fear Of that, but we throw In few
intercalary observations, to borrow
an astronomical term.
Neither the United States nor
the world ever produced a more in
corruptible man than Andrew
Johnson. When this tribune Of
the people was Military Governor
Of Tennessee, 100000 Of Secret
Service money was placed In his
bands. During his whole incum-
bency of that office he only expend-
ed $4,000, certifying back to the
treasury $S5,0OO, with vouchers
for the rIghtful expenditure'of the
SIS, 600. That fact alone showed
that johnson wasn't q good Re-
publican, and that he would soon
be at outs with the Republican
party. A man who had an
opportunity to steal $4,000,
and who yet certified 1t back to the
treasury Of the United States, was
no Republican in heart, spirit or
act. His subsequent impeachment
is explained by this fact alone. The
Republican party could not stand
an honest man in the White
House, and the impeachment OF
Andrew johnson followed. The
American people could not stand the
impeachment of an honest Presi.
dent, and its failure followed, as O
matter Of course.
The Republican party originally
nominated Andrew johnson be.
cause he was Democrat. The In.
famous crime of John Wilkes
Booth made him President. He
remained q De mocrat. He never,
for . moment, tried to forget or tC
surrender his Democracy. He
faithfully tried to carry out Abra'
ham Lineoln's programme. The
Republican party, which lies and
calls it progress. could not capture
the robust and splendid Johnson
It was looking around for too
and 1t found 1t in the vuIgariar
Grant. The Union League Clut
| Of New York bought carriage and
four and tried TO present it te
johnson. He declined 10 receive
1t, In a memorable letter which
might have been written by George
| Washington. That organization
dropped Johnson at once, and tool
to Grant. From that time forward
not even bull pup has been de
clined, when the express charges
were prepaid.
Such is the world, but the worll
has Its whirligigs. The American
people are sick Of Grant and hi
companions, and this poor vulga
rian don't know it. Even his Oh
tuse intelligence will shortly re
ceive an electric shock, which will
awaken him to the fact that bag
gage should take to the rear, t
employ an expressive phrase of tn
mother of the great Mirabeau.

tetts, and the National Mexican
Railway Construction Company, a
corporation made up of the Sulli-
van-Palmer party, which has
hitherto been connected with the
Denver & Rio Grande Rail-
way. The Mexican Central Compa-
ny is building a line from the
City of Mexico northward to the
City of Leon, 262 miles. About So
miles, from Ssdaya to Salamanca,

There can be no question Of one
fAct, and that is that Ulysses Slmp

most contemplate demagogue on
the American continent. This
man, who had dignity which the
hundreds OF thousands who were
Slaughtered under his command
gave to him, has a very pltiful
comprehension Of the limits of

In political conflicts, unless, like

Instincts. In the history Of consti-
tutfonal government there have
been two conspicuous representa-
lives of the military idea. We say
this because Jackson was essential

been Marlborough and the Iron
Duke Of Wellington.
The history of both of these pure.

very instructive. Marlborough,
out of whom fifty Grants could
have been carved without m issing
anything, lived to see his name

Marlborough was against great

AS the election approaches the
interest centers more and more
around the Hoosier state. Demo.
Gratis have to submit to the dis
couraging sIguificance of the facts
that in that State the Republicans
have all the money and have, be-
sides, the control of the entire col.
onizing machinery. They have
been coloniziDg Indiana during
the past three years, largely by
negroes from the South, and they
have ten dollars for one that can
be commanded by the Democrats.
II Lsnders shall triumph in spite
of all these drawbacks, Garfield
will simply be able to count up the
electoral votes of Vermont. Massa-
chusetts, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska
and Michigan, with chance for
Wisconsin and Minnesota. Should
the Republicans, however, succeed
in carrying both Indiana and
Ohio in the October. elections,
Hancock will nevertheless have
the 1873 electoral votes of the Solid
South, with the 35 of New York,
the eight of Now Jersey and the
six of Connecticut-two more than
he requires-to say nothing of Cal.
ifornia and the other States of the

he is certain to carry. Hancock
does not need Indiana. On the
other hand, without Indiana, the

The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1880-01-29

In late speech by Congressman Cox on
appropriations for internal improvements
he gave list of appropriations made by
congress tor rivers and harbors in West
Virginia, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota from the forty-frst to the
forty-fifth congress inclusive. The total
amounts of appropriations made for the
time mentioned is $54, 96S, 217, of which
Wisconsin received $3,510,0O0. Of that
sum the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers re-
ceived s., 025, 900, leaving O comparative
~ Insignificant portion for the harbors
near-Tw as much has been expended
on the Fox and Wisconsin during that
time than in all the other public i'm
provements in the state conducted by
the general government. Gov. Smith
urges the Legislature to take steps to in
duce congress to push on this work more
vigorously than heretofore, although
congress in Il period of ten years has
appropriated over two million dollars
for work which shows capacity for
many more millions before it gives evil
denoe of material improvement.
The governor in this instance gives a
positive recommendation, simply because
he thought it was safe to do SO. But this
Unsuitable greed of the Fox and Wiscon-
sin, works an injury to every harbor in
the state. With such large annual APP
preparations for this particular improve
ment, others must necessarily be limited
to very small sum. And this is the
fact. Harbors that need dredging and
an extension of their piers, whose COM
merce is large, are put off with pittance
while the bulk of the appropriation for
the state finds its way to the Fox and
the Wisconsin. If the legislature mem
oralize congress at all on the subject of
the Fox and the Wisconsin it should be
to let their waters flow on unvexed. as all
past improvements have only shown the
intractable character of the rivers.

The interest question, which Cover
nor Smith straddled so admirably, will
receive considerable attention at this
session of the legislature. A bill has
been introduced limiting the legal rate
of interest to 6 per cent per annum, and
making proper provision for the evasion
Of the law by means of discounting
notes. No matter how strenuous u.s.
ury law may be, it will be evaded when
the demand for money is great. 1t ia
Ike every other commodity in this re-
spect, that its use will command a sum
proportonate to the demand. Trade
fixes the rate of interest to be paid by
the borrower, and what may be exacted
by the lender and ali arbitrary laws must
give way to those of business. No mat
ter what laws may be passed prescribing
certain rate of interest, the value of the
use of money will depend upon what its
use is worth, and this is exactly what the
borrower will have to pay. Some man
with little money to spare may have to
comply with the law when he becomes
creditor but banks will find ample means
OF exactlng last what the money is worth.

THE MAINE COURT.

The decision of the supreme court of
Maine has been as highly commended by
republicans as it has been denounced by
democrats. Republicans insist that the
court is not partisan and that it could
not in consistence with justice decide
differently. It is not usual for court
to reverse The decision of the same court
composed of different members, though
it is sometimes done as matter of pub
lie policy. But there perhaps is not an
other instance on record in which a court
consisting of the same members and
without any change of circumstances
casts aside decision rendered by it two
years previously and refuse to recognize
1T as precedent. The Madison Demo
crat, points out this fatal discrepancy in
the reasoning of the supreme court of
Maine in its late decisions and in one
rendered in December, 1877. In 1877
the court says:
cit is to be regretted that votes are
lost by the negligence of town officers,
but the obvious remedy is to choose
such as know their duty, and, knowing
it, will perform it. >"
In the late decision the court saws:
"The representative is not deprived of
his right because the municipal officers
have neglected their duty, and again:
mo person is to be deprived of his po-
sition because of the dereliction of those
whose duty it was to send in the re-
turns" Garcelon and the council were
guided by the decision of the supreme
court in convassing the vote of the state.
But it was operating against the repub-
lican party and the court fastened to set
it aside and render one more favorable
to the party whose interests it cherishes.
There can hardly be doubt that the
| republicans are justly entitled to ma
jority in both houses of the Maine legis-
lature. But the action of the democrats
was legal, and by the former decision of
the supreme court of Maine and by the
decision of the electoral commission, a
judicial body with powers greater than
those of the supreme court of the United
States, the "fusion" legislature was the
legal one. Wherever PARTISAN decision
is given, it should be followed by trouble
There are no other means of purifying
| the courts. Their decisions at present
are entitled to no respect and should re-
ceive none until they are given in the
interests of justice rather than of party
| The courts themselves have deliberately
stepped down into the mire of politics
and while there, should be the treated as
a part of the machinery Of politics.
When this becomes generally true,
courts will return to their legitimate bus
mess of dispensing justice.

SOME leading republican papers have
sent out letters of inquiry, and have
adopted other modes of ascertaining the
choice of tho republicans for their next
candidate for the presidency, and in al,
most every instance Grant has a greater
number of supporters than any other
aspirant; indeed he has as many support
ers as all other candidates combined.
The \. \. Herald in searching for some
good reason why Grant should be NOM
mated fer a third term, can find 10
better than that the general himself
wants to be nominated. From present
appearances it seems almost certain
Grant will be the republican nominee.
His silence, when there has been such
demand that If he is not n candidate that
he should SO state publicly, sufficiently
proves that he is looking for the nomin-
alton.
