Mr.. Watterson, Speaker Carlisle, and
Chairman Morrison, say there shall be no
more trimming and foolishness on the tariff
question. Their persuasions and plead
ings have been construed as weakness, Mr..
Watterson says. and now they mean to
show the protectionists what virtue there
is in little western dash and audacity.
The protection Democrats must 90, or
submit. The Morrison bill is to be the
law of the party, and those who do not
choose to obey can hunt other political as

The condition of affairs in the Soudan.
since the battle Of Teb, is not so assuring
as representations made it. The vic
tory claimed by the English over Osman
Digna has not been so much of victory,
after all. The spirit of the Arabs is as
firm and determined as ever. It is charged
that the news from Kartroum, where Gen.
Gordon is, has been suppressed, and it is
thought that when the facts become known
they will have discouraging effect. The
status of things in the Soudan is very I'M
satisfactory and the English people are
divided as to what action ought to be
taken. Hence the disturbance in the Brit
ish Cabinet.

We are gratifed to notice THAT our
neighbor of the indicator is crawling
out from the mold and damp of the
lava beds and scraping the moss from
his back. The. instruction of the VIR
GILMAN has had a most happy effect
in removing the cobwebs from his
vision and opening his eyes to the de-
mands of the times. With commemorate
aptness he has accepted all the measures.
affecting State policy, that he but recently
opposed, and now comes forward and en-
braces the policy of protection with an ar
dor that attests his sincerity. The reno
val of the capitation tax restriction on the
ballot, the repeal of the whipping-post
law, the Riddleberger settlement of the
debt question, are recognized as acts of
wise legislation, Notwithstanding our
neighbours opposition to them originally,
and to that degree a rebuke to Bourbon
Democracy. If the Vindicator will now
renounce the Democratic party and be-
come aligned with the progressive infu-
ences that it has heretofore antagonized,
it will give earnest that it means what it
says. With the advancement that it has
made within the past two years in liberal
thought, we should think it was about
time that it was cutting loose from Bour-
bon environments and striking out boldly
for new and better political life. Its
present position is opposed to the record
OF its party on the finance question, the
banking system, and the tariff issue, as
well as it's party's record in State matters.
Its Democracy is merely nominal, and to
do credit to itself it should renounce the
name as inconsistent with the policy it ad-
vocates,

tariff, and the ultimate extinction OF I'M
port duties. If anything were necessary
to awaken the people to a sense of the
danger of Democratic ascendancy in the
national government, Mr.. Carlisle's utter
ances should be sufficient. He plainly
says that the design of the party of which
he is the recognized leader, is the estab-
lishment of free trade and that it's course
in tn present Congress is but the initiatory
step in that direction. He advertises De-
mocracy to the world in its true colors,
and in language so.splain than none save
the blindest of the blind need be deceived.
One of the most ridiculous exhibitions
made by the legislature during this session,
was the refusal of the Senate, on Monday
last, to vote s., 500 to the Pocahontas suf-
ferers, on the ground that the Constitu-
tion would not permit it. There has
scarcely been day since the session began
upon which the Constitution has not been
ruthlessly violated for partizan purposes.
They have ridden rough-shod over all the
restraints of organic law without the
slightest conjunction they have appro-
priated money by the thousand to promote
political ends they have spent the sub
stance of the people, without a thought, on
nonsensical Investigations, until there is
scarcely clause in the Constitution that
has not been shamefully disregarded. And
yet when women and children of the Com
monwealth are crying for food and shelter !;
when the poorer people, whose natural pro-
sectors have been snatched from them by
sudden and terrible death are appealing
for help; when bread is wanted to still
the cry of the hungry, and clothes to
warm the naked ARE asked, then it is
that these men suddenly remember that
there is Constitution, and they search
through it as they never searched be-
fore to find excuse for disregarding the
instincts of humanity and refusing to
stricken people that which rightfully be-
longs to them. One of the most disgrace
full acts of disgraceful legislature is the
action of the Senate on Monday, and the
people will remember it.

thorize the Oregon Central road to bridge
the Willamette river, and to ratify the agree
ment with three Indian tribes of Montana

tory, and to amend the act relating to the

that the admission to American registry Of
vessels bought abroad would take from

that any human being can cheat o Yankee.
