prices-those who have large supplies manu-
featured with labor at its maximum, VIII SUI
far loss MANY of those who have been hold
ing property and real estate at fancy prices,
will make the discovery that their hopes OF
securing big profits by Its continued advance
are not likely to be quickly realized. Many Oh
the large operators in Western and Southern
products will fail TO obtain their anticipated
profits But, notwithstanding all this, we
are firmly of the opinion, which has
not been reached without at least at
tempting to get knowledge, that vast ma
iority of the business classes here, and through
ont the country, are to-day anxious to see an
end 10 the fluctuations in the value OF paper
money, and in all values, which have for years
past deranged all our business interests. The
great mass of business men apprehend quite
clearly that it would be to their advantage to
see gold and greenbacks approximate each
other in value, so that business operations
could again be carried on understandlngly, ana
upon a sound basis We believe that the bulk
even of those who apparently aud Temporarily
suffer loss during the decline OF the gold
premium, would infinitely prefer the assurance
which can only be obtained by the
application of the specie standard, to
the fictitious advantages derived through
the reckoning of nominal values. Our
mercantile and other business classes are
heartily weary of the excitement and uncer'
certainty consequent upon ever shifting prices
and values of goods and currency They have
not only suffered through its demorallzlng IN
fluences, but have failed to secure the business
satisfaction which comes through legitimate
profits and assured returns. These ideas have
been expressed of late with greater force than
ever by men representative of many business
interests and we believe that when at last,
we get within hailing distance OF the point at
which fixed values are established, there VIII
be no class of the community better pleased
or more benefited than the men who carry on
the legitimate business operations of the
country.

We do not congratulate our people on. " the

our Debt by reason Of the amplitude Of our
Revenue and the rapid reduction of our Debt.
We hold that this policy has nowise caused

contrary, has tended in the opposite direction.
And We, confess our inability to comprehend

the means they would employ; but these seem

Gen. John c. Breckenridge, in a legal argn-
ment at Lexington yesterday, denounced the
Ku-Klux bandth as idiots or villains. and
offered his services to arrest and bring them
to Justice. This is no more than might have
been expected. Gen. Breckenridge was fight
ing Rebel, but never burglar nor an assassin,
as these cowardly villains are who, having
skulked while he was fighting, now seek to
prove their devotion to the Rebel cause by
midnight raids in overwhelming force on the
cabins of defenselcss negroes. His denuncia-
ton will do more to shame and disperse these
base villains than brigade of cavalry could

The State Department recently received a
dispatch from our COnsul-General at Havana
in reference to the protection of American
citizens and American interests in Cuba. He
said that his inability in this direction was
owing to the absence Of an efficient naval
force in Cuban ports and he asked the Gov
eminent to send more vessels of war there as
soon as possible. remarking that they might at
any time be needed as refuge for American
citizens in the event of popular outbreak.
1t is to be hoped that this matter will be
attended to, without delay and without noise
The Spanish volunteers, who have frequently
shown their animosity against American citi-
zens, have also repeatedly become uncOn-
trollable even in Havana; and We are
liable, therefore, to hear at any time
of an outbreak against American residents
which would raise terrible storm in this
country and precipitate war with Spain. The
very best way for our Government TO prevent
this sort of thing is to have such a naval force
stationed at Havana as would be able to offer
defense and protection for Americans in case
of danger. We know that the President is
ready to take any steps that may be necessary
for the vindication of American rights in
Cuba and we feel assured that Secretary Fish
though opposed to the concession of belliger-
ent rights to the independence party, is not
prepared to permit wanton aggression upon
American citizens and interests.

Legislation on canal interests of this State
has for many years been greatly complicated
and impractical A good part of the time
of the present indoent Legislature has been
devoted to the consideration of a bill which
contemplates the abolition of a system of man
agement, and the funding of heavy debt
which have INSTRUCTED the operations of the
great Canal of the State. meeting OF mer-
chants and others representing various com
merca interests was held at the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday, partly to approve of the
provisions of the bill, but mainly to urge action
on it,

The railroad agents against whom Mr.. Rogers
of Arkansas was obliged to protest, prove to be
members of strong lobby, working, in the IN
terest of Camden and AmbOy, against the pro-
posed airline route. The neglected rule of the
House, which excludes such persons from the
floor, and which Mr.. Rogers very properly
quoted, ought to be strictly enforced against
lobbyists generally, and with unusual severity
against this bold and impertnent band who
boast of their power to " fix" the House. Let
us see as the next gratifying reform, these
corIupting money changers driven from the
temple entirely.

There was some laughter in the Gold Room,
Yesterday, when a newly arrived English
Dundreary, who had been taken there with
ont being told the nature of the place,
decamped in haste and terror under the
impression that he had got into a madhouse.
The Englishman, however, was quite correct
in his opinion and entirely justifable in his
conduct. There is no madhouse in the country
which is the scene of such wild, absurd and
horrible uproar as the Gold Room is nova
days, and people who wish to retain their
reason and their wits ought to keep outside of
it as determinedly as they must do if they
wish to retain possession of their money.

That the Government shall go into the Ex-
press business is the latest Congressional
proposition. Mr. Garfield of Ohio yesterday
offered a resolution nstructing the Postal
Committee to inquire into the propriety of
establishing a postal express to carry small
parcels at cheap rates. In the absence OF any
arguments pro or con, we conclude that the res
olution is a delicate satirical thrust at other
and older proposals to the Government De
partments to enter into such private specula-
tons as managing the telegraph business OF
the country.

No one possessed of a grain of sense hon
estly believes that the brutal gallows scene at
Huntingdon, Pa, yesterday, will ever prevent
a single murder; and yet nine out of ten
of these same persons will probably derive
supreme satisfaction from the straDgling of
the Peightal assassins. Certainly, the scene
was less exciting than usual, for we arc told
that "the prisoners submitted quietly" which
was dispirting to the curious who had
paid high prices for eligible elevations
to view the execution. Some connection
was created by one of the platforms break
ing with a crowd OF spectators; and

The House Committee on Indian Affairs is
TO consult with the President and Secretary OF
the Interior on tho preparation of bill en-
bodying the future policy to be pursued to-
ward the Indians. 1t is intimated that the
Committee fav0rs breaking up the treaty sys-
TEN, putting the indians on reservations and
keeping them there. if need be, with the help
of the army. We do not like the last idea at
all BY all means put those Indians who
live upon, and near the great routes
of Western emigration on reservations
away from the white mans track. AS long
as they nfest these routes and claim to own
and hold them whether by right of treaty or pos
session, they must conflict with those who come
to claim and develop the lands There can be no
peace between settlers who claim, and the
Indians who hold the same lands. 1t Is next
to impossible to be at peace with Indians
located on reservations in the heart of the
Colorado and Kansas plains, for settlers will
be aggressive. There was no peace with the
Cherokees while they disputed with the Geor-
gans the possession of the Cherokee Gold
Region. Since their removal in 1888 to the
Indian Territory, far from contact with
the white settlers, they have been at peace.
The late difficulties in that region, resulting
in few conflicts between Indians and emf
grants, is the result of the opening of brisk
emigration toward Santa Fe, and the presence
of numerous laborers on the Smoky Hill rail-
road line. Eventually, it may unfortunately
be necessary again to remove the Cherokees
with the help of the army" but we trust and
believe that this nation of 10000 people will
be sufficiently civilized in few years more to
be naturally and peacefully absorbed by the
increasing tide of Western and Southern emf

those Missouri journals which advocate Pro-
lection to Home Industry. They are forty in
number. OF course, the Secretary Of the Free
Trade League would consider none Of them
great papers but they will manage to survive
his dsesteem. We feel sure that Missouri can
not vote to close her own mines and draw her
minerals instead from those Of Europe. She
needs Population. Capital, and Diversified In
dustry, and Protection is the policy that will
secure them.

If Mr.. Baird understands us not to regret
the continued transfer OF our Government
bonds to Europe in payment for her Wares
and Fabrics, he very gravely mistakes us, We
do regret this movement; and we are doing
our best to stop it by SO approaching our
Bonds and reducing the rate of interest there
on, as to arrest their expectation by destroying
the margin which affords constant Indictment
thereto. So long as Government Skies could
be bought here at a discount of 20 to
40 per cent. from their face, we could
not tell how to prevent their exporta-
ton in payment for goods; but, if we can bring
our bonds up to par, and reduce the interest
thereon by one TO two per cent, we shall hope
to ar'est-at all events, greatly to diminish
tho outflow of our National Debt. And we do
most heartily approve of the Grant Boutwell,
