A democratic exchange of thia district published thia paragraph from its Washington correspondent: When the ship subsidy bill oomes up in the house Congressman Crumpacker of Indiana will be one of the leaden of the opposition. He fa preparing to make a speech against it and it is expected

here that it will be a forcible presentation of the reasons why the bill should not pass In the last session of congress Crumpacker created a stir among his Republican brethren by his refusal to indorse this iniquitous piece of Republican legislation. This year he promises to create even a greater stir. ..... - '

It is no new thing for the democratic press to commend Mr. Crumpacker. In Let, no other' Republican member of Congress is so often commended by the Democrats as he. And for the very good reason that no other Republican is so often, we might almost say, so uniformly, found against the great mass of his party and with the great mass of Democrats, on all important measures in Congress on which the division follows party lines. We wish Mr, Crumpaoker would cease to please the Democrats all the time and begin to please Republicans once in a while. To win the commendations of other-Republican papers except those whose editors are present or prospective postmasters. As to the shipping bill, we consider it as wise, statesmanlike and commendible a piece ot legislation as any protective or defensive measure ever proposed by the Republican party, We repudidate Mr. Crumpacker’s stand on that bill, just as we repudiated his position on the Hawaii annexation, on 4he Porto Rico toll, oh the Phillipine question in the past, and on the other present question of tariff concessions to Cuba now.

“Iniquitous piece of Republican legislation,” forsooth! Well, we wish this district had a representative in Congress (who was not so much wiser than his whole party, as to perceive that almost every important party measure was “iniquitous.” If anyone, Democrats or Republicans, can refer us to any great acts of Republican legislation in the past, which have become laws, and whose practical workings have proved them to be “inquitoua,” then we will be ready to concede that these repeated stands of Mr. Crumpaoker against hie party’s measures, are at least excusable■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■to See Simon Leopold for a fine tailor rnadeeuit.
