WE are glad to see that Secretary Schurz
and Mr.. Hayes have tcken decided stand
against the invasion of the Indian Terri
tory. The aborigines have been driven from
pillar to post for the last century, robbed of
their hunting grounds and 1uthlessly mur-
dered on every hand. AS partial compen-
sation for the wrongs they have suffered the
government has set aside the section de
scribed as the Indian Territory for their oc-
cupancy, and has given its pledge that il
shall remain inviolate from white settlement
We trust that this pledge it is MOI
more than half justice-Will te strictly OBJ
effable disgrace to the nation.

IT seems to be settled that Kellogg will be
kicked out of the Senate at a very early day.
There has never been even the slightest pre-
tense on his own part or on the part of his
friends that he was legally elected to the Of
flee which he holds. He was admitted SIM
ply to carry out the infamous bargain by
which Hayes attained to the Presidency
through the electoral vote of Louisiana. Fol
long time his own party refused to endorse
his claim to the place, and it was only from
knowledge that he possessed the key tc
the Presidential position that finally induced
them to give him seat. The presence Of
such man in the highest Legislative branch
| of the government, is standing disgrace tc
Republicanism. He has no more right tt
the Office than Satan has to a seat in para
disc, and the Senate will do itself honor b.
turning him out as early as convenient.

A ST. LOUIS grand jury having, with the

proposes to make them prove their allega-

He Don't Refuse Being Governor Very
Hara-The Federal Government Should
Control Elections.
Mansfield, Ohio, Special Cincinnati Enquirer. ]
IT am surprised eaid he, "that the En-
qulrer should attach SO much Importance
to my visit here to my old home. They seem
to want to make it Sensational, from the way
you correspondents all over the country are
talking about me-
s'Our folks think you are liable to be a
candidate for Governor, Mr.. Secretary, and
want to help you along"
"Well, am not candidate in any sense
of the word, nor will I be. My duties at
Washington would not permit it if we're SO
disposed"
ssCouldn't you be induced to accept the
nomination If it we're rendered to you by
the State convention unanimously!
"There is no likelihood of that taking
place. There is no lack of good men here
in Ohio who can run as candidates for Gov
ernor-men who are competent and want
the place. I don't want it, though it is an
honorable position, of which any one might
feel proud. Still, I have other duties to
perform"
''No one supposes you would seek the
Governors nomination for itself, but for
the further honors that might follow. The
people of this State, or many of them, would
prefer making the canvass on your success
With the finances rather than the old doc
trines of Grantism and 8 return to the
bloody Shirt
To this he made no reply, but directed the
conversation to the action of Congress on
the appropriation bills. Said he:
81 think the Republicans have got the
Democrats in Congress at disadvantage.
They've got to back down in my opinion"
''There we would differ. They must not
back down.
''Tm radical, Mr.. Sherman continued" on
that election question, more than many of my
own party. am in favor of a general law
being passed by Congress to have the federal
government take control of the Congressiona
elections. The States should have nothing
to do in conducting them. The States by
their legislatures elect United States Senators
who represent them. The Congressme1
should be elected by the people, and under
the control of the general government"
Chow would you do that?''
81 would give it into the hands of thu
courts. They should appoint supervisor
and marshals, and have the power, if neoes
sary, to call in the entire army to keep tn
peace at tle polls. Let the States hold thei
local elections as they please, but let tn

SIBERIAN IND THURMAN,

The Washingto On correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer has evolved, evidently
from the depths of his jnuer consciousness,
a series of circumstances that he thinks will
place Sherman and Thurman, the two favor
tie sons of the Buckeye State, in the field as
rival candidates for the office of governor of
Ohio in October next and of President in
1880. He acknowledges that Thurman's
declination of the first named Office was as
emphatic as it was possible for such state
ment to be-, yet he thinks that Sherman's
candidacy for the Office will force him to re-
consider his determination and enter the
field at once. The correspondent seems to
be afflicted with the lunacy that character
ICES most residents of the ''pivotal State"
that upon the result in that commonwealth
depends the fate of the whole country, and
that Ohio will be called upon to furnish the
| candidates of both parties for the Office of
President. AS we have already stated, We
do not attach such great Importance to the
| State as do its over enthusiastic citizens,
nor do we regard her public men as the only
persons who can adorn the high Office.
Nevertheless it is just possibility that the
two most prominent Ohioans will be pitted
against each other in the gubernatorial race.
Such tickets would no doubt cause lively
campaign, and bring out the full strength
of both parties. 1t would be veritable
battle of giants, for each is without doubt
representative, and each possesses larger
personal following than any othe,
man of whom the State can boast
We would be glad to see such
contest. It would attract the iveliest in
terest all over the country, and indirectly in
fuence the nominations for the Presidency
next year. The success of one or the Other
of these candidates would not necessaril,
place him on the road to the White House
but it would determine the question o.
whether Western or an Eastern man, or
hard money or liberal man ought to b
chosen. Sherman's financial views are wei
known, and Thurman is known to entertain
less radical views on the same topic, and
is quite probable that finance would bear
very important part in the canvass.
would be an advantage to have some indica
ton of how the people stand on this ques
ton previous to entering upon a geners
9 campaign, and we see no reason why Obi
should not be made the field of battle 8
0 we'll as any other State. We trust, there
9 fore, that Sherman and Thurman will be til
q opposing candidates in October next, for a
, result of such contest all doubts as [
n the relative strength of the two parties coul
, be set at rest.

The Purse and the SaUOrN.
N. Y. Sun.

Who is it?
It is John Sherman.
We mean it is John Sherman who wants
the purse and the sword united in the hands
of Mr.. Hayes.
They are wanted to be used in the ap-
preaching Presidential election.
Mr.. Hayes would never desire to have
them united for the benefit of Gen. Grant.
He cares nothing for Gen. Grant.
But for Mr.. Sherman Mr.. Hayes cares a
great deal, because he would consider the
election of Mr.. Sherman to succeed him as
popular vote of approval of his own adj
ministration.
Congress has already rendered the purse
to Mr.. Hayes. He Indignantly rejects it,
and says, No, unless it be coupled with the
sword.
This is all done for the benefit of Mr..
John Sherman, who feels confident of being
the Republican candidate.
Are there enough weakened Democrats
in Congress to vote the sword also to Mr..
HAYES If he will not take the purse alone?

A Forgotten Calamity.
New York Times

NEW L OIh LINES
The recent inundation In Hungary,
though on q larger scale, bears re-
sembIance to the terrible calamity that
devastated the Swiss valley or Martignv
half a century ago, which is still re-
mem bered as one of the most formid-
able floods ever witnessed in that part
of Europe. In the spring of 1918, the
Dranse, which flows through the valley,
lessened by degrees till its channel was
perfectly dry. A party sent to recon
noitre found the river completely
blocked by the fall of huge mass of
ice, behind which the rising waters
were drowning tho upland villages one
by one, while the lower ground was left
waterless and parching. TWAS instant
y resolved to avert the threatened out
bust by cutting tunnel through the
ice and running off the water by de-
grees. The execution of this arduous
task was one of the most heroic on
record. For five whole weeks the
indomitable men, with death staring
them in the face, toiled day and night,
IN alternate gangs, the water rising
around them from below, the half
melted ice laundering down upon them
from above, and the danger of sudden
overflow increased with every hour. By
some miscalculation, the two sections
comm enced from opposite sides, had
twenty foot difference of level, which
cost several days additional labor to
rectify. At length the water began to
flow, and the danger seemed over, when
suddenly the base Of the ice barrier, al
ready weakened by the growing heat of
summer, gave way with a terrific crash
and the whole body Of water burst
forth at once, sweeping down the val
ley with the speed of an expr ess train
Its force and volume may be estimated
by the fact that solid bridge, 90 feet
above the ordinary level of the river,
was torn away like thread. Of the
whole town of Martigny, nothing escap-
ed but the ruined castle on it's highest
ridge, the destruction of life and prop
erty being SO great that for the time
being the beautiful valley was an abso-
lutte dessert.

Another Tom-Thumb wedding is to
come off here in few days. It has
been arranged that "the midgets" are to
be married. Lucie Zarate the prospec-
tive bride is Is years old, and weighs a
trihe less than five pounds. Her face is
bright but not proposing. Gen. Mite,
whose real name is Franis J. Flynn,
weighs nine pounds, and is Is years old.
His face is bright and intelligent, and
his conversation does not belle it. The
marriage is one of convenience as we'll
as supposed affection. The dwarfs, be-
longing to different families, are liable
to be separated at any moment, and it
is thought best, therefore, to bind them
by ties that cannot be broken by show
managers and disagreeing parents. The
bride is to wear white satin dress
studded with seed pearls. The BRIDE
groom is to wear his full dress suit.
Miss Zarate belongs to the Episcopal
church, while Gen. Mites family are
Roman Catholics, and it was on the
question of religion that the families
differed. The difference was finally set
tied. The wedding is looked forward
to, week from next Sunday, as a
champion piece of Stiffness.
