WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Ihe cabinet to-day
considered large amount of business, which
had accumulated during the Presidents alb
sence. There was some conversation concern
ing the clause in the army appropriation bill
prohibiting the use of the army, or any part
thereof as posse conlitatus to aid the civil
authorities etc. This clause, it was said, had
IN numerous instances been detrimental to the
government service. The secretary of war
stated, however, that he felt justified in direct
ing Gen. Crook, should he deem it to be neces-
sary, to afford protection to the Pacific rail-
roads. the government having an interest in
the roads, and duty to perform in the safe
conveyance of the mails. It was mentioned in
recently occurred on the Rio Grande, and that
while the late attempts to oVerturn the govern
ment of Mexico had been unsuccessful, the
country is in a bad condition. There being no
money to pay the federal officers and army, the
prospects of a stable government in Mexico
every day become more doubtful.

ONE by one the roses fade. Hon. j. M.
Finch, of Indianapolis, who has been life
long member of the Republican party, and
who was tried and trusted friend of Senator
Morton, has made speech at that city
characterizing the Republican, party as a
dead party. Speaking of Hayes assumption
of the Presidency he said:
It would be a pleasing thing to a political
speaker, and novelty to an audience, to be
able to pass tt e browning outrage of the Re-
publican party in its long career Of lawlessness.
But the truth is, no one can think Of American
politics without an indignant feeling that the
office of President should be filled by a man
who was never chosen to it. There are crimes
for which there can be no condonement: Thers
'SIo nlSu aHo esIo1oa AioiS., "l.ioh no decree OF
courts or commissions can affect. The wrong
may triumph before human tribunal, but it
continues to be wrong. Wrong never becomes
right. The honest mass of the Republican
party are beginning to understand the situa-
ton. They are learning the methods by which
| man not elected President was yet given the
Office 1t is confessed shame to them.

Bill KING, in all departments of his paper

to shift the responsibility by interviewing
the ring secretary, with the following result:
Mr.. Andrews said that the Millers' associa-
ton had nothing to do with the grading of the
wheat purchased along the st. Paul & Pacific
railroad; that the elevators along the line of
that road are owned by Commodore Davidson.

to the people in all classes
Of society. Resumption of course is pos
sible, but one who looks at the financial con-
dition of the countrr with candid mind,
and considers our present necessities and our
Gle payments is absolutely impossible. The
attempt to do so is fraught with many dan
gers to our trade and commerce, and to avert
the threatened disaster it will be the first
duty of Congress at its next session to inter-
pose barrier to the consummation of the
scheme of plumber now SO near its fulfill
ment.
IF any proof was needed that the Repub-
lican party is the party of the gold specula-
tors and at war with the true interests of
the people of the whole land who pay the
taxes and bear the burdens of government,
that proof is supplied by the utterances of
the Connecticut convention, inspired as they
apparently are from Washington and Wall
street. No party that truly represents the
people can have any fraternity with the ma
tional banks and the money sharks. The
interests of these classes are inimical to the
interests of the people, and this fact is fast
becoming fully understood on every hand.

BILL CHANDLER gives it up. He sees no
hope for the Republicans of New Hampshire,
and in letter sent to several prominent
partisans asking for suggestions which may
avert the disaster, he frankly admits the in
evitable thus:
Many Republicans. honestly believing that
by substituting greenbacks for the national
bank currency and by other Objectionable legis-
lation some relief may be fairly obtained from
the present distress, are sure, in view of the
Maine election, to join the Greenback party,
with whom the Democracy will try to form a
close alliance. From this last cause alone it
seems more than probable that there will be no
choice of Governor by the people and no Re.
publican majority, by the people, to the Senate,
and that there will be a Democratic and Green
back majority in the House. If this is the re-
suit on election-day, Republican ascendency in
New Hampshire is ended for long period, un.
less wise and vigorous action is taken to pro.
long it.

ter, if it is true that Gan honest confession is
good for the SOUL"

The Massachusetts Bourbon Democrats
demand the abolition of the poll-tax in that
State, the payment of which is prerequisite
of the exercise of the elective franchise.
This poll-tax was levied for the purpose of

HERE is the way Bill Kings paper, in its
alleged st. Paul department, stabs this city,
to curry favor with Bills chums.
Now that it has been made plain that it is
not the Minneapolis MilIers' association at all,
but the st. Paul elevator company, its agents
and inspectors who are responsible for any
frauds or wrongs that may have been perpe-
trated on the farmers on the line of the St..
Paul 4 Pacific in grading their wheat below its
proper standard, etc.
This falsehood is as mean as it is infamous.
The St. Paul elevator company does not buy
a bushel of wheat, and has no interest il,
unfair grading. Even the Minneapolis

ness says:

Two years ago the Democracy of Ohio
were IN desperate straits, and were fearful
lest they would lose the State. Happily Carl
Schprz came to their rescue in speech
advocating the election of the Republican
ticket, and they were successful at the polls.
This year they are not in as great danger,
but to make assurance doubly sure the great
civil service reformer is gong to launch his
most violent phillipics at them and their
leaders. ALI doubt of the result in Ohio
may therefore be regarded as at an end.

TILDEN LAID OUT.

The attempt of the adherents of Samuel
j. Tilden to control the action of the New
York Democratic State convention at SYRIA
cuse on Wednesday proved failure, and
the anti Tilden Democrats, represented bv
Tammany Hall, were admitted to seats.
The Tildenites afterwards met and pro-
tested against this action, but returned to
and participated in the further proceedings
of the convention.
The quarrels between the Tammanv and
anti Tammany factions are of annual occur
renee in the Democratic conventions of the
Empire State. Usually they are of little
significance, simply indicating struggle
for supremacy in the local politics of the
State. But this year the dispute has assumed
a national Importance. Ever since the ont
rage perpetrated by the electoral commission
through which Mr.. Tilden was defrauded of
the Presidency, to which he had been hon
estly elected, that gentleman and his friends
have been using every endeavo: to foist him
upon the country as the Democratic candi-
date in 1880. Although Mr.. Tl.den made a
good run IN 1876, it cannot be denied that he
has, since the close of that canvass, devel-
oped traits of character that have made him
probably the weakest man in the country as
future candidate, and his termination in
1880 would have been the signal of defeat
for the party. In order to gain the nomina-
ton it was necessary that he should be able
to control the delegation from his own State,
and this could only be done through captur-
ing the party organization formed at the
Saratoga convention. To succeed in this
ne has devoted every energy. His friends in
New York city have antagonized Tammany
Hall at every point, and have employed every
device known to the astute politician and
wire puller throughout the State to manipu
late the delegations. Their purpose was
fully understood, and the issue was therefore
clearly defined of Tilden and anti T1lden.
The result will be hailed with satisfaction
throughout the length and breadth of the
country. The Tammany organization is
entitled to gratitude, even though it had
never done anything else for the people, for
it has efectually checked the designs of
Tilden on the White House. With HIM az a
candidate in 1880 the Democracy could
never hope to win, and there would be a
continuance for another four years of the
rule that has proved SO disastrous to the
best interests of the nation. It makes but
little difference this year whether the Demo-
Gratis, the Republicans or the Greenbackers
carry the State of New York so long as it is
surety that the sage Of Grammercy Park
cannot control its delegation in the next
Democratic national convention. Some

"But is it not evident to you that the

FAIR WARMING.

Bill King coarsely assails Mr.. Hodges in
his paper because he Hodges has had the
courage to expose Washburn's Piunder-
ing wheat ring. He assails Mr.. Hodges as
'sslanderer," "a blatherskite," tan ignora-
mus" &c. Mr.. Hodges is gentleman whose
ability and integrity are beyond question.
His honor and honesty are not surpassed by
any man living. He has fought combina-
lions fully as powerful as the Wash
burn wheat ring, and made them
bite the dust. He is not the man to be bull
dozed or inundated, and the abuse heaped
upon him will simply nerve him to the work
which has been assigned him.
And now having said this much, we desire
to apologize to the public for making any
defense of an honorable man like Mr..
Hodges from the assaults of such a person
as Bill King. Mr.. King is not the man to
set himself up as public censor and criticise
his betters. When Mr.. King retired
from public life and essayed to be a
private citizen, simply, the GLOBE be.
lieved in letting the past be buried, but as
he has chosen to again enter the public
arena he must expect to be treated az a pub
lie character. The GLOBE would advise Mr.
King to confne his editorial efforts tt
slush relative to Nicollet Island, and Mime
apolis in general rather than the persona
line of remark which he INDUCED in yester
day. The GLOBE proposes to treat Mr.
King generously, but if he should persist il
the line inaugurated by him yesterday j
may be necessary to bring up the record o
this self constituted critic and institute com
PARSONS. We trust Mr.. King will appre
ciate the force of this gentle hint and govern
himself accordingly.
