INDIGNANT DEMOCRATS.


They Condemn the Presidents Message
fur Four Things.
Washington StGr1Ind)
Though it does not appear in the
authorized interviews to any extent us
yet, tho Presidents message is receiv-
ing widespread condemnation from
Democrats in Congress. Itgoes beyond
the mere point OF criticism and amounts
to angry denunciation. Wherever few
Democrats OF Congress are found to-
gether out OF earshot OF newspaper
men who might be disposed to quote
them they discuss this message with
most extreme indignation. The extent
to which this feeling goes would be APP
palliug to Mr., Cleveland ii he knew it.
The four things they are most indiS-
nans about arc the Hawaiian question,
what they regard as his back-down on
the tariff, his suggestion for NJ financial
legislation as yet, aud the inIimatIOn
that there should be bond issue. OF
these questions there is more indigna-
ton over the Hawaiian matter, and rs
to the tariff it is said by some that
couched in different words, he has put
into his message the ideas carried by
the plank which the Democratic con-
vention knocked out Of the platform,

People in the Gogebic orc region have
been hit hard by the threat Of free iron
ore. They have been hit harder by the
Wilson bill, which puts their produc:
on the FREQ list There is much suffer
ing in the region.
The Chicago Tribune telegraphed to
Darlington, Wisconsin, asking what that
city had done TO relieve the Gogebic
sufferers. The answer came back:
Darlington gave Cleveland aud free
iron ore seventy.seven majority. No
further aid has been rendered"
Darlington did not believe that the
election of Mr.. Cleveland and the tri-
umph of his party iron orc on the
free list Darlington wau not alone.
West Virginia gave her electoral votes
to Mr.. Cleveland aud Gsnt along solid
congressional delegation to support him
and Che Democratic tariff policy.
Now the ways and means committee,
headed by a West Virginian, aims a
deadly blow at the industries Of West
Virginia, and President Cleveland tells
Congress that the blow must be struck
Just rs it is aimed.
The country did what Darlington did
voted for the very thing it does not
want. This is now seen to be bad way
to vote.

The wilson rnl In tho Senate,

An IsrpLLrorNcER reader desires to
know whether it is tho judgment Of
this newspaper that Republican soma
tors "should oppose the tariff bill to
the bitter end"
This depends upon the meaning our
friend wishes to convey, II lie means to
ask whether Republican acnatorsshould
stand up manfully for tho industries oil
the country, poin. out the untolrness
and danger OF the measure, and vote
aqains. it, it is of cour.o the judgment
of the lSrELl,oGScEE shat they should
do this.
If he means to ask whether Repub-
lican senators should involve the SEN
ate in test OF physical endurance"
filibuster indefinitely, and try to ac'
complish by brule force what they have
not the numerical strength to accom-
plish By their votes, decidedly no.
The country 10 tired of that sors OF
thing. The majority should rule In our
legislative bodies. If after full and
fair discussion Of tho bill there are
votes enough to pass it, let it pass. II
the bill be mistake, as the INTcLLl-
GExcER believes it is, ito passage will be
the error of the people who by their
votes gave the Democratic party the
opportunity to do what it has been say
ing it would do as soon rs it got the
chance.
No effort should be spared to induce
Democrats to vote against the bill, but
il they cannot be turned from the error
OF their way let them have their way
without more delay than is necessary
for full discussion.

Tho Case orDr. Paxton.

A curious sort of clergyman 10 Rev.
DR.. Paxton, late OF New York, recently
in charge of the Wcst Presbyterian
church OF that city, whereof Jay Gould
and family and tho somewhat notorious
Russell Sage were parishoners, who
drew $4,000 salary and piled up such
ou amount OF wealth that he now boasts
Of an independent income OF $4,000 peF
year
For some unexplained reason his
preaching ceased to hold tho congre-
CATION as it once did and complaints
began to be bruited about among the
membership that he had grown too
fond OF the good things OF life, par!icu-
larly champagne, and SO he finally and
rather hurriedly resigned and came
back to the region OF Canonsburg,
Washington county Pa, his native
locality, and went into rural seciusion
and rest.
There were some per1ons in the con-
gregation who did not exactly endorse
the pressure under which the rev.
ereud doctor resigned and who induced
him to recall his resignation. The re-
suit was a church meeting aud hot
debate whereat the question arose as to
whether the resignation or its recall
should be accepted. The imbroglio was
further complicated by second resig-
nation OF DR.. Paxton, who sent word
that he needed rest and must have it,
and SO nobody pushed the matter to
final action.
Since then he has been visited in his
retirement by reporter, who was
curious to ascertain what it all meant.
At the New York end the enemies OF
the doctor had intimateI that he had
grown too fond OF stimulants, while at
this end no denied the impeachment;
said he had taken no stimulants for six
months, and excused his former use
OF them by reason OF the condition oil
his overworked system, which required
bracing up with sotno sort of tonics.
He resigned because he feared parosis
Of the brain was coming on, and not
because OF unwillingnesa to face his ac-
cusers. Curiously enough, he waxed
vehement rs he talked to the reporter
who discovered his whereabouts, and
went so far in the direction of paresis
as to say that he felt disposed to go
back to New York and kill two Of his
enemies and cut OF the ears OF another
one.
This is what he said, the once famous
preacher. and it looks from all the
TEXTURES of'the case as if he had not
stepped down and out OF his pulpit any
too soon. Alter an expression of this
sort it certainly is charity to assume
that the dreaded disease has set in.
Moral; Champagne is poor tonic for
preacher to fall back on. A man may
hold on to big salary too long.
