The Chicago Inter Ocean says that
if congress does not, the people will,
pay President Garfield's doctors
bill. AS the president receives a
salary of $4,000 year, and as that
salary runs right along whether the
president be i'll or well, we are una
BILE to understand how he can be re-
garded as an object of charity. The
truth is, so much of this talk about
charity to the president is indecent
and must bring the blush of shame
to every American cheek. If the
salary paid the chief magistrate be
insufficient TO meet the demands Of
the position, let it be increased; but
for decency's sake let this talk about
alms-giving to the chief executive
OF this great country cease.

The telegraphic facilities of the
STATESMAN, which usually pene-
trste the pineries of Maine and
thence over the country, plunging
INTO the bowels of California, seem 10
have settled at Washington City.
We are aware that the people desire
and expect tidings from the wound
ed president, and we are more than
willing they should have them, but
that is no good reason why the as
ISOLATED press should palm of a LOT
of unreliable rumors, under the
head OF unofficial bulletins,n and
force the reader TO do with
~sdt the current news of the
day. These reports from the White
House have become a farce, because
they are not believed to be reliable,
They have from the very first been
purposely deceptive. The people
want the news from the president,
but they want it in aplain, untechni-
cal and truthful manner-more hon
estv and sense and less words.

Now that General Grant has re-
tired to private life, it is but fair
that the grand ideas which under
lay his whole presidential policy
should be brought again before the
impartial judgment of the Ameri-
can people.-St. Louis Globe Demo
crdt.
Underlying Grants presidential
policy are some grand ideas indeed,
which have already been brought
"before the impartial Judgment of
the American people," and been
condemned and spurned by every
honest man in the country. These
grand ideas are embodied in carpet
baggery and military license in the
south ; the Indian ring, which help
to disgrace his secretary of war ;
the whisky ring. of which the prin-
cipal owner of the CD. was a con-
spicuous and leading member; the
Black Friday ring, which carried
destruction and poverty to thous-
ands of the honest business men OF
the country; hundreds of other
rings, which fastened upon the body
polite horde of hungry cormo-
rants and plunderers; personal gov
eminent, contempt of constitutional
obligations, nepotism, and so ON to
the end of the chapter. 1t is not
probable that any one approves Of
these "grand ideas" except the
Globe Democrat, whose editor Grant
pardoned out of the penitentiary.
where he was properly placed fol

The Waco Telephone, which has,
for the past few days, been feeding
Mack on sugar plums, says "his
(Mack's) advocacy of Thorp Springs
is made in an honest, open way,
without any appeal to sectional feel

Herring, the selected champion OF

SHERMAN, Texas, August Is, 1881.
W. G. Sterett, ESQ:
In report of my speech at Dallas
you say:
"Mr. Herring said that the little

expressly deprecated the line o.

The New York Stats Zeltatng
commenting on the Virginia situa-
uion, says:
"The Republicans are endeavoring
TO assail the position of the Demo-
Gratis, because they declare them
selves in favor of recognizing the
capital of the public debt, and at the
same time in favor of reducing the
interest to three per cent. Never
theless, the Republicans have to adj
NIT that the Readjuster agitation
has so far corrupted public opinion
that the Democrats would have no
chance of success if they did not
propose a reduction of interest cor
responding to the general relations
of financial affairs as they are at
present.
Moreover, the name of Daniel,
the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, offers a much more decided
pledge than even the Democratic
platform, where the Indestructible
maintenance of the state credit to
set forth. We see no reason why
we should not give our entire SYM
patty to the Virginia Democrats.
Their party associates throughout
the country have the right to be
proud of them. Every Republican
in the whole land can see in the Goa
lition of the Republicans of Vir-
ginia with the Regulators, whose
leader more nearly resembles Tweed
than any other American politician
of the present day, and in the toll
Grafton of this coalition by almost
all the organs of the Republican
party, only one of the sadest proofs
of the degradation of that party,
and of the total lack of conscience
in it's choice of the means to main
tain itself IN power. We are happy
to say that the prospect of over
throwing this miserable coalition is
not by any means so poor as the
Republican organs wish to have us
believe"
While it is true that the rate of
interest is small, it is rate that
holds good at this time in money
circles. The federal government
that is fully able to pay all its obli-
CATIONS makes its creditors take
such a per cent

CORPORATIONS VS. the PEOPLE.


What is known as the anti-Mo-
nopoly Conference began IFS session
at Utica, New York, yesterday. That
the people Of the whole country are
beginning to realize the extent and
meaning of the wild and reckless
Entertainments of corporate power
finds no stronger illustration than
in the fact that the New FORK cham.
Der of commerce, the oldest com.
mercial body in the United States
composed of men who, because OF
their business relations and expert
ence, are enabled to understand
lthe gravity of the situation, has by
a unanimous vote sent delegates
to that conference. The conference
according TO the language of the
call, is to decide whether our gov
eminent is to continue a govern
ment of the people, for the people
and by the people, or whether it is
to be a government of corporations
for a favored few" The commit.
tee having the arrangements for the
conference in charge invited ex.
Senator's Herman and Conkling
Horatio Seymour, and other repre-.
sentative men of both political par
ties, to be present and deliver adj
dresses, the avOwed object being to
ignore politics entirely and to start
a movement against corporate power
which will have its foundation in
the wrongs, and find cheering echo
IN the hearts, of the whole people
There is no question that thinking
people are aroused, and. knowing
their danger, will find a remedy
The object, then, of this conference
is to seek out the required remedy
and if it shall formulate platform
of principles demonstrating, in un-
measured terms, against the aggres-
sions and abuses of the corporations
without desire TO destroy them
but only to restrain their illegal use
of authority, it will have done well
and will meet the expectations and
approval Of the people. AS the
STATESMAN has repeatedly asserted
the relations of the corporations to
the people, and how to amicably and
equitably adjust these relations, is
the great problem of the day. There.
fore the deliberations of this Utica
conference, composed as it is of rep.
resentative and thinking men from
all over the country, will be watched
with more than ordinary interest
This movement finds ITS first author.
itative expression in New York, and
it must, without much further de-
lay, result either in a fair and honor
able arrangement of the differences
between the people and the corpo
rations, or in an open war between
the two. 1t is a question upon which
the minds of statesmen may be fully
exercised.
