KEYSTONE STA TESMANSHiP

Congress was awfully disturbed by
the bad behavior of two Pennsylvania
members, on. Friday last, while in Com
mittee of the whole, u bill was reached
on the private calendar to increase tho
pension of an Indian soldier aud to
date the increase back to the time when
the disability actually occurred.
Mr.. White, of Pennsylvania, attacked
the policy of dating the increase OF
pensions back, whereupon Mr.. Browne,
of Indiana, and others thought it was
rather ungracious for Pennsylvania
to object to these claims, in view OF the
fact that large number of cases on
the calendar were for pensions to the
soldiers of Pennsylvania. Every soldier
of Pennsylvania seemed to have filed
an application for pension
Mr.. Reagan suggested that perhaps
the protective tariff laws operated 80
hardly upon these people that they
could not get along without a pension
Mr., Bayne, of the Pittsburgh dis
trct, said the reason why so many
Pennsylvania claims were upon the
calendar was because the Pennsylva-
MIA delegation, with the single excep'
ton of Mr.. White, had been earnest in
presenting the claims of their oonsti
tuenLs. His colleague, Mr. White, op.
posed these claims, and there was not
on the calendar a single bill that he
had introduced.
Mr.. White denounced as false the
imputation that he had not attended
to the interests Of constituents.
We notice by the Washington cor
respondents, to their journals, that the
conduct of Bayne and White was ont
rageous but loyal

WRATHV.--Tho editor of the Pitts
burgh Dispatch, one ol the Radical or
gans of Allegheny county, is really
mad over the pardon business in the
case Of Kemble & Co., and breaks out
in this way:
1t is idle to criticize this infamous act Of oil
cials representing the dominant party In a great
State. ~ every phase 10 patent to every one
who reads. Not rspulsiVe feature Of Il bui
stands out in bold relief. The effect upon tn,
party Is trivial consideration, II would seem
that the moral sense Of the public must crush any
party whose representatives. could engage In such
bold and unblushing attempt to thwart the
operation Of the Law, but this Is foreign TO the
principle involved. The sum Of the Whole trans
action h that crime has triumphed over the Stat,
Gozpynment.
We are not personally acquainted
with the editor in question. but the
foregoing reads very much like Radical
obuncombe," and we will put it down
as such, although it sounds like the
naked truth.

tion in London. The appointment OF
two Roman Catholics to Office under
the new ministry has evoked good deal
i'll feeling This seems silly to us, but
when we remember that Church and
State are united in the English system,
we are not surprised that Gladstone's
liberty Is viewed with alarm. Among
the reforms which England most needs
is the complete divorce of Church and
State ard the secularization of a vast
amount of church property, Machine
religion is humbug, wherever you
find it. Church and State has no more
right to be linked together, than man
has to marry three or more wives, or
woman to marry score of husbands.
Just as soon as Church and State join
on this Continent, the "Virtue, Liberty
and Independence" will take wings.
