JESUITICAL P4RTIsIYS.

Certain OF the Josultlcal hepT nEa,.n
party press are afflicted with the ,sftxvrs .. :
the selection made by the 7 enaec-. Mo
party for speaker of the Hou % OF Repre.
sentatives. An Ohio paper 1sserts tb.t TIA
election of Mr.. Carlisle is the e7iur,nb of
the principles for whi' a Lee and Jeck-
son fought. A Min Aesote Jesuit print
characterized the after SIS victory for
the Rebel Briga( ders. This is sense
less and cont emptiAfe. The election
Of Mr.. Car isle was national
one, not at all a sectional one. He re-
celVed votes rom twenty four states, en-
braclng the entire geographical range of
the coun' Sry. Mr.. Carlisle received as
many vo tes from the northern states as
Mr.. Randall did, and but for the votes
given him by the eastern, middle, western
and Pacific states some other man would
haV been chosen. There was no section
al Issue inyolved in the choice
Uiade by the national Democratic
party, ard the Republican cry Of
a solid south is both false and vicious.
Mr.. Randall, the Republican favorite, had
twenty votes from the south, but he was
beaten, as he ought to have been beaten,
becauss lie is more of a Republican than a
Democrat upon the questions that more
particularly concern the public at the
present time. He is not q national man
in the sense and with the breadth that
Mr.. Carlisle is national man.
The disappointed Republicans under
| take to raise the false issue that the eiec-
ton of Carlisle is destined to disturb the
| business interests of the country. They
are making very fools of themselves in
their attitude OF alarmists, and only
show their weakness, their lack of genuine
| national spirit, in the nefarious effort to
| mislead and demoralize. There are among
the Republicans some men and journals
| who have enough of the leaven of honesty
to rebuke the False Prophet of evil. For
instance the New York, Times is one of
these. 1t pertinently says:
The country is not going to get scared and
stay scared for year. 1t is not the American
way Ihs business men who, like the Pittsbnrp
IRON men, are crying out in terror, will quiet
down before the winter is over If they don't
the people Will laugh them into silence The
American nation is not SO used ND. worn or,t
dull and lazy that it cannot stand n moderate
dose OF change IN vicious tax system Even
the protected interests will be the better for it in
the long ru and they will not suffer ruin in fonr
months.
rev "push-pin politicians" may have
commissions, but the great mass of the peo-
pie are net, as the Times says, going to be |
scared and 60 off in panic with visions |

forms holds to the same views as are
held by Mr.. Cox of New York.
by Mr.. Morse of Massachusetts
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, and many
others, indeed, by all other iudiciously
minded men. So far az this subieot il
concerned, Mr.. Carlisle is to be indeed bv
his own opinions, not by what the Jesnits
say about him. He states his position
clearly and candidly as follows:
Sudden and radical changes in the laws AID
regulations affecting the commercial and in5ns
trial interests Of the people ought never to be
made unless lmperatvely demanded BY some
puonc emergency; and, in my opinion, under
existing circumstances, such changes wou1d nor |
be favorably received by any considerable nun
