THE NOMINEE FOR DooRKEEPER

The nomination of General Field by the
democratic caucus last Friday evening for
doorkeeper of the house of representatives,
was a political mistake. We know nothing
about General Field farther than that he was
a confederate officer, and when the war
ended took service under the khedive oil
Egypt, intending at the time no doubt to
expatriate himself and become a subject of a
foreign prince. We do not think that
his services IN the southern army
nor his services in the Egyptian
army qualified him particularly for
he Office of doorkeeper of the American
house of representatives, yet it may be that
we are too far from Washington to clearly
see their effects upon American nationality
and good government. We are in favor OF
letting by-gones be by-gOnes, and are not in
favor of bestowing offices upon those who
have done nothing to commend them to the
public confidence save their ability to deity
WELD the sword on the wrong side in the
late unpleasantness. And particularly do we
deprecate the nomination of General Field
because his principal competitor was the
gallant General Shields, OF Missouri. This
eminent soldier and statesman has been dear
to the American democracy for over quar-
ter of century. A foreign bullet at Cerro
Gordo and confederate bullet in the valley
of Virginia came near ending his earthly
career, ard it is poor recompense for the
blood thus shed that he should be beaten for
a federal Office by one who may have COM
manded the bullet to be fired which we'll
nigh took his life at Winchester. We have
no patience with the mock sympathy which
Ben Butler expressed for General Shields in
the house of representatives last Friday.
General Butler and his republican associates
kept General Shields out of his seat in con-
gress to which he had been elected by ire
mendous majority, so they are estopped from
now repinlng over his poverty in old age.
Had they allowed him to sit where the peo-
pie had sent him, the gallant old man would
have been many thousand dollars the richer.
Therefore they should hold their peace when
the late injustice done him is discussed.
We do not know how the democratic
members from Indiana voted in the caucus
which nominated the exEgyptian officer,
but we hope they voted for General Shields.
We are satisfied that the democracy of the
state, could it have selected a doOrkeeper,
would have chosen the old solcier, and we
hope that its representatives in congress
voted in the caucus for his nomination.
Surely he deserved this at their hands, for
his services to the democracy of the state in
the great campaign of 1876 must have been
well known to them.

The New Blue BOOk-A Vast Array of
OHice-4EOJaers.

The new Blue Book, Just published,
cumberous and utterly useless but very cost
~ publication, which contains the name of
every person employed in the federal ser
vice, gives 50, $50 as the total
number of federal oficeholders
of all kinds and degrees. This IS
about one in 400 of the total population, or
one for every 80 votes. The vast number of
Office seekers ceases to excite surprise when
these figures are known, for if there were
but five applicants for every place this
would make one in every Is of the
voting population federal place
hunter. But when the state and
local officers are added to the federal
the number of persons who ere paid for
attending TO the business of ruling the
remainder becomes frightful TO contemplate.
Counting school officers, constables and
justices of the peace with the more
important placemen it is probable
that the state and local officeholders are at
least as numerous as those in federal en-
ployment, and at that rate one man in
40 voters would be drawing his support from
the public purse. or in other words, every
collection of 40 voters throughout the
country is obliged TO support one man by
their labor in order to maintain such govern
ment as we have. But if we allow five place
hunters for every state and local place, as
well as for the federal offices, the result
would show that every ninth voter in the
entire republic is an office seeker.

Hayes i'm the white House.
washington Letter to chicago Times.

washington Letter 10 chicago Times
The president sits in an upper back room
at the white house during business hours
from 10 a. m. to p. m. He seems during
ordinary calls to be concerned about par
ticular spot in the yellow and green Brussels
carpet. He appears to be impatiently waiting
until you leave, in order TO get down on his
hands and knees and ''see what is the mat
ter with that floor, anyhow" When he is
not being interviewed in his Office on bust
ness or curiosity he is standing by Mrs Hayes
in the reception room. silent, and quite
overshadowed by his sprightly spouse. He
has during his year OF official life never
pulled cigar in lady's face nor ever driven
a four-in-hand down the avenue, nor kissed
any female save his lawful partner, nor
lounge6. half tight, with General Sherman
or any other man in a private box at the
theater. He does not realize the advantages
of his position, nor avail himself of the
privileges of great man. When al college
he was a sober, good young man; he was never
known to have sown a single wild oat; he
is especially fitted 10 jog along slowly in

for the war and the losses en-
tailed upon Russia, which the emperor of
Russia claims aud which the sublime porte
has undertaken to reimburse, consist of: l.
Nine hundred millions OF roubles for the
expense of the war. .. Four hundred mil
lions OF roubles for damage caused TO the
southern seacosst of the country, to its COM
'merce, exports, industry and railways.
3. A hundred millions of roubles
for damage caused to the eau
'casus by invasion. 4. Ten millions
of roubles for damage with interest) caused
to Russian subjects and institutions in
Turkey; total, 1,410O00,OO0 of roubles.
Taking into consideration the financial en-
'barrassments of Turkey, and in accordance
with the desire of the sultan, the emperor
of Russia consents to exchange the payment
of the greater portion of the sums enumer-
'ated for territorial concessions. The in
'demnlty claimed by Russia amounts in our
money to twelve hundred millions OF dol
lars or two hundred millions OF dollars in
excess of that demanded by Germany or
France in 1871. The territory to be ceded
ito Russia IN the event of the non-payment
of the indemnity lies altogether in Asia
Minor, with the exception OF that part Of
'Bessarabia which was taken from Russia by
the treaty of Paris, and which she
now reclaims, and stipulates she shall
be authorized to exchange the
'Dobruscha for with Roumania. The straits
of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus are to
to be kept open for the merchant vessels Of
the neutral states in time of war as well as
peace. The evacuation of European Turkey
rs to take place within three months and Of
Armenia within six months from the defini-
tive conclusion of peace. In Bulgaria, a
Russian commlssary is to remain for two
years to introduce regulations and supervise
the organization and working of the new
government of the principality. Nothing
whatever is said of the naturalization of the
straits, and if any, agreement has been en-
tered into on thissubject it must be EN-
bodied in the secret treaty of which so much
has been said and so little known"

The Sentinel long since took the position

The Escape of Anderson aud Wells.
Philadelphia Inquirer (rep.)

The escape of General Anderson from Just
punishment for the part he played in the
manipulation OF the Louisiana election re-
turns would be of little moment but for the
effect it has upon his fellow offenders, who
are known to have been far more guilty than
he was. Even the notorious Wells will
escape, but he still falls under the scathing
condemnation of General Sheridan, who,
years ago, wrote to General Grant: II say
now unequivocally that Governor Wells is
political trickster and a dishonest man, and
he has not one friend who is an honest
man

TiIfOn on the Mind.

Storing the mind is one thing, using the
mind is another thing. The brain that is
crammed is a mind that Is damned. A
sound body is necessary to make sound
mind. The man who has learned to eat
how to laugh well, has learned how to think
well. The error of our education is that we
make it too exclusively intellectual Intel
lectual vigor comes from moral inspiration.
Never wicked man was wise.
