another display Of that scnselcss want of
policy which has marked the political
course of the Democracy since the day
when it lost leaders with brains and ac-
ccpted those possessed merely of self-suH
cheney.
As a matter of fact there were no Re.
publcans in the Senate or out Of IL who op-
posed the measure. II came out of the
Military Committee with unanimous re-
port in its favor But astutc mon like Sem
ator Edmunds saw an opportunity TO re-
vive the waning fortunes of the party aud
possibly overcome the untoward influences
which indicated, almost inevitably, Dem
ocratic majority in the next House. Sen
ator Edmunds talked about the bill we
say "talked" because what he said
amounted TO nothing. lie gave no reason
why the bill should not pass. lie was
merely acting the part of the matadoro who
enters the ring at a bullfght and waves
rcd cloth to irritatc and madden the bulls,
causing them to close their eyes, lower
their heads and charge furously. He sue
ceeded. No sooner did Senators Hampton
and Call see the waving flag than they
closed their eyes and charged as wildly as
any other mad bulls who were ever placed
in a ring and goaded bya skillful matadore.
Their example has infected the rest, and
the Senate Chamber now presents the spec
tacle of a number of Democratic Senators
paving up the ground and charging round
like bulls, while Edmunds, ingalls, and
other cool headed Republicans are waving
red flags and pricking them with sharp
pointed spears to make their anger more
fierce and their antics more laughable.
1t seems to be impossible to impress these
Democratic bulls that the late war was
fought for n purpose, and that that pur-
pose was accomplished. Senator Voorhees,,
who is credited with possessing sense,
actually quoted the Crittenden resolutions
and the declarations of Lincoln to show
that the war was not intended to abolish
slavery. Yet there was hardly n child OF
the mature age of ten years in either section
of the Union when the war began who did
not know that the existence of slavery was
dependent on the result. The war on one
side was to dissolve the Union, and uphold
slavery; on the other to maintain the Union
and destroy slavery, and Senator Hampton
| now rises in his seat and says; "God alone

licans, and will go far toward securing

TIE REPUBLICAN LEADERS have an abid-

trust is never betrayed. The Republicans
calculate to win through Democratic folly,
and once more the Democrats OF the Senate
have given them the inside of the track,

round as a start. Various untoward
circumstances had placed the Repub-
Hcans in condition where to win

thereon. In Monday issue of the Courier

THE SUCCESS of the English steamship
owners in subsidiZing American newspa-
pers and bribing American legislators to
perpetuate their monopoly of our carrying
trade seems to have stimulated the Eng
lish steamship builders to the notion that
they can by the same methods control the
American navy. The reasons why Mr..
Harris was SO neatly suppressed the other
day in his effort to secure consideration of
the Navy bill are now beginning to .ap-
pear.
Tho English lobby was on hand and its
spokesmen on the floor was simply fighting
for time in order to perfect their pro-
gramme. This programme is to quietly
work up strength enough to amend the bill
SO as to compel the Secretary of the Navy
to admit foreign shipbuilders to competition
in bidding for such of the new ships as may
be constructed by contract. To the shame
and disgrace of our flag it must be said that
there are officers in our Navy who favor
this preposterous plan.
A private pamphlet has been printed and
distributed among Members and Senators
sin strict confidence" declaring that the
object Of the new Navy bill is to create an
enormous system of jobbery between the
Department and American shipbuilders,
which can be frustrated only by compelling
the Secretary to receive foreign bids, and
award all contracts to the lowest bidder.
This means, Of course, that we must hire
Englishmen TO build a Navy for us
Let no one underrate the danger Of this
scheme, absurd as it is and chimerical as it
might appear to the casual observer. The
English shipbuilders are ready to spend
two hundred thousand dollars in order to
secure the monopoly Of the construction
provided for in this bill, and the past sEe-
cess Of English steamship owners in sub
sidizing American Journalism and Ameri-
can legislators is too notorisus to admit OF
doubt as to the chances of the plan we have
described.
The Naval bill will be brought up al
some period Of the session, and thea the
English tactics will be developed. We arc
little curious to sec which one of the able
statesmen retained by the English agents
will take the responsibility of Offering the
proposed English amendment to Mr.. Harris
bill. In that event, the question Of sub
sides may be discussed from new stand.

THE CRITIC has in its possession some
bills paid to the Washington gas monopoly
in the years 1861, 1862. 1868 and 1864. In
the first two years the price was $3.50 per
thousand feet, in the next 50. Coal in
1868 and 1864 cost from $12 to $15 per ton !;
labor was twice as high as it is now; all
the materials for making gas were at least
double the present price, and the products
of the gas works, outside of gas, could not
be utilized, and many improvements have
been made cheapening the cost of the man
ufacture Of gas, and it is now two-thirds of
the price it was in 1868 The company
purchases coal at less than one-third what
it paid then; it procures labor much
cheaper it sells all the products of the
works at good prices and can sell gas at
one dollar with profit of at least fifteen
per cent. on its watered stock. The atten-
tion of Mr.. Barr, chairman of the Subcom-
mittee on Corporations of the House COM

A GREAT PLEASURE FAIR.

The Rome correspondent of the Phihdel-
phia Bulletin writes: The great fair of the
BJaaa is over, but its memories remain all
too wildly ringing in our cars from the
squeaking of countless penny whistles and
the blowing of innumerable tin horns. Per-
haps your readers do not know what the
Bgdha is. II is the twelfth night popular
fete, which here takes the form of great
pleasure fair, with tho usual attractions of
booths md stalls for the sale of cakes and
toys and candies, wild-beast shows, dwarfs
and giants, and all tho rest of it ; but the pc
culiarity of tho BeJana at Rome is that every
one entering on the scene tries to mako as
much noise rs he eau. Horns are blown,
cymbals are elashed, trumpets are sounded;
that is the real "fun of the fair" Every
body buys tin trumpet or an instrument of
some kind to supplement the power of the
lungs, and the effect may be easier imagined
than described II Dante had lived in later
times, think he would have introduced the
idea of the Bgfaha into his " Inferno" as
the place of punishment reserved for sensi-
tive musicians. The revels are always kept
up until after midnight, and the noise does
not diminish as the small hours draw near
but in the earlier part of the evenings fam
lily parties muster strongly, and the children,
of course, all carry their trumpets home
with them, 80 that forsomo days afterwards,
until the dreadful toys are broken OF lost,
the too-too-ing on oil sides is incessant
