CONGRESSIONAL AMENITIES.

When blatant treason was laborlng Ill
the National Capitol to bring forth seces-
sion, and all the land was rent with sec
tional hatred, and bitter partisanship
marked the acts of men from both sides
of Mason and DiXon's line, brutal as
sault was made on Sumner, OF Massachu-
setts, by member from South Carolina,
and the world stood aghAst at the dis
graceful act. The assailamt was promptly
expelled, and so far rs the dignity OF
Congress was concerned. the matter
ended In the southern part OF the coun-
try the people justified the action OF their
representative, and to prove it TO him,
presented him with gold-mounted
cane, expressive oi their appreciation
OF his assault on the Massachusetts
Senator. Sides were taken with
both parties, outside OF the Chamber,
and many fights and brawls were the re-
wrought up to mental pitch approach
ing insanity, and even then was held to
he disgrace to Congress, and punished
as such. Yesterday two Western mem
bers OF the lower house became involved
in disgraccful brawl in the chamber,
which ended in Il vicious assault in the
ante rooms, and the effusion OF the blood
oi one OF them, after which the victorious
one took his seat nonchalently and wa
not molested by his companions. Thi
conclusivcly proves what is generally
known, that the dignity OF Congress ha'
steadily deterioratcd in the past twenty
five years, and that the supposed halo o
high responsibility pictured in thu
grand expressions used therein, is only Il
cloak of white for II living sepuchr
OF human weaknesses. Without gon
into the merits of the case from eithe
side, it is plain that the dignity OF tn
House has been attacked, and either G
both Of the men should acknowledge
by due apology or be expelled from il
floor. Legal process cannot lie against
member while Congress is in session, an
that fact leads the unruly and obstrepei
GUS member to vent his blackguard fee
ings, knowing he can do so with in
punity, ii his adversary is Il man beneat
him in physical strength and courage
though he overtop him rs the mountain
over the valleys in all mental attributes
1t is to be hoped that a Democratic Coz
gress will purge itself OF collusion in tn
disgraceful act and prove to the countl
that its name is not cloak for the act
of blackguard vandalism.

letter Of The law, and without resort to
anything approaching bloodshed, and
every man who seeks an asylum in this
country should be made TO feel that his
interests here demand the upholding oil
the law, and that his rebelling against
the law will bring to him swift punish
ment. The action OF the court and jury
now sitting in Chicago will be keenly
watched by the people all over the world
and il either hesitates or falters in strict
legal duty, the land will be flooded with
foreign riotous class, and the peace OF
the country greatly endangered.

TIE Republican press OF the country
seize on and publish with avidity any
crumbs oil petty gossip that fall from the
official table at Washington, that are cal
culated in any manner to reflect upon the
character OF President Cleveland and
show him up in the light OF u hard
hearted man who has no feeling, and who
can look upon the sufferings Of unpro-
tected women and smile. These papers,
however, never give currency to anything
which would prove their false teachings
or the following would long since have
found its way to their readers:
The President has pardoned Il. Porter
Lee, now confined in the Buffalo peniten-
tiary for embezzlement. This Porter was
sentenced in November, 1882, at Syracuse,
N. Y, to be confined i'll the penitentiary at
Buffalo for the term of ten years, upon a
conviction for embezzling the funds of the
First National Bank at Buffalo, while he
was president thereof. In passing on
the case the President says; "At the time
of his conviction, his wife-a noble,
courageous and devoted woman-and five
small children were the sad sufferers for his
crime and exacted the sympathy of the ell
tire community. by her patient, hard labor
to support her children and her never fail
ing trust and hope in the darkest days this
wife has demonstrated that she at least is
entitled TO olemency. am glad to be able
to restore TO her her husband, and to be
satisfied al the same time that the ends of
justice are fully answered.

Powderly's Appeal.

General Master Workman Powderly
has addressed stirring appeal to the
whole order for contributions for the re-
lief of the Southwestern strikers. He
asks that every dollar that can be spared
be sent to the General Secretary Treas
urer, who will forward it to st. Louis
for distribution. He reminds the order
that no aid has been asked, tells them
they are not antagoniZing capital, coun-
sells them to keep quiet, make friends of
all who have suffered through monopoly
and fight the tight manfully. COnclud-
ing he says: "At the same time, make
ready to bring the whole power to bear
upon the man who makes bare homes,
fortunes and lives in his greed for gold.
Let us determine to have it to go into
history that the men of 1886 struck as
grand a blow for liberty as the men of
l776. The men of l776 broke the power
of monarchy and dethroned the King.
The power which they wrested from the
hands. of the king was not SO great as
that which is now held by one mar,
Vino, through the corrupt use of money,
has brought manufacturers and work
men to ruin. The power of the king has
passed away. The power of wealth is
passing away. 1t must now be deter
mined whether the man shall rule or
whether wealth shall rule.
