THE Democrat Topped back again
last week on the Impeachment business
In congress-, and announced seriously
that it does "not think it good policy
to again disturb the business of the
country by a re-opening of the contro-
versy." In its issue of the week be-
fore it declared in favor OF President
Hayes summary removal from office.
We suggest to the editor that this
continual blowing of hot and cold will
never answer. He cannot reasonably
expect his application for the Post
mastership under Tilden to be fayora-
bly, considered unless he is more faith
full to his chief. He may as we'll
withdraw his claims at once, unless he
makes up his mind to join the Greas-
ers and aid in the revolutionary
scheme by which they propose to Mex
icanize the government.

Current Opinions.

New Orleans DEMOCRAT: This exposure
we feel assured, will compel the GUST
ing of Hayes BY impeachment or some
other process.
Davenport (Ia) Gazette: There is
not poor man vanly seeking employ
mont; there is not manufacturer
struggling to build up his business
there is not merchant hoping for
revival of trade; there is not a money
ed or commercial interest in the
country but must suffer, and that Sc
verely, from the political revolution
now inaugurated by the Democratic
House and secretly fostered by its
Communistic allies in the large cities
Q towns.
Washington Post, DEM: No atten-
ton will be paid to the Radical yell of
revolution. Revolution means shoot
ing and throat-cutting We propose
nothing of this order except 10 self
defense .jAgain We assert that the Dem.
ocratlc party Is entitled in law equity
and morals to the control of the Gov
erment, and means to have it. That
ought to be an ineligible declaration.
It certainly is pacific declaration,
and one that We shall stand to.
Inter Ocean: 1t is fact autben-
ticated, and will 20 down in the his.
tory of the country, that Samuel j.
Tilden attempted to buy vote in the
State of Oregon to make himself Presi-
dent. 1t will also be recorded as a
fact of history that the Democratic
party, hunting anxiously "for fraud"
anxious to purify the ballot and correct
future abuse, persistently refused to
include Oregon in the investigation.
The covering of Democracy is too thin;
it will get no encouragement from loyal
ballots or protection from loyal bayonets.
Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle Dem: We
believe that an effort to Dust Hayes and
Wheeler and inaugurate Tilden and
Hendrick would iDjure instead of
benefit the Democracy and cause them
to loose the House of Representatives
that is to be chosen next November. But
whether such step would iniure or
benefit the Democratic party is not the
issue. The question is: Would it ben.
eft or injure the country? We do
not hesitate to say that we are for the
country first and for the Democratic
party afterwards.
New York Tribune: The South
shows signs Of restlessness about the
fate Of its subsidies and claims. 1t
fears this Potter investigation has so
delayed the public business that an
adjournment will be made before cues.
tons which particularly interest the
South can be acted upon. Behind
this is snother fear that this Congress
is likely to be succeeded by Repub.
lican one, and then there will be no
hope whatever. The result of these
forebodings is lively attack upon the
Northern Democrats by the Southern
Democrats editors. They accuse him
Of faithlessness and ingratitude; of ex.
pecting solid Southern vote, but new
er expecting to give any favors in re.
turn for it. This seems to be a hasty
conclusion. Isn't the present move
ment another name for "olaim?" 1t
isn't for paltry $500, 900, 900. but
for the whole Government. The South
ern brother should look at it in that
light and be more cheerful The North
looks q; it in that way and means to
kill the whole claim business by head
ing of this monster of them all.

THERE does not appear to be that
unauimity Of sentiment among the
fraud shriekers which should exist I'M
der the circumstances if they are de-
sirous of having success crown their
efforts. One Of the most persistent,
Jere Black, doesn't take much stock
in the Potter expedition. He says
the Presidents title is legal to every
intent and purpose, and that Mr.. Hayes
can be removed only by impeachment
or death. He thinks be could be i'm
peached for giving Offices as rewards
to men who committed frauds to make
him President, but he does not believe
he is guilty of doing that If the OBJ
Ject is to impeach Secretary Sherman,
then the House ought to have made
direct attack on him. Gas it is" con-
eludes Mr.. Black, 'the investigation
seems to be aimless. The mill is 90
ing, to be sure, but there is nothing in
the hopper that can be legally ground" "

REPRESENTATIVE Oliver, of
Iowa, who has long been regarded
as the leading soft-money man in
the Iowa congressional delegation,
has set an example worthy of imi-
tation by Republicans everywhere.
He was recently re-nominated by
the Greenbackers of his district,
but has written a letter declining to
serve. His district being the
Northwestern part of the State,
where Greenbackism has ran ram
pant, and Oliver himself being so
dlstinctively representative of that
element, his letter is of much signi-
ficance. He peremptorily declines
the nomination, and emphatlcally
states that in the present situation
of affairs, the Greenback movement
it out of place, silver having been
remonetized and resumption being
practically provided for. Resump-
ton will unlock vast quantities of
gold and greenbacks now boarded.
and make money plentiful and re-
vive business prosperity and good
times. He also gives the revolu-
tionary programme of the Demo
eracy some hard whacks, and de-
mands that it shall be fought from
the shoulder out, by all Republi-
cans within their own party.

Eg The st. Louis Republican has
these wise and well timed remarks to
make in regard to the denomination of
the able Chairman Of the Naval Commit
tee of the House:
tits hardly comprehensive, yet there
is really some opposition in the Tennes-
see Congressional District represented
by Whitthorne to his denomination. 1t
doesn't amount to much and Whitthorne
will get the nomination by an over
whelming majority, but some people in
his District think he ought to be sIaugh-
tered in obedience to the vicious princi-
pie ofrotation in office. 1t is had enough
for district to drop an old, experienced
Member under any circumstances, but to
fail in sending Whitthorne back just
when the Republicans are arranging to
send ex-Secretary Robson to Congress
for the express purpose of getting even
with him" for showing up the corruption
in the Navy Department., would be a
piece of inconceivable idiocy. Whit,
tno rne must go back, so that Robson may
have his hands full.

RE The Methodist clergymon Of Il

ET The Methodist clergymen Of tht
city Of Washington have, in our opin
ion, done very sensible thing, in uni
tedly protesting against improper delays
and unnecessary expense at funerals II
has already become custom in our
metropolitan cities, to have fashionable
funerals, constituting that which should
be only a solemn last act of earthly de-
votion and affection an occasion of gaudy
pomp. and vain, inglo-ious show. 1t
is suggested by these elorgymen that the
general distribution of Grape and gloves
be dispensed with, and that only the
nearest relatives OF the deceased wear
mourning also that tho usual exhibi-
tion of flowers be given up, and the
number of carriages be reduced as low
as possible. Now, we say, let ministers
of all denominations follow the example
and il may be that it will be better for
the dead ones friends. Let us pay the
last rites of earth to our dead with an
affection untainted by ostentatfon, and
with grief uncontaminated by fash
ion begotten vanity.

A Good thing to do with Money.

Hear what the New York Sun says
Our rich men in modern times have suf
fered peculiar embarrassment. Some
OF them have nearly worried their lives
out in trying to decide what to do with
their money. II they loft it to any
charitable object, trustees might squan.
der it, or, for some reason or other it
might not accomplish the good for which
it was designed. One had no children
to speak Of to leave his to, and another
was like the old woman in the shoe, he
had so many children he didn't know
what to do-some Of them bothered
him so.
The prevalence of yellow-fever at the
South affords to all persons who are en-
barrassed in determining what DISPOSE
ton to make Of their surplus funds an
opportunity to dispense with reasona
bic sum in way that is certain to prove
a blessing to the sore afflicted and suf-
fering.
Every dollar that goes South now
wears an angels face to those to whom
it is sent.

Maine.

The astonishment caused by the Maine
election grows out of the unexpected
strength of the new force it demon
strates, The old party leaders have not
been willing to admit that greenbackism
could do more than modify the strictness
of the existing parties; it was not mag
ined that it was possible for it to secure
a footing in the political field as a dis
tinct power-at any rate not in an east
ern state. But here is Maine turned up
side down by the new party-the Re
publican majority overthrown, its popu-
lar candidate for governor beaten, two
congressional districts lost, and Hon.
Eugene Hale, representative in congress
from the Fifth district, and, next to Mr..
Blaine, the favorite leader in the state,
unexpectedly unseated. Mr.. Hale has
been member OF all the congresses
from the Forty-frst to the Forty-tiith in
elusive, and had come to be recognized
rs fixture in the house. His defeat
fills the Republicans of the
East with dismay, since it suggests the
strong probability of similar derange.
ments and disasters in other states where
they have despised the Greenbackers-
New York and Pennsylvania.
1t is evident that the Republicans must
now give up all hope of securing con
troll OF the next house. There was very
little ground for such hope at the be.
ginning and the loss of two members in
Maine dissipates that
The Maine result will create most un
easiness in Massachusetts by inspiriting
the party that stands behind Butler and
increasing his chances of election. In.
deed the probability that Butler will be
the next governor OF Massachusetts is SO
strong that it will require all the exer.
ton the Republicans can put forth to
prevent it.

| The following is a special to tho st
Louis Republican :
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The new
from Maine, completely demoralized thu
Republican congressional committee
here. The committee began active work
three months ago In Maine, too, the
committee worked hard, for over three
weeks since Hale, who is chairman, gave
the alarm that there was serious danger
of losing one or more congressman. Cor
ham, an astute political manager, and
secretary of the committee, went to
Maine, some weeks ago, purposely to see
what kind of help was most needed.
Notwithstanding all this personal super.
vision, and the free use of the commit
tee money and documentary aid, the
State has jumped over the traces. At
the rooms, today, the clerks were idle
and demoralized. Ex-Secretary Robe
son sat in one room, most of the day
waiting for dispatches. He says, "the
news is Terrible Outside of politics,
there is a general feeling Of relief over
the retirement of Hale, who, by his sill
ly pomposity, has made himself odious
to all spectators CT congressional procee
din3s. Beyond being Blaine's little bub
and Zach. Chandler's son-in-law, he has
never amounted to much. The Repub
lican managers are sadly discouraged.
One says one thing has been made plain
by the election, and that is that the ma
tional banks must contribute literally to
tho Republican campaign fund that. the
OF both are Identical, and II
their officers cannot read the lessons of
the Greenback victories in New Eng
land, they are too obtuse to deserve con-
Gorham recently remarked
that the National banks would have " to
fish on cut bait" Gorham returned from
New York, this evening, and intimates
that the National banks will not render
