ernments, unless they hold that Congress
has the right to interfere under its
power to regulate commerce between
the States If the committee, several
of whose members are lawyers, or, at
least, men of affairs, had been little
more explicit and given the outlines of
the measure which they believe will
break up the cattle combine, they would
have helped their cause. The country
at large is with the stOckmen, and will
give them hearty support when line of
policy is clearly defined which COM
mends itself to their Judgment. This
and similar meetings have made one
thing very clear, namely, that the strict
construction of the Constitution, which
was the leading dogma of a political
party few years ago, and is held by
many now when the general govern
ment is urged to assume some positive
power, will not do for the present time,
when a nations commerce cannot be
fettered by State lines and wrongs pre-
vented by State laws.

SENATOR MORGAN's scheme for send
ing the cOlOred people to Africa meets
with deserved contempt from intelligent
representatives of that race. 1t is quite
in keeping with a Southern BOurbon's
ideas of justice and craftsmanship to
forcibly expel from the country people
whose ancestors were forcibly brought
here by men of the Morgan kind. The
cOlored people are right in denouncing
the suggestion. They have as much
right here as the whites, and they should
stay here and fight it out on this line.

BRICE AND DOODLE.

The caucus nomination of Calvin 5.
Brice for United States Senator in Ohio
is probably equivalent to his election,
which may therefore be considered
fixed fact. Under the circumstances, it
is the most conspicuous and shameless
instance on record of the triumph of
money in politics. The election of
Senator Payne, six years ago, was doubt
less as corrupt, but it was more quietly
conducted, was not so widely advertised
in advance, and was less defiant of pub
lie opinion. The manner in which Brice
started in to buy the senatOrship was In
itself a defiance of public opinion. Max
ing no pretense to craftsmanship, and
with little or no experience even as
politician, he had no claims even on his
own party, much less to represent the
great State of Ohio In the Senate. His
only claim was his wealth, his sole quail
fication his money. With these he bade
defiance to public opinion, and entered
the contest with the confidence of one
who understood the work before him
and just how to accomplish it. He knew
the Democratic party of Ohio and the
men he had to deal with. The result is
vindication of his confidence, and, all
things considered, the most open and
shameless purchase of high Office that
has ever occurred in American politics.
1t is unfortunate for the great State of
Ohio, considerably more than One-half of
whose people are opposed to the Demo-
cratic party, that it has to be represented
in the Senate by any Democrat, but far
more unfortunate that it should be
made, for second time, the conspicuous
scene of national scandal in the public
sale of its senatorship to the highest
bidder.
1t will probably turn out that the elec-
ton of Brice is part of a movement to
boom Grover Cleveland for 1892. In the
last campaign Cleveland, while Presi.
dent, contributed $4,000 to the cam.
paign fund which Brice was handling
| and their relations are decidedly
chummy. 1t will also probably turn
out that the recent conference oi
Democratic politicians of Ohio and In
diana, ut Fort Wayne, had reference tt
a compact by which, in return for the
Sentinefs silence concerning Brice's
corrupt campaign, his influence should
be thrown for ex- Governor Gray for the
| second place with Cleveland. 1t is by
| such schemes as these that "the most
interesting personality in public life" j.

Church of the United States of America.

some very good advice was given to the
President and Cabinet-who sat by his
side-if they needed it. OF that have no
opinion. Laughter And then he went
on to contrast the yulgarity of Jackson
with the dignity of Washington. For the
first time i'll my life heard the word ''vul-
garity" attributed to Andrew Jackson, but
in the mind of this bishop, apparently
because Jackson was the champion and
friend of the common people, therefore he
must be vulgar. The vulgarity of Jackson.
l repel it with every emotion of my breast
and sensibilities. He was in no sense
vulgar man. Against his private life moth
ing was ever breathed. The worst thing
the Whig party could say of him was that
he had married a woman who had been
legally divorced by the Legislature of the
State of Virginia, but there were doubts
whether State rights would allow such 8
divorce. because it might destroy the con-
tract as against the objections of the Con-
stltution. Laughterl. For her sake, he
appealed to the State of Kentucky, where
they lived. and obtained divorce without
a contest, and married her again, so that
nothing should appear against that lovely
and loved woman: lovely not III person, as
we say women are beautiful, but lovely be-
cause she was as near good as is permitted
for mortal man or woman TO be. APP
plausel. That was her character. Can the
mugwumps say this of the man they want
to make President9
Bishop Potter coutrasted Jackson with
Washington. The time has gone by when
we fall down and worship Washington
without examination. Unless history de-
ceives me, General Washington had all the
frailties of other men, and some of them
little in excess good and great man as he
was: and love him because of those frall-
ties. Laughter. When Washing gton was
in Philadelphia, repairing the presidential
mansion, he get into a quarrel with bis
painter and he chased that painter all over
the building and down into an outer shed.
to catch him and thrash him. and just
escaped breaking his neck in that chase. L
say again, am on the question of dignity.
If a painter had assaulted me, when was
younger, 1 should have chased him laugh
teri, and L like to know that Washington
did, but do not want any bishop TO set me
up on that account. Laughter. Bishop
Potter. for all his talk about the vulgarity
of Andrew Jackson, yet voted for that
man who made possible the spectacle of a
mother in the mad house. a son in the poor
house, and a father in the White House.
