IT is patent to even the casual OBJ
server that the Democrats in Congress
are wandering around in field full
of stumps, and whatever way they turn
a stump or two is there to bump against.
Buffeted from every position on which
they have taken stand, knuckled into
submission on rules, their lot seemed
cast in rocky places. But one cherished
hope yet apparently remained. They
would have an opportunity to expatiate
on the greatness of Democracy, and in
neat and easy-howing sentences speak
long and loud on the merits of free
trade when once the Mckinley bill came
up for consideration. But the enchant-
ing hope has fled. The Republican ma
jority was elected to transact business
and legislate on questions demanding
attention, and, being there for that
purpose, to see that it is DONE
The tariff bill, although it has been
before the House but little over a
week, is already under the five minute
rule, and in another week is expected to
be in the hands of the Senate. The use
less debate which under ordinary cir
cumstanees would have occupied weeks,
and not have altered vote, will thus
be disposed of in an incompatible short
space of time. This is hard on Demo
cratic oratorical babblings, but is con-
sistent with business methods. The
Republican party when responsible for
the acts of Congress proposes to legis-
late in the way it deems best for the
general welfare, untrammeled by the
opposition of the minority, and this will
commend itself to every fair thinker as
right and just. Delay, the watchword
of Democracy, has been relegated to the
abode of dead precedents, and the mi
nority must be mute while the majority
performs the duties entrusted to it.

THE Democrats, despite their pre-
tended ridicule, are very much alarmed
over the McComas bill. Now that it
has been reported favor4bly they see the
shoal toward which their gerrymander is
drifting. Although intimatihg that rev.
olution would follow its enactment, there
can be no doubt that they would peace
ably acquiesce in the, action of the
National Legislature. Their innate cow
ardice would not allow them to do other
wise. As straw to indicate their ap-
prehensiOns, at the Congressional Con-
vention in the Fifth District last week,
a resolution was introduced to postpone
the nomination of a candidate until
final action was taken on the bill. This
was originated by an ex-member of
Congress, who fully comprehended the
force the bill will have. Gen. Warner,
in an interview, expressed himself as
having full belief in provisions of the
bill as tending to eradicate evils of rank
partisanism. 1t is well to observe what
the Democrats oppose most violently and
then perform that very thing with all
possible speed and in ninety-nine cases
experience will commend it as right.
The McComas bill in the form of a law

just what the Nation needs at the present
time, and is also just what it is most
likely to have.

identity been getting in his work in the
alleged new Eighteenth Congress Dis
trict- The result of the primaries in
county, where there was
but one candidate, and he a man of
great learning and high standing, large
ly in favor of a Jefferson county man,
shows that the candidacy of Mr.. Cook,
who carried nearly two-thirds of the
delegation of that county, was well un-
der way before the meeting of the Con-
gressional committee, and all that was
necessary to make the preconcerted ar
rangements successful was to hold the
Columbiana primaries at such an early
date as to make it impossible for Mr..
Hole, the candidate of that county, to
unravel the net which had been so skill
fully set for the delegates. The scheme
was perfected through the connivance of
some of the politicians of Columbiana
county unfriendly to Mr.. Hole.
The custom has been for all the coun-
ties of the district to hold their Con-
gressional primaries on the same day, a
few days before the convention, but in
conformity with the plan adopted to
thwart the popular will, this custom was
entirely ignored, and delegates chosen
two months before the meeting of the
convention. The call for the primaries
and convention is considered premature
by many of the level-headed Republi-
cans of the district and State, in view
of the possibility of the passage of the
McComas bill or some such measure,
and the hasty action of three out of the
five members of the Congressional COM
mittee of the district, is looked upon as
a quasi endorsement of the Infamous
gerrymander of the State by the Dem
ocracy.
1t has been generally conceded that
modeSty is virtue, but it is certainly
not SO considered by certain politicians
at Steubenville, who are not in the least
embarrassed by the fact that the last
Congressman from the district before
the present one, was Jefferson county
man, elected for three successive terms,
nor the further fact that Col. Coulter,
of Steubenville, is the head of one of the
principal government bureaus at Wash
ington, largely through the instrument
ality of Congressman Taylor, but go on
claiming the world all the same, regard
less of fair and just treatment to their
neighbors in the district. From this
distance it looks as though the people
of that district-if it should remain for
single term as gerrymandered- who
have been accustomed to having expert
enced men to represent them, will be
wise enough to take advantage of the
present situation, and return for third
successive term the Hon. J. d. Taylor,
who has persistenly stood by the wool
growers and agricultural interests, as
well as all other interests of his dis
trict, and been the active advocate and
firm friend of the veterans of the late
war, in securing to them and their fam
lilies just pensions in recognition of their
services. While the desire of our Steu-
benville friends to have Congressman
is commendable, they should treat the
present incumbent, who is at his post of
duty in Washington, fairly.

THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1880.

SENATOR SIBERIAN celebrated the
9th anniversary of his birth on Satur-
dav evening, in Washington, and among
the prominent guests who gathered to
congratulate him were President Harri-
son and Vice President Morton 1t was
an anniversary worthy TO be celebrated.
The beginning of his public service
dates back over forty years, and he has
been in either Congress or the Cabinet
for third of century. His service in
the Senate began in 1861, and it has
been continuous except during the time
he was Secretary of the Treasury. Al
most at the opening of his COngression-
al career Mr.. Sherman became a recog-
nized leader in financial matters, and he
was placed at the head of the Ways and
Means committee in the Thirty-sixth
Congress. In the Senate for the past
three decades he has been authority re-
garding fiscal legislation, and there has
scarcely been a measure. of that nature
which hasbecome a law, that doesnot bear
the mark of his genius. He has always
had an abiding confidence in American
institutions, and in the virtue and capa-
city of the American people to grapple
with the problems confronting them,
and it was in this faith that when Sec
retary of the Treasury, following the
financial panic of 1873, he made the
passage of the Resumption law possible,
and its execution easy,and to-day it can
not be gainsayed that to him more than
any other one citizen are due our full
treasury and unexampled credit abroad.
The whole nation joins the people of
Ohio in the wish that John Sherman
may live an hundred years. His infu-
ence in private and public life has al
ways been for good, and the world is
better for his having lived.

FREE RAW MATERIALS.


Democrats Cheer Remark of Glass Manu-
facturer Macbeth, of Pittsburg.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Congressman
McMillen created a sensation Saturday
by rising in his seat and giving a review
of George H. Macbeth's testimony re-
garding the duty on raw materials used
in the manufacture of glass. Mr..
Springer, of Illinois, was speaking on
the tariff and was attacking the very
schedules Mr.. Macbeth attacked when
he appeared before the committee. Mr.
McMillen seized the opportunity and in
four minutes speech gave the grist of
Macbeth's testimony and closed with the
remark: ''Mr Macbeth said that if he
were given free raw materials he would
compete with the world" The declara-
tion was received with cheers by the
Democrats

In the tariff debate the other day Mr.
La Toilette, of Wisconsin, member of
the Ways and Means Committee, scored
a point on the un-American policy of
the Democratic opponents of the Nc
Kinley bill. He drew comparison be-
tween the Mills bill and the present tar
iff measure, and remarked that an ocean
could roll between them, and if each bill
were consigned to the home of the ma
jority of its friends, an ocean would roll
between them
