" Gen. John Mcneil, of Missouri, was re-
GENTLY nominated for Indian Inspector, but the
Democratic members of the Senate male bit

opened to the real character of this Democratic

n Within the past few months. the Chief has
set going on the rounds several choice old poems
that had not appeared in print for years, and of
which the authorship was unknown. Two of
them we now find in exchanges almost daily,
one of them credited to Good Words, and the 9th
er to the Burlington Ha@keye. They were both
written before Good Hords the Burlington
Hswktye had an existence. This is the way in
which the authorship of so many poems gets intp
dispute. Newspapers either steal something
that is old and ont of print, and palm it off as
original, or exchanges, in copying, credit them
as original TO whatever paper they chance to
find them in.

And now, sir, in conclusion, let me say, the Repub-

| Nor In THE RACE.-Ex Governor Robinson
writes a communication to the Kansas Spirit, in
which he makes some very sensible and practi-
| cal suggestions to the Greenback men of Kansas,
as TO their course in the coming State election.
Our present purpose is TO alude to but one of
his suggestions. He says that if the Republi-
cans nominate man for Governor who is in IA
vor Of Greenbacks, all Greenback men who are
Republicans would aud ought to support him !;
and he mentions our name as one who would
receive such support. Now, as we know Governor
Robinson to he an honest man, who always
speaks and stands by his convictions, un,ler any
and all circumstances, we feel fiattered by his
allusiOn. and thank him, the same as if we
wanted the office. But we do not, and the gen.
tlemen who are anxious for the position need
not bother themselves about the amount of op-
position they will have to encounter from this
the position, few of which we shall here state.
I. We have no taste for the Office, and no am
bition in that direction.
2 We are destitute of the requisite cheek, if
we had the desire. We could not beg and bum
for support, and give out multitude Of prom
ises to voters.
j. We were going to say that We had not the
ability. But remembering some who have filed
the Office, We think we are eminently qualified.
4. There is one Office that we desire to pos
sess and devote our attention to !; and we kRop
We qualified for that. In regard to that of
flee, We are subject to the charge of Casarism,
and to desire for many terms. We refer to
the Office Of the KaHsas Chief That is our best
hold, and that we propose to stick to.
5. We have lived to the present time with
out having heard word or suspicion against
our character or acts, and We do not want to be
placed in position in which bad things would
be said of u.s. 1t would hurt our feelings.
G. We have no idea We could get the Office, if
We wanted it the worst kind.
Z. We are restrained by a sense Of magma
nimity toward our political opponents. 1t is well
known that the Troy Bulletin is a straight Demo
cratic organ /; but if we were nominated for
Governor, the Bulletin would bolt its own party
nomination, in order to support us. While We
have always opposed the Democracy party,
we have many Democratic friends, and would
not want to be the means of bereaving them in
the manner just stated.

REsUMPTIOS.-It is said to he fact, that re-
sumption has already commenced, and Eastern
and Western banks are paying ont gold, and the
yellow metal is coming into circulation. 1t re-
sumed itself, rs it were-no doubt the remone-
tization of silver hurried it up. Greenbacks are
now worth about as much as gold, and by bill
agreed upon by both Houses Of Congress, there
will be no further destruction of legal tender
notes. Now, if resumption is already fact,
without any evil influences resulting from it,
where is the need of repeating the resumption
lawi And if the Greenbacks are to be kept in
circulation, together with silver and gold, what
becomes of the occupation of the Greenback
Clnbse Nothing remains but their wild demand
for 81 900 apiece, or SO many hundred dollars for
every man, woman and child in the land. But
as this is advocated only by those who would
have no money if it were to be picked up in the
highways it will not do to rally party upon.

ARMY REORGANIZATION.

General James Harrison Wilson, one of
the most brilliant cavalry officers of the fe
deral army during the late civil war, whose
fortune it was to capture Jefferson Davis,
penetrating his disguise, contributes an ar
ticlc to the July august number of the In.
ternational Review on General Up,on's
Armies of Asia and Europe" in which he
gives views on the subject of reduction
and change of our present military organ
ization and force. Gen. Wilson Is bril-.
liant writer, as well as officer. and his att
Gle sustains his reputation. 1t is his opin
ion that congress fails to comprehend the
first requisite of statesmen. namely, to mas
ter the elements of whatever subject en-.
cages his attention" He claims that as
population increases and the struggle for
existence becomes sharper, the danger OF
strikes and their internal connections will
increase, and it is the part of wisdom. as it
was year ago, to recognize q well.Organ-
lied army as necessary part of strong
and stable government. Although our vol.
unteer system, modelled on that of Eng
land, has carried us successfully thus far
through four desperate and sanguinary
wars. Every other nation, England except.
ed, whose reasons cannot safely be adopted
by ue, has abandoned the volunteer system,
substituting therefor compulsory military
system. The time has arrived when We
should change our policy.
In regard to the West Point academy,
Gen. Wilson says it has paid the country
back thousand fold for the money expeud.
ed upon it. Gen. Wilson advocates Gen. Up
tons plan of recognizing the army, the
chief object to be kept in view being that
the army in time of peace shall be simply
training school to prepare officers for staff
duty and to hold high commands, to which
end "it is indispensable that an interchange
able relation should be established between
the staff and toe line"

YANKroN's JEALOUS EYES.
Niobrara Pioneer,

The packet enterprise for Niobrara is re.
sulting in some favorable signs. Our people
are beginning to realize the necessity Of
steam packet from here to Sioux CITY and
up the river, and those away from home are
not slow to appreciate the scheme. 1t ia
making for Niobrara and Sioux City good
shipping points, but unless we have regular
packet between the two places, with an oc-
casional trip up the river with our produce,
We had better have none. tits to Sioux City's
interest to do something for this important
enterprise, and We trust our merchants will
keep the matter before those who can do
something for us if they will:
Yankton boats have very little accommo.
dation about them when Niobrara is con-
sidered, while Sioux City boats try to do
what is fair. Our produce cannot be shipped
from here to up river points merely because
We live in Nebraska and not in Dakota.
None of these Yankton boats stop unless
compelled to, and then they make great ado
about it. Besides it is no interest for us to
patronize those places that throw out no sub.
stantial inducements to US. We have never
received any direct or indirect benefit from
Yankton, and it does not pay for us as a
people to help to build up that point and re-
ceived no benefit. 1t is said that Sioux City
has done us no good. It in one sense is true:
but it cannot be said that she has done US
any direct harm. Sioux City does not look
upon this section with Jealous eyes like
Yankton, but rather with legitimate business
views. This is her right and our interest.
Her railroad facilities afford her better ad.
vantages than any other place for the trade
of the upper Missouri, but it il not complete
without the means of cheap transportation.
This cannot be done by the Dakota Southern.
but it can be done by steamer packet a.
has been suggested. Enough business can be
done between Sioux City and Niobrara from
now until the close of navigation TO keep q
packet busy, and the enterprise ought 70 be
Immediately worked up.

The Deadwood Pioneer, upon the sub.
ject of Lawrence county politics and the
coming election OF county officers. says:
In the contest that is to come, the repub-
lican party have but one plain line of duty
before them, and if this is followed, success
at the polls in October will rs surely follow
as the setting succeeds the rising of the
sun. Fortunately for the party, there is no
ring or clique of republican politicians here
who seek their own personal advancement
above that of the party. and all now seem
not only willing but anxious that the ticket
to be put before the people shall be made
up Of men whose past and present record is
without stain or blemish, and whose ability
and integrity is beyond question or doubt.
In the coming contest, the democracy have
much to apologize for and explain away to
the tax payers and voters of the county, be.
fore they can even dare to again ask for the
lease of county power.
