DEMOCRATIC DUPLICITY. Henri Watterson’* Star-’Syed Goddess Gets Left And Henri Gets Mad and Tells Tale«. In the Courier-Journal the day before Christmas Henri Waiter- son had an editorial on Speaker Crisp and the new committees. He says in part: ‘‘For the first time in the history ot the demo cratic party in congress is the principle laid down that the organ ization of the house is a matter not. of friendly rivalry among friends, but of personal agrandisement and factional power. We had hoped for better things. A stronger man than C.iisp might have paused be fore giving himself and his party over to this.” Watterson says Springer has not shown peculiar capacity to lead the house. His selection smacks too much of the discharge of an obligation and a pretext to degrade the man who had done eminent work in the great movement and who has en- gaged the confidence of democrats everywhere. Watterson speaks of intimations that there was a deal of the “ regulation New York pat tern” between the new speaker and backers and Gov. Hill and backers,by which democratic prin ciples are to be sacrified to con gressional and presidential bar gains. “ Then indeed will the hosts of democracy rise in their might and their wrath, scattering those impious despoilers of truth and faith like a herd of cattle. The future alone can determine this, but the present is no time for mi n cing words. It is a time for plain talk. The speaker’s experiment starts out with almost universal distrust o f democrats in every part of the union. The overcoming of this and the establishment of its claim to public confidence can on ly be achieved by a display of great earnestness, perfect fidelity and undeniabls competency. Mr. Crisp from this time forward should keep before his eyes the awful spectre of Iveifer.” BLAINE AND CLAY. Courier- Journal. Mr. Blaine will never be presi dent. More than any other living statesman, he resembles Clay; the mantle of Clay seems, indeed, to have fallen upon him, and it car ries with it the doom that pursued Clay through his career. It Mr. Blaine is ever nominated he will be beaten. If he is ever nomina ted and has any show o f election he will die between the day of his election and the day of inaugura tion. There is reason to believe that he understands this, and that, when the time conies, he wil re fuse to allow his name to go before the convention, leaving Mr. Har rison in sole possession o f the field; and, if anybody supposes that Mr. Harrison will prove a weak candi date, or will be easily beaten, he does not. know the elements we shall have to tackle next year. We think we can win the next presidential battle; but it will re- quire all our resources, including a large modicum of prudence. THE TWO ON SILVER. ? We Furnish the You Take Them The last annual message of the last democratic president contain ed the status of that party on sil ver. Read it carefully and reflect: I recommend the entire suspen sion of the compulsory coinage of silver and the repeal of the Bland silver act.—Grover Cleveland. GEN. GRANT’S Now cast your optics on this lit tle excerpt from a republican mes sage and you will plainly see the difference. One party is for silver and the other is against it, see: I believe it is the earnest desire of a great majority of the people, as it is mine, that a full coin use shall be made of silver just as soon as the co operation of other nations can be secured and a ratio fixed that will give circulation equally to gold and silver. The business of the world demands the use o f both metals.—Ben Harrison. O R G IN A I_ S ^ “y EDITION for In Favor of Irrigation. Portland Oregonian. The improvement of arid lands is in a fair way to receive much attention from this congress. Mr. Carter, commissioner of the gen eral land office, has unofficially expressed the opinion that a state should be free to acquire the arid public lands wi thin its limits un der stringent conditions that it will irrigate them. The plan cor responds in principle with the law by which states now acquire swamp lands. Mr. Carter is a firm believer in the utility of irrigation on a large scale and considers that railroad companies should under take it in places where they have vast tract s of dry land. P. N.
