POLITICAL NOTES.

The Columbia (Mo.) Herald (Dem.) rezd'
Senator Voorhees, out of the party foyy dis
owning the Democratic doctrine OF Tree
trade"
1t does not pay for either party to send
vulnerable men to Congress. Inc mortiIy'
ing scenes in the House. wbefe Mr.. hooesor
is obliged to meet repestedly the charges
which the country has often heard before
are not helpful TO part success. 1t ought to
be possible TO find Candidates who have moi
| come down to " from former political
! generation.-Boson Advertiser.
Representative Hubbell was met upon the
| staircase of the White House recently on bis
| way no see the President by a brother con-
| presem an, who asked him if he was on po-
| lifial assessment errand in that quarter.
'syes," replied Mr.. Hubbell, 81 guess / will
| bave to pass the hat around here" Accord
ing to the regular rate of assessment $1,000
would be due from the President.
The Cleveland (O.) Herald (Rsp) believes
that Governor Crittenden, of Missouri, in
his recent speech at Warrensbsrg, when he
nominated S. J. Tilden for the presidency in
1884, really made bid for the second place
on the ticket. "Hence this Juggling in oil
national politics and vituperation OF the
Republican party at the end of speech
ostensibly made IN vindication OF his local
administration"
Evidence is piling up high that Jay Hub
bell takes the prize banner. He has sent his
two per cent circular to the few Democrats
employed as clerks at Washington, and the
circular was also mailed to little page who
had been dead for some weeks, and conse-
quently beyond the reach of Jay Hubbell,
either now or at any future time. This is
where the grave hath its victory, but it will
be seen that the margin on either side was
narrow.-Cincinndti Enquirer.
Ii Congress is to command the respect of
the public there is one thing that must be
DONE 1t must make the Record the absolute
transcript of its proceedings, no matter what
may be said or done. This thing of allowing
members to print in it what they didn't say,
and keep out OF it what they did say, is to
put that publication in most contemplate
position before the world-since it is no
longer what il pretends 10 be-and places
the members Of the two houses in false
attitude before their colleagues as well as
their constisuents.-Wa Washington Star.
The Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Republican writes: ALREADY the
suspicion has arisen that Arthur, convinced
that he cannot secure a denomination, Is GO
ing to get all the fun he can out OF the presi-
dency, and not bother himself about politics,
He goes in for safe, quiet and conservative
administration and for all the sweets that
can be obtained from the social side OF it,
and when '85 comes will take his hat and
bid his successor welcome, content with a
rounded out, though accidental career. OF
course the politicians don't like this, and il
is rather amusing to hear the old Stalwarts
grumble about him. The Stalwarts are do
ing almost all of the grumbling, and the
Half Breeds are holding their BREATH"
Even after the constitution is 30 amended
that the right of the colored man 10 citizen
ship is not denied by any man, the Democ-
racy preserves its close corporation, places
no plank in its platform indicating that the
colored vote, if cast in its favor, would be
protected in its purity and just lsws enacted
for the government OF the whole people. No
intelligent man disputes that the Republican
party is a corrupt organization, seeking per-
pelual power and spoliatioD, but until the
Democratic party shall come out manfally
and declare itself in favor OF pure and hon.
est government and the repeal of odious and
unlawful class legislation, as we'll as the de-
velopment Of pure, generous, humane pub
lie sentiment, the Republican party will
continue in power, continue TO vote away the
public domain and treasure to individuals
and corporations, and continue to build
higher the walls which hedge about its su-
premacy.-NsiO York Globe Negro Organ.
The whole tariff system is a sham; it does
o.hing it pretends to do. The manufactur-
ing interests, about which we hear much,
do not compare in importance 10 the sgricul-
tural interests. More men are employed on
the railroads in Indiana than in the mills
and factories. Her wheat crop this year will
be between 60,000,000 and 100000 OF
bushels, worth almost as much as all the
money invested in manufactures in Indiana,
and her corn crop will be about as valuable.
Yet the men who pillow the fields and reap
them, the men who gather up these great
crops and send them TO the markets, the great
army of Woodworking men, are taxed, and
heavily taxed, to "protect" little band
numbering 1899 employed by manufac-
turers and as result the protected laborer
receives 81 SO for days work. If these
laborers must be protected, the duty of pro-
tecting them should be laid exclusively on
the capitalists, who, according to Mr.. Voor-
hees, are getting such handsome returns on
the money invested in Indiana.-Louisuide
