The Chicago Times, which is Independent
Democratic, has sense enough to understand
the situation, and says:
The party associates of Mr.. Hayes are not 90
ing to bury ''the rebel yell' for the simple rea-
son that this yell rings all through the Bourbon
declamations against the national election law.
The Bourbons oppose not only the existing
law, but all national supervision of national
elections, on the ground that there are no ma
tional elections, and no such thing as nation
In most OF the Bourbon speeches in Congress,
and in every Bourbon platform constructed
since the fight began over this question: this
anti-national doctrine is enunciated. 1t is the
doctrine of State sovereignty and secession. If
the people of this country accept it as true they
admit that the rebel cause was just, and that
the union armies in putting down the rebellion
were guilty of wholesale murder. The ques-
tlon whether we are nation or merely a rope
OF sand, which, as many of us supposed, was
settled when the rebel yell was silenced at Ap-
pomattox, the Bourbons have deliberately re-
opened, and there is no escaping it. If Repub-
hcan representatives are better satisfied with
Hayes than they once were it is because of the
stand he has taken upon this issue-because
he is as stalwart as any of them in combating
the anarchical doctrine of State supremacy
and not because they are any better pleased
than they were two years ago with his taffy
policy

tinguished himself as an economist and finan-
cier. In 1850 he was elected to the Senate.
His reputation had preceded him, and on
Senator Fessenden's appointment as Secre-
tary of the Treasury Senator Sherman sue
ceeded him as Chairman of the Finance
Committee. That position he held, with a
short interval, until he was appointed Sec
retary of the Treasury. From 1869 to 1877.
continuously, he was at the head of the most
important committee of the upper body of
the national legislature. For two years he
has been Secretary of the Treasury, and un-
der his administration of that Department
resumption has been prepared for and
achieved and the vast refunding operations
successfully completed. A record like this
entities him tospeak with authority concern
ing our late financial history, with which he
is identified and much of which he shaped.

1T is To he -Avpeu That the Administration
will give up its plan of appointing second
lieutenants in the army from civil life. If
West Point cannot furnish enough-A4;~0f5
let promotions ba ..1etue fr0m the rank and
file of the regular army. Certainly the nom
commissioned officers, who are acquainted
with the practical duties of the soldier and
have been engaged in active service, are bet
ter material, even if they have not studied
the art of war, out of which to make good
officers than raw civilians can be. And pro-
motion from the ranks would do much to
increase the efficiency of the army.

In the Monday issue of the Kenne6ec
Journal Messrs. Owen and Nash announce
their retirement They have been long con-
nected with the Journal and have done
much and good work upon it. 1t is to be
hoped that they have not permanently re-
tired from journalism. The senior proprie-
tor of the paper, Mr.. Sprague, will hereafter
conduct it with the aid of his son. Under
his management the Journal will continue
to be, as it has been, an able exponent of
Republican principles and the mouthpiece of
the party in Kennebec.

STEWART L. WooDFoRD denies the story
told by John f. Mines that he arranged in
1876 for the defence of New York in case
Tiden seized the Presidency. This Mines
is the same liar who told the cock and-bull
story about Senator Conkling that certain
journals eagerly copied and affected to be-
lieve. Indeed some of them quoted it as
irrefutable testimony.

A TOWN in Indiana, called Monticello,
chose Greenback board of trustees, and
voted to issue 200 of bonds to take the
place of those falling due. The chairman of
the trustees negotiated the bonds, took the
money and absconded. So the town now
owes twice what it did. This shows the
wickedness of bonded debt If the town
had only taken pieces of paper, stamped on
each of them this is dollar" and taken
up the bonds with them it would not have
been swindled. That would have been the
lot of its creditors. As the pieces of paper
would be based on the entire wealth of the
town, much more than S21 900, the credit
ors, if they were good Greenbackers, could
say nothing.

THE very birthplace of Islam is no longer
under Turkish control, and the hVly cities
have ceased to be governed by the Command
er of the Faithful. Arabia is virtually in
dependent of Turkey, and the Ottoman
Pasha has withdrawn. The Porte still as
serts its claims on the country, but the peo-
pie do not recognize them and are ruling
themselves. The caliphate must be nearing
lis end when its authority has ceased in Mo
dena and Mecca.
