Laughter on Both Sides.

The telegraphic account of Tues
days debate in Congress is spicy
reading, if not profitable. 1t turned
on the Belknap- Marsh case, and one
sentence in the dispatch quite con-
firms our opinion expressed yester-
day, that every move of the Democ-
racy is political one rather than
patriotic. To quote:
The debate continued amid great
excitement and frequent applause
and laughter on either side of the
House. Blaine was the figure on the
Republican side of the House at
which all shafts of eloquence were
launched from the Democratic side.
There you have it in nutshell.
Blaine has become specially promi-
nent as a Presidential candidate, be-
cause of his mastery strategy in
demoralizing the Lamar caucus, in
the debate wirh Hill, and the all
virtuous investigators, for a time,
will let no opportunity slip for har-
assing the coming man from Maine.
The gist of the debate exhibits the
animus of the dominant side of the
lower House completely. They do
not want fair, open and every way
manly investigation, but one that
will score the most points for "the
party" So far in this Belknap bust
ness, the Republicans have had the
best of the argument, and certainly
appear to better advantage before
the people. As beforesald, it will be
strange if the vaulting Democracy
do not o'erleap itself. The people
have more contempt for trickery
and quibbling, than downright dis
honesty.
