CASE OF THE WISCONSIN AND IOWA
OFFICE HOLDERS.

A despatch from Washington says -
"At the Cabinet meeting to>day a good
deal OF time was given to the discussion of
whether the Federal office holders in Wis
consiu can call a State Convention without
disobeying the Presidents recent order.
This question was raised by the letter OF
Postmaster Keys, of Madison, Chairman Of
the Republican State Committee, who states
that four-tfths OF the COMMITTEES men, in
Guiding the officers, are Federal offtce-hol-
deis that there is no provision Ior their
except to the convention when
assem- bled, and that there is no authority
for calling a convention except that of u
majority OF the committee. 1t follows from
this statement that the Wisconsin Republi-
cans cannot have a convention this year
unless the Federal office-holders who make
a majority of the committee put out a call,
After wrestling with this knotty point for
an hour or SO the Cabinet decided that
issuing the call would not he considered as
an act of insubordination, but that the Of
fice-hoders would be expected to resign
their political positions at the earliest mo-
ment practicable. The Cabinet also had an
informal discussion IN regard to the action
of certain Goyernment officials who took
part in the Iowa Convention. No action
was taken, but it was considered that while
the order is to be enforced firmly and i'm
partially there is no occasion to apply it to
officers who were elected TO and TOOK their
seats in a convention before they received
the order by mail"

This circus has been on the road now six

"An execution for 81 400 was issued

Treasurer for the amount of license, seized
the ticket wagon, while another attached
the elephant.
"The stables where the horses are kept
have been visited by great number of
our citizens to inspect the merits of the
different animals that, in case they are
sold, they may be able to know what
price to bid for them. The horses are
owned by a gentleman in Chicago, who
has been telegraphed for and who
will be here in day or two to claim his

an excitement in this community, and in
many instances great deal of sympathy
is expressed for the managers of the circus

THE POOR INDIAN.

Whenever band of Indian chiefs and
braves visit the Capitol of the nation, as is
often the case, at public expense, it very
naturally calls to mind the history and
wrongs Of the abOrigines Of this continent.
Since the landing of COLUMBUS nearly three
centuries ago, the red man has had cause for
hostility toward the white intruder upon his
domain. At that period the aborigines were
the sole possessons of the soil that to-day
is known rs the United States of America.
They had been placed here by the Creator
as the sole tenants of all the land lying be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and
Cults of st. Lawrence and Mexico, and up
to the time when the white man came
across the great waters and set foos on these
shores, there was none their right to dispute.
Upon the principle that might makes
right" the white man, with his civilizing
influences of gunpowder and fre-water, has
pressed the red man inch by inch until he
has either passed to the hunting grounds
of eternity or been cooped up on limited
reservations among his prosecutors, or been
driven into the valleys and gorges of the
Rocky mountains and upon the Western
slope, where he can contemplate resting
place in the waters of the Pacific, or ckc
out a miserable existence under the guard
ianship of the Government of the United
States.
The Government has made treaties with
the Indian tribes, hut never to keep them
II, mood fntth IA has . h.; L., a.,
but never without cheating them either in
price or payment, or both. 1t has pretended
to feed and protect them in ideness through
agencies that have proved in many instances
mere engines of fraud and robbery. In this
way the Indian has been taught by sad ex-
objects in view-cither the extinction or the
expulsion OF his race from the soil where the
Creator in His wisdom had placed him, to
work out his own destiny. Under this re-
gime, long ago introduced, and most per-
sistently enforced against him, the poor In
dian has made treaties with the Govern
ment, has ceded his lands, has given up old
homes and scenes for new ones, has en-
joyed just enough of the ciyilizing infiu-
ences of the white man to enable him to
contract all the vices of civilization without
any of its redeeming virtues and benefits,
until his race is reduced to mere rem
nant, who stand to-day before the world in
the attitude of mendicants dependent upon
the Government for protection and mainte-
nance. This is the status of the Indian,
and we think he Is much better in moral
and physical condition than the white man
would be under like circumstances.
There is now in this city delegation
from some of the Western tribes, who are
seeking interviews with the Great Father
that they may ventilats their grievances
and complaints and set forth their wants
for the future. They come here, we pre-
nme, BY invitation, and hence are the
guests of the United States, to be cared for,
fed, housed, Jsfod and rode about the city In
omnibuses at tho. public expense. This ia
better and less expensive than chasing them

TIE QUESTION OF LdBoR,

We need not reassert that we are In SYM
pathy with the laborer, here or elsewhere,
for the reason that those who know us know
that we are heart and soul with the toilers
of the country. The city Of Washington Is
filed with people, male and female, who
are ready and willing to labor for fair
compensation. With all such we have n
deep interest They are entitled to en-
ployment and its fair reward. Il is the
duty of those engaged in prosecuting the
industries of the period to do all in their
power TO afford honorable relief in employ
ment to those who are ready and willing to
labor. We are not in favor Of other relief,
by the way Of aims. To ask aims rs men,
dicant is abasing-to grant IL is demoraliz-
ing.
We were pleased with the views of one of
the District Commissioners recently pro-
mulgated on this point. We coincide with
him In the avowal that II Is our duty to
furnish employment and its rewards to the
poor Of the city. Labor Ia dignifed; it's
reward is simple justice. Beggary is the
most abject condition to which the human
family can be brought, To avoid this is
the duty Of every one who has II in his
power to avert such fallen state. En-
ployment and compensation seems to be
the only door of escape Let the benefac-
tions Of those who would see this city free
from pauperism and suffering take form in
finding employment and compensation for
those who are exposed to that dcplorable
condition. In that way crime and shame
may be averted, and men, women and
children may he raised to plane above
want and mendicnncy.

ration and benefcent results V themselves
and the country in which they exist.
We acknowledge to strong sympathies
for the toiles through whose labor capital
Is utilized and made productive. They are
the bone and sinew of the nation, and are
entitled to respectful consideration. They
are the weaker party in these relations, as
the world counts strength, and hence are
entitled to sympathy and aid in their
efforts to live, rear and educate families
and take part in the race of life. They
have been the victims of evil counsels,
and have clouded the cause of labor by
resorting TO acts Of violence, when q
more peaceful and benefcent solution Of
their troubles could have been reached
under spirit Of forbeamnce. They
must learn to respect the law and
the rights of person and property, IL they
would save the cause Of labor from repre-
hension. On the other hand, capital must
cultivate q higher respect and n more lively
sense of justice for the toiler, in treating
with labor and its rewards. This point can
be reached only through an intelligent,
liberal and just popular sentiment as to the
status and rewards of labor. Nearly every
toiler is an American citizen, and Is entitled
to oil the respect that upright, industrious
and useful lives secure to their fellow-men.
Because they toll grants to no one license
to oppress and grind them to the earth.
They are entitled to just II not generous
reward for their services in aiding capital
to prosecute the enterprises Of business, and
when this is abridged wrong is done and
discomfort follows. The capitalist who,
from avarice or any other cause, is
led into such an error. makes q Sc
rious mistake and helps to accumulate diff
culties in his own path. We desire to see
this condition of affairs undergo healthy
and benefccnt reform and If We can be in
any way instrumental in bringing these
elements Of individual and national pros
perity into harmonious relations it will be
with us labor of love.
With this presentation of our views and
Purposes upon such questions as we can al
lude to now, we start out in our new enter
prise, not on aowery path, but over a
rugged road, which will require devotion,
endurance, industry and untirirg perse-
verance to overcome the difficulties that
may interpose in the way Of success. We
now look to n generous public to afford us
such encouragement and support rs our
efforts may deserve. We shall certainly
merit that much, and we ask no more
