ment. II their judgment governed
them, this bill could Dsss substantially
as reported, and If it did, then the -pso-
pIe who were now looking to congress
with an earnestness never before known
would begin to breathe freely and iu-
dulge in hopes.
Mr.. DAnford stated that the cO-opera-
ton OF the Republican side OF the house
would be given in all needed reforms,
but he believed that the cutting down
of the pay Of West Point cadets was a
retrenchment uncalled for by any party
or any portion Of the people. He spoke
of the humble rank in lie from which
as q general thing the cadets came, and
argued that this reduction OF their pay
would operate to the disadvantage OF
the poorer young men.
Mr.. Atkins asked him whether
West Point cadets were allowed to have
spending money.
Mr.. DSnford-Not out of the pay all
lowed them.
Mr.. Atkins-Or cut of their private
means?
MIR. Danford-I believe not.
Mr.. BanDing-Then how can this bill
operate against the poorer boys?
Mr.. DaUford replied that the small
pay would operate against the poorer
boy in regard to his outfit. He then
proceeded to argue against the reduc-
ton of The pay Of the professors.
Mr.. Blount, q member of the spprO-
priation committee, argued in justifica-
ton of the proposed reduction, and
called on the members OF both sides, but
particularly on his own side, to stand by
the committee.
Mr.. Wilson I Ga. said that when the
economists OF the house set about cut
ting down expenses, he was alway 9
pleased to hear their arguments, and to
add his vote to theirs, but he was sorry
that the pending proposition could not
obtain his sanction. He had thought to
himself how he would feel after having
voted 10 cut down the pittance allowed
to the West Point nteAdets-Whether or not
he could look an honest boy in the fsce,
and he found that he should be ashamed
to confess being member OF
the forty.fourth congress with
reduction in that direction. Why had
not the committee on appropriations 1e-
ported q bill to cut down the pay OF
members?
Mr.. Holman N. Y My friend need
not be too anxious about that. Heshall
have an opportunity to vote upon that
proposition. We propose to have re.
trenchment all along the line.
Mr.. Wilson-That is all right; when
that bill is brought in will support it
readily. II the theory of cur friends on
the other side is that we must cut down
the salary of every officer of the govern
ment, let US have chance to vote upon
it, and let every man be responsible for
his vote. L find no difficulty in screwing
up my courage to a point OF voting
against an appropriation which is too
lsrge, nor will 1 find any in voting to
cut down my own salary if it will con-
duce to the happiness of gentlemen on
the other side; but will tell them that
they are demoraliztng their own friends
when they ask to cut down the pay OF
West Point cadets.
Without action on the bill the COM
mittee rose and the house adjourned.

That there may be no misunderstanding as to
Carl Schurzs position in the coming Presiden-
tial campaign, the New York Tribune prints the
following extract from a private letter just
written by him:
There ia striking contrast between the
hard-soft money mixture in the Democratic
platform and candidates, and the strong. fear
less assertion OF moral duty IN the financial
paragraph of Gov Hayes's letter OF acceptance.
The views he expresses about the civil service
from the most comprehensive, most clearly de-
fined, and in every respect most satisfactory
civil service reform programme l ever saw
uttered IN few words and that programme
is accompanied by the pledge Of an honest man
that II he s elected, it shall be faithfully car
red out in it's completeness, and that no per-
sonal ambition shall interfere with the work.
Never had civil service reforms n better oppor-
tunity to fight with chance OF real success-I
mean the success Of the cause, and not only
the success Of candidate or party. ! shall
support Gov. HAYES heartily and actively. and
l have never felt more clearly conscious OF
doing the right thing for thu best interests OF
the country"
And to this extract the Tribune adds this
paragraph:
1--WE believe there are very few OF the gen.
tlemen who have been more conspicuously as
sociated With ex-senator Schurz in the public
mind in movements for political reform from
1872 down to this time who will not be found
now taking substantially the same course"

Last week the Courier took occasion to sur
and belittle Mr.. Henry 8. Williams, OF the
township OF Porter. Mr.. Williams has been
frequently spoken Of in connection with the
Office OF County Clerk, during the 1past two or
three months. Such sudacity on the part OF
himself, or his friends, without permission from
that sheet, or the persons who inspire such
malignant filings at q respected and worthy
young man, is simply outrageous, and will not
be tolerated. The Post-office concern has
promptly put its foot upon Mr.. Williams for
his temerity IN assuming 10 compete for one Of
the peoples offices. That concern considers
all the offices as the exclusive property OF a
ring Of politicians Of which that paper is the
organ, and the man by whom 1t is ostensiby
run the jumping jack" and subservieIt too
to do their bidding without question or protest
These are the terms upon which it holds the
Post-office.
Mr.. Williams is young man OF considerable
promise who has spent most Of hA boyhood,
and thus far his manhood days lin this county,
and is identified with all that pertains to this
locality. He is no late importation who has
"nothing to loose but everything to gain"-an
adyenturer, :" on the make from Pennsylvania
or other locality but genuine WOLVERINE,
Indigenous to the SOIL and ID by right entitled
to ask for any Of the good things" the people
have to bestow and any slurring or belittline
is as low-lived, mean and contemplate as the
source from which that fling emanated.

AS noticed in last weeks issue Of this paper,
William +. Stewart and Foster 1. Parks Of
South Haven made the "grand rounds" as vol
unteer self-sacrificing political missionaries'
in the interest of Mr.. A. s. Dyckman. They
deported themselves as though the very con-
tinuance Of the party depended on them, and
its success this fall was contingent on the vou-
bility OF their vocal organs and the ability to
keep their tongues "a waggIn.' They ran over
Berrien county, and piled everybody with
" wonderful flow of gab," a fair share Of which
was directed at the TRUE NoRTHERNEB. While
in the village OF Decatur, Mr.. Parks advised a
gentleman, in effect, that il it were not for the
TRUE NoRTHERNER everything would be lovely,
and that it would be blessing to some folks if
this journal was out Of existence, and more
" blab" OF that tenor for which we must pro-
foundly thank him.
Mr.. Parks is not, nor has he ever been,
subscriber to the TRUE NoRTHERNER and con-
sequently never reader therefore his opinion
is OF no sort OF account any way, and his volu-
bihty only advertises its excellence and worth.
The paper has not far from two thousand reg
ular subscribers, who all appear to be well sat
isfed with it, for its candid tone and fairness
with which it treats political and all other topics,
and especially the answering manner in which
all subjects wherein the tax-paying people are
directly interested. If Mr.. Parks has no better
or more potent arguments to use in favor of
his man, he had better be called off and a
cheap boy" endowed with little political
sense, substituted in his place, for he certainly
will harm any candidate he starts out to favor,
unless it shall be possible to securely muzzle
him.
