Bold Patriotic Demnd.

PHILADELPHIA, August A.-The Times
lind. says:
The temperate but emphatic message
sent to Congress by President Cleveland
yesterday on the fishery dispute, will
awaken universal interest in the question,
aud the full, concise and dispassionate
presentation of the issue by the Executive
will dwarf partisanship in popular discus
sion and summon the nation to the stand
ard of craftsmanship in treating great in
ternational controversies. It is call upon
Congress that no patriot will wish TO dis
regard, and that no driveling partisan will
dare 70 evade.
1t is recorded to the discredit of the
Senate that il deliberately sacrificed great
interests of American trade and important
rights of American citizens by refusing to
accept any treaty adjustment of the fishery
dispute. Not only did the Senate reject,
by a strict party vote, q treaty that would
have remedied all just complaints, but by
the same party vote il refused even to
allow the treaty to be open to amend
ment to meet real or pretend
ed objections. IL was q purely parti-
san prostitution of . grave international
dispute 10 meet the urgent political neces-
sites Of national campaign, and it seems
to have been done in ignorance of both ex-
isting and expired treaty 'stipulstions. It
was ineonsiderately assumed that the re-
lection of the treaty would keep open the
grievances OF our fishermen and make them
available for the dire necessities of party
that apparently hopes for success only by
evasion of the great industrial, CONNER
cial and financial interests of the Republic.
Had President Cleveland been less a
patriot and statesman and more 8 dema-
goyue and clap-trsp partisan. he could and
would have met the issue as the jingo polit-
ical policy Of the age dictated. He could
have outhid the petty partisan traders In
the Senate by IN appeal to popular preju-
dice in the shape OF prompt enforcement OF
uon-intercourse and possible disruption Of
peaceable relations with England.
II would have disturbed commerce
and trade; it would have spread dis
trust throughout the sensitive financial and
business circles of the land, and it would
have inflicted large measure of injury up
on our own people, but would have been
called good politics and would have been
vindicated by the fresh example Of the SEN
ate; but he preferred to syow his faith In
the intelligence and integrity Of the Amer
lean people by presenting the issue to the
nation and the world on the highest plane
of statesmanship, and he viii be manfully
sustained by the business intelligence of all
parties.

THE election of 1884, when it was claim
ed the whole country was mp and rushing
20 the polls, presents some remarkable ex'
hibitions of either want of confidence in
the candidates or indifference to the result.
A reference to the Presidential vote Of
1884 shows that the vote in New York
State was over one hundred thousand
short of the registry, and the natural in
crosse.
In the country at large the vote was
short three million eight hundred thou
sand. That is problem which should be
studied by those engaged in estimating the
vote to be cast this fall. Where will that
large vote he given, and how can 1t be got
out? The addition of slight percentage
10 either column may determine the Presi-
deutial contest. Success goes with the
hidden vote.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Mr.. CLEyELAND's prompt response to
Congress upon the rejection OF the fisheries
treaty has attracted more widespread at
tentiou and comment than any other state
document of recent date. The character
of the comment is, Of course, influenced
by the fact tnat this is presidential
year" The Republican politicians con-
denim it, to man, and the Democratic
politicians, to man, praise it, and regard
it ~ the swimming card"
They both are wrong 10 their view OF it
By no process of reasoning can this doc
ument from the President to Congress
on q most important international ones
ton, be construed into q partisan mani
festo. In it there is no word or phrase
limiting at any thing of the sort.
A treaty for the settlement of grave in
ternational difficulties has been rejected by
the Senate. The President is thereby re.
duced to the necessity of the last resort
hostile measures. There could be no
other way out Of the diff
Guilty consistent with the honor
and dignity of our flag. He, Immediately
upon the rejection of the treaty, notifies
Congress of his intention to use retaliatory
measures and asks that the present law be
so strengthened as to allow him to take
measures against Canada that will fully
protect our citizens and place Canada upon
the same footing that she places the United
States. The President declares that be
will set under the present law and carry
il ont, 81 far as it goes, when the necessity
arises. But be informs Congress that 1t
does not 90 far enough and asks that it be
strengthened in . more comprehensive law.
Immediately upon the receipt Of this
message the politiciAns-on the Republic
can side-excitedly accused the President
of political motives. Why? They cannot
tell why, except to declare that there is
no necessity for an additional law.
But the President very plainly shows
wherein there is an impsritive necessity
for an extension of the law If we are to
place Canadian citizens with regard to
America, upon an equal footing with
Americans, in regard to Canals, and re-
taliste literally. The present law, 50 far
as il goes, the President distinctly says he
viii take advantage Of, but the law, he
incidentally points out, win not be sufi-
Gent in the event Of resort to retalia-
ton.
This cannot be construed into . party
matter, though it may slste the Democratic
party.
1t need not confound the Republican
politicians. There is not word, nor
hint, rejecting upon the action Of the Re
publican Senate. The President might
have brought grave charges against the
Senate for rejecting the treaty without
even an attempt to improve it by amend
ment. He simply takes the course
that all Presidents IN like
uredicament have taken. Whenever
a resort to hostilities hss been necessary

The Reys. Small and Jones as Political
Preachers.

Preachers.
| To the Editor ofLhs REGISTER:
SIR:-If the Rev. Sam Small and the
Rev. Sam Jones are commissioned by
Heaven to preach the gospel Of peace, love
and good will to man, then why is it that
instead Of preaching the gospel, as they
claim to be commissioned to do, they are
spending their dearly paid for time IN the
sacred book, denouncing the Democratic
and Republican parties? If Mr.. Speaker
Carlisle and our public men are ss bad as
they cay thsy are, why don't these reyer-
eud gentlemen pray for them, instead OF
denouncing them? Would not such &C
ton toward our great political parties and
political leaders be more in conformity to
the teaching Of our Saviour, than the one
of denuuciation pursued by these two SEN
sstional meteors? The writer has passed
his three-score years, has been a close OBJ
server of the times through which he has
passed, and a. result of his observations
and experience, he chronicles the fact that
the seed of the church, the foundation OF
.he church, is in the hearts OF the good
men aud women who worship God in their
closets, 10 to speak. Sensational men and
women, such ss are now, (unwisely, IN my
Judgment decorating and ornamentiDg
our church pulpits, are like seed sown in
the stony places, they have no soil, hence
they die soon.
II the gospel of Jesus permits, or auth
orizes, or approves Of the style OF preach
my adopted and prscticed by these two
gentlemen, then il is q clear that the mil
lions of christian men and women through
out the world, who believe and worship
God differently, are wrong. II the gospel
means denunciation of everything and
sverybo except Sam Jones and Sam
Small, then, they alone, are commissioned
to preach the gospel, for the certainly do 1t
to perfection. If il can be shown 10y any
one that these two saints have at any
place or at any time, been the means oil, IN
Gods hands, of saving souls, or doing any
permanent good to anyone religiously, l
am in ignorance of such fact, and will he
glad 10 hear of it. In the latter days of
the Methodist church our camp meetings
always resulted in great rewards Of relig-
ion and the salvation Of hundreds and
thousands Of souls. How do they result
now? Sensational preachers are sought
after aud employed, camp grounds are
changed into villages, Incorporated and
there is really nothing about camp
ground now to remind you of the old
camp meetings. In conclusion, will say,
and I but express the Judgment of thous-
ands, that the two Sans were called to
preach politics, and not the gospel.

MARTINS FERRY NOTES

II has been intimsted quite frequently
that the Wheeling Natural Gas Company
would, when it came time TO make ne"
contracts for gas for private consumPton'
advance the price from % to % per cent,
and would, In come cases ut least, raiee the
price of gas to factories 10 such an extent
that its use would be Inconsistent WITH
economy. Already in several instances
the company has refused to make contrsc,S
with private consumers, and at the stand
ard Iron Company's works arrangement fs
had 10 be made for the use Of coal in the
new part Of this plant recently erected. In
view Of these things, our private consum.
ers have all but one signed an agreement
not TO make contract for further use Oh
the gas at any advance whatever, nor I'LL
ell the factories have been supplied wiz
all the fuel they need or want. Several
persons building assured that contracts
can not be made at the old rate nave
dubbed together and ordered several car
loads of bard coal to be used this winter.
1t is very probable that almost all our
private gas consumers will 90 back to coal
and oil this winter. 1t IL also
thought BY our business men that they can
arrange by lighting the city with electric
ity at little more than the price for light
now charged by the gas company. Ii tins
is possible, it would be an immense saving
although the new lights cost several times
as much as gas, for the using Of the gaS for
light neceesitates the repapering of rooms
wherein il is used about once year. Our
people can much better afford to put up
with the annoyance Of carrying coal and
filling lamps than to allow our factories to
be driven out by the gas company.
