p1CTEJC1TION.

At first some of the more radical mem.
bers of the Republican party seemed TO be
startled at the word "pacification" and
looked upon such q movement as being
full of grave dangers to the interests Of
their party. They did no, seem to
realize the fact that pscifcation means
equal justice, the recognition OF all the
Constitutional amendments, peace, good
order, equality and liberty everywhere,
both North and South. But they are
rapidly coming to sense of the true
meaning of that word aud will soon all be
found heartily indorsing any policy which
will secure its true meaning
Pacifcaion not only means peace,
equality and liberty. but 1t means re,
newed prosperity. With pscificAtion es.
tablished the South will rise like phpniI
from the ashes of her desolation and put
on the garments Of a new commercial life.
The North will also awake from the
leihargy Of business enterprise, and oncs
more confidence will be restored in the
stability OF our institutions, in the integ
ri,y of the public credit, in the sovereignty
of she States and in the rights Of TIT
citizens,

Journal says If the invention turns out to
be all that the dscoverer claims for it the
Southern question will become but child's
play. Just as soon as this piece of Keokuk
knowledge becomes generally diffused Tin
bot,les-see that the name OF the patentee
is blown into the glass; the color line is
bound TO vanish, and after that there will
be no trouble at all about Southern policy.

ROTATION IN OFFICE.

That President HAYES meant what he
said in his famous letter of acceptance. and
what he reaffirmed in hisinaugural address.
there can be no question, and that he in
tends to make his promises as good as gold
every one believes. A few days since some
Western politicians waited upon him and
requested the removal Of an Office. holder
who, they claimed, had served his country
eight years and ought to now make room
for some one else. President HAYES. in
answer TO this claim, said that he would
not remove the office holder except for suf-
ficient cause, and the simple fact that he
had served his country faithfully for eight
years was certainly no cause for removal.
The office holder was retained. and one Of
the Presidents best promises fulfilled. II
does look as though the business of the
professional politician was fast dying out

THE DISTRICT GorERyNEyr.

When VIC speak of local self-government
for the District Of Columbia il Is not be-
cause we feel lily served under the rule Of
the present Commissioners. On the con
trary, the people Of the District have great
cause to congratulate themselves upon hav-
ing men as their rulers whose integrity Is
undoubted and whose zeal in behalf Of our
local interests has been worthy of the high
est praise. In Gov. DENIsoS the people
have found strong friend and the District
benefactor. He has left 10 stone un-
turned by which he could advance the ma
terial interests of the place or secure the
welfare of the entire people. As much
can be said Of Commissioner PHELrs and
ex Commissioner KETcauN. both of whom
have performed excellent services for the
people and National Government in their
respective stations. But when We speak Of
local selfgovernment We do it because we
believe that people burdened with the
heavy taxation which our citizens now ca
dure should have potent voice in the ad-
ministratlon of the local government
This we believe is an ins!icnable right,
and, it also being in accord with the tend
epcy OF the new Administration, the pros
poets Of securing 1t are growing brighter

their property but of their peace.
These great wrongs are now being com
pretended by the American people. and
they are restlessly waiting for the Govern
ment to take some positive action which
will undo the great evils which we as .
nation have perpetrated upon this patriot
people by remaining in passive silence
when their voice was pleading to US for
help.
1t is with great rejoicing, therefore, that
the American people welcome the incom-

PRESIDENT HAYES AND MACHINE
POLITICIANS.

President HAYES has proven himself
equal TO the emergency Of promulg ating a
policy which. though ii does not tickle the
fancy of the machine politicians, still com
mands their respect. A policy which ID
repected is. after all. the only true and sue.
cessful policy. When the President first
launched boldly out upon his new course
there were some who were ready to toss
the glove into the ring and engage in .
factious opposition to his Administration
But they soon saw the irrepressible tide Of
popular approval Of the Presidents course
which driited quickly over the country.
and, in seeing, were shrewd enough to
withdraw from their hostile attitude before
the old story about the bull and the iron.
horse was repeated, in which they would
have played the part of the bull. The

this subject which is fraught with good

SATISFACTORY SOLUTION OF A PER

To discriminate between the dual gov
ernments Of Louisiana and South Caro-.
lima is the first and most important duty
which the new President is called upon to
perform, and whichever way his decision
is rendered contention and disappointment
must necessarily ensue. In view OF all the
facts involved would 1t not be the best and
wisest plan that the contending factions in
the two States agree to settlement OF
their differences by an appeal to the arbi-
trament Of the ballot. box, due care being
taken to secure fair election and an i'm
partial count Of the votes cast! Republi-
cans, who claim majority in both States,
cannot object to this method of compro-
missing mstters, and the Democrats by re.
fusing to accept the proposition would
show decided weakness. Certainly the re.
suits would be satisfactory, and the Presi.
dent and his administration would thereby
be relieved from certain and perplexing
embarrassment. Let the party leaders on
both sides consider this suggestion at once
