C Sunday, Morning. June 16, 1895 THE MIDDLE GROUND. The presumption has been that this is a country in which the ma jority rules. Theoretically It is, but in practice this presumption has not always been sustained, but on the contrary has been, at least In the last half century, very seldom sus tained. The presumption also is that in the great political parties which contend for the supremacy the majority rules. This does not al ways hold good, for very frequently it is the smaller but more assertive or aggressive faction which controls' the party; but it has always been the proud boast of the Democratic party th3t In it the majority does rule. f Now for the first time in a gene ration after moving unitedly until it had won the victory for which it had heroically battled for a generation, we see signs of restiveness and a dis position in certain contingencies to ignore the voice of the majority and force the party to accept the dic tates of the minority as a condition of fealty and acquiesscence in the de crees of its duly constituted conven tions. For the first time men who call themselves Democrats publicly and openly declare that unless the next national convention does so and so, and does what they want it to do, they will repudiate its utterances, and either make a party of their own or fall in under the standards of the Republican party which they had been Sghting all their lives, provided that party act more to their liking on one issue which has for some time been engaging the attention of the American people. In an interview recently Hon. W. C. Whitney, of New York, declared that unless the next national Demo cratic convention pronounced for "sound money," that is, declared it- self in favor of the present monetary system, it would be split in two, which means that the minority will secede, and run candidates of its own. Mr. Wnitney is a very distinguished Democrat, was Secretary of the Navy under Mr. Cleveland's first ad ministration, and has been promi nently mentioned as a candidate for the party in 1896. His utterances are therefore mure than the utter ances of an ordinary individual, and are the more significant on account of his standing in the party. Col. Henry Watterson, of Louis ville, said recently that it depended upon the Democrats themselves whether they carried Kentucky at the next election or not, for f they adopted a free silver platform there were 40,000 "sound money" Demo crats who would refuse to vote with the party, but would in preference vote witn the .Republican party. These are two simple utterances coming from two distinguished Dem ocrats on one side of the silver ques tion. Hon. Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, one of the leading Democrats in the West, said in a speech at Jackson, Miss., a few days ago that, although he had been reared a Democrat and had never been anything else, if the next Democratic convention adopted a gold platform, he would die in his tracks before he would vote the tick et. . Others more or less prominent in the party's councils have made substantially the same declaration, that is, unless the majority of the convention accepted their terms, they would secede and nominate candi dates of their own. These are rep resentative men and doubtless ex press the views of others whom they represent, but simmered down it sim ply means that nnless the majority consents to be governed in the con vention by the minority, the minor ity will withdraw and go into busi ness on its own account. ;That is not the kina of Democracy we used to have in this country, and that we were all proud of. The silver issue is a great one, and a very important one But is not a , new one.' We have had it in some shape for twenty-odd years, and Democrats have accepted the decla tions of their conventions on that as they have on the tariff and other questions in which individual Demo crats might differ. - Democrats have differed on the tariff and differ now,4 but the Democrat who would desert the party and go over to the Repub lican party because the Democratic party didn't go far enough on the line of protection to suit him would be looked upon as a renegade. But the fact that the more out spoken of the representative men on the respective sides of the silver question hint at a possible di vision of the party and pre dict it in a certain contingency shows the necessity of avoiding this con tingency and looking for some mid dle ground of safety. The line of safety is In conservatism and in mu tual concession. If unlimited free coinage is to drive gold standard Democrats into a party by them selves, and the gold standard is to drive silver men into a party by themselves, then the men who desire the life of the Democratic party and believe it is good for the country that it should live should seek the half way ground between unlimited silver and autocratic gold, a half way ground where they can recog nize both gold and silver without surrendering to either. This half way ground is limited coinage, which will remonetize silver, and State banks, which will supply the local demand for money which now gives emphasis to the demand for unlim ited coinage. MIBIOR MENTION. A number of the negro emigrants who left Savannah some time ago, under the auspices of the African Colonization Society, have returned to this 'country sufficiently amused with their experience in Liberia. One of their objections was the climate, which they said did not agree with the health of the immigrants. It was reported on the arrival of the party which sailed in the Horsa from Savannah, that those of them who needed it were supplied with provisions to last them for some time, and thus they were started out in their iew field. Very few of them were fixed for such a venture as that, and were, as usual in such cases, in fluenced by the representations that were made by agents of the Society, and knew really nothing about what they were doing, and nothing about the country to which they were go ing, and it was therefore natural to expect , that this venture would prove a failure, as many similar ones had before. But the colored people seem to learn nothing from the expe rience of others, if the know of the experience, and impulsively become the easy dupes and victims of the sharp, glib-tongued men who go among them and draw fanciful pic tures of the bright future in store for those who shuck out'their little cash and follow them. On. the representa tions of such men considerable num bers of negroes from Alabama, Mis sissippi and other States went to Mexico some time ago, where those of them who have not been able to beat their way back are leading a wretched existence. There may be some countries in t which the negro might be better off than the South ern portion of the United States, but they haven't been discovered up to this writing. at It is all well enough to invite and welcome capital from other countries, but there are certain kinds of invest ments which should not be permit ted, much less encouraged. One of these is the buying' up and holding of large bodies of land by foreign capitalists and the other the buying up and holding of mineral proper ties for speculative purposes. Mil lions ot acres of land, some of it our best farming and timber lands, are now owned ' by Europeans, some of whom never saw and. never expect to see this country. Non-resident En glishmen already own over 20,000, 000 acres, Hollanders 5,000,000 and Germans 2,000,000, making a total of 27,000,00 acres owned by a few people of these three countries, which, if in one body, would be but little smaller than the State of North Car olina, and much larger than a num ber of States in the Union. The price for which these lands were purchased was in most cases merely nominal, and there is no compensating benefit for the sale or sacrifice made. With other ob jections it establishes a system of landlordism in this country which should be frowned upon, and de prives our own people of land which will be necessary for their comfort and prosperity as the population In creases and the unoccupied lands are taken up. Our lands should be the inheritance of our own people, and be preserved as such, except in cases where people come to settle upon them in good .faith, to make their homes and cast their destiny with us. According to the report of the Di rector of the U. S. Mint the world's production of gold and silver last year exceeds that of any other year in the mstory of mining. The in crease in the production of gold has been much larger than that of silver, South Africa leading, Australia fol lowing, and the United States com ing third. While the United States rank third in gold production they rank, first in the production of silver. The production of gold may and probably will be increased in this country as the methods of working the ores are improved and new dis coveries are made, .but one half what is; claimed for South Africa be true that will be the future great gold held of the world. English owner ship or influence controls that. Eng land owns no silver territory worth speaking of, and consequently Eng land is not interested In keeping up the value silver, but is interested in keeping up the value of gold, while this country is interested in keeping up the value of both, but especially of silver, of which she is the world's greatest producer and will continue to be for seme years to come. What business sense is there in a policy that plays into the hands of the Eng lish gold producers, and freezes out the metal which would add many millions annually to our wealth if we did not insanely discriminate against it at the dictation of powers whose interest it is to depreciate it ? CURRENT COMMENT. The suspicion is growing in some quarters that there are two sides to the brick in Grandpa's hat. One side is gold and the other silver. St. Louis Republic, Dem. The attention of our esteemed Republican contemporaries is called to the fact that not only has the Ad ministration succeeded in undoing the blunders ot its predecessor, with the result of an increased and still increasing activity in business the country over, but it has also manip ulated the Treasury deficit into what will -be at the end of the present month an excess of two or three mil lions of dollars over the expenditures a happy condition of affairs not reached in any one month for several years. If this be Democratic bung ling and incompetency, the country will be thankful for a little more of the same. Philadelphia Record, Dem. If the question of interna tional bimetallism upon a ratio to be agreed upon by Europe and America could be submitted to the business men of the city of New York bankers, brokers, merchants, man agers of large corporations and pro fessional men it would be adopted by not less ten to one. It would be opposed by two classes: First, the rabid silver men, who think bimetal lism would not be enjoyable if shared by other nations, and second, the rabid monometallists, who do not think that a common agreement among the nations to open their mints to the free coinage of both metals .at a fixed ratio would raise the price of silver or make "sound money" of it. New York Journal, Dem. SPIRITS TURPENTINE. Rocky Mount Argonaut: A new vein of good ore was struck at the Mann Arrineton mines a few days ago.

The boarders were seated at the table and bad about finished their meal when a drummer said to one of the waiters, in a jocular way: "Of course this is the ice that was packed around the corpse." "Whotole yer, boss," was the reply that made him sick down to his feet. Several of the waiters were then questioned, all of whom de clared that the ice was the same that was packed around the corpse. An in dignation meeting j was held, which was attended by all the boarders, at which the maid who was in the room with the corpse, testified as to the correctness the waiters' statement.

A story is told of an Ingenious trick by which a shilling was made to double its value. Unhappily, the trick was not quite an honest one. A drinking party at a "pub" found themselves reduced to their last shilling. One of the party suddenly said, "Give it tome, and I will double it." He took it to a neighboring pawnshop, where the amused broker lent him ten pence, writing at bis request, "A pieoe of silver plate, " on the ticket. Returning to the barroom, the tenpence was soon drunk off, and then this ticket was produced, tifine host was asked to purchase it for a shilling's worth of ale, and he willingly did so, thinking that the conviviality of his customer had. made him not overwlsee The ale was drunk, and the party left. By and by mine host thought bo would realize his property, and carried his ticket to the pawnshop. His surprise was hardly equaled by his gratification when he found what the "piece of silver plate" consisted of. Liverpool Mercury. Rain From a Clear Sky. Professor Russell, who has made scien tific inquiry into nearly 100 instances of rain and snow falls from the clear sky, says that he has found that. in the majority of such instances the fall took place on the southwest side of an area of low barometer at a distance of about 500 miles from its center. Two noted Instances of the kind under consideration, one of snow and the other of rain, have received much atten tion from the meteorologists. The first was a snowstorm from a clear sky at Blooming ton, Ills., March 15, 1885, in which the ground was covered to the depth of an inch; the second, a heavy shower of rain at Vevay, Ind., on the afternoon of .June 80, 1877.

Hardin, t THE' 8T6RV70ry THE" NEST7 , trooibt?, Hatlnf, Hatching;' and teaching 1 th Tonngr Birds to Sly. v From" the humming bird to tha eagle the daily existence of every bird is a remote and bevritohixtg mystery. ' The bird is our little broth er, and it is only during tne nesting period that -we can study his domes tic life and keep the married couple under close investigation. The nest differs from our home in the fact that it is solely a nursery, for the moment the nestling can fly the world is his home, any comfortable twig ia a bedroom and a spray oi leaves a shelter. He lunches wher ever he meets his prey and when ever he feels hungry and. thus needs no dining room with its accompany ing kitchen and storeroom. In bird life at nesting time, which is the courting time of our bird friends, they are in great contradistinction to ourselves. It is the male thai plumes himself out in his most gor geous plumage, while the bride, aa a- rule, wears a dingy dress. But there axe fights among the birds for their brides, often alienation of af fection and sometimes murder. There are, too, in birds the spinsters and bachelors, who look on with cold contempt at the quarrels of the youngsters, many of whom to charm or win a bride sing their sweetest songs and dance or drum with their wings. As a rule, the female' bird selects the site for the nest, and in many cases she is alone the architect, while the male bird simply aids her with his song and brings her food. That many birds return to the same nesting place year after year is undoubted. This is true of the swallow, building its small earthen home under our eaves, and most particularly noticeable with the rooks, who are most conservative An authentic story is told of a fami ly of rooks who had for centuries built their nests in a cathedral close in England when a pair had the rad ical temerity to select a tree in the neighboring barrack , yard. The -whole parliament of rooks of that colony were called together, and with many caws discussed the sub ject on the cathedral green. An al most gray headed rook took the floor, and it was evidently decided that the barrack tree should be look ed upon as a colony, for the birds were, allowed to build there in peace. In hatching the brood there is a great difference among birds. The ruby throated humming bird never comes near the nest, just caroling away in the near -vicinity. The song sparrows, however, take turn and turn about on the nest, and this is true about many other birds. It is generally said that birds give up all care of their young as soon as they are fledged. This is absolutely in correct. The parent bird gives the first lessons in flying as carefully as do we in seeing our children toddle across the floor. When the young bird has miscal culated the distance from bough to bough and fluttered to tho ground, the parents are as solicitous over the fall as any mother over the tumble of her babe, and with encouraging bird talk make the youngster jump to some perch and not infrequently actually carry him there. Young birds, like young children, are often indiscreet, and the young mocking bird is one of the most obstreperous of fledgelings, causing his parents an infinity of trouble. They climb out of their nests days before they can fly and are an easy prey to their many enemies, especially, man, but are guarded and fed to the utmost by their parents. In the nesting time, especially when the young are hatched, birds use the strangest ways to keep an enemy away from the home of the brood. There has been and is still a cru sade against almost every bird by the farmer and fruitgrower," and their nests are ruthlessly destroyed or robbed.
