A PECULIAR KIND OF DEMOCRACY.

Speaker Kerr, having no bowels
of eompassion, has forbidden the sale
o~f,anything stronger than ale in the
Cspitol~rcstaurant, and-in order to
get a square drink the members have
to go outeven in the worst of weather.
This is certainly cruelty TO animals,
and in antagonism to the time old
principles of Democracy. No Won
der that the Democratic majority
insthe, House has made a botch of
everything they have attempted to
do this winter.
The managers of the Centennial
Exhibition have more correct ideas
on this subject. They permit no
standing pnrs.99 Every man or
woman who wants to drink there has
to sit down like a gentleman or lady.
The object of this rule is to promote
temperance, as it is well understood
that there is not so much danger of
repeating" where a party is com
fortably seated, as if they were
forced to stand uprand. drink. The
Speaker might follow this example
and thus satisfy the Democratic mem
bers of the House and indirectly i'm
prove legislation. BY all means,
give tho members ar comfortable seat
while taking refreshments, and all
will be well.
