THE DEMOCRATIC BoDY-CORPORATE.
Recording Secretary. p"


The announcement that President Cleve-
land intends to register in New York city and
vote for the election Of Senator Hill comes to
a suffering public like water to a thirsty
goose. les. President Cleveland is a Demo
crat. More than that, he was the Democratic
party in the last Congress up TO the time of
the Senate vote on the tariff bill, and as
reward for his heroic and able services
should be permitted 10 cast the vote Of the
Democratic party in the State Of New York
for that noble. self-sacriGcing statesman 4
am-a-Democrat' Hill.
No one but Mr.. Cleveland can fully appre-
ciate the martyr-like fortitude that impelled
him to imperscnate the Democratic party and
control and vote Congress on all important
measures in spite Of the murmuring protests
OF a part of that body. But TO all intents and
purposes He was the Democratic party, and
kicking did no good until, unfortunately, He
ran up against the tariff bill.
Acting as the body-corporate Of a great Po-
ilitical party President Cleveland had ideas on
the tariff question which he wanted Congress
TO adopt and among them was a tariff foI
revenue only, an income tax, free iron and
coal. and q tax on sugar. But thar part Of
4the great Cleveland Democratic centipede
that represented New York and New Jersey
, repudiated the income tax. Alabama, West
Virginia. and Maryland declared against free
iron and coal Louisiana wanted a sugar
bounty. other sections rejected the tariff for
revenue only. and finally, when it came to a
vote the centipede went to pieces, crawled
away from the body-corporate and left it TO
suIk and refuse 10 sign the Democratic tariff
bill.
The announcement that the sulk has ended
and that the body-corporate Of the Demo-
cratic party viii vote at the coming election
viii act like the rallying signal Of GabrieIs
trumpet. The legs Of the Democratic cent?
pede are rejoining their source Of wisdom and
yigor, and with the aid and permission Of the
body-corporate not the ghost, but the real
Democratic party, viii walk. 1t is the resus-
citation Of a corpse. The bringing to life OF
the dead; for President Cleveland is the body
and brains Of his party and without him and
his vote the election would fail.
Great is the Democratic centpede-with
Cleveland as body-corporate.

LET us HAVE CHEAPER BREAD.

In view OF the fact that a long, gloomy
winter is before the poor of this city.
and that money saved is more beneficial than
money earned, some organized effort should
be made to bring about cheaper prices OF
bread
There is justice in the claim that the bread
bakers OF Washington can we'll afford to re-
duce the price Of bread ! cent per loaf Dur
ing the last i've years the price of flour has
fallen about 40 per cent, and there has been
no rz-esponding reduction in the price OF
bread. Wages are no higher, rents are prac-
tically the same, and it costs no more TO make
ana sell bread than it did five years ago.
A reduction of / cent on the price OF each
loaf of bread means a saving OF at least 20
cents on every dollars worth purchased by
the poor Of this city. Ii is a saving that would
go far toward keeping them warm this win
ter, and also aid in reducing the living ex-
penses OF all bread consumers.
If labor organizations would pledge their
patronage to any baker who would reduce
the price of bread and stamp his loaves 50
that they might be known, there would be no
difficulty IN finding the baker TO accept their
proposition, and other bakers would be COM
PEELED TO follow his example or lose their
trade.
Unless some organized effort is made on
the part Of consumers no amount OF news
paper discussion VIII induce bakers to
cheaper the price Of bread. They care moth
ing Cor newspaper controversy and viii not
act except in self protection to prevent loss OF
trade. Break mp the bread trust by pledging
a substantial increase Of trade 10 any one
baker provided he reduces his prices, and
the crusade for cheaper bread win be won
against every other baker in Washington.

OUR BELyAIN vIRGINIA.

Mrs. Belva Lockwood has at length been
privileged by the Virginia court of appeals
to practice law in that State. There is no
reason why woman should not practice law
if she can secure clients; and if she can secure
clients she is a good lawyer, and no one has
the hardihood to say that a good lawyer
should be deprived Of the privilege Of prac-
ticing law.-Boston Globe.
Belva Lockwood, esq, is about to begin the
practice Of law in Virginia. If advertising is
worth anything to the legal profession the
fair Belva ought to be very successfu: at the
bar That she can talk has already been
proved, and now that she has secured her
right to seold in court the male lawyers Of the
Old Dominion will have to look out for their
Iaurels.-Philadelph Gail.

HILL, TIE INCOME TAX. AND TAMMAEY.


When Senator Hill posed before the Senate
as the client Of New York capitalists in oppo-
sition to the income tax he did not expect to
be a candidate for governor Of New York.
nor did he think Tammaay was so unpopular,
or he would not have accepted the nomna-
ton. But subsequent developments show
that labor organizations are opposed to Hill
because Of his fight against tire income tax,
and have declared war against Tammany on
account Of the corruptness Of that notorious
organization.
The attitude Of the New York organized
labor on both these questions is commendable
and deserves emulation. It demonstrates
that at last the workingmen's ballots viii be
cast in their own interests and against the
ohicauery Of sehem1ng politicians. The in
come tax is a measure to relieve the burden
OF taxation on the poorer classes. and the
downfall Of Iammany would result in purify
ing politics not only in New York city but all
over the country.
The ballot is wonderful correcter Of polit-
ical disorder, and ia the hands Of organized
LABOR could be made an instrument to heal all
public woes. 1t must be used discreetly, how
ever, ana not cast blindly in the interests OF
politicSl organizations or its influence will be
