THE PRESIDENTS OVATION.

THE PRESIDENTS OVATION.
President Hayes and several mem
beers of tho Cabinet attended the Gen.
tennial celebration of the battle of
Remington, since which time they
have travelled through some portions
of the New England States and have
received a continuous ovation. En-
thusiasm has seemed to increase
daily, and invitations have urged
them to extend the journey to other
points, even to the capital Of Maine,
but the President resolved from the
first to return to Washington to-day
and therefore declined to prolong his
absence from executive duties. OF
course there has been much speech
making, but mostly in the nature of
pleasant response to the generous
welcome Of the crowds that every
where greeted the party, and without
reference to questions of policy or
politics. The President has given
expression, however, to sentiments
which ell good citizens must endorse,
whatever their political bias-senti-
ments that evince his patriotism and
singleness of purpose. The following
extract is taken from his speech at
Concord, New Hampshire, on Wed
nesday:
"What you want in this country is
m executive that shall execute that
which he believes to be his duty, and
all that l want of my countrymen is
that charitable judgment that is
proper to be given by men among
men, looking each other in the face,
and who believe that upon the whole
the man they are looking in the face
whether he is right or wrong, after
all means to be right. [Cries OF
s3ocd,' and applause. ]"
One of the most important incl
dents of the day at Concord was the
speech Of Vice. President Wheeler,
who had joined the party. The dis
coutented Republicans have claimed
that the Vice-President was with
them in their opposition to the South
ern policy of the President, but his
remarks on this occasion plainly in
dictate that he is IN entire accord
with Hayes. Referring to the Presl-
dent, Mr.. Wheeler said'
"Hs has already demonstrated, to
the satisfaction Of the people Of the
States, his high capacity as the Off
cial head of the nation [applause]
with frmness and patriotism, and
faithfully meeting every duty de,
volving upon him, and With the
simple ambition to make Americas
name throughout the world the
representative Of freedom, honesty.
peace and unity"
This trip has done much for the
Republican party in the way of
convincing the malcontents that
their opposition to the President
will prove futile, as it will lack sup
port by the people. Mr.. Blaine will
risk his own popularity by attack
ing the President in the next Con-
gress, nor will Ben. Butler, nor
will any other Republican, 10 our
opinion.

THE INDIAN WAR.

General Howard is incompetent to
conduct the Indian campaign to a
successful issue, and events have am
ply proven the correctness of our
judgment. Perhaps he does not lack
personal bravery, but he was totally
inexperienced in that kind of war
fare, and he has not shown the ener-
gy and dash so requisite in the pur-
suit Of willy, fleeing foe. His first
movement showed his unfitness for
the place. With considerable reg
ula- and volunteer force he crossed
Salmon river and when near the hos
tiles he erected fortified camp and
awaited an attack by the Indians, in
stead of attacking them, as every
known rule of Indian warfare re-
quired. After waiting several days
be next heard Of Joseph on the Clear
water, seventy-five miles away, en-
gagged in the pleasant pastime Of at
lacking provision trains and killing
Cinnamon. Finally Howard came
upon the Indians in chosen position
and defeated them. A few days later
Joseph sent messenger to talk with
Ho ward about surrendering and in
the meantime he stole away and
started Oh the Lolo trail for Montana.
Instead of pursuing the Indians at
once, by the trail or by the northern
route to Montana, Howard halted ut
Lapwai for week or ten days,
awaiting the arrival OF detachment
Of Warm Springs Indians, for whom
he sent messenger to the Dalles, $50
miles distant. He finally reached
Big Hole the day after General 1Ib-
bon's gallant fight, where it appears
he again made halt of several days.
Meanwhile Joseph's band crossed
over southwark to Lemhi, killing
some settlers by the way, and turned
eastward to the stage road from Co.
rinne to Montana and took possession
of stage station, where they cut the
telegraph, stopped all travel, and
stsid several days, feeding the hay
and grain to his jaded horses and de-
stroying such property as they could
not appropriate to their own use. Al
last Howard came near enough for
the Indians 20 steal 200 Of his horses
and mules, and then they continued
their flight to the eastward. At last
accounts Howard was in hot pursuit,
but it is probable that he will Care
fully keep far enough away from the
Indians to prevent them reducing his
cavalry troops to infantry.
II General Crook had been sent
out to Idxh, and given chief COM
mand at the beginning of the war,
Joseph would most likely have been
forced to surrender six weeks agU
and many lives would have been
saved, besides the expenses incurred
by the protraction of hostilities. AS
affairs now stand, the end cannot be
even conjectured. Perhaps Joseph
will continue his flight into Canada,
and next year a commission be APP
pointed to treat with and bring him
back, as in the caee of Sitting Bull.

Iowa %Senatorship.

1t seems that Senator Allison of
Iowa, is not to be permitted to ride
owe the course of reelection without
opposition.
Information received here indicates
pretty certainly that ex-senator Harlan
is preparing quietly but theoretically
to enter the contest with Allison for
the Senatorial prize, and will bring all
his experience in the manipulation of
political wires, skill and subtleties in
the field of politics, to bear in the
struggle. 1t is evident, also, that Sec
rotary of War McCrary has aspirations
in the direction Of the S~enatorship. and
would not be ~displeased with a trans
fer from the war portfolio to a seat in
the upper house of congress. McCrary
is a wary, keen, shrewd politician, and
it is by no means improbable that
while Allison and Harlan are graphing
for the Senatorial bone, McCrary will
grab it and carry it off in triumph.

Gen. Spinner and the Finances.

General Spinner, the venerable ex-
United States Treasurer, is spending a
few days in Washington, where he so
long, ably and faithfully served the
Government. He thus expresses him
self on the financial question: The
financial question is in reality not
so difficult of solution as many
suppose. l was brought up n bullion
Democrat, and am quite willing there
should be a metallic currency for those
who wish such, but now 1 think a
paper currency is the best. 1t is not
original with me, but William ID. Kel-
ley has the true idea. A metallic cur
rency is wanting in elasticity. AT
times an expansion Of the circulating
medium is necessary for the purchase
of crops, their transportation, etc.
What the country needs is an issue of
legal-tender notes, convertible at any
time into an interest-bearing stock of
the United States-a stock for which
the holder could get currency with ac-
crued interest, whenever he should so
desire. At n rate Of interest no higher
than 3.G5 per cent, the desired amount
of circulation would be absorbed when
not used for commercial purposes, and
low enough to force the return of bonds
when the business of the country re-
quires a large amount of currency.
Such a currency would 500 be on a par
with gold, and ii would be the parent
of a new prosperity and of a new era of
patriotism.
The present system and the plan for
resumption will have no other effect
than to still farther Cypress the people
and cripple the energies of the Govern
ment. The power to issue notes should
be taken away from the banks and
vested exclusively in the Government.
Without n change in the financial
policy the worst is yet to be appre-
hended. The people will not stand too
much oppression and manifest wrong.
Great danger is to be apprehended
from a collapse of the savings banks of
the country, which, rs constituted and
conducted, are for the most part,
nothing but schemes to rob the poor of
their hard-earned money. The inter
convertible bond system would give the
poor grand opportunities to provide for
a little interest money when they could,
and for ready cash when they wanted
It. The savings banks are rotten in
situations which all poor people would
do well to shun.
Talk Of retrenchment! Retrench-
ment! 1t is no time for r~etrenchment,
when retrenchment mean the taking
away of labor from the working people.
The Government has infinite ways for
employing labor; it needs it and ought
to have the money to accomplish legiti-
mate purposes"
These opinions of n of such vast
financial experience, clear head, cool
judgment, are certainly entitled to at
tention and consideration.
