lie sentiment by silencng in death the acts
and votes Of citizens of the United States
who presume touphold and vote for Rcpub-
lican principles as heretofore presented and
understood.
The new party next steps into pure Re
| publican waters and declares for the pro-
lection of equal rights of all classes; against
any discrimination on account of race
color, or condition; the selection of pure,
able and honest public officers, pledged to
an economical administration of the Gov

constitutional limits by State authority; no
disimnchiscment of any citizen on account
of a lack Of education or failure to pay
poll tax; the maintenance of q wise system
of free schools, and law providing for
compulsory education; to which, among
other things is q declaration in favor of the
Texas Pacific Railroad, and for building and
keeping in repair the levces Of the Missis-
sippi River.
We find nothing here entitled to serious
objection, while there is much of principle
TO applaud and sustain. 1t is judiciously
assorted political cargo, which, instead of
being attached to the locomotive of national
republcanism with the promise of a sue
ccsstul and profitable trip, is switched of
upon the administrators" side-track, and
will stand there, either to decay or be pill
lagcd by the enemy. Such an organization
cannot afford any satisfaction TO the admin
istratiOn, for the reason that the President
has no Use for another party than the one that
placed him in power. He certainly has no
personal ambitions to serve beyond the limit
of his present term of Office, for he has de-
clared to the country and the world that he
would not consent to accept and serve
during another. Being candid in this en-
phatic declaration Of purpose, the President
has no need of "a party other than the one
that has already covered him with the high
est honor in human government. In view
of all this we are led to suspect that the new
departure in Mississippi is an invention of
the enemy TO keep that State under pcrpet-
ual Democratic rule.

Indecent Assault.

The assault made by the Baltimore Ga
setts upon the committee of one hundred
citizens Of this District is unworthy a de-
cent gauge of journalism. To charge upon
them that they are incubating Job, which
may result in incurring n further debt to
the District and increased taxation" is =
gross libel upon a large class of the business
men and the most respected citizens OF
Washington. This movement, which is
characterized by the Gazette as "a scheme Of
the ring" is In the hands mainly of its
swn political friends, and we rejoice
70 witness their patriotic efforts in behalf OF
the best interests of the District They do
not seem to inquire as to the party predi-
lsctions of any engaged in the work, but
welcome the hearty cooperation of all
without regard to party distinctions They
are not led or Influenced by any ring"
They are stimulated by oommendable de-
Gire to relieve the people of the District and
secure its further improvement.
If the Gazette must keep a ch0onisr at
the National Capital, it should instruct him
70 pick up his rags with better Judgment
and dispose of them with better taste than
marks lis present efforts. His insolence
toward the best citizens of the District de.
serves severe reprchension.

Divided SOunciIs.

1t was not intended that the proceedings
of the meeting of Republican members of
Congress held at Secretary SuERMAN's resi-
dcn"c on Friday evening last, should go to
the public. 1t was n confidential gathering
of political friends to compare views relating
10 the situation, and no doubt I. morc free
interchange of views was INDUCED than
would have been if the gentlemen involved
had anticipated that there was to he II leak
in the vessel. What has reached public
notice indicates that there was not the
strictcst harmony of view and sentiment
on the part OF the twenty or so Republican
members of Congress who composed the
gathering.
As near as can be judged from what has
leaked out, no strong disposition was mani
tested to antagonize the Presidents South.
ern policy, rs it is regarded as q foregone
conclusion with which there is no use of
wrestling The indications are that if these
Representatives had been advised with OIL
| the subject before the President took action
not more than two or three would have
sanctioned the movement. But us it has
transpircd, and its consequences cannot be
avertcd by any action now taken, the ques-
tion is passed by as sort of family fdur
pas, which brings little beside mortifca-
tion in it's contemplation.
On thu subject of civil service reform
those present appear to have been more out
spoken. That question not only relates to
the past and present, but to the future
policy of the Administration, and hence,
with very few exceptions, the expressions
so far rs made were those of condemnation.
1t is evident that the present grief of Re
publican members of Congress is over the
civil service question, though Mr.. FRYE, of
Maine declared that there is really nothing in
the presidentscivil service reform. Mr.. CAN
NON, of illinois, stated that there is general
feeling among the Republicans of his State
that the President has not properly cared
for those to whom he owes his selection
Mr.. DUNNELI, of Minnesota, intimated that
the Republicans of his State are not cordial
toward the President. Mr.. CoNGER, OF
Michigan, expressed the opinion that at
least nine-tenths Of the Michigan Republi-
cans dissent totally from the Presidents
civil service order. Mr.. Cox, of Ohio, ap-
proves the Presidents policies with gushing
affection and without reserve, while MessS
FOSTER and GARFIELD were patient lis,
teners 10 the running commentaries of theil
fellow members. With them silence is gold
We do not see what good can come of this
interview and its uttemnces. The Presi.
dent and his peculiar supporters in his pres,
cnt attitude toward the party that elected
him have no doubt assumed the ground
now occupied by them with dclibcraton
How far they are toproceed in the direction

condolences can possibly ioresee. One thing

Indian Diplomacy.

The commission sent by this Government
to hunt up and interview the Sioux named
SITTING BULL at last advices had overtaken
his lndianship at Fort Walsh, in the British
possessions, and met him face to face. As q
diplomatist SITTING BULL is without policy
or circumlocution, and in phrase he is more
pungent than polite. He does not seem to
hold the commission which has Travelled so
far to pay him visit in high respect He
came into the audienco-roo with digni-
fed and stately tread, followed by his reti-
nue. of fugitive chiefs, and squatting upon n
Buffalo mat, took out his pipe filed it to
the brim, and entered upon sullen smoke,
preliminary to talk with his pusuers.
When he had enjoyed his silent smoke, in
stead of renewing to the commission the as
surances of his most distinguished consider
alton, he broke out in cultural tones, and
with genuine Chesterlieldian phrase, This
commission which has come to interview
me can go to the devil' or words to that
effect. The country is not yet informed as
to whether or not the commission followed
the bidding of his aboriginal exccllency.

Why skeDealIt

The anxiety Of many for thc repeal of the
resumption act of 1915 is almost unac-
eOuntuble. Instead of this if Congress will
remonctize silver coin by restoring it to the
same standard that it held in ls73, and by
making it II legal tender for the same
amounts for which it was u legal tender he
fore it was partially demonctizrd by the
act of 1873, there will be both sense and
justice in the action. Our currency is vir-
tually upon coin basis now. Gold even
commands but premium oftwO and three
quarters and the restoration of silver to its
proper place in the coin family would at
once neutralize this. When the volume OF
national bank currency reaches $500, ,OOO,-
0OO M the prospects are it will soon do,
that ofthc legal tenders will be but $780,
0OO,OOO. At least O00O, 900 of this will
be required IN the five per cent. redemption
fund in the U, s. Treasury, The remaining
$3.50, 100000 will be required to make up
the national bank reserves to secure dopos-
Lis. II will thus be seen that little or no

risk will be involved in the execution o.
the resumption act at the date fixed by law.
The resumption act does not require the
redemption of anything in coin but our
legal tenders, and the demand for them will
by that time be so great, simply to supply
the legal necessities of the banks, as to
make and keep them at par with coin.
These facts show that it would be the
shccrest folly to repeal the resumption act
now that it is just upon the eve of efrectinG
its original design If danger to commercial
affairs were threatened by its operation, such
danger is happily past. If injury has been
caused during our gradual approach to the
par of coin, no adequate remedy will be
found in the repeal of the act now that its
worst has been accomplished.

The Pulpit and the Press.

We have extracted somewhat literally
from late lecture of the Rev DE WITT
TALMADGE on the subject OF the press as q
public teacher of religion as well as of poll
tics and other tcmporalitics of life, for the
simple reason that We are insympathy with
his line Of thought. The pulpit is the most
direct accredited medium for religious
teaching, but it is limited when compared
with the press. The preacher discourses to
his flock of five thousand OF five hundred
who I'LL the pews OF his auditorium, while
the newspaper Of moderate circulation is
perused by thousands, and those in larger
spheres reach their hundreds of thousands
Of readers. The one sends forth two, or per-
haps three, discourscsa week, while the daily
paper goes out every morning or evening, to
be read ut the frcsdc, at the hotel, in the
place Of business, on the cars on the steamer
and for that matter, everywhere and in all
directions, wherever man, woman or child
soiOurn.
The public press is the great educator OF
the age, and its Influence is as broad as
civilization aud education. Those who
seldom, if ever, throw their shadow upon
the threshold Of the house of worship are
constant readers Of the secular press and il
gospel truth is good from the pulpit, les in
lection into the columns of the daily press
even in limited proportions, enlarges the
sphere of its influence upon the hearts
and consciences of mankind. We do not
fully agree with the sentiment of BUTLER
in "Hudibras," when he exclaims-
For truth is precious and divine
Too rich pearl for carnal swine"
We say let religious truth be the daily
spread for our intellectual support and en-,
jOyment, and in this way add to the moral
stature of all. The columns Ola newspaper
may be greatly enriched by sprinkling in
among its variety of subjects those which
have u tendency to make men moral, honest
and useful in the framework of society.
The public press, as the newspaper is
termed, is too often prOstituted to base pur
poses and made the medium of evil com
municatiOns to the mind of the reader Il
has lost largely Of the measure of publ,
respect due to it by its grovcling conduct
1t bears to the popular mind too much tina
Vitiates the moral taste, and the least il
can to do to avert evil under such circum
stances is to place the banc and the anti
dote side by side in it's columns. We re
gard the public press as the most potent
agent for good or i'll i'll framing public sen
iment now in existence, and the higher it,
tone and the purer the atmosphere il
breathcs upon the popular mind, the greater
and more ennobling it's influence will b,
upon the character and welfare of society.

CREMATION seems to be growing in favor
throughout the civilized world. In Europe
the Germans are seeming to be particularly
pleased with the method of disposing of
the dead. The Dresden Congress OF Crema-
tionists raised enough money to build model
crenlatorium al Gutha aud now 1t is stated
that the society at Zurich, Switzerland, has
four hundred members, and that the Holland
society is in good condition. In England the
clergy oppose the movement, but the scientific
men favor it. In this country there are seven
cremation societies and three furnaces. Before
1880 there will be u large furnace built in this
vicinity, in which the carcass of tile Demo
cratic party will be cremated, together with
the bodies Of numerous Presidential aspirants
