoyances and imagi
nary evils, wo could organize to
study democracy, and to return to
the tlrst principles of our republican
government, much more would bo
accomplished. Wo need to study
democracy-Jeffersonian den foe ra
cy. If wo take tho platform of the
national democratic party for the
last twenty-live years, and com4
pare it with the legislation Of demo
crats for tho past few year*, we And
In many Instances that precept and ?
practice are at variance.
When President Cleveland said:
"Though tho people supp?t t t he gov
ernment, the government should
not support tho people," ho enun
ciated a grand democratic doctrine
which is often lost sight of In solv
ing political problems. Carry out
this doctrine and what becomes of
the high protective tariff? Where
Is your "government of the people
for the people and by tho people * '
What becomes of ''trough democ
racy ?"
The following extract trom a re
publican newspaper, is, as the AVws
and Courier justly remarks, stolen
from the platform of the demo
cratic party:
"Other filings hoing equal, that is
"the best government which is the
"least felt and which meddles tho
"least with the private affairs andi
"business of tho people. Tin? prop
"or functions of government ure 1
"few and simple. All laws should
"relate to society as a whole, and
"not to any particular ( lass, and
"should aim to establish fundam^p
"tal principles rather than special
"rules. That is a mischievous thc
"ory of government which attempts
"lo regulate and reform everything.
"There is more to bo feared from
"too nundi legislation than there is
"from too little. Meddlesome leg
islation is a great and growing
"evil."
"That Is a mischievous theory of
government which attempts to reg
ulate and reform everything."
Tins "mischievous theory" bas ob
tained largely In Hus BtatO. The
result ls, we have laws on every
subject made to meed every contin
gency, diirerent in every County,
but passod hythe legislature every
time tho delegation from a County
cnn agree oh a bill.
The great trouble is, tho people
expect too nundi from tho govern
ment. They expect and attempt
to force it to do timi which it was
never designed to do. They ex
pect it to take the place Of Un
church and make men religa us.
Tiley expect it to chango a man'.;
appetite and make him sober; to
change the season- so as to make
farmers prosperous ; to rcduco the
necessity for labor; to regulate tho
cost of living and to repeal tho Di
vine law, which requires that a
man shall work In order to live.
Olli PAKMKKS COLUMN,
It is tho alto of Til K A DVKRTfMKft
to give to Its r< adels tho be d paper
for the least money. It is our de
sire to make it a welcomed visitor
to every fireside, not only In Lau
rens County, but throughout this
suction. We are constantly roccv
ing encouraglngmont from tho peo.
pie and this has stimulated us to
even greater exertions. We have
added a sepe ra le depart mont, devo
ted especially to tho farming inte
rests. With access to the leading
Agricultural Journals of the United
Hintes, WO will make indi extracts
and present in a condensed form
such maller as may be of Interest
and value to farmers. P.ut the
special feature of Dds deparfnu?nt
will bo original articles und farm
experience. A throughly con.po
tent agriculturalist will preside, and
with tho co-operation of tho farmers
it can bo made a valuable feature
<>f the paper. Wo solicit contribu
tion? from nil who desire to pro
mote tho interest of agriculture?
who believe that thero ts room for
Improvement. And while thu will
not In tho least dot met from tho
other departments wo believe it
will bo tho means of reaching many
who do not rend Agricultural pu
pers. Help, and it will succeed.
The legislature rofused to allow
tho County Commissioners to make
arrangements so that witnesses
:uul jurors could bo paid cash for
their Services. This may have
bot ll best, but lt SOC HIS to US Hitit
something is wron?.'; with a govern
ment that cannot be run on ti cits i
basis. When ti inuu iu summoned
to appear at Court Ito han no
I alternativo but to obey, end tho
spirit of our cou dilution and the
nature of our government demands
timi ho shall bo paid? The ?*nto
per diem hi an low as justice will
allow, und ls seldom sufficient for
current expenses, aside from tho
!<ws entailed by having to neglect
homo affairs, when often In the
midst of the busy season. Hut to
ho paid in paper (hat cannot bo
floated at par, i : it .serious loss.
Call it barbaron-; and cruel if yoi:
will, we believe that there ls greater
efficacy and utility In thc whipping
post as a punishment for certain
offences, than any prison over con
st ruelod.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
( J 'n Iii OUF ItCffttUt)'Co}'VCS)MHtU'Hl)m
Washington Fob. ISth, I8S7,
Congress has given ?ls attention
tn a vast amount of miscellaneous
matter during the present week
such as tho Texas Ku-Klux inves
tigation, money for rivers and har
bors, retaliation towards Cunnada
mul the trade dollar, nut tho most
interesting debute occurred In tho
Senate over t he bill providing for
the increase ol* Hie naval establish
ment.
Thc Senate voted for thc build
ing of ten nev. cruisers. Senator
Maxey, of Texas wes not only in
favor of building war vessels, bul
Imt of fortifying every sea post in
tho country. He knew that it was
goliig to cost money, but he said it
thero is force in tho maxim 'Tn time
peace prepare for wer" this was
tho timo to i ?ti t ii in practico, when
the Treasury was overflowing mid
when the money was being abso
lutely wasted.
Somib" Huller, of South ('andina
wanted the vessels to bo heavily
armored. M r Halo insisted that
the pending bill confined tho new
vessels strictly lo defensive not ag
gressive purposes, ll*' was for de
fensive purposes first and aftei
that, if armored ships were desir
ed ho would favor them. The l\yc
features oil which CongSOSS wa
llow proceeding wero tho fasl
cruisers (making lt dangerous foi
other nations tn engage In war wit 1
the United States, because theil
coiniiicri-o would bo the prey ol'(lu
cruisers) and tho coast defence;
to prevent foreign Meets from bom
harding the great cities of tho Uni
ted States.
Senator Ingnlls expressed th?
belief that tho floating batterie:
provided for in Ibo bill would bi
practically useless. Tho Sonnie
ililli been within the past few week,
appropriating millions on million,
not for tribute, but foi defense
Wealthy men who did not cari
linw tho money was to go had beei
doing this, lie hoped that Hie Koli
atc would pause In Its lu ndlonj
career haig enough t?> get sonn
tangible Information a- to hov
milch money lhere was in tie
Treasury, and how long tho "Foun
tain of Pactolus" would alford tb
golden stream necessary to mo'c
the mil lions which the Senate wo
SO recklessly voting away.
Senator Dolph, had read for th
Senate a newspaper clipping whlc!
described an imaginary attack <?
and destruction of tho city of sa
Francisco, by a hostile fleet. , Tho
he dwells upon tho present ?let ? ns?
less condition of tho United Slate
and said il was nader heavy bon
to keep to keep the peace with a
t!ni world and thai it would bo fi
ii hu mi I int i ng disadvantage In an
controversy.
When senator Vest took tho flo?
ho asked who was responsible ft
Hie present disgraceful lack of
[Milted States Navy and sea-coat
defenses. Ht? knew that he weill
he "thrashing obi straws," but 1
wanted to remind tho Senate nu
tho country that there was not i
tho history of thc civilized worl
apago of nial-ndminlstrarion <-.;u
to that of tho "Navy dcpaitmont
tho lT. H. since 1865. It was ni
tho fault of Congress that thc cou
(ry luci no ships and no cons! tl
fenses. ll bad appropriated shu
tho close of tho war, nearly iJifiO
(Miii.ooi) for naval purposes. If
British Minister should inal#o sm
an exhibit in parliament as tho
8. Navy depart meat from I860
1885, he would bo pursued out
his place willi execration . Tl
Son a tar boliovd that If this sessh
were to last much longer, "Congre
WOllld |>u( Aladdin's lamp into ll
hands of a reciever."
The House of Repr04cntatlv
has made up ifs mind to tight tl
President's veto of tho tug I'aup
POnslOll bill, and tllO Senate
course, will do tho same. Il ls 11
believed, however, that tho ve
can ho overridden.
The President's latest veto is th
<>f 1 h ? Texas Heed bill. Itappropi
atcd 910.000 for seed corn ami w lu
to he di di ?huted In tho drool
stricken region of that state, i

tho President said In the moasni
