DEMOCRAT CoNUxDRum.

The Democratic papers are given to
conundrums The Terre Haute Journal
gets OH the following:
Why should the Demoratic party dis
band (tor this is what fusion with the So
called Liberal Republicans would result
in) has their glorious mission been
accomplished; has Republican govern
ment, the rights of States and civil
and religious liberty been secured to the
people tor all time to come?
The Sentinel answers because Demo
cratic Congressmen are so corrupt. 1t
says;
Never was there time in the history
OF the Democratic party when the rank
and file were less under the control of
those who assume to lead them, or less
willing to submit to the dictation of as
sumed leaders. The people look upon
the national capital as nest of cor
ruption, and they are not disposed to sub
nit to the dictation of Congressman who
breathe such an atmosphere, and who are
influenced to great extent by persoal
consideration and interests"
We score one for the Sentinel; and the
quicker the corrupt old party disbands
the better. Let 'er Rip

(Radical) now one of Greeley's bit
terest detractors, some four years
ago wanted to make him Governor
OF the State, and held him up as the
paragon of all human virtues. He
was represented as the purest, the
most popular of men. with Hor-
ace Greeley for Governor" said the
Democrat, 1--WE should at least be
sure OF an honest. pure and econom-
zeal administration. We should be
sure that the Empire State would
stand firm for freedom, equality and
true Democracy. Every good and
noble u would be promoted, and
all corrupt jobs and all dishonest
men dlscountenanced." Such was
the universal opinion of Greeley
among the Radicals up to the time
he began to oppose Grant.-[San

LIBERALITY,.

If we are to credit the Granite
the Democratic party died when i
nominated a Liberal Republican TO,
President. By parity of reasoning
the Republican party died when i
nominated a Buchanan Democrat
for President. We have heard fol
some thirteen years consecutiyely
that the Democratic party vas dead
and yet at Baltimore it showed it.
self to be quite as live a party as
any IN the country. Thirty-seven
States, all the Territories, the Dis
trict of Columbia, all the Congress
sional Districts of the States were
fully represented, and instead of
committing suicide, as we think, it
infused jus. enough men Of blood
into its veins to give force and
effect to all that is just now import
ant in its principles. 1t sacrificed
two OF its leading men to secure
liberal and good government in the
future. 1t adopted a platform,
essentially Democratic. made By its
old opponents, but still more the
opponents of the administration.
1t acted in the belief that a fight for
two live issues was better than a
Don Quixote fight with windmills.
Because it could not get all it want
ed, in the way of men and measures,
it very sensibly took all that it could
get of both, where they were in ac-
cord with its own faith. Its gain
will be victory for great measures,
and victory for the first time since
the defeat OF Buchanan. 1t will
have the honor of restoring the era
of good feeling and a beneieent
government throughout the land.
With its victory in November will
die out for a time, and we hope for
ever, sectionalism fanaticism, the
ill-blood and hatreds of the civil
war. There will be an end of Off
ciai brides and gifts, of using the
money for the prosecution
of State elections. of nepotism, and,
in a word-but that word speaks
whole chapters of misgovernnent

It is rumored that the English arc

1t is rumored that the English arc
troubled about the extension of new
lines of communication to the East
which they fear will afford facilities
for the visits of pestilence. 1t ap.
pears strange to think of the cholera
travelling by railway; but medical
men say that this dreaded plague
often comes by that means, and that
everything which quickens traffic be-
tween East and West facilitates the
progress of the disease. The CONT
mental infection which frightened
Great Britain last year, entered Russia
in 1869 by the new route through
Transcaucasia. This route leads from
the west of the Caspian Sea to the
extreme southern point of the Black
Sea at Poti. The shores of the Black
Sea are already connected with the
railway systems of Western Europe,
and a line of railway is projected be-
tween Poti, Tifiis, .Elizabethpol,
and Baku, connecting the Caspian
with the Black Sea. The theory has
been propouuded by eminent med
zeal authorities in England that on
the completion of this line of traffic
contagious currents in Persia will
become common in Europe. For
tunately famine is not contagious,
and Persia's most recent affection is
not likely to be introduced in Great
Britain through any development Of
new railway routes.

SABBATH

Another day of rest has come; {
golden milestone in the rough patti
of life. All along down the course Of
time, from the early dawn at lie
from the point where memory emer'
ges from the mist of infancy, these
happy Sabbath days are the bright
DAYS of life. No matter how hard the
toll during the week of drudgery, the
bright morning Of. rest brings elias
ITCHY to mind and muscle. No mat
ter what anxious are may weigh US
Town during the week, Sabbath morn
ing is a balr.,to sootkethe perturbed
mind and bring to light the silver
lining of the darkest cloud. If the
day IS not holy, made SO by our
Heavenly Father, it has been made so
by general consent, and by weaving
around it all the holy associations of
our lives. Why do We object to the
term "holy?" Are not holy things
to be enjoyed? Is poor man left to
gather enjoyment only from the car
La, sinful things of the world? Why
should mankind revolt at the cloth
inS Of the Sabbath day in the habila-
ments of holiness?. Such should
make the. day more attractive, more
to be loved, looked forward to with
anxious longing. We ought to thank
God, that at least there is one thing
holy in all the universe. The reason
why some conscientious souls revolt
at the idea of ascribing any holiness
to the day above that Of the six DAYS
of labor, is the force of -afalss educa-
t;p1 in youth. Our Puritanicalfathers
fenced the Sabbath in with what was
termed the :'Blua Laws" 1t was
considered a sin to be happy on that
day-at least to make any outward
demonstrations of happiness. To
smile was bordering upon the sinful,
and to give a hearty laugh endau-
gered the transgressor's soul. We
have become enlightened since eur
fathers lived-but we ought not to
fly to the other extreme and make
the Sabbath a day of riot and unbri-
ued license. Let our good judg-
nents govern our actions, and not
.Le repulsive passions.
