WHAT TIE PAPERS SAY.

Since the Republicans have obtained
control of Congress it is estimated that
over nine hundred million dollars worth
of rebel claims" have been presented
and are being pushed for payment. The
Democratic Congress put a stop to this
kind of work, and drove the claim sharks
and the lobby from the halls of the Capt.
tOl, but it has commenced again under
Republican auspices. This fact is very
significant (IOwa) Gazette
(Dem.)
A Cincinnati journal takes leave of
the Columbus Legislature with the re-
mark that 1.-The smut-mill closes its
doors and the demnitiOn grind has ended
for a season." Two of the members
were indicted by the grand jury for ac-
cepting hribes, and well-gTOunded sus-
piciOn of corruption existed as to other
members. Yet it was highly moral
and particularly loyal assembly. 1t
passed a bill requiring license fee of
$500 from all saloons in addition to
what they might pay in the ordinary
course of taxation; it made strict Sab
batarian law, and redistricted the State
so as to give the opposition but five of
the twenty-One districts. 1t, therefore,
receives the cOmmendatiOn of Deacon
Smith, and dies happy.-ChicagO Times

ArKINLEY-LAUBIE.


A Square Denial by MajOradcKinley.
The Repository yesterday, contained
the correspondence between Congress
man Mckinley, Aultman and Laubie.
The first letter from Laubie to Mckinley
is dated March 4th, 1882. In answer to
this the following extracts are taken
from McKinley's letter, dated March 7th:
"For months you have been engaged
in circulating the story thatI had agreed
with you not to be candidate for Con-
gress in 'S2. have not hesitated, upon
all proper occasions, to characterize the
statements as untrue. Inever expressly
or by implication promised you that |
would not be candidate for Congress in
1882"
This puts the matter at issue, and in
this connection we again refer to the
affldavits in this paper sworn to by re-
putable Columbiana county Republi-
cans. Mr.. Aultman and Laubie are also
at issue.

A CONTEMPORARY makes a point on the
Chinese question:
Senator Vest made it a point against
the Chinese that they take $45, 100000
annually from California, put it in their
breeches pocket and carry it off to China.
AS there are about 100000 Chinese in the
State, this would make the savings $3.50
per annum for each labOrer, exclusive
of the expenses of his living. But does
this statement consist with the accusa-
tiOn of cheap labor? How many COM
mon labOreTs of native birth lay up $3.50
annually?-[RepOsitOry.
The Chinese Mckinley organ might
also state that there are Chinese capital
lists, merchants, &C., in California who
are shrewd and capable and who make
money. The labOrers, too, are largely in
the service of the Chinese companies
andare in fact COOlie slaves. 1t may be,
therefore, that Senator Vests point is
we'll taken and may square with the
cheap labor statement. The Chinese are
not there as settlers-nOt there to build
up California.

THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN

Is already becoming red hot, though
it is long before the election. Affidavits
are published at Richmond that the
American Bank Note Company gave Ma
hone 5000 for his canvass last fall. The
return was to be in printing reputation
bonds, and charging the $1,000 in the
bill for the State to pay. This was all
right according to the Malone gospel.
Nothing BOurban about this.
Representative DezendOrf, Republican,
of the Norfolk district, made speech in
Washington last week, complaining he
had been badly treated by Arthur, and
added:
He intended to continue his opposition
to the Republican coalition with Malone,
which was sure to damage the National
Republican party. He said 1T could not
be right to force 100000 Republicans to
submit to the dictatiOn of 10000 Demo-
Gratis in order that the leaders of these
Democrats should hold the offices. The
Republican State Senators lwhO had re-
fused to vote for the Malone AppOrtiOn-
ment bill would never swerYe from their
position.
Washington special commenting on
this speech says:
There are many other Republicans
here, and of eminence, who are fast be-
ginning to appreciate the truth of Mr..
DeZendOTf's statement as to the damage
inflicted upon their party by the Malone
alliance, although the President still
continues to pour into the lap of Mr..
Malone the Federal patronage in Vir-
ginia. Mr.. John s. Wise, one of Mr.. Ma
homes strongest supporters, has been
nominated as United States Attorney
for the Eastern district of Virginia, and
Mr.. Rutledge P. Hughes as United States
Marshal for the same district. Mr..
Hughes is Republican readjuster, and
at present clerk of Mecklenburg County
Court.
Under the caption of TRAITORS and
Treason, the Richmond Whig, the organ
of Senator Malone, in a two column
editorial, indulges in an abusive arraign-
ment of the Readjusters who baked the
purpose of Malone during the recent
session of the Virginia Legislature. The
Whig declares that ex-AuditOr Massey
"was always tricky-a jumping beast
whom no fence was ever yet able to hold, "
and then it takes mp the anti-bOss Sena-
tors in detail, and scores them with
bitter invective; but as these Senators
resisted the Establishments of bribes
they will hardly be affected by the raw
ings of MahOne's organ, which lost $780,
900 by their defeat of newspaper job in
the State Senate.
SAThe Washington Post in a review of
the situation in the State says:
There will be no complications in the
coming fight. MahOne's candidate for
COngressman-at-large will not be able to
go down into that stronghold of Read
justment, southwestern Virginia, and
tell the white people of that section that
he is ReadjusteT Democrat, and then
invade the negro counties around Peters,
burg preaching the doctrines of radical
Republicanism.
Opposed to him will be Democrat who
runs as Democrat and will vote as a
Democrat beneath the dome of the Capt.
tOl. No man doubts the result.
The Democratic and Republican ad-
dresses to the people will soon be issued,
when the fight will begin in earnest to
be continued for a while quietly, but
without cessation, until November.

GOVERNOR PLAIsTED, of Maine, cannot
please his Republican council, for this
body rejects. every appointment for Su-
preme Court Judge, although he has
named some of the ablest lawyers of that
State. The Democrats of the United
States Senate do not treat Arthur's ap-
pointments in this way; nor did they so
treat Garfeld's. If they were to act as
do the Republicans of the Maine cOun-
Gil, great howl would go up about
their embarrassing the Government.

THE Republican leaders, whenever
driven to corner OF encountering a
troublesome question, howl up war
memories and yell "rebel," sc. Last
week in the United States Senate de-
bate took place over the bill to repeal
section 1918 of the Revised Statutes,
which prohibits those connected with
the rebellion from holding position in
the United States army. Senator Ed
mnnds said he regarded it as an effort
of the Democrats to repeal legislation
intended to maintain the results of the
war. He spoke of the attempts of the
Democrats in the last Congress to re-
peal the war legislation by means of
riders on appropriations, and said he
was ready now and at all times to meet
and resist these efforts of the Demo
Gratis. Messrs. Beck and Vest made
speeches from the Democratic side,
claiming that the sentiment of the
country is ayerse to maintaining war
memories.

UNDER the Pond law, druggists can
sell liquor only upon the prescription of
lawfully authorized physician.-Re-
pOsitOry.
Where is the law in Ohio constituting
lawful physiciansP" Who is claw
fully authorized physician?" In Ohio
we have no registration of physicians.
And again, if a man calls at a drug
store with prescription from Pitts
burg physician, or one in Omaha, the
druggist would hardly refuse to fill it,.
"The medical fraternity" then, is nom
legality-a myth. In law, there is no
such thing.
In Ohio too, we have no lawfully
authorized" drug stores. A drug store,
so called, comes not within the province
of the Pond law, and can sell ad libitum;
and plenty of them will be ready to do
80, taking advantage of the opportunity,
as they have done in Maine and else
where. We repeat, if the liquor traffic
is to be suppressed, let there be no ex-
ception. Down with all special privi-
leges and monopoly in this, as we'll as
in currency and tariff. The fathers
of this Republic aimed to have a sys-
tenn of government of equal and just
laws-all persons standing equal before
the law. The Pond law is only another
step in the line of monopoly.

The Kansas City Times says: "If it
be true, as Gen. Joe Shelby believes it,
that Jesse James was one of the immOr-
tai 3O6 at the Chicago Convention of
1880, we can understand why the Chi
cago Inter-Ocean was so frey in de-
nouncing the manner of his taking off,
which even -yerged on lamentations
that he was killed at all; Moreover, If
it proves true that Jesse was a Grant
delegate from Mississippi the Republi-
can press, which has expended so much
cheap wit about Jesse's Democratic
leadership, will have to eat their own
words and nauseau."
