CoNKLING's vIcToRY.-The triumph of Conk-
ling is indeed great. His mastery over the New
York Republicans and the Senate is now firmly
established. Even Blaine to day fought and
spoke under his leadership. The result is that
ConkliDg starts i'm for his race next Fall for re-
election with marked advantage. Democrats in
the Senate unwittiDgly have helped him to de-
feat both the President and the Democracy of
New York, and to pay his expenses in the cam
paign out of the public Treasury. The result
will be an immense strengthening to the ultra
and irreconcilable wing of Radicals, who de-
mand q perpetual bayonet rule for the South,
and a falling away Of the more liberal element

Lord. give me strength the lot to bear,
Thy love hath meted out to ms;
And though mo- heart our sorrows share,
We still can tell our griefs to Thee
For Thou hast trod iife's weary path,
And more than mortal ansuiEh borne.
When friends forsoos, and foes in wrath,
Had crowned Thy sacred heal with thorns.
We, too, must follow where He trod
five would to His joys aspire;
Nor trembe at the Christening rod.
Or shrink from the refining fire.
Where souls set free from earthly drJss
Their selflove and their pride laid down,
Their dearest gain shall count but loss,
And shine fit jewels for His crown.

E Capt. F. NJ. Posegate, Of the st. Joseph
Steam Printing Company, has been appointed
Postmaster of that city, in place of james Beach
Capt. Posegate is an old resident of st. Joseph,
and genuine Republican. He was Repnbli-
can before the war, and after fighting through
the rebellion, returned to st. Joseph. He is
from Ohio, and slightly resembles Hayes. But
what has Beach done, to cause his dismissal'
And what have Kansas Senators to do with the
Missouri officesf Where the Republicans need
harmony most, they have the least of it.

r During President Johnson's administra-
tion, Republican Congress passed law called
the Tenure of Office Act, for the purpose of pre-
venting him from throwing the offices of the
Government into the hands of its enemies. 1t
had the desired effect, and johnson was almost
powerless for mischief. When Grant was elec-
ted, portions of the law were repealed, but
some of its wholesome provisions were retained.
1t is now found that their retention was wise
This law is now the only barrier that prevents
Hayes from sending the Republican party to the
devil as fast as johnson would have done.

II A tremendous silver meeting was held In
Chicago, the other day, in which the leading
business men of the city participated. The East
is beginning to hear thunder. Any Western
Senator or Congressman who refuses to support
the silver bill, may as well make up his mind to
walk the plank, at the expiration of his term.

r The great es-Democratic- -Greenback
organ of Doniphan County doesn't seem to un-
derstand the very first principle of its party, as
proclaimed by its founder, Thomas Jefferson,
and carried out by it's apostle, Andrew Jackson,
to wit: "To the vctors belong the spoils." The
Republicans have adopted that root of the Dem
ocratic tree, and propose to carry it ont. The
Democratic organ must not grunt when the prin-
ciples of its party are enforced by others.

~ There is said to be vigorous movement
on foot to remove U. S. Marshal Miller, of Kan
sas, and that Hon. Sidney Clarke is the leading
applicant for the office. We do not know what
the reasons are for demanding the removal of
Miller, as we have always understood that he
was very efficient officer. But if he is doomed
to 60, there is no better man for the place than
Sidney Clarke. Since the fight which ended
in Clarke's retirement from public Office, the
people have come to see that, instead of improv-
ing matters, they made them worse. Clarke has
remained true to the party, while many of his
most unrelenting opponents have "hopped" over
to the Democracy.

U- Another illustration of Democratic honor
has transpired in Congress. The regular cleo
tion in Colorado. last year, was held in October,
at which Belford, Republican, was elected over
Patterson, Democrat, both parties making full
canvass But in November, Patterson had a few
dozen of his friends vote for him, and appeared
in Congress, contesting Belford's seat, on the
technical ground that the proper time for the
election was in November. And on this flimsy
pretext, Democratic House, by strict party
vote, turned out the Representative of the peo-
pie of Colorado, and admitted the impostor.
This, too, after the Republicans had aided to
seat Hamburg Butler in the Senate. The time
is at hand when itswill be necessary for Repub-
licans to have back bone.

been done simultaneously by concerted
action by the railway strikers In at least
twelve States. The fact is beyond dis
pute.
Can It be possible that such wide.
spread violation of law and of right, and

villains and malefactors of the country,

the masses of the membership of the

obedience to lawless leaders2 They are
forced to look at the fearful result now,
and some of them will be fortunate in
deed if they do not severely suffer from
their error. To most of them the reme-
dy is in their hands, and that is to quit
so lawless an organization. In this
country no man can bind himself, With
out criminality. to an allegiance above
the law. Loyalty to the law is the par.
amount obligation. No Society, Union,
Church, Order, or organization of any
kind can lawfully held its membership
to any obligation that requires violation
of the law and of the COMMON rights of
society and yet the lawtessness of the
past two weeks shows that the leaders
of the Train Mems Union have tried to
hold, and, in mary instances, have held
the members of that Union to Just such
lawless and criminal obligations. They
had better look to this without delay.

Chicago Times Indicates that the mill
flaman OF the Illinois variety is not
greatly admired in his own locality -

gun and s6me cartridges, who goes
about hunting for rioter to whom they
fhay lie handed. The object in life of

and lacks gall, but he dances divinely.

age. He is pretty man in the piping
times of peace, but when the blast of
war blows in his ears it isn't safe to
trust him with a gun. In short, mi.
litiaman isn't a soldier" The recent
strike has demonstrated the fact that
the militiaman Of Pennsylvania is of
about equal calibre with his brother of
Illinois.

The Strike and Its Results.

from the beginning, whether the vio-
lence of the mob ran out its mad course
in few hours, days or weeks. 1t must
always be the result in civilized coun-
tries. And now, after two weeks of

Says the Philadelphia ledger The
