out in favor of deferring the further pay
ment of tho national debt till better
times set in. The debt was contracted
for postsrity, and it is only fair and
reasonable that the next generation
should bear its share Of the burden.
When it is remembered that the present
generation bore the awful brunt OF the
war, which cost million lives, and blot
ted out in manifold ways property OF va
rious kinds to the amount of billions OF
dollars, leaving one-half OF the Union
impoverished and almost desolate, 1t GER
tainly seems reasonable to ask that the
weight of national debt paying he deVid-
ed between this and future genations, and
so spread over 3 long reach of time
that it will not fall oppressively any
where. A great nation has something
else TO think of than the payment of its
debts. 1t would be unfortunate to Grip
pie Its resources and put check on re-
yiving industries merely for the sake OF
paying Its debts before they are due.
There is q tendency on the part of many
public men 10 look on the Government
as corporation, in and of itself, with It.
self, with interests spart from and inde-
pendent of those of the country at large.
This view is true of monsrchical govern
ments TO greater or less extent, but it is
not true of our own. Our Government is
simply the agent of the people, and has
no interests apart from the interests OF
the country at large. The government is
not in the position of banker whose
whole business is finance and who Is
enriched or impoverished according ss
bis operations sway one way or another.
Yet this is the view which seems to possess
SHERMAN and some other of the lead.
lag Republicans. TO hear them talk and
read their speeches and reports one would
inter that the United States was a sort Of
private banker engaged in financial
operations on its own account, and trying
desperately hard to outwit other specula-
tors and drive smart bargains with capi-
tslists and in the money markets. This
view is radically false, and it is the
radical talsehood of three-qusrters OF the
Republican hnanciering.
The real question is not how the Gov
ernment, as such, can make money out of
the people, but how it can help the peo-
pie to make money for themselves. Con-
gress ia convened to promote the public
prosperity, and not to tinker with the
finances. The Administration ought TO
suggest and urge measures calculated
to improve business, stimulate industry
of all kinds, revive trade and commerce,
and develop the latent resources and
wealth of the country. To make trade
good, to open new markets for our pro-
ducts and manufactured goods, to rebuild
our lost merchant marine, to restore the
confidence Of the capitalists in produc-
tive industry and enterprises Of ell kinds,
are the objective points both Congress
and the President should keep constant
ly in view.

1HE WneeZlnS Oiu VI bah "" A0
teenth street, takes great comfort IN the
belief that the REGISTER Is not a satisfsc-
tory organ TO all the Democrats OF this
CITY. Possibly the REGIsTER don't aspire
TO the distinction of trying to grind out
tunes to suit every possible crank that
may find lodgment in the brain OF such
self.seeking, otHce-begging fellows ss
fssten themselves like Bsrnscles upon
the party. We believe that condition
of affairs exists in the Democratic
party in this city and State similar 10
that existing in other cities and States;
The great ma OF the party are honestly
attached to the principles it represents
and they msnfu,ly stand By it and Its
chosen leaders, while there Is q small
minority OF dishonest, scheming, intrlSu-
ing men who seek only their own sggran-
disement and portion Of this clAss are
always foolish enough to suppose that
their only path TO success leads over the
dead bodies politically OF those they
cannot use as their supple tools. We
find this to be the case IN the party as
National organization, and we lind 1t SO
in States. 1t is the case IN New
York, Cincinnati and Wheeling.
If the position the REGISTER occupies
ia the party in this city ana
State don't worry anybody any more
than it does its editor, no s.eep is lost
on that account. The editor Of the REG
IsrER desires the good opinion of every
one, be he Democrat or Republican, and
he strives earnestly to deserve it, but II
he tails 10 obtain it he loses no flesh IN
mourning over the fact.
The REaIsrEs found tn is city, county
and State, in the hands OF ProscriPtive
Radical party. with ARCHIE CAMPBELL
ss its chief bloodhound. Men were
robbed of the right of suffrage for mere
belief, and were persecuted and banished
from home or imprisoned for the
expression of political opinicn
The editor OF the REGISTER wss
placed at the head of an organization
which, by Jealous lsbors and we'll di-
rected blows, brought victory TO our
standard. In spite of proscriptive
Registration system rigidly enforced in
the interests Of Rsdicalism, that party
went into the minority in the city and
State. For this we believe Mr.. BAKER
has never been forgiven; and at this late
day he is not inclined to ask any ones
forgiveness.
The Intell,geneer rsmbles about an
efior that was made at one time by one
of the present editors of the Radical
Standard and few congenisl spirits 70
buy the REGISTER from Mr.. BAKER. As
Mr.. BAKER was at that time desirous OF
selling, the only thing that prevented the
contamination OF the deal was the lack
Of funds.
Whatever efforts have been made to
break the REGISTER down or found RI
val newspaper in its party, none OF them
have succeeded quite as we'll as has the
experiment OF rival to the Inteltigen1er
in It's party. With that party IN minor

opinion of its members another paper

LONDON, January 24.-Sir Stafford

for supplem entsry supplies Tor the naval
and military service.
The National Zeitung, the organ OF the
National Liberal party, believes that the
Russians intend TO go TO Constantinople.
If the Russians attempt to go to Gallipoli
or Constantinople there is hardly
a doubt but that the BrItish Ministry
will interfere if supported by a majority
of Parliament, and they probably will be,
although the most advanced section OF
the Opposition in both houses would not
regard the occupation of Constantinople
as interference with British interests or
ground for hostile action. In the mean
time the military situation OF the Turks
is not so desperate as has seemed during
the past few days of panic. Neverthe-
less the Porte is very anxious for cessa-
tion of hostilities, Notwithstanding the
fact ths. Suleiman Pssha's army is safe
