Senator. large for life; another.
70 make him Senator from some
State; third, to make him Captain
General of the Army, and still au-
other 10 retire bin on liberal pen
sion. To let bin alone seems to be
the one thing Impossible.
The llfe-Senatorship plan has evil
deutIy fallen through. President
Hayes gave an impetus to the pro.
ject Of restoring bin to the head Of
the army, and the only prominent
man, at least the only Kepn bIican,
to oppose it thus far is Senator
Blaine. He did not want eX Presi-
dents made life-Scuators, and now
he objects to the Captain General
proposition, rnIess the understand
ing be that he shall go ct once upon
the retired list. Evidently the gem
tleman from Maine doesn't want the
great soldier to have any further
active connection with public af-
fairs. We are at loss to conceive
any good reason for this. General
Grant is younger man than Gen.
Sherman. In military matters he is
the foremost man Of all the world,
and that, too, not only in attain
ments, but in real ability. There is
not much for any military man to
do in this country during time Of
peace, but surely General Grant is
emiuently qualified to perform the
duties Of chief officer in the service,
whatever those duties may be.
The Whitaker cadet case brought
to the surface at least one bad fea-
,ure Of the military system. What
ever may pe the facts in regard to
that young mans mutilation, i. Is
obvious that there is pernicious
spirit of caste in the regular army,
beginning at West Point, and which
ought TO be reformed. We all know
that when the late war burst upon
the country, it was found that a
great many officers were traitors at
heart. Sufficient care had not been
taken to iuculcate into their minds
the spirit of national patriotism.
There is reason to fear that the old
leayen is still at work. 1t is i,npor-
taut that the army be Differed by
men OF proper aud positive views
upon the really fundamental tenets
of political faith, Not that the
army officers should be politicians,
but patriots, with all which that
term implies-in sympathy with the
spirit Of our institutions, Including
not only loyalty to the nation, bat
respect for the equal rights of all,
without regard to color. With Gen,
Grant restored to the head Of the
army, subject, OF course, to the con-
stitutionaI provision that the Presi-
dent is er-qfcjo commander-in-
chief, The country would feel ii-
creased confidence, not only in it's
direct efficiency, but in its political
morale -Chicogo JOurnGL.

TWENTY-FIVE years ago when
Captain Stone made Moundyille,
W. Va, his home, he planted two
seeds, informing his family that he
would like to raise wood for his
coffin. DULY one seed sprouted, and
in the course Of thirty years be.
came a fine tree. During a severe
wind storm eighteen months ago
the tree fell. 1t was sent to a Pitts,
burg firm to be cut into lumber,
and in due time returned to the
Captain in the shape Of handsome
coffin; and now to complete the
story, its owner has just been
buried in It.
A CIuNAMAS in Oakland, Cal,

Not doubling but that his love
was reciprocated, he visited tie
house, and was met by the enraged
father of Miss Maly," who sent Il
load Of shot into his face and neck.
Ion see the father was "Christian

TEMPERANCE workers can well
take knowledge of the fact that
Liquors OF all kinds, including wines,
are Of late seldom seen upon the
tables or sideboards at any of the
most fashionable receptions. Cul-
tured people have come to the con-
clusion that wine is not an essen
tial Of hospitality. The Punishment
Of wine from the White House by
Mrs. iIayes--the inverted wine
glass Of General Grant at the great
banqnets that the world has given
him, have been the most etiectual
temperance lectures ever delivered.
No father desires his daughter TO
marry a drunkard, and no mother
but reyolts at the thought that her
son should become one. There is
no mistaking the fact that every day
there is growing larger inquiry
how shall we protect our sons aud
daughters from the legalzcd temp
tations to vice.

Engineers who know something about the
country are interested in the pending surveys
up the Yellowstone-the question being
whether the Northern Pacific can be got out of
the valley without considerable bend south
ward.
The GLOBE suggestion that the Grand Forks
branch of the st. Paul 81 Manitoba may ulti-
mately be put through to the Pacific is ac-
cepted in some quarters more than a sug-
gestion-a prediction. The country north of
the Missouri is known to be more favorable for
railroad building and naturally more fertile
than the country west and south of that river,
and if Uncle Sam could be induced to give a
land grant the road could and would be built
before 1890.
There is an increasing and large inquiry Tor

The Chicago. st. Paul & Omaha company has

emit the operations of each of the roads are
being carried on under its special corporate
name.
SUundings are being taken at Bismarck to as
certain whether there are qulcksands which
would be a serious obstacle to the construction
of railway tunnel under the Missouri river.
If none such exist, it is probable the engineers
will recommend the Northern Pacific manage
ment to construct tunnel instead of trying to
build bridge, which latter would be difficult
and very costly undertaking.

THE OTHER SIDE.
Answer of the A. o U. W. in the Suit of
Mrs. A. G.. Manson.

Answer of the A. o U. w. In the Suit of
Mrs. A. G.. Manson.
The answer to the complaint of Mrs. A. G..
Manson against the Grand Lodge of the An
cient Order United Workmen was served on
Messrs. OBrien & Eller, attorney for the plain.
tiff, yesterday afternoon. 1t will be remem-
bered that suit was commenced few weeks
since by the widow of Albert Ct. Manson to re-
cover 80, 900 on the grounds that at the time of
his death he was member of the order and
that she was entitled to share in the beneficiary
fund. The answer admits that on the 18th
day of October, 1877, Albert G. Manson be-
came member of the organization, but al.
leges that he ceased to be a member on the
26th of September 1878. That on the 1st day
of September, 1878, the recorder of the grand
lodge received notice of the death of one Lara
bee, member of the Blue Earth CITY lodge.
No. "a. The usual assessment was made and
that an assessment notice was issued on Man
son on the 9th day of September. 1878, aud
failing to pay the same his BENEFICIARY certifi-
cate was declared void, and he forfeited all
further claims on the society. The ans wer al
ludes to farther assessment on the 10th day
of October, 1878, which he also refused to pay,
and farther, denies that Manson paid any sum
into the st. Paul lodge after having been sus-
pended.
For the above reasons the defendants ask
judgement against plaintiffs.
