THE DUTY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
and Of Democratic statesmen In Congress Is
clear. We submitted once for the sake Of tran
auility, and now the peace is broken by those
no more truce or parley wi b them. II is of
small moment what happens to Hayes in the
melee. but to massacre the mtsereants who will
not let the country rest unless they can pillage
while 1t eleeps. is u holy duty. The question as
to who shall hold the Presidency until March
4. 1ssl Is of m nor import; but the question as
to what pententiary shall close over Bill
Chandler and the gang he stands for Is vita {,
Ten years more Of such men and auch me hods
as they have invented will make Mexico envia-
Bile and turn Central America into com
parative elysium Of good government and wise
statesmanship. The ascendeney of such men
is travesty upon Anglo.saxon civilization.
That they should wear Hon" before their
names is a bnrlesque upon the language we
speak. and that they should move in society Is a
moekery Of de ,ency and religion that impels
one to inquire whether Ii would not be pious to
call our iails churches and turn our churches
into ials: whether in f1ne the plan of salvation
should not be changed To make heaven the
abode Of the damned and hell PARADISE
