Entered at the poctoftUv in Petersburg for j transmission through the mails as sceotidclass matter. FRIDAY, SEPT. 29. 1893. Another two months wrangle will \now take place in congress over the federal election bill. Each congressman will have a whack at it, oml oratory will again be sounded throughout the country in pailiplet form. Col. William Bracken was appointed revenue collector for the Sixth district last" w eek. Luther Short, editor ot the Franklin Democrat, was made consul-general to Constantinople. Indiana is getting a few appointments in the consular service. We denounce the Republican leg4 islation known as the Sherman act of 1890, as a cowardly makeshift, fraught with a possibility of danger, which should make all of its supporters, as well as its author, auxious for its speedy repeal.—Democratic Platform 1S92. Politically speaking, there is going to be some fun in Pike county next year. The primaries will no doubt be held early in the spring in order that all may have a chance of voting tor whom they want nominated for the various offices. In reference to this matter The Democrat will speak more fully at an early date. The primary system of selecting candidates is a very fair one, and to which no candidate should olyect. All this talk about President Cleveland vetoing the hill for more rain has subsided during the past week, and some of the croakers are now kicking because lie does not again veto the bill. Some people are never satisfied, and the present democratic administration is haying a hard time to please our frieuds on the republican side of the house, and also a few of the chronic office seekers, that class who must be in office all the time.

You can got The Democrat ou trial until tho first of January for 25 cents. This puts tho paper in the reach of all. This offer will only stand a few weeks longer. Avail yourself of the opportunity now. The Democrat is the largest paper itf the county and gives more home news items than any other paper besides its large cbtlection of valuable foreign and state news. Also gives the proceedings in congress and Talmage’s sermons each wj^ek. Candidates tor the republican Domination for the various county offices are looming upftn the distance. It is ijuietly hinted that there is an ex-official who has a great hankering after office, and who is never satisfied tin less he is feeding at the crib that will be in the race once more for plums. Then there are some who havo never held office that would like to step into tho shoes of Beach and Kinman for a nomination. But Jteach aucl Kiumau want the nomi

nation themselves but are sawing woo<\ at the present time, preferring their records as public officers to give them a re-nomination. There is going to he some tall hustling done1 after the holidays for a lew months | Let the ball open at once. There is | nothing like having lots of fun, | and after our republican friends1 name their ticket' the democrats will] name the winners. A change is to i occur November, 1894. The committee on banKing and currency has authorized a favorable I re port on a biliprohibiting the offi-1 cers of national banks from borrow-; ing money from the banks withi which they are connected, exceptj when their loans and securities1 which they offer have been passed j upon and agreed lo by a yea and nay vote of the directors. __ We hear from some esteemed con- j temporaries that changing a silver ralio from 1C to one will increase] proportionally She debts of the peo-j pie. A< a fact, the debts of the peoble have not been measured by a silver standard since 1800. During the war the standard was the Government’s paper promises. Since 1873. or six years before the paper promises were redeemed in colti, the ex-elu-ive standard lias been gold. We shall have a rooky road to free coinage if those who talk for it can do no better than left the people that an increased ratio would be worse than the Sherman law. To Senator Daniel W. Vouchees : It is time to discontinue making ‘-re quests’’ that the obstructionists in the Senate allow a vole on the repeal of the silver act. You have a majority of the senate with you ; use that majority, and either enforce a vote or a continuous session. The country is for repeal; the House tis for repeal; the Senate is for repeal. The majority lias borne with the filibusters long enough, and tlie people are getting tired of the openly avowed tactics of the silver mine taction in tlie Senate to exhaust physical, endurance to defeat repeal. Vote! At the session of the Catholic young men’s national union, ol which the lion. James F. O'Conner, of Chicago is president, Archbishop l{yan, of Philadelphia, made an address which attracted much attention. The archbishop held up as a model a public ntan who had always the courage to do his duty in the face of opposition, misunderstanding and calumny-' Ho cited Win. E. Gladstone as an example of a man who always felt Itts responsibility to God and to tlie public; he said lie could not give them any better name than that of Grover Cleveland, a statement that was loudly cheered. He said that Mr. Cleveland represented the people of the United States perhaps better than any man who had occupied the president’s chair since the days of Washington. The Eastern bankers are not saying much just now about the return of gold to the United States for two reasons: First, they did not want it to come back while the Sheintan law remained on the statute books, and, second, because it has been brought back by a fearful sacrifice of the products of the farm- It .is onr fifty cent wheat that is bringing it back, and we have fifty cent wheat as a result of the degradation of silver. An ounce of silver bought as much wheat when it sold at $1.30 a bushel as it does now. The history of prices for the past twenty-five years shows that silver has kept pace With our farm products. When the latter was ‘•high’/ the price of silver bullion was correspondingly high,, and vice versa. Gold has appreciated so enormously since silver lias been demonetized that our farmers must sweat blood to pay for it.

CoXGRKSSMAX II 01..MAX has introduced into the house a comprehensive anti-corruption bill. It not only aims to punish bribery at elections, but also to prevent promises of appointment to office being used as factors in election campaigns. The bill makes it unlawful for any person to “give, advance or permit any of his or her personal property to be used, directly or indirectly to aid, assist or influence any person or persons to vote foir or procure the appointment of any person to any office under the government. Hereafter persoos-rrp-pointed or elected to All any office are to make oath that they have not directly or indirectly given, promised or paid any money, or advanced any personal property or article of value to aid in procuring the election or appointment.” Any person violating the provisions of this act may bo indicted and fined any sum not exceeding $501 and imprisoned for not more than one year."

12IGTITS dXD DUTIES. Reed may bellow. Borrows may rant and Henderson may storm ' Public opinion sees that the Demo-j crats have summoned a majority to j transact the business of the House, while the republican speaker in the Fifty-first Congress created a quorum out of empty seats. In one case! It is the House of Representatives as- i surning direction of its afl'.urs: in the other it was the usurpation of power ' by the presiding officer. In the one I the speaker has the authority of a i long line of precedents for every rut ; ing; in the other the speaker violated , usage and evolved his rules arbitrarily to’jsuit the partisan exigencies of j each occasion. Beneath all the parlimentary practice of a great representative b^ily | there injtst be principles of great rectitude, A congress is elected to deliberate upub the state of the Union and to enact needed laws. All .members have the right of deliberation and debate. The majority is the power which passes laws and orderbusiness. It would he idiotic to argue for the i principle that a minority should he | allowed to slop business and to post- j pone -indefinitely the enactment of a law. When a minority goes beyond its right of deliberation and debate to obstruct lor tlie sake of obstruction, the majority must as-eit its superior right to perform the duties of legislation desired bv the majority ot the people, from whom the.congressional majority is derived. The majority is required, by the principle under which it acts, to be present when its presence is demand -1 ed for the adoption of rules or tliei execution of business. It cannot delegate its authority to one man and abandon the practical conduct of the body to his sovereign will. This is the ; linciple. In the application the spirit of American institutions is best preserved when the utmost liberaliHbt consonant with the proper administration of legislative business, is extended to minorities and to individuals. All Americans regret the necessity of shutting oil debate when any member'desires to speak further. But when the privilege of speaking or preceding with other business is abused to the extent and for the palpable purpose of preventing entirely the registration of a decision, the country expects the majority to protect itself and the public. When the rigj^t or debate becomes the wrong of a filibuster, it is the fault of the minority that measures are necessary to force a conclusion. There are majority rights as well as minority rights, and in both House and Senate, if the minorities disregard the proprieties ot their position, the majorities must order legitimate business to proceed. Suspended Tensioners. Inquiry at the pension office lias elicited the information that the board of revisions is rapidly disposing of the cases heretofore suspended, that an average of 1.600 per week are being settled, and that by October 1, practically all of the 9,600 eases suspended under recent orders will have been finally disposed of. It is estimated that fully 4,500 of those heretofore suspended will have their pensions continued at the ohl rate of pension, and that fully 2,700 more will have their pensions continued at a reduced rate, making a total of 7,200 out of the 9.000, or SO per cent., that will be retained on the rolls. This will leave but 1.S00 of the 9,000 suspended pensioners to be dropped trout the rolls from the reason that they are not incapacitated for earning

a support by manual labor, as the second section of the act of June 27, 1S90, requires, in-such a degree as to entitle them to pensions. Xo new suspensions are being made under this law at this time, nor will there be until the cases heretofore sutpended (all of which have been made “special") are disposed of. It was also ascertained that, despite the persistent statements of the opposition newspapers to the contrary, not the name of a single soldier who was pensioned under the second section of the act of June 27, 1S90, has been dropped from the rolls. As fast as the cases are disposeil of proper action is taken at once to insure payment tcTMjose who are to be continued on tiie foils back to the date of their last payment. If they are to be retained on the rolls at their old rate of pension, the pension bureau simply removes the suspension and orders the United States pension agent to make payment to them at once of the full amount due them back to the date of their last payment. If they are continued on the rolls at a reduced rate new certificates are issued at once, and payment ordered to be made to the pensioner. In other words the pension bureau is strainiug every nerve to

settle the ease* heretofore suspended at a<-early a date ass practicable, anil in assliheral a manner a* possible, consistent with the law touching the pensioners involved.
