During the next few weeks the Republican party
is going to do some talking for Itself and the boom
ers will have a chance to learn several things.
The temporary Democratic clatiOn the mis-
taken notion that the calling of the National Con-
vention at Cincinnati had finally killed on rlden
has passed away. and the party IS once more settling
down hOpclessy into acqnIcscence in the fact that
ho has II in his power. What was supposed to be a
funeral merged into brief tussle with the corpse
and ended in victory for the latter There used
to be an e-timabe person in New-England town
who always took charge of tho local funerals. lie
arranged the procession, and called out the mourn
ers and relatives IN the proper order. Ills weakness
was the use OF large words which the same he did
not understand. One Of these was "promiscuOus"
which, in spite of all he could do, would get mixed
up with "pernicious." Il was, therefore. an ordm-
ary occurrence TO hear HIM call at the close of the
funeral services after the family and relations had
been summoned Friends and neighhors vii now

at the periodic lden funeral. only the corpse takes

The Hon. Francis w. Bird is man after rden's
own heart He says: 4" In my Judgment Mr.. TIdeu
represents Just what the country needs and wants
IA well at least as he did in 1876" That is pre-
eisely the way it strikes riden: You are looking
for reformY Here it is." Mr.. Bird adds that he
"knows Of nothing which TIlden has done since
1876 TO forfeit the confidence of the reform ele-
lnents of New-York and of the country" That
seems to be true. There were several things done
ia 1876 that shook the confidence of the country a
trihe but 10 turned out that Peltou was the guilty
person, and the Democracy decided that lllden
was ylndcated. That little million dollar transac-
ton with the elevated railroad stock shook the
confidence of Cyrus w. Field but it strengthened
the confidence OF the Democrats in Tlldens awful
smartness. Ii looks therefore, rs If Alr. Bird were
right llden is as good refOrmer as he was IN
1876 The Republican party Is willing to have
him take the field with that understanding
The position of the gifted Hendricks has been de-
fined in many and different ways but they can all
be summed up in an authoritative announcement

with the fidelity of soldier to his nag, ana
there Is no reason for suppOsiDg that under
similar circumstances they would not follow
the same course again. The South assures
rs. indeed, that the experiment of secession
will not be repeated but the doctrine OF
State sovereignty, in which secession began,
survives in all its original strength, and the
old Confederates hold the same principles to-
day upon which Twiggs justified his treach-
cry and Lee his desertion. There are many
at the South who confess that secession was
a mistake and slavery curse, but you will
not find Confederate soldier In all the land
who does not honor the Lost Cause, and be-
lieve that he did his duty in fighting for it.
Mr.. Thurman is right in saying that the
Northern people wish "to bury the hatred OF
"the warr But they do not wish to forget
the lessons of the war or to undo all that the
war accomplished They cherish no animoslty
toward the men who, from mistaken idea OF
State allegiance. turned against them in the
hour of their need; but if they should now
select these very men, "branded" as they are
by their own principles, to command the Fed
eral armies, they would deserve to be the
laughing stock of the universe.

ness. schools, the law. When Cowley's sheep
we're made able to come into court, to plead
their own cause, the shepherd was left hungry
and moneyless, but the sheep were saved. This
hint will explain in large measure the vehe-
ment protests published lately in the name OF
mythical Cherokees and Others against the
recognition of Indians as human beings in the
eve of the law. The Young Mems party
embraces the civilized. intelligent por-
tions of each tribe, who desire that
their race shall have, at least, the same
chance for freedom and civilization that we
have granted to the negro. 1t includes many
of the chiefs, who are willing to sacrifice per-
sonal power for the advancement of their
people. The Omahas lately deposed all of
their chiefs, that there might be no opposition
to this forward movement.
There is no doubt of the ultimate success OF
this movement. The justice and religious
sense of the people is fully awakened in favor
of it, When it is accomplished, let us remem-
Der that we shall have done no more than
England has done in Canada from the begin
nlng, and that we will have dislodGed the
vast, greedy swarm who now live on the In
dian appropriations. Their opposition is
powerful tricky, and well managed. But
that is to be expected.

RRANNEU.


The Democratic Senators in Washington
have now recorded themselves frankly in
favor of repeating the statute which dis
qualities all persons who belonged to the
military, naval, or civil service OF the Con-
federacy from appointment in the United
States Army. The ordinary way to a com
mission iu the Army lies through West Point,
and as nobody who is young enough to enter
that school can be old enough TO have served
in the rebellion, there is now no obstacle TO
the admission of Southern cadets, on precisely
! the same terms as Others. But this does not
satisfy the Democratic party. They will not
be content until all the barriers have been re-
moved to the reappontment of the officers
who deserted their flag in 1861, fought against
it as long as they could, and now find them
selves out of employment il consequence of
the failure of their treason. Mr.. Thurman
complains that the disqualification of these
persons fixes brand upon them, and lac
thinks it is a manifestation of hatred" to
insist upon leaving it there.
We are well content that the case should
be submitted to the people upon just this
statement of the facts There is no animosity
whatever in the North against the ex-Con-
regarded with kindness which is apt to be
somewhat effusive. But with all our good
will, and even respect, for these gentlemen
personally, we cannot reappont them TO COM
mands i'll our Army without a gross wrong to
the loyal soldiers who have prior claim, and
still greater wrong to the Nation which has
once already been brought to the brink of
destruction by their delinquency at n critical
moment. There cannot be during this genera
ton a vacant place in the United States
Army to which some loyal veteran will not
have earned right by faithful service. There
are thousands of good men who sacrificed fair
prospects to enter the Union Army, and have
never recovered the gIOund they lost Ill busi-
ness while they were fighting for their coun-
try. Whenever there are commissions 10 give
away, these are the first persons to be cOnsid-
cred. The appointments that can justly be
made from civil life are in any case but few
for promotion in our service is slow, and the
faithful officers who have grown gray waiting
for a vacancy are entitled to the advance
when the chance comes When we do step
outside the service for n candidate, let him
be one who has tonight for the Union, not
against it.
But apart from all personal considerations,
it would be criminal to forget that III 1861,
when the Nation wanted the services OF these
gentlemen whom it is now proposed TO i'll
trust with the National defence, they turned
their swords against it. Admitting all that Is
urged in their behalf-the sense Of obligation
to their States, the pressure of public opinion,
etc, etc.-the fact remains that they enter
tanned view of their duty quite Inconsistent
