Ministers shonld not attend the Drama.
Christians should not ride out for pleas

attend to religion first, business second

must not relax any OF their strlctness. They
must not 60 into satan's camp for the pur

to establish a reservation near the old

THE HOUSE, after having frittered away
several days in perfecting a tax bill,
crowned its efforts yesterday by the pas
sage of a bill substantially the same as re-
ported originally by the Committee on
Ways and Means. The members having
placed themselves right on the record by
offering buncombe amendments for local
consumption finally consented to a bill
which may, with revival of business,
produce sufficient revenue to protect the
credit Of the nation. More pettifogging
with less ultimate effect has never been
recorded in the annals of legislation in this
country. 1t Is to be hoped that the Senate
may somewhat improve the House bill by
the addition of ten cents to the tax on
whisky and the restoration Of that on tea
and coffee recommended by the Secretary
of the Treasury. The people of the West
and South can expect no appropriations for
rivers and harbors and other internal i'm
proVements unless they are willing to be
taxed for such expenditures There is lit
tie use in asking Congress for large appro-
priations for such purposes and at the same
time protesting against every proposed pro.
ject for an increase of revenue.

THE Tusca loosa (Alabama) Blade, seek
ing notoriety and at the same time to please
the blood-thirsty taste of its readers, ap-
proves of Vice President Wilson's late
manifesto; but, installing its evident pur
port, remarks that he ''has declared against
'Grant's outrage, and we would like to
"see Wilson step into Grants shoes just as
johnson walked into Lincoln's. Oh, for
ga Brutus for this miserable travesty on
Caesar" No doubt, as we have init
mated, the readers of the Blade are pleased
with such blood-thirsty stuff as this; but if
the called-for Brutus should arise they
would find themselves as much mistaken in
Vice President Wilson as they were when
they fondly believed the teachings of SINH
lar journals in 1861, when Vice President
Hamlin was described as a ''mulatto."

THE WASHINGTON correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican is inclined to be hard
on Judge Poland. After characterizing
him rather roughly he relates portion OF
a conversation with "a certain Missouri
Congressman, in which the Judge is re-
ported to have said: "You will see the
"damnedest fight among us that has ever
"been witnessed in Congress, was his
emphatic assurance II and Phelps, and
ga lot more of them on that side, ~ he said,
care just waiting a good opportunity to
"scalp those fools" The correspondent
might have suggested that Judge Poland is
inclined to cultivate the favor of the indie
pendent Press, in the columns of which
not long ago he was soundly berated on
account of his so-called gag law" but if
this is his object he will find himself mis-
taken, and another opportunity to scalp a
real fool will be afforded.

THE New York Tribune is again anx-
ious about the harmony which it thinks
should exist in the Cabinet at would be
strange, " it says, eff Secretaries Bristow,
Jewell and Fish were to support the
Presidents policy in the face of such OPP
position within the party fold, and
"against all the dictates of justice, con-
sistency and sound craftsmanship. I"
This kind of twaddle is plainly intended
to influence some of the ablest and
" staunchest Republicans In or out of
Congress, as the Tribune calls them.
We can call by name the individuals to
whom it thus slludes, and we know that
none of them, unless they 'tmutter under
their breath, will pay any attention to
it. Secretaries Bristow, Jewell and Fish
are not of the number, and we believe we
are correct in saying "they support the
Presidents policy in the face" Of all op-
position from any source whatever.

examples of changes in constitutions in
New York and other States are put forth
as precedents to sanction or legalize the
Baxter Garland mode of revolutionizing a
State government
1t must be borne in mind that during all
the time these proceedings were going on,
Baxter had been ousted from the Cover
norship by the judgment of competent
court and had not, therefore, semblance
of authority, but was an acknowledged
usurper, exercising the functions of an
office to which he had no more title than
any other private citizen. After the reudi-
ton of that judgment, which he did not
appeal from, and which was then in full
force, he ceased to have any authority to do
any act as Governor, as Judge Poland and
his Democratic allies on the committee
also, in effect admit.
This is brief and imperfect statement
of case which the President has referred
to in his late message, and which he has
requested Congress to investigate and con-
slider. The more the case is investigated
the more startling and outrageous viii it
appear, and the action of the President be
annrOVed

THE CARD of the agent of the Associated
Press at Montgomery, Alabama, in answer
to Mr.. Albright's charge that he did not
call upon members of the Alabama COM
mittee for information during the progress
Of the investigation, is decidedly trsnspa-
rent. He says he did call upon Mr.. Co.
burn, but that gentleman "was busy and
did not even suggest to him to call again.
Really, this is refreshing A heightened
Southern gentleman, with tobacco Juice
streaked down over his shirt bosom, and
the hip pockets of his unmentionables worn
through by the weight of an unpaid.for
Derringer, declined to ''call again" because
the chairman of an important committee
did not invite him to do so, and 'fhen
sought other sources of information. &"
We have printed much Of the information
he might, have obtained from reliable Re-
publican witnesses before the committee !;
but it is probable that he found other and
more congenial sources of information"
in the public bar-rooms where he is, no
