In last weeks issue we mentioned the
fact of Hugh Sanderson. the respected
Treasurer of Kandiyohi county, being
prosecuted by the Arctandcr clique. In
the last issue of the Willmar Gazette Mr.
Sanders0n goes for the fellow Arctander
in way the latter must heartily despisc.
Arctander is fully shown up and his dis
graceful career fully exposed, Sanderson
substantiating his assertion by offering to
prove each and every allegation. He says
that Arctander's photographs adorn the
rogues' galleries in Minneapolis and Chica-
go; that he is perjurer, swindler, petit
fogger, shyster and scallawag; and in
brief proves Arctander to be anything but
man. Sanderson's persecution by such
"bloke" establishes his innocence.

HWater" Again,

To The Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: Heavens pure gift to mankind-and
our Potomac water"-tho free gift of Con-
gress to our people. The question naturally
arises upon what principle of law or justice
are they to be charged for its use, and by what
authority do our Commissioners demand pay.
ment for that which Is actually our property?
The Commissioners have no right to make any
such demand. All they can legally exact of
those who use the water-it being their pri-
vate property-is the cost of tho pipes and tho
annual expense of keeping them in repair.
Georgetown has paid for her MAINS and yet
her citizens arc charged for mains laid down
for Washington, principal aud interest, this is
clearly unjust. The true plan would be TO
drop all water bills, except against manu- iactu-
rcrs, and all others who make money by its
use. The cost of maintaining the water dc.
partment cannot exceed $4,000 per annum,
or thirty cents on each 81 900 Of real estate
value in this District. This Is too triiling an
amount TO cause an additional tax, for it would
bo but l.53 per 800, instead of 157, as now.
The taxable real estate property in the Dis.
trct is about Sj,OOO,00O, and 0003 per cent
on it, S25 600, or thirty cents on each 81 ,000
If this additional amount be not lowed it
would only diminish the ability OF the Com
mlssioner%to the extent or $4,000 for street
paving and repairs Let all expenses come out
OF the general fund, and let us have no more
specials" Every citizen, poor and rich,
would have all the water he would need, and
the more of ii used the healthier we would
all he, and we would hear no moro COM
plants about water. The effect of these
EXTRA or special taxes, is to drive capital ava
from the District. A rich stranger recently

this water tax. X.

and civil and political rights of citizens is
logical sequence of this Democratic inva-
sion of State Rights. When the State IS
unable or unwilling to protect its citizens
from Yellow Jack, the Democrats in Con-
gress pass law instructing the President
of the United states to invade the State
with his armies and navies and whole civil
services, and make war on that fell de-
stroyer of State health. When the State
is unable or unwilling to protect its citizens
in their lives, property, civil and political
rights, then, TO be consistent, the Demo-
sion of the delinquent or eiiete State, by
the Federal, civil and military forces for
the protection ofthe citizens of the State in
these rights. Republican Nationalists must
look to their laurels or they will fade be-
fore this terrible onslaught of the DEM
Gratis on State Rights.
1t will not do to argue that Yellow Jack
is q foreigner brought into the State, and
that Congress has, therefore, under the Con-
stitution, q right to control him in the State
by virtue of its right to regulate foreign and
interstate commerce; because such con-
struction of the Constitution would necessa-
rily admit the right Of Congress to control
any other naturalized citizen in q State !;
and TO further admit that if such natural
lied citizen were evilly disposed towards the
other citizens of the State or endangered
their health, the national authority could
therefore be invoked, under the right TO reg
ulate commerce. TO fumigate and extermi-
nate within the State the offensive citizen
of foreign birth, with whom heretofore it
was and is claimed by the Democrats-only
State laws could properly deal under our
Constitution.
The action oil Congress plainly shows that
Democrats of that body have no principle
in treating the theory of State Rights when
itcomes to n question of political or sectional
advantage. If they can by State Rights dis
franchise Republicans or stuff ballot-boxes,
then State Rights must be maintained rs

He has recently submitted TO an interview,
the substance of which, relating to his re-
collections of the rebellion and his impress
sions of the men who were prominent in the
contest on both sides has found its way into
print. He admits that he knew almost
the South was destined to prove fail
ure; but that he fought on pa
tiently, steadily, and uncomplaningly,
for the reason that he had given his es-
pousal to it. In the course of his interview
he INDUCED in generous criticisms of those
who were prominent in the struggle OH
each side. In referring to General JOE
Johnston, he expresses the opinion that
he was the greatest soldier the Confederacy
produced but he never had the opportuni-
ties accorded to others. His power as
tactician and commander was wonderful,
and the South never produced his equal for
handling an army or conducting cam
paign. GRANT was incomparably the
greatest of the Union generals and under
stood the terrible power of concentration
and persistency. MCCLELLAN never rose
above the average conclusions of his coun-
ellis, but GRANT was great. These views of
an ex-Confederate general are very differ
ent from those held by number oil
those with whom he fought. LoNGsTREEI
gives proper credit to the spirit and
valor of the Southern troops, but he doe.
| not think that one of them could an.
nihiate five Northern men. Both sides he
says, were inspired by the loftiest scnti-
ments, which nerved them for deeds OF
glory 1t is needless TO add that this franl;
expression of his views will not be likely to
intensity the little love now held for Cen
eral LoNGsTREET in the South. He does
not eat fire enough for the chivalry, al
though he was great fighter in the war.
1t is evident that General LoNGsTREEi
has become so thoroughly reconstructed
that he can review the war and those en-
gagged in that sanguinary struggle witt
candor, fairness and sense of justice. II,

EACH successive day increases the disa-
grcemcnt which exists between the South
ern and Northern wings of the Democratic
party, and witnesses some fresh complaint
that each is tied to the tail of the others
kite. Indiana, for example, is known as
the tail-piece of the Solid South and is
abused therefor, while the Vicksburg
Herald, and other kindred journals, COM
plain that the great blunder of the extra
session was the blind following of the North
ern Democrats by their Southern colleagues.
But there is no danger of this disagreement
being widened into u breach. These inter-
partisan sectionalists may quarrel and
wrangle ever so much among themselves,
but when the time comes TO present n full
front to their opponents every straggler will
be found in his place in the ranks. This is
the excellent partisan discipline which will
enable TILDEN to repeat his ST. Louis grip
upon his party next year. The growls at
him, North and South, are, in fact, the best
indications of his ultimate success.
