No Democrat need hesitate to stand
on the following, which is q plank
in the Minnesota Democratic plat
form adopted last Friday: "The Unit
ed States is an indissoluble union Of
States. The Federal Government is
supreme within the limits given by
the Constitution and its amendments,
the powers not thereby conferred up.
on it nor prohibited to the States re-
spectively or to the people. The
preservation in their separate integ.
rity of the joint powers ofthe Union,
and Of the States as parts of the har.
monious whole; the maintenance of
the national authority and local
self-government, as well as is essen.
tial to the perpetuity Of our free in
stitutions."
Again these genuine Democrats
say: "We hold the Democratic max
i'm that government is best which
governs best, which bestows upon
the citizens the greatest personal lib
erty consistent with the public peace
and welfare, And while it affords
protection to life and property leaves
the creeds, habits, customs and bust
ness of the people, unfettered by
sumptuary laws, class legislation, or
exorbitant monopoIies."
There are volumes of patriotism
and Democracy in these two resolu-
tions,

The Arinister's salary.

Editor Register: Willvou pleasegiye
the following extract, clipped from
the Southern Caurclnlan, a prominent
place in your paper; not as referring
or rejecting more upon any especial
congregational than another, but with
the hope thatit may attract the at
tention of all the congregations Of
this place. BY the same token that
prophet is not without power save
in his own country, as this was writ
ten BY assfapger to us, it ought to
be reviewed as truth. lfthe shoe fits
do not cast it aside:
The pastors salary should be paid
promptly:
1. Because the minister is occupied
with spiritual things, therefore an
adequate support should be given,
and promptly paid.
2. We maintain that the minister
requires bread and meat toliyeupon
as other men; clothing for his body;
books for his library, and various 9th
er creature comforts. His children
require education, and demand de-
cent apparel His wife must be SO
clothed that she may be able to 60
among gfmilies Of the congrega-
ton without being abashedH on ac-
count ofsherappearance. If he has
no wife, he is entitled toone, and can
therefore lay a solid claim tohersup.
port also. a5a
4 8. We argue from the explicit dec.
larations Of Gods Word, that the
minister is entitled to a support;
"They that preach the Gospel should
live Of the Gospel" and many like
passages,
4. Not only is he entitled to the
promise Of such support, but it should
be promptly paid.
5. To decline to contribute accord.
ing to ones ability is lcrong.
6. To decline to pay what has been
promiseais dishonest Hf
Z. To put off the payment Of the
subscription to the pastors salary
until all other obligations are met
and all personal and family expen.
SEES likewise, We also characterize as
dishonesty.
s. The interests Of a mans soul
are more important than. the temper
al interests of his family, and he
who does not support the Gospel, OIL
its messengers, wrongshis own soul
The conclusion reached cannot be
questioned, viz, that the pastors sal
arg should be paid, Church Messenger

Chinese immigration. The returns
will show majority against the
Chinese that ought to satisfy the

Of one hundred and sixty thousand,
there will not be over one thousand

The Washington Post says: A pri,
vate letter was received in this: city
from Senator Thurman, yesterday
conveying the gratifying informa.
ton, which is authoritative in the
proportion that it was intended to be
personal, that there now exists but
little doubt in Ohio Of the election of
Gen. Ewing and the whole of the
Democratic State Ticket on the 14th
prox' The Democratic boom has
been gaining strength during the
best part Of the last three weeks, and
is now considered to be irresistible.
Unless something happens in the
way of a decided reaction between
now and the day of election-two
weeks hence-Judgo Thurman is
positive in his opinion that Ewing
will be elected. OF the Legislature
he expresses himself as it is in no
sort Of doubt. 1t will have a Demo,
cratic majority beyond peradyen'
ture.

The Republicans have greatly mod.
flied their extravagant boasts Of Eos
ter's majority in Ohio, and they are
now forced to admit that the contest
will be a close one, while the Demo
Gratis have become confident that
Ewing will beat Foster. Good hon
est hard work in this canvass is &C
complishing its usual result. The
wavering are settling down on the
Democratic side and a Democratic
majority in the Ohio Legislature is
now almost certainty, and Ewing's
chance for election is much better
than Fosters. The same is true of
New York. Democrats were at first
somewhat scared by the Tammany
bolt, but now are able to see that the
party is stronger without the aid of
the boiling Tammany leaders than
with it, and appreciate the wisdom
Of the New York convention in dis
carding them. The party is better
ana purer, and will win more votes
from other sources, than it will lose
by the Tammany bolt. Republicans
who were encouraged by the nomin-
alton of the Tammany candidate for
Governor, are beginning to see that
it will do them no good, and are get
ting dispirited. Under its new CON
troll the Democratic organization is
being rapidly perfected throughout
the State, and the party is filled with
enthusiasm. The best judges assert
that the Democratic vote in New
York outside the city will be much
larger this year than was ever known
before. With New York and Ohio
both in the Democratic line this
year, what chance have the party of
fraud to elect President next year?
