RUSSIA is in turmoil. The people
are restless, and seem determined on
resistance. Despotism is oppression, and
begets resistance. Their immense stand
ing army, and police, seem to afford lit
tie security. A ukase orders the ap-
pointment of Goyernors General for six
of the most populous districts with des-
potic powers, The Cossacks in Southern
Russia refuse to contribute to the state
revenues, and have had an engagement
with a regiment, and badly defeated it.
1t shows an alarming condition of things.
The party of force rule in this country
are anxious to use the army against the
people, to control elections, &c. Our
Grant party is the Russian party here.

REPUBLICAN leaders constantly express
great sympathy for the colored brother.
They continually howl over the cruel
treatment South. After the election in
1876, when Hayes found he was beaten,
he declared for himself he cared not, but
he was concerned for the fate of the
poor colored man, now that the Demo-
Gratis were to come into power with Til.
den. Republican papers and speakers,
in and out Of Congress, are loud in their
expressions of sympathy for the poor
negro. Though Hayes was counted in,
we have not heard of him doing much
for the Colored brother by way of ap-
pointing to Office. 1t seems, lately, ex-
Congressman Joseph H. Rainey, for sew.
eral terms a colored member from South
Carolina, but defeated at the last elec.
ton, applied to be made Third Auditor
of the Treasury Department under Sher-
man. 1t was vacant, and he was strong
ly recommended. His Fraudulency,
Sherman & Co., expressed great interest,
knew his great merit, &c. To all appear
ance it was sure to come, for all the lead
ers spoke favorable, and thought it
would be good policy besides, Mr..
Rainey had personal claims, &c. Well,
Notwithstanding all this, Mr.. Rainey was
not appointed, but still the crocodile
tears of Hayes & Co., will continue to
flow for the oppressed and neglected |
3olored brother.

On Monday in the lower house Of Con-
gress the States were called for bills and
joint resolutions for reference to commit
tees. All the States were called and
heard, and members offered bills until
after p. M, and in that time 1886 bills
had been introduced. Never in the his
tory of the House had such thing been
known before. Each member, seemed
to have a supply. Thomas Turner of
Kentucky was the champion, offering
forty five bills. Others ran as high as
twenty, thirty and forty. Three-fourths
of the bills introduced were for pensions
or other private claims, and fully nine
tenths Of the whole number were bills
which failed to pass at the last Congress.
Some of the bills were mere repetitions.
For example, there were several, at least
twenty, to repeal the duty on quinine;
as many to relieve growers of tobacco of
onerous taxation, and as many to pay
pensions to soldiers of the Mexican war,
and besides large number of pensions
and other private bills.

OF Senator Beck's speech in the SEN
ate on Tuesday, the Cincinnati CONNER
cial special says
Beck followed in one of the best pre-
sentations of the Democratic side yet
made. He read at length from messages
of Republican Governors, condemning
the presence of troops at the polls. Quo
ting from Governor Geary of Pennsyl-
wanna, he asked Wallace if he (Geary)
was considered loyal man, Wallace
replied that he was a Major General in
the Union army. "Here, then" said
Beck, 81 read from the message of Re-
publican Governor, who went into the
army and fought, and didn't hire a sub.
stitute to fight for him." looking squarely
at Blaine as he said it. The hit was pal
pable, and Blaine WINGED.

In the Senate on Tuesday, Senator Da-
Wis OF Illinois delivered an able argu
ment, and in good temper. He favors
the Army bill with the repeating clause
deprecates the foolish and mean charge
of revolution claims the Federal laws
are as we'll obeyed in the South as in the
North, and desires that peace and good
will be promoted between all sections of
the country. The House passed the Sub
sidy Silver bill on Tuesday. 1t provides
that small silver coin shall be a legal ten
der for sums of twenty dollars or less.
The day was occupied with numerous
speeches.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1879-04-24

LET the facts speak. Garfield and bis
followers yelp "revolution," and say the
Democrats are going to destroy the gov
ernment, "starve it to DEATH" by failing
to pass the necessary appropriations.
Now, let us see. There are twelve ap-
preparation bills, providing the neces.
sary supplies to run the government. OF
these, ten passed the Democratic House
in the last Congress, before it expired on
March 4th, and we're approved by the
Senate and the President. Of the re.
naming two apprj jpriation bills, the late
Democratic House passed them also, but
they were not approved by the Senate,
which was then Republican, and hence
failed to pass On account of this failure
an extra session of Congress was called,
and is now in session. One of these ap.
preparation bills has already passed the
House, as before, and is now pending in
in the Senate, and that body, now being
Democratic, the bill will undoubtedly
pass, so that if this appropriation bill
fails at all, it will be through the veto of
President Hayes. The other appropria
ton bill that failed in the last Congress
is now pending in the House, and will
soon also pass that body, and will'also
pass the Senate, and if that fails, it will
be by the Presidential veto.
1t will be seen by this what party is
the Revolutionary" party; what party
is trying ito starve the government to
DEATH" The issue, it will be seen, is
made up. The record of the Democratic
party is clear, and they need not fear GO
ing before the people. Attaching clauses
to appropriation bills is nothing new. In
1857 the Republican party for the first
time got a majority in the House, and
John Sherman, then a member of the
House, moved an amendment to the
Army bill, prohibiting the use of United
States troops in Kansas to aid in the en-
forcement of territorial laws.
In 1867, when Andrew Johnson was
President, and the Republican party was
in full control in both branches of Con.
gress, that party in the Senate attached |
an amendment to the Army appropria.
ton bill, stripping the President of his
Constitutional right to be commander-in.
chief of the army of the United States.
Ia this shape it passed both houses, All
the Democrats in Congress seek to do
now, is to repeal certain odious enact
ments Of the Republican party. They
are attempting nothing to degrade the
acting President, or to deprive any Citi-
zen of Constitutional rights. Indeed,
he Democrats seek to restore liberty
and justice.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1879-04-24

The Saxton family organ lauds, of
course, McKinley's puerile effort in Con-
gress. On the question of free elections
he grossly misrepresents this district, as
was seen at the Spring election, and will
be seen next October. In Russia, and
other countries having despotic govern
ments, bayonet rule prevails. This "stal-
warts" of the Republican party would
govern this country in the same way, so
that their schemes of jobbery and cor
ruption might enable them to riot in
plunder, wrung from an oppressed and
oyerburdened people. They would like
to fasten the millstones of royalty and
oppression upon the toiling millions in
this country-a large standing army, a
royal navy with the English titles, and
all the other attendants of fostering, rot
ten, shoddy aristocracy.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1879-04-24

CONGRESSMAN HAwLEY of Connecticut,
summed up the issue before Congress in
nutshell, when he said the Republi
cans had legislated just as the Democrats
now propose to legislate, by political ri.
ders on appropriation bills, but that two
wrongs didn't make right. Had he
stopped just here he m ght have received
some credit, but after acknowledging his
own party wrong, he went on to de-
nounce the Democratic party as revou.
tionary in attempting now to do as Re-
pubicans when in power, have always
done.
President Hayes in the Congress of
1867 voted to fasten a political rider on
the appropriation bill, and in doing so
he followed the lead of Garfield. Now
Garfield denounces the repeal of that po.
litical rider by the Democrats in tie
manner in which he enacted it, as reVo-
lutionary and rebellious, and Hayes is
called upon to veto the bill because an
offensive section; to the repeal of which
he processes no repugnance, is to be re.
pealed in the manner that Hayes and
Garfield made it law.
In 1872 Garfield repeated the example
when he forced into the civil appropria-
ton bill the political rider, giving super
visors and deputy marshals the most ar
bitrary powers to interfere with voters
and elections. Garfield called it right
then. Garfield calls it wrong when the
Democrats take his own method of re.
pealing his revolutionary legislation, and
he declares it revolutionary to revoke
his own revolutionary act.

THE radical party howl against the
Confederate Congress, as they call the
Democratic House, saying it intends to
pay the rebel war claims. But last week
Gen. Bragg, Democrat, offered reso-
luton to abolish the tribunal that has
Jurisdiction over these claims and all
war claims, and that no such claims
should be paid. When this resolution
was offered in Congress, the Radicals
rallied, and deteateda, We suppose now
we will hear no more about the Demo
Gratis being in favor of rebel claims. The
gross impudenCe of this Republican par
ty is without a precedent.

No civilized country, probably, is in as
critical situation as Russia. Her for
eign debt is immense, her financial de-
rangement horrible, her paper money
issues have beep lavish and are greatly
deprecated. OF fcourse business and la
Dor are in horrible plight, and the suf-
fering is great. All these Affections give
rise to political disturbance and mysteri'
GUS assassination. The partial failure of
the crops last year, in consequence of
drouth, adds to the suffering. Domestic
debt is also very large, and most OF the
land Of the Empire is heavily mortgaged
to bankers, and the owners are unable
to pay interest. The indications are
that Russia is on the verge OF a crisis,
and it may bring bloody revolution.

The able leaders of the Republican
party in the United States Senate have
not as yet said word in opposition to
the Army bill now pending. The lesser
lights, the little dip candles, sixteen to
the pound rave, strut and thunder in
toe index" The Mckinley bellowings
remind us of one of Esop's fables, where
a certain animal put on lions hide,
and at first scared all the other animals
away; but when he roared they discov-
cred their mistake, and on seeing his
own projecting ears, they knew his fam
lily at once.
