The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1875-11-18

The Jozrnal and other city papers are at;
toggerheads about the allowances made Mr..
Robert Remington and Mr.. Patrick Cur
ran, for services in the street COMMITS
sioner's depsrtment. For long time some
of them have fought Mar. Remington
"foul"-never neglecting to get Ia lick
under the belt, when TO do so was possible.
When he was q member of the Council
their criticisms on his public life amounted
to persecution. They never gave him credit
for anything he did, but found fault with
all his acts and criticised them numerically.
They went far to accuse him of job
bing, TO ridicule him, and dubbed bin "The
O'Kennipgton." On the other hand, some
of them have ever had a Partially for Mr..
Curran, son of'the Curran whom the Jour-
nal belittles. They have spoken of the
councilman from the Eighth Ward as "the
honest Curran'-"the independent Curran,"
etc Hence the allowance OF S31 so per
week to Mr.. Remington is terrible thing,
and If persisted In, will bankrupt the city
and cause her effects to go into the hands of
an assignee, whereas the SO paid Mr..
Currsn is proper thing to do, as It is the
regular pay Tor persons doing the work
he performs. On the other hand, the
journal thinks Mr.. Remington has more
work to do, and assumes a greater RESPONSE
bility than Mr.. Currsn, and, although II
disclsims any intention to defend Mr.. Ken
nington from the assaults, it lie evident that
It considers them uudeserved. Now, Il Is
apparent to all unprejudiced persons that
these papers are making quite muss about
a very small matter. Both Mr.. Remington
and Mr.. C0rrsn are in the employment of
the city, and should be paid for their SER
vices. It Is not charged that they are re-
miss in performing their duties, or are paid
more for their labor than Is received
by others for similar services. Because the
one is the father of councilman
and the other an ex-member of that
body, is no good reason why they should
not be employed by the city If Commits
sioner Mattler so desires.
II the Journal is ambitious to do the pub
lie a service, let 1t unearth and ventilate
some of the rascslities that lie covered up
in the archives of the city government.
Let it tell the people why the bondsmen OF
a defaulting Republican official have not
made good their undertakings. When they
do this they can, with some grace, comment
on the allowances made Mr.. bennington
and Mr.. 0urran for services performed for
the city under the direction of her proper
officer.

Went TO party ends and aims, when gallant
and efficient generals were hindered in their
marches to victory, because their success
would add no glory and furnish no candi-
date to the Republican party; then there
was season when bankruptcy stared the
nation in the face. and ever since the extrava-
gance, corruption, frsud, subsidy schemes
jobs and rascslities OF the Republican party
have kept the nation on the ragged edge of
involuntary Reputation. The talk about
Democrats leaving the government in a
bankrupt condition Is the msrest imperti-
mont impudence, and the Journal knows it.
Sixty millions Of dollars per year was all
that was needed by tho government to carry
on its expenses, and everything was paid
out In gold, when the Democracy ruled
the nation Now the people pay
thrice that amount, besides the interest
upon the war debt. They had no jobs then
incubating In the lobby OF the capitol Wall
street had no telegraph lines entering the
White House, and names like Bsbcock and
Corbin had no admittance near the throne,
There we're then no gift-taking presidents.
no Credit Mobiliers, no bribing of congress-
men, nor csdetship-selling representatives
Why does not the journal wish for a return
of those days of purity and pescef For ev-
cry unwise and foolish vote In congress I'M
der Democratic rule, an hundred criminal
ores can be pointed out now as the legiti-
mate result of Republican sway For one
defsloating official then, an hundred can now
be named. What cabinet officer was dismissed
for dishonesty before Csmeron's exit from the
frat Republican cabinet. What attorney
general under Democratic administration
ever charged to the government his private
expensesi What postmsster-general ever
retired for conniving at fraudulent claims
before the withdrawal of Creswell7 What
secretary Of the interior was suspected OF
taking tithes OF the rstions of Indians in the
good old days? Go to, Journal. The Sem
tinel invites a comparison OF the true empti-
ness of the treasury then and now, of the
danger OF bankruptcy then and now, and OF
the general odor of honesty that lin
gered In the capital during the
last wears of Mr.. Buchansn's term
with the congress that Republicans so like
to abuse, with the faint of corruption that
has marked almost every congress since,
and 1t will be like the ottor of roses and the
stencil OF a dung-hill.

Vice President Wilson was in great peril
yesterday, having been suddenly stricken
down with disease while in the capt.
toll building. His critical condition
seems to have been brought on
by overwork, both mental and
physical. The physicians have hopes of his
recovery but he evidently has but a frsil
tenure OF life as his spine is effected and he
is now at an advanced age and his system is
hardly strong enough to rally from so severe
a,ahock as IL has suffered.

Bankrupting the Government.

The Indianapolis Journal has the reckless
effrontery to say that when the Democratic
party went out of power 1t left the treasury
empty and the nation bankrupt. What
confidence can be placed in the utterances
OF that paper when such glazing and bare
faced misrepresentation insult the intel
ligence OF It's readers. 1t is implied In the
Journals declaration that 1t was the policy
OF the government to have a full treasury
In ordinary circumstances, and that the
Democratic party had depleted it. II the
Journal was intelligent In the history Of
the country 1t would know, as it's intelli
gent readers must know, that the policy
OF keeping large surplus in the
treasury has ever been disspproved by our
best and wisest statesmen as inviting ex-
travagant appropriations and unnecessary
internal improvements. When, by excess
siye custom tax, IL was found that a surplus
was being accumulated. 1t was distributed
among the states. 1t was found that it was
infinitely better to provide for the incon.
venience OF deficiencies that might possibly
occur, than to have the temptation OF large
pile, to excite expenditures that were we'll
known TO be pernicious and hurtful to the
nations prosperity. The representatives in
congress could not well resist the impor-
tunities OF lobbyist when asked, for what
purpose this money was kept To avoid this,
and all other kinds of extravaganza,
1t became the settled policy OF
the government to levy only such tax as
would meet theexpenses of the government,
and keep the treasury clear of surplus.
AS a matter OF course, with a growing SEN
timent In the country against high custom
duties. and the pursuance Of the policy
above indicated. there was no surplus In
the treasury when the Democratic party
went ont of power.
But did this emptiness make the nation
bankrupt Did anybody refuse treasury
note? Would anybody take ninety-nine
cents on the dollar of good government

eminent always paidf What is bankruptcy

10 pay. This was never the condition of
things until the Republican party came into
power. When the country was plunged
into civil war by the aggressions of North
ern fanaticism and the resistance Of South
srn folly, and there was need of money to
carry on the war for the suppression OF the
rebellion of the Southern states, the credit of
the government was good, and no officially
was encountered as long as a legitimate
prosecution OF the war was pursued. Bat
when IL was sought to make the misfortune
Of internal strife a means of clarifying pc.
