The Indian War.

Gen. Towards creditable victory over
the Indians near PendletOn in north
eastern Oregon, is followed by triumph
of our forces under Miles in the same
vicinity, and the situation is much less
critical than it was ten DAYS ago,
though the 300 volunteers Gov. Chad
wick has called out and the ten COM
panies of troops ordered from California
and Arizona, will doubtless find enough
to do. 1t has proved impossible to
prevent the redskins from accomplish
ing the purpose avowed several weeks
ago, of crossing the Columbia river into
Washington territory, a considerable
number having already got over. The
Umatillas, who probably constitute a
majority of the Indians on the war path,
are much above the average of red men,
and their chief offense against the
whites seems to be that they occupy a
rich country which their civilized neigh
bors want, and they don't submit tame
ly to the encrOachments on it. They
are warm friends of the Nez Perces.
who show signs of a desire to fight
again. The Sioux in Dakota led bv
Red Cloud and Spotted Tail, for long
time our friends, squarely refuse to ac-
cept nything but the fulfilment of the
Presidents promise to move them to a
reservation some distance west of the
place on the Missouri where they are
now located. Along with the reports
of Indian rebellion there and elsewhere
In the West comes, appropriately
enough, the revelation of a remarkable
series of frauds at the agencies on the
Missouri.

President Hayes Asserts His Rights

1t really looks as though President
Hayes meant something when he de-
clared for civil service reform, after all.
On Thursday last he removed Collector
Arthur of New York and nominated
Surveyor E. A. Merritt as his successor.
Naval Officer Cornell was also deposed
and Silas w. Burt, the present deputy.
appointed to the vacancy.
1t will he remembered that the Pres
ident undertook to remove these Off
Gals last winter, but the Senate under
the lead of Conkling refused to confirm
his nominees. The removal of these
officials was thought necessary because
their political activity debauched poll
tics and untitled them for public service,
and for other reasons. 1t cannot be
forgotten how Cornell in particular
defied the Presidents order in regard
to federal officials taking active part in
local politics. The Presidents hands
being tied by the refusal of the Senate
to cOuntenance the removal of these
men, he exercised his constitutional
power by removing them after the Sen
ate adjourned. We believe the people
will sustain the President in his efforts
to purify the civil service, and carry
out the principles of the platform on
which he was elected.

Advice as is Advice.

There is considerable dissatisfaction
with the way the Caledonia county con-
ventiOn was "run,n but we hardly see
what good will result from a bolt OF
from scOlding. While Mr.. Ide and MI.
Preston were very capable and worthy
officers, it cannot be said that Mr.. Car
ter and Mr.. SullOway are men who will
naturally do discredit to the offices. Mr..
Carter has good reputation in Hard
wick, and Mr.. Sulloway is said to be a
very faithful and efficient officer. He
is esteemed highly enough in Wheelock
to represent that in the legislature.
As to the other nominees, we presume
they are full an average with those who
have heretofore served in the places for
which they are nominated. The only
particularly bad thing we can see about
it is the presumed fact that there was a
''ring" that run the convention accord
ing to pre-arranged plans. The out-ly-
ing towns are little envious toward
st. Johnsbury, and probably conspired
to beat that town in the convention.
Mr.. 1de and Mr.. Preston will not suffer
by being left off the ticket, and if the
other gentlemen do not meet the ex-
pectatiOns of their friends, they will be
cast overheard at the next convention.
Voters ought to make it impossible for
a ring to manage any political matters
of importance. BARRON Monitor.
We have no doubt the Monitor states
the above in all kindness, and in the
interests of harmony and the "machine.n
We take our part of it with meekness /;

The Montreal Annual Row.

The Montreal Orangemen finally con-
cluded to abandon their intention OF
parading last Thursday, after assem-
bling ut their headquarters for the pur-
pose. Under protection of the police
they we've escorted to their homes, and
beyond the assaulting of one or two
members of the order no violence of
magnitude occurred. The local militia
and extra police force were dismissed
early in the evening, and the city re-
sumed its wOnted quiet before midnight.
An exchange in speaking of these an
nnal occurrences, well says: These
celebrations of old-wOrld controversies
are alien to American soil at best, and
it is an offense that they should be
maintained. But, aside from this ques-
ton, it is high time that state or munich
pal authorities should establish just
and uniform rule for the management
of public streets. The average process
sion is a nuisance, and should not longer
be permitted to monopolize the high
way at its pleasure.

! drnnken man. "Fifteen cents" was
the answer. The money was paid and
the pilot returned to his post, to watcn,
no doubt, for another job. Here is
hint to enterprising and able bodied
men who are out of work. There is
nlepty of business to be picked up on
Chatham street, the Bowery and the
avenue and we presume that the rail-
wav company will cheerfully cooperate
in an arrangement that promises to Sc
cure for them great many passengers
who are now lost to the road IN conse-
uuence of a temporary inability to find
the way from the sidewalk to the track.

GENERAL BANKS ON THE RAMPAGE.
What have we been taught that the
word Republican means? 1t means the
defence of the country it means the
flag at which the enemy is aiming its
efforts, and to us Republicans the cOun-
try owes it's continued salvation. We
must fight the war over again, and this
time we must make our victory more
decisive. Washington, Jackson and
Lincoln each and all tried to crush it
but it still lives and it's power is yet a
menace to the Republic. Let us direct
our efforts wholly against this, the
greatest evil that we have to contend
with, not giving damn in the mean
while for gold money or paper money.

The South is sick of agitation and
disturbance, and views with regret and
disgust the mobocracy of the North.
And, should the bloed-Or-bread riots of
that section result in a serious conflict
with authorities, the government will
find the stanchest supporters and warm

The president has made a mistake
which is equally unjustifable and I'M
fortunate. In removing Collector Ar
thur and Naval Officer Cornell, he has
violated his own declared principles of
the civil-service, disregarded the DELHI
crate expression of coordinate branch
of the government, re-opened cOntro-
versy which republicans everywhere
had supposed to be happily closed, and
provoked a strife which all who have
republican interests at heart must deep
ly regret. AIbany Evening Journal.

as our influence goes it shall not be to
turn out the best officers the county
ever had and put men in their places
who cannot fill them, just because they
want to be elected. If the writer of the
above paragraph knew the candidates

as they are known here, he would not
have made such statements. We fully
agree with his closing sentence, how
ever: "Voters ought to make it impos-

what we urge upon the voters of this

OF INTEREST TO ALL.-The follow
ing item from the Barton Monitor will
apply as well to this county:
This is very healthy season thus
far, in this vicinity, but it is well to
remember that many of the diseases
that afflict families and communities
are the result of carelessness and filth
ness on the part of the owners and Oc-
cupants of buildings. 1t is very easy
to breed diphtheria, typhoid fever, dys-
EMERY and other dangerous diseases, by
neglecting to thoroughly cleanse stables,
water closets, sink drains and other
places where nasty, decaying matter ac-
cumulates. This is the time to attend
to this matter. The gems of disease
are now being sOwn. Chloride of lime,
carbolie acid, and copperas are excell-
ent cleansers and disinfectants, to be
used in places where the filth cannot be
removed.

We declare most unhesitatingly, that
Mr.. Davis has not spoken the senti-
ments of any respectable number of the
Southern people. He stands with Mr..

extreme of the extremists. The vast
majority of the people stand on this
question with Governor Hampton, SEN
ator Lamar, Senator Gordon, General
Chalmers, aud other great Conserva-
tive leaders, Vicksburg Herald.
This Vermont independent move
ment rises above any personal quarrel,
or the ambition of any man or set of
men. Of course interested politicians
will do everything in their power to
break it, because they know that its
tendency is to make politics something
better than trade and to take awaV
the corrupt corporate teats which thew
have been sucking and fattening on.
And by the bowling OF both sides un-
dOubtedly good many well meaning
men will be scared or fooled into vot-
ing the straight tickets, though with
the certainty that they both mean n
continuation of the evils under which
all are grooming. But let not the hon
est, earnest Independents, or their can
didates, be terrified. Abuse of the
dirtiest and meanest kind will be heap-
ed upon them by their desperate OPP
pOnents before the campaign closes /;
but they have the consciousness of
right and unselfish exertion on their
side, and that is far better than success
or power.-Brattleboro Reformer.
A NEW INDUSTRY.
A new industry has been discovered
on the east side of the city. A gentle
man riding down town by the Third
avenue Railway noticed decent look
ing man who escorted a drunken COM
paniOn to the car and, after seeing him
safely slowed away with a timid pass
enger to lean against, returned to the
sidewalk. Going up town again in the
evening by the same route, what was
the surprise of our informant to see the
same guide bring another tipsy person,
and prop him up on the rear platform
of the car, the seats being all taken.

The Fight in the Third District.

As the District Convention is to be
held ut Hyde Park next Wednesday
there are but few more days in which
to fire the hearts of the good voters OF
the District, and this is being done in a
rather questionable if not disreputable
manner. The whole number of dele
gates possible in the Convention is 30 /;
necessary to a choice, l06. Most of
these will have been elected before our
readers see this. The Newport Express
of Tuesday says that the reports from
the caucuses thus far held, show the
number of delegates for GrOut, 80, for
Barlow, &c, antiBarlow preferences, Z.
1t will be seen that this leaves 81
votes unrecorded. Since this report
and up to the present writing, ten more
delegates for Barlow and two for circuit
have been chosen, making the record
now stand
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1878-07-19

With one town in Franklin, two in
Grand Isle, one in Chittenden, seven in
Lamoille and nine in Essex yet to hear
from.
1t is doubtful from present Informal
ton if either Barlow or Grout have a
majority in the Convention on the first
ballot. There is a great cutlery against
Mr.. Barlow's use of money in the cam
paign, and we notice that Mr.. CIRCUITS
friends are yet suspicious of Mr.. Hen
dee, some believing that he is still
hopeful of a nomination. Mr.. Hendee
is one of the delegates from Morrisville.
The Express intimates that if Mr.. Grout
is defeated in the Convention, he will
go before the District as an independ-
ent candidate. 1t promises to be warm
at Hyde Park the oath.
