IS Capitalization"

The single issue upon which the
Democratic party has been supposed to
be harmonious and united, is that of
the rights of States, as opposed to what
has been called centralization, q term
which nine out of ten of them had not
the slightest idea of the meaning of,
and which those who did not under
stand it thought of only as party cry
and bugbear. They were notoriously
at odds among themselves upon all
other questions-currency tariff, banks,
internal improvements, subsidies
everything in fact that it is possible for
individuals to differ about or parties to
divide on. Upon this one subject they
were generally credited with being per-
fectly harmonious. The rights of the
States as independent sovereignties,
and the danger to free institutions from
the centralizing tendencies of the Gem
eral Government under Republican rule
are themes they never tire of. This is
their common rallying ground. They
come back to it from all their hot dis
putes and noisy quarrels; and SO long
as they can confne themselves to its
glittering generalities and talk about
!" Jeffersonian Democracy" they seem
thoroughly at one with each other and
solid against their opponents. They
differ very widely, to be sure, when
ever they undertake to put in practice
their anti-centralization theories, for
the reason that some of them who want
for their deestricks"
from the Federal Treasury have one
view of centralization, and others who
have to run on the entrenchment and
economy dodge have different;still they
agree, or have agreed heretofore, that
is dangerous to all we
hold dear, and that the Republicans
ought to be put down because OF these
tendencies.
But now comes by far the ablest, If
not the most active and influential
Democrat in the country-Mr. Charles
the startling PROPOSE
ton that so tar from there being any
danger to free institutions from the
Capitalization of power in the General
Government and Federal interference
with the sovereign States, the very op-
posite is the truth; that the thing to do
Is not to check the centralizing ten
dency, but to hasten it, and place all
power in the Federal Government; not
to strengthen the separate States, but
totally abolish them; do away entirely
with all the machinery of State Govern
ments which the Democratic party has
been glorifying at such rate ever
since the days Of Jefferson. He scouts
the notion of the infallibility of the
Fathers of the Republic, which there
has been SO much Democratic mouthing
about whenever that party wanted to
take advantage of some weakness in
their work to usurp power or steal an
Office, and freely criticises their work
as something inadequate and not sell
dom mischievous. Speaking of the
States as separate sovereignties. he
says: THAT multitude of such gov
ernments, each set up in q geographi-
cal fragment of the Nation, and sur
mounted by another spread out over
the whole, could, through their clash
ing and conflicts, prevent or even miti-

THE CAPITOL BARRIERS.
How 1t Happens that Senators
are Shaved Free and Re
representatives. Not.

Washington Star.l
A paragraph to the effect that Uni
ted States senators are shaved at pub
lie expense while representatives pay
for their shaving has been going the
round Of the press, and it may not be
an. iss TO give some information rela-
tive to the congressional tonsoTial
establishments. In each end Of the
capitol are handsomely fitted up bath
rooms, the one in the senate end "ex-
clusively for senator" and the other
exclusively for members Of the
house" In the senate bath room is a
barber. shop; the chair and all the
appointments being Of an expensive
and luxurious style. The man who
has charge Of the bathrooms is a
barber and manipulates the razor and
hair brush, the latter only upon sena-
tors who are not bald.headed. Sena-
tors and few officers of the senate
are the only persons who can enjoy
the tousorial privileges Of this
shop. The barber is a regular EN-.
ploye of the senate, under the
mead of skilled labOrer," and there
fore receives no pay for shaving sena-
tors. A barber-shop is maintained in
one of the house cloak rooms, but it
is an individual enterprise, aud every
one who gets shaved there, from a
member of congress down, must pay
the regular price. All the appoint
ments Of this shop belong to the man
who runs it, and he is allowed room
rent free in the cloak room, because
tie members find it convenient to
have a barber-shop right at hand
1t is true that senators get shaved free
while representatives pay for their
shayes, but the explanation given is
about as follows. That the man who
has charge Of the house bathrooms
gets the same pay as the one who man
ages the senate bathing apartments,
I but the latter is required to be bar
Der in order that be may shave the
senators; that the senate barber-shop
is a part Of the bath rooms, and, with
this attachment, the senate bathing
department does not cost any more
per year than that Of the house. In
other words, while the senators get
shaved free, it does not, with baths
thrown in, cost the government any
more than the house bathing-rooms
alone. The custom of having a bar
ber-shop attached to the senate bath
room was inaugurated in 1862, and
has been kept up ever since.
