A PRoDIGAL SONS PROTEST.

The Democratic Convention at Chicago
speaks feelingly of the failure which 1t
charges upon the Republican party of re-
lieving the country of the burthen of war
tax. 1t declared that the war taxes are
continued If there is any subject III all
the realm of political topics upon which
the Democratic party may with propriety
keep silent, it is this subject of the war,
and the taxes the war inflicted upon the
country The Democratic party lnaugu-
rated a war to destroy the Union. 1t never
paused to inquire how costly the war might
prove. But the war was fought out, the
Union preserved, and now somebody has
to paw for it. The war debt was peculiarly
a Democratic debt 1t was debt incurred
to suppress Democratic treason-to prevent
that party from cutting the throat OF the
nation 1t is wholly due to the success OF
that war that the Democratic party is en-
abled now to assemble in National Con-
vention, wherein both the South and the
North have representation. If the Demo-
cratic party had had its way, and if the
heresies it believed in had prevailed in this
Government, there would now have been
five or six nations occupying the territory
within the jurisdiction of the United States.
In National Convention assembled, with
representatives from States united into a
Federal Union constitutinga great nation,
with national powers, national prosperity
and national destiny, it is little
short of unblushing impudence to COM
plain of the Republican party that it has
not suspended some of the war taxes, the
burden of which is chargeable to the sins
of the National Democracy. If the prodi-
resolution to say, Father, 1 have sinned,
and am not worthy to be called thy son, y
had resolved to go and tell the old man that
by his profigacy, his debauches, his gam
bling and riotous living, he had not only
spent his patrimony. but had incurred
debts, and had asked the old gentleman to
indorse for him, and subsequently unani-
mously resolved that the old gentleman
was committing a crime in using up his
revenue to pay off the debts, the prodigal
son would have acted in a manner some
what parallel with the stupidity and impu-
dence of the Democratic party in resolving
that the Republican party is committing
the crime of retaining war taxes when il
is well known that the tax of discharging
the principal and interest of the vast ma
tional debt fell to the lot of the Republican
party, and when it is also remembered that
the debt, and the consequent necessity OF
war taxes, was created by Democratic ex-
travagance and Democratic treason.

Excitement Among Church Ofacials.

George Standish and Maggie Hearn were
married. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Charles Coleman, pastor OF the Bap-
fist Church. Miss Hearn was Roman
Catholic, and her marriage by Protestant
clergyman has created great excitement
among the church officials, who look upon
the affair as crime against the Church.
Ex-communication is sure to follow. 1t ap-
pears that Standish, in Difference to his
brides religious preferences, applied to an
assistant priest to marry them, and was in
formed that it was necessary in such cases
to get dispensatiOn from the Bishop at
Hartford, which would take day or two.
He was willing to wait, but Miss Hearn
was not, and so they were married by

and quickly, as though she We're be-

OUR esteemed low-citizen, ex-Minister
Sargent, has forgotten to be logical when,
in an interview, lie presents for the execra-
ton of his countrynen the monstrous ex-
ample of Prince Bismarck in prohibiting
the importation of American pork for the
purpose of protecting the home product,
and in the same interview declares himself
to be in favor of a protective policy in the
interest of American products. Mr.. Sar-
gent informs the interviewer that his resi-
dencc abroad has convinced him that the
free trade doctrines of the Democratic party
will not answer for this country, and that
every sacrifice should be made to prevent
the Government falling into the hands of
the Democracy, solely because of the
value to American productions OF a pro-
tective policy. If protection is justifiable
in the United States, it certainly is not
wrong in Bismarck'S Government, and if
Mr.. Sargent is a high protectionist he is
estopped from finding fault with Bis
marcks desire to make a very practical
application of Mr.. Sargents own govern
mental theory.

WHO'S AFRAID.

We are daily told that the election of
Mr. Blaine will tend to involve this nation
in war Who has shown any evidence of
Mr. Blaine's pugnacious disposition But
mark tit reflects the largest and best
sentiment of American people, when it is
said that if in the enlargement of American
commerce, the assertion of American rights
the promotion of American industries, the
announcement of American ideas, some
body cries out, Hands off or we will
fight" then let there be war and we know
of no man who's afraid If there be such
let him speak. We do not believe that
Mr.. Blaine contcmplates any ENHANCEMENT
of this country with other nations; but we
know he does believe in American asser-
ton. In all that concerns civilization, hui
mainly and the advancement of man, tine
United States has no right to remain silent.
When in the great family of nations there
is wrong done, it is the duty of Amer
lea to protest, and if she fails to do she de-
serves to be execrated by men. We have
the right to take our place among the
worlds arbiters, and TO be heard in the
worlds counsels, and the election of James
G. Blaine means that we will do So If
that precipitates war, well and good-in
such a cause it can do us only good.
