We were considerably amused at an occur

on Saturday. The crowd which set toward
the dining room at the dinner hour was SO
great that a servant was stationed at the door
to keep it closed, and allow the hungry ones
to enter only as fast as their was room for
seating them at the tables. Among the ex-
pectant crowd at the door at one time was
our honorable Speaker of the House. After
waiting for some time without gaining the
entree, a friend who was by his side said to
the doorkeeper, please let this gentleman,
our Speaker pass in, and the rest of us will
wait But the doorkeeper was up to snuff.

was no use, and our friend retreated as grace
fully as possible, and all hands waited their
turn hungrily if not patiently. On.

MANHOOD FITNESS.

From the NeD Orleans Republican.
Having invited questions from badly in
formed but willing Democrats, an orphan of
one weeks standing asks us what manhood
fitness is? Come up here, you little newly
fedged acolyte, and receive the lesson of the
day, for if Hatch has cast you off, We are not
disposed to give you up yet. The Democrat
is small, but it is willing to be taught, and as
there may be others not fully posted on
this subject, our instructive thesis may be of
general use.
''Manhood fitness" is this that in the mys-
terry of the law certain requirements are stipu-
lated for voters. Men must be of certain
age; they must be naturalized or native born;
they must be of sane mind; they must be en-
franchsed. This is all. Now any man who
can fill this bill is a voter, aud is fitted by
manhood for that position. The law being
blind cannot see his color, but it applies its
tests, and if he comes up to the measure he
is elected to be a citizen. He is a man,
capable of enjoyment, liable to suffer, sub
iect to taxation, amenable to punishment,
worthy of reward. This is manhood fitness
for citizenship. The man may not be rich
nor poor; he may not be a worthy asso-
ciate for the good and virtuous, but still he
is man, and he is fitted by law and by his
own nature TO be all that the best citizen is
The State accepts him in his situation, to do
same opportunities that it offers to others.
The law can not make him provident nor
wise, nor can it make him q fool or a spend
thrift. All it can do is to say that its favor
is the same to him, in his way, as it is to a
better man, in his way. And to appreciate
this better, it is only fair to say that in this
country society is the State
Manhood fitness, in political sense, has a
significance entirely distinct from what it has
in social sense. AS we cannot strip man
OF his absolute natural rights, so we should
never deprive him of certain absolute politi-
cal rights. All men should stand on the same
platform in the eye of the law in republi-
can government But as to social position,
that is province which society regulates for
itself. Every man chooses his own asso-
ciates. Wise men congregate together,
prize fighters seek one another, thieves hide
in common den, and drunkards fall into the
gutter. Poverty shuns the palace, and
wealth goes around the hovel. Eloquence
fingers on the lips of Frederick Douglass,
while solemn nonsense rolls from the Demo
cratic Finance Committee. And yet both of
these parties are men, and if we were as
blind as justice is said to be, it is easy to say
that Douglass would get the largest room in
the hotel, because the public would lean to
the most sensible company. The fitness of
man does not depend on his color, but on his
worth.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-09-27

tobacco, iron, salt, etc., are charged to the
consumers, and made a source of increased
profit to the capitalist.
Such tax has been levied on street rail-
way fares.
Naturally, taxes on any article increase its
cost to the consumer; but there are certain
taxes which capitalists pay and, by reason of
competition, cannot make others pay for
them. Such tax is that on incomes, since a
man making $4,000 a year is not able to
increase his prices because he pays $1,000 tax
on his income. Suppose the income of
newspaper establishment be $4,000 tax
Of ten per cent. would yield $40, 900, leaving
still net income of 500, 600.
Would the proprietor 'throw up" his estab-
lishment because his net profits under the
tax are but 100000? Would he raise his
prices for papers and advertising in conse-
quence of the tax? Not exactly; because he
is controlled by competition, and the old
rates are amply profitable notwithstanding
the tax

their talents and opportunities, lean on cha
rity for their daily bread" No working
man with three grains of common sense ex-
poets to obtain dollar of his neighbor's
goods except by working for it; and
this limiting at agrarianism is simply low clap,
trap, designed to deceive the Ignorant aud
foolish. Certainly, no laboring man need be
assured that what belongs to one man will
not be transferred to another without COM
Iensation; that for lands or other property
people must look to their own exertions and
not to the platforms of political demagogues
If the workingmen will look carefully about
them they will find that nearly all those who
assume their especial championship are SIM
ply office-seekers, expecting to obtain place
and power through this shallow pretense of
devotion to the cause of labor. Men who are
honest in their professions do not attempt
to fill the minds of their constituents with
hatred towards other and more powerful
classes. They do not attempt TO obtain prefer
ment for themselves through unworthy
appeals to mems passions. The man who
seeks to teach workingmen that lands will
come to them without purchase, or that any
good can result from 'labor reform" Political
PARTIES, is either a lunetic or demagogue.
He has not the interests of the laboring men
at heart. The only interest he has at heart
is self-interest; and instead of desiring to
ameliorate the condition of the toiling masses,
his only object is to use them for his own
selfish ends. This is plain talk, but it is
truth, and every workingman will see its
force. The more's the pity, most of the
men who obtain control of labor organiza-
tions devote efforts which, properly
directed, might result in good, to building
up antagonisms between employers and en-
ployed; to persuading workingmen that their
deadliest enemies are those not mechanics or
laborers. 1t is time this charlatanry were re-
ceiving the contempt it deserves, and its
authors were being kicked out of the places
they disgrace. AS worllingmen, devoting
more hours each day to toll than the hardest
blacksmith or machinist within the bailwick
of the Ag0Jdnche, we protest against honest,
hard-working Industrious men who labor to
support themselves and families being de-
ceived by the non-laboring frauds who set
themselves up as especial champions of labor
and laborers.
