PERSONAL, BUT NOT PRIVATE.

PERSONAL, BUT. NOT PRIVATE.
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is giving a
great deal Of trouble to large number of
its contemporaries in different parts of the
country. 1t seems 70 be invested with q
certain mystery, which is quite puzzliDR to
the rural editorial intellect, and, for that
matter, to some of the "grcat dailies, as
they were sarcastically called by Charley
Halpine, of the Citizen, some years ago.
The New York Tribune, for instance, has
q pleasant way of referring to us as 'the
Presidents household organ" whatever
that may mean. The Herald thinks that
we are INSPIRED" daily or nightly, while
the Times, which is edited by an unnatural
lied Englishman, whose editorials read as
if they were written in London, declares
chat we are of immense value to the
American Administration. This is really
about the only sensible thing which has ap-
peared in our New York Contemporary dur
ing some months, and we are really sorry
that we cannot return the compliment. The
IGnlsa, however, tries to be of value, but
the trouble is it does not know how. Mr..
Jennings is good enough editor in his way
He would be admirable in London, uron
one of the fourth-rate journals, whose read
ers like what is called strong writing, %
which is generally talent of calling every
one who differs from you knave or q ras-
cal; but he is entirely out of place at the
head of the courteous heightened paper
which Mr.. Raymond created in New York.
Mr.. Jennings is to the Republican party
what Mr.. Brick Pomeroy was to the Demo
cratic party few years ago. Pomeroy was
"strong" writer, and immensely success.
: full for time; but by and by even the De-
mocracy grew weary and ashamed of his
coarseness and brutality, and his presses

morning, and we have not heard of him since
The Times, if we are informed CORRECTLY. is
rapidly coming to the same end, all because
Mr.. Jennings has formed mistaken idea
of our journalism, and persists in initiating
'Pomeroy and following in his footsteps.
Occasionally, however, the Times shows
some appreciation of our affairs, as inSthe
extract we have quoted in regard to THE

full people view 1t in another light. They
remember that in the last campaign the
utmost exertions were made by the mon
grel so-called Liberals to defeat him, and
that Mr.. Greeley himself pointed to his dis
trict as the most important in the State of
Maine. There was no lack of money, no
lack of stump speakers and no lack of any
Of the usual resources of political warfare
in the canvass against him. That he, sue
ceeded under such circumstances. is sufa-
cient proof of his ability to recommend him
self to an intelligent and discerning con-
stituency in a favorable manner. and that
he possesses ability of an extraordinary
kind. But during the several terms of his
service in the House, he has done more than
he could possibly have done on the hastings
to establish his title to consideration as a
statesman. His position on one of the most
important committees ofthat body demanded
the most conscientious and earnest industry.
That he met those demands with unswerv-
ing fidelity no honest man-will deny, and
that in meeting them he was frequently
compelled to antagonize members of his
own party-members who were asking ap-
preparations for especial purposes, local in
their character, and consequently dear to
the hearts of those directly interested-is
equally true. But il is part of his nature
to be scrupulously honorable as well as to
be carefully economical, and while he never
concealed his kindly inclination to yield to
the wishes of party friends, his steadfast
belief in the necessity of retrenchment in
public expenditures sustained him In the
effort to say ''no" where other and less de-
termined men would have falteringly said
eyes" In this way he earned national
enjoyed by no man of his age of
this generation. II, in view Of these stub
born facts, he may yet be called lucky, we
feel inclined to ask that lucky men, and
lucky men alone, may be called to take
control of our affairs.

THE act of Congress amending the record of
the "Army Register" in the case of Captain
George A. Armes, late of the 10th United
States cavalry is less than tardY justice to that
officer. 1t simply gives him sn honorable dis
charge in lieu of the dismissal adjudged by the
court-martial. If the Captain is entitled to
the honorable discharge 1t must be because he
Is now believed to have been innocent of the
charge upon which he was convicted. And
this Is what the committee AYERS In its report.
Why, then, did 1t not provide in the act for his
full restoration to rank and pay in the service
instead of changing the sentence of the court
from disgraceful dismissal to that Of "honors-
BILE discharged" During four years Captain
Armes, with Q record during the war rarely ex-
celled for brilliancy and bravery; highly com
mended by Generals Augur and Hancock for
meritorious conduct in fighting and pursuing
Indians, has been left to smart under an tndig-
nifty which was inflicted, as now appears, at
the instigation and through the testimony Of
brother ofacers, against whom he had pre-
viously preferred charges upon which they
were afterwards tried, convicted, disgraced and
imprisoned. And now the amend offered him
by the Hberality Of Congress is an honorable
discharge" OF course this heals his honor.
We learn, however, that both Committees
on Military Affairs have united in recommend
ing his full restoration to his rank in the army
with full pay and emoluments for the time
during which he has been in Disgrace, and
we trust this recommendation will be fol-
lowed. So -. 1898 --.-
