A Contrast.

+ Notwithstand the clear and cogent
arguments of the counsel who advoca.
ted the claim Of Cronin and associates
as the lawful electors in Oregon, and
the temptation Of the minority of the
Commission to initiate the partisan
ship OF the majority as shown through
out the contest, seven men had the
courage and moral power to cast a
vote which, if reversed, would have
resulted in the inauguration Of Tilden.
The immortal seven whose names will
go down in history with honor are
l}ayard, Clifford. Field, Abbott, Hun
ton, Pay. and Thurman. The coun.
try caUnlt 4,il to see in their action
spirit Of disinterested patriotism and
devotion TO principle which is in
strongest contrast with the course OF
their colleagues. These seven, through
out the trying ordeal now ended, have
borne themselves nobly, and they
alone are entitled to wear the crown
which Senator Edmunds in advocating
the adoption Of the Electoral Com
mission presented as common in

There is no use in grumbling,
But the honest acceptance of a great
wrong, because revoluti on alone could
right it, by no means implies forget
tulness. Neither does it forbid the
incubation of the terribly solemn les
son taught by the preparation of such
iniquity. The people are ready to
make the best of it. They see that
the party of honesty and truth still
holds the purse strings Of the nation
and can forbid a return to the ruinous
practices of the past eight years and
now that the danger of an armed con-
test between the people and a reckless
faction is past, they will turn with
new zeal to the work of compelling
prosperity.

A Question.

The question is often asked, docs
the world grow wiser and better rs il
grows older ?" Judging from the
United States alone we should be
rather inclined to answer the inquiry
in the negative. When the Govern.
ment and people Of n nation like our:
seem to retrogradc--to 90 backward
in everything that should ''connt" for
their happiness, morality, and future
prosperity-asi is the case with the
United States at present, we can safe
ly answer the question in the mega
tive. Our beloved country has ob
tanned this stutus under, and through
the sham Republican party.

The Forty fourth Congress tx.
PRED Sunday with a better ard keener
record than has been made by its pre-.
decesSors for many years, 1T may be
said with pride that no job has re-
ceIved the countenance of this Con-
gress; and that, while guarding its
own Legislation and sweeping out the
corruptions OF the Departments, it has
instituted practical economies which
have lightened the burdens Of the peo-
pie by many millions, In this work
it has been obstructed by an opposi
ton Senate and by an Executive COM
mtted to the policy Of wasteiul ex-
travagarcc. Under these circumstan-
ces it is wonderful that any retrench--
mcnt has been accomplished but
while the full measure of its purpose
could not be realized in the face of
sucn opposition, so much has been
done that the country is grateful and
proud. The Inauguration in practice
of the Democratic principle of honesty
and economy in running the Govern
ment is enough of success for any one
Congress and this, together with the
entire absence of jobbery, subsidy and
other Legislation for personal profit,
may be put to the credit of the Forty.
