SPEAKER RANDALL rendered the
country a great service yesterday in
coming down from the Speakers chair
to the floor of the House and making a
telling speech in favor of economy in the
government expenses. 1t is high time
the Democratic members were assuming
high ground in this particular topic,
which has been allowed to lay dormant
too long. The Republicans are actuated
by mere mercenary sentiments or they
would have taken the inside track on this
question long ago. If the Democrats are
to hold the power in the House they have
got to give the people cheaper govern
ment. We can tell them that with an
emphasis that we are sure will not be
wrongly expressed or too soon made
known. The people are earnest and de-
termined on this question and will rid
themselves of the heavy taxes through
the influence of one party or the other.
This is the legitimate use Of party, and
Congressman must be made to under
stand it. The parties were not formed
to keep any class of people in life of
luxury at the public expense; and no in
telligent community will allow itself to
be divided and one part hurled against
the other in silly contest for such folly.
There is great want of character as well
as want of actual ability in our average
Congressman that must be got rid of.
1t is honorable to 60 to Congress and
represent an intelligent constituency
properly and with show of reasonable
ability. But it is an insult to intelligence
to .misrepresent, and want of decency
and honor for imbecility and ignorance
divested of all the gifts and graces betit-
ting the station, to want to impose itself
upon the people. The GAZETTE is almost
prepared to say on this question as il
said on the Silver question, thai its OWL
special interest was bar to its advocacy
of single gold standard. 1t will figh
for the rights of the people to a plain
simple and inexpensive government. Ii
fact this is what the contederacy is form
ed for. High salaries and ostentahou
living was foreign to the founders of tn,
government. Hence it was that a low
rate of salaries was adopted. The Diplo
matte Service never was expected to pa,
in money those who received the higl
and honorable appointments as Minister
to foreign courts. James Buchanan, S,
late as in 1924, only received 81 900
year as Minister to England. Edwar,
Everett received no more. Now Minis
ter to that court is paid $4,000; and til,
whole list has been raised by the Repub
lican party in the same ratio; while tn
character of the men sent abroad ha
deteriorated. Then there was honor il
such mission; but there is little in j
now; the money that it pays begets
class of seekers for place and profit, il
stead of cultivating patriotic sentimer
that is above all price.

IMPIETY WHERE PIETY Is WANTED
We wish to call the attention of the church
people and the ministry of all the churches
to the alarming strides intidelity is making
in the land.
There was time when such man as
Bob lngersoll would not dare to 90 volt
ing over the country in defiance of the
best, purest and most elevating sentiment
which the human understanding is capa.
BILE OF cuitiyating. The infidel, rreligious
sentiment does hot abound to the extent
gentlemen, in what they may conceive to
be high-life, imagine. Mr.. IngerSoll
meets many fellows of his ideas in Wash
ington where he towers as he supposes
as giant in intellect and is hale-fellow
well met with many. But he is the
scorn and contempt of the best people
the yirtuous head of every family would
spurn him from their household as a
moral leprosy. And we cannot conceive
of such man as Bob Ingersoll being
popular at the seat of government of a
nation like ours, SO unusually church
going and Misunderstanding. There is
something wrong somewhere or this
would not be the case.
The impiety of the men in Congress
or rather want of piety, is sufficient to
alarm any people. 1t is stigma upon
the church and church organization that
this is so. There is not single member
OF Congress that we know of who stands
out as a man of great moral and RELIGIONS
proclivities-such as did John C. Calhoun
and James X. Polk. Michael G. Kerr
was the last of this character that we
have heard of. 1t is lamentable truth
that the late Mr.. Lincoln, made sport of
the clergymen and not unrudely ridiculed
their advances; and Gen. Grant, appar-
entity made them his plant tools. This
was the case notwithstanding the pres
ence In their midst of such a powerful
religious advocate as DIR. Newton for in
tellect, brilliancy of thought and power
of utterance, head and shoulders taller
to use an ordinary expression, than nine.
teen twentietbs of all the members n,
Congress. In the moral tone of he,
representation we believe Delaware
ranks tirst at the Capitol. But even here
there is doubtless room for Improvement
