The Democrats think that part is
greater than the whole. They admit that
when united they are too weak to con-
tend with the Republicans, and can never
secure the offices. But they imagine that
if they can divide the party, they can
achieve success. They have much to say
about the salary stealers, and charge that
iniquity upon the Republicans. Now if
all the Democrats in Congress had voted
against the steal, and even a majority of
the Republicans had voted for it, they
might talk; but majority of the Demo
Gratis voted for the steal, and majority
of the Republicans voted against it. If
we must carry our Wilson, they must
carry their Van Trump; if we must carry
our Shellabarger and Bingham, they
must carry their Lamison and their
Dodds

Fhe back salary business is not yet dis

Missouri annotator amuses himself at the
expense of Congressman's feelings, by
discussing it in this wise: There are sew
eral grades of offense in the back-pay sal
ary grab, and we classify them as follows
Burglary and larceny-openly voting for
and receiving the money; receiving stolen
property,-voting against the steal and
then taking the money; compounding a

The people of Tampa county, Iowa,
have hit upon novel and effective man
ner of condoning for the rascality of their
Representative in Congress, Mr.. Weldon,
who helped himself to back pay. The
county, by popular vote, has decided to
return to the Treasury of the United
States their proper share of the Congress
mans swag. The idea is good one, and
we should like to see it followed up. If
the people will send unworthy men to
Congress they shQRld be made response
BILE for their assaults upon the Treasury.
-Cfncinnati Enquirer
Now, we suggest that the Radicals of
John T. Wilson's and John A. Smith S
districts go to work and make up a pony
purse of FIVE thousand dollars for each of
these worthless, and place the amount in
the Treasury of the United States If
they will elect men who will thus steal
money from the Treasury they ought to
make good their agents thefts. Who
will start the subscription Don't all
speak at once.-Brown County Nelos.
We second the motion, and suggest
that the Vinton Record and Portsmouth
Republican head the list, to be followed
by the Portsmouth Tribune, fronton Jour
nal, &C., &c.

If one disreputable act can make an
other reputable by contrast, or degree of
turpitude, then certain members of the
last Congress were very successful in
making the back pay grab respectable.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times thus refers to one trans
action of the kind to which we refer:
There has been great deal of indig-
nation privately expressed by persons in
terested at the manner in which the vol
umes of the Medical and Surgical Histo-
ry of the War have been disposed of by
some members of Congress. There were
from nine to eleven sets printed for each
Senator and member of the House One
would suppose that every member would
have, at least, that small number of phys
icians in his district to whom he would
esteem it a privilege to send the set, and
who would be anxious to secure it, but,
mysteriously, large number of sets
found their way into the hands of dealers
in secondhand books and document
brokers and at one time they were sell
ing for 80 and $40 a set. The price has
since increased somewhat, but there are
still sets to be had at a very moderate
price compared with the cost to the Gov
ernment There is no doubt that sew
eral members sold their sets outright, or
allowed persons connected with, or de-
pendent upon them. to make the sales
and pocket the priees,'
The names of the members who were
guilty of this appropriation of public
property-for it was nothing else-should
be publicly exposed. The people have
at least the right to know who sold books
belonging of right to their constituents
and pocketed the money. Out with the
names.
We find the bove in the
Toledo Blade. We never before heard of
these books. What physicians got the
books that our member drew? Will Mr..
Wilson tell to whom he sent his share of
these books

Nearly one-half the mail matter which
we now receive, is taken past this place,
and comes back in few days, and per
haps much of it never gets here. On
Monday letter from Marietta, and one
from New York, came up from Ports
mouth. On Tuesday the New York
Daily Tribune, and several other papers
came up from Portsmouth. Postmaster
Martin informs US that the mail matter
for Sciotoville, Greenup, and various 9th
er points, comes to the Jackson Post
Office. There must be drunken, incom-
petent, or dishonest mail agents some
where on the trains We have no idea
where the trouble is. But some meas
ures of relief must be had, and that soon.
We will send this article to the Depart
ment, marked, and also marked copy
to Mr.. Bundy. our member of Congress,
and to Col. Harlan, of Cincinnati. We
demand that something bedone. and done

No more franking of public documents,
nor anything else. All right-let all
kinds of dead-heading be abolished and
the people will be the gainers.-AcC Con-
neLSviHe Herald.
The abolition of the franking privilege
was one of the most stupendous shams
that q set of thieves and demagogues ever
concocted. Instead of each officer sign
ing his name to insure the free passage
of mail matter through the mails, the
Government now goes to the expense of
of printing stamps to attach. Stamps
have already been issued to the amount
of nearly half million dollars. We re-
ceive the weather report and probabili-
ties every day, with stamp, issued for
the especial use of the War Department.

Representative Randall says he voted
for the back pay with his eyes wide open,
and that his object was to check Job
berry" in other words to hire Members of
Congress not to steal from the public
treasury; that is, by stealing it in this
way, they would not steal it in some
other way Well, if it has come to that,
the people would do we'll to look into the
matter little. Persons wanting to 90
to Congress, knowing that the salary was
$5,000 worried the people for their votes
as a dog would a flock of sheep, and then,
Yhen elected, demand that the people
shall hire them TO be hSnest If that is
not adding insult to injury, win the said

The McConnelsville Herald is about as
hard on Congressional thieves as we are.
1t starts an editorial thus:
1.-THE churches to which some of the
Congressional thieves belong should haul
them up and either compel them to re-
turn the money stolen by them from the
Government, or expel them. The inter
ests of the country and the cause of relig-
ion demand such action, for while such
members Rre retained without punish
ment, sinners point tG tbe church as har-

this misery and crime and perhaps he is
moving in the best society, courted and

Mr. Tripp, of Jackson, had not signed
the report of the committee recommend
ing the substitute. The original section
reported by the committee applied to the
protection of all workmen; the substitute
only refers to miners and mines, and this
seems to make an invidious distinction.
He wanted to protect miners, but he
wanted to protect other laborers also,
Still he did not see, so far as miners are
concerned. that there is any need of any
thing upon the subject. He thought that
the law upon the statute book (the act of
1922 is all that is really necessary, and
affords ampiest protection. Mr.. Tripp
then read from the act in question to
show that if the provisions are fully COM
piled with; the evils attendant upon min
ing would be relieved or done away with.
These provisions are as he believed, sat
isfactory to the miners themselves. In
the face of such legislation, why throw
INTO the Constitution section which can
only be sounding brass and tinkling
cymbal? He would vote against all such
superfuities in the organic law, and all
attempts to put therein mere sanitary or
police regulations. In the interests of
the miners themselves, he would protest
against such things
