The CZAR AND KEARNEY.-The
Gar might learn thing or two from
Denis Kearney. Denis proclaims
that he is about to he assassinated,
and leaves a list of bloated aristo-
Gratis who are to be assassinated in re.
turn. This spoils the whole Job. If
the Gar only had the brains of Denis
things would be different in Russia.
And if Denis only had the brains of
the Gar, there would not be so much
noise in San Francisco. Both par.
ties would make by the exchange.
The Gar would be fortunate if, like
Denis. he didn't have any brains,
and there would be one less blather-,
skite in San Francisco, if Denis had
the Cars brains. The world is very.
much agitated over the danger to
Denis and the Gar. All the world
but Denis is troubled about the Gar,
and the rest of it is troubled about
Denis. 4NihCdakee Sentinel.

An Episode at Bloomington.

Thursday night three drunken and
disorderly men broke windows in
several houses. They finally raided
upon the house of a widow woman
who beat them off with a poker and
had them arraigned the next day
before Squire Warwick, who held
one of them in the sum of $500 for
court. The constable stood at the
depot Friday waiting for the Oak
land train. In the meanwhile a
freight train was going east. The
prisoner escaped from the constable
and sprang on board Of this train,
leaving the officer in the lurch.-

There are SOC, 1000, 900 acres of land
in the arid region of this coul try, all
of which belong to the government,
and it is proposed to make a part of
this vast area fertile by L,eans of ar
teslan wells. Not more than three
per cent. Of it can be utilized practi-
cally. In Colorado alone are 40, 00O,-
600 acres capable of producing from
twenty-five to thirty bushels of wheat
per acre ii irrigated. The people of
the West desire Congress to appro-
pirate $4,000 for boring artesian
wells, the land being the property of
the government. Private enterprise
will not undertake the experiment,
but let the practicability of irrigation
by artesian wells once be established
and private purchasers will be found
who will carry on the work of boring
at their own expense. Some Of the
ablest biologists in the country have
expressed the opinion that flowing
wells can be obtained in many local.
tiles on the plains east and west of
the Rocky Mountains, and the Com
missioner of Agriculture, under
whose auspices special attention has
been given to the subject, has recon-.
mended that artesian wells be sunk.

the American wing of the Salvation
Army has come TO this country for
the protested PURPOSE of routing Sa-
tan and his followers. who are SUP
posed to have many strongholds
nero. The present organization is
the outgrowth of the efforts of Rev.
VIM. Booths Methodist minister. be-
gun fourteen years ago in the streets
of London. He was appalled, by
Heather England" and determined
to do something for the regeneration
of the lower classes, whom the efforts
of the laborers for Christ in the
churches did not seem to reach. He
was aided by his wife, and their ear
nest efforts soon gathered about them
a little band of workers, who went
steadily ahead i'll the course marked
out by their leader. The name of
the organization was selected in the
following manner: There was much
talk at the time of a general arma-
ment. One of the workers said 1--WE
are volunteer army" "No," re-
piled the leader, 1--WE are a salvation
Z N.Y." And from that the name
grew. They organized themselves as
sn army, Mr.. Booth taking the rank
@ General, and being assisted by
sub commanders, lieutenants, &c.
They went forth to conquer, land we've
Victorious in nearly all their cam
paigns.
Their work progressed steadily,
their ranks were filled up with vol
unteers, and at the close of last year
they had enlisted 122 corps, which
were commanded by 1876 officers. In
their weekly service they used 148
theatres, music halls and other build
ings. Last year they held 45, 900 open
air services, and $4,000 indoor SER
vices. The active members employ
ed as officers, ministers, missionaries,
Bible women, ETC., amounted to 257,
and over 5000 others were ready at
any time to enter the service. The
work. it ii claimed, is in no way Sec
tartan, although, as to devotion and
principles, it conforms nearly to those
of the early Methodists. The seryi-
ces consist of a relation of experience,
There are no preachers, but each
convert is called upon to tell his own
experience. Their songs consist of
new words arranged for some of the
most stirring of the popular tunes,
ancient and modern. Some of the
Moody and Sankey tunes are pressed
into service, and in fact, any good
melody that seems to suit their pur-
poses.
Last year the army made success
full campaigns in England and Wales,
particularly in South Wales, Corn
wall, Lancashire, and among the col
lieries of Option, Wellington, Kings
wood, and Wednesday,. After these
victories at home it was determined
to send portion of the army across
the sea to conquer the heather lands
of America, and an order was issued
from the headquarters at White
chapel, London, directing Gen. Rail-
ton. with an efficient force of seven
women, to move upon the United
States. He accordingly embarked
with his little band, and after pros.
porous voyage effected landing at
Castle Garden, where religious servi-
ces were held Immediately upon
landing.

Elk Governor Garcelon's testimony
before committee of the Maine leg
islature is not calculated to enhance
that gentleman's reputation for hon
esty and integrity of character. Civ
ing him the full benefit of his state
ment, that he was ignorant of the
Infamous frauds of his council, he Is,
nevertheless, convicted of criminal
neglect of his official duties. The
Governors action was of the most
radical character, such as no upright
officer would take, unless he was
thoroughly convinced of the righte~
business of his course, yet he now adj
mits that he relied entirely on the
statements of his council, and made
no examination into the facts him
self. In other words, he aided and
ahetted a gang of thieves without
troubling himself about their char
acter. Either he was a weak fool or
an accomplished villain.

centralized oligarchy

! 5.a ems OF g centralized oligarchy
a eyentful despotism. 1t may,
perhaps, reassure persons who have
been frightened by these sinister
forecasts of the future to remind
them that ever since the foundation
of the government the political party
whose theories were contradicted by
the courts decisions has given utter
ance to similar forebodings. Thomas
Jefferson. with others of the extreme
radicals of his day, denounced the
court altogether as a contrivanee of
men whose ideas tended i'll the dlrec.
ton of an American monarchy. To
come down to later days, people not
past middle age will recall the indig-
nation of the anti slavery party when
Chief Justice fancy promulgated the
bred Scott decision. Afterwards the
Court was visited by the harsh criti-
cism of many patriotic Northerners
because it held, in the MiIligan and
McArdle cases. that citizens could
not be tried by court martial; and
the two opinions in which it first de-
MED the constitutionality of the Lee
gal Tender act and subsequently
affirmed the authority of the gov
ern ment to issue the greenbacks as a
part of the war power, led to much
agitation and caustic comment.
Many Republicans were wofully dis
appointed when Judge Bradley upset
the Force bill and was sustained by
his colleagues. In fact, instances
could be multiplied in which the de-
feated party to cause has aspersed
the motives and judgment of the
highest tribunal III the land. Wheth-
er the public think Of these things or
not, the judges are familiar with the
history of the past and know that
they are only passing through the
same ordeal as their predecessors.
Nor need they be afflicted by the i'm
putation of partisanism. The op-
posing political parties represent an
tagOnistic schools with regard to the
constituting of certain provisions of
the Constitution. The judges selected
from each party are, of COURSE, tine
tured with its view of the disputed
sections of the fundamental law, and
they naturally give play to their
prepossessions from the bench. This
is not partisanship in the offensive
sense of the word if is merely an
enforcement of the constitutional
theories in which man has been in
doctrinaled. 1t is open to all citizens
to question the soundness of the judg-
ment and political organization
may attempt the repeal, with the
consent of a majority of voters, of
legislation whose prOpriety the court
sustains. But it is absurd to write
or talk of the court as an enemy of
free institutions because it has seen
fit in it's wisdom to differ from any
class of theorists. 1t is apparent that
the court speaks for the mass of in
telligent Americans in bearing heav-
lily down upon the notions of states
rights extremists, and if the latter
d ubt it, thew have their right of
appeal at the polls. -BaHo. american.

Flirting with Each Other-Ans Alleged
Agreement Between Them.
CAlcAGo, June5 The Ersning Journal,
an anti.Grant paper, says tonight:
Whenever people see Senator Conkling
and General ButterworLh, Of Ohio, hold
ing frequent and earnest conferences on
the floor Of the convention, they begin 10
suspect that the Grant men are flirting
with Sherman, aud that some OF the Sher-
man men are flirting with the Grant.
One result OF these conferences was the
splitting OF the Ohio vote, 30 that nearly
one-half OF the votes were cast against the
admission OF the Illinois contestants In
spite OF the fact that General Garfield
made an eloquent appeal yesterday in
favor OF the right OF district representa-
ton which was understood 10 be the posi-
ton OF Sherman on the same question.
The Ohio delegation seem to be divided
one part apparently leaning toward Gen.
Grant, hoping TO aid Sherman or their own
interests in some way, while the other,
led by Gen. Garfield, Is standing up Tor
the right OF district representation, regard
less OF the effect their action may have on
Sherman 3 candidacy.
1t is rumored that the Grant men have
offered the Sherman men, represented by
General Butterworth, that II Grant is
nominated and elected Sherman eau con-
tinue In the office OF Secretary lor an.
other term OF four years, aud IL at the end
Of four years Grant does not want fourth
term, Sherman may become candidate
ior the Presidency. Whether this plleged
bargain can be contaminated remains to
be seen. 1t is difficult to believe that the
Sherman men, many OF whom have claim-.
ed that Grant could not carry Ohio, would
be so reckless as to enter into any such
agreement. II the agreement has been
made, permanent split in the Ohio dele
CATION may follow, and General Garfield
may become more conspicuous than he
has been, and his devotion to the right oi
district nomination may rally around him
a majority OF the convention and make
him the candidate for the Presidency.

THE AXrI.Cni>EsE PLANK.


| comments OF tne bAn Francisco FFfhhs !
SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.-Commentingl
on the anti.C Chinese plank incorporated in
the report OF the Committee on Platform
Of the Chicago convention, the Call, after
uoting resolutions which Pacific coast del-'
egates proposed, says "This plank,
which the convention thought to be radi-i
cal, does not meet the emergency. 1m in
sertion in the platform would not bind
the party to any action except such as can
be taken with the consent OF the Chinese
government. 1t recognizes the evils of
existing treaties, but does not say what
should be done Il the Chinese government
ment refuses to nulliiv the treaty article"
1t then quotes the plank as adopted by
the convention and continues: "lt this
Is the best the Chicago convention can do
for the Pacific coast II may save itself the
trouble OF doing anything. A successful
campaign can be conducted on this reso-
luton only in the event OF there being no
better"
rhe Chronicle says: II in the California
resolution there is nothing rank in this,
and it Is matter thatthe temper OF the
peooie OF the Pacific coast on the subject,
and less spirited that the plank reported
yesterday by the full committee report 80 /,
far as 1t relates to this particular subject,
is fully up to the wish OF the citizen pop-e
ulation OF California, which Is saying o
good deal, since the vote Of this State at
it's general election declared l92 tu l, or
I50 040 TO 500 in favor OF rigid restrictionsen
Chinese immigration hither, and modifca-
tion OF existing laws and treaties TO that
end.
This vote actually represents the senti-
ments OF every PacifcState and Territory,
and the contempt OF it manifested by the
National P ,litical Convention 8 will surely
be resented at the polls in November by
Oregon and Nevada, as well as California,
The party that Supports the spirit OF the
Payne resolution with the most vigor and {
sincerity is the winning party oi the
present and future years from the straits
OF Fuca 10 the Gulfo California, aud from

The Bulletin this afternoon will say, the
second phase which the plank in Ie'ation
to the Chinese had been made IN assume
Is more than Objectionable than the first. .
II reduces the objection TO Chinese TO q
single one, that they do not become
citizens. No other Interpretation can be (
placed on the language Of the resolution. !

ton the Republican party, under this {
plank, would be bound to take no further
steps against them. This must not be- re-

to hoodwink the people OF the Pacific
States to their face. Thearticle thengoeson

Special to the iucInnatI Commercial.
CmcAdo, June 5.-It appears to me that
the Grant men cannot muster more than
2s5 votes; that Blaine will have over 800;
Sherman something over 100; Elmunls,
washburne, and Window, the remainder.
The Blaine men claim 32O on the irst bal
lot 1t seems impossible that Grant can
gain dozen votes in any contingency
over his present holding, and the only
way his supporters can prevent the nomi-
nation Of Blaine is TO 60 over 70 sherman.
This think they, will do when the pinch
comes. lila possible that they may prefer
Edmpnds;. but the fact that their votes
unitedyto those OF Edmnnds would be in.
insufficient makes II more probable that
that they would choose Shermsn.

It Is not impossible that he may again put
in an appearance.
Eugene Hale says that there will be
nomination by 8 o'clock tomorrow, bul
the general impression is otherwise. All
depends on the stubbornness with which
Grants and Blaine's friends hang to
them.
There is good deal Of Washbnrne
undertone aaoat in the conversation oil
delegates. J. G. New said tonight, that
e5 per cent of the Republicans OF Indiana
were Washburne at heart. There is a
Washburne neucleus in the Pennsylvania
delegation.
At no time since the convention assem-
bled, is the final result more uncertain
than tonight.
New claims 200 votes for Grant.
Blaine's friends claim 800 at least.
The three dissenting West Virginia del.
egates continue to be the recipients oil
any amount Of congratulations from dele
gates and visitors. Senator Hoar, the
President OF the convention, says that the
only time the Massachusetts, delegation
cast their vote wrong was when they did
not cast 1t on the same side.
