WESTERN SOCIETY.

* Z. hT E - "a
Henry Ward Beecher has unburdened
his mind twice to the irrepressible
newspaper interviewer, giving his i'm
pressions Of the great west. His ad-
miration of the audiences that poured
out to hear him, amounts almost to en-
thusiasm. Everywhere they were at
tentive and arpreciative, discerning the
fine points of his lectures with an adj
mirable readiness. Between the lines
of Mr.. Beecher's remarks it is easily
seen that he was %agreeably surprised at
times with the intelligence of his listen
ers. This was apparent when he told
a Chicago reporter that he never had a
more appreciative OF intelligent audi
ence than in the heart of Wyoming
Territory. And with his large, keen
mind he has grasped the true inward
ness of western society. He says that
with the exception of the ordinary from
tiersmen and herders, this society is
composed of the best siftings of the
East; and he is right Men of intelli-
gence and energy, who longed for a
more stirring life in arrange of great
possibilities, have fiocked to the ex-
panseless plains. They have populated
deserts aud transformed wastes into
farms and stock ranches. They have
brought from the depths hidden treas
ures, and made the surface produce I'M
told wealth. They have built cities
with their finely shaped and comforta-
bic buildings, and numerous churches
with their heaven-pointing spires. 1t
requires brains to do this much; this
the western people have. 1t also re-
quires e energy; this, too. existslin album
dance. Indeed, a man without brains
and energy has no business in the west.
He may live comfortably in the plod-
ding east. But here he would be
crowded to the rear in the natural com
petition of western life. Either want
or manual labor must soon confront
him. Then he returns to the home Of
his cradle and attributes his failure to
the poverty of natural resources. So
many of this class have returned and
spread their story that it has but toe
frequently been accepted as the true
picture of affairs. Hence the surprise
of visitors at our thrift, energy, intel
lect, and wealth.

THE country at large takes very lit
tie interest in the fact that a New York
journal has captured a lot of cipher tel

tried all he knew to capture the presi-

THE SIOUX OUTBREAK.

1t is most lamentable that an Indian
outbreak in Dakota should again occur.
The country is being rapidly settled
and developed, and the citizens are
aInassing property. They have had
perfect reason to believe that there was
an end to trouble on the part of the
hostiles. Red Cloud and Spotted Tail,
with their numerous followers, were
nicely.stowed away in agencies, while
Sitting Bull was s~elf-banished. Secur-
ity seemed vouchsafed. But inaction
or procrastination or the part of the
government has disturbed the harmony
of affairs, and it will indeed be fortu-
nate IL the Indian question, with the
Dakota tribes, will not have to be
fought over again. The Indian ques-
ton has narrowed down to a matter of
superior force and power, or an extern
siye feed for the savages on some para
disc Of an agency. As the latter fea-
n ture has failed, the first must be re-
sorted 10, and it is a most fearful and
costly alternative.
For once it seems that the Sioux.
have some little excuse. They desired
to be removed from Red Cloud agency
to White Clay. A commission investi-
gated the matter and reported favor
ably. which report was accepted by the
government. Since then the Indians
have been awaiting the orders to be
transferred. One -postponement fol-
lowed another until they concluded
that the government intended deceivipg
them Nothing seems to SO stir the
savage nature as a conviction of having
ing been duped. So a revolt was the
lnatupi consequenA and as revenge is
< the redman's great evener, he must
strike at anything and everything. He
cannot infict injury on the administra-
9 ton. but he can harass and destroy that
which represents government in part.
Hence the warfare, on settlers. On
them falls all the hardship of Indian
outbreaks.

THE republican leaders are holding
their breath until they learn the result
of the election held to-day in Iowa,
Indiana and West Virginia. The first
and last named states are certaintogo re-
publican and democratic, respectively.
But the majorities will 2 furnish
''straws." Indiana is as uncertain as
its health, but most likely to be sickly,
that is, democratic.

MISSIONARY WORK.

There is, even in these times of unprece
dented distress throughout the country,
when there are thousands of women and
children asking for bread, destitute of cloth
ing and seeking shelter from the storms, an
urgent effort set on foot to raise money to
send missionaries to the heather Chinese
and to other more benlghted humans. Peo-
pie who go along the streets to-day to the
sanctuary will see, if they will look for
them, young immortals, half clad and half
fed, who will not be seen at church or in
Suuday-school, simply because they are too
poor. And still there will be no collec-
tiOns taken up for their relief, and the
Sundays will come and go, money will be
collected for Hottentot and savage, but the
poor that are nearer home, with us and of u.s.
will in the future, as in the past, 20 on their
way drifting ever further from the right
until their feet press the pathways Of crime
and they are lost To give is right, indeed
il is pronounced blessed to give" but we
submit that it is better to give to the needy
at home rather than roam over the world
for objects of charity, and this objection
under the circumstances that now surround
u.s. is strengthened by the statement that
for every dollar collected not more
than 80 cents eyer find their way to the
heethen-70 cents of every dollar being alb
sorbed in salaries, etc. 1t is fair to assume
that if regular collections were taken up in
all the churches for the home poor, many
of whom have not seen the inside of a
OH for 0th CT wi
heard a sermon or the minstrelsy of the
Sabbath-school would be provided for, and in
this way money would accomplish an
amount of positive good which missionary
records do not show. At any
rate that which might be eminently
proper if the country was prosperous
In providing for the special wants of the
heather is manifestly inoppOrtune when
within sound of the jingle of money col
lected to be sent away there are those anx-
ious for crust to satisfy hunger and desti-
tute of clothing to hide their nakedness. 1t
will hardly do under such circumstances to
proclaim that foreign missionary enterprises
should have precedence. 1t is In direct an
tagonism to the rudiments of philanthropy,
and is not warranted by the teachings
of Christ himself. Let us have in
this matter OF missionary work more home
and less foreign expenditures. When all
the bright eyed and rosy checked children
in our midst are provided for, when hunger
disappears from hovel homes and rags cease
fiuttering in the breeze, it will be ample
time to think of the heather and provide for
his necessities

strengthening the Democratic Case.
IPhiladelnhia TimeSl

The testimony of Eiector Levissee exposes
new point in the democratic case, in that
1t shows very clearly that there was forgery
in connection with the Louisiana electoral
returns. As Mr.. Levissee is still a republi-
can in good standing, with no grievance
against the administration, and has mani
tested his loyalty to his party by spurning
br1be of a good many thousand dollars. ii is
fair to presume that even the most rabid
organs will admit that he tells the truth.
He declares in so many words that
his name as one of the electors
was forged on one OF the certificates
required by law to be forwarded to Wash
ington. How aud by whom are questions
interesting and pertinent, not because The
demonstration of this additional fraud will
affect the validity of the states vote as re-
ceived by the electoral commission and
counted by congress- but because it will be
step further towards the prime object of plac-
ing the whole catalogue of frauds involved
in this business on permanent record. 1t will
also be valuable as a further illustration OF the
damnaole rascality of the whole set of scurvy
politicians who gave Louisiana to Hayes and
whom some unsophisticated or hidebound re-
publlcans may still regard in the light of
martyrs in good cause rather than as scape-
graces who we'll deserve the penItentiary.
Governor kellogg was one Of the electors,
and as governor certified to the genuineness
of the forged certificate. He must know
something about it. Mr.. Marks, for whom Mr..
Sherman has provided handsomely within
the last few days was another electOr, and
perhaps be could give some information on
the subject Let them both be called even
though the truth is not in them.

THE POTTER COM MITrEE.

The advent of the radical party upon the
stage of American politics marked a new
era in the DEVILS influence upon the affairs
of nations. The world had been in travail,
according to sacred chronology, more than
six thousand years, before the monstrous
combina ion of wickedness cIawled forth
from its hIdeOus womb. 1t defies descrip-
ton and sets exaggeration at defiance. 1t
prays and breaches. and it steals, and lies
and commits forgeries and perjuries at the
same time. 1t pollutes like leper, con-
teammates like a pestilence, brothelizes the
most sacred shrines of freedom, and would
were it possible. debauch the goddess of lib
eriy herself Its aggregate steaIings since
the day it obtained power, almost defy
calculation, and the half is not yet known
Its frauds, its populations, its debaucheries-
its forgeries and its perjuries have covered
the country with the ulcers and scabs Of
crime as thick as were ever seen upon a
victim Of continent smallpox. Strike the
radical party where you will and you touch
a crime. Every chapter of its history is
black with infamy Coleridge is credited
he detected seventy separate and distinct
'stinks" But wherever the radical party
has burrowed any man of ordina
ry smelling powers could discover
without special effort, seventy thousand
separate and distinct smells, any one of
which would indicate rottenness, de.
handing investigation and remedy. 1t was
this condition Of national affairs under radi-
cal rule that drove from the party such men
as Horace Greeley and thousands of others
whose prescience enabled them to see the
deep and damning degradation that was GER
tain to befall their country. 1t was this
reign of corruption that startled the country
like thunder peals from an unclouded sky
and brought empire states under the banner
of the democratic party, and made it possible
for the national house of representatives TO
inaugurate q series Of investigations that,
commencing years ago, are likely 70 continue

until the political and moral atmosphere is
fully purified; until colossal scoundrelism is
thoroughly exposed and radical leaders in
crime receive the just penalties of their ne
farious deeds In recitide the crimes COM
mitted by the radical party, irrefragible
truth of history reads like fiction. It's as
if Grant who only escaped impeachment by
an incident, sought out men Of abandoned
characters and of thieving proclivities; men
who were ready at any time on the high seas
of politics to fly the black flag and
commit any crime necessary to in
crease the sum total of their plundenngs.
Constitutions were smitten down regardless
of consequences, laws dethroHed and tram
pied upon as of no more value than dirt; the
military power exalted above the civil, and
legislatures stabbed to death by federal bay
onets, and soldiers of the republic ordered
to stand guard while radical conspirators
plotted the overthrow of the people. There
have been a number OF investigating COM
mittees, and a number cf radical scoundreEs
have been compelled to go into exile. Every
Investigation has created a necessity for
mOFe lnftSliSallOiSs %tuSll al GIG VI ives
legations has been forced upon the
country. The Potter investigation commit
tee is now probing the radical party and
results astonish the world There seems to
be no bottom to radical frauds. Radical
conspirators are forced before the public
singly, in pairs, in groups, by tens and by
scores. John Sherman is blistered Stanley
Matthews Is dead; plague spots are upon
Hayes; Judge Harlan's robes are likely to be
smirched; the infamous eight of the electoral
commission will not escape the lightning of
the peoples Indignation. Frauds multiply
with every sitting of the Potter committee;
the area of the investigation widens;
its probes go deeper every time,
touching some scaly scoundrel, who is
dragged forth to shock the world by the hid
eousness of his crimes and the depravity OF
his nature. The investigation Will be his
torical Its revelations are to radicalism
what .trychDine is to dogs; it kills. They
are blowing the radical party to the devil as
certainly as IL it were subjected to the ex-
plosion of million tons of nitro glycerine.
There is no escaping the Potter committee.
1t means death to radicalism, but life to de-
mocracy and to honest government. We
are pIeased with the outlook.
