Our genial friend Shannon Of the e.
kader Journal, two or three weeks since
gave us raking over the Goals for say
ing that the Republican canvass in
Clayton county last fall was conducted
on the square issue of endorsement of
the policy. He combats the statement
with his usual yigor, and rather init
mates that our purpose in making it was
the reverse of honest. He puts it
mildly or, rather, says he does, but the
import Of his language is, that our state
ment is false, and that we must have
known it. We can receive all this from
our friend Shannon with perfect equan-
unity, because we know his proclivity
for boiling over, and that his efferyes-
eenee is utterly devoid of venom. But
to our defense. We had no original
knowledge of how the canvass in Clay
ton county was conducted. We saw
first in the Sioux City Joay,,csl, an edi-
toriai article, in which the statement
was made that Dir. 'Updegraf, who ran
for the Legislature in Clayton, was NOM
mated as Policy Republican, that he
made the canvass on that issue, and that
his election was entitled to be regarded
as significant endorsement of the
President by the Republicans of Clay
ton county. We observed that our
friend Shannon took no notice of this
article. One or two weeks later, that
same statement was particularly empha-
sized in an editorial in the Davenport
Gazette. Still there was no response
from our friend OF the Journal; and af-
ter waiting yet two weeks and seeing no
denial by, or on the authority Of any
Republican in Clayton county, we con,
cluded that it was true, and in orr arti-
Gle treated it as fact. We insist, there
fore, if we erred, that our impulsive
friend Of the Journal shall take his
share Of the responsibility.
In explanation of this late answer to
the article in the Journal, we will say
that it is not due to any disrespect for
the opinions of our friend Shannon, but |
to the fact that our copy of the journal
Of tie date in which it appeared got
mislaid, and only turned UP = day or
since.

Hon. HIRAM PRICE, of this State,
true to his temperance proclivities, in
troduced a resolution in the House, on
Tuesday, which was adopted, instructing
the officers of the House to enforce the
18th joint rule, prohibiting the sale of
Intoxicating liquors within the Capitol
building. The Democratic party in Con.
gress is thus on the record in favor of
the prohibitory law within reasonable
limits. Now it is in order for the Du-
buuue Herald to howl.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

Upon this subject the President reit-'
crates the principles laid down in his in
augural address. He defines clearly his
idea of the separate prerogatives of the
President and the Senate, but there is
nothing in the message indicating dis
position to quarrel with the Senate, or
trench upon its privileges. No allusion
is made to the late differences regarding
appointments He declares his desire and
purpose to be to return to the system
of the constitution, and to do this with
the hearty cooperation of Congress.
He calls attention to what has been done
by the Civil Service Commission, and
asks suitable appropriation for its
maintenance,

Our relations with foreign countries
are briefly reviewed This portion of
the message indicates that the admin
istration will pursue vigorous foreign
policy, which, while not seeking Difficult
ties with other nations, will not hesitate
to take any measures to protect the
lives and property of American citizens.
This is apparent from that portion ex-
planning the famous order Of Gen. Ord
for the invasion of Mexican territory in
pursuit of thieying outlaws.

THE INDIAN QUESTION


The President strongly approves of
the suggestions of Secretary Schurz, of
the Interior department, regarding the
care and government of the Indian
tribes. The policy indicated is, in brief,
not to promise the Indians more than we
are able and willing to perform, and then
to implicitly perform all that is promis-
ed; to discourage hunting among the In
dams, and to encourage agricultural pur-
suits among them by gathering them
upon small reservations, where small
tracts of land may be allotted to heads
of families and tools and implements
be furnished them; to protect the Indi-
ans by the laws, enforced by proper tri-
bunais, and the organization of police
composed Of Indians and subject to Or
ders from Government officers, the es-
tablishment of schools, and the compul-
sorry attendance of Indian children,
where they shall be taught to speak and
read the English language, and as much
as possible to dispense with the pres
ence and labor of white men on the res
ervations.
The message treats briefly on the Ag-
ricultural department, the District of
Columbia, the Washington Monument

other matters of minor note,

The AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY is an
eplUoihe OF newspaper history. 1t is also re-
garded as an official register of cIrculations.
This feature requires the closest scrutiny to
prevent it from leading to abuses. The plan
adopted by the publishers Of the DIRECTORY to
secure correct and trustworthy reports is rigid
in its requirements, and is adhered TO with
impartiality. Successful publishers, who have
something. to gain by comparison, are eener-
ally prompt, not only to send reports in con-
formity, but give Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co
such iniorWation as enables them to weed out
unsubstantiated statements of pretenders in
Journalism. The popularity Of the book, and
the general confidence in its accuracy and good
faith, are attested by the immense body of ad-
vertisements it receives. 4@

A London correspondent of the
New York Times writes the follow
ing anecdete of Sir Daniel Macree,
the veteran president Of the ROYAL
Scottish Academy:
after dinner, in a snug corner,
we were talking of the Scottish
Sabbath. 'The secretary Of the
academy remarked Sir Daniel,
said rather a good thing 10 me. 1
did not get his notice of vanishing
day until Saturday, and, as l had
to be here by Monday, l had to
break the Sabbath. / was Just
calling him over TIE Goals for it,
when he answered me: You need
not have broken the Sabbath; if
you had started on Saturday night
you'd have been travelling in Eng
land on Sunday" The point is a
subtle, but it is good satire,
and l leave it where it is. Il met a
Highlander, said Sir Daniel, who
had settled the question of Sab
ath-breaking at a very fine point.
| was fishing on a Scotch loch with
a party. Among our provisions was
a ham. On Sunday l asked the
nn-keeper to cut it in two-one-
half for boiling to carry with us;
other for grllling to eat indoors.

ne bethought himself that a knife
would not cut through the bone.
Have you not got a saw?' "Aye,"
