T!ie people did not hesitate to denounce the Died Scott decision, and there were general manifestations of disapproval when the Supreme Conrt participated in the theft of the presidency of 1876. The manner in which the high judicial body finally reached a conclusion on the income tax was not calculated to produce a surplus of confidence on tlie part of the people. There may be too much of a good thing—so-called good laws included. A Polish lad entered a cigar atore in New York, grabbed a handful 1 of cigars and made off. A young woman in charge seized a pistol and gave chase. The thief was captured by tlie police and so was the woman. It is not stated whether the former was punished, hut the latter was fined 85 'ey (lie magistrate for carrying a pistol will,out a permit, although she proved that a cousin had left tlie weapon in the store for safekeeping.

THE SILVER CONCENT RATION Under this cuptiiin, the Republican. ot Springfield, Mass., ati organ sup porting M-ij >r McKinley, tliscusses the cliiinces of Mr. Bryan, and shows how the Populist votes may turne than make up lor any defection in the tanks of the Democratic party. It draws a picture which has a somber side from a Republican point of view. Here itis: '■It seems that a young man tliiity six years old lias more Presidential nominations than lie knows what to do with. This may never happen again. Hat whatever course Mr. Btyun may now pursue toward the Populist nominal ion, we must regard the con centration of tiie silver forces of Amer ; ..... . . . , , , , 'V' 1 .. ' 11 u single leader as substan Rally accomplished by yeste.iday's action at St, Louis. We venture to predict that every silver vote in tlie country will be cast for Bryan, Demo cratic or Populist; trie silver strength is now consolidated, and we state sim ple facts when we say that this concen tration of scattered political forces has •lever been surpassed, regarded as a simple political achievement, in American history. If the stroke be judged by the number of votes in volved, it has no parallel in the histo ry of the world. "Parties of like size have never before been amalgamated in support of a single candidate on the eve of a great political battle. The Democrat ic party iu 1892 cast for President 5,556,562 votes aud elected its candi dates. The regular nominees this year will not secure that uuinher ol votes from the old-party organization on account ot the bolt of the gold standard Democrats, yet how many will be lost thereby ? Will the strength of the Populists more than make up tor tlie defection T The latest estimate of the total Populist vote is, therefore, of immediate consequence. ' In 1892 Geueral Weaver, Populist candidate for the Presidency, polled 1,055,424: votes, and, what is ot mote significance, the total Populist vote cast in the various State elections in 1894 was iu rouud numbers 1,300,000 votes, an increase of about 300,000 compared with the vote for Weaver, There can be little doubt that all the votes cast for Populist candidates in the State elections of 1894 will be cast for Bryan in 1896. We find, moreover, on analysis of the returns of the Popu list vote for 1894, that its aggregate iu the w hole country not ouly increased, bnt that it showed a strong upward tendency in sttclt pivotal States as Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, and Califor nia, not to mention a State like Kan sas. Comparisons based on the 1892 vote for State officers reveal iu Cali fornia an increase iu 1894 from 15,000 to 51,000, in Iowa from 20,000 to 32, 000, in Illinois from 20.108 to 59,793, in Indiana from 22,017 to 29,388, in, Minnesota from 39,863 to 87,931, It is best to know the worst, aud there it is.

June 17th, 1896 by the Demo cratic State convention, we find vigor ously expressed the policy which Lou isiana Democrats, whether of sound money convictions or ot bimetallism proclivities must at last follow, how ever much they may differ upon the national Democratic platform. Ob serve this resolution: "Resolved. That we proclaim our loyal ndhetence to its time-honored politics and organization ; and that our delegates to the National Demo cratic convention at Chicago are in structed t.i> hold the autonomy of the party ns the paramount issue. The above stands as the first reso lution ill order it; the platform ; and it is the only one upon which specific and categorical instructions are given to oi r delegates. No matter what the convention of Chictgo ruled ns the policy of the pally, they had to submit iu older to preserve the autonomy of the party. It the national convention passed a resolution iu me .--eiise of sound mon ey currency, the delegates had to stay in order to reset ve the autonomy of tlie party. It it decided the reveise— snfy they must under their instruc tions. Now there isdee.i seated poDcv 'n that tesolve-Lmiisiiiiia policy—So.Uh ern policy.

Every one, who iotii-cts, knows ihat lorce lulls me still :n reserve to he repro duced when :lu* propitious time comes. The propimiu.s iime is when the Dem ocratic party, the bulwark of Southern rights and liberties, is either paralyzed or so shattered us to he unable to pro tect the land against a renew al of former calamities. Hence notwithstanding the silver plank in the Demociatic platform, and even other ohjectionnl policies, we, as Southern Democrats, withoutyield ing a particle of our convictions as to sound money policy, have uo other alternative but to stand by the auton omy of the party. Support of Me Kitilev with all that his candidacy and election import, is a matter of impos sibility. So far from discussing his support, we lay it down that bis de feat is onr ultimate protection. Therefore, bidding our time in the future, we positively can sec nothing for Southern Deuiociats to do except to support the regular Democratic ticket. We are confronted on one hani with free silver aud other politi cal vagaries. That is bad, it is true. But on the other hand, we are threatened with force bills, a robber system of tariff taxation which lias brought upon us all the ills we me now subjected to, negro doini nation, an incubus of evil, that if mice fixed upon us we will not be able to tSnow off iu a quarter of a eeuturv.
