THE Republican minority quits the halls of
legislation with record of which they may
well feel satisfied Laboring under the dis
advantage of having to contend against
nearly two thirds majority, it was impossible
for them to carry out any plan of active leg
islation, and they were practically powerless to
successfully oppose any scheme of the ma
iority. 1t was not within their ability to
prevent the squandering of the time of the
first session, nor to save the State from the
infamy of the bills to disfranchise the people
under the mask of redistricting the State for
legislative and congressional purposes. They
stood together manfully and made gallant
fight within the possibilities of parliamentary
rules and legal restrictions. Their votes, al
most without exception, representatives
of the Republican party, have been
in the interests of the State, voting in favor of
liberal appropriations to the various State in
stitutiens the decent maintenance of which
is a duty that cannot be shirked. and offering
such opposition as was possible to the in
famous gerrymander and similar partisan and
unjust measures. The responsibility for the
extra session and extra expense of $50, 900
must rest with the Democratic majority
which was large enough to have it their own
way. 1t can truthfully be said that no Re
publican member has disgraced himself, but
each and all have given evidence of an earn
est desire 10 discharge their duty faithfully and
WELL The general rottenness of the body
does not attach to them. The irregularities
practiced by employees, and the charges of cor
ruption limited against members ara not
against them, and they all go back to their
constituents clean handed and with credit.

CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.

THE tendency of events is to steadily diminish the
ratio of profits which capitalists receive and to give
more and more of the results OF production to those
who actively engaged in the work of producing.
This is embodied in the everyday experience of
and women working upon this terrestrial sphere and
points directly to the conclusion that, as time goes
on as improvements made in all forms of man
ufacure those who bear the heat and burden of toll
will receive more and more OF the fruits which that
toll has resulted in producing-Boston Herald.
THE mugwunps are a constant fount of marvel and
entertainment to the student of the grotesque in poll
tics. Their com binaton of ingenious transcendental
doctrnarsm with hard cheek stimulates the observer
and invites the analyst. And in the whole domain of
mugwumpology there is nothing more peculiar than
the hatred of the mugwump for the working poll
tcians," On the heads of these poor fellows are
poured out all the walls Of the mugwumps wrath. 1t
doesn't hurt the politicians and suppose that it
leves the mugwumps.-New York Sun.

THE Republican members of the Senate
made an excellent selection when they chose
Hon. l.. NJ Campbell, the senator from Hen
bricks as their candidate for the position of
President pro tenn. He received the full Re-
publican strength, and if the vote had
been taken by ballot it is probable
he would have been chosen over
Senator Smith, the Democratic nominee
Senator Campbell is a gentleman of the high
est character, conservative in views, thor
oughly capable as legislator, and fitted by
temperament and experience to be the presid
ing officer of adeliberative body. Although the
Republicans were not able to elect him. the
compliment they paid him was worthily be-

The growing among the politicians does not
die out, but is on the increase The Missouri
senators have joined those from Kentucky in
absenting themselves from the White House
A gentleman who, while not authorized to speak
for Mr. Cleveland, may be certainly classed
among his close friends, says that these poll
ticians who put on airs around the President
and talk defantly about his administra-
ton do not know the man. 1T may
be-" this friend says. ''that some of these sore
heads will need letter of introduction when
they desire to renew their visits to the White
House. If they think they can browbeat Mr..
Cleveland they do not know the man. How
ever, the disaffection among the bosses is not
likely to disappear. The only one of them that
appears to have strong attachment for Cleve-
land is German, of Maryland, and his admira-
ton is limited by the amount of patronage the
President will allow him to command.

manliness or senatorial dignity. The
young gentleman he saw proper to
decorate with his denunciation enjoys the
respect and confidence of those who know
him. To say that he does so to as great a
degree as the man who assailed him, is put
ting the case very mildly. The Journal cannot
bandying epithets with any one, but we may
properly take occasion to say that believing
like bull of Bashan and vocferating like
a volcano are not impressive as to the quality
of courage, to test of which the Senator
was invited but which he took good care not
to meet except behind the bulwark of his con-
stitutional privilege.
Senator Smith is yet young man, and he
should rot initiate himself with the east wind
He may have, and undoubtedly has, good
qualities, but he is not beyond the pale of
criticism. He affected to think that in the
article which reused his ire his integrity was
impugned; but no other man who read it
agrees with him as to such a construction
while senator of his own party go far in
dorsed the structure made upon his constant
and prolix garrulity as to incur Mr.. Smiths
wrath in only a less degree than the offending
reporter. 1t was stated on the floor of the
Senate, yesterday in the discussion, that
the senator's conduct, especially in the earlier
days of the session, had been such as to
warrant, in degree at least, the impressions
expressed in the article. No one knows bet
ter TRAN the Democratic members of the
Legislature that the Journal does not wanton-
ly abuse any man; that it seeks to treat every
body fairly and justly, whether Republicans
or Democrats. But it cannot permit any one
high or low, to put such imputations upon a
person connected with its reportorial staff as
Senator Smith did yesterday, confessedly
without the slightest foundation in fact, with
out saying that in doing so he brings disgrace
to his official character and violates every rule
of the most ordinary manhood.

fashionable gatherings was made last week, at
Newport. A New York lady who has resided in
Rhode Island for the past year for divorce pur-
poses was the plaintiff. The courtroom was
filed with fashionable ladies and gentlemen, the
elegant dresses, diamonds and flowers worn by
the former giving the house a gala appearance.
No decision has yet been rendered but no judge
can be so rude and impolite as to render an ad-
verse decision Should he do So the prominent
Newport residents will doubtless demand that he
be replaced at once by magistrate who is equal
to the requirements of polite society.

the Journal has been particularly fortunate in

The Charleston News and Courier regards
General Lawton as disqualified for holding
office under the United States government
1t says:
President Johnson's pardon put General
Lawton In the same condition as it he had
taken no part in the war. The next year the
fourteenth amendment changed his condition,
and made him incapable of holding office under
the United States until his disabilities should
be removed. The Richmond Dispatch says: If
the fourteenth amendment had provided that
General Grant should never hold Office under
the United States government he could not
have held it. This is an extreme illustration,
but it is literally true. Had it been intended
to make the fourteenth amendment apply to
cases of rebellion and instruction which
should arise after its ratification it would have
been easy enough to say so. The provisions
of the Constitution must be construed strictly,
and when the Constitution says that no per-
son shall hold any Office under the United
States who having previously taken an oath
as an officer of the United States 4
to support the Constitution of the United
States, shall have engaged in instruction or
rebellion against the same, it bars out abso-
lutely General Lawton, and every person In
the same category with him, until their disa-
bilities shall be removed in the plain and sim
pie way which Congress has provided"
If Attorney general Garland is, as has been
stated, in precisely the same situation as Gen.
Lawton, he will hardly take the same view of
the latters disqualifcations, but it is undoubt-
edly the correct position. Will the President
override the Constitution

preached corporation with a proposition
to sell legislative influence to defeat a
bill then pending, the names of mem
bers being given, with the amount
necessary to corrupt each. This should
have provoked the most rigid investigation;
but it does not appear that it did, as it
was found that the employe making the offer
to sell legislation twas not connected with the
House, and consequently, was not within its
jurisdiction A charge of that character
cannot be slurred over without damage and
the impression will prevail that the telephone
company could have had its own way had it
seen fit to employ money to corrupt men with
itching palms. A shame is thus put on the
entire body.
