PUT Democrats on guard
The man who shoots off his mouth
the loudest in Congress usually does
the least execution.
IT is all well to shout and hurrah,
but it is still better to go a little slow
in this dispute with England.
->>~-~>~--~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IT will probably be necessary to
draw the deadly parallel column on
some of these ambitious Congressman.

IT is already demonstrated that the
free silver advocates have nothing to
hope for from the Republicans in this
Congress.
WE think Santa Claus Reed will
have to slight some of his political
children when it comes to giving them
nice committee places.

THE fellows who are most anxious
TO have war declared with England
are not the ones who will go to the
front first if the call to arms is made.
The Populists in the Senate Will
unite with the Republicans in the or
ganization of that body. The Repub-
licans were in a position to outbid the
Democrats.
SENATOR CHANDLER wouldn't fight
when Joe Blackburn pulled his nose,
but now that Great Britain is tread
ing on Venezuela S toes they can hard
ly hold him.

IF there is one thing we do admire
about the Republicans in the House
of Representatives it Is the perfect
unanimity with which they have COB
bled up all the offices in sight.

THE Federation of Labor wants Con-
gress to establish savings institutions
in connection with the postal service.
There is no doubt that Uncle Sam
would prove to be popular banker.

HARRISON and Mckinley have en-
gagged extensive headquarters at St
Louis in readiness for the national
convention there next year We are
of the opinion, however that neither
will get delegates enough to win.
IT is said that Judge Louis E. Nc
Comas may take hand in the Mary
land senatorial fight He would be a
hard man to beat, for he is remem-
bered as one of the most popular Con-
gressmen that ever represented a
Maryland district.

THE plan of the Republicans seems
to be to make personal attacks on the
members Of this administration. We
think it will be well for the Republi-
can brethren to go slow. The big men
in their own party are not immaccu-
late, and the mud-slinging game may
hurt them more than the Democrats,
WE don't often see anything as in
temperate and as unfair in the Parkers-
burg State Journal as its comments on
Hon. Vim. L. Wilson and his federal
appointments. 1t is rankly unjust
criticism and the Journal ought to be
ashamed of it. So ought the Martins
burg Herald for republshingit.
SENATOR PETER is looking after
the expense accounts, and wants to
know why it costs so much more for
Senator's funeral than it does for a
member of the House of Representa-
tiyes. We cannot give any light on
this subject, but we are o: the opinion
that some Senators ought to be buried
regardless Of expense.
LAST week the REGISTER urged its
Democratic contemporaries to be fair
and just and courteous to our Repub-
lican Congressman. Right on the
heels of this advice come the meanest
sort Of attacks on our Democratic
leaders from the Republican newspa-
pers. We still press our advice OF last
week, but we want reciprocity.
CONGRESSMAN HALL proposes to Sc
cure the adoption of an income tax
law that even the Supreme Court can
not defeat. He has introduced an
amendment to the constitution that
will provide for the tax. The income
