COMPLIMENTARY NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

Tbe President signed the judicial expenses bill and vetoed the marshals bill. Another contempt case for democrats to croak about. . Six hundred Americans, having more money than they knew what to do with, sailed.from New York, last Saturday, to Europe. Hard times, eh? The President has appointed Gen. Ben. Harrison a member of the Mississippi Jjevee Commission. A deserved compliment from a high source. “We all put down the rebellion.”[The Grammercy Park President and “the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash.”] Oh, Lord ! “How we apples swim.” Democratic economy—an extra session of congress which has cost the people about ’§1,000,000. Oh, what consistency in their cry of retrenchment and reform! 4 *

“Not another man or another' dollar,” with which to prosecute the war, said Dan. Voorhees. Now he claims to have been the soldiers’ friend, and helped to suppress the rebellion. Oh, what amazing cheek ! A bill has passed congress and been approved b. v the President which provides for the removal of the duty from quinine. This ought to have been done long before, for neither quinine nor any substitute for it has ever been produced iu this country. . “Lincoln dogs” and “Lincoln hire lings” were the mild epithets conferred upou the boys in blue during the war by the “troolv loyil” Dan. Voorhccs. But, never-the-less, he was the soldiers' friend (?) you know. Oh, Consistency, thon art a jewel. The idea of a stalwart, brazen-faced Southern bull dozer, with six revolvers, three bowie knives and a tomahawk buckled around his waist, crying about soldiers and intimidation at the polls. Why, it lays “the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash 1 ’ and his claim of being the so’diers’ friend, in the shade. Shame !

Not once has Mr. Voorhees’ musical voice been heard in the senate chamber of the United States demanding ‘‘the immediate and unconditional repeal of the resumption ast,” which act, as he claims, has brought millions of people to the very verge of starvation. Is this in keeping with the promises and pledges he made the people ; ih his campaign speeches last fall? This is a conundrum for the admirers of the illustrious (?) statesman to solve. Fawcett, of the BnooL-ton Reporter, thinks we made a mistake in establishing The Standard. It is possible we did, but mistakes will happen, you know, Bro. Fawcett, to the best of people. The Standard is here to stay, and we are happy to state that the republicans of Jasper county are going to stay with it. | \\ e propose to fight it out on republic principles “if it takes all summer,” will leave it for the people to decide Whether or not we have made a mistake. State elections will be held this fall in 3lnine, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, lowa and California. The result of these elections will be looked forward to with considerable’ interest by all parties, as it will show in which direction the tide of public sentiment is tending. The ontloek for the republicans in these states is considered very encouraging, aud a sweeping republican victory would §nly be a fitting rebuke to the confederate brigadiers who would have had tbing3 all their own way in the session of congress just closed but for the unfliching nerve aud stiff backboue of President Hayes.

Tis done at last. The country once more breathes free. The heavy load which has weighed down the hearts of the people is lilted, aod all living creatures unite in singing praises to Almighty God for their deliverance from the cruel deliberations of that illustrious body called the coDgrese of the United States. Even the new songs is their months and twitter more cheerfully than they did before the adjournment of congress. Tire fowls of the air and the beasts of the field seem to take in the situation and express their satisfaction in various ways. Business has assumed its wonted activity, and people move with quickened step©, cheerful countenances and light hearts. The telegraph Hashed the news across the continent Wednesday morning that congress had adjourned the evening before at 5 o’clock, and ibe joyful tidings soon rung oat from every house and hill-top in this broad land. The eonntry will now have that Jong-soaght rest for which the people have been praying day after day and night after night for lo these many weeks. The congress just closed has been, with the exception of two weeks, in continuous session for seven tenths, aud it is no Tondcr its adjourn-

ment has wrought such a change with the people. The question is asked. What has congress done] in these seven long, wearisome months? Has it passed the relief measures the democrats promised should be passed, and which they declared the- people of the country so much needed to bring about prosperous times again? Did it repeal the resumption act which leading democrats claimed in their stamp speeches last fall was going to bankrupt this whole country and bring want and misery to thousands of families? Nary time ! Not a measof relief has been offered, bnt instead they have squandered millions of dollars of the people’s money, a4d passed a set of worthless laws which twill stand upon the records as a * living; monument of democratic reform that the people hav& heard so much about: A large portion of their time was spent in trying to nullify laws which they cotild not repeal, but in every iustauce they were frustrated in their plaos by the unified action of the republicans. They refused to make appropriations for United States deputy marshals, but set aside SIO,OOO for tbe investigation, and ordered investigations to Ije made during the simmer which will cost from 860,000 to 870,000. All this is democratic reform, and democrats clajm to be well satisfied with it, but it ]is our humble opinion that the masses of the people are sorely disflpsted, and want no more democratic reform in thdirs. One more session of congress like t§e last and the republicans will have a clear field for 1880. ’
