As one sample of how little ] regard the average senator has! for truth, we take the following from a recent speech of Senator Allison, of Iowa: He would by any vote of his undertake to give one kind of money to the people in Wall street and in the great marts of trade and another kind of money to the people in lowa, which money was now almost wholly in the form of silver certificates.

It is a matter of history that Senator Allison, by his amendment to the Bland free coinage bill, did strike silver one of its hardest blows by giving it a limited coinage, and the secretary, the power to discriminate against it. With numerous evidences of his hostility to silver cropping out on the pages of history for the past nineteen years, hostility that is largely chargeable for the present demoralized condition of silver; this old falsifier stands up and tries to wash his hands of all blame. The old scoundrel.

The lions and the lambs have lain down together. At the parting dinner given to Carlisle by his fellow senators Democrats and Republicans fell upon each other's necks, kissed, slobbered, complimented, praised and toasted each other ad infinitum, Let a company of our professional, business, or laboring men meet and indulge in such sickening gush, such self congratulations as was witnessed at this Carlisle dinner and they would be made the laughing stock of the town. The Republicans styled their Democratic brethren the noblest sons of the earth; the Democrats defied the world to produce men that for wisdom, honesty and brotherly love could half compare with their Republican comrads. Our own Voorhees confined not his praise to the Republican senators, but eulogized the whole party by saying he “admired the industry and integrity of its president, by saying he believed Harrison’s foreign policy would pass into history and challenge the admiration of the whole world.” This is the same Voorhees that characterized this same president as chief of the trio in the election frauds of Indiana in 1888. D. W., you either lied then or now. ‘ ‘How pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.”

Three Stars is much distressed because we recently made the statement that certain articles published in the Pilot were written by parties having no pretentions to piety. We are just ordinary mortals and do not even pretend to be better than our neighbors whose reputations for doing good is certainly as good as that of the three twinklers. We do not ape the hypocracy of a John Wanainaker, have never taught a Sabbath school class but we do occasionally go to church. The strict code of morals and duties advocated and adopted (in public) by Three Stars places us outside the pale of redemption. How very, very wicked we must appear to this model of propriety. How his heart must bleed as he views us In his imagination gliding past him in ever changing phantasy. How insignificant the imagery in Shakespeare’s •Mid-Summer Nights Dream when compared with the twinklers visions of billy goats, crockodiles, snakes in the grass and whang-a-doodles. What boundles fields, of knowledge he must have explored and what chunks of wisdom he must have had stored away into mysterious labyrinths of his cranium to dispose of a presidential cabinet, the Rensselaer post office, the Wisconsin senatorial election and a treatise on finance in a onehalf column article. This wonderful effort must have cost such j destruction of brain cells that it brought on mental lethergy for the twinklers ceased to twinkle in the last issue of the Republi can, Brevity is said to he the
