THE DEMOCRATIC SPECTACLE.

1t is a remarkable spectacle. The Presi-
business, takes himself off to a distant
summer cottage. His pretext was malaria,
but the first intelligence from Gray Gables
is that Mr.. Cleveland is not really ill. He
had done what no other President has done
or would think of dolng-deserted the CAPT.
tai during the last days of session. When
department, abandoned his post, he knew
that Congress had completed it's work. If
he did not. he is more ignorant of public
affairs than newspaper readers. Congress
having finished its business cannot adj
journ until the President returns. If all
the members of both branches are in
Washington, 4sO men are being kept there,
many of whom are older and physically
much feebler men than the President and
in greater danger by remaining in the
city than Mr.. Cleveland can be. For
these fellow-citizens and associates in the
government the President is more than in
different because his continued absence
after his attack of malaria has passed off
indicates a purpose to punish Congress for
refusing to obey mis- orders. 1t seems not
to concern him that the fences of so many
Democratic members who have obsequious-
ly done his bidding are PROSTATE, and the
hungry and uneasy are straying away.
Meantime, Congress is melting away as
the days in which there is no business to
transact pass by, SO that by the time the
President returns to his post there will
not be a quorum. Therefore, when the
President does return, it is probable that
the committee which will announce to him
that Congress waits upon him to see If he
has further comm ;cat lions to make will
scatter. member by member. in such
manner is demoralizing; not so much to
Congress, but to the country, since such
conduct on the part of the President and
the legislative body tends to bring both into
contempt in the popular estimation. The
fact is Mr. Cleveland is now showing that
the aduation of his personal admirers
which has been poured out like a deluge
has had a 2ernicious influence upon him,
because it has made him think that he is
greater than Congress and country, and is
not responsible to either. That adulation
is the meat which has spoiled our Caesar

MARION COUNTY IN THE LEGIs-
LATURE,

With as good ticket as can be named.
the Republicans will elect the Marion coun-
~ delegation in the next Legislature. 1t
will not be difficult to secure such a ticket
will be delegates to the next convention.
Legislative matters have got in bad way
in Indiana Session after session the con-
trolling element has been retrograding.
Doubtless the element controlling the last
Legislature was, in a large degree the most
ver.al that Indiana has ever known. 1t was
thing had to be lobbied; even the appripria-
tions for State institutions had to be
watched by the official in charge of them,
and members were button-holed by officials
who should only make a statement to the
committee to which appropriations for such
institutions are referred. Indeed, the last
average that even the Encouragement
has said to a Republican that it was the
most vena1 body he had ever known,
words to that effect. The next House will
probably be Republican in spite of the
gerrymander; it, therefore, behooves Re
publicans to give it positive character and
make it contrast to that of 1893 by NOM
mating and electing their best men-men of
intelligence, integrity and good standing.
Having the largest delegation, Marion
county should lead in this matter To this
end, men should be nominated who are
well and favorably known to the people.
AS able men are needed in the Indiana Leg
islature as in Congress, because very i'm
portant measures are always before that
body. 1t may seem superfuous to say that
the candidates should be selected on the
basis Of usefulness to the State and the
county; but when one remembers the causes
assigned for nominating this that aspi-
rant he must admit that such a considera-
ton as capacity to serve the people ably is
rarely mentioned. The reasons too often
urged are entirely personal Very often the
argument is advanced that to go to the
Legislature it will so bring a man before
the people as to help him in his business
or give him a start in a public career. No
man should be nominated on the Repub-
lican legislative ticket in Marion county
who has not made himself a reputation, or
attained standing in the business or en-
ployment by which he earns his bread. The
Legislature is the last place which should
be turned into a kindergarten for the edu-
cation of statesmen. The only ambition
which should be stimulated is that of hon
orable men to win the respect of a constft-
uency for zeal. intelligence and integrity
If the Republican county convention will
give the voters such ticket, for example,
as the Republican city convention gave the
voters last fall for members-at-large to the
Council, it will put an element into the
next Legislature which will revolutionize
its character compared with that of it's
immediate predecessors.

II has not been long since a man was
sued for libel in of the French settle
ments Of Canada for calling another a
Methodist. that being considered a disgrace
in community where almost everybody
was a Catholic Now comes a foreign dis
patch stating that a business man of Soc
grel, in Hanover recently brought suit for
libel against a rival who had called him
Freemason. The chief eccesiastic of the
cathedral gave this testimony: ITO call
another a Freemason per Sc cannot be
defamation of character, as, with the ex-
ception Of Catholics, no confession forbids
its followers to become Freemasons. But
it is defamation for Catholic to be called
a Freemason because the church not only
forbids it's members to be Freemasons. but
where the membership is admitted and is
notorious the person is excluded from the
sacraments. Other members of the church.
therefore, look with suspicion upon a
Catholic who pretends TO be a Freemason."
The court gave judgment for the plaintiff
and imposed a fine on the defendant, re-
quiring him to pay the costs. Americans
have reason 70 be thankful for their ex-
emption from this sort of littleness.

Rev. Hirst Upheld by His Flock.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 20.-Rev. A. c.
Hirst. OF the Simpson Memorial Church, a
prominent Clergyman known all along the
Pacific coast, and who is now being tried
on charges of immortality and other miscon-
duct. recently preferred against him. was
to-day upheld by his flock. The church this
afternoon unanimously adopted resolutions
which were Endorsed by rising vote of the
large congregation, stating the belief that
the charges had been brought by an ire
sponsibe adventurer. evidently for the pur-
pose of blackmail; that the official board.
at the request OF DIR. Hrst, had some
months ago investigated these accusations
and had found them TO be entirely without
foundation.

The Sentinel. in its biographical sketch
of Alexander Fulton. Democratic nominee
for State Statistician, said "he served his
county as treasurer. and that is very con-
elusive evidence Of the personal popularity
of any Democrat in Wabash county,
The Wabash Plain Dealer punctures this
pun as follows:
Mr.. Fulton has never served as treasurer
or in any county office. Wabash county,
since IL was organized has not had Dem
ocratic county officer, and ii is the only
county in the entire State of Indiana in
which Republican official succession is I'M
broken. What is more TO the point IL is
going to elect its Republican candidates
this year by larger majorities than il has
ever given Republican candidates, and
that means good deal, as the majorities
have always been at high-water mark

Tennessee Republicans.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. O.-The indi-
cations are that the Republican State
gubernatorial convention, which assemblies
here tomorrow. will be the largest that
has been held for years. Already two TO
three hundred delegates are in the city,
and late trains viii bring many others.
The majority OF the delegates will come
tomorrow. 1t is understood that Con-
gresham John Houk, of the Second dis
trict, will be temporary ana permanent
chairman, and that there will be two
candidates for the nomination for Gov
ernor-J. w. Baker, of this city. and ex-
Congressman H c. Evans, of Chattanooga.
1t is generally believed that Baker will be
easily nominated. The congressional con-
test in the Second district between Houk
and Gibson will figure to some extent in
the organization Of the convention but the
Houk men control me party machinery.
and the knowing ones say that Gibson is
to be left out in the cold, and that Houk 3
friends will control the convention.
