There is an old. and jOften told story of the. officervhp daimed more fcredit for his )wn conduct under fire than for that of his men. They1 were not alraid: and so 'it-.. : ' I i they "but 1 didn't run away, , although I was most damnably afraid.!1 The reoson of that contention' is one that is-generally admitted,' and the world is not slow to acknowledge the virtue of the constitutional coward whose courage lies in his force of will, for there is such a thing as constitutional cowardice, and it can be conquered if a man's spirit: is greater than' the tremor of his nerves. ' 1 When the natural tremor is the stronger 4 a ad overcomes his will then J we write him down a' coward.! But what can be ' said '. of the man who makes no effort at all and cares not ih the least whether he be call ed a coward lor not? As '11- ;'H yet lone connpt believe that there are many such men. but at the. same time it . . .... ... j - , , f, f ... , ' is" impossible to ignore the fact that instances of i this weak surrender, are growing more plentiful, j and that there is the same tendency tq palliate cowardice that to palliate drunkenness novv seeks and crimed In the old days the drunkard and the thief ; were not overtenderly handled. : It was held that they sinned through what we Americans call 'j'cussedhess," and it Was judg ed that cuisedness could best be : i - cured by being whipped or put in the pillory or otherwise istrongly repressed. Now it has been discovered that the poor sinners are afflicted with mental disease, and serious doubts are cast on the humanity of forci ble restraint, even though that res traint takes the mild form of .short terms'of imprisonment. With much more truth might.it be represented that the coward cannot Vcdmmand his nerves, and that as a nervous invalid he rather merits pfty than- contempt. Such a vievv. may. be more humane and charitable, but it is far from being expedient. By all means let us hold it, if we . will, with' regard to a particular ' coward here and there, but heaven forbid that we should ever hold it with re- . j' j - - i .") gard to cowardice in general!; It is not in the least likely that we ever. shall do so, for the results would be so. immediate and so deplorable that ; 1 t i . : i' i 1 a healthy reaction iwoiild very soon set in.

THE TICKET, If ; there, is any reason why the Democrats should be turned ; down this " year, then don't hesitate to yotelfor that result: But if there is np just reason, it would be bad pbHcr to .do ;sqJ A: j voter should consider those two things before he casts his ballot in November. ' If after; consideration the voter de cides that the Democrats have governed this State extravagantly and Shiftlessly, then he should vote against them. If, however, he finds that the State government has been administered: - economically and carefully, he should beware how he votes into power a party that has rievef been tried, or put back into povvE?r a party that came near run ning ihe State in 1867-76. 7 T Ifj he finds that the Democratic party have" reduced the expenses of the State government, so as to re duce ' the tax on property from eighty-six cents on the hundred, to twenty-tw.d therihe should beware how he "turns 'that party out and puts in : new nanas. ir ne nnas, 'that, during a term of twenty years, there 4iave been no scandals or sus- picions of scandal connected with the Democratic administration of the State government, then he should hesitate before, he casts in his help to turn them out and? put- untried menln. I In an investigation along that line, one will nnd tnat tne uemocrats have always bben true to the trust placed in them, especially in. this State. . They have 'run the government on economical and will continue to do so. : State plans Then why vote to turn them out? . Are!. the Populists nominees better? -. ! n . . - i . . - i Verily,' they themsel ves can j make no such claim. Then what should one aor 1 now snouia one vote? The safe thing is to vote the ticket that the Democrats have nominat-' ed. Ex.
