joined hands with rotten RANDALL to
clutch the $500. They are WILLIAM ID.
KELLEY, late of the Credit Molilier (;
LEONARD MYERS, Chairman of the Com
mittec on Foreign Affairs; O'NETL, llAR-
MER, and B1ERY. Unless philade'phia
politics improve, and its Rings are broken,
we think this small grab will tend to ell
nance the chances of these men for re-
election next fall. Their chief danger is
that it is not $1,000 instead Of only $500.
Tho Republican vote which surprises us
is that of WAsHINGToN TOWNSEND OF West
Chester. He is the only Pennsylvania
who returned the back pay Of the last
Congress. There must be n mistake in tho
record respecting him on IIURGBCT's bill.
J. ID. SrRAwBRIDGE and Jo1fN CESSNA
who represent central districts, voted for
the bill. They are old Congressional
hacks, and nothing better was expected Of
them.
SoBIEski Ross and II. L. EtcuMoND are
from the oil regions. Being slippery fell
lows, of course they were ready for any
thing which had 600 in II.
TAYLOR, NEoLEy, noisy member from
Pittsburgh, MCJCNKIN, and MooEE, who
represent the Southwestern districts, voted
for the swindle. NEGLEY and McJUNKIS
were back pay grabbers of last year.
LrMUEL ToDD, a Republican member at
large, also supported the bill.
Besides the three Democrats already
named, seven Republicans voted against
the llUluBUr steal. The record, therefore,
sums up seventeen oas and ten nays. This
will do to keep up the reputation of the

from that of house servant to barber, tcho drdtr

The President and tho 1IOdocs.

The President, it is expected, will return to
Washington on Wednesday from his pleas
ant excursion to Colorado, the Dome of
the Continent. 1t is reported that he is op-
posed to any interference with General Scho-
field from any source and tersely expressed it
in recent telegram, when he said too many
commanders is the obstacle to the success Of
our troops. The great Napoleon expressed a
similar opinion when he said that in the COM
niand Of On army one bad general is better than
two good Ones. Still, we believe that an off,
|. cial visit by General Sheridan to the Modoc
COUNTY, and other disturbed districts of the
Pacific siopexwould speedily be followed by
law and order thsfsin; and, therefore, we
think that, as no other seryice so important as
this requires his special atteftsp at present,
he should be detailed to this genefai inspec-
ton and rectifcation of the warlike IndiaHs
from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific
coast including the Modocs
Meantime. it appears that all is quiet in the
lava beds; that it is folly to attempt to whip
the Modocs in the regular army fashion;
that there has been no scouting for several
days, and nothing heard from Lieutenant
Cranston and the missing men. whose bodies
have probably been burned; that eight bodies
are known to be still on the late battle field or
burned, and that the war fever seems to be
spreading among all the wild Indians of the
neighboring States and Territories, and that
in the Mountain City district Of Nevada par
ties of Snakes were pouring in from all direc-
tions painted for war A general inspection,
therefore, by some competent officer, Of all
these tribes and reservations and the move
ments of all the warlike bands concerned, is

benefited by the Exhibition, and this reminds
us that although compliments are showered,
wars winked at and navies insisted on,
there Is nothing noticeable in these German
papers of how these expeditions may act
on the democracies of Europe. Berthold
Auerbach drew fine picture of how
they glori6ed labor, and, as toilers, the masses
of all nations can take common ground. Thus
the sovereigns of the earth often build better
than they know. That which elevates labor
raises the laborer from the dust where
he has grovelled 80 long. The hui
man machine finds reason developing
within him, and he advances with certain
tread to take his share in the direction Of his
own and his nations destiny. There is no
dreaming in this The elevation of labor
does not mean that brainwork or muscle
work will be less severe in the future, but
that labor will lead to more intelligent ends.
This is one great good of universal exposi-
tons
In conclusion. we may say that the German
citizens of America will be glad to learn that,
between the two great branches of the German
race in Europe there is much honest and
mutual well-wishing, tempered only by few
gentle reminders that bygones must be by
cones.

In the Vienna Exposition are doing everything
