And it is very natural to inquire whom
the Democracy will nominate for President
Here, we apprehend, they are in as mucf
difficulty rs they are about their platform
The only thing in regard to which they real
ly agree is that which they must try to hide
their natural sympathy with the rebellion
Indeed, this is the chronic plank in the
Democratic platform.-Press.
Col. John w. Forney has returned from
England and resumed the editorial chair o
the Press. His foreign travel does not seem
to have added anything to the breadth OIL
wisdom of his political views. He still
chirps about the Democrats as rebel sympa-
thisers and perhaps believes that they are
"a renegade is worse than ten Turks" it is
said, and as Col. Forney was formerly a
Democrat he deems it no more than his
bounden duty to villify the political party
from which he deserted. What he means
by the last sentence of the article quoted
above it is hard to understand. Certainly
neither Democratic State or National plat
forms have contained anything showing
sympathy with the rebellion. 1t is very sill
ly, this twaddle about the Democrats being
rebels, and the Press ought to be free from
it. During Col. Forney's sojourn abroad he
is credited with having done good work for
the Centennial cause and to have awakened
a lively sympathy for the success of the Ex-
position. Does he imagine it will tend to
hearty good feeling to abuse a very large
proportion of the people of the United States
in such foolish words as those we have taken
from his paper? He is too sensible man
to think it possible.

Belknap's impeachment should be the be-

Belknap's impeachment should be the be-
ginning of thorough reform in the whole
rotten system of monopoly traders at mill
tary posts in the Indian country. Why
should any one man or firm be given the
sole right to sell goods to the poor soldiers
banished to distant fort, and thus be en-
abled to charge them extortionate prices for
such articles as they cannot obtain from
their commissary, and must therefore buy
or go without? Why should the still more
lucrative right Of trading with the Indians
at these posts be parceled out to favOrites or
to the highest bidder, as monopoly privi-
leges The effect is that public officers are
corrupted, and both the Indians and soldiers
are robbed outrageously. The Indian may
not sell his buffalo-skins to anybody except
the licensed trader, and must, in consequence
virtually give them away, while the calicoes
and trnkets he buys are charged to him at
six or ten times their price in the East. This
is monstrous wrong, for which there is no
excuse, except that it is handy way to pro-
vide for the Orville Grants and other Pres
idential favorites, and to supply the wives
ofCabinet Ministers with abundant pin mon
ey. Let the whole system be abolished
and trading everywhere be thrown open to
the fullest competition.-PhiiadeIphia Times
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1876-03-24
PIIRE AND yIRTrOuS

In these troublous times when Cabinet
officers, foreign ministers, members of the
Presidents household and high officials are
tumbling from their lofty positions when
rottenness and corruption are being brought
to light in every department of the Govern
ment; when " crooked whisky and
Crooked" ways is the rule rather than the
exception, it is cheering to the hearts of the
Respondent people to find one band of pure
and noble statesmen to whom the honor OF
their country is dearer than aught else. So
sensitive are these yirtuous patriots that they
step outside of the line of legitimate duty
and investigate matters which under other
circumstances would be dismissed with con
tempt.
Mr.. Richard III. Dana Jr. of Massachusetts,
a scholar and gentleman, thoroughly con-
versant with international law and Dip
lomatic usages, was nominated by the Presi-
dent as Minister to England in place OF
Gen. Schenck. The nomination was an
unexceptional one and was probably made
by Grant to stay the storm of indignation
which swept over the land on the exposure OF
Schencks Emma Mine transactions. But
Mr.. Dana had the audacity to run against
Benjamin +. Butler for Congress and the
Essex statesman has appeared before the
Foreign Relations Committee and strenuous
ly opposed the confirmation of Mr.. Dana
charging that Mr., Dana, in editing his
admirable edition of Wheaton's Elements
of International Law, used certain notes
made by previous editor, Mr.. William
Beach Lawrence. The matter is before q
Master in. Chancery for adjudication and
certainly has nothing to do with Mr.. Dana's
qualifications for foreign minister.
Aside from the fact that Ben. Buffers OPP
position to any one ought to be reasonable
ground for such PERSONS instant con6rma-
ton, the Senate Committee actually seeks to
forestall the decision OF the Master in Chan
Gerry and on &c parte testimony-and the
testimony of Butler at that-and refuses to
confirm the nomination.
A glance at the names of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee, however, explains the
matter. Cameron, the virtuous, incorrupti-
BILE, Bible-quoting veteran is Chairman; then
follows Morton, the waver of the bloody
shirt and friend of Pinchbeck Hamlin, the
fossiliferous relic from Maine Timothy
Howe and Frelinghuysen whose obedience
to party dictation is proverbial and
the conceited Conkling from New York
Could such high-toned, sensitive-souled
men as these vote for a person who
had stolen footnote to law book? Per-
ish the thought! They could support
Pinchbeck, vote for Billings, make Williams
Judge and Cramer foreign minister but
they could never, never. never, lower the
dignity of the country by confirming a
scholar and a gentleman to post for
which he was amply fitted. Noble men =
including Butler-their grateful country
should erect monument to them and there
are many, very many in this happy land
who would gladly subscribe if this token of
nations gratitude could be erected-over
their remains.

A DEAD FAILURE.

The disgusted and exasperated members
of the broken whisky ring endeavored to
crafty their malice and at the same time de-
stroy their conqueror by trumping up a
charge that Secretary Bristow passed a fraud
ulent claim for mules, amounting to $685.
900, and obtained fee therefore of $4,000.
Nobody took much stock in the story, but
the Secretary got mad and went before the
Committee on war expenditures to explode
the lie. He did it most efectually and to
the satisfaction of every member of the COM
mittee. He was not Secretary of the Treas
ury at the time the claim was passed, but
acted as an attorney in the case, argued it
in open court, and received fee of about
$4,000, which it seems is below the rates
charged by other lawyers in the same court.
This is the end of the charge and very
dirty and disreputable one it was to the par
ties who made it. There is strong proba.
bility that further investigations may bring
to light facts which may make it inconven-
lent for certain parties in Washington to re-
side there. The Secretary, when before the
committee, strongly intimated his desire to
expose the authors of the slander,
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1876-03-24

A regular out-and out organ-one of the
kind that has no sort of regard for facts and
trivial things of that nature-is certainly
to be wondered at, if not admired. There
is "a bright, chirpy way about them of mis-
representing facts and defending corruption
that calls for more than slight praise. This
is the way the Lewisburg Chronicle alludes to
the Belknap disgrace and we ask any criti-
cal reader whether there can be anything
neater-or further from the truth:
A Democratic cabinet officer of Repub-
lican administration has, very naturally,
been discovered to be a thief and has been
dragged down from place to which it was
q political crime and betrayal ever to have
exalted him. And the only witness who
could prove his guilt, either before the SEN
ate or the criminal court, has been spirited
away to foreign country by the Democrat
ic committee that discovered their nest of
Democratic thieves, and who do not intend
to permit Republican Senate, or a court
of criminal law, to harm the Democratic
gentry who alone are soiled by the late de-
yelopements. Good enough tor US.

A large organ for the Centennial Exhibi-
tion is being construsted By Messrs. Z. &. G.
G. Hook & Hasting. 1t is to be placed in
the gallery at one end of the nave of the
Main Building, and will be nearly seventy
five feet in width by over twenty-five in
depth. There will be no extraordinary
elaboration in the case, the main object be-
ing excellency in the qualities of an instru-
ment capable of developing the many mod :
iications of church and concert organs.
There will be four manuales, a thirty two
feet pedal, two large bellows with vertical
feeders, high-pressure bellows, and COM
pensatory reservoirs for tlse parts of the in
strument remote from the bellows. The
motors will act pneumatically, operating by
imitation, and upon certain stops by exhaus-
ton. Visitors can be admitted to view the
interior, where the representative of the
firm will have his Office.

Close observers of American knowledge
of and appreciation of music say that nearly
all we know Of the higher forms of musical
art in this country we have learned from
,he Germans. Enthusiasm for the cultiva-
tion of musical art is, however, much more
readily awakened on the American than
the German side of our society And this
enthusiasm is chiefly shown by the woman.
As class, our most intelligent and appreci-
ative listeners at concerts and other musical
entertainments are American ladies, they
making the best audiences for all really
good music. Mr.. The odore Thomas is quoted
as saying that art and culture in this com-
try can look for support and encouragement
only to the woman; the majority of men
are only taken along"

STOP TUIEF I


When the nations of the earth are
gathered together at the great Centennial
Exhibition, there will be found in the City
of PHILADELPHIA, host of men famous by
pen and by sword, warriors, statesmen. po-
cts scientists and artists there will be
women of wit, refinement and beauty, fair
to gaze upon and delightful to know. OF
all this there can be no doubt and every one
who goes down to the City of Broth erly
Love will expect to have the ear charmed
and the soul entranced by wit and wisdom,
beauty and style. But there will be other
visitors there, and in no small number eth
er, whose claims to public attention will be
of far different character. Dextrous, sly,
quick of eye, 1.-THE of limb and with fingers
of amazing lightness, their presence will
soon be made known and not to the graf
ification of the people. We mean the pick
pockets. What a food of the sneaking ras
Gals will pour into the city from every
point in the compass. New York, Chicago,
Boston, St..Louis all will furnish quotas to
this horde of thieves, whose ravages will be
as disastrous as those made by an army with
banners. Distress and woe will mark their
way and their path-if we may be allowed
the metaphor-will be strewn with watches
and wallets, gold and gems. No police force
ever rganized-certainly none ever organ
lied in Philadelphia-ca pro tect the people
from the depredations of these scoundrels.
In the immense crowds which will throng
in and around the exhibition buildings,
these light fingered gentry can ply their
infamous trade in what may be considered
security, the sole chance of detection lying
in the keen glance of a bystander. And
even If discovered it by no means follows
that capture is inevitable. Men whose lives
are spent in flying from the officers of the
law are as fleet of foot as deer and as cas-
lily alarmed. Beware of these larcenous
ones oh, my countrymen, and guard well
your pockets or it may chance that you
have to return home on borrowed money or,
failing that, on foot.
We do not believe in lynch law, nor are
we cruel beyond our fellows, but we would
suggest that ifa couple dozen pickpockets
could be caught good use for them would
be to hang them to the convenient lamp
posts which at not infrequent intervals line
the streets of Philadelphia.

The United States Supreme Court, In the
case involving the consttutionality of the
New York passenger laws, has declared them
unconstitutional, holding that Congress
alone has power to make laws prescribing
conditions for the landing of passengers
from abroad. This will do away with the
Board of Commissioners of Emigration, who
have charged fee of $3.50 per capita on al
emigrants landing in New York. The Com
missioners have now a bill before the New
York Legislature asking that the fee be in
creased to $3.50. 1t is said that they are
some $500, 600 in debt.

The Harrisburg Patriot makes decided
hit in commenting on such Radical journals
as are endeavoring to make party capital out
of the fact that Belknap was formerly a
Democrat. After noting that Grant, Cam
eron, Morton, and Hartranft deserted their
party for profit it says;
The fact is that men who are bribed from
their fealty to their party by the promise OF
preferment in official station are not incor.
ruptible and the Belknap business should
teach the republican party that when it pur-
ohases men who call themselves democrats
by rewarding their treason with offices, il
cannot expect to preserve its organization
from reproach.

nomination for President in the Republican

Conkling and Bristow so or 80 each. The
