The LIBERALS AND THE PoPR.-The Pal
Mall Gazette remarks that a fresh attack on the
last relic Of the Pope's temporal possessions
seems to be seriously threatened. The liberals
at Rome are making use of Pho Nono's obstinate
rejection of all proposals for accommo dation TO
urge that the late separation of the temporal
and spiritual kingdoms should be carried out
logically and completely, and that the church
buildings of ihe city, the monuments of all kinds,
and, above all, the Vatican library and galleries
should be taken over by the state; since TO this
as the present temporal power in Rome they
observed, was not only adopted by Napoleon 4.
in his original conquest of Italy made when he
was General Bonaparte, but was practically
acquiesced in by the then Pope, who accepted
as one of the conditions of peace after the defeat
of his troops that imposed on him of sending a
number of the most valuable of the Vatican
MSS. to Paris, without any attempt to attach
plainly regarding them as temporal property.

GROWTH OF EXTRAVAGANCE,

II there were no other facts upon
which to arraign the Republican party
for its unparalleled extravaganza, than
those found in the blue book, the ver-
dict by an impartial jury would GER
tanly be that of guilty. The people
generally do not realize how mon
strously the army Of ofiice-holders, those
quadriennial locusts send out to char
rass our people and eat out their SUBJ
stance" has increased. The official
register, containing the names of this
army of civil officers, is not designed
for general circulation. 1t is only pub
lished for the convenience of the ms,
and the outs have but limited oppor-
tunity for forming correct estimate of
the number of supernumeraries retained
at the peoples cost in every branch of
the public service. This register shows
that the number of Office holdess was in
1868, q little less than E1eH1Y-sEvEN
THOUSAND MEN! 10 show how this army
has grown, under Republican dollhouse
culture, we copy the totals from the
biennial register:

AppRoPR1ATE.-It must be acknowr-
edged that the Republicans do pay
some little regard to the fitness Of
things. For instance, Jacobs is an i'm
ported official. He is nominated by
imported office-holders at the instance
Of an imported railroad company, and
they import On editor to blow for him.
Besides this, the master of imports, the
Portland Collector Of Customs, cooked
the repast now spread before the people,
and attended the conventional Vancou-
yer to see that it was properly sea-
soned.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1874-10-17

The increase from 1869, when Grant
was first inaugurated, and with promises
of retrenchment all tile while, is 3d.
453! And from 1859, under the ex-
travagent' administration of Mr.. Buch-
anon, the increase is As, 1873, or 4, 6O6
more than double those under pay during
that " corrupt and profigate" admins
tration. Is it any wonder that taxes
are high and the people overburdened?
And the increase of burdens has not
stopped, as the official figures which
we have published show. The appro-
priations for the years 1874 and rs are
thirty millions greater than for 1872
and '73. The party which has done
this asks to have its action sanctioned
by the people, and to be voted another
lease of power! And our Federal office
holders, as in duty bound, say amen to
the edict.

Too Coop TO BE LosT.-A few days
ago, Messrs. McMicken and Hayden
were sent to Lewis county as Republl-
can delegates, to Joint Convention
with that county to nominate Council
man. The first man McMicken met,
after leaving the train, was Mr.. Water
bury, stanch Democrat, to whom Nc
Micken at once made known his bu ST.
ness. WE'LL" says Mr.. Waterbury
"I'm delegate for Lewis county, and
here comes Mr.. Miles, who is likewise a
delegate; we can very soon fix up the
matter" So the quartette at once COM
menced discussing the prospects of the
campaign, in the course of which our
Democratic friends sscertained that ia
coh's chances were rather slim and
many other items of general informa-
ton calculated to cheer the patriotic
heart. "But to business" remarked
Capt. McMicken, "how would Capt
Blinn suit for Councilman els he
a Democrat?" queried Mr.. Miles, while
merry twinkle danced in his eyes.
"a Democrat" exclaimed both the
Thulston county delegates, /" of course
he amt. What do you mean ?" "Sim-
ply this, remarked Waterbury, we are
the Democratic delegates to select a
Joint Councilman, and our county has
instructed for Mr.. Gosnell. Good day,
gentleman. And the Lewis county
delegates walked off chuckling at the
ease with which Republican officials
can be made to relate their political ex-
periences.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1874-10-17

A STRANGE CoINcIDENCE.-Mr.G Greeley,
in his American Conflict recounts how
Col. Solomon, amid the utmost con-
fusion, fed with his regiment from the
field of battle, but this, CIR Salor,o;,
the Ex-Governor, says was anot.! Ter man.
and not himself. After tbc last election
our Solomon never los. an oppovtunitv
OF boasting of the number of letters be
wrote and OF tie miracles he performed
for the Democratic cause. But, of
course, this was not the same Salo-
MOI who, as Chairman of the Com
mittee on Resolutions in the Office
holders Convention, reported the reso-
luton: That we are in full harmony
and sympathy with the great Republi-
can party of the Nation" It will be
conceded in this connection that there
is nothing like military tactics; nothing
like having the record right if the facts
are wrong. To show how completely
the Convention was managed by the
office-holders, it is only necessary to
refer to the published proceedings,
from which it will be seen that the Con-
vention was not permitted to express an
opinion on the resolutions. The out
side delegates were instructed in Port
land to keep quiet. with open mouths
like young robins, and shout "Yaw-
cups" when the officials gave the sig
nal.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION AND
ITS NOMINEE,

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION AND
ITS NOMINEE.
The Bread-and-butter Brigade, assem-
bled In Convention, with official pomp
and dignity, announce to the world a
a platform of principles as inconsistent
in itself as the subsequent action of the
Convention is inconsistent with the
principles it announces. In the first
resolution they declare that they "are
proud of the past record of the party"
and in the second that they " are desir-
GUS of political reform and honesty,
economy and purity in the administra-
ton of public affairs" Reform implies
the commission of crime. As we cannot
reform an honest and pure man, so too
we cannot reform an honest and pure
political party. They desire politi-
cal reform and honesty, economy and
purity" If they already possess these
virtues, fheir resolution is meaningless.
That which an individual already has is
not so much an object of desire as some
thing he does not possess. So with q
party. When it desires political re-
form and honesty, economy and puri-
ty," it tacitly acknowledges that it is
corrupt; that honesty and purity are
not among its cardinal virtues. They
acknowledge, therefore, that their party
is destitute of "honesty, economy and
purity" and yet they are "proud of its
record"
What an anomaly is presented in this
avowal of political faith! Desiring po-
litical reform, honesty and purity in all
administrations of public matters, the
so-called Republican party dominates a
candidate for Delegate to Congress who
for years has prostituted his high judi
cial position to advance the groveling
ambition of his political desires; who
for years has used his judicial ermine to
mop up every filthy political pool in the
Territory; who never held a term of
court at which the members of the bar
were not made to blush with shame.
by insults from the bench, uttered to
please vulgar prejudice and to advance
the judicial hankering" for political
preferment; who has sacrificed the in
terests of suitors and SO prejudice their
causes before trial, by utterances be-
meath the dignity of gentleman, that
counsel have been obliged to withdraw
their suits; who has no appreciation of
the difference in the value Of human life
and the price of a horse; who sentenced
the murderer and the horse-thief to q
like term of Imprisonment, and who
only changed the sentence of the latter
when outraged Justice, through public
opinion, expressed her adherence of the
act; who has, in his official capacity,
certified to the correctness Of cost bills
paid out of the public treasury, which
he knew to be fraudulent, as q reward
forparty services; and who has wallowed
in the filthy pool" until his very flesh
is corrupt.
Still the party which dominates him
has the audacity to claim that it is in
favor of political reform, honesty, puri-
ty and economy. Can such assurance
find parallel in the history of any 9TH
err political organization?
