Gen. Cordon, of Georgia, had a

have'lacked courage sufficient to give
the Georgia Alliance his views on

The mere fact that such sentiments
as are found in the above article are
puhlishtd. is conclusive pnsif that
they represent the feelings of at least
a pari of the i>coplc of Kansas, and
speaks very poorly for the honesty of
the jsHiple of that State. With the
advocacy of such unblushing rascali
ty it is not to be wondered at that
money is scarce with them, and if it
were scarcer it would lie just what
they deserve. The capitalist that
wonh^ let his money go among such

■ dorses the words of the Broiul Axe,
What would Ik- thought of a sailor j in reference to the recent Beimetts-
who in mid (K-ean, would dcliU-ratcly | villa, Darlington, Sumter and Char-
leave a staunch and well tried vessel
and trust himself to the mercy of a
jrail and leaky craft that would go
down with the first gale-' Yet this
is exactly what the Southern man
does when he leaves the grand old
Democratic party for one whose very
principles and platform are subver
sive of the fundamental ideas on
which onr government rests, and
whose leaders have never done any
thing to entitle them to the reepeot
and confidence of the jk-ojiIc.
The advocates of the free coinage
of silver would do well to War in
mind that the most earnest advocates
of the unlimited coinage of silver are
the silver kings of the West, the men
who own the mines, and produce tin-
silver. Of course it adds very much
to their wealth for the government
to take alsmt seventy-five or eighty
cents worth of silver, and stamp one
dollar on it for their Win-fit. This
of course helps to concentrate the
money of the country in the hands
of the few, and the silver producers
want the government to give them
the same help it so lavishly Wstows
on the protected manufacturers. The
jinpers and sja-akers who support this
measure do not see lit to give the
arguments of the-siPer kings. Of
course this would not help the hill.
It would Ik- well fur the nu-mliers
of the Alliance who wish to jierpetu
ate the organization, and make it a
potent factor for giKKl, to seriously
consider the propriety of admitting
t) membership a whole lot of office
seekers—men who care nothing what
ever for its welfare, hut who would
wreck the whole order w ithout tin-
least compunction, provided ‘hey
could serve their own selfish ends
thereby. If every adviM-ate of the
sub-treasury could Wx-ome eonvineeil
that the bill wa< niiuise and imprae-
ticaUe, these distinguished states
men and unselfish patriots could
wheel into line with the ease and pre
cision of the drilled soldier. Being
•gifted with the voracity of a shark
and the digestion < f an oslrirll they
can swallow any kind of a platform,
and then ask for more.
\\ e dislike very much to criticize
•any of our State pup-rs, es|K-ciiilly
-one that has done so much for tin
jpublicgood as our big daily, tin-
Nows and Courier, lint we take the
liberty of suggesting that some of its
headings are Isith sensational and
undignified. For illustration, in
speaking of the I’n-sidents visit to
Vermont, the article is headed, -A
l>anip Abroad,” ami s|K-aks of him
as a vagabond. Of course this is
only iiu-nnt to Ik- humorous, but at
the same time it is w rung to sjK-ak
in this way of the man who occupies
the highest |K.sition in the gift of
the people. Mr. Harrison is not tIn
man to attract the admiration of
anybody, but should, in virtue of
his office, Ik- treated with respect,
especially as nothing can Ik- said
against him as a private citizen.
“Steps should Ik- taken to aMish

matter of economy as of justice. The

them.—Sumter Freeman.
The editor of The Hkkai.I) lie-
lieves in temjK-nnice. lint also in
tolerance, and it can't Ik- ex[K-cted
that evervlKKly will think alike on
this or any other question. Some of
the first gentlemen of Darlington
were on these excursions, and no one
could make ns lielicve that they
would in any manner forget them
selves. If we had had any reason to
believe that there was any drunken
ness, we would certainly have called
attention to it. Personal I v we be
lieve total abstinence the safest rule
hut despite this belief we think it
]K-rfectlv possible for a man to
drink champagne, w hich was used on
the iK-caslons referred to, and yet be
everything that a gcuticnmii should.
It may also Ik- well to state for the
benefit of those who do not know
any Is-tter that these excursions were
gotten up by thetowns interested, and
the railroad officials had nolhing to
do with them except to furnish
transportalinu, which they do for
cvcrylKKly, provided they pay for it
The expenses were iKiruc ItV the

Be it pleasant or unpleasant, it is
none the less an absolute truth—tin
raison d'etre of a woman is mater
nity. For this and this alone nature
has differentiated her from man, and
built her up cell by cell and organ
hy organ. The continuance of the
race in healthy re-production, together
•vitli the lit nourishment and the
eare of the young, afte-r birth, is the
ultimate end of woman as such, and
whatever tells against these function*
and reduces either her power or her
perfectness is an offenv against tin
• tiro a- da wrong done toMK-iety.
If she chiKises to decline her ua-
t tral office aliogetlier,and to dedicate
• i other services a life which has n<
sympathy with the sex of humanity,
that conics into her lawful list of
preferences and discords. But neither
then nor while she is one with the
rest, a wife and moth«r like others,
is she free to blaspheme her assigned
functions: nor to teach the young lo
blaspheme them; nor yet to set afoot
such undertakings as shall militate
against the healthy performance of
her first great natural duty and her
first great social obligation.
The cradle lies across the door of
the (Killing iNNithand liars the way to
the senate. We can conceive nothing
more disastrous to a woman in any
stage of maternity, expectant or ac
complished, than the heuted passions
and turmoil of a (ihlitical contest; for
we may put of court three fallacies—
that the vote, if obtained at all, is to
Ih- confined to widows and spinsters
only; that enfranchised women w ill
content themselves with the vote and
not seek after active office, and that
they will bring into the world of
|iolit ics t lie sweetness ami light claim-
oil for them by their adherents, and
not, on the contrary, mid their own
shriller excitement to the men's
deeper passions.

the United States, which in express
terms provided for their protection
and safety, hut also the princinlcs
and structure of all governments
which had in any d gree provided
“cheeks and balam-i-s" for restrain
ing the tendency 0 t the majority to
disregard the rights of the minority.
Thus cquipiH-d and stimulated, they
were easily triumphant ill the arena
of constitutional and (Kilitk-ul discus

ha I no great material interest at
stake, hut who, iK-eording to Dr.
Drii|K-r, their eulogist, had given their
Ik-sI energies not to the •tm| i V of law
and polities: hut of theology. But
in a contest with antagonists whose
“tone of thought and bias of mind"
was theological rather than political,
it was inevitable that the (mnstitu-
tiona' and legal argument should la-
met with a moral orquasi rheological
one. Acconlioglv. we stain find the
real leaders of Northern sentiment
asserting that there was a t'hjglu-r
law” than the Constitution of' the
United States, and denouncing that
instrument as jf “league with death
and a covenant with hell.” This Ih-
ing a practical repudiation of all
coiislitutional restraint, the logical,
and indeed Ihf inevitable next and
last step was djsui,i„„ ;;|pj an ap|H-al
to arms. After a struggle i,f fum
y-ears “iiumlwrs and the strut g arm”
prevailed, ami the South lost op the
field of battle what she had easily
defended in |Kilitical discussion.
Frankly and cheerfully accepting
'he irreversible decree pronounced
by that last of all earthly arbiters,
Die sword, the Soutli cannot and will
not accept the untrue and absurd
accounts of this great struggle and
of Southern character and Southern
civilization given by writers who
either do not know the facts, or who
fail to apply to them the plainest
principles of “historic interpreta
tion.” A* the same time, renieniVr-

pitied still more?”
