Republican Policy.

May not the Republican par Y
now take q step forward? Herrta-
lore two very important measures
have been opposed by certain r :
publican newspapers and by a re-
spectacle minority OF Ropubl can
congressman. Now that these, one
of them by both houses and the 9th
err by the popular branch of the ma
tional Legislature, have been decided
wise and prudent reforms, may we
not look to see them fairly adopted
by the party and All issue made upon
them 10 the coming election 2 We
do not hesitate to say that on The
questions of Congressional regulation
of railways, free banking, and in :
creased currency, The Republics
party can sweep the entire West
and South with even more than it's
old-time majorities And although
the fight against these measures has
been waged to some extent by R :
publicans, yet the bitter opposition
has come from Democratic leaders,
and each of these proposed reforms
may fairly be attributed to the r :
publican party. Acknowledging, ac-
cording to the time-honored custom
of the party, that the majority
should have the right to determine
the policy of the organization, we
we have no doubt that those who
have deemed certain of these meas
ures unwise, viii now do their beat
to see them carried out 10 good faith,
trusting that the action of the ma.
iority will pre- We to have been wise
and Tor the best interests Of the peo-
pie.
The policy of the party on the cur
rency question is already determined,
so far as Congress is concerned
That regarding the railways is set
tied, so far as the House can settle it,
not policy to be put in practical
operation to the benefit of the pro-
Queer. Any move looking towards
this kind Of legislation, is left to take
care of itself, or receive the support
of Republican members. = Beaver

The debate in Congress on the
MoCRARY bill for regulating rail-
ways and prohibiting extravagant
charges by common carrier corpora
tions was partisan and acrimonious.
Most of the Republicans declired
that the general government had the
power, and it was it's duty, TO pre-
vent interstate railway lines from
charging exorbitant rates. The
Democrats generally commended
against this right to curb monopo-
lies, just as they opposed interfer-
ence with that greatest of all mo-
nopolies, human slavery. They ir-
sisted that il would be a violation OF
State rights. if the general govern
] ment Ct mpelled transportation com
panies. passing from one State to
anoi her. to take freight st reasona-
BILE rates.
Il is a continuation of the old
fight The Republicans believe this

the peol IL. and for The people," and
that among other reasons for adop-
ting the constitution were the potent
ones-to establish justice and pro
mote the genela al welfare. If any
party uses The constitution TO shield
corporations 10 acts of Injustice, and
allow them to irjure the public by
oppressive charges, it violates the
fundamental principles on which the
constitution rests. But the Demo-
Gratis were We'll scho, I'D on the State
sovereignty question before the war,
and they have bot forgotten the les

the great moneyed interest agaidst

A Good Law.

The legislature passed one act, at
least, at its late session, which entities
it to be called reform legislature, and
that relates to insurance. 1t is as
follows:
Section |. That in al cases where
any individual or insurance company
or companies, authorized by laws of
this state to take risks and issue poll
cies Of insurance against fires, and
ransact the business of insurance in
this state, whether Incorporated by
,bls or any other state, shall insure or
issue a policy of insurance against loss
by fire, upon the real property OF any
individual or incorporation in thH
state, and the prowerty so lnsur d be
wholly destroy d, without criminal
fault on the part of the insured, the
amount of insurance written IN SAID
policy or policies shall be taken and
dermed the true value of the pre- perty
at the time of such loss, and the
amount of the loss sustained by the
individual or corporation in whose
favor the said policy was issued, end
such amount shall be taken and
deemed the measure of damages.
Agents will be little more care
full in the future about what amoont
they write in insurance policies, fol
there will be no going back on it and
refusing to pay the full amount of the
policy because it was more han the
real value of the property.

The Legal Tender Increase.

There is an apparent popular mis-
apprehension or want of understand
ing of the action of Congress on the
currency, and it would be well to
briefly explain the situation of the
al absorbing topic. Under pressure
of the financial difficulties of the re-
belIion Congress issued s4OO 100000
OF legal tenders commonly known
as greenbacks). At the close OF the
war the then Secretary OF the Treas
ury, Mr.. Mccullough, contracted this
issue in the sum OF $44 600, 900. ME
policy being the restoration of specie
payments by Withdrawing the paper
issues of the government. Owing 10
popuIar disapproval of the POLICY
of contraction Congress ordered the
Secretary to cease contracting. and
declaring 1856 100000 to be the max
imum amount of legal tender. Inc
ga, O0O.o 900 Withdrawn we're not des-
troyed, but remained in the vaults OF
the Treasury at Washington. II ls
this sum which the Congress has
voted to restore to circulation.

How TO LESSEN DRUNKENNESS. The
Congressional Committee on Ways
and Means has agreed. it is reported.
TO modify the duty op still wine,
making it fifty cents gallon in cask
and two dollars O case when bottled.
An exchange remarks that it would
be we'll if the committee were TO go
further and bring the duty down on
all cheap pure wine to the lowest
roint possible, so that the mass OF
the people might be induced to use
this beverage, as the people of France
do, in preference to strong, intoxica-
ting liquors. Such measure would
go far to cure much of the drunken
ness we see and to promote the health
of the people.

The prospects of the Narrow
