THE SOUTHERN QUESTION.
A Letter From William E. Chan
der.
A Republican Victory Fnl $.
Sured.

CONCORD, N. H., Dec. 31-The Monitor publishes
onight letter from VIM. E. Chandler in which he
discusses the Southern question and congratuates
the radical Republicans upon the fact that the pub
lie conscience Of the North which under the baneful
paralysis of the Hayes surrender to political MUIR
derers had seemed dead, is alive again. In speaking
of the determination of the Republicans to the
principles of free speech, free election and equal
rights he says: "On such issues fought in the old
spirit which till March 4th, 1877, Inspired the Re
publican army, New York, Connecticut and New
Jersey will be as surely Republican as New Hamp-
shirr, Massachusetts or Kansas and no Northern
State Except possibly Iudana) will will be missing
from the triumphant radical column of November.
1885,"
Speaking of a class at the North which he char
acterizes dougbfaces he says: Republican dough-
faces seemed to go out of existence when the rebel
guns were fired at Sumter, and il was hoped the
species was extinct but in 1877 he revived and now
often lifts his head to distract counsel and parasze
action He is to be found in the editorial room IL
belling radicals and sneering at sacred sentiment,
and at conventions advocating the nomination of
unkeys, in Congress counting rebel generals in the
Cabinet cuonciating confederateswith petty patron
age and even crouching and canting in the White
House. Although such doughiaces exist normally
within the party further Repub can success depend
upon not heading their cowardice being diverted
nor hindered by their treacheries. They did not
though they tried protect extend slavery defeat
emancipation nor ma MOOD suffrage, and they will
not prevent Republican victory in 1890, but viii
when it is achieved shout the loudest and again turn
its fruits into. ashes.

INDIAN TERRITORY
Recommendation for Hts etter Govern

Recommendation for Hts etter Govern
ment
WASHINGTON, Dec 3l.-Sen rors Patterson, Gar
land and Grover, in behalf of the Senate Commit
tee Territories have condu cted the inquory into
the condition of affairs in the Indian territory by
taking testimony in Washington during the recess
Congress, will be ready next week to report to the
full committee. They have agreed to recommend
the enactment of the following legislation by Con-
gIess:
First For the establishment of United States
inal and civil jurisdiction.
Second That all Indians comprising the 'sFive
Nations" shall be made citizens of the United States
amenable to the laws anu competent to serve on
juries in the United States.
Third-That lands now held in common shall be
divided and held in severalty but inalenable for
limited term OF years.
The sub committee do not at present recommend
the establishment by Congress of regular terrltor-
ia government for these Indians but provide merely
that they be entitled to representation by delegate
The subcommittee will probably dvise the inser-
ton in the proposed bill of proviso that the condi-
tional land grants which various railroad companies
desiring the settlement OF this territory have an
nounced themselves willing to relinquisb, shall be
formally reinquished.
The recommendations Of the subcommittee will
probably be endorsed by majority OF the full com.
mittee but the entire project of legislation is sren-
uousy opposed by the authorized legal representa-
tives of the Five Indian Nations.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-The viceroy of India reports

upon their land because thereby they would
gain residence in the parish aud be burden
upon it when their working days are passed.
But there is another active and powerful
cause of the poverty of English workpe0ple
and the dreadful depression in trade. The
policy of the government in relation to the
liquor traffic has destroyed q large part
Of the home market for the products
of British industry The government
has studiously and industriously put every
possible inducement and temptation IN
the way of the workpeople to spend their wages
for drink So that they have nothing of them
remaining, with which to buy anything in the
way of food and clothing, except OF the poorest
and cheapest and in the smallest possible guam
titles.
While the general business of the country
has been and is in state of distressing stagna-
ton, the drink trade has been constantly in
creasing in volume and power until now 1t con-
trolls the government of the country. In Fog
land the present Parliament is generally spok-
en- of as the ''Bupg Parliament" as that OF the
"Roundheads" was called the "Rump Parlia-
ment" The present government was put INTO
power by the liquor sellers and their customers,
and one of Its first acts was to increase the OPP
portunites and facilities for the work-people to
drink more aad drink earlier in the day and
later into the night. The government made il
government measure to extend far into the
night the hours for keeping the grog shop,
omen, and to open them earlier in the morning
bour in them before going to work. And the
government provided also for special grog-
shops on all special occasions, such as agricul-
tural fairs, military reunions, church fairs, or
church conventions, or other assemblsges of the
people of whatever sort. The result has been
an expenditure in drink the last year, mostly
by the work-psople, of e15O 100000, equal to
$750,0O0,OO0, while the expenditure In thi'
country in that way is $7OO,O00,O 900 with 5000.
600 more people; and this sum includes thu
vast quantity of reotifed whiskey exported
mostly to France, for the manufacture o
French brandy, wines, and liquors.
The drink shops of England absorb the money
OF the work people SO that they have little OF
none left with which to purchase the products
OF English looms and mills for the daily wants
of comfortable life. The legitimate indus
tries of the country lauguish and die, while the
liquor traffic seems to bs fastened upon ths
nation like an enormous aud hideous ulcer
