Hon. Bill Suizer, of New York,
and Hon. Dick Prttigrew. Of South
Dakota are holding hjgh carnival
respectively in the house and srua g
of the United States congress and
making such a joint and common
spectacIes of themselves that Bailey
and Mason and the other clowns and
fakirs of low degree are lost to pub
lie sight and given an inconspicuous
place in the back row of common
freaks. Sulzer and Pettigrew are
in a chronic condition of wanting to
know the unknowabie, and are attiict
ed with the uncomfortable delusion
that the rest of the country shares
their curiosity. They do not feel
the yoke of duty CALLING their ne~ks
but they are consumed with an eager
desire to SNAKE it hot for the adj
ministration,' and with this laudabIe
ambition constantly goading them
on they daily fire at the bill clerks
of the two Legislative bodies rcso-
buttons drawn in anger and resent
ment and aimed at the ever appre-
c~iativs galleries.
This is all very we'll as a form Of
amusement for Messrs. Sulzer and
Pettigrew, and if they enjoy the
position in which they stand ,he res,
of Us need not complain. If they
like that kind OF amusement that i:
just thu kind of amusement that will
suit them. But the people of New
York and South Dakota have som;
interest in this matter and they will
not, we imagine, be particular,
gratifed at the doubtful distinction
due them as the harbor of such quee
craft. We cannot speak SO mucl
for New York, because New Yorl
is sometimes proud of thing tina
would make any other state or cit
blush itself into apopiexy, and some
times is ashamed of things tina
woaid be pleasing to the people Q
. less m%ercurial temperament, bu
we know something of South Dakot
and something of how South Dakot
feel. ut being pointed out as th
grazing ground of this wild ass Q
the desert. The people of Sou.
Dakoss are waiting with no lit.l
impotence for the coming of a gen
eral election in which they can E,
press their views ON the question @
Pettigrew's pettiness, and while tn
verdict caunot directly reach ii,
object of their contempt the Sout
Dakotans will let P-ttigrew kno,
what they think of him.
As for Mr.. Sulzer, his New Yor
constituency must take that matte
IN hand. Republicans are quit
content that he and Pettigrew shal
stand as examples of what demo
rracy can do when it is at large an
noLody watching. ST. panj III
