The independent Pharisccs,

1t eau be seen already that the
brotherly love so profusely ex-
pressed by the so-called Democracy
for the Independent brethren,
Just after the election, has taken a
decided chill, since the distribu-
ton Of the offices begins to be DIS
cussed. \ "regenerated Demo
crazy Vas what Curtis, Beechcr
and Schurz promised to make OF
party with which they never had
any sympathy and for whose past
or present they have no respect.
Willing to take high Offices by the
help Of Democratic votes, 1t has
never entered the heads OF these
kid.gloved and colOgnc-scented
professors of political and literary
dilettanteism to consent to equality
of political association with the
despised leaders and masses OF
Democracy.
Curtis, Beocher, Schurz, 'Iarpers
Weekly, the New York Times, and
and Evening Post are willing to
assume the leadership of the Demo
cracy only under condition Of CON
fession on the part of the latter OF
their inferiority. These gentle
men all frankly avow that they
cannot apologize for the "oilences'
as they are pleased to call the acts
of the Democratic party in the
mast. and have no notion of allili-
alton with that party or its leaders
beyond the close of the late cam
paign, unless it shall consent to be
educated to a state approaching
their own immaculate condition OF
political purity and infallibility.
And they propose to furnish the
processes as we'll as the standards
and text books of this education.
For years these Pharisees sought
TO make the Republican masses
obedient to the demands of their
own ambition and ACCOMPLISHMENT,
and when defeated, as they we're
almost invariably in the Republl-
can primaries and State and Ma
tional Conventions, they abused
the machine, and as they rolled up
their eyes, still thanked God that
they we're so much better than the
party to which they protested ale
glance. At last their opportunity
came when the so-called DemOcra-
tic party, afraid of its real leaders
and ashamed to profess its real
purposes, gladly accepted the ten
der of Cleveland'S candidacy and
the guidance and leadership of men
who for twenty-five years have re-
garded Democracy as in all re-
spects an unpatriOtic ana TN
American organization. We shall
not have to await the Ides Of March
to witness the revolt Of Iho honest
masses of the Democratic party
against the imperiincnce and
Phariseeism that will claim Cleyc-
land and his administration as
their property. Contemptuous ref
erences Of the Pharisees to their
recent allies will prove too lrrltat-
inc to be endured, and the tussle
will not be protracted which is to
end in upsetting the heiter SHELTER
political hodge-podge which
brought forth Cleveland as Presi-
dent.

AT the Democratic jubilee at
Richmond Major Daniel, Congress
man elect from the Lynchburg dis
trict, and late Bourbon candidate
for Governor, said "Nor shall the
American Laborer see that the
Pauper Labor Of Europe shall not
be brought in competition with
him." Look out Mr.. Tucker, Major
Daniel is on the winning side Of
the great Issue Of the future in Vir-
ginia. Look ont Mr.. Barbour;
Major Daniel, Judge Staples, Mr..
Tucker, Mr.. Goode and yourself
are all suspected Of Senatorial as
pirations. It looks as if Major
Daniel were "stealing a march" on
YOU. The tariff is the issue in
Virginia, and the Major, having
been left badly on the issue of
Reimbursement, does not propose to
be left again, if he can help it on
another issue, not only popular in
Virginia, but vital to the interest
of her people.

lands majority is 6l41 over Blaine.
LII 1876 Tildens majority over
Hayes was 44,1l2. In 1850 the
excess of Hancock votes over votes
for Garfield was 1866. In eight
years there is a bourbon loss OF
.3S.251. In Missouri the result is
equally striking. General Marina
duke, one OF the most popular oil
ex-Confederatc Generals Is elected
Governor by about eleven thousand
majority over Ford the Republican
and Labor candidate, aud Glove
land loses heavily on previous
Presidential votes. Tennessee, a
free commonwealth like Missouri
and Virginia, and like Virginia and
Missouri, interested in the appli-
cation of the theory Of protection,
gives Cleveland a greatly reduced
majority and elects Bate over
Reid the Republican candi-
date for Governor, aud a gallant
Ex-Confederate soldier by about
five thousand majority. And tins
a state polling as many votes as Is
Virginia.
Bnt going North again the
Republicans of Connecticut gain
all the state officers, including the
Governor. In New Jersey the
Republicans capture both branches
of the Legislature. Ohio, Demo
cratic in the elections of the last
two years, gives Blaine over thirty
thousand majority over Cleveland,
while Michigan elects Republican
Governor to succeed a socalled
Democratic Governor, as does
Colorado. An these facts and
figures, taken in connection with
the heavy Republican gains IN
Congress tell sensible men that the
nolitical control Of this country Is
still a subject of debate and OF
anxious study. There has been no
rerolutioa. 4 president has been
elected by ScrGtch-a president,
too. owing less to mere partisan
advocacy or formulated political
faith and to the numerical strength
of his own party, than any Presl'
dent ever elected-a President en-
barrassed and beseiged by more
circumstances of discomfort than
those attendant upon any Presl-
dent before him-a President in
debt more or less to irrecOncllably
antaccnistic clements, vieing with
each other in selfshness and AFRO
gance-a President whose ability
is yet an unknown quantity and
whose courage, as distinguished
from mere obstinacy, is yet to DC
developed.
Meanwhile "patriots" will arise
such "patriots as WalpOle describ-
ed when he said lie could raise
thousand of them in twenty -four
hours, ready for service to the
country when accompanied by
convenient official emOluments.
Meanwhile, too, the people for the
time-being wearied of the rancor
and selhshneSs Of politics, will
quietly ply their vacations, and
patiently wait for other elections
when they shall assert their own
majesty and reveal their apprecia-
ton of the teachings Of campaigns
and elections above and beyond the
selfish interpretations that politl-
clans would have them accept.

We take pleasure in calling at
tention to the advertisement Of the
RURAL NEw.YORKER in another
column. 1t is a wide-awake far
mer's paper, owned and edited by
live, practical working farmers,
who own and farm $50 acres ex-
perimentally. On this all new
things are carefully tested, and the
results faithfully reported in the
Rural. Really new and valuable
seeds are selected from those test
ed, and annually from six to eight
kinds are given free to its subscri-
bers.
In this way it has done much to
benefit the farmers and advance
their interests. Our only wonder
is that everybody does not take
the Rural and share in these good
things.

The Meeting Of Congress.

Congress began its session on
Monday last Of the NLNIlI, which
expires on the fourth Of March.
The opinion prevails that this will
be a business session. Mr.. Ran
dali. as chairman Of the Committee
on Appropriations, will probably
push the appropriation bills upon
the attention of the House as
rapidly as practicable-lor Satan
finds mischief still ior idle hands
to do.
There are several very important
Senate bills on the House calendar,
which should be taken up. One OF
these is The Bankruptcy act. 1t
was very fully considered in the
Senate committee, and received the
careful study Of some Of the best
legal intelligences Of that body,
assisted and advised by lriSts who
had given prolonged and through
special study to this department Of
jurisprudence. The result was a
bill which has received the APP
prevail Of commercial boards
wherever it has been considered.
\ strong pressure was brought to
to bear on Congress by boards Of
trade all over the country, to in
ducc the House TO pass the Senate
bill at the last session. 1t failed to
get the necessary two.thlrds vote
az a time when the suspension of
the rules was necessary to call 1t
up, and thus it failed Of passage
during the closing days of the last
session, though there was a ma
iority in the House Of nearly two
to one in its favor. 1t would be
wise to take up this bill and pass
it early, for if there are any amend
ments, it must go back to the
Senate, and thus may be lost again
during the hurry Of the last days of
Congress.
This is a sample Of the work be-
fore Congress. At the last session
the Morrison Tariff bill occupied
so much time that general legisla-
ton suffered. The Senate did a
great deal Of quiet work and sent it
to the House for action, and there
it lies. Should these bills not be &C
ted Oh before the fourth of March,
they will die, and must be taken up
de novo by the FOrty-ninth Congress
The only way for the present House
to apologize to the country for the
wasted time and the mischief itdid
TO the business interests Of the
country by the "horrizontaT tariff
bill of last session, is to make the
present session one of hard work.
