from Cincinnati to Columbus the night be-
fore the caucus, and sought and secured a
private interview with gentleman George"
Coming from the room, he sent for report
er named Mccormick, who represented the
Enquirer, and impaired to him the startling
information that it was all up with Ewing
that the Ewing and Morgan men had broken
and determined to unite on Pendleton. The
unsuspecting youth at once sent the follow
ing to the Enquirer:
JAN: 1O.-2 a. MI have Just learned that
the entente cordiale between the Ewing and
Morgan men had been broken off tonight,
and that there is every indication of STAN
pede of the more lukewarm of these forces to
Pendleton. The friends of the latter are iu-
bilant over the matter, as, in their opinion,
it insures the election Of their man beyond
the cavil of doubt. have just been given
evidence that it is almost indisputable that
Pendleton will be nominated on the first bal
lot. 1t appears that fully half of Morgan's
support is relied on to leave him, and there
is also reported a large detection from Ew-
ing's ranks. It looks at present as if Len
Harris predictions would come true.
That there was CONSERVATION in the Ew-
ing ranks next morning when the staunch-
est supporter he had thus apparently expe-
rlenced change of heart, grown lukewarm,
and incontinently Topped, is better told than
perfectly expressed. Meantime the manipu-
lator of the scheme had slipped back to
Cincinnati to enjoy his trick and keep out of
the turmoil which resulted when the news
got back to Columbus. Pendleton, it is said,
was as much surprised as any one at the sud
den turn caused by the bold stroke of the
young man, for after giving the interview he
undoubtedly expected something of differ
ent nature, and was exceedingly nonplussed
at receiving nothing beyond the compli-
ments of the day. However, it worked to a
charm, and gave Ewing and Morgan their
most decided blow. jim Mclean had Won
his point. Pendleton was nominated in eau
Gus, and to-day witnessed his election. John
Mclean was left to swallow bitter pill, and
to attempt an explanation of the manner il
which the Enquirer was hoodwinked.

TEXAS IND THE RIO GRdNDE.

Mexico is most peculiar country. It is
never at peace, and never satisfied. It is 30
shaken up and mixed together, that it is
impossible for one to understand either the
people, the government, if there is amp, or
the condition of either. When Maximillian
went there, there was a prospect that they
would have white man and a gentleman
and royal prince for ruler. That did not
suit them. For forty years the same eternal
squabbling, fighting, plundering, robbing
and numbering have been going on. At
one time old General Santa Anna
had them comparatively subdued, and
he himself was very popular and exercised a
powerful influence. But he was such an
unauthorized old rascal, that he lost all his
influence, was exiled, and ever since Mexico
has been torn to pieces. It is the fairest
land beneath the sun. The country is rich
IN natures choicest gifts. What matters it?
There is no protection to life or property.
it is inhabited by race of half, quarter, and
all other mixed breeds, half civilized, bar
barous. The truth is, Mexico is public
ulAoduCt, al uLer-NaClOnal nuisance, and
should be abated. The Texas borders have
been constantly exposed to Mex
lean raids, and the settlers
in Texas along the Rio Grande, are not safe
one moment without the presence of troops.
The Government of the United States is per-
fectly careless on the subject. True, of late,
some movement has been made to defend the
Texas settlers, but it will end in smoke.
The troops should be ordered to cross the
Rio Grande and thrash the thieves out of
their boots.
Indeed it is about time the Mexican NUS
ance should be abated, and if the United
States will not interfere and take possession
and annex the whole Of it, it would be far
better to waive the Monroe doctrine for a
while, and let some other nation come in and
appropriate it, so that we could have the ben
eft Of that rich commerce that would follow
the pacifcation of that distracted land.

oA1.1 SEIZURE AND INDIAy FnAu1

CARL SEIZURE AND INDIAN FRAUDS.
What is Mr.. Schurz doing? What does he
propose to do? He has been Secretary of
the Interior now nearly two years, and has
done absolutely nothing that we are aware
of to unearth the tremendous frauds of the
Indian ring and the general plumber of the
pine thieves. Itpis the farce that was enacted
at the last term of the U. S. Circuit Court
here in St. Paul of ining a few parties who
had cut timber on the government lands.
But that was mere drop in the bucket, a
drop Of twenty-five to thirty years robbery.
Mr.. Schurz promised US great things, but
the promise has been vapor. The Indian
service remains the same. The notorious
political scalawag, John @. Smith, former
commissioner, was relieved it is true, but it
IS equally true that he was rewarded for his
eminent services by the position of Consul
General at Montreal, with salary of $4,000
year. That's reform with vengeance.
The service has not improved enc
iota. The same eastern merchants
are bidding for the trade and
have the trade. There are squabbles among
the agents and traders. The Agencies are in
disorder. One is run by one church and
another by some other church, and the
whole is one interminable complication OF
fraud, swindlng, stealing, whisky and beads
mixed together.
Meanwhile the Indians are huddled to.
gether around the forts, mass of living
putrefacation, the squaws debauched by
white men and Indians alike, and the mer
half starved on cards and whisky. African
slavery was considered a great blot on ON
civilization, but what shall we say to a gov
eminent that stands paralyzed i'll the pres
ence of the simple problem of Indian man
agement with its easy solution staring us in
the face across the borders in Canada.
We much fear that Nh. Schurz is more in.
terested in finance and bondholders than in
the settlement of the Indian question. Il
he proposes to do anything in his department
it is time he was about it. If he
can not grasp the subject, if he
is impotent to institute the much
needed reforms iu the Indian service, then
let him resign and give way to some one who
can, Cabinet ministers are becoming ia,
moro ornamental than useful, and all the
promises we heard about the publication OF
the public service seems to amount to pre-
serving the statet gao of the brainless Grant
and to keep in Office and maintain on the
public expense seventy or eighty thousand
lazy drones who fill the various Offices of the
United States.

FINANCIAL EMBARRASSMEETS and
HARD TIMES


What is the matter with the country? The
last harvest was most abundant. Here in
Minnesota we raised, it is said, forty mil
lions of bushels Of wheat. Think of six or
seven hundred thousand people with an an
nual income from one staple alone of $4O,-
100000. 1t is enough to make Minnesota
the wealthiest State Oh the globe. And else
where in the Northwestern and Western
States, and indeed all over the country.
there were abundant crops. And yet there
is general depression in business. The num-
Der of business failures has quadrupled
in the year, and stagnation has been the order
of tho day. There are no natural causes for
this condition of affairs. The real causes
are artificial. They spring from Republican
legislation to control the finances. The
stagnation in business has grown out of a
long system of contraction for the benefit of
capitalists, ending in the demonstration of
silver. This is the real cause. There is a
want of confidence, and there is not money
enough in circulation. The folds of the Re
publican Boa Constructor have been tighten
ing around the people until they are held
with no power to move. The only remedy is
to put stop once and forever to Republican
contraction.

And, vet. the Republican traitors ora =

And, yet, the Republican traitors are not
satisfied. They would rejoice to see, they
would do anything to produce an outbreak
in the South, and they will try by all hellish
means before the next Presidential election
to make an occasion for the interposition of
bayonets. Dismiss that hope, blind leaders
OF the blind. The strength of Philip Of
Macedon lay in the divided counsels Of the
Greeks, but there are no divided counsels in
the South, nor in the Democratic party.
The doom of Republican hypocrisy has been
written by the hand of relentless fate. There
never will be another Republican President
of the United States, and SO long as the
government of the United States shall en-
dure, the people never again will submit to
the humiliation of having the highest Office
tainted with the suspicion of fraud.

WHEN James Buchanan proposed to An
drew jackson in 1924, a bargain with the
Clay men, an assurance to them that Mr..
Clay would be made Secretary of State, on
condition that they would vote Jackson in
preference to Adams. Old Hickory answered,
SAY to Mr.. Clay's friends that before I
would reach the presidential chair by means
of such bargain and corruption, I would see
the earth open and swallow Mr.. Clay and
his friends and myself with them" The
man who occupies the White House at this

honest jackson. He has taken the Presi-
dency under circumstances of bargain and
corruptionsfar more .discre6itable than those
attributed to the coalition of Clay and Adj

The Pulling Passion.
New York Graphic.


The Washington Post tells an extraordin-
airy story about the profered resignation of
Secretary Schruz and the reason for it's with
draWal. The Secretary is, it seems, bitterly
opposed to the disappointment of Postmas-
ter fllley, OF st. Louis. So sure was he that
he could control the Office that he offered it
to personal friend. The conversation on
the subject between the President and Mr..
schurz had impressed the latter with the
idea that his friend would be appointed.
When MI. Fllley's name was sent to the
Senate the Secretary, who believed that he
mad been deceived, at once wrote his resigna-
ton and sought the President to urge in per-
son Its acceptance. President HAYES. SO
proceeds the narrative, begged the Secretary
to Withdraw the resignation, as Mr.. Filley's
appointment was only decided upon because
it was the death-bed request of Senator Nor
ton that Postmaster Filley should be retained.
1t this story be true. what a grim
satire it is on our whole political life. It
shows that this wretched spoil system has
eaten into the very vitals of us all-that to
get office for their friends had become an or
gained habit of our statesmen which
cannot be shaken off even in the article of
death. Napoleon died with s.Head of the
army on his lips; Daniel Webster with 81
still live; General Wadsworth with ssTurn me
over and let me die with my face to the foe;'
Danton with "Perish my memory, but let
France be Free" but the modern American
Senatorial leader breathes out his life in
LET Filley have the ST. Louis postofice'
The ruling passion was certainly strong in
death. II Morton made this request, his
friends ought to have kept it to themselves,
and If they were foolish enough to mention
it, it ought to have been treated with the con-
tempt 1t deserved. IF there is any truth in
circumstantial story, it forms most humii-
atlng commentary on the aims of our states
men, their weaknesses, and the length to
which they will go for petty appointment.

IN ELECTITE o. s. JUDICIARY.

dN EAECll W u. 81 OCOxCxAHY. 5s4
While the Third House, Senator Davis, is
bringing his avoirdupois to bear upon re-
organization of the Judiciary, we commend
to his consideration the wisdom of making
the United States Judges elective by the peo-
ple An amendment to the constitution to
that effect, we believe, would receive the ap-
proval Of the States and of the people.
Confidence in the Supreme Court has been
very much weakened of late years. The
Judges are politicians. They proved that
beyond all question in the Electoral Commits
sion, and men who acted and voted
as did Miller and Bradley, are unworthy
to set as judges on the supreme bench. It
would be best for the people, best for the
government, that the judges shonld owe
their positions directly to the people. There
is no reason why partisan President should
be allowed to appoint partisan judges. Let
us have new deal, and begin again. With
the Supreme Court filed with judges learned
In the law, educated men, nominated and
elected by the people, say for term of ten
years, or less or more, there would
be no danger of good judge
being turned out of Office. No man
who NEEDLES in politics, local, state
or national, is worthy to sit on any bench.
We want the Judiciary eternally divorced
from politics. We don't mean to say that
Democrats should elect Republican Judges
unless there is no Democrat with sufficient
brains and honesty to fill the Office, especially
in Democratic counties, States and circuits
but let majority of the voters decide. II
will come to this. The country cannot sur
vive political Judiciary appointed by a par
tisan President. 1t is impossible, and al
though we are the first to moot this question
we venture the assertion that in less than five
years it will be an all-absorbing topic with
the people.
