The Washington Chronicle says: II
Is evident that the question of admit
ting the colored people to membership
in the Oranges or Patrons of Husband
ry will beannoying. The Constitution
is silent OH the subject, and the refusal
OF some Southern Oranges to admit
any colored members is taken as an
indication that there Is something
more in the intention of the Order
than to merely "ignore the question. !"

A SNEAKING DODGE.

We believe the republicans of Iowa were
the first to initiate the novel experiment OF
condemning the acts of thcirown party while
continuing to support through thick and thin
the chief parties inculpated. The experiment
found fitting imitation in the radical con.
vention at Ottawa on Tuesday
The efirontery of attempts like this by the
radical party to make capital out Of its own
evil conduct must strike plain men as superb
atvcly prepOstcrous. They had no such hor-
ror of the salary steal while it was under way
in congress. The proposition to double the
Presidents salary and increase the pay of the
members Of congress was made during the
first week of the session. The democratic
journals sounded the alarm at once, but they
were met with rdiculc 1t was only when
the popular rcbuke began to rise into storm
that these scared republicans began to creep
into their local conventions to declare the act
wrong and demand its repeal, when the re-
peal, as to the President and retiring members
of congress, is impossible Just how much
such condemnation Of the acts Of the
republican party by It's own conventions
amounts To may be gathered from the fact that
the Iowa example has been initiated in Penn,

mr.. Groe.beck,. Letter.

Mr. Groesbeck has spoken. His letter
which we publ h elsewhere, together with
PREDATORY note, gives the views he en-
terta ined OF the political situation nearly
three months ago. The letter is marked
by that rare felicity OF style which tew
men in the country can equal. II is full
OF those marble like sentences that say so
much IN so little. Ii is n model letter,
the production OF n gentleman OF the lar
gest culture and experience, the opinion of
n statesman. 1t will command attention
throughout the country. Mr. Groesbecks
attitude, stated with great explicitness.

questions oi the past and the living Ques-

ulity To all forms Of monopoly, opposition
to Capitalization, the clinging to home
government with it's bonds OF affection
and interest, the advocacy OF Tree trade to
which all modern philosophy aud expert
ence point, and last Of all the devotion to
the Constitution, which is the stronghold
OF defense against the evils that beset our
Goyernment-these are the doctrines to
which Mr.. GroesbecK would have the
party of progress pledged and these, we
may add are precisely the doctrines of
the Democratic party. This letter, it
should be borne in mind, was written when
the possibility ofa general upheaval was
canvassed among political leaders more
confidently than at present, for the reason
that the people had not pronounced upon
the expedency of a change of the party
name as they have since done There are
many Democrats who, like Mr.. Groesbeck,
would willingly act with their old brethren
and with some new ones under a new name,
recognizing the fact that il is not the name
but the thing that is important But the
