Congress and the Executive, announcer
that the Democratic party hid resolved
TO stop the Government unless the fresi-
dent consented TO Violate his conslitu-
tlonal obligation by signing bill OF which
he did not approve II that is the determine
ton of the Democratic party, the people wish
to know it. But Mr.. Beck, having uttered
the threat. seems to be afraid of repeating It,
He evaded Mr.. Hoar's questions. lie mace
repeated attempts to turn the discussion To-
ward other topics. He shuiiied; he gre"
angry; he took refuge mt last III Obstinate
silence.
What is the matter7 Mr.. Beck has been
Thought manly and brave. 1t Is not
manly, TO skulk from the responsibility
of his own words. 1t is not brave
to indulge in sounding threats, and when they
are repeated to pretend that he has said some
thing different and much milder when ne
declared that the caucus meant to stop the
Government if the President vetoed the repeal
of tbe election laws, was he announcing the
real purpose of his party or was he only talk
inc big. in the hope of frightening the Re
publicans? If the revolutionary purpose OF
the marty was what he declared it to be, Is
that purpose still entertained III s0' why Is
he afraid TO acknowledge It'll II 1t has been
abandoned, why is not the change OF res0lu-
ton honestly avowed3 These are questions
TO which the country will have an answer.
Mr.. Beck and his associates may as
well understand that, whatever political mis-
fortunes may befall us, the United states
will never again, under any circumstances,
submit TO be governed by braggadocio. Inc
day for that sort of legislation passed long
ago. If the plantation Democracy attempt
TO rule us by threats. they shall make their
words good. or they shall eat them.
The countI calls upon these men now to
show of what stuff they are made. They tried
q revolution in 1861, and they were whipped.
They threatened another in 1oGS, when
they nominated man for the Vice
Presidency because he proposed to over
throw all the reconstructed State govern
ments by force of arms; but that menace OF
war was ANONYMOUSLY extinguished under
the tremendous majority for General Grant.
They threatened revolution again In lol6-'U
because they were not allowed to thrust Mr..
Tilden into the Presidency after the failure
of the attempts to buy it for him, and that
Instruction died in disgrace like school
bows riot. What do they mean this time?
They have told us that they will stop the
public supplies, starve the Army and Navy,
dsband tho whole force Of Government
officials, close the Federal courts, extinguish
the lights on the coasts, if we do not con-
sent to the repeal of the election laws. Well,
our answer is prompt and pOsitive-We will
not consent. Now begin your revolution, if
Won dare.

The scene in the Senate on Wednesday,
when Mr. Hoar, after a remarkable display
of patience and pert-naciy, extOrted from
Mr. Beck what was tantamOunt to a surly
acknowledgment of his own words, will not
soon be forgotten. Senator HOar was sus-
tanned by the whole loyal North The threat
which Mr.. Beck uttered at the beginning of
the session has made an impression upon the
country which the Kentucky gentleman was
probably not prepared for. And the country
is determined to know just what it means.

Democratic caucus, which seems to have
taken upon itself all the functions OF

GOOD YORK BEGUN IN GOOD SEASON.
The good women who have been interested
for the last two or three years iii sending des-
titute sick children out of NewYOrk to the
seaside during the Summer appeal for aid to
erect extensive barracks in connection with
their large building at Rockaway Beach, so
that they may accommodate thousands OF
little ones instead of hundreds. There Is no
doubt that they will get the money. Nothing
can be calculated upon with more certainty
than the generosity of the American public to
any charity, especially enc which is to help
children. Six years ago proposal to
take pauper child and its mother to the sea-
shore in August would have been regarded as
an absurd QuiXotism now, in all OF the sea-
board cities there are innumerable plans for
systematically giving to this class OF our poor
once a year the breath of fresh air and
glimpse of Nature which arc essential to
healthy life both of soul and body, and all OF
these plans have received hearty and ample
support. The sanitariums in the mountains
and at the seaside have been filed to over
flowing. Twenty thousand children and
mothers have been received and cared for by
the single organization now asking for aid.
Thousands have been entertained by chaflta-
bic farmers. The hospitals provided by the
free excursion societies in Philadelphia and
elsewhere receive many more. Summer homes
for sick babies, for wOrkingwOmen and many
other classes have sprung up out OF this
movement. There can be no doubt that the
mortality among children in the Summer III
this and other cities has been greatly reduced
bv these means,
We regret that the leaders of the association
extensive barracks for the accommodation
of the children. 1t is probably the cheapest
method of establishing hospital, especially
one occupied for only part OF the year; but
we doubt if it be the healthiest Masses OF
pauper and sick children and women freshly
removed from the alleys and tenement-houses
of town, in the hottest month of the year,
must bring communicable disease with them,
which even the fresh breezes Off the sea VIII
not remove. The separate cottage system,
though more costly, would be much better in
sanitary point Of view. 1t Is the tendency
in this country to effect all reforms, educa-
tional or charitable, in the mass. Scholars,
prisoners and patients are conTegated IN
immense buildings, and operated on by
platoons. IN England this system has long
ago been abandoned, where practicable, for
separate treatment, especially for diseases OF
body or mind. Humanitaiians are class,
however, who always learn wisdom by eX-
perience, and not by advice.
Contributions for this purpose may be sent

The Talmage tual witnessed its most ex-
citing and most extraordinary episode yester-
day when Mr.. Talmage, who has just char
acterized Mr.. nathaway's testimony as " the
" greatest pack of falsehOOds he had ever
"beard," declined to vindicate himself at the
expense of the latter's character, announced
that the whole thing had been settled"
and offered him the hand of Christian fellowship,
while Mr.. Hathaway responded in like manner
and Mr.. Talmage's counsel pronounced the
spectacle glorious one. Meanwhile the fem
mime spectators audibly called one of the rev.
erend sneakers III the debate liar, and men
who speak of one another habitually rs
brethren showed much bitterness of temper.

and deceit cannot be settled" by a
Handwriting between the defendant and
one OF the witnesses. Mr. Hathaway
has accused Mr.. Talmage of several grave
matters. and Mr.. Talmage has responded

t;on of the respective charges, is matter OF

No doubt the Stanley-Hazen court-martal is en-
Pertaining to Army men, and the general public
naturally feels considerable interest in an affair
which brings together so many Of the heroes
of the war and gives them an occasion to describe
he battles in which they bore a conspicuous part.
II Is not often in these davs of peace, when our
little military force is scattered far and wide along
our coasts and Indian frontiers, that the General
in-Cmef, the Lleutenant-Geueral, two of the three
major-gcnerals. two of the six bugadeTs, and
half dozen colouels meet, as they did yesterday,
as witnesses or members of the Court. 4 sight OF
the qrav hairs and furTowed faces Of these gallant
men will ever be welcome to all who believe that
the war for the Union was a war for the right, and
that il left behind lessons the country should be
slow to forget Still il seems rather absurd that so
many officers of high rank should be summoned
from their duties in various parts of the
land TO settle a personal quarrel between
two colonels both of whom have excellent records,
and are widely known and respected men Of high
character. Colonel Stanley and Colonel Hazen
may have poor opinion of each other, but the
country has a good opinion of both of them. 1t
bases its opinion on the recorded history of the
share they took in putting down the rebellion, and
nothing brought out at this late day. fourteen years
after the war closed will be likely to change it. If
tho court-maria could cut the red tape Of military
rules and persuade the two officers auaigncd before
# TO bury their animosites and shake hands across
it's table, it would win the applause OF the Army
and the public.

Alderman Shells developed yesterday as the
supreme day's-labor' lunatic The Corpora
ton Counsel long ago gave the Board OF Alder
men to understand that they had no authority to
prescribe that public work should not be done
10y contract but Mr.. Shells persisted in attaching
TO almost every resolution passed yesterday
contemplating work, a provision that 1t be
done by days labor" and even directed "a
property owner who asked permission to relay
his sidewalk to do it in that way. Mr.. Shells
is paid $1,000 year by the City of New
York for devoting himself to fOolshness of
this sort, and no doubt manages to make votes
into the bargain. The Shells style of Alder
man is powerful argument for the speedy
passage of Mr.. Deane's bill reducing the salary
of the Office by One-half.
Time was when Democratic Senators did not
quote from the speeches of William ii. Sew
ard with appreciation and delight and least
of all did they do it in the days of bleeding
kansas" But Mr.. Beck, who has positive
genius for blundering has lately been parad-
ing a passage from one of Mr.. Stewards Senate
speeches as a rebuke to the military despotlSm
whose existence the Democratic party has just
discovered, after having lived under 1t for
sixteen years. Senator Teller yesterday added
another decoration to MIR. Beck's fools cap by
reminding the Senate of the true bearing OF
that speech. 1t was protest against Dem
ocratic scheme to use the United States Army
for the purpose of enforcing laws OF the Ter
ritOrial Legislature of Kansas, which were
hostile to free speech-something very different
from the Interpretation which the Kentucky
Senator sought to give it. The Democratic
caucus should take in another reef in Mr.
Beck.

The directors Of the proposed bridge from New

for an extension OF the time allowed by their
charter for the realization of the enterprise, and a

granted any further facilities for getting away

has taken firm possession of some leglslaton'

THE RUSSIAN PLAGUE.

Nearly every day tho cable brings us some
vague reports as to the progress of the
plague in Russia, but SO meagre are they
that we can form but slight idea of how
prevalent it is. The fact, however, that the
Russian government has adopted the most
vigorous means to stay its spread-has sur
rounded the infected district by strong
Gordon Of troops which permits neither en-
trance or egress-indicates that the disease
is of far graver character than the official
bulletins make it appear. Thus far we have
seen no diagnosis of the disease. Indeed,
the physicians confess their entire inability
to diagnose it. It resembles in some re-
spects the great plague that devastated Lon
don in 1856 and at several previous periods,
yet it differs from that in some respects
radically. 1t is quite as fatal, however, less
than ten per cent. Of those who are attacked
recovering their health. The duration of
dying in great agony, the body being cover
ed with black spots and swellings, the
patient during it's progress being attacked
with violent internal pains and vomiting.
The insalubrious regions around the Cas-
plan Sea have been the breeding places OF
the plague in all past times. From those
regions it has spread all over Europe, car
rying death to hundreds of thousands OF
people. In single week fifty thousand per.
soma died Of II IN London alone in 1a4
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1879-02-01

while during its last visit to that metropolis
in 1866 nearly seventy thousand persons
persisted. It is therefore expedient that the
Russian government should adopt rigorous
M asures to stay its progress. But it is
doubtful whether the human Gordon that has
been established around the stricken locality
will be effective. In all probability the refu.
gees from the spots affected will COM
munlcate the disease to the soldiery,
and they in turn to people outside
the lines, and thus allow it to spread through
out Europe. Such result, at any rate, is
greatly to be feared.
Unlike all other epidemics, the plague
does not depsnd upon climatic influence
for it's propagation. Il thrives in al sorts of
weather, and after it has once got fairly I'M
der way invades all countries, seemingly,
alike. It is less susceptible to control than
any other disease known to nlan, for medi
cal men know comparatively nothing of it's
cause, prevention or cure. Hitherto it has
been allowed to wear itself QUITO disap-
pear when no more victims were to be had.
It would be q terrible cailmi5y indeed if it
should be permitted to stalk over Europe at
will, for no country could hops to escape it's
ravages. We trust that thu efforts now
being made will be effectual in arresting
its progress and combining it to the narrow
limits in which it at present ia.
