Hardin of Kentucky will write a book
on -The Disadvantages of Repudiating
a Platform Upon Which a Candidate is
Nominated." It is expected that the
governor of Texas V"l take issue with
Mr. Hardin and traverse his argument
o
About the only thing left at which the
Democracy at present might win is to let
free silver alone and go in for a great
National chrysanthemum show. If it
does not let free silver alone in such a
show is about the only thing it will have
the remotest chance of winning a prize.
o
We feci that we have been through
the teeth of some kind of a political mill.
We hardly know what it was but all
the same we find ground up into the
smallest kind of powder powder mind
you that we can burn in the next presi-
dential campaign.
o
Hardiu's friends attribute his defeat in
Kentucky 1o the fact that when Mr. Car-
lisle came to Kentucky to register and a
reporter asked him "who he intended to
TOte for" that he auswered "I decline
to be interviewed. 1 will vote for whom
I please." If it is true that this negative
expression bent Hardiu it only goes to
prove what a positive man could do tif
he tried.
o
Russia may call her treaty with China
purely "commercial" and diplomatically
deny that there is anything "political" in
it but it crops out by sections and while
Corea will remain under the tutilage of
Japan Russia will extend her inlluence
in Manchuria and remain in de facto ios-
sossion of Port Arthur.
Certainly these lead to political conse-
quences that are apparent to the most
casual observer of the moves on the chess
board of Europe as well as Asia. It does
not look like an absolute necessity after
Japan conquered China that it should
make a treaty with Russia to be allowed
to keep the peace in Corea nor is the
eommereial necessity for Russia to noia
Tort Arthur apparent unless there was
some secret and broader intent in an mis
ninlnmncv.
Russia it looks like is going to be
smart enough to gather in the results or
tho Chinese victory bv Japan and while
indulging Japan with bon bons establish
solid rights in China before cotomporary
monarchies interested in the map of Eu-
rope and Asia know what the great
Northern Bear is about.
o
The only difficulty in South Carolina
is the illiteracy of the white voter. They
have succeeded in forming an organic
law that knocks the average negro out
of his vote but someone has reminded
them of the fact that they will kill about
as many white votes as they will negro
votes by their law requiring a certain
amount of education to vote. Sonth Car-
olina's educated whites are very highly
educated but the uueducnted of that
State are very dull.
o
The Republicans ought by all means
to hasten to celebrate the addition of
Kentucky to its political galaxy of States
by nominating Colonel Bradley the Re-
publican governor-elect for the presi-
dency of the United States. We say
"hasten" for they will have to improve
the short interregnum of Republican
rule in Kentucky ere it eludes their grasp.
Kentucky is not going to stay in the
Republican column long; it is not built
that way.
o
The Republicans have slightly compro
mised their sound money principles as
far as they go by making a combination
in Utah with the free silver Mormons
the result of which will be two senators
from that State with Republican free
silver principles so deeply stamped into
their natures as to lie a source of some
embarrassment to a caucus action of
Republicans unon sound money. Thus
it is that we are all smirched with the
same pitch.
Gorman is not hurt as badly in Mary
land as he deserves or as some suspect.
Gorman holds over and it is Gibson who
will yield his place in the United States
senate to a Republican. Give Gorman
time and he will do wonders. We veu-
ture the assertion that before Gorman
has to run the gauntlet of a Maryland
legislature he will have things fixed to
suit him or in other words that he will
bo elected to the senate.
It will take two falls in three to get
Gorman's shoulders to the ground and
there is no political athlete that can do
that. Gorman is the most skillful and
resourceful politician in America; or as
for that matter in Europe.
o
The president of the Wool Growers'
association of Texas at a recent meet-
ing at San Angclo complained that they
had suffered long and sorely and added
that even the men they had elected to
congress did not help them. We sup-
pose they mean by neglecting to pass a
bill in congress paying them a bonus to
raise sheep and wool.
It is rather surprising that the cattle
and hide interest in Texas which is
much greater than the sheep and wool
interest does not complain that congress
has never paid them a bonus to raise
cattle and hides. If the government gives
a sheep and wool man a bonus to encour-
age his industry it seems fair that it
would also give his neighbor on the ad-
joining ranch a bonus to raise cattle and
hides. Come to thiuk of it. why not pay
every industry a bonus to help it along?
But if that was the theory of this gov-
ernment where would we get the
money from to pay all the bonuses?
o
If the free silverites are satisfied that
they have succeeded in disrupting the
Democratic party and rendering it in its
present organization worthless to itself
and the country all they have to do is to
abandon the cause of this disaffection
and defeat and come up to the support
of the Democratic administration of Mr.
Cleveland and all will be well.
If they do this before the presidential
campaign of lSOtS the Democratic party
will again be solid with all the elements
of victory in its grasp and it will again
reinstate itself in the affections aud sup-
port of the masses of the American peo
ple. There is no doubt about it being in
its normal condition the most popular
party of the country aud that the people
entertain for its fundamental principles
the strongest affection and confidence
that it furnishes the only machinery upon
which this government can bo success-
fully run for the best interests of the
people.
o
WARS ARE INEVITABLE.
The Galveston-Dallas News has been
inspired by a late article in the North
American Review by Edward Atkinson
to write an editorial homily deprecating
the present preparations for war and al-
luding more particularly to the building
by the United States of two very expen-
sive "commerce destroyers." "The very
name by which these ships are designat-
ed" the News says "is a disgrace to the
ship to officers of the navy and
to the nation." The News has a
good deal more to say and it
says it well condemning the gen-
eral preparations for war among the
most civilized nations of the world.
We used to think when we were young-
er and more enthusiastic and indulged
visions of governments controlled by the
humanities and peace congresses that
war was an unnecessary evil incompat-
ible with the true spirit of civilization
and the higher elevation of man and even
uow we can dream dreams of a millen-
nium where white-winged peace will send
itsbenign influence over all the world but
the longer we live in this world the more
we are convinced that it is right and
proper in times of peace to prepare for
war.
The world has uot arrived at that se-
rene acme of perfection that makes its
WEEKLY STATESMAN. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 14 1895.
passions unusual and the indulgence of
wrong and violence by powerful iations
impossible. It may come dui i u
hard fact that such & condition ; i very
far in the distance.
There is something in the vigor if man
that is so assertive of his rights that if
others differ with him or if nation! differ
it must culminate in war and whle war
is a great evil it is not nor has t ever
been an absolute evil. While (he ar-
bitrament of force nnd the sword seems
brutal in our calmer moments thwe are
times when the human heart is wound
up to such a pitch that conflict1 seems
to be its inevitable and natural vet. All
the great principles that have resulted
in human right and mnnly assertion and
enjoyment of freedom have been the nat-
ural results of war and will be as long
as the temper of men and nations are
governed by our natural feelings. A
man may thiuk he has so subdued him-
self that he can quietly submit to insult
and even blows but when he comes up
to the test the old Adnm within him as-
serts his manhood and strikes back with
no fear of church discipline.
There certainly is no nation that has
arrived at that perfection of control that
it will submit to imposition and wrong
inflicted upon it by another nation and
there is certainly not another nation if
any opportunity for aggrandizement and
extent of her domains tempts it that will
not forget other nations' rights and make
some excuse to violate them. As long
as these conditions exist it is useless to
talk about abolishing war turning the
sword into the plowshare at ilhsco
sword into the plowshare and submit all
questions of international argument to
the peace congresses of nations.
Then too just as long as war is in
evitable it is the duty of a nation to be
prepared to defend the rights of its cit-
izens and the best way for us to do that
is to build a navy capable of defending
our shores from the invasion of a foreign
foe. Call them what you may "com-
merce destroyers" or what not the more
formidable you make these ships of war
the more will the nations of the earth
respect our rights and hesitate to get into
a war with us. You can rely upon ar-
bitration and peace congresses protect-
ing the rights of citizens of this republic
when the millennium dawns and throws
its benign influence over all the nations of
earth but the best 'peacemakers and pa-
cificators that we can possibly have now
is the most formidable war ships and
in command of them the bravest and
most skillful officers with the heaviest
artillery. If we build shifts of war let
us build efficient and formidable vessels
and put aboard of them the best artillery
that money and skill can obtain rather
than rely upon the advancement of men
and nations to that higher plane of hu-
manity that will make all wars unneces-
sary. As long as wars are necessary
let us in time of peace prepare for the
conflict.
The Nashville Banner calls attention
to the deceptive tricks of scheming dem
agogues who skilfully inject into State
campaigns National issues and says:
The people ought to make up their
minds to compel all candidates for State
offices hereafter to address themselves
to State issues and put themselves on
record fully and emphatically in regnrd
to the questions which obtain in the
management of State and county affairs.
Whoever may be nominated for governor
next year ought to be made to knuckle
down the to the task of talking to the
people about State affairs and the legis-
lative candidate who hasn't sense enough
and courage enough to talk of these
State questions of taxation aud fee-grab
bing public roads nnd other matters of
; policy should be made to 6tep down
nnd give way to some one who has some
ideas nnd convictions. lucre is great
need of giving close attention to State
matters.

What the Press of the Country Says
About tne LAna suae.
The defeat of P. Wat Hardin in Ken
tucky will serve a useful purpose if it
shall make the Democrats of the whole
country reflect that a sound financial pol
icy is necessary to the success of the par-
ty iu National affairs. Charleston S. C
ews ueni.j
It was the expiring effort of the infla
tionists nnd banishes their influence
from the field of calculation for the presi
dential contest. .New York Times
(Dem.)
It is not so much a Republican victory
in Kentucky as it is a free-silver Demo
cratic defeat. Kentucky will give no
comfort to the Republicans next Novem
ber. Chattanooga 'limes (Dem.)
The defeat of Hardin in Kentucky will
be the sure sign that the Democratic
party neither in the campaign of next
year nor in any future campaign is to
be a silver party and this will be a gain
and a boon to the country beyond meas
ure. New lork Post (Dem.)
There is no other reason for Kentucky
going Republican this year for the first
time in its history except the mistake
made by the leaders in attempting to
meet the difficulty of the silver question
bv nominating an unsound candidate on
a sound platform. New York World
(Dem.)
Free coinage of depreciated silver never
was a principle of the Democratic party
and the effort of Hardin the Democratic
nominee for governor of Kentucky to
make it so has brought him to grief. The
convention that nominated him declared
for sound money and Hardin was under
obligations to bow to the party will but
he undertook instead to defy it. lie
brazenly called on his party to elect him
while disregarding its conventions on the
leading issue of the day. The result is
that Kentucky's Democratic majority of
from 40.000 to 00.000 lias disappeared
and Bradley Republican who stood for
sound money is elected. Baltimore ouu
(Ind.)
Wherever the sound money question
entered into the election on Tuesday its
advocates won a decisive victory. In
Iowa there was an avowed free-silver
coinage party which disappeared under
a sweepiug Republican victory. Ken
tucky was lost to the Democrats or a
party majority greatly reduced accord-
ing to what the late returns may show
simply because Hardin though nominat-
ed on a sound-money platform went about
declaring for free silver. But the most
pronounced victory was in Missouri. In
the Eighteenth congressional district
which is usually Democratic Iladley
(Republican) was elected to congress over
Lane (Democrat) who made his canvass
with free silver as the chief issue. The
craze has passed away aud it is time for
Republican candidates for the presiden-
tial nomination to come down from the
fence and declare their views. Philadel
phia Ledger (Ind.)
What is the lesson? It is this and
these: Mr. Cleveland is still in posses
sion of the confidence of the masses.
They trust him. They have faith in
him. Ther resent slanders against him.
The people of Kentucky have faith in
Carlisle. They respect him. Ihose
who spring from obscurity into notoriety
aud into notoriety by slandering Ken
tucky's great and honored son will not
receive popular support. Another
thing: The commercial interests and
the thinking people of the country are
not going to stand any sentimental non-
sense from any party. When Democ-
racy is made to run counter to progress
and commercial prosperity; when the
Democratic label is stolen nnd placed
upon the wild vagaries of the Populists
the deception will be discovered and re-
sented. Party leaders should realize
this. Whether the silver idea is right
or wrong there are not enough people to
enforce it. Democracy downed the sub-
treasury scheme when it was outside the
party; it will down the free silver craze
when inside the party. Memphis Her-
ald (Dem.)
Democratic division caused Democratic
defeat. The party can hope for no suc-
cess in the future unless its parts be re-
united. Upon what basis then can
Democrats now antagonizing each other
be brought into harmonious political re
lations. It cannot be upon a free silver
basis. lhat would be against the logic
of events and do violence to sound judg-
ment. It matters not how strong a sil-
ver man a Democrat may be he must
see that the party can not become a free
coinage party m view of conditions pres
ent nnd probable. The conservative el
ement of the party is the staying element.
iimi ii is iur Mm mi iiiuiiey. ue iree sil
ver men may capture a State convention
here and there but the National Democ-
racy nnd the Democracy of all States
wherein the issue has been eonehisiv.ilv
made opposes the free coinage idea. The
Populist party is the only free coinage
party.
What. then is to be done for Democ
racy? Must it stay divided and defeat-
ed? Success can never come upon a free
silver platform. If the free coinage fac-
tion could carry the convention in Ten-
nessee for instance it could uot win nn
election. The Populists would not come
to the Turney machine. A Carroll-McDowell
deal would be a dismal failure.
lhe goods could not be delivered. The
next Democratic nominee for president

Democrats who. in regord to the comnli-
eated financial question which can be so
easily misunderstood have accented the
notion that free coinage would be a bet-

notion estrange tliem trom their party
and take them into the Pminlist nnrtr
which is the ominum gatherum of polit-
ical vagaries and the odds nnd ends of
impracticable isms? Some mav prefer
that political association but niLnv win

The brave apostles of other creeds may
well feel disheartened at the utter hope-
lessness of making proselytes among
them for what greater bliss could they
offer in exchange for this? If it be so
ordained that they are to die on these-
steps among hurrying feet in the full
glare of the sun. and exposed to the burn-
ing wind they shall pass away in perfect
content sure that their souls will attain
the long-coveted rest without first un-
dergoing probation in any inferior form
of animal life. 'Die at Benares or die
on heriditary land' is a saying held in
repute among orthodox Hindus for this
is their Mecca."
WHAT IS A GUARANTEE?
It is this. If you have a cough or cold
a tickling in the throat which keeps you
constantly coughing or if you are af-
flicted with any chest throat or lung
trouble whooping cough etc- and you
use Ballard's Horehound Syrup as di-
rected giving it a fair trial and no ben-
efit is experienced we authorize our ad-
vertised agent to refund your money on

satisfaction. It promptly relieves bron-
