THE YORKTOWN DISGRACE

THE YORKTOWN DISGRACE.
We hope our readers will not light
ly pass over these items. They should
be studied, at least, sufficiently to
show the outlines of the disgraceful
picture which they present. The Com
mittee expended nearly Seren thousand
dollars in that Yorktown trip on vari-
Gus kinds of wines, brandy, whiskey
and cigars. We do not wonder that
passengers needed to drink up three
cases of Congress water. The only
wonder is that any committee appoint
ed by Congress could so disgrace
themselves, disgrace the celebration,
disgrace the country, and so offend
the moral sense of all right thinking
people, as was the fact according to
the above figures. The abuse was a
monstrOus one, and the bacchanalian
revelry, amid so much guiding and
smoking, presents spectacle alike
disgusting aud demOralizing. We arc
glad that the itemized account has
been published, that the country may
see what some congressman can do
n. Y. Independent.
THE PENSION swINDLE.
The Boston Herald not long ago re-
marked that if the people of this
country had ever been asked to vote
upon the proposition to eXpend in
pensions an amount equal to three
fourths of the entire national debt.
there can be no question that they
would have buried it beneath an ava
lanche OfnOes. Yet this is what their
representatives did, and it was IA stu
pendous piece of demogogry. Senator
Beck of Kentucky has denounced the
pension arrears act as conceived in
sin and brought forth in iniquity,'
but he has ignored the fact the meas
ure was passed by Democratic con
gress to secure favor with the soldier
element of the country in the pres-
Dental campaign of 1880. Yet, for all
this, the bill would probably never
have been passed if congress had
known at the time that it would cost
between $500, 900, 900 and $500, 900, 900

STRIKES.
Settling disputes about wages by
strikes is no better in principle than
the old "trial by combat" for de-
termining questions given by civiliza-
ton to the courts, but such matters do
not come within the scope of law as
understood in this country, and they
are extremely hard to deal with.
Boards of arbitration, which are sub
stantialIy courts, work successfully in
England and in some other countries,
but before men will submit to that sort
of adjudication of rights they will
learn the folly of trying to get more
than their rights by brute force and
in the case in hand that lesson seems
to take a good deal of time and expe-

A gentleman prominent in Vermont
politics, high in position, and bearing

alluding to our own State, when he
remarked in words to this effect The

To the Business Men Of Mem.
DhiS,

The MEMPHIS PRESBYTERIAN
HERALD is the only Presbyterian
paper published in this section of
the South, and reaches an exclusive
class of readers that are proyerbi-
ally amongst the most reliable as
citizens and business-like people,
The subscription patronage of the
paper is confined principally to the
city, and section of country adjacent
and looking to Memphis as a COM
mercial center. Hence as an adj
yertising medium, the HERALD pre-
sents some strong claims, and it is
to this fact we would respectfully
direct the attention of the Business
Men of Memphis. For the benefit
of our readers, and as a means of
support to the paper, we desire to
keep up a pretty full Business Di-
rectory Of the reliable business
houses of Memphis, and certainly
believe it will pay our business men
to aid us in this way.
The Presbyterian element within
a radius Of about one hundred and
twenty-five miles, with Memphis as
a center, contains an actual mem
bership ofabout 1000, and it is not
immodest nor improper for us to
claim for them the fact that they
are among the best of our citizens.
We desire a share of the advertis-
ing patronage of the reliable and
proper business houses of Memphis.
And such we respectfully solicit.

from the newspaper. We leave the
past to bury its dead, and deal with
the issues Of the present, with the
agencies that diifuse intelligence, that
stimulate a proper ambition, that de.
yelop and utilize the resources Of
mind and matter. The LEDGER is
not given to sentimentalism or reve-
rie, but Just for a moment begs to be
excused for referring to its successes
in its humble sphere, and to thank an
appreciative community for the pat
rOnage and cooperation which have
enabled the conductors Of the paper
to claim some degree Of usefulness
and share in the local pride and
public spirit which shed upon our
historic city the lustre Of national
reputation.
