TOM vs.. CASSiUS.

Evidently TomlinsOu Of the Argus

animals up At Pierre. Even the long
bearded gentlemen known throughout
the land rs the typical representatives
OF the virginia. party Of snow-white
purity and abstract reform do not
seem to accept his assertions with any
degree Of evenness Of temper. Among
the p0Dulists who it seems Tomlinson
gives u bad taste 70 his mouth is Judge
Cassius Palmer, that eloquent and pat
riotic gentleman who halls from Minne-
haha. TOmiins0n has been scoring
him with regard to his assuming to be
the leader in the senate at Pierre of
the forces who haye control of it. 1t
seems among other things that Judge
Palmer Is exceedingly aud extraordi-
nary and persistently anxious to have
his pet railroad measure passed. Two
years ago he appeared before the legis-
lature IS republican and advocated.

Of the Wheeler bill. Now he appears

the passage OF the same bill, but Tom
linson, who is equally in favor, and
possibly more sincerely SO, in the pass
age Of the Wheeler bill, declares that
Palmer has injected into his bill few
interlinations which in effect will OPP
crate against its success as measure
for the relief Of the dear common peo-
pie.
This accusation has 90 incensed the
honorable gentleman from Minnehaha
that he appears on the door of the SEN
ate with scroll containing half q doz-
en- ''whearases" and q few ''be it furth-
err resolved that the said Tomlinson
be censured for his acts in injuring the
dignity and pride Of the distinguished
gentleman who lives on the banks OF

1t will rest among the forgotten archives
Of the state, never to be resurrected ex-
cept in the hotel Hobbies where it will
furnish plenty Of amusement for the
story tellers and joke makers.
Minnehaha's distinguished statesman
should bottle uphis tender feelings and
look with calm and impertuable face
upon the actions of the correspondents
Of the press, for he can expect all the
critisims his actions warrant as long as
he occupies 30 distinguished and lofty
. position as the leading statesman OF

work, gives this conception of the minis-
ter's calling, and we ask our readers, if
it does not appeal to them as stating the
case as it ought to be stated: AS Paul
tells US in the epistle to the Galatians,
we must not put our ministers on the
basis of seeking to please men. They
are the servants of Christ. For surely
if there is any meaning in our office at
all, it is that every honest minister is
chosen by the church and ordained of
God as an ambassador of Christ. His
desire always is to be received in every
househould in his parish as friend.
But ne ought never to be looked on as
the private chaplain of few families,
or, worse still, as social luxury, the
common carrier of the harmless and
pious gossip of the neighborhood. His
mission is not to his church alone, but to
his community. And for any congrega-
ton to regard munster as their hired
man is to degrade bis Office and belittle
the church of God. Whenever pastor
can do anything outside of his own fold
for the things which make for righteous
ness and truth, he ia doing his duty as an
ambassador of Christ and fitting himself
to be a wiser and better shepherd of that
special flock which God has given to his
care
