We Defend Congress on Principle.

Our esteemed contemporary tho Ne,c
York Tribune. the chief organ OF tho Reput-
lican party. reports that the Democrats and
tho philosophers generally are discontinued
with tho national Legislature now In session
mt Washington. Three months OF tho
present Congress gone. and nothing done!'
That Is their complaint.
II Is familiar expression, and 1t is it,
spircd. wo think. by a common misconcep-
ton and Il too superficial view. The truth
IL that this Congress has performed IN i'm
ulansc deal of tho most important and In
titspensable business. In the floods OF talk
IL has evoluted. in the multitudcs OF bills
1t has introduced. in tho innumcrable reso-
lutions and projects 1t has brought forward,
in tho amendments to the Constitution 1t
has proposed. there Is tho most ample
justification and return for tho months that
have boon spent. Tho moro talk. tho moro
bills. tho moro resolutions. tho moro prof.
Gets. tho moro amendments tho better. 1t
IS the bills that are passed. the projects that
are realized, that do the mischief. not those
that are only printed and debated.
1t is a mistake to suppose that legislation
is what Congress principally exists for
why, III CpHSclNullNc I.uSlatiu tiey 'hh
their Congress Parliament. that is to say.
a talking apparatus. Its chief end is to
blow Off the steam, to give vent to popular
feeling. to publish bills. speeches. and
ideas. to elucidate everybody's fnnces and
notions. and thus to assure tho safety and
comfort OF the commonwealth.
This. wc think. Is the true standard OF
Congressional utility: and. judged by it. the
present Congress has SO far very hand
somely fulfilled its most important duty.

Ono Who Can Win.

The Democrats OF Cook county. ILL.,. who
cast "a, SOB votes for the Democratic cleo
toral ticket Mt the election OF 1888. and 3D.
AGO votes for the Democratic State ticket on
the same day-the former being beaten in
the county by l,196 and tho latter carrying
1t by 4.497-adoptcd with unanimjty and en-
thusiasm at their recent meeting in Chi
cago to select delegates to tho State Conven-
ton Of Illinois the following declaration:
The Democratic party of the State of Illinois wants
candidate for Governor In the coming election who
can win"
Such. in the judgment OF the Democrats
Of Chicago. who are SO soon to welcome the
Democrats OF other cities. Is the first attri-
butte and qualification needed in candidate
for Governor. Such, also. in tho judgment
OF Democrats everywhere. Is tho prelimi-
nary test to be applied to the claims or pre-
tensions OF every candidate for the Demo-
cratic Presidential nomination. 1t is view
based upon faith in tho wisdom and patriot
ism OF the people in choosing their public
servants; view at once sound and defensi-
Bile. natural. creditable. and intensely DEM
ocratic. 1t suits the political longitude OF
New York quito as we'll as that OF Chicago:
and it might. with profit and advantage, be
cmblazoned in letters OF crystal on n canopy
of gold at the threshold Of the National Con-
vention which meets there in June.
Wanted: in tho coming election. a candi-
date who can win. Such is the requirement
of tho Democracy. 1t was fifty uttered
in Chicago. for in Chicago it is to be conf
piled with. by the nomination OF n candi-
date who will win. Neither in Chicago nor
in New York will be witnessed in 1892 the
melancholy and dishearteninE spectacle Of
1883, of Democratic Presidential ticket
which cannot poll the party strength. the
vote for which. in every Democratic local
ity. uniformly runs behind that cast for tho
State and local tickets. and support Of
which is n burden so onerous us to weigh
down all Democratic State and Congress
candidates running that year. to the great
benefit OF their Republican competitors.
The National Democratic Convention.
which is to meet in Chicago on June 81.
will not fall into the mistake " making
an unfortunate Presidential nomination.
such as is chargcable to its predecessor in
st. Louis. On the contrary. and according
to all proofs. pledges. and tokens of Demo-
cratic faith and supremacy, 1t will nominate
a candidate who will win.
Excellent. sound. and timely as is the
declaration Of the Chicago Democrats on
the qualifications needed in Democratic
candidate for high office. it has been an
ticipated, in ono respect ut least. by the
Democrats Of New York. who in State Con-
vcntion assembled two weeks ago. named
as the unanimous choice of New York for
the Presidency a candidate who can win.
and in whose behalf the delegates from the
Empire State were instructed to use every
honorable and reasonable endeavor.

The PADDOCK Pure Food bill was passed
by tho Senate on Wednesday without n
division. The objections to it were sufll-
GENTLY pointed out in the last Congress.
and they have not been covered by the
amendments which have been made. Prob
ably some OF the Senators who have been
content that it should go to the House. have
satisfied their conscicnces with the excuse
that it IS bill Of such vicious and dam
gerous patcrnalsm as Il Democratic House
cannot approve. Mr.. VEST. Mr.. PALMER
and somo other Democratic Senators OBJ
jcctcd to the bill with invinciblc reasons
but it went through the Senate as II it had
been reitcration of tho alphabet. Yet it
opens the way for most offensive and
unnecessary inquisitiOn into the business
of private citizens. attending to their own
business in their own States: and it con-
fers upon the Department Of AEricul-
ture extraordinary powers. II intrusts
to II changing body Of experts or incxpcrts,
to be known as the Food Section Of the
Chemical Division of Mr.. RISKS depart
mcnt the duty of analysing or having ana
lyzcd samples of food and drugs exposed for
sale in any State or Territory other than
that in which they were man ufactured. or
in q foreign country il they arc in the
original package. 1t makes n misdemeanor.
punishable by fine and Imprisonment. tho
introduction into one State or Territory
from another OF any food or drug adulter-
atcd or improperly branded. A drug. I'M
der the provisions of this act. Is any mcdi
cine. internal or external. A food is any
thing plain or mixed. simple or compound.
which is used for food or drink by mortal
man. Every person who ships food or
drugs from one State to another. or exposes
the same fopsale. must furnish samples to
the agents of the Food Section of the Chcmi-
cal Division Of the Department OF Agricul-
turr. Refuse. and it costs you from $40 to
500. and imprisonment for from thirty
to one hundred days.
1t Is upon this measure that the Hon.
ALGERNoN SIDNEY PADDOCK OF Nebraska
POUNDS his reputation us statesman. Who
asks for the supervision proposed by this
bill? Whit is its real object? Why are tho
States not able to take care OF the food and
the drugs that are manufactured or sold
within their limits? We need not dwell
upon tho opportunities which the bill offers
OF annoying and Matchmaking manufacture
ers of drugs and articles of food. But what
Is the colOrcd citizen in the woodpilc? Have
tho petitions which have been presented in
favor OF this particularly putrid measure
como from common source and been in
spred by IL business interest. which seeks
the aid Of the Government to put down q
competing business? Are the influences
which were behind the CoNGER Pure"
Lard bill, also behind the Pure Food bill?
We have not heard that the citizens OF the
limited States ara coyOnl0iniDo nbout tbo
quality Of their food or their drugs. Are
few hogs in the West squealing about cot
tonsced oil?
This is II bill to be put at the foot OF the
House calendar aud refrigerated.

A Question of Duty Decided.

We havo received long letter OF bitter
complaint against THE Sun because We
advised the Rev. Dr. RAINsFoED TO measure
his own life by the standard of JESUS. II he
Is so ready to apply that standard to Mr..
JAY GOULD. As wo read the words Of tho
Founder OF Christianity. this is an oblign-
ton imposed on all His followers. and more
especially upon those who assume to DO
teachers of His doctrine and ministers Of
Ills truth.
Tho writer OF the letter. who seems to be
lawyer. informs us that il wo do not pub
lish IL entire during the present week. he
will feel himself obliged hereafter to deprive
himself Of the pleasure OF reading THE Sun
and proiting byits instruction and admonl-
ton. A serious question OF duty. therefore.
has come up with us for scttlcmcnt.
1t is truc that this man is only one among
tho million readers of The Sun. but his let
ter shows thnt he Is peculiarly in need ofits
tuition and tho cnlightening and broaden
Ing influences Of It's spirit. Shall we permit
him in his pcrversoncss to Shut himself out
from SO much illumination and so much
spiritual and intellectual cdltlcation?
This question ofour obligation of duty to
fellow crcature SO beniShted Is. however.
complicated by another consideration not
less binding upon us. II wo published his
letter In THE Sun. We should show to all
Tho world how great an ass he Is. We
should make known to tho public that the
bar contains member whose reasoning
apparatus Is terribly out OF gear and
VINO has marvellous iucapacity for weigh
Ing evidence and discovering the merits
&C q case H. then We nrinted his Letter wa
should do him serious professional injury.
The old adage Is that man who Is his
own lawyer has fool for client; but it is
not less true that client who employs
lawyer who Is a fool Is fool likewise. But
is 1t not our duty to expose tho folly OF this
lawyer by letting him write himself down
as fool. so that the public may be warned

secret about the answer which Mr. steinway alone
knows. II = man answers In a certain fashion. the
great piano millionaire concludes that tho applicant Is
happily married. but II there certain information OF

A generation ago there were but few
women who perused the papers daily: but. in
these times. nearly all Intelligent women
mako 1t their daily duty to read THE Sun or
some other decent paper. In this age OF the
world. women. at least In our country. must
know as much rs mon know. and have quito as
much sense and reason as men have. This Is
tho order OF intellectual and social develop
ment ut the close Of tho nineteenth century:
and 1t is a very suggestive order. tho like OF
which was not known in any previous century.
