Congressional Leaks.

Congress is proverbially Law
ish with the peoples money.
There are a number of abuses
right in the two houses them
selves viii h ought to be cor
rected. One is the heavy ex-
penses for funeral jrnketing
parties when q member dies. Ii
frequently costs several thous-
and dollars to bury a dead
member, and many of these oc-
casIons are little better as far
as the fun goes, than an Irish
wake. Proper respect for the
dead is we'll enough, but it can
be shown in a much less demon
strative and costly manner.
Connected with this is the pub
fishing of the eulogies in book
form. Each one of the deceas-
ed members receive these
tributes from both houses and
they are made into an expensive
book of which five or ten thous-
and copies are published, and
ninetenths of them rot in the
damp basement where they
are stored.
Another heavy expense is the
payment of the expenses of
contesting seats in congress. In
a lite case in the u. s. senate,
where the claimant had not
even a show of justice on his
side, it is said, his charges were
over nine thousand dollars. 1t
is very common for a contested
case to hang until the very
close Of the session and then
for ths sitting member to be
susted. He OF course has had
his pay for the time and the
man to whom his seat is given
draws his back pay as IL he
had been in his seat all the time.
30 TWO men get the pay, or IN
other words the salary Of one
seat is duplicated. Contests
are very numerous and a ma
jority of them are on very slen-
der grounds. The knowledge
that they can make a good
thing Of il whether they gain q
seat or not offers a premium
for this kind Of thing. Con-
testants should pay their own
expenses and then these cases
would be very few unless there
wasa good hope Of success.
These charges each session of
congress amount up to q large
sum. The greater portion of il
could he saved without any
semblance of niggardly parsi
mony or without derogating
from the dignity Of the position
of q congressman.

Last Saturday the Supreme
Court Of Indiana very properly
rebuked the Judge .who, under
the great power which is grant
ed courts for their protection
that Of imprisoning persons for
acts Of contempt caused the
editors Of two papers to be con-
fined in Jail for refusing to re
tract certain statements pub
lished in their editorial coll
umns. The Court held--and
very properly 50, too that the
public press has rights with
which courts have no power to
interfere" In rendering the
decision the Court also very
properly stated that there is a
limit of publication "beyond
which self.respecting newspa-
pers should not pass" and inn
mcdiately added what is very
true, "that O self-respecting
journalist seldom so far forgets
himself as to trespass upon the
right of the judiciary" So far
as reputable newspapers are
concerned, they can always be
relied upon to uphold the digni-
ty of the courts and the majes-
ty Of the law, and when a Judge
is improperly assailed the pub
LEGATION is apt TO do greater in
jury to the paper which makes
it than the judge against whom
il is made. Judges are the
creatures of, and are subject 70
law, and when they, through
ignorance or for other cause at
tempt illegally to exercise pow
or which is theirs for their pro-
lection within certain bounds,
they generally find out their
mistake, as the Indiana Judge
did.

Unwise Philosophy.

Edward Won Hartmann, who
is considered the greatest mod
ern philosopher of Germany, i;
| in favor of the government tax.
| ing all old bachelors over a Ger
tain age, the revenue derived
from this tax to be used in pen
sioning the old maids. He
thinks that such O law "would
soon induce the old bachelors
to enter the matrimonial
bonds"
Notwithstanding his great
reputation as a philosopher, we
do not think he shows good
sound philosophy in his advo-
cacy of such a law. We have
never known a marriage that
was brought about by any kind
of force, except the force of
genuine affection, that was not
a curse to the parties concerned.
Love and not law should Gin
duce" men "to enter the matri-
monial bonds" A man had
better stand the anathemas that
are heaped upon an old bache-
lor's head than to form a matri-
monial alliance in which love is
not the controlling influence.
Then again, such a law. as
advocated by Edward Won
Hartmann might have a ten !.
dency to defeat its objsct by
multiplying the number of old
maids instead of increasing the
number of marriages. This
idea has been suggested to us
by a lady, who after reading
Won Hartmann's ideas on this
subject, said that if she were
certain Of getting a good pen
sion for remaining single, she
would not tie herself TO any
.'hateful man on earth. !" OF
the two evils, we are certain
any sensible woman would
choose a pension rather than
marry a man she did not love.
Marriage is the natural rela-
tion of men and women. When
either remain single it is seldom
from choice. 1t is generally
because they have been unable
TO consumate an alliance based
upon love aud they have too
high ideas of the sacredness of
the marriage.relation to form a
union just simply to keep them
selves from being called old
maids and bachelors.
No greater curse could befall
any country than the passage
of a law having for its object,
the forcing Of men and women
into matrimony.

The Work Before ".

This is campaign year, and
already the several political or
ganizations are marshaling
their respective forces for the
giant contest the ensuing fall
1t is easy to battle against an
open enemy, but the worst feat
ure of the approaching cam
paign will be that each organi-
cation will have to contend
with foes within as well as
without. We can now see
political breakers ahead, and
every Democrat should make it
his duty to assist in steering the
party craft clear of threatening
obstacles.
The mission of the Sun will
be to work for what it honestly
conceives to be for the best in
terests of the Democratic party,
and it will labor faithfully to
this end. Party interests first
and personal preferences after
ward, will be its motto in the
future as in the past, and it will
adhere to this policy without
fear, favor or hope of reward.
Harmony and unity are the
leading essentials TO political
success, and as this is Presiden-
tial year, and SO much is at
stake, nationally as well rs
locally every Democrat, who is
a Democrat from principle,
should work for the promotion
of these requisites to party sue
cess, rather than for personal
preferences. 1t is a rightas old
as political organizations them
selves, that any honorable
member Of a party has the in
disputable privilege OF aspiring
to political preferment, and
when he does so his party asso-
ciates are in honor bound to
give his claims a fair, courteous
and impartial consideration
All things being equal, il is
natural and proper that any
member of the party should do
what he can honestly and hon
orably to advance the interests
Of an aspiring friend. Nomina.
tions secured in this way will
be cheerfully accepted and cor
daily supported by the masses.
But nominations secured by the
use Of a corruption fund, by
chicancry, intrigue or other dis
honorable methods are not -
ways accepted in good faiSG,
and are always demoralizinI
The SUN will, perhaps. devote
much space this year TO politi-
cal matters, and will work
zealously and faithfully for the
best interests Of the Democratic
party. Ii will consider candidly
and impartially the claims Of al
political aspirants, and will not
attempt TO promote the interests
Of q fayorite by disparaging
the claims Of his competitor,
unless forced to do so in self
defence. IL enters its protest
now against such a fatricpfRl
warfare; but il il come totsyss,
despite protest, the Sun will not
stand silently by and see its
friends slanderously derided, but
will come 10 their aid, exacting
.aa-tosth for a tooth and an eye
for an eye :
Locally, the SUS will strive
to be the same reliable home
newspaper ii has ever striyen to
be, and only asks that support
commensurate with It's merits.-
