CONGRESSMAN MCKINLEY, who is now
misrepresenting this district 10 Congress,
made speech last week in the House,
in which he showed his bitterness at
Democrats to say nothing ofhis meanness
in misquoting Mr.. Blackburn; that is,
quoting only a part of a sentence that
conveyed meaning entirely different
from what the whole sentence expressed.
Mr. Blackburn replied, and dressed down
our specimen of pomposiiy.
Mr.. Mckinley favors the use of the
army in elections and hence opposes the
repeal measures. He wants no free cleo.
tions while the executive power is in its
present hands. Mckinley calls the Dem
ocratic party the party Of fraud. OF
course he does not specify. He did not
name Credit Mobilier nor De Golyer
pavement, nor Robson, Grants Secre-
tary of the Navy, and now member of
the House from New Jersey. He did not
say, that since 1861 the Republican party
had been in power, that their measures
of public policy had been in force, that
if evil had resulted, his party, and not
the Democracy, were responsible.
Mr.. Mckinley did not name Belknap,
Grants Secretary of War; did not claim
credit for his friend and fraud, Mr. Hayes,
on account Of civil service reform There
are two ways of attracting attention by
making a speech in Congress; one is, to
make it replete and fresh with argument
and power of expression; the other, to
attract notice by meanness, misrepresen-
tation and bitterness. Itwould seem Mr..
Mckinley attempted the latter course,
and got thorough scourging and dress
ing down from Mr.. Blackburn. The as
sumptious specimen who misrepresents
this district ought to learn modesty, and
begin to practice common sense and re.
gard for fair dealing and truth.

VILLA1NoU5, as we'll as scurvy polite
ians are those, whose whole stock in
trade is to try and SOW dissension, and
array in hostility the North against the
South. Let all such base fellows be
throttled and silenced by a generous
people whenever an opportunity is offer
ed at the ballot box. Let good citizens
unite and vote at all timesto put down
these demagogues, who are foes to peace,
justice and prosperity.

THE miserable bosh of the Republican
leaders about Confederates stealing slyly
back into power is too thin to deceive
anybody, Every Southerner in or out
of Congress is as loyal to the Union and
the Constitution to-day as any blaating
radical in the land. In fact the South
is under stronger bonds to labor for
peace than any other section. Her po-
litical, material and social interests all
lead in that direction. The parrot-like
talk about Brigadiers has had its day.
Poor souls are they who can be enter
tanned by it. 4H

in a court martial, Stanley charging Ha-
zen with cowardice at Shiloh, where he
commanded brigade. One officer of
the brigade said he did not see Hazen
all day, and that Hazen afterwards claim

and he could. not find it. Another wit
ness said, reluctantly, he always thought
Hazen "a nice sort of man, but little too
nervous for war"

THE GRANT POLICY

Is being developed in Congress. Grants
Secretary of the Navy during his eight
wears was Robson, of New Jersey, now
a member of the House. He is full
representative of Grant jobbery and cor
ruption, and favors Grant for a third
term. OF course he wants no free cleo
tions, but favors using the army, federal
supervisors and United States deputy
marshals. In recent speech he said :
"The strong arms, the clear heads, the
"brave hearts Of our people, would never
"yield to standing army, we're it mil
dion strong, unless II became absolutely
"nece8Sdry. under the pressure of uSurped
"and arbitrary pOwer Of some irresponsible
"member Of the system, TO Sacr'tce hOeIty 10
"Order'
This is the way Louis Napoleon's tools
talked in the French Assembly before the
coup delat of 1851. According to Robe
son, the standing army would not take
upon itself the responsibility of govern
ment, 'unles8 Il became absolutely necessary
"tlnder the pressure of fusurped and arbitrary
power of some irresponsible member Of
"tte 8ystem"
The Judge of this necessity is, of course,
the Commsnder.in chief of the army /;
and he would be surrounded by such ad-
visors as Robeson and others of his class,
who have fattened and became rich, like
abbering idiots that huttered around
Louis Napoleon and brought ruin upon
France In this respect, these "stal'
wart" knaves have done equally well in
this country-so well the people will not
be likely to restore them to power. The
Grant conspirators are al for self. Tier
rule would only be more robbery and

Two thousand colored people are cam
ped out near Wyandotte, Kansas, dying
at rapid rate, while. waiting for Gov.
ernment to present them with 100 acres
of land, carriages, horses, clothes and ci-
gars, as promised by the agents of the
Republican party in Mississippi and
Louisiana. ThelMayor of Wyandotte
has issued a proclamation, forbidding
steamboatmen to land any more indi-
gent negroes in that town. The Kansas
people are becoming alarmed. at the
prospect of-their State being overrun by
these helpless and ignorant plantation
hands. Their Radicalism is vanishing
before this strong argument now brought
to their very doors.

Mr.. Frye and Mr.. Blackburn had tilt
in the House on Saturday. In the Asso-
ciated Press report Of the proceedings,
we find this:
Mr. Mckinley here came into the CON
troversy, and asked Mr.. Blackburn
whether the speech of the latter mad APP
peared IN the Record as it had been de-
Iivered. .,
Mr.. Blackburn replied that it had, with
no sub tantial alteration. He repeated
few words that had been added, and
which he said rather weakened than
strengthened the words actually uttered
Mr.. Mckinley then asked whether the
pamphlet copy of Mr. Blackburn's speech
did not vary from the Record report OF 1t
in the sentence referred to.
Mr.. Blackburn said che word "only"
Lad been inserted in the pamphlet copy,
but said he had really not revised the
reporters notes. He retorted on Mr..
McKinlev by asking whether he had not
revised his speech Of yesterday.
Mr.. Mckinley said he had, whereupon
there was triumphant clapping of hands
and laughter on the Democratic side.
Mr.. Blackburn then asked Mr.. Nc
Kinley why it was that when, yesterday,
the charge Of deliberate act of iDjus-
ice had been hurled in his teeth, he
had refused to ALLOW Colloquy to go
into his sper ch.
Mr.. Mckinley said the two things were
side by side in the Record this morning,
and Offered Mr.. Blackburn the privilege
of publishing his (McKinley's) speech
with his BLACK burn's) explanation.
Mr.. Black burn sarcastically thanked
Mr.. Mckinley for the offer, but declined,
on the ground that he (Mr. Blackburn
would not be benefited by the associa'
tion.

An exchange asks-'I5 Grant to stand
above Washington ?" Well, We guess
not. Washington refused third term
of the Presidency; Jackson did, and
Jefferson did not want it, All our Pres.
idents have been fully satisfied with two
terms. The people have come to believe
IN it as rule, and if Grant don't refuse
the nomination for the third term, the
people will refuse him. The people are
satisfied with Grant rule, jobbery and
corruption.

BURGLARS AT WORK.
Four Shots Fired at Them, but They Escap


This morning during the heavy rain,
about | o'clock, four shots were heard
in the neighborhood of Pleasant street and
McMcken avenue.
An investigation showed that two bur,
glars had effected an entrance into the
saloon of Mr.. J. Killewein, southeast cor
ner of the above named streets.
The thieves had cut out piece of glass
from one of the windows; then, bv reach
irg for and opening the catch, showed the
window up and got inside.
Policeman Renner about this time made
his appearance and saw the men go through
the opening. He stealthily approached,
but he was noticed by the men, who jumped
out of the window and ran down McMck-
en- avenue.
One Of the burglars disappeared among
abe beer vats in front Of Moerein's brew
cry, while the other in his hot haste ran
into the arms of Patrolman Murray at the
corner of Henry and Pleasant streets He
was at once seized, but made desperate re-
sistance during which Officer Murray be-
abored the prisoner quite heartily with his
mace
Renner, who was still in the rear, began
firing, and not ceasing when Murray told
him to quit, the latter was compelled to
let his prisoner go, as the bullets were
whiZzing too near his own head. Four
shots were fired. The burglar, while Muir
ray and Renner halted for moment, put a
good distance between himself and the blue
coats. and disappeared in the darkness.
The thieves in their flight left behind them
q box of cigars, a box of matches, and red
pocket handkerchief
