THE WASHINGTON Hn for the past week
or two has contained communications from
discharged workmen from the Government
printing Office complaining of hard luck in
being thrown out of employment at the be-
ginning of winter. They seem at loss to
comprehend the true cause of their mis-
fortune, and attribute it to various causes ::
but probably being men who do not make
politics much Of study, are blind to the
true meaning Of the heartless manner in
which they have been treated, and fail to
see the perGicious effects Of bos,i ism in il all.
They are but 81 few of the many victims Of
Mahoneism in this section, for while they
have been compelled for no cause to re-
linquish their places and made to walk
about idle, the same places are being tender
Ell others who often have no need Of them
This is without doubt one of the most in
human expediencies to gain votes ever
resorted to-bringing chill penury" into
the homcstcads Of men whose only crime
lies in the fact that they are not voters in
the State Of Virginia How long this in
cubus is to be allowed to brood over free.
men is i, solemn problem to those victims
as the chilly north winds moan around their
humble dwellings, sadly reminding them of
the rnpid approach Of tlreary winter with
their pressing and increasing wants, while
Dominion. cnsconscd in his comfortable
quarters, surrounded with every worldly
comfort. Knocks their useful toll" in order
that his power may be perpetnatcd. The
constrast between the rigid war rule of the
republican party and this pcrnicious boss
domination is very marked. Southern men
were then employed in theGovcrnmcnt print
ing office who often entertained sympathy
for their section. They were never modest
ed, and kept their places rs long as they
desired But whit change has come over
things under the sway OF Nrginia's ''old
man OF the sea-" In order that the number
of votes for the rcpudationists of Virginia
may be augmented, men are compelled TO
quit their employment and their places
held at the disposal Of mechanics from other
localities who often have not solicited them.
OF course many swallow the bait instantly
and are led captive at the will of him to
whom they have sold themselves If the
dupcd parties to such a contemplate bar
gain possess one atom of scnsilivcness GER
tainly the doleful hum of the dead march"
would often be heard about them when it
flashes across their minds that faithful men
have been brought to want for their benefit.
Certainly it is high time the good people of
all shades of opinion were uniting in one
solid body for the relief Of the State no
longer intending 20 permit the merciless
sway of this heartless and INSCRIPTIONS
autocrat.

ing, but while it will be fun for the boys,
it will be death to the frogs''-not meaning
any invidious comparison. We'll may some
people eXcaim, save me from my friend,
and such friend; who, to use the language
of one of our wittiest aud most prominent
merchants, would walk over the bald heads
Of his best friends with cobble nails i'll his
shoes to attain desired elevation
One OF the causes that induced the peo-
pie Of the American colonies to rebel against
Great Britain was the fact that the Govern
ment of that country had erected a multi
tudc Of new offices and sent hither swarms
ofnew officers to harass our people and cat
out OR substance But they now bear
submissiveiy harsher and more onerous
burdens than those which induced
them to 90 to war and win their in
dependence, for the impositons of
King George were as nothing compared
with those of the republican party
In all his imaginings he never con-
ceived Of the extent to which new offices have
occh ei'Gttu, aili INC people DecN HalaSseu anu
boSsed. and their substance eaten out by the sys-
TEN OF internal revenue now in operation. And
then, too, the burdens he imposed were made to bear
| on all alike, while by the republican tariff and
internal revenue the product of the rich Pennsyl-
vania steel rail manufacturer is protected to the
| amount of SIS a ton. while the tobacco raised by
| the poor Virginia farmer is taxed sixteen cents
4 pound. And yet General Malone, who mis-
| represents Virginia in the Senate, voted against
the abolition Of the whole internal revenue sys-
TEN. and against reduction of the existing tariff.

NEARLY ALL the democrats who heard
Mr.. Massey last night would have voted for
him whether he had spoken here or not
But what he said, and the earnestness with
which he said it, to the immense crowd that
heard him. induced the few democrats
among it who had previously intended to
vote against him, or not to vote at oil, to
change their minds and make them
his firm supporters. His speech had
another effect. There were many white republi-
cans in his large audience, not few of whom left
the hall, when the speech was over, convinced
that Malone is not the man to whom to surrender
both their organization and their principles, that
il they must choose democrat they should 81
least he allowed the privilege of selecting the one
| they Ike best. and that Mahonc's defeat will re-
douna not only to the interest of their State and
county, but also to the real and true interests Of
the republican party.

a report comes from Paris that the
monetary conference has been in:lefi-
nately postponed. This is not encourag-
ing news, and yet in view Of the fact
that there is little hope for the confer
ence to do anything toward carrying out
its primary object ut the appointed sts-
sion its meeting this month is prcnla-
ture. When the conference adjourned
last June it WIS understood it was for
the purpose Of giving the representatives
time to present its deliberations to the
consideration of their respective govern
n,ents. This has becn done but those
governments have done nothing looking
to the settlement Of the question which,
called the conference together. Instead
OF giving it aid and encouragement our
own government has thrown cold water
on the meeting Ivy recommending the
repeal Of the coinage law and thus lie
ni"netizing silver altogether. Whether
the conference will Ike indefinitely post
pOned or not the chances are that little
progress will be made this year toward
creating an international money stand
ard.

X"u*e If Representatives..

From which it appears that more
than twO-tLirds Of the membership OF
both houses is chosen from tho
legal profession, and Congress may
therefore he fairly termed Il Congress OF
lawyers. OF late years it has been very
much questioned whether it is wise to
have 80 many professional men in Con-
gross. One objection urged against it is
that the preponderancc If lawyers in
our highest .leliberative bodies has r.
suited in the enactment Of laws that
were ilIiberal and preiudicial to the gc,.-
eral interests Of the country; that thew.
as rule, took more interest in techni-
cal rather than in practical legislation.
Whether this is true or not We will no,
stop to debate, but the fact that the pcc-
pie elected them As their representatives
Is suft!cienthnswerto all cavilling. In
the enact ment Of laws legislative bodies
should have the bencfi; OF the very hes,
legal advice and If the professional gen-
t|enlen who consent to serve are will
ing to give their labor and: counsel Ia
the country for eight dollars a day no
one should complain 50 long as that la
bOr and counsel are enlisted in the in
terests Of their constituents and tho
country ut large.
