The Springfield Mass Republican, is
| nominally Republican paper, and in tim
| past, when it saw some good in the party
it was Jealous as a party peper needs b,
But of late it has become very tired. ant
the election of Warner Miller seems tt
have filed it with disgust. Witness tn.
following:
For nearly two months the half-breeC
Republicans at Albany have had the OPP
portunity of generation in New Yorl
politics. They have used it to elect mar
known not to be fit for the Senate, an6
they are endeavoring TO secure the election
of another man for whom a better apology
can be made, but for whom an apology il
necessary; man distinctly below the
standard of the Senators whom New York
has chosen in the past.
Nor is it enough to be told that hIiller's
election means the downfall of the boss
business" The eboss business consists In
nominating unfit men and insisting on their
election, not because they will make good
Senators or representatives, but because
they are useful TO the party, or will give
the Democrats fits, or take care of the reb-
ell brigadiers. This is the essence of the
'bOss business" and it is on like grounds
that Nillers election has been urged. The
contest at Albany has had much that was
demoralzing, but it has had nothing worse
than the readiness with which good men
have CLOSED and condoned machine prac-
tices now that a machine is being run
against an ex boss The election of men
not fit to represent great State in the Fed
eral Senate is public calamity, and it
should be dealt with accordingly"

They seem to be making good deal OF
fuss over the attitude which Governor
Roberts of Texas has taken on the question
of special Thanksgiving day, to celebrate
Garfield's recovery. The whole matter is
of very little national importance and these
glorious United States viii probably get
along about the same, with a trifiing differ
ence in the matter of indigestion, whether
we have two Thanksgiving days this year or
only one. Candidate Foster is the only
person who cares much abodt the matter
anyway and. as he only wants little
campaign advertisement the general senti-
ment is that he can get along without it.
This is a most unfortunate time of the
year to hold Thanksgiving day, turkey is
not yet ripe, while celery and cranberry
sauce are unknown to the market. Thanks
giving day with only roast beef and NUT
ton could never be a success and when
even oysters are wanting it would prove
dismal failure. The governor of Texas may
be so full of sympathy that he is danger of
suffocating, and yet in view of all these OBJ
jsctions to July or August as a date of
national rejoicing, think himself justified
in declining Candidate Fosters request.
Yet there may be less sense in Roberts re-
fusal than there would be in the governors
of other states, for Texans can make very
decent and enthusiastic Thanksgiving day,
with no other accessory than good Bourbon
whiskey, and that article is as available in
summer as in winter.

Sitting Bull has finally surrendered and
officers The only question now agitating
the mind of Grandmother Kirkwood is as
to what the deuce he is going to do with
him. Sitting Bull has been the Indian
eonundrum that has harassed the mind and
vexed the soul of the Secretary of the In
terror for many moons; and captured and
prisoner, he is about as big an elephant
to handle as he was while free. As an en-
envy, making war. the course to pursue
was more or less clear, namely,
to make pretense of fighting him. and
get whipped occasionally; but now he is in
custody, the probable course, if we are to
judge anything of the future by the past
will be to feed him and his warriors awhile
fatten his ponies, supply him with the lat
est pattern of firearms and plenty of am
munition, and then let them go to wage
another war against us and kill O few
more of our soldiers. The murder of
young Pugh in New Mexico the
other day by some reservation Indians
shows what o beautiful and shining success
our Indian policy is, and the putting OF
Sitting Bull into such shape that he could
once more murder men and outrage wo
men, would be nothing more than the nat
ural and logical course to pursue in follow
ing out the same policy. There is nc
doubt that we are the greatest nation on
the broad earth, and can eternally whip al

The Chicago Times has been aiding tn
Rev. Leonard Bacon in his attack on the
American Bible society as follows:
THE American Bible society doesn'
take kindly to the revised Testament
Everybody, the unorthodoX and heather, i
publishing the volume as revised, and thu
American Bible society with large stool
of old bibles on hand doesn't like the com
petition. 1t set its face against the new
book seemingly because it does not enjoy
monopoly of it's circulation If lay
man were to characterize the bible society
as a fraud, it might be thought he was
moved by ignorance, or envy. malice, OF
all uncharitableness; but SO good cleric
as the Rev. DR.. Leonard W. Bacon has
been showing up the institution in way
calculated to impair its usefulness as a
salary paying, sinecure- breeding establish
ment."
DR.. Bacon speaks publicly of this fat,
overgrown lazy monopoly" as "a public
nuisance, hindering the circulation of the
scriptures in this country, and accomplish
ing nothing in any country that would not
be better done if it were out of the way.
The doctor however is not contented
with such sweeping generalities but makes
further specific charges. He charges that
IAN unsafe, not to say dishonest, ring has
been dominating the affairs of the publish
ing house; that it is a close corporation
hiding its doings from the public; that it
has Systematically sought to circumscribe
the free circulation of the bible, that it
may start Macedonian cries and encourage
livelier contributions; that its freely-given
capital of millions has attracted an army of
book agents, salaried by churches; and of
its 10000 contributing life members, and
an illimitabIe number of annual members
paying So each, not one in thousand is
ever permitted to know how things are
manipulated. The doctor disclaims
against further solicitation of funds for
this concern as scandal against public
morals, and advises that nothing further
be given it, but that contributions go in
stead to the missionary societies, or to
committees authorized to go into the open
market and buy tracts and bibles where
they may be had the cheapest"
The Times is il-natured enough to sug-
gest that DR.. Bacon should be also sure the
money contributed to the trust for mission
airy purposes viii not be misapplied the
same as it given to the bible society. There
Bacon is correct in his information, the
sooner the facts are made public the better
for all parties concerned

1t is by this time substantially decided
that Mr.. Conkling viii be laid away
safe from harm on political shelf
and some other man will succeed him in
the senate. That the retirement Of Mr..
Conkling is good there is very little
doubt, but the fitness of the newly chosen
men is matter very much in dispute,
