The Secretary is abundantly able to takreareof himself. I he tight centered on sugar. The sugar'!rust exerted an intluenee that was felt to be eompleting, and it held its grip to t he Inst and won. It would be hard to believe that the Secretary of the Trensun had • any but patriotic motives when he wrote that the duty on sugar was necessary to prevent a dclicicu ey of revenue. FROM WASHINGTON. PARTISANSHIP AGAINST PA TRIOTISM. 111 nicst government necessitates honest ollicials. bul honesty in office is not dependent upon party. The patriot stands on higher ground, fears God. loves man and count r\ and is w ng to sja'iid and; be-pi nt in their service.

I- not the earth groaning under j their repeated ills'/ I- there no re- ; lief from their heavy burdens? Surely \ tiler- am it is to In- found in the true patriots of whom t here are many ; men who love righteousness above party, who having received better t hings into t heir hearts :ind lives feel under oldigations totiod and man to liv for the good of others. 11 is very well well for I he partisau, of a faction of a party to say. 'you oa not vote w it h ns unless you take an oat h to vote for the ticket that we nominate.' That i> exactly in accord with their wishe>. It i- a narrow, a partisan, a one sided view. How do I know whom you will nominate? They may be corrupt in heart and life. How t h- n can I give l he sand ion of my ap proval ? No’ never! The clearer we recog nize our relations to God. the more patriotic we will be. the more useful we will become, and the more deter mined to cast our intluenee in tin- sea le of right.

Various causes have operated to make the crowd, both of Pythians and accompanying friends, smaller than was anticipated when it was decided to hold the encamumeiit at Washington, but the principal out wits the greed of the railroads, which refused to put a reasonable and fair price on the tickets.
