One of tbe most disgusting exhibi- tions which ever occurred in the hafis of Congress was the spectacle Delegate Flynn, of Oklahoma, made of himself on the floor of the House last Monday. His tirade against the Secretary of the Interior was un- parliamentary, undignided, con temptible and disgusting, and sets Delegate Flynn down as foul mouthed blatherskite unworthy of the respect of decent people. If Oklahoma can't secure . more gen tlemanly and reputable representa- tive than Delegate Flynn, that ter ritcry would do herself infinitely more honor by going without repre- sentation.

deadly weapon which he was earring in violation of law. Justice Snod- grass is a man of violent temper and when his passion is ex- cited, as it is often and easily, he loses all sense of the dignity of his position. We regret to say it, for we have always held Judge Snod- grass in high esteem personally, and have admired his legal ability and attainments; but the plain truth is he has brought shame upon the State and deep reproaeh upon the bench. The man whose sense of the dignity of his high office is so slight, whose control oyer his own passions is so weak, is unfit for the bench, no matter how otherwise attractive may be his personal qualities or how great may be his abilities. A judge whose infirmity of temper is so great that he can descend from the bench and go out with pistol in his pocket to resent a criticism on his judicial acts is not a safe man to hold on even balance the scales af justice. Judge Snodgrass has grossly, shamefully outraged the dignity of his office and stained the ermine in which the State has clothed him. He ought to recognize the fact that his violent, headstrong and impulsive temper are incompatible with the duties of his office and resign.

SENATOR MILLS, of Texas, has in-
 troduced a bill for the coinage of the
 seignorage in the Treasury which is
 the best bill pertaining to financial
 affairs that has been introduced at
 this session of Congress. Senator
 Mills bill directs the Secretary of
 the Treasury to have all the silver in the Treasury coined into subsidi- ary coin, and provides that when the
 revenues of the Government shall be insufficient to meet the current ex- penses of the Government the Sec retary shall issue non-interest bear
 ing Treasury notes in amounts suf1i- cient to cover the deficiency and pay out the same for the current ex- penses of the Government; also that when the gold reserve in the Treas ury shall be in excess of$100, 900, GOO and legal tender notes are presented for redemption in coin they shall be redeemed in either gold or silver coin at the discretion of the Secre- tary Of the Treasury. The bill also provides that when the gold reserve fund falls below $100, GOO, GOO the Secretary shall redeem the notes in silver. It closes with a declaration for the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and provision for. the repeal of all laws authorizing the issuance of interest bearing bonds. This is good bill but it will not receive the indorsement of the silver bull:onaires because it does not furnish market for an ad ditional ounce of their silver, but provides only for the coinage of the silver bullion which now lies idle in the vaults of the Treasury and which 1 is the property of the Government. The silver bullionaires are more con cerned in finding a market for their silver bullion at double it's market price than they are concerned about the financial affairs of the

rHE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

THE IDRESIDEAfi iS MEOoA UA'
 President Clevelands special mes- sage to Congress relative to the British-Venezuelan boundary dis pute, has been received with enthu- siasm throughout the country, re- gardless Of parties. Even the staid old Senate broke all custom and pre- cedent by applauding the Presi- dents message, while the reading Of the message in the House was marked with many boisterous tumuIts of enthusiasm. The mes sage reasserts the Monroe doctrine that "Ameriean continents are not to be considered as subjects for fu- ture colonization by any European power, and furthermore the Presi- dent emphatically asserts that the United States will not tolerate any European encroaehments on Ameri- can soil. The President insists that England must submit her claims to Venezuelan territory to arbitration, without which any act on the part of Great Britain hostile to Venezu- ella will be regarded as an unfriend ly act by the United States. The long and short of this is that if En- gland attempts to appropriate any of the disputed territory without her right thereto being fully estab- lished by arbitration, that she will have to fight the United States as well as Venezuela. And the Presi- dent does not mince matters. He is bold, aggressive and emphatic, and serves notice on Great Britain that the Monroe doctrine is not obsolete but is as much the policy of this .Government now as ever, and that Her Majesty's government must both respect and observe it.
 The Presidents message and Sec retary Olney's note will go down to history and fame as two of the most valuable and important public docu- ments ever issued in the history of this Government The President revitalizes the Monroe doctrine in language clear and emphatic, while Secretary Olney's note to Lord Sal isbury is an able justification of that doctrine, a clear presentation of in- ternational law, and the traditional policy of this Government in it's re- lation to foreign countries.
 The United States stand pat by the Monroe doctrine and now Lord Salisbury can do as he pleases about it.

THE sensation of the hour lis the shooting of Lawyer John R. Beasley by Judge D. L. Snodgarss, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, of the State of Tennessee, which occurred at Chattanooga last Monday. The trouble grew cut of a published crit icism signed by Lawyer Beasley of one of Judge Snodgrass' decisions, which the lawyer characterized as a political decision. The Judge and the Lawyer met in an attorneys office when hot words were passed which resulted in the shooting Beasley was shot through the left arm, the ball entering at the wrist and coming out at the elbow. The difficulty has lead to a general de- mand for Judge Snodgrass resigna- ton. On this point the Memphis consmerciol Appeol says:

4HTCABLY ENTITLED.

For several days there has been blood on the moon down in Louisi- ana which presented many serious aspects and duel between the par ties was avoided only by the inter- ference of mutual friends to the par ties to the controversy. The parties engaged in the controversy were Congressman Chas. J. Boatner, of Monroe, and Maj. H. J. Hearsey, editor of the New Orleans Duly ,Stofes. The differences grew out of politics. Recently the Monroe Ne,os, of which Congressman Boatner is owner, published an editorial reflect ing on Mai. Hearsey, which led the latter to severely denounce Con- gressman Boatner in his newspaper. tic Daily Daily States challenge was sent and accepted and all the details for the due, arranged when the sec onds for each of the principles, in or der to preserve untarnished the name of Democracy in Louisiana and to avoid all political scandal and bloodshed, got together and ami cably settled the affair by causing each of their principals to withdraw and apologize for all offensive re- marks.
 Thus has the Democracy of Louis iana been saved humiliation and dis. grace.
