Congressman attending his funeral
as If it were a merry occasion. and
making beasts of themselves. Funeral
occasions are not the time for drunken
orgies
But aside from the disgrace, Cons
gressmen have no right to appro-
pirate money out of the public treas
ury to pay for their whisky and
cigars. They have no right to get
drunk at any time and neglect their
public business, but when they
compel the taxpayers to pay for
their sprees, it is little bet
ter than theft. We trust
that these bills will not be allowed
to pass without the most rigid
scrutiny. Let the guilt be fixed
where it belongs, and the outrage be
thoroughly exposed. 1t will involve
some unpleasantness, but Represen-
tatives in Congress owe it to them
selves and to the country to bring
out the facts and provide a remedy
against such evils. Members of
Congress have just as much right to
appropriate public money to pay
their board as to buy their whisky
and cigars.

The Wickedest Man.
New York Letter.

When Oliver Dyer sought out a
man for his sketch of the wickedest
man in New York he selected John
Allen, the dogefghter-the type of
the british sport and the protector
of thieves and thugs. Now such a
sketch would have for its subject not
the keeper of a lowdown gin mill,
but man of accomplishments, a
leader of fashion in the fast set, a
I CHI meu who had hopelessly fallen
from that preferred realm Of re-
spectability where the true self is
hidden behind the veil made of the
good opinion Of men and a fair
rating iu the commercial re-
spects, who has no respect
for virtue, except for its market
value, whose fears vice only because
of its possibilities of pulling tug
ger upon it, or weaving network
of destruction about his career, who
can deal with equa nimity with the
/ ngs of cline for SCI vice from their
subjects, and can plan the ruin of a
young man or woman as coolly as he
cen make bets upon a horse race,
who can cor1 apt with as little con
science rs he ecu make his toilet, aud
can build up backing of Judges,
lawyers, politicians, itch club meu,
and even preachers, who can be
counted upon for service at a pinch.
Such is undoubtedly the type of the
wiokedest man of New York
to>day. The Bowery tough
with a broadcloth coat and a
plug hat, that in response to
Thackery's remark that he wanted to
go to Grand street, said: "Well, go
right along, sonny, but hurry home, "
passed away in the wake of the old
volunteer fire department. The
Owney Geoghans and John Aliens
are natural members of metropoli-
tan life as camp-followers are of an
army. They are dangerous, like
snakes and tarantulas-if you go
where they are, but if you keep out
of their path they will keep out of
yours. The modern wickedest man
of New York has the appearance of a
gentleman, and might take seat in
the Concord School of Philosophy
without exciting other comment than
that he is a New Yorker. But he is
more dangerous in his communicating
effects upon society than any of his
predecessors in the cities of the
world in wickedness.

interest of the "party" requires it
They are waiting for a
courageous leader to stand UP
and fight for the common
honesty of the people who ins
habit the State of Tennessee. The
reputation of readiustment will not
win. This becomes palmer as the
days go by and the honest element
in favor of resumption as it is will
grow until the election. Hawkins
and resumption are preferable to
Bate and reputation in the eyes of
all Democrats who believe that com
mon honesty is the best policy in
dealing with State-debt, as in every
thing else. Honesty is not a dead
political force in Tennessee notwith-
standing all the kettle drum noise of
the readiusters.
