impose a return Of the favor at the expense
OF his sobrlety. In the old days Of frontier
life, refusing a treat was often construed,
so we are told, as an offence against pro-
prlety which only blood could avenge; but
such dangerous hospitality is not much
preferable to that which forces a man TO get
drunk against his will, and drag himself
down to the grave by slow poison whose
effects are worse than those Of q pistol shot.
The true way TO do is not TO drink unless
you really need IL, or can stop as soon as you
have had enough, whether you pay for It
yourself or somebody else treats you to the
liquor. Remember also that though hospi-
tality may require you to be FREQ with your
wine within bounds, neither hospitality nor
any generous impulse demands that you
should get drunk to oblige your friends.
And 1t is vulgar and in violation Of the
instinct OF hospitality to show that you
think your friends food and drink should
be returned in kind and at once, just as II
there was an implied bargain. II your
company Is not worth more to him than the
price OF the drink, you take low estimate
Of yourself, or you have intrudcd yourself
into his society; else you insult him by
inferring that he gives with the idea Of
getting even by n return drink. OF course,
II you both really want another glass, that
is another matter; but neither OF you is
under any obligation TO take the second be-
cause you took the first, and both will be
better Off without it.
But bad as the abuse of treating to drinks
may be, It has its good side. and drunken
ness Is not so likely TO come out of 1t as from
solitary drinking. That is the recourse Of
the confirmed drunkard, too, who is ashamed
TO let people see how heavily he loads him
self. starting early in the morning and
keeping it up until past midnight.
The true way is TO drink only with your
meals. II you drink at all; but II you do
take glass with friend at another time,
do not by any means look on that as impos-
ing an obligation on you to stand treat In
return, and so start the ball rolling; for
before you have got through with the bout
you may have lost the count OF the drinks,
and not know which owes for the last, so
drunk are you both.
stopping treating, however, will not stop
drinking to excess. The English, who do
not practise it as we do, are great drinkers.
1t may, however, help some men OF weak
will to keep sober.
We are sorry To learn that so much liquor
is consumed in the Brooklyn Club; but in
order TO stop the practice perhaps the best
way would be TO disband. When a club gets
thoroughly soaked in rum, it is almost inn
possible to get the smell out Of it; and pru-
dent men will be at their homes rather than
in its society. 1t is not decent TO swig
spirits under any circumstances or in any
company; though II you are bound to do it,
perhaps it is safer TO choose the society OF
other tippers, who, by keeping up with you,
will fail to see how steadily your foolishness
increases with your drinks. 1t doesn't much
matter then who pays for the liquor for
none of the lot will have long either to pay
or 10 receive.

two OF cash will go far to remove the scru-
pies Of patriots who may be In market.
Having thus divided the opposition, ac-
cordlng to the programme at least, the next
step will be to conquer remaining difficulties
by tine use of the army at the polls. This ele-
ment is essential TO complete success, for
without it the first part may fail, because
of latent belief among the managers
that one cannot succeed without the other.
The stalwarts have captured HAYES, and
henceforth they will run him and overcome
all resistance In his Cabinet II any there be.
HAYES has been made TO believe that the
danger of Impeachment is past, and that he
Is now in secure possession OF an Office to
which he was not elected, and of what to
him is far more valuable, fifty thousand dol
lars year and free living. He desires to re-
instate himself in favor with his own party,
the leaders OF which recently discarded and
denounced him. The humiliation OF sur
render to CoNKLING, CHANDLER HAMLIN,
and their associates costs him nothing. lie
has no honorable pride to wound and no
manhood to defend.
1t is thus seen that the army at tho polls,
as it was used in 1870, in 1872, in 1874 and In
1876, consecutively and openly, is needed to
carry out the plan Of the Republicans for
1880. Allow the law OF 1865 to stand, and vote
appropriations for the present army, and
what is there to prevent the Fraudulent Pres
idcnt from massing thousands Of troops In
this ci;y and ships of war in the harbor, as
GRANT did in 1870, under that authority ? A
pretext can easily be invented, and a thou
sand will be found IL necessary, to excuse
such interference. He may scatter the whole
army among the great cities and supple
ment the troops with another army OF super
visors, marshals, general deputies, and
special deputies at S. a day. Let Congress,
them stand firm. Better disperse the army
TO the four winds than submit to the dicta-
tion OF Fraudulent President and his
party keepers. We want no standing army
to manage our elections.

win Mr.. Hayes Squarely Plant his Foot
ON the Constitution

The bill which Mr.. HAYES last vetoed for
babe the presence OF any part OF the army
Or navy at any place where general or
special election is being held in State.
This may be construed to Apply to cleo
lions other than those for Representatives
and Senators-that is to say other than
those over which the Constitution gives, by
express letter, jurisdiction to Congress.
The Constitution says:
1.-THE times places and manner holding elections for
eenators and Representatives shall be prescribed In each
State by the Legislature thereof; but he Congr may
any bv lar make alter ah reguiaitp except 10
ne placesior choosing Senators"
This is a grant, by the express words OF
the Constitution, to Congress, OF the sole
and exclusive ultimate power to regulate
the times. places and manner OF holding
elections for Representatives; and OF Sena-
tors except as to the places. For although
the several States are granted certain
original powers, they are all subject to
alteration by Congress.
Here is as clear and as well-deflned grant
Of power as there is in the Constitution.
Now we should like to see the two Houses
pass an act in the words following:
Whsreps BY the Constitution Of the United States the
oower granted Congress make or alter all regua
tons as 10 the tunes places and Of holding
tons Tor Senators aud Re representatives. except the
places Of choosing senators.
Re Il enacted &c That at the times and places Of choos.
Ing Senators and 1t shall not be lawful tn
bring employ any part Of the army Or navy OF the
United States unless such force be necessary repe the
armed enemies Of the United states or to enforce section
article Z, Of the Constitution OF the United and
The laws made in pursuance thereof the application OF
the LEGISLATURE or Executive Of the State where such
force is to be used.
This is similar, in general, TO the act
already vetoed but its phraseology is
adapted TO the exact language of the Con-
stitution.
1t would be wise and sagacious thing for
Congress 10 adopt 1t.
For Mr. HAYES to veto IL would be hazard
Gus to him and his party in the last degree.
Would he dare do il
Such veto would be a milestone around
the neck OF the Republican party.

don market, for example, 1t supplies

the bulk OF the deliveries. and protractcd
shortcomings in this direction would entail
the widest disaster. Already the strike has
seriously affected the iron trade of Cleve-
land, which even on the recent contracted
scale Of operations had found employment
for upward Of 10000 hands. 1t Is believed
that n few weeks stoppage Of the Durham
pits would impose suspension on every
branch Of the iron industry. Already the own
ers OF blast furnaces are resorting to the
expedient OF slack blast, as II is called,
which. however, can only be maintained for
a few weeks. The present situation, indeed,
is not only one of the gravest concern to the
iron manufacturers, but a continuance OF
the strike In the Durham collleries threatens
catastrophe to all the great collateral and
dependent interests OF the north OF England.

Treating TO Drinks.

1t seems that "a number OF influential
members of the Brooklyn Club" have started
a movement to stop treating TO drinks in
that social organization. They say the prac-
tice leads to drunkenness by tempting men
TO drink more than they need, If they
need drink at all, and is attended with va
rious other evils.
OF course II half a dozen men are together
and one treats the crowd to drinks, the rest
treating in succession, so as TO show that
there is nothing mean about them, the whole
party are pretty full by the time each has
had six glasses, and all Of them are out OF
pocket to considerable amount. Yet per-
haps no one of them wished more than one
horn at the start. No doubt such treating
is silly to the last degree, and no man of
sense will take glass under conditions that

aries, whose stories Of their work In hea-

lions of money. But this is an even more
expensive way of raising funds than tele-

Hayes Against the Army and Against
the Constitution.

Let Congress pass the act which we have
elsewhere proposed as q condition prece-
dent to any appropriations; then suppose
Mr.. HAYES vetoes it and there is no appro-
priation for the army: who is responsible ?
Clearly Mr.. HAYES.
For ourselves we think the country might
better dispense with its standing army than
with one jot OF liberty. Mr.. HAYES may
think differently. But even II no were right
the whole blame Of the requisite appropria-
ton for the army failing would rest on his
own shoulders, and not on those of any one
else.
For the only proviso 10 the grant Of the
appropriation is the exercise Of an unds-
putable delegation to Congress Of a specific
power by the Constitution.
In other words, the veto Of such bill will
be denial, by Mr.. HAYES, of the right OF
Congress to use a power expressly con-
ferred upon it, in the plainest terms, by the
Constitution.
Is Congress afraid to go before the country
bearing the standard OF the Constitution,
full high advanced, in its right hand, while
the arrogant President de fdcto marches

instrument under his feet 2

We suppose that from twenty-five hun
dred to three thousand Of the 'longshoremen
now out on strike read The SUN every morning
We have a word or two to say TO them Thus
far they have behaved well-remarkably WELL
all things considered. Although smarling un-
der sense OF grievous wrong. they have been
peaceable and law-abiding. Only in n few in
stances has there been any fighting. This good
behavior has earned the 'longshoremen the
sympathy Of large section OF the community
not directly interested in the questions at issue
between them and their employers.
1t would be great pity IL they should now
forfeit this sympathy by breach Of the peace.
Their right to strike for higher wages is un-
questioned but SO is the right OF other men TO
work for tho wages offered by the companies II
they choose to do so. SO also Ia the right OF the
companies to import laborers from abroad. II
they cannot find enough experienced men In
this city who are willing TO work for the wages
which they are willing to pay. The wisdom Of
such an importation is a question by itself.
which we do not care to discuss at this time.
We hear that a few longshoremen are indug-
Ing in threats as to what may be expected to
happen when tho foreigners arrive. Talk Of
that sort IL foolish and 1t will be n bad day for
the 'longshoremen II anything comes Of it.

Bile longshoremen. Let them stick 10 1t. turn

Anovel question arose at the opening OF the
General Assembly OF the Presbyterian Church.
now sitting at Saratoga. A Moderator or Presi-
dent was TO be- chosen. Half dozen Doctors Of
Divinity were put in nomination. and Mr.. WILL
LIAM L. DODGE. an elder Of the Madison Square
Church. some antiquarian clergyman raised
the objection that layman was not eligible to
the office Of Moderator. This clerical cayil was
sent 10 the table. and on the call Of the roll.
Elder DODGE received very handsome vote.
Mr.. DODGE should try his chances next year.
Success would devolve upon him a duty which,
at first view. might seem embarrassing. He
would have to preach the opening sermon be-
fore the next General Assembly. But he might
follow tho example Of many of the clergy and
buy a sermon ready made In the mean time
one Of the colleges to whose funds he has been a
liberal contributor. could confer upon him the
degree OF d. d. Thus he would appear on tho
field fully equipped according to the canons Of
