why They Laugh.
From the Chicago Times.

1t is very amusing-very. 1t makes
the politicians laugh, even if the jul
dicious grieve. When Butterw orth,
made some remarks on the floor of
Congress so indecent that they would
not be permitted to appear in the Con-
GREssIoNAL RECORD, and ladies were
warned from the galleries, his COL
leagues laughed heartily. Nj. But
terworth was SO peart and pleasing
and blackguardish that they were
compelled to hold their sides, they
laughed SO much. When the Vice
President elect Of the United States,
now its President, described at a Del
monico dinner, in honor of Star Route
Dorsey, by what persuasive arts OF
corruption that sweet gentleman had
saved Indiana, the tables were set in
a roar. 1t was so highly diverting.
When Senator ingalls, described the
River and Harbor bill, by which it is
proposed to take twenty millions of
dollars from the Treasury to aid in
the reelection of Congressman, as
"the annual shame, scandal, and dis
grace of American legislation" the
Senate burst into - loud guffaw. Their
part in the preparation of the annual
shame, scandal, and disgrace, never
so much a shame, scandal, and dis
grace as this year, moved their risi-
bles. 1t is possible that the sober
sense of the country may be shocked
at this laughter. 1t is something too
long and too loud. 1t comes in at the
wrong time. There really isn't any.
thing funny in obscene jesting, in ele.
ton frauds, or in legislative stealing

Gov. st. John, of Kansas, was in
terviewed a few days ago on the Pro
hibition question, by a reporter of
the Atchison Patriot. Here is what
he said:
Reporter-How does the State
prosper under prohibition?
Governor-Every temperance man
is encouraged. The railroads are
selling twice rs much land as at any
time for five years past, and our
school lands, with the choicest taken
up years ago, are now selling at the
rate of 220 acres per day, while in
1880 the rate was but Isl acres per
day.
Reporter-How progresses the
great temperance movement in a IA
lional way?
GOVERNOR candidly believe that
in fifteen years the prohibition law
will be q national one, Iowa has
adopted it. Next year it will be
Nebraska, then Missouri, then Indi-
ana, and as the great question pro
crosses other States will flock in, I'M
til temperance shall be the rule and
not the exception.

Some Facts.
Plain Deale


1t is q fact that the Republican par
ty elected its last President by means
ofa lavish expenditure of money.
1t is a fact that the Republican par
ty is in power to-day by reason of the
lavish use of money in elections.
1t is q fact that the greater part of
the money used by the Republican
leaders to carry the last presidential
election was contributed by men who
to-day stand indicted for robbing the
public treasury.
1t is a fact that one of the star route
thieves has confessed to having given
eight thousand dollars of his stolen
money to the Republican campaign
fund.
1t is q fact that m indicted thief is
Secretary of the Republican National
Committee.
1t is q fact that the leader of the Re-
publican Congress is q VIGOROUSLY
corrupt jobbcr who got rich by steal
ing from the government and who, in
connection with an Ohio Republican,
organized the Housed in the interest of
thieves.
tits a fact that the Republican Con-
gress has passed a river and harbor
bill calling for the expenditure of
twenty million dollars, nearly double
what any other Congress ever appro-
priated for the same purpose in the
history Of this country; that three
fourths of this appropriation is a clear
steal, being for erection of public
buildings in one-horse towns where
there are no United States offices and
where there are none needed, and fol
improving rivers that cannot be found
on the map.
1t is a fact that the present Repub-
lican Congress has raided the treasury
of the enormous sum of three hun.
dred million dollars in a single year
1t is a fact that the Republican par.
ty has become the party of the rich
controlled by monopoiies and legis'
lating for the wealthy and that nc
Republican can get office unless he Ii
rich enough to pay for it.
1t is a fact, certified to by a promi
nent Republican, that no man can bt
nominated or elected in the Republi
can party except by the lavish use o
money.
1t is a fact that the Republican par
ty relies solely on the corrupt use o
money to carry the elections this yea
and that in defiance of law and will
a stolid indifference to decency ant
morality, the Republican Congress
sional Committee is assessing gov
eminent employees to raise the mon
ey.
These facts no Republican will
venture to deny, because they canno
be successfully denied or concealed
They afford sufficient and convincing
reason why no good citizen shoul'
longer remain a member of so infa
nous an organization.

1t seems to annoy some able Re-
publican editors that the Democratic
State Convention did not make an eX-
plicit declaration on the Pond law and
the Saint Smith law. They are all in
a sweat for fear this omission will
make the Germans mad. We have to
say that the plank in the Democratic
platform c~ondemning Legislation
merely sumptuary" is all that is ne
cessary. Democrats did not make
either of these laws. The Democrat
ic members of the Legislature voted
against them. The record is sufficient
to determine the position of the par
ty with respect to them. And all laws
that come under the head of "merely
sumptuary" laws, are condemned by
the platform. AS for the Pond and
Smith laws it wasn't worth while to
bother about them. Both of them are
dead in fact. One was knocked in
he head by the Supreme Court aud
The other has been tramped to death.
1t is not incumbent upon the Demo-
cratic party 10 concern itself with the
corpses of these two Republican
measures, any further than to say that
Il party responsible for making such
laws is a poor hand at the business
and had better quit. We know the
Republican organs threaten that some
more laws, built on the anne pattern
but moro odious, will be passed next
winter, but the Democratic party can't
help that. The Legislature is Iiepub-
lican and will be next winter, what

In referring to the Democratic

In referring to the Democratic
platform the Eaton Register says:
We defy any Democrat to either
prove or disprove, from their plat
form, whether the party is for or
against Free Whiskey and no Sun,
day. Are they for taxing the liquor
trade? for local option2 for prohibit
ton? for amending our Constitu-
ton? for referring the temperance
question to a vote of the people?-
Will anyone rise and by authority
say what position the party holds on
any or all of these vital points.
Well, what does the Republican
platform declare Mr.. Charles? You
have been asked a dozen times to
say whether it means license, tax,
prohibition, free whiskey and NO
Sunday, and you have never answer
ed. There is no dodge about the
Democratic platform. 1t declares
against sumptuary legislation. That
is plain enough. The way-farine
man, though a fool or even Mr.
Charles, ought to know what that
means. AS to the question oflicense
it is not up at this time. A license
is not constitutional, and it is silly
to pirate about it. When the ques
ton comes up it will be time to take
a position on it. AS TO the Sunday
question the Democrats are in favor
of as much Sunday as the Republi
cans and will observe it as religious
ly.

Temperance Politics.
New York Sun.


The prediction is confidently made
that the prohibition triumph in Iowa
will have a disastrous effect upon the
Republican party i'll that State. The
number of German voters is much
larger than is generally supposed. The
total voting population is 413,633. Of
this number $4,000 are natives of Ger
many and German-speaking coun-
tries, like Austria and Switzerland ;
and it is estimated that 5000 Of those
born here are sons of the n~aturalized
Germans, and likely to think and feel,
upon such a question as that of prohi-
bition, in accord with their fathers.
Not less than half, and probably three
fifths of these 5000 voters are said to
have cast their ballots heretofore for
Republican candidates. Deduct these
from the Republican vote, and they
would destroy the majorities of 10000
that Iowa has been accustomed to rol.
up.
The other foreign-born voters must
also be taken into consideration. AL
together the foreign-born is very near
ly one-third of the whole vote of the
State, and, combined with that of the
descendants of foreign-born voters, is
probably more than a third. Many
of these have voted the Republican
ticket heretofore, and it is more than
probable that not SO many will do il
hereafter.
An effort has been made by the pro.
hibitionists in the West 10 draw the
Germans into their ranks by argu'
ments and considerations directed
specially to them. The danger of al
ienating these voters from the Repub
lican party has evidently been appre
ciated. But the effort 10 make prohi
bition converts of them has natural,
been aborlive. The German canno
be made to believe that beer and win
cause intemperance. On the contrary
he regards them as promoters of tru
temperance by furnishing lighter sub
stitutes for the stronger liquors. II
could probably be persuaded to favo
the prohibition of the sale of distille'
alcoholic liquor but that was alread.

of the new constitutional amcndmen
