THERE are Democrats who will do almost
anything to secure plunder for Democratic
favorite, while there are others who have
some proper regard for the public welfare,
and would not steal, openly and by virtue
of enactment, three-fourths Of million Of
dollars worth of public property to sustain
favorite politician or newspaper of the
Democratic persuasion. There are Demo-
Gratis who are tramps, knayes, and plunder-
ers, while there nre others who believe hon
esty Is the best policy, and will not stand
idly by and see the State robbed for personal
Or party aggrandisement. What relative
proportion these classes hold to each other
will be shown when vote is taken on Mr..
KNoTr's bill for giving the free use of the
Government Printing! Office to some Demo-
crat, that he may oppress labor and fatten
at the Government expense. The measure
is both bold and corrupt and win not hold
water, though it may hold very fat job.
Were it not there the vultures would be less
active.

THE great trouble with the DAVID DAVIS
movement is the inability of it's promoters
to erect a platform upon which their candi-
date can stand with safety. After they
achieve a solid basis for It, however, or an
uuderpinning equivalent in beOring-weight
to the abutments of London bridge, they
will be compelled to fence it in with high
board, picket, broken-glass mounted, sharp
spiked fence, to keep him from climbing out
into some old and familiar inclosure. This
precaution is imperatively required in view of
the well-known fact that the habtual Sooth-
ing Syrup gobbler becomes very restless on
occasion, and Eighty, as the result of either
an underdose or an overdose of that much
esteemed peryine.

but learned to go the entire swine. He
now clings to the Democratic party, but
holds the political measures which delay
the appropriations to be of very little con-

THOSE Greenbackcrs who train with the
Bourbons in Congress have become ex-

gal, and constitutional circulation among the

The New York Sun still insists that the

nominate Secretary SHERMAN next year.
Verify, the Secretary is a much prosecuted
man, and the Sun is his principal perse-
cutor Having tried to destroy him by means
of villainous ISLANDERS and willful lying,
and failed, it is now pursuing him in the
more effective, though negative, line of pre-
tentious friendship The truth is that
DANA has learned from experience that
his enmity is an advantage to our public

render any one of them an injury he in

To THE EDITOR THE HERALD
Now that the question of the free seats in our
Catholic Churches is agitated will you allow to say
few words in propoatop As extensive traveller
through the Continent of Europe I have necessarily
seen and entered great many churches. and have
observed that these churches as much for tho
poor for the rich. I have resided for many years
in New York city, but have ceased to wonder.
especially of late years. where the real poor class go
to hear mass. In France and Italy the Catholic
churches open their portals and invite lovingly to
enter and ALL the beggar and the rich man.
Here what contrast is offered to our observaionl
In New York churches it is the custom to crowd
many pews in as the ground space will allow Of
and each pew carries its face its own particular
number. In Europe it is a avis to any pews.
The churches vast temples In which the people
adore their God regardless of position but knecling
down in in the shadow of o vast pillar
far more devout than they could be should they be
constrained to occupy pew and feel themselves
there is no payment for ses.c and during
years residence abroad have ycr in single
instance paid except in the Cathedral Of Milan when
bought chair for one In this city l
have had seat without paying for it. and have
always marveed where the poorer class go to If they
not think that ''Truth" has overdrawn the picture
in the Church of the Epiphany. know that in the
church where attend one cannot sit at any mass
without paying There are two collectons-thc FIRST
is for the payment Of seats the second for some
thing else. win not it be q most excel
lent plan to have one Of your reporters
take turn and visit the different churches and md
out how many seats are freey This would be bless
ing the poor, who could thereby ascertain where
they can hear without standing in the door
way. Il, MIR. Editor You will influence this move
ment 1t will indeed be thing well done. Will you
il the poor-who have raised the Cathedral
by their untiring zeal and subscrptions-will have
free access to its interior?
BY inserting this you will confer great favor on
unbiased reader and perhaps aid in Graduating
extensive evil. TRAVELLER.

arm around my waist and dragging me out OF the

pap, don't know what II means ana never heard
of it before unless it means papa and it is long

present, said: ~ was treated in the IL not
manner myself. had only five cents and in
sisted entering to hear mass, but because I
wouldn't or couldn't pay fifteen 1 not alone
