Publishers News. SUQAR PLANTEHS FOIt SALE. iThere Is something to think about In the umllsyuiseil merclnarlness of the Ijoulfslniri uugar planters have turned from tho democratic party to the rerjulfUcan party In order to better t-helr prospect for 'Plentiful protection. These began -wKh a meeting at DonaJd- doivvitle ond ended 'with a state convention In New Orleans, whence their thundering announccimcnt that 'the democratic party li.tvirrg railed to respond wlt'h liberality to their demand to niajo rich by heroic taxation of all tho rcut of the people they concluded to seek hlgheu' ptioe for their votes by transferring ithelr adhesion to tho republican enc-'my. This curiously and candidly unscrupulous political 'movement, was InauK'Uiu-teil 500 sugar planters who received for the past year over $11,000,000 for the of sugar.

Some oC thesa men, or the cor- pc-ratlons whl'oh they rcprcseii't, received $50,000, somu $75,000 und some $100,000 for carrying on the 'business which they had previously conducted without other In- Lhan tho price for which they toiKJ sell their sugar. They are determined ex-tort If from the pub: lie treasury or from t'he sugar consumers of the couniry a continuation of this for which the less fortunate producers of unprotected cotton, whrtU or corn mus; continue to pay. They signify Miclr deliberate purpose to abandon a party adhesion and to trade support Tor special privKege of le'jn'lzed plunder. They bring again to mhvd 't'he fact 'th'at the demoeratio party la a.llve i voracious- parasites ivho are opposed to 'protection that does not come t'helr way, -but who are through and when they ihave tho rea'Hy or 'prospect of, protective legislation that wiM fill their own coffers at the expenss of the public substance. No state.

In -the union has had ft greater share of the sympathy awd help of the demo'eratle party than Louisiana has injo5 ed. These sugar and other planters of their class were beneficiaries of democratic rule and when It cost the pa.rty grievously to stand up far them. As supremely and unrelenting protectionists they 'never 'had any proper bflonalng in the democratic as a tariff re-form and tariff for revenue only party. The democratic would have been morally and largely a gainer had it been utterly rid of their sinister adhesion long ago. For Its moral and political prestlge In the 'future it can 'not too soon relieve Itself of ali that sort of Invtwnlbrance, whether It Is a sugar Interest, a coal interest, an Iron Interest or any other Interest intent on using tho party organization as a vehicle for writing taxes for lie special protec-' tlon and aggrandizement.

Let the good people of Memphis BO back a or two In their crusade against lynchers. 'There have been some open and dastardly murders of helpless prison- ors In the city of Memphis which the officials made little or no effort to prevent or to punish. The Mllllngton fiends should be tried, convicted and hanged for their crime: but to hang them while others equally guilty are not even arrested for a like offense Is entirely too much like mob violence under color of law. The Kansas free thinkers at their recent state convention held In Topcka adopted the following resolutions: citizens of Kansas and citizens of the United 8ta.tes, do hereby beg the privilege of presenting this earnest wish to your excellency, Grover Cleveland, president, of the United States: Inasmuch as there been granted to every citizen of the United States the constitutional rights of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," and Inasmuch aa there has been granted by nature's law the divine right of being well --Inasmuch as we see the rich against tho poor, and the poor driven to selling their bodies and souls, and the man Bellini; his manhood and the woman her virtue for food nnd raiment. Therefore we, the undersigned, do humbly beg-, pray und entreat, nay demand, that yon take off your crown, vacate your throne, lay down your scepter and take yourself away from the sight of human uycw foruver.

It Is very questionable whether wlld- hoaded cattle of this stripe should be permitted to wander outside of asylum walls. This pitiful tulmlnatlon bears upon Its face the unmistakable marks of a fantastic and dangerous Insanity. The author of It Is doubtless beyond the reach of human skill, but some of the March hares who voted for it might be benellted by greasing their oddly-shaped heads with a bacon riud. Grand Master Workman Sovereign appears to have taken a decided stand against strikes. Referring to the recent Debs Insurrection; he Is reported as suyIng: I can Imagine that an emergency might arise that would Justify a strllce, but generally speaking only temporary victories are accomplished In that way.

sirlitiw widen the breach between labor and Its strikers are criminals. Workmen must look for relief to some other sources. If report of Sovereign's words is correct It may be pretty safely predicted that he will go the wuy of Mr. Powdcrly In due course of time. His con servatlsm will kill him.

The most horrible ghosts of any community are the spirits of the dead laws. In his citation of great things done by the congress Speaker CrUu In his recent Atlanta speech failed to mention either the repeal of the silver buying clause of the Sherman law or the defeat of the seigniorage bill by presidential veto No greater things than thono have been done under the present administration, and Speaker Crisp should muster up courage to say so even In Georgia. Georgia has a surplus of great and Idle men, and the Atlanta Constitution declares that "great Interest Is being taken by the In tho pnssaFrc cf tho for Increase of supreme court judges." New York city Is a most striking exam- of the outrageous plunder to whlr.h municipal government controlled by the ordinary party methods Invariably leads. The average salary of a governor in this country It and only three get as muoh as S10.000: but In N'nw York ltv What tht Papers Throughout the State Are Talking About. Garrison Signal: Two proposed amendments to the constitution are to he voted on nt the general election in November.

One provides that the legislature shall provide for the maintenance of Indigent ex-confederate noldlei-B and the other for the election of the railroad commissioners instead of appointment by the governor. Both should be adopted. The Rockport Beacon continues to rock and shine and proposes to keep right on. It says; "Men may come and men may go, but tho Beacon goes on forever." Let her go, Gallagher. The Bencon philosophizes on periodical outbursts of temper: When human passions become abnormally aroused without any known cause the astrologers cast the horoscope of tho mentally afflicted individuals In order to ascertain under tho baneful of what stars the dementia is produced.

That the human family are subject to periodic Ills of Insanity Is clearly apparent, If we observe the coursu of events In any community. Take one of the most fiulct nnd peaceable, and ut times they will become so bellgercnt that every one seems anxious to seek a difficulty with every other person and to foment trouble among all. Is not this the result of mental aberration In the community? A man can resist Incipient mental disease bv determined exorcise of the will. Bo by a firm position on the part of a community, when the savage dlsoosltlon of a wild beast Is struggling for ihc as- cenrliincy, It can be crushed out nnd the pane condition rfm be restored.

In view of these factB It Is pleasing to see that Don J.

East Texas The farmers of Polk county are to be congratulated Upon the prospects of a large harvest this fa)l. The Oakvllle Times says: The Beevllle Bee, announces' that H. F. Marr will act as pencil pusher while the editor Is off at Washington.

This probably accounts for, the great Improvement In the lost Issue. What this country needs is more brains and less "gab," an 1 the the people learn this the better for We think sometimes "forbearance ceases to be a virtue," and If some of our democratic exchanges don't quit abusing the populist party they are likely to hear from Democratic istist look a little out; the Times Is getting mhd. Port Lavacaen: A newspaper announces that a wave of Inebriety has struck Washington. This is stale news; the wave struck the national capital early In the- century and continues to rise. Congress is like a Texas politician said of tha democratic party: "It'can not be run without Waco Day-3lobtt Tho action of Waco and other communities In securing the services of expert freight men to look after the commercial Interests of those cities, as affected by railroad" rates, Is more matter of self-defense than anything else.

It Is timely movement and will no doubt he fruitful of good 'results-- the results being protection, under the circumstances thesa communities could not do otherwise than take this step, and no It Is commendable. But it is not so creditable to bur railroad commission that these communities should be virtually compelled-- as they are-- to adopt such a policy aa a measure of self- defense against tfie possible mistake or partiality of the tallway commission. It will hardly be denied that the action of the commission In lUlliji recent and existing tariffs has. led'. the movement cm ,9 'oy "5 least at Dallas anil Waco.

Thto commission, the people have been was framed to ba benefl- cent In scope and and the law- 1 makers iinrtnnhtwilly iMonrtM that It should be so. If true to Its purpose It would seem there ahould be no need, in any community, to tax citizens and business Interests for protection against the operations of this behoflabnt Institution. The commissioners shuUlu fuel the criticism conveyed In In? appointment of these freight experts. However. move has boon made now and It Ik to bo hoped that tho local might bureau will be able to look out for the 'Interests of some communities with mot'e fidelity than the commission appears to have done.

Huocugk of CAPE MAY PROPERTY. New Sept. -11, --The World this morning says: Eltsha M. Fulton, one of the organizers' 'of the cordage trust, has met with several commercial disasters recently. The collaple of the Industrial land development company of New Jersey is the.

last which hae overtaken him. This company Is winding up Its affairs, having iss-iieil notice to Its stockholders tu that effect. The Industrial land company was organized several years ago to dispose of Cape May, property. The company purchased of Charles Colwell of Philadelphia a tract of land containing ST 000 acres, and dividing it Inv building lots, advertised their sale of bargains. The scheme was to sell the lots to wage earn- er.TM In the large cities on the Installment plun, tempting them i glowing accounts of the 1 of the nlnce.

The company advertised the price 8s Several JunulroJ loU wwru sold to workmen In this city. Philadelphia Brooklyn nnd Newnrlr. Thousands of dollars were paid In by workmen. Now they have received notice that unless they pay 130 immediately they can not secure deeds to the property -whatever money they have paid hitherto will bo lost. The Newark lot buyers have formed a committee to Instltu'e a suit to sen whether in lefi.l! plocenuro.

Mr. Fulton was the moving spirit of the company, and Ihe lot owners claim thnt ho Is responsible. THE ASPINWALL WILL. Ponghkoepule, N. Sept.

Thus tariff reform will not end altogether in smoke, and Horace Greeley'n definition of a cigar as "touacco cylinder with flre at one end and a fool at the other" need not be recalled. at Plttsburg Post: The president Is.alto- wther right when he declare? at the end of his letter to Congressman Catching! that "tariff reform will not be settled until Is honestly and fairly settled In the In- terpftt and for tho bonellt of a jintlent and long-suffering people."

Franklin Mac- Veogh perhaps said a little more than he meant when he laid "the doctrine of states' rights is dead." His language Is strong and stronger than the facts warrant, for the constitution rccognltea tha rights of stntea, otherwise there would be no use of keeping up the distinction of separate states divided by imafflnary though legal boundaries. New York Mall and Express: Senator Illil, Ui tilt: jUunl" 1 14 of the people of the country, Is to-flay the most conspicuous and successful leader on his side of the senate. In his determined flght against the Income tax rider and in hla rigid adherence to the demands of the democratic national platform, as well as In his vigorous leadership during: tho Inns contest over the silver repeal quest Ion, Senator Hill dlsplaved the highest qualities of a skilled parliamentarian and resourceful and aggressive strategist. Plttaburpr Post: Chairman Culberson of the judiciary committee, and one of the strong men of the house, after twenty years of service, declined a. re-election this fall.

His democratic district convention last week, after tak'ns 5NO ballots, without making a choice, dropped all aspirants and renomlnated Mr. Culberson for another term. His son, the present attorney general, Is the democratic candidate for governor of Texas, and will have anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000 majority. The Culberson family Is In luck, with dad In congress and the boy governor of the biggest state of the union. Baltimore News: Last Reason was a poor one for oysters; times were not good, there was a gloomy outlook and dti-nand for the bivalves was below the average.

To consume many oysters the people must be in a cheerful mood. It Is kind of food eutcn chiefly between menls, at odd hours and late at night, those whrt Indulge must feel thnt thcv can spare the money for the purpose. Last winter many per- Bons did not feel so, and the usually brisk oyster trade languished. The prospect for tho season which began yesterday, however, Is considered mush brighter, and no doubt as soon as the weather cools to the proper degree the demand for fries, roasts and broils, or the plain article on the half- shell, will be general and animated.
