THE DEMOCRAT
Mineral Point, Friday, May 0,1870.
Qeo. Crawford, Robt. M. Crawford,
BDITOItS AND I’IIOPUILTORS.
Springfield Register: The under
lying theory of the so-called Repub
lican party is, that the people of
tho United States are incapable of
maintaining peaceful, orderly, law
ful government among themselves,
and, therefore, it is necessary that
they should be subjected to. the
supervisory protective care of an
authority not subject to their direct
influence or control.
Tho Russian government is mak
ing an average of four thousand
arrests a day of persons charged
with nihilism. At this rate it is
only a question of time when the
last of tho conspirators will tie in
prison, and tho emperor can walk
Out without fear of assassination
from his wife and children, as these
will probably be all the people that
Will bo loft,—Reek.
The committee appointed to in
vestigate the charges of fraud made
against tho fit. Diuis philanthropists
who nobly steeped forward to re
ceive and distribute tho money
■or.t to help emigrating negroes on
to Kansas, has nit yet reported.
Consequently tiro donors are still
waiting for information as to what
the philanthropists aforesaid have
done with V.ieir contribution:. As
ferns heard from $101)0 had been
tocle /cd rail only iSJCrt had been
distiihute 1 among tho n, groan.
Doubt! ws the philanthropists have
put lio h Jin.co where it will io the
must good —where neither the im
provkuul emigrant nor tho cver
credulo .s cul lotibers will !*o able
to got at it. At present that is the
prevailing belief, which can only be
changed by the report of the invis
tigators.
Detroit Free Press: The Kxecu
livo if lio had boon perfectly honest,
would have simply announce to the
House Ihat Ilf Vetoed tilt) bill be
cause tins Republicans in Congress
had made snob a terrible hullabaloo
over it ihat bn dared not do other
wise, The fact that bn ban debited
the lloiiHo with a naiHH of words
will not concnnl this knowledge
from the Mourn*; nor will the fiiet
that bn him choHed to inlinnite, in
almost ho many words, that be will
veto the I legislative Appropriation
bill, no matter how salutary it may
be, if il contain what be know as
“riders,” heighten the respect which
Congress will feel for his veto of the
Army bill.
Do Van llenlly Want a Strong
Movernnienl {
New York San.
The common answer b> the in
quiry, Why are you in favor of (ien.
(Irani. ? is, We want a strong gov
eminent.
Now, is it worth while to ponder
Somewhat over this proposition,
and consider whether a strong gov
ernment is really desirable.
What is a strong government?
People in this country who mention
it so cavalierly labor under the
mistake that il is a government
strong to protect its citizens in their
lights. Practically, such is seldom,
if ever, the ease.
A strong government is strong to
oppress, So far ns protection is
concerned, it is only strong to pn>*
tod itself by the oppression of
others.
In speaking of Men. (Irani as a
man who, if re-elected, would give
the boiled States a strong govern
ment, what is meant ?
Il is meant that lie would make
an administration strong for the
negroes at (he expense ofthe whites;
strong for the carpet-bagger at the
expense of the substantial and per
manent resident;an administration
Strung in the cohesive power of
public plunder.
It would certainly he an admin
istration of a strong odor; for it
would smell of Babcock and Robe
son and the Whiskey Ring.
It would be an admimistration
strong in military support and des
potic tendencies.
Strong governments make them
selves strong at the cost ofthe blood
and the liberties of the people.
A strung government, would be
out of place in the United States.
The Reason for Re-clectlmr
Grant.
New York Sun.
There in no more reason for re
electing Grant now than there was
when hi* second term expired,
except that he has been treated
with much attention by certain
foreign potentates. And is that a
lesson why the Amercan people
should elect him president a third
time?
The crowned heads of the Old,
World would like togivc usak ing.
Is that any reason why we should
accept a king?
The American people will choose
their own president without foreign
dictation or foreign influence, and
the instinct of freedom will prompt
them to elect some man other than
Grant.
New Haven Register: The Dem
ocratic parly of the present day, fol
lowing in the footsteps of the Dem
ocratic-Republican party of Jeffer
son, propose to wipe from the stat
ute Isstk the present centralizing
laws, just as the “alien and sedition”
laws were blotted out in the olden
time. That a similar success will
crown their efforts in the impend
ing struggle cannot be doubted.
Congress will carefully, calmly and
deliberately consider the question
forced upon it by Mr. Hayes. Pru
dence, moderation and unflinching
firmness in support of the right will
characterize its action. Hayes will
he compelled to plant his feet
squarely upon the slippery ground
of Federal centralization. He will
ho forced to say plainly and with
out evasion that he and the Repub
lican parly propose to manipulate
State elections hy the employment
if Federal soldiers, under the flimsy
pretence f “keeping the peace.”
Having once squarely taken that
position, Hayes and the Republican
party will be swallowed up in the
angry waves of a Red Men of popu
lar indignation.
Sale of (he Plat ter I lie Narrow
Mange.
Oalnim (iazulte, >
The Malena and Southron Wis
consin railroad was sold to the high
est bidder at the front door of the
court house last Saturday morning,
by Daniel S. Harris, special com
missioner appointed by the court to
make such sale. The property was
bid in by .lames S. Ryan, of (be
purchasing committee, in behalf of
the company, for the sum of $2,000
and includes the narrow gauge road
between this city and I’lalteville;
the exlens'on thereof, and all the
tenements and appurtenances there
to belonging or in any way apper
taining. The purchasing eommit-
I selected by the bondholders to
represent (heir interest at the sale,
were Messrs..!. M. Ryan, Win. Dick
son and John 11. Heilman. There
was only one hid offered on the pro
perly that of Mr. Ryan and tins
being the ease, it was knocked down
to the bondholders. The sale was
made in pursuance of a decree en
tered by the circuit court in March
last, and was attended by a very
large number of stock and bond
holders of the road.
The real ami personal effects of
the M. and S. W, R. R, company
have now passed out of the hands
ofthe stockholders into those of the
bondholders, who, it is hoyed, will
repair the road and complete the
extension at the earliest practical
moment.
