against them, not only IN their coward
ly attack on Secretary Spates, but as
officials and politicians, .
Under the circumstances neither Presi-
dent Hayes nor Secretary Schurz would
insist upon the removal. Those officials
are too highminded and honorable to
permit themselves to become the unwil-
ling tools of an unholy clique. And
when the frauds perpetrated upon them
are fully exposed they win naturally re-
act with the despatch and vigor for
which they are noted. To our thinking,
the president and secretary of the inte-
rior department cannot but withdraw
the new nomination, made, as it has
been, under the influence of the gross
est Misrepresentation. They will not
contribute in the work of crushing an
official whose only crime is popularity
among the people and among all who
have official business with him. The
record of his official actions is unim-
peachable, and hence there can be no
valid reason for his removal. The ten
ure of office and the rules of civil SER
vice afford no authority for removing
an official because of the envy of other
officials and carping politicians.
In going to Washington, Secretary
Spates carries the hearts of the people
with him. Their sympathies and their
prayers are for him. He goes forth as
the only secretary of Wyoming who
ever had the entire %sympathies and en-
dorsement of people and legislature.
Surely, under these circumstances, his
official standing cannot be undermined
to crafty petty spite and jealousy. But
II fall he must, n sacrifice to the worst
passions Of men from whom better
things are expected, Secretary Spates
can solace himself with the assurance
that he has ably and faithfully perform
ed the ddties of his Office, and stands
lofty in the estimation of the people.
His sole offending is his natural power
Of being able to please and hence to be-
come popular. This has attracted
Jealousy; jealousy begot enmity; and en-
nifty begot fraud. The secretary will
ever maintain the brilliant reputation
he has achieved among the progressive
and intelligent people of Wyoming,
whether as secretary Of the territory or
as n Leading citizen thereof.

Watching a Rife Ball,

Three gentlemen, members Of the
Rochester amateur rifle club, on a re-
cent afternoon were in the town Of
Brighton target-shooting. The dis
lance was 800 yards; all three were shoot.
ing Creedmoor-rifes. From the firing
point to the target the ground gradually
assembled, so that a small telescope, but
a good one, firmly fixed to a tree, at a
distance of perhaps thirty feet, made a
fine point for observation. One of the
shooters, while looking through the
glass to mark a shot of one of his COM
panions, exclaimed thai he aw the ball
as 1t sped on its mission. The an
nouncement was received with mere
dulity; but one of the other shooters
went to the glass, and he also saw the
ball almost as it left the gun, and
through its whole flight, nearly the
whole line of its trajectory, until it
struck the target. So interesting and
beautiful was the sight that every shot
was watched by one or other of the
gentlemen; and it is an actual fact that
the point at which the ball would strike
the target could be seen before the ball
struck. 1t was even insisted upon that
the rotary motion of the ball could be
observed

KING PHILIP of Macedon used to say
he captured more cities by managing to
get donkey loaded with gold inside the
walls, than any other way. His army
was serviceable, but his loaded donkey
more 80.
After thus capturing the city, he would
soon squeeze the gold he had paid, cut of
the inhabitants, and be ready for other
operations. Thus it is with corrupt
schemes in the management of public
affairs. These breed corruption and rot
tenness, and tester the whole body, until
the thing becomes diseased and mag
gotty. Turkey is an example of land
in the last stage of disease and dissolu-
tion. And the people Of Great Britain,
Russia, Italy, Germany, &C., are loaded
down and suffering with burdens that
exhaust and will ultimately kill.
The French people were relieved by
the great revolution Of 1889 SO. Oppres.
sive burdens had brought starvation
upon the people, and their suAerings
precipitated revolution, that swept away
the old monarchy and the aristoCraCy;
and their vast estates were confscated
and sold. This is the principal secret of
French prosperity to-day. France does
not suffer from an efete and burdensome
privileged class, as do most other coun'
tries of Europe.

THE Republican party has lost in Zach
Chandler its most resolute leader; man
of forecaste, and resolution, audaCious
and unscrupulous. Hayes undoubtedly
owes the Presidency to him, more than
to any other one man, and in his official
notice of Mr.. Chandler's death, Hayes
should have given him due credit. The
fraud in the White House no doubt feels
the obligation and realizes the loss to
the party in Chandler's death.
The speech Mr.. Chandler made in
Chicago, a few hours before his death,
was probably one of the most bitter,
mean and vindiCtive an unscrupulous
partisan could have made. He stopped
at nothing in statement, that intense
sectional hate and bitter malevolence
could utter. He was sorry there had not
been a general hanging Of the rebel
leaders after the war that this was the
great mistake ofthe Republican party.
In private intercourse, Mr.. Chandler
was whole-souled and generous. This
may be said to his credit as citizen and
as man but as a politician he seems
to haye been destitute of either gener-
osity or decency; and as a partisan
leader, hesitated at nothing necessary to
succeed. The Republican party, at this
time, might have better spared, better
mon

THE LEGAL-TENDER FEATURE
OF THE PAPER MONEY.

The Cleveland Herald calls the green
backs "slush money" and the Cleveland
Leader proposes the legal-tender quality
be abolished, thus to make the green
back, in this respect, the same as the
National Bank currency. The Leader,
however, goes further, and advocates the
entire redemption and destruction Of
the greenbacks, 80 as to let National
Bank currency have the field alone.
All this is doubtless the scheme of the
Republican leaders, and has been. This
is why they want Grant again, an un-
principled and heartless tool of the stock
jobbing, scheming moneyed swindlers.
He served them corruptly and we'll be-
fore, and they think he will again-if
they can count him in.
1t will be seen, then, the plan is to
food the country with paper money that
is not legal-tender. This was the case
formerly, under the swindling State
bank systems, when the people were
viCtimized and plundered every now and
then. 1t would seem that it is similar
state of things the Republican leaders
are now working for. With government,
legal-tender, circulation alone in the
country, these grasping opportunities
would not exist Expansion and con"
traction of the currency would not be
placed in the hands of the selfish and
interested few; and the business, labor
and values of the people would not be
wholly at their mercy.
The hopes of these schemers and plum.
derers rest in eleCting Grant. They
know the character of the man his ut.
ter disregard for constitution, law and
right. His own selfish, degraded nature
rendered him a suitable, willing tool
before, and he is the same creature yet,
and as needy aud greedy as ever. His
administration before was one Of bare.
faced thieving and corruption, and hence
his convenient qualities as a Republican
candidate again.
We shall see what we shall see,-fair
warning.

THERE is a world of thought expressed
in the following sentence taken from
Forney's Progress: Financially and in
dustriously, the pivotal points of move
ments of worldwide Importance con.
tinue to hinge to an increasing degree
upon agricultural products. Nothing
has injured Great Britain 80 much dur.
ing late years as the reduction Of nearly
three hundred millions Of dollars per
annum in the income OF her farmers,
and nothing has rendered greater aid to
recuperation in the United States than
the rapid increase in our staple crops
and the successful attempts to sell enor-
NOUS quantities Of our breadstuffs and
provisions in foreign markets.

most exclusively Of fashionable and fam

srALwART REPUBLICAN, LIES
AND THE COTTON CROP.

AND THE COTTON CROP.
The Nation makes a facetious but
very fair point against Chandler and
other Stalwarts, with the cotton report
for its text. 1t is a point which is worthy
the attention of these gentlemen, and we
hope to hear from them on the subject.
The Nation says;
Mr.. Edward Atkinson has lately been
drawing attention in the Herald to the
enormous size of this years cotton crop,
s,o7A 900 bales, and also to the immense
gain in production of the last ten years
of free labor over any preceding ten
wears. He seems to be greatly pleased
with it. but we may fairly ask him il he
is not mistaken about the size OF the
crop? We allege with confidence, that
if the account his friend Zach" Chand'
Ter gives of the condition of the negro la
borers at the South, and of Southern So
ciety, be true, no such crop has been
raised. No such result can be, or ever
has been, achieved in community such
as Chandler describes. There must be
some mistake in the figures. Laborers
who are being constantly and on great
scale whipped and murdered, and have
to hide a great deal of the time in "the
swamps," according to Mr.. Sherman,
and are frequently burnt out OF their
houses at night, are not and cannot be
in the condition of mind and body to
give SO delicate shrub as the cotton
plant the care which its successful culN
ture requires, To avoid the painful con-
clusion, therefore, that large number
of eminent Republicans are constantly
making untruthful statements on the
stump, we prefer to believe that the last
cotton report is a gigantic rebel lie:

our esteemed Democratic Cotemporaries'
We fear not-in sober truth. Would
that it we're so. Would that the people
and their property were fairly and com
letely relieved from the clutches Of a
power that plays upon and disturbs busl-
ness and values, as it suits their interest
and purposes. 1t ID Initiation to-day and
contraction to.morrow-and vice versa, as
may suit. All this evil ID done through
the fundamentally Of paper money,
Our Greenback circulation was thus
used by the Republican leaders, legislat
ing to depreciate 1t. National Banks
may be used also for this purpose, as in
deed may any institution furnishing the
circulation. This is but history.
The Republican party is committed to
the National banking system, and to the
destruction of the Greenback; and, with
their usual deception, they call this IA
vorlng 'hard money! The fact that the
National Bank currency is not a legal tender,
should make all good citizens pause and
ask: Why is this 80? We are not
aware Of any advocate of this system ex'
planning this little, but important cir
cumstance. OF course, there is reason
for this, one probably insurmountable,
being a Constitutional reason. 1t is not
to be supposed the Republican leaders,
if they could have done 30, would have
neglected this important feature. This
also goes to establish the old Democratic
idea, that the Constitution of the United
States is hard money document. The
only excuse the government can have to
issue its own paper promises, is in an
emergency when compelled to borrow
money. 1t is forced loan but how in
famous it is for an administration to
throw its paper into circulation, and
then refuse to receive it in payment OF

example of their selfish and Infamous
financial management.
The principle of just legislation, is the
safety of the People. To place, then, in
the hands of few men, the control of
the currency; and thus place, at their
mercy, the values, labor and business of
the public, is contrary to every correct
principle of government.
A learned statesman and author Of a
hundred years ago thus happily states it:
at is to the prosperity of the citizen,
"and not to the demands of the creditor
"of the State, that the first and original
obligations of society are due; the
"Clalm of the citizen is prior in time,
paramount in title, superior in equity"
