There is one thing upon which the peo-
ple-ou,side OF the political wire pullers
are unit, and that is Reform. Re-
form in our methods of administration,
rctrenchment Of public expenditure, re-
duction Of taxation, publication OF the
civil service and elevation OF the standard
ofoticisl life. They not only want thieves
sent to Jail, but they want public thlevins
10 be made difficult. They not only
want that the guilty shall be punished
but they want fewer guilty IN high
places to punish. They want
au end put to the system
that produces BABcocKs, Boss
SHEPHEKDs, DENTS, LEETs, STOCKINGS,
MCRpHkYs, BELKNAPs, and all the
knsvlsh crew with which the White
ii use swarms Hsw.
They want President who will sur
roun himself with statesmen and with
gcutIemen not with jockeys and sharp
ers. They want al honest man iof
P.c,idrnt, who will call none but hones'
nen about hm. They want a statesman
or President, who will call statesmen oil
ability, integrity and national distinction
10 his assistance. They want the Presi-
dents political household to cease to be
Of the low grade of convict colony
They want it brought back to the days %
our fathers, when statesmen and men o
honor were alone deemed worthy OF al
mittsnce.
II the Cincinnati Convention shall
give the people candidate whose past
life Is guarantee for the future, it will
be difficult Tor the Democracy TO name

trsry, Cincinnati shall give US BLAINE,
MokroN, CoNKLISG, or any of the
psrty-hacks whose hands are deiled or
skirts besmirched by too close contact
with the Administration, the people will
turn longing eyes toward st. Louis.
In that event who will st. Louis name?
II must be q man who is known re.

thought reformer might be made A
man whom the people kno'o as statesman >
y rnsn Of elevated character and exalted
shlllty, n man who will clear up the

by great effort that even the
Democratic party can restore this

by q great effort that even tne
Democratic party can restore this
noble Office to its proper place 1t can
be done if we nominate TIlDKN or
some man of equally high character,
some man whose name alone will be
taken by the country as a guarantee that
the Democratic party Is sincere in Its
professions of reform, some man whose
name would stand out we'll in the broad
sunshine of the Centennial year. We
want no demae ogues this time. Give US
a statesman, of the JEFFERsoNIAN type,
for example.
The JEFFERsoNIAN test has gone into
retirement of late. Indeed, with the
GRANT test in full working order, it was
crowded entirely out OF existence. SIS
he honest? Is he capable? Is he faithful
to the Constitution" These queries sound
like voices from the tomb. "Is he rich?
Has he made me presents2 Does he be-
lieve in q third term?' These have
beer the heads OF the GRANT test that is
shortly TO pass away. The Demo-
cratic party will see to it that some
statesman is elected President, who is
not only honest and capable himself,
and learned IN the Constitution, but who
will have men in his council who are
also honest and capable and will be
faithful to the Constitution. Just here
it may be we'll enough to suggest that
President who knows something
about the Constitution would be
good thing to have. The
recent message of General GRANT veto
ing the bill reducing the Presidents SAL
ary showed that he could hardly have
read, much less remembered, the Consti
tuition of the United States. He refer
red number of times to the rates fixec
ain the Constitution" for the salaries OF
the President and members of Congress
evidently in ignorance of the fact that
the salaries were fixed by law and not by
the Constitution!

Disposing or Red Cloud.

Had the American government entered
earlier upon the policy of disarmament
which General Crook put in practice in the
case of Red Clouds band, the country would
have been saved the expenditure OF much
blood and treasure. This policy has been
time and again urged on the authorities at
Washington by the military officers having
known reason was until lately received with
coldness and Indifference. Yet wherever
it has been tried it has succeeded admirably.
1t is only few years since the wild Apaches
and Arapahoe tribes were the terror of the
Southern frontier, but since their disarma-
ment by General Miles they have been rs
peaceful as lambs, and are even said to be
making steady progress toward civilization.
With this example to guide US, as we'll as
the dictates Of common sense, there ought
to be no pause in the good work. When
ever Indians are under the protection of the
United States they should be compelled to sur
render absolutely their arms until tomahawks
become as scarce among the Indian tribes as
spades and shovels are to-day. We do not
at all approve of the proposition made by
Spotted Tail of sending a portion OF his
young men with Crook. The army ought to
be able to do its own scouting, and the last
summers campaign showed clearly that very
little reliance could be placed on Indian
scouts. Let Spotted Tails young men give
up their arms and put on the garb Of peace
or be treated like their brothers. The rule
of disarmament should be strictly carried
out. as otherwise abuses will probably creep
in, and after few years we shall find the
whole Sioux nation armed to the teeth again,
and we shall have the same trouble to disarm
them. The army ought to be able to do its
own work, and we hope General Crook will
try to teach the Indians that the white man
can make war on Indians without the aid of
Indian allies The moral effect could not
fail to be good

The REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION
This body met last evening, but transacted
no business beyond organizing, appointing
Committee on Nominations and adjourning
until next Monday. The postponement in
dicates that the several parties opposed to
the regular democratic nominations have
not yet been able to reach a satisfactory IN
derstanding or agree on ticket which they
will all consent to support. The republic
cans do not despair of gaining the co-opera-
ton Of other organizations, or they would
have made their nominations yesterday.
The intervening time will be spent in busy
negotiations. The only noteworthy feature
OF the Convention was the reading of letter
from the venerable Thurlow Weed, resign
ing his place as a delegate on account Of
physical feebleness and admonishing the
Convention to do its work wisely. Mr.. Weed
comedies that the result Of the national con-
test may depend OH the vote Of this city,
which, though not a new opinion, will be
strengthened by his Endorsement.

Tn. Herald at Three Cents.

In spite Of the misguided opposition Of
portion land justice requires us to say
small though noisy portion) of the news
received great impetus by the reduction Of
price. The gain has already been eleven
thousand, and seems likely to exceed twenty
thousand before the close Of the week.
Some Of the newsdealers are recalcitrant,
but majority Of them accept the situation.
They will recover great part Of their loss
by increased sales. There is no news stand
but will find the sale of the HERALD the most
profitable part of its business, as it has
always been heretofore. reporter gives
lively account Of the visits he made yester-
day to numerous shops on several avenues
at which newspapers are sold and
Of the colloquies he had with the per-
sons in charge. The greater part of
them are selling the HERALD at the new
price, but some are not yet reconciled. Some
are asking four cents Of transient purchas-
ers, and one establishment charges three
and half cents to its regular customers
The public will, Of course, insist on having
the paper at the reduced price, and within o
few days all the dealers will consent to fur
nish it at that price, or rivals will take
away their business. Arrangements have
been made with the out of town railroads
by which passengers get the paper at one
cent reduction from the former price. In
the city cars and the streets the greater part
of the newsboys ask'only three cents Mr.
Brentano, the best known and most popular
dealer in papers and periodicals in the city,
charges only three cents, and arrangements
are nearly completed for giving readers in
the neighboring cities and towns the full
benefit OF the reduction. The experiment
is already great success and threatened
opposition futile.

The Crisis in EurOpe.

Turkeys acceptance of Russas PROPOSE
ton with regard to the armistice is reported
and denied with equal energy but tho de-
NAL is from a source not entitled to great
credit. 1t is probable that the Sultan has
accepted in form satisfactory to Russia.
This seems likely to disappoint and chagrin
many who had counted upon the war; The
Russian army, it is said, is SO excited that it
will cause trouble If not called upon to
march into the Ottoman Empire. This is
another manifestation Of the old Russian
spirit. In the army the hereditary policy Of
the nation has the support OF many officers of
the higher grades scions of old families, which
never liked negotiation with the Moslems.
Should peace be obtained by negotiation
these men will consider that the Emperor's
dilatory policy has deprived them of a great
opportunity, and they may go to any length
in making their resentment felt. Hungary
will become tranquil more readily than the
Russian army will quiet down for in the
event of war the Hungarians could possi-
bly, put Austria in the lists as defender of
Turkey. This. il is we'll understood in
Vienna, would constitute the occasion for
the development of the North German Power
in support Of Russian policy. Austria can
endure some Hungarian bluster better than
the appearance of Prussian troops on the
frontier
