The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1875-12-31
Let the Democratic House Act.

In the last House OF Representatives
the Republican majority was one hun
dred and ten. In the present House the
Democratic majority Is about seventy.
This Is the greatest political change
from one Congress to the next that ever
took place since the adoption OF the
constitution. The revolution which
caused it was universally regarded as
foreshadowng the end .of Grantism,
unless the Democratic party, and es-
pecially its majority in the House,
should fail to fulfill its pledges In re-
gard to economy, rctrenchment, integ-
rity i'm office, and thorough exposure
Of the corruptions and iniquities OF
Grants administration.
Ten DAYS hence, when Congress reas-
sembles, a month will have passed since
the House elected its officers. In the
mean time the business 1t has done will
be limited to the announcement Of its
standing committees, drawing ten
months pay, and going on a junketing
tour to Philadelphia preparatory TO
getting into "a jolly frame OF stomach
and brain suitable. for depicting the
Treasury without right or authority. In
these particulars, and in the adjourn
ment OF about two weeks to eat their
Christmas dinners, we do not severely
falling into practices that grew up under
their Republican predecessors. But Is
tnot probable that many OF those voters
who held the balance ofpOwer in 1874 and
turned the scale i'm favor OF the Demo
Gratis, may view such things with serious
disfavor? .u
When the House meets in January,
the Democratic majority cannot enter
upon the serious work OF the ses-
sion one moment too soon. They
were elected fourteen months ago
on clearly defined issues, and
they certainly ought to have ascertained
by this time what they are going to do,
and how they are going to do 1t. 1t Is
already evident that the Republicans in
this Congress intend to play an aggres,,
sive role. Morton, in the Senate, instead
OF defending the policy OF the Admins
tration in Louisiana, makes an assault
upon the recent Democratic victory in
Mississippi. Blaine, in the House, in
stead OF bothering his head over in
consequential legislation about a return
to specie payment, introduces q pro-
posed amendment TO the Constitution
which raises the Anti Catholic issue.
The Democrats should understand
that the Republicans have been from
the start the most bold and aggressive
party In our history. The Democrats
should learn wisdom from their oppo-
nents. Timidity, evasion and procras-
tination will not win in a hand to-hand
conflict with adversaries SO willy and
desperate, so thoroughly disciplined,
and with such vast resources at CON-
mand as the Republicans N 4. Sun.

ENGLAND AND THE sUEz CANAL.

England's purchase OF nearly a hall
interest In tho Suez Canal has, VIC be.
lieve, been universally considered by
rope as u mastery piece OF diplomacy.
II has even been repeatedly asserted
that the purchaser Of one hundred and
| sovonty-six thousand out OF the four hun.
dred thousand shares composing the
capital stock Of the company would,
,pso .fact0, establish protectorate
over Egypt, with all the advantages OF
sovereignty, andnone Of its drawbacks.
What rights superior to those OF ordi-
nary stockholders shareholding pow
or may have, we arc ut u loss to under
stand, but to us IL does seem that Eng
lands daring cvinccd In thus reopening
the Eastern question, with It's possibili-
ties OF a European war, has caused the
press to lose sight OF all but the bright
side Of the question.
Egypt, us is well known, Is u depend
ency Of Turkey, itself placed under the
professionals Of the great powers of
Europe. No material change In Its
status can be accomplished without the
consent OF Turkey and OF the aforemen-
toned great powers, among which Rus
sia, England's great rival In the East, oc-
cupies no mean rank. Whatever may
be England's anxiety to secure her pur-
chase by throwing up Notifications at or
near the canal, she can never accom-
plish her purpose without the consent Of
the great powers, and Russia, for one,
certainly will not consent to a
Strengthening OF the already for
midable power OF England in the
East, and any attempt on her
part to violate treaty obligations, under
whatever prctexts, would result In an
immediate war with Russia, and the
occupation Of Port Said by Russian
troops, long before England transports
could even enter the Mediterranean
thus settling for the time being one of
the most important diplomatic ques-
tions Of the present day. 10 recover her
lost position and secure once more her
communications with India, England
would have to make the most stupendous
efforts, sparing neither treasure nor
blood, and should victory finally crown
her efforts, she would owe her success
not to her ownership Of more or less
stock in the canal, but to her military
strength. Commercially we believe the
purchase to have been a wise one; po-
litically its Importance is entirely Sc
condary and subordinated to England's
power to guard and maintain it. Yet
far-seeing statesmen are so well aware
OF this fact that, not satisfied with the
strongholds at Gibraltar and Malta,
giving them control Of the Mediterra-
mean, and Perino OF the Red Sea, they
now quietly contemplate the purchase
OF Lemnos to secure the entrance OF the
Dardanelles, thus establishing military
posts all along the road to India. l1
The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1875-12-31

There will be an urgent application
for Congressional assistance to the Cen
tcnnial Exposition, and We incline to
think that, on the whole, 1t ought TO be
granted. We are well aware that in the
original act giving IL national counte-
nance 1t was expressly stipulated that
it should occasion no expense to the ma
tional Treasury. This was wise ut the
time, for the country was then in state
Of great apparent prosperity, and had
that buoyancy continued there can be no
doubt that the voluntary contribu-
tions OF citizens, the State pride and
city pride OF Pennsylvania and
Philadelphia, and appropriations by
the Legislatures Of other States,
would have carried the enterprise
through without pccuniary aid from
set In in 1873, and the stagnation and
discouragement which have since pre-
vailed, have altered the situation and
dried up resources that might otherwise
have proved abundant. The Govern
ment has meanwhile committed itself
to the Exposition by official invitation
to foreign nations and by changes in
the revenue laws to facilitate the intro
duction OF foreign articles for exhibition.
1t is very awkward thing to invite
guests to u shabby entertainment, and as
difficult to see any creditable way out
Of the modification except by Govern
ment assistance. We should be ashamed
OF our Government il, on any adequate
occasion, it failed to protect the national
honor and dignity The constitutional
power Of Congress to make such an ap-
preparation may be defended on several
grounds. In the first place, all matters
connected with our foreign relations
and intercourse belong to the Federal
Government. II the Centennial EXPOSE
not an International affair, the
credit and dignity OF the national
Government Would not have been in
volved. But the Government has
indorsed it as an international exposi-
ton, and it may as legitimately apprO-
pirate money to make it crcditable as
to furnish our naval commanders with
the means OF giving entertainments on
board their vessels in foreign ports. In
the next place the Constitution express
ly authorizes Congress to promote sci
Exposition will contribute more to that
end than any patent right ever granted
to an inventor, patents being permits
sion to tax the people by a monopoly
Of useful inventions. In the third place
an appropriation to the Centennial
would not be dangerous as "a pre-
cedent, since the occasion can recur
only once in hundred years. We are
aware that there are two sides to this
question, but it seems to us that the
people would prefera slight tax for so
faudable an object to the national NOR
titication which would attend failure,
With our population Of forty millions,
the appropriation of u million and a
half, which Is asked for, would be only
thirty-seven and a half cents a head,
and we are sure our people would pre-
fer to pay this small tax rather than
have the Centennial faiL Ne.c Fork
