THE Steubenville Gazette, which is not
anything if not Democratic, makes the
following statement of the Payne bri
berry business, which is commended to
our Democratic brethren, who are dis
posed to crow over the action of the U.
S. Senate committee in refusing to in
vestigate the charges against Senator
Payne of corrnptly influencing the Leg
islature to secure his election:
The Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections could not see anything
worth investigating in the direct charges
of bribery made against Payne. 1t is a
fact that of late years the methods OF
some politicians have become so corrupt,
that to engage in bribery and even in
buying seats in the Senate, is looked
upon as matter unworthy of the e-at-
tention of that august budy. This is d
sad commentary on the times, and bodies
evil to the stability of the Republic
The charges made against Senator Payne
were so direct and SO explicit that we
cannot explain why the committee re-
fused to investigate unless the corrupt>
ness in politics of the day is so common
that it is no longer considered an evil.
The matter of paying S265,000 for seat
q the Senate is such small thing (per-
haps members have paid as high as a
million dollars for seats) that it is un-
worthy of notice. However it seems
strange that a guiltless and honest man
would permit himself to rest under such
charges. made first by individuals and
second by the Senate and House of
Representatives of his State, with
out insisting on an yestigation to
clear him of the stigma that will
blight his whole life, for most peo
pie believe that the charges, which have
been made direct and explicit, are true
If he is guiltless an investigation would
have dispelled this belief To do his
utmost to prevent an investigation, the
refusal to grasp the opportunity to |
clear himself only adds evidence that
he is guilty to that already explicitly
shown in the charges.
The only real Democratic paper in
the Volksfreund, has the fol-
lowing concerning the same matter:
"Mr. Payne will escape with a black |
eye, in view of the fact that the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections
resolved by vote of to 2 to refuse an
of the bribery charges
placed against him. Only Hoar and
Frye were for an investigation-bot
Besides the four Demo-
Gratis of the committee, the three Res
publicans. Teller, Evarts and Logan, vo-
ted for rejection of the charges. With
due respect TO the opinion of the major
ity of the committee, it does not change
a jot of the incontrovertible fact that
Pendleton was defrauded of reelection
by corrupt means"

A LITTLE SUFFERER

MosT loyal people believe that the
record of Gen. Fitz John Porter did not
entitle him to the measure of relief and
restoration to the army, which he has
been persistently seeking since the close
of the war. Aside, however, from the
merits of the case, the country will re-
joice that the business is finally dis
posed of. 1t has cost much waste of
time and angry discussion in congress
ional wrangles, besides an immense sum
of money. The bill for relief passed the
Senate on Friday, five of the thirty votes
in its favor having been Republicans
and is now in the hands of the Presi
dent for approval.

firsttwo cities schools are not attended
by half of the scholars; the last one is.
For this non-attendadce there is no ex-
cuse, for the children have no manual
labor to perform. The children should
be forced to attend school and made to
venerate the teacher because it instills
greatness into the child's mind and
makes an unimpeachable character in
the child. The object of an education
IN its highest conception; is the develop
ment OF character, hence, a careful
teacher is one of the richest blessings
that can be granted to any community.

in Topeka, Kansas in July. Shall we

IMMORAL.
Is the Stamp the Methodist Church Puts
on the Liquor Traffic.

The following is taken from the Mon
days proceedings Of the General Confer
ence at Richmond:
An amendment to the discipline was
proposed by Mr.. Gambler, of Georgia,
changing the word "imprudent" to
immoral" conduct in selling intoxi-
eating liquors as a beverage, brought
out the most exciting discussion of the
session, as if the subject had been an
nounced for that hour. Ladies soon
thronged the galleries and the most alb
sorbing attention was given the discuss
ion.
Mr.. Chambers thrilling temperance
appeal against the liquor seller rather
than the drunkard, gave animation to
the theme, and DR.. T. ]. Duncan, OF
Tennessee, in pursuing the same argu-
mant, called forth the greatest applause
that has yet occurred.
Bishop Hendrix, chairman, was APP
pealed to for order.
When asked if he could turn ont a
member for selling liquor, he replied
''It depends on the moral sentiment
where / am" Where man pays 5000
to the church it may be very difficult
subject to handle"
Rev. z. E. Hoss, of the Holston Con-
ference, quoted from his own sermon,
delivered in Knoxville eighteen years
ago, wherein he said: "No man has a
right to go into the liquor business so
long as he can make an honest living
by stealing" He wanted to vote for
the amendment with both hands up,
and didn't want any man in his church
who wouldn't wash his hands of it.
Various Others spoke tor and against
the amendment, DIR. McFerrin made
very persistent argument against it.
He had concluded that all rash and ex-
IRENE legislation and administration
was unwise. He favored a tender
treatment like the Christian religion.
DR.. Kelley favored the amendment.
The votes of the delegates were re-
corded for the amendment los, and
against il SO.
The Tennessee Conference delegates
voted as follows:
Aye-Messrs. Brown, Cole, Duncan
Dance, Kelley, Young.
Noes-Messrs. Hill, Holt, McFerrin,
Morgan.
This change in discipline is regarded
as OF much importance, since it will
compe. pastors to deal with members

pathy with the spirit Of the country
that is becoming more practical and
business-like every day.
Much has been said about the failure
of the present Congress to accomplish
anything, but there is little doubt that
the House OF Representatives win de.
feat this fantastic pension scheme. BY
thus checking the extravaganza OF the
Republican Senate, the Democratic
House will make record for which all
people, except the would-be pensioners,
will be grateful.
