as gained him the distinction Of promotion
to lieutenancy. But as he found a
family beginning to grow up around him
he, cast about him for some pursuit
more lucrative than the slow promo
tions in the naval establishment in times
of peace. He conceived the idea of building
a wagon-road over the plains to the Pacific
coast. Congress authorized the survey,
and appropriated money for the purpose.
General Beale resigned from the navy and
took charge of the wagon-road, which was
afterwards known by his name. While
engaged in the superintendent of this en-
terprise he became enamored with the idea
that fortune could be made in sheep rails
ing on the plains of California. Having
concluded his services upon the wagon
road, he selected a favorable location and
persistently devoted himself to his fayorlte
project until he found that he marketed the
largest wool clip in California. His iucome
annually from this source is handsome for
tune, and it is the result of rare sagacity
and continuous and persistent personal
vigilance in the culture and care of his
flocks. This has also been attended by
unusual prudence and foresight in the care
and investment of his means, until he finds
himself in the possession of IN ample for
tune.
General Beale possesses exactly the e1-
perience and education which is necessary
to make him useful Minister. He is con-
versant with the history of his own
country, not only from reading and study,
but from personal observation, having
visited almost every portion Off This is
far more than can truly be said of most of
our Ministers. He has visited most of the
nations of the earth, and is familiar with
their histories by research. He has proven
himself capable, energetic, wise and sue
cessful business man. We know that he
is gifted with rare perception in the cor
rect estimation of men and sound judg
ment in his conduct of affairs. He is the
head of a lovely and accomplished family,
who will aid him in dispensing a refined
and generous American hospitality at the
capital of Austria, and we venture to
say that he will advance the character
and reputation of the American people a
grade beyond any of his predecessors
among that class of Austro. Germans and
Hungarians in which we have the deepest
interest. 1t is important that our true
character should be understood by the emi-
grant class who may desire to come to this
country. Put John Jay and Gen. Beale
side by side and let crowd of Germans
look them over, and which one would they
elect to join2 Gen. Beale, a hundred to
one. His frank, honest face would win
them. 1t is said he is ignorant of diplo-
macy. He was trained in that same school
of diplomacy which rescued Martin Kozta
from an Austrian dungeon, and sent
Hulsemann home to Austria because he
found fault with it. And that is the kind
the American people like.

and he don't electioneer for the office. Now
this sounds decidedly t. t. here In Iowa, where
the State is being patrolled by travelling agents
of Bristow, and where all the daily newspaper
Offices are flooded daily with shower Of docu-
ments and circulars begging for support for
Bristow. We receive at this Office ten times
as many electioneering Bristow documents as
we receive from all the other candidates put
together. The Boston Bristow Club alone
sends us half dozen long -winded appeals for
the magniied Kentuckian every day, all of
them printed on tinted paper. Then every day
we get single-wrapped, prepaid copies of the
Chicago Tribune, with Bristow editorials
marked in blue pencil; next comes the Wiscon-
sin State Journal, with still windier Bristow
communications marked In still broader PEN
cilings, and finally come the Cincinnati Com
psereiuI, the St. Louis Republican, the New
York Evening Post and the Louisville Courier
Journal, (sometimes all In one bundle-show-
ing that there Is q common depot for putting
up and distributing these documents for the
inspiration of "the spontaneous Bristow senti-
ment,") and all Of them pencil-streaked and
ink.striped all over with Bristow editorials,
Bristow paragraphs, Bristow jokes and what
not. OF these and other Bristow papers we
average about twenty copies day. 1t would
take q paper forty times the size of the Register
II we were to print every day one half of the
Bristow appeals sent us by the modest gentle
man, or his secretaries and managers in fur
therance of working up the Spontaneous feel
ing in the great Kentuckian's favor" But
we don't want to be mean about this thing,
and so must tell these fellows, so literally fa-
vorfng us with daily floods Of BrIstow pam
phlets and papers, that their labor has not
been in vain. The ofice-boy, who falls heir to
the waste papers, has thus been converted into
a raging and almost insane Bristow man. He
is a grateful fellow, and says he cannot go
back on q man who Is doing so much for him.
He is the only Bristow recruit we know Of in
Des Moines. But he says he will stand the
lonesomeness if the shower of pamphlets aud
papers only keeps on raining into his platter.

In THE numerous estimates row being
published of the result of the first ballot at
Cincinnati, the mistake is make of relying
upon the Associated Press reports of the
opinions of delegates as correct. The aver
age Associated Press reporter is thing of
mystery, and his reports-outside of Wash
ington-are invariably incorrect. For ex-
ample, Alabama, which is solid for Sen
ator Morton, is counted by some Of the
newspapers as divided between Messrs.
Blaine and Bristow. The truth is that it
is as impossible to foretell the result of that
ballot as it is to count chickens before they
are Matched

Tue tslk ahnnt Senatnr Cnnklinn mo-.

TEE talk about Senator Conkling not be-
ing able to carry his own State IN the event
of his nomination at Cincinnati is sheer
nonsense. The Troy Times prints num-
Der Of extracts from its Republican ex-
changes favoring his nomination, which
show that every Republican newspaper in
that Congressional district is enthusiast
cally committed to his support. In this
connection it is well to remember that
when Mr.. Conkllug took an active part in
the campaign in New York Governor Dix
was elected by an overwhelming majority,
but when Dix ran the second time, and the
Senator did not take part in the contest,
Tilden was elected by fifty thousand ma
jority.

A RESOLUTION upon the Indian q uestion,
similar to that which passed the Methodist
Conference at Baltimore fortnight ago,
has been approved by the Presbyterian
General Assembly in Brooklyn. Both
bodies condemn severely the measure now
before Congress for transferring the Indian
Bureau to the War Department, and the
Presbyterians are to send formal protest
to Congress against it. Among this better
class of our fellow citizens do we find the
firm supporters of President Grants hu-
name policy. None can better judge than
they respecting its success SO far, and by
approving it they acknowledge its great
merit

THE NEW MINISTER TO AUSTRIA.

General Edward F. Beale is just now
the object of the hate and abuse of the OPP
position press, not because the President
has appointed him Minister to Austria, but
because the writers do not happen to know
him or anything of his sntecedents. but
take it for granted that he is the friend of
the President, and, therefore, Of course
cannot, in their eyes, be fit person to rep
resent this Republic abroad. General
Beale, for all this, is q member of one of
the most estimaBle families in this Dis
trict. He is a man Of large experience and
generous culture. He was educated for
the navy at Annapolis, and served in that
branch of the Government employment for
several years, visiting nearly all the ports
Of the world. He displayed such ability

A Lie Nailed.

We have seen in several of the Radical
papers of the interior of the State, intim-
ations to the effect that the money re-
ceived at the Penitentiary, as fees from
visitors, was made personal perquisite
of the Superintendent, instead of being
expended, as is generally understood to
be the case, for library for
the use of the prisoners. We
have informed ourselves as to this mat
ter thoroughly, and find that the Super
intendent is required by the Board of
Directors to issue tickets of admission to
every visitor to the institution, and at
the end of every month the gate-keeper
hands 10 the clerk all the tickets collect
ed by him during the month, and he
charges them to the general
account eff the Superintendent who in
turn pays over the amount, or accounts
for the same to the Board of Directors,
and if the money is not expended for a
library, it is not the Superintendents
fault.
The amount to the credit of that fund
on the general ledger of the Penitentlary,
at this date, is 1921 IS.
So much for another Radical lie

BUSINESS INTERESTS OF THE

The cruel rapaclous war the Kepuoli-

South, is as destructive to the business
interests of the country, as it Is inhuman,
unmanly and unchristian The paraly-
sis of business can never be removed, un-
til fraternal relations are established be.
tween all races and all sections. Foreign
born and native born, white and colored'
must live amicably and labor with un-
tiring industry, il they would secure the
relief which they so greatly need.
If business men and mechanics, manu-
facturers and artlzans, with the members
of the various professions whose pros
perity depends upon the general pros
perity of the country, do not rebuke the
desperadoes who, in season of profound
quiet, are wicked!y Haunting the bloody
shirt, then they have not the remote con-
ception of the best way in which to res
tore the languishing interests of the coun-
try to their ld-time vigor.

An Insane Mother Kills Her Three
Children.

GLEN Lock, PA, October 20.-About
$50 O'clock this morning the wife of Ira
Baker, (colored) residing at this place,
was seen running along the road in II
frantic manner. When she reached the
railroad stHtion, she informed gentle
man that she had just killed her four
children, and she then resumed her wan
derings. The gentleman drove to the
house, and not finding the husband,
hunted him up. The two visited the
house and found three of the children,
aged respectively two, four and six years,
in ar almost hfeless condition, their
heads being beaten to Jelly with a
heavy club. The baby, aged two months,
was covered up with heavy leather bed,
the intention of the mother being TO
smother it. The three children cannot
possibly survive. The people have gone
in search of the unfortunate woman, who
is undoubtedly insane.
