Carpet Baggcrs."

Some newspapers and politicians are seeking
to make "carpct baggcrs a term Of reproach,
rs applied to the Representatives and Sen.
ators sent to Congress from the Southern or
reconstructed States.
We can see no valid reason why a man who
has Identified himself with State where he
resides, whether his residence there has been
long or short, should not be elected to Con-
Sress, Indeed 1t often happens that these men
called adventures or carpet baggers" are
the very best men In the community. They
are the pioneers Of freedom and good govern.
ment, and in most instances arc the men who
build up States and establish ommonwealths.
We cannot see, viewing the question In tho
light OF true Democracy and Ia connectlon
with the genius of our Institutions, what bet.
ter right man born on the soil Of a State has
to represent 1t than the man who has resided
there but one or two years. The latter indiyld.
ual may have rs much or even more at stake
than the former lie may be better able to
represent all the Interests of his adopted State
and OF the nation than he who "is native and
