The Weston Democrat. [volume] (Weston, W. Va.) 1875-current, 1879-07-19


No intelligent Democrat has ever
claimed that the federal govern
mcnt should not independently anl
exclusively exercise al. the powers
conferred by the constitution and
all the amendments thereto, direct

granted powers; but they claim
the right in the States to exercise
powers not prohibited ind "ot
granted. They claim this rs L
right not granted, expressly re-
served and not comprrhcndGd or
nominated in the bond, They
claim his because they believe
these powers essential TO the we'll

our cherished syatem Of govern

crnn.cnt; but unqucstionably by
corrupting agency and maciiina-
tions in elections, We are being
brought to such subycr=ion and
ruin.
In the past the government was
rescued from like pcrils. The
great Jefferson, backed by most of
the surviving trainers of the Con-
s:itution, and the people fresh
from the building Of that ark Of
safety, oyerthrew like dangerous
party. An appeal then to reason,
and al examination into the
character Of the government adj
mouiShcd Il virtuous people Of the
danger. We may gravely ask
whether that degree Of virtue, and
regard Tor the charter of our liber-
tics now exists to give assurance
,of the rescue Of our country from
the perils which now euthrall it.
We have seen a lawfully elected
President, with decisive majority
of electoral votes, backed by Il
popular majmity of one million of
white voters, cheated and deiraul-
! ed, and the will Of the States and
tho people disregardel pya cabal
OF intriguing conspiratoFs, with
President Grant ready, with an
army to sustain them in their
notorious purpose. Our hopes are
weakened, whenwe look. back to
that event and Remember that the
conscientious Of the Republican
party, with a knowledge Of the
great guilt of the conspirators, did
not pDudiatc and .denouncc that
mcndacious d,D,With rare en-
ceptions they approved it, and
exultcd in its accomplishment.
Tic same conspirators are ready
for tho impending election, un-
abashed by their great crime-to
purchase votes and boards of cleo
ton; to employ satrap Deputy
Marshals by the thousands and
military cohorts-any thing, how
ever depravcl and migrant, to re-
tain power The very aearp and
irOef Of these men show their
capacities for the work they have
set about. They regard the sale
and purchase of conscience as an
accomplishablc feat, and their

The Extra Session and its Results.
After sitting three months and half in a
needless extra session, Congress adiourns with
no single public interest bettered by its pres
ence at the capitol. Such thing is without
parallel in the history of this government, and
one must turn to the eventless sittings in which
the continental Congress went outlike gut
tering candle to ind likeness for this utter
failure in every object for which Congress
meets or may be summoned. The appropria-
ton bills have been passed; but so they might
at an earlier stage of this session or before the
close of the last, without putting one of the
two great parties, through whose agency the
government must be carried on into the hu-
initiating attitude in which the Democratic
party stands to-day Its control of the two
chambers has proved fruitless, its prospects of
carrying Ohio which it lost when slavery be-
came q national issue and began to regain
when it ceased to be, are hopeessly gone; in
none of the small Northern States, whose cleo
toral votes must be added..to the great column
from the solid South to win in 1880, has the
Democratic party any sure sign of victory, and
the great state of New York, Democratic for
five years, is now confidently claimed by the
Republicans. 1t is a beggarly summing up of
the work of great party, when one is
forced to tabulate the result of its acts in their
influence on the next election returns, and
can point to no measures which form part OF
the historical legislation of the land. 1t is
something for party majority to pass acts
which affect the future of the country howev-
er voters may condemn or approve; but the
leaders of the Democratic party in Congress
have not even this consolation. They Joined
in policy which had no end but vote-getting,
and they have not even got the votes.
1t is idle to repeat the story of their failure.
The people were long since sick of it. With
nearly every material interest of the country
needing wise legislation, the Democrats chose
to initiate party policy altering the mere ma
chinery of government for Democratic ends
which could not be carried out without the
consent of Republican executive. This con-
sent they did not have, and in the long strug-
gle with the veto power the Democrats so man.
aged their attack as to raise the war issue at
the North, and rouse keenly the popular alb
horrence of the corruptions at the ballot-box
by which the Democrats have carried New
York city in the past. The divergence between
extreme and moderate men in carrying out
this policy has reached pass in the last
ten days which has nearly broken up the DEM
ocratic caucus and opened a broader gap be-
tween the two factions than has been seen in
the Democratic party since the electoral con-
test of 1877. Without crediting the leading
Democrats in Congress with any less than the
usual patriotism of party chiefs, it is fair to
presume that decided party success might
compensate them for the blunders of q session
by which the country had not benefited; but
they have not this satisfaction.

William H. Rust and the Belfast
Custom House.


AS we have before said, there has ALWAYS
been chronic trouble at the Age office in re-
gard to the division of the loayes and fishes.
The latest grief about that establishment re-
lates to a loss of a position in the custom-house
by the editors son. The Age complains that
the abolition of the place held by the young
man last January, was merely for the purpose
of getting rid of hfm, and also for punishing
the son for the fathers political sins. Even if
this be so, there really seems little ground for
complaint on the part of the Age That paper
has generally held political preferment to be
the reward of faithful party services. When
Rev. Mr.. Parker was deprived of his place in
the custom house and Mr.. Rusts son appointed
thereto the Age, if we remember rightly, JUS
titled the act on the ground that the deposed
official was not a Republican worker, and was
not reliable in respect to voting the full Re-
publican ticket. The understanding was that
the place was not given so much to the young
man who filled it, as a qualification to the
father, and why should not this doctrine of
rewards and punishments have two sides? 1t
is undoubtedly better to assign the real rather
than the ostensible reason for a removal; new
ertheless Judge Boardman has well settled
conviction that he was legisated out of office
in roundabout way, and that brother Rust
was accessory before the fact.
When we come to look at the matter of pub
lie expenses, too, there is also something to be
said. The pay of young Mr.. Rust was S1O95,
while the new officer will have S400. Since
State Collector Marshall took charge, the office
of inspector, which, if we remember rightly,
our neighbor of the Age defended, filed by d.
L. Pitcher, and that of a deputy at Stockton,
have been abolished. besides the salary Of two
officers reduced nearly one-half As matter
of fact, the official figures show that the whole
reduction in salaries, up to the appointment of
Mr.. Walls, amounts to S2,790. When the
further fact is stated, that the amount for sala-
ries of deputy inspectors, &C., for the entire
district is less by $1,000 than it was in 1860,
there really seems no good reason for complaint
on the score of economy.

ANNOUNCEMENT
LIFE ASSURANCE /!
MISCELLANEOUS.

The Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety of the United States makes
the following announcement to the
public:
The dissatisfaction which pre-
walls throughout the community
with regard to OnerOus conditions
contained i'm life assurance con-
tracts and the judicial decisions
based thereon, together with the
public Endorsement of the liberal
usages of this. Society, as shown
by its largely increased business,
has led the management seri-
Ously to consider whether the
contract could not be simplified
and certain conditions erased
therefrOm which have been the
subject of much criticism and
miscOnceptiOn.
After a careful examination of
the experience of some of the best
companies in Great Britain, who
have shown greater liberality
than has been customary i'm this
country, this Society feels justified
in adopting a form of contract, i'm
which the following important con-
cessiOns are made to pOlicy-hOlders
throughout the United States:
1---POlicies will be made incOn
testable after three years from
their date.
2---Each ordinary policy will
provide for definite surrender
value in paid-up assurance, in case
the policy is forfeited after three
years from its date.
3---Each TOntine policy will con-
tain definite surrender-yalue in
cash, in case of withdrawal at the
end of the T0ntine period.
4---The contract will be concise
ly and clearly expressed, contain
ing only such provisions as are
necessary to protect the policy
holders.
5---The above concessions will
hereafter enure to the benefit of
all policies already issued and in
force after three years from their
dates respectively.

THE Boston Journal blows kisses after
the retiring Congress in this fashion: ''Thus
has the revolutionary threat to starve the
Government by refusing to vote nearly $780,
100000 of appropriations shrivelled in less
than hundred days into proposition to
nullify the Federal election laws by refusing
to appropriate 100000 without conditions.
1t is not our purpose to exultover this prac-
tical back-down from the position it assumed
upon the adjournment of the last Congress
Neither is it our purpose to accord to the
Democratic leaders the least credit for what
they will hold up as a concession on their
part. They met a superior force. They
were wise enough to see that to carry out
their revolutionary threats would be simply
to invoke the wrath of the people and their
own destruction.

Mr.. ABRAHAM SANBoRN in his speech
before the Democratic Convention declared
that the act of 1865, for the purpose of
keeping peace at the polls, IS an act to make
men vote as the Republican party want
them to vote. Almost in the same breath
he said he was not aware until within few
months of the existence of this act which
has been ON the statute book for fourteen
years. That's, he asks us to believe that
the Republican party for fourteen years
compelled by law the people, without their
knowledge, to vote as it dictated, and that
so observant politician as Mr. Sanborn was
ignorant of this sad state of affairs. What
an intelligent man this Bangor statesman
must be,

Detroit Free Press; There is a man in nli-
nois who never seeks the seclusion that a bed
room grants, but prefers to retire with the
crickets and the spiders and the ants. He
doesn't believe in pampered luxury. Even
sleeping on the soft side of board is an indul-
gence which he rarely allows himself. He has
trench dug in his back yard, iu which he re-
poses after man servant has covered all but
his head with earth. He might find his posi-
tion rather uncomfortable if a number of cats
and dogs undertook to hold matinee in the
back yard some fine evening. Should he die
in the night his funeral expenses would be
very light. and this is some consolation to his
friends. Here rests his head upon the lvp of
earth, a youth to fortune and to fame unknown.
He never liked bed or steamboat berth; but
loved to sleep in the back yard, alone.

A CORRESPONDENT of the KenneJec Jour-
nal, himself soldier, makes this good pro-
posal:
Having heard many soldiers express a desire
since Mr.. Davis was nominated, that the vet
Grams of Maine should organize in his behalf,
suppose we should adopt as name for the
"knapsack." You will recollect
gor convention. where it was stated he carried
a knapsack during the war, how it was re-
ceived "Knapsack Club" don't sound bad at
all. Then let each member when parading,
wear the single chevron upon the arm of the
coat, the mark noting the rank of corporal.
Has any one better plan to suggest?
