A Dish of Crow.

The Democratic party of Massachu-

close corporation. 1t has had about
enough members to enjoy the Federal

peated Republican successes, the corpo-
ration has not retained eren that rum.

cess, he has been metamorphosed into a
Democratic member of the corporation,
and has been actually nominated for

Senator Blackburn.

This distinguished Senator from Ken
lucky delivered speech at Louisville,
the other evening, which is worthy of
reproduction. We can only copy some
of the positions taken by the orator:
He favored the free and equal coinage
of silver and the extinguishment of the
national debt. A Republican Congress
had demonetized silver.
The Democratic party, true to its pro-
misses, had endeavored to revise the
tariff but had been prevented by the
Republicans, aided by forty renegade
Democrats.
Senator Blackburn declared himself
opposed to civil service reform, and
thought the victory won had meant that
Democrats should hold the ofnccs. Bur
though he didn't wear the President
colors, every fair man could not help
but admit that he was making a good
and honest President.

Regulating Frelghts.

The merchants of Yazoo City have
petitioned the Illinois Central Railroad
Company for lower freights. We have
not beard the result. If it is not salts
factory to the shippers, they will have
an unfailing recourse constituted by the
State authority so far as relates to
freights within State limits. In any case,
the State Commission can afford consid
cradle relief.
There is not day that passes in which
the necessity of a law to regulate
interstate commerce is not shown. 1t is
no fault of the Democratic House of
Representatives that such measure is
not in force. The 4Sth Congress passed
a stringent bill, but it was rejected by
the Senate, which, in lieu of it, adopted
what was known as the Cullom bill,
more moderate measure. Though the
Senate upon questions affecting the in
terests of the corporations, is controlled
by them to great extent, it has not
been able to Withstand the public de
msnd for legislation to restrict their in
fuence over the commerce and industry
of the country; and hence the passage
of the Cullom bill. This measure will
be long step in the right direction;
and on the principle that half loaf is
better than no bread, the House will
act sensibly by accepting it and contend
ing for something better in the future.

A Pernicious Habit.

THE habit" says the New York Star,
"of regarding seat in Congress as prize
to be awarded at intervals to deserving
members of a party is an absurd and
pernicious one. No district governed
by it can reasonably hope to have an
influential representation in the House
The most capable msn cannot suddenly
step into position Of power and infu-
ence Immediately after his election to
Congress. 1t takes some time to become
familiar with the rules and usages, and
a considerably longer time to develop
and display those qualities which assure
good positions on committees. Does any
one suppose that men like Carlisle,
Morrison and Hewitt would be so con-
spicuous and influential if they had not
been kept continuously in Congress by
sppreciative constituencies? Their abili-
ties, of course, give them their leader
ship, but those abilities would never
have been recognized had they not been
given opportunity to display them by
long continued service"
