THE woRKISGMAN's DUTY.

During the recent meetings held at the
east front of the Capitol ostensibly by the
workingmen, several demagogues have
thrust themselves upon the occasions and
INDUCED in remarks that bOde no good to
the worker, to society, or to the country.
No friend to American institutions and
laws, which are based upon the popular
judgment and will, ever plays upon the pas
sionS, preiudices, or necessities of the peo-
pie by Incorporate appeals that lead to
discomfort aud consequent disorder. We
all know that the times are hard, for their
stringency is felt by every branch of busi-
ness, industry, or traffic. There is no dis
guising this fact, and there are, no doubt,
instances in which suffering is great and
absolute distress is inlminent-even to q
want for bread. This, in most cases, is the
result OF inability to secure labor and its re-
wards, which, with the industrious and
well-inclined, is n severe hardship in q
country whose goyernm ent is Of the people,
for the people, and by the people There
are those who have been brought to poverty
and dcstitution by habits that do not conf
port with the welfare OF society, but our
Isympathics cannot be entirely withheld
from such, even in their extremity, for they
must not be permitted to starve in land
of plenty for the want of bread.
While the sympathies of every philan-
thropic citizen of the District Of Columbia
are awakened over the existing condition
of things, and while the claims for relief
are urgent, and it is duty to listen to and
answer them as far as possible, there is but
one way in which this can be done by q
law-abiding people. The difficulties must
he confronted by spirit OF patience, for,
bearance, and reason, which will seek out
causes and apply remedies in peaceful
and ctlicien; way. The evil passions Of ouI
natures must not in such crisis MS the
present, be stirred to action by the in.
tempemte appeals of the demagogue, who
mas his own selfish ends, to answer in any
effort or show he may make of his devotion
to the cause Of the worker and his desire to
better his condition. The moment that
such persons counsel TO outlawry in any
degree to overcome impending evils the
labOring man should mark him as al

TIE New York Herdh scolds Congress
again, this time for the boisterous and dis
orderly character of its nj Sht sessions. This
Is all right hut then the HC,did goes on TO
say that the British Parliament is u model
worthy of imitation. Parliament" 1t says,
is never dis1rdcrly, although it tmnS,cts
" the greater part %! its business in the night
time" Beautiful thought! But II il not
true. The british House Of Commons is
notorious, on occasion, for its bOistcrous in
decorum. Not only that, but 1t is nOto-
riously composed in part Of men who buy
their way by the purchase Of votes into
their seats, and whose attention to public
business is consequently u matter OF per-
son.l interest 1t is the habit Of n certain
class of writers aud wOuld-be leaders OF
public thought i'll this country to dispangc
our institutions by comparisons between
them and those of Great Britain, based upon
the ialso assumption that the English gov
erument is the perfection Of human achieve
mcnt in all its branches. But the truth Is,
our Congress, bad rs ii il, Is moro than the
peer of any parliamentary body in the old
country.

enemy. No matter how grave the situation
affecting the condition Of the laboring
classes may be, there Is one step that will
inevitably make il worse, and cannot by
any possibility make it better, and that is
u resort to violence TO bring remedy. II
can never be permanently reached by that
path. Temporary advantages may, per-
chance, be gained by such q resort, but
he who appeals to such u rene iy will in
cvitably find his last estate worse than his
first Our Government Is based upon law,
and when that Is overturned tho superstruc-
ture falls AMI crushcs the hopes, prospects,
and interests of all alike. without q gov
crnment the case of the laboring man would
be hopeless, beyond the momentary scram-
bic that would follow in an effort to secure
some temporary advantage from the debris
of the ruin. The only hope, therefore, for
the laboring classes is to respect the laws,
sustain the powers Of government at all
times and upon all occasions; appeal as
strongly as human language will permit for
change of national policy; for a due respect
for the laboring classes, upon whom the fu-
ture peace, prosperity, and happiness Of cur
country depends for peaceful solution of
pending difficulties aud legal remedies for
pending ills
The man who counsels the workingman
at this time to adopt more reckless and
violent course in pursuit Of remedy for
existing evils, is no friend to the worker or
to this country. There is not an American
citizen-no matter how deep in the vale of
poverty he may rcside-but whose first and
last hope is in the Government, of which he
forms an integral part. 1t is that alone
which affords him protection in his rights
and upon which he must rely for his future
welfare and advancement. Without this
| all is lost that e!evates and ennobles his
character and condition. For this reason,
we appeal to the workingman to study his
own condition, the best methods for its i'm
provemcnt, and then find his path Of duty
in the light of his own reason and not in
tho siclly light tenrlcrcd TO him by the
demagogue, who counsels to disorder, vio-
lcnce, and ultimate ruin.

MATCH FOR ANDERSON.

The Weekly Clarion of June ., which
claims to he the official journal of the State
OF Mississippi, and which must have gradu
ated from the truthful school Of JAMES +.
ANDERSON or Baron MUSCHAUsEN, gives
its readers the following specimen Of its vc-
racity. II says:
The astounding revelations made by tho
witness ANDERSON of the Republican frauds in
the Presidential election in Louisiana arc SIM
ply terrific. Tho audacity displayed by tho nu.
thors of them, aud tho extent to which they
were carried, Is as amazing rs tho crimes them
selves are shocking TO the moral sense Of the
country. There was wcll-scttled belief be-
| tore the investigation commenced that frauds
had been committed by til, undor'ings of the

guilt upon SHERMAN MATTHEW'S. and Others

pointed supreme Judge. Not only 50, but /,

of Southern Cancellation, paciiication, anC
truthtulness. Even the pcrjured ASoERsoN

of unblushing eilrontery, for it eclipses hi

THE tobacco tax is the great flctor in
NOrth Carolina and Virginia politics just
now. 1t serves as Il hyphen-a connecting
link, as it wcre-to attach those States to
the General Government. If it were not
for its existence, together with the revenue
collected from the manufacture of whisky
sad facts which make the presence of dep
uty mRrshals frequent incidents-the peo-
pie down there would, many of them, i'm

opposition to these taxes rs they were to the
emancipation OF the blacks. But il il as

tobacco States has yet had the tcmcrity to
explain that the tax is paid by the tobacco
consumers, even the manufacturers license
being charged with his other expenses when
the weed is finally sold for use in the gem

however, gives them all chance to work
of their demagOgcal steam aud attempt to
