In his speech at the Wyoming ceieora-
ton Mr., Hayes used these words;
Let us deal in good faith with the red
man. aid him with all that Is physlcaliy
REQUISITE, aud advance him morally aud
intellectually, In all cases we want to see
that settlers have sufficient military forces
to protect them, D.
mock var has grown we're officially reported
to MIR. Hayes aud his Cabinet nearly
wear ago, and had existed long before The
reservation agents gave an account OF the
starvation existing, while the newspapers
of Idaho and Montana soon after added
charges of mismanagementa aud fraud. The
Lembi Bannocks Quilted their reservation
| last winter. and some of the settlers at
oncebegau building stoekades in anticipation
of war. Yet nothing was done byMr.Sehurz
department to satisfy or relieve the tn
dams and nothing was done by Fir. NC
Crary's department to get ready to nght
them. This is what Mr.. Hayes calls pro-
tecting the settlers, while aiding the red
man physically, morally, aud intellectually.
At the outbreak of hostilities, the only
forts near the scene were Hall and Ellis.
AT Fort Ellis there were four companies
Of the Second Cavalry and one OF the Sew
enteenth Infantry; at Fort Hall there vas
only one company of the Fourteenth In-
lfantry. the latter being the sole immed!
lately available force. Our line of travel,

Yet at that time, and up to the hrs

Stand Firm.

The democratic convention to nominate
a candidate for congress for the Sixth
congressional district will meet at Prince
ton the 25th inst.
The republican and socialistic-labor oan
didates are already before the people in
the persons of Gen. Henderson and Rev.
Haney. The democrats of this district
know exactly what they have to meet.
The character and qualifications of Hen
derson have been exhibited by nearly two
terms Of service in the house, in which he
has done as little and been as harmless as
it is possible for well trained party man
to be,-aside from being the devoted fol-
lower of the party leaders he is emphati-
cally nothing as representative. The
Parson is decidedly more of positive
character. The degree Of difference be-
tween the two is that which exists between
a kuave and fool, not that these men are
either the one or the other but they bear
to each other relatively the same differ
ence. The Parson is vigorous, vain, ag
cressiye. and withal little despotic. A
school teacher is a little autocrat, his sur
rouudings make him sueh-the natural
tendency Of the priestly or ministerial
Office is III the same direction, The trans
fer of a preacher to the political arena
takes along with it the effects of prior dis
cipline as a leader; he talks. acts, aud
thinks Dramatically. as if whatever comes
from him had the sanction Of divine au-
thority-is of more weight and Importance
than it would be coming from any
other source. Neither the feeble and
negative characteristics of the republican
nominee nor the bold assumptions and
thus saith the Lord" style of the Preacher
are such as properly constitute an able
and efficient representative, or a desirable
member of legislative body Although
in this congressional district in tunes pas
a nomination on the republican side was
equivalent to an election, present circum
stances have materially changed the former
certainty, aud the issue is far more doubtful
than heretofore. 1t is important the de.
mocracy should nominate strong aDc
positive man, one whose political senti
ments are fully in accord with the views
and wishes of the party, whose persona
aud political record is above reproach. and
whose election would give the people
representative in congress Of decided rep
utatiuu aud influence. The convention
don't want to make any mistake in thi
regard. Mere individual preferences ar
nothing in comparison with the welfar
and paramount interests OF the party max
ing the nomination. The democracy wan
to nominate nen 10 order to win, not merel
TO preserve an organization. 1t is Of n
consequence whether our opponents

Some time ago an imperial ukase
recalled to ST. Petersburgh all Russian
ladies who were studying at the Berne
Polytechnicum, threatening with severe
penalties all those who did not speedily
obey the command. Eight of these Ia
dies, belonging to the best families,
have been condemned by the Russian
tribunals on the charge of being men,
bers of secret societies-six of them to
exile in Siberia and penal servitude in
the mines, and the other two to impris-
onment.

pupils. In London and Paris the Chi
