AN AGGRESSIVE WARFARE.

Determined Upon by the Republican Ca,l-
Gus on Saturday 4Dainst the Political
amendments.
Washington Special april 12) to Chicago
Tribune.
The Republican Senators had caucus to-
day which lasted two hours. After thorough
discussion of the situation, during which
nearly every Senator participated in the de-
bate, the conclusion was reached that the
Senators would unitedly urge an aggressive
warfare against the political amendments to
the appropriation bill in the line marked out
by Secretary Robson in his speech. The
caucus unanimously agreed to disregard the
position assumed by Gen. Garfield that the
legislation could be accepted if presented as
separate measure. They held, on the con-
trary, that if the legislation on its merits
could be acceptable it would not be revolu-
tionary to pass it on an appropriation bill.
They decided rather that the proper consti-
tutional ground to maintain was that out

We do not blame the Republican papers
for trying to turn the exodus of negroes
from the South to political account, but
while they do SO they might pay little heed
to the truth. They can gain nothing, how
ever, by giving currency to such gross mis-
representations as those that are every day
appearing in their columns. They charge
the Southern people en- masse with the cruel
est treatment of the colored men, including
whippings, torturings and even downright
murder and midnight assassination. These
statements are SO manifestly untrue that
they are bound to react upon those who use
them. The truth is that the emigration of
the negroes to Kansas has no political signif-
canoe, and is not due to cruelty or abuse
visited upon them. It is simply blind,
unreasoning flight, inspired by nothing tan
gible. Those who participate in it can give
no reason for their conduct any more than
the different members of flock of sheep
can give reason for following the bell
wether when she leaps ditch or fence.

AN investigation by the legislature OF IL
inois demonstrates the fact that the treasur-
or of Cook county used rare discrimination
in the selection of a newspaper to print the
delinquent tax list. He refused the offer of
the Chicago Tribune of bonus of fourteen
thousand dollars, and gave the job to the
Journal, but the managers of that sheet
have forgotten whether they paid bonus or
not. All they are willing to swear to is that
they published the list, but what they re-
ceived for it or what they paid to the treas
urer, if anything, they cannot remember.

fools as they would have the public believe

titled, would give the election to Curtin. Be-
sides this it has been shown by incontestible
proofs that large number of illegal votes
were cast for Yocum which OF themselves
would invaidate his election.
Another contest is that of McCabe vs.. Orth,
in which the latter holds a seat by virtue of q
plurality of ninety-eight. In this case also
there was an error in the count and large
number of illegal votes cast for the Republl-
can candidate. These two cases will come
up early. and as the evidence is conclusive
in each, decision can be easily arrived at.
That the decision will be favorable to the
Democratic contestants there can be but lit
tie doubt, for no other verdict could be ar
rived at in view of the facts. But even if the
decision is as indicated, there is no cause for
alarm, for in other contests there is just as
strong evidence, or nearly so, on the other
side.
This thing of impugning the honesty of q
man or set of men before they have done
anything to merit that condemnation is alto
gether too common among our newspaper
brethren. An editor should hesitate long
before charging dishonorable intent upon a
public man in the face OF a long career OF
honorable service. Mr.. Springer and those
associated with him on the committee on
privileges and elections are gentlemen who
have achieved high distinction in Congress
and in other official positions, and to con-
denim them as dishonest before they have
committed a dishonest act Is an In
justice of which no newspaper pretending to
be respectable ought to be guilty. The accu-
sation is apparently dictated by guilty con,
science. The Republicans know that when
they we're in the majority they exercised the
privilege accorded them under the rules
without regard to whether the candidates
were elected or not, and admitted Republi
cans and turned out Democrats simply TO,
partisan ends. They fear the Democrats
will follow the precedents set them now tina
they control a majority in both houses, bu
are rather hasty in their conclusions. Th'
advice of the father to his son, "never holle
before you are hurt" is appropriate in thl
emergency.

The Oldest Mason has died again-this
the ghost about once every two weeks, and
his obituary is published. But no sooner is
he decently inferred than he dies again, and
the same programme has to be gone through
with. We would entreat the Oldest Mason
to give US rest. He is becoming greater
nuisance than the Oldest inhabitant, and
everybody knows he is sufficient affliction
to any community. If the Oldest Mason will
promise not to die for six months, we guar
antee that he will receive the best obituary
notice we are capable of constructing; but il
he persists and continues to persist in dying
every few days, We will cut his acquaintance
in short order.

suit against Kalamazoo paper for libel, and
the court rendered the following decision:

Grass Lake." (plaintif was clergyman must
be taken as involving charge of criminal

This is the first judicial decision which

charge to compare man to Beecher.

BINDS THE HANDS OF THE PRESIDENT
of the United States, cripples the civil power,
and prevents the executive, or the courts, or
the marshals, or any civil posse, or any body
af armed men in the execution of Justice, to
ppear at the polls. This, the Republicans
will maintain, is a violation of the constitu-
ton, and of the fundamental principles of
civil liberty, and cannot be tolerated. AS an
abstract proposition they would not approve
the political amendments in a separate bill,
much less when they consent to their adop-
ton as amendments to the appropriation
bills. Every Senator is to be left free to fol-
low.
HIS OWN INDIVIDUAL PLAN OF ATTACK
within this limit. 1t is the intention of the
Republican Senators to present united
front, so that if there is any tendency to
irresolution on the part of the executive OF
any of his cabinet counselors, the Republi-
can party in Congress is unit.
1t is certain that there were some fears ex-
pressed in the caucus that the President
might approve the army bill, and that Score
taries Schurz and Evarts and Attorney Gen
eral Deyens might counsel such course, Blu,
the general opinion was that the President
would stand firm. At all events, whatever
the President might do, the Republican
Senators determined for their part to resist
to the very last extremity the passage of this
political legislation. This augurs protract
ed discussion and long session.

The Lumber Trude.

e. w. Durant, of the firm of Durant,
Wheeler & Co.. returned Sunday from his
down river trip. We wisely refrained from
interviewing him Sunday, being informed
that he was a devout Christian and a strict
observer of the Lords day, and that he
wears a No. 10 boot. Mr.. Durant informed
us yesterday that the lumber trade from dis
tributing points along the Mississippi is un
usually large, while the stock on hand does
not exceed one-third of the amount usually
on hand at this season of the year. Prices
are at least So below the prices obtained in
March last year. But very few of the mills
along the river are now running, owing. to
the scarcity of logs. The mill owners are
awaiting the opening of the booms at La
Crosse and Beef slough in order to obtain a
supply of logs.
The present stage of water on the Black,
Chippewa and Mississippi rivers is very low,
and will not admit of driving or handling
logs at the booms on any of the streams
tributary to the Mississippi.
Mr. Durant further says that the pres
ent outlook justifes the expectation
that the lumber trade of the Mississippi will
exceed that of any former year, but at ex-
tremely low prices.
During his absence Mr.. Durant disposed
of logs to the following parties:
