NUZZLES

The democratic majority in the House
perceives the necessity of wearing muz-
zle. Hence it appoints committee. whose
powers are said to be purely advisory, it
is true, but which is clearly expected to
exercise wholesome controlling inilu-
ence by its advice. To put the thing into
plain Saxon, this body is TO tell the House
what to do. The majority sees that it is
very likely TO do unwise things, and if it
did not know that fact before might have
discovered it from the result of Mr.. Woods
demonstration. Under these circum-
stances, prudent majority, which really
desires TO do as few foolish things as pos
sible, resorts to the only available rcme-
dy, creates committee with large advis-
ory powers, and thus gets muzziv for it.
self.
This course seems 10 us unwise. The
democratic majority probably understands
Its own temper very well, and knows its
own constituent elements. The inexperi-
ence of many members, the disposition of
some to urge extreme or vindietiye meas.
ures, and, above all, the general lack of a
settled policy anda well-defned purpose,
based upon strong convictions moving all
democratic members in common, render
it quite natural and proper that some ad.
yisory committee. composed Of expert.
enced and prudent men, should be chosen
to consult regarding all measures affect
ing the prospects of the party. The pub.
lie interest, no doubt, will be much safer
in the hands of such committee than a,

REMOVING THE MASK.

Since the session OF Congress began the
democrats have been casting aside the
mask which they have been accustomedto to
wear. In the organization of the House
they disclosed their kinship to the rebels.
On the first day Of the session they at
tempted TO break over the Wheeler COM
promise, which has given peace and pros
perity to Louisiana the last year, and in
troduce anew the old fight between kel-
logg and McEnery. Baflled in this they
have since taken measures in caucus TO
restrain all freedom of individual opinion
or action among the democratic members,
placing the control of their party in q
committee of eleven, with power to en-
force obedience to their wishes and COM
mands. Under this central directory the
most obnoxious measures will be driven
through the House.
One of the measures already introduced
is the repeal of the pension law which
prohibits the payment of pensions to
rebels They have also placed themselves
on record as in opposition to the appoint
ment of wounded Union soldiers to sub
ordinate positions which they are compe-
tent to fill. Nothing else could be ex-
pected than this after the elections in the
House organization. Rebels with claims
in their pockets are swarming in Wash
ington awaiting favorable opportunity
to present their demands. Others are
urging schemes to reeompease the South
for its losses by the rebellion. the de-
mands of the Confederates for Office. pat
ronage and plunder are absolutely as
founding, and the disposition in the Bour-
Dor democracy to aid them is equal to any
representations that have ever been made
upon that matter.
Although little business has been done
id the House thus far, the democrats have
introduced no less than eight bills to re-
peal the act for the resumption of specie
payments in 1879. On the question of the
currency, the most important subject that
will be before Congress this session, the
democrats have shown their hand in favor
of imitation. This hot haste to endorse the
rag money principles of the Ohio and
Pennsylvania democratic platform argues
that the hard money democrats are fee
BILE minority. This was shown when Mr..
Hale introduced his resolve declaring in
favor of sound currency. 1t was opposed
by the democracy, who referred 1t to a
committee, never to be heard OF again.
The public can see by the doings in
Congress thus far something of the real
character Of democracy. This however is
only the beginning of revelations.

Last summer Mr.. Pillsbury was greatly
exercised in his feelings because. as he
alleged, some postmaster put republican
circulars into few copies of the Maine
Standard that were received at his office.
He denounced it as great outrage-a
with the mails-and called up
OF the Post Oaiee Department 70 punish
the individual complained of. Mr.. Pills
bury seems to have changed his opinion
since that time about the. enormity of the
crime of tampering with the mails. If he
has not stolen letters from the mail, he
has received and appropriated a stolen let
ter of private and confidential character.
In the light of his denunciations of the
postmaster above mentioned, what pun
ishment is severe enough for the robber
who stole the Foster Blaine letter or the
editor who received it from the thief and
published ii in the columns of his news
paper? Readers of the Standard would
doubtless like to know.

A suggestion which comes from the
Centennial Commission is that 1.-The local
celebrations of the Fourth OF July, 1876,
which will be held throughout the land,
should be made to contribute to q perma-
nent historical memorial of the Centennial
Celebration In each county provision
should be made for the delivery of an ad-
dress tracing the history of that particular
community for the past century, or from
the time of its settlement, and including q
sketch of its growth, its resources. indus
tries, prospects etc. These addresses
should be published in a uniform slze,--
that of the Congressional documents, for
instance,--in order that they may be bound
together by States. To competent per-
sons the preparation of such addresses
would not be an unduly burdensome task :;
but in the aggregate they would consli-
tute an invaluable historical repository
such as no nation has ever had the oppor-
tunity to collect Designation of the his
torlans ought to be made without delay, in
