THE utter incompetency of the demo-

very apparent in its narrow, provincial and
partisan treatment of all that relates to the

the rural minds who dominate in the house
that subject is far removed from any con-
nection with partisan politics-if it involves
any consideration Of justice or liberality to
the army it must be treated us if it was n

they dodge; if there happens to be some
apprehension OF its real merits they post
pone it in order 10 plan for a partisan
advantage from il. 1t is thus they
have dealt for whole session with
the Ute business, and in fact with
the entire Indian question. Appropria-
tions have been pared down or denied in the
true spirit of the miser who loses pound
