Poor Indianal She fiattered herself that
she had elected the president, and when
her unselfish sons went to Washington
last March to claim their rewards, they
thought they had but to mention the thing
they wanted, and, behold it was given
them. But more Hoosiers have been put
out of office than have been put in; and
great is the howl from the State.
The office seekers are rubbing their eyes
in vain attempt to discover why these
things are so.

Suppose we had protective tariff in
every state in this Union, in regard to the
trade with the sister states; Does anyone
suppose that it would benefit one single
state? Rather it would be detriment to
all, why then should not what is true OF
the states, be true of the world. The diff
ferent governments under which the states
exist, does not prevent free trade from
being an advantage to each state. Why
should then the mere fact that the different
countries of the globe are under separate
governments make any change in the rule:
The lawyers form q majority of the mem
bers of Congress. If they should pass a
law taxing all people for the support of
lawyers how long would the people stand
it? Yet that is what is done for the man
ufacturers.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-04-26

Taking one consideration with another
it is a matter of very little consequence
what the senate does do now. They are
paid by the year and although the work
they are now doing could hardly be called
earning their salary, yet it does not cost
the country any more to keep them. Then
there is no further reason for the people tC
grumble about the spectacle their highest
representative body can make of itself, fol
they have been in session long enough tC
show fully the sublime idiocy OF
such course and any further acts
of theirs will be simply in the line of GU
mulative evidence which, for lack of any
rebutting, is totally unnecessary, To be
sure some of the nominees are now living
in anything but quiet state of mind as
they review their comparative chances of
rejection or confirmation; but the average
politician is generally in that state, and
they are used to it and can stand it. No
appropriations depend on the Senate, and
the wheels of government move along very
easily, in spite of the deadlock. In fact
the fact of their doing nothing is so imma-
terial that people will begin to wonder
what we want of a Senate anyhow.

The Chicago Times wants to dissolve the

up the solid South in order to strengthen
the Democratic party. The solid South is
a fact an unfortunate one perhaps, but il
exists. The causes that led to its exist
ence are many. Some have been taken
away. 1t would be advisable that they all
should. But to say that. in order to stop
