livered to be held for the redemption of

1t looks very much as if Cannon, the
polygamous Utah delegate in Congress,
had "got left," so far as the next Con-
gress is concerned. 1t will be remem-
bered that. though elected over his gen.
tile competitor by large majority at the
last election, the Governor gave the OFF,
cial certificate to the defeated candidate,
on the ground that Cannon's practice of
polygamy and his never having been
naturalized rendered him ineligible to
the Office. An alternative mandamus
was served on the Governor, requiring
him to declare Cannon elected. To this
demurrer was set up. and on Thursday
last Judge Twiss sustained the demurrer.

meanness Of Radioal 0niee seekers.

MeanneSs or RADICAL ONCE seekers.
1t is well for Garfield that he has but
a few days more at Mentor, as in week
or two more the hungry pack by whom
he IL beset would literally eat him out
Of house and home One of the meanest
processes in the general List of mean
nesses is thus described by the Mentor
correspondent of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat
Unfortunately, all the trains that stop
here are due just at meal time. One
stops at g. m, two trains coming from
the east and west stop between 10 and 1
D. m, and another at 6 p. m. Although
there are two public houses at the sta
ton, where good meals are furnished at
twenty-five cents, the majority of visi-
tors are so mean or inconsiderate that
they go Immediately to the Generals
house, two miles from the station, and
expect, of course, to be invited 70 the
table. Thus the generous hospitality OF
the Garfield family is taxed to the ut
most, and for the benefit in most
instances of people who have no just
claim upon it. Many come on the evening
train and expect supper, lodging and
breakfast at the Garfield farm house.
The expense of keeping up free board.
ing house for the people Of the United
States is not inconsiderable. but this is
a small matter compared with the labor
and care which are thus forced on Gen.
Garfield and his family. A gentleman
who has been observing these outrages
for several days, remarked to your cor
respondent just now that there are more
id fools in this country than he had
ever supposed. The patience and for
bearance of the Garfield family are in
deed wonderful"
Not such damphools, either, come to
think of it. The poor devils manage to
astonish their stomachs with a square
meal, if they don't get an Office.

The Killing Of Captain Elliot BY
the Beers.

No doubt the killing by the Beers Of
Captain Elliot, of the British Ninety
fourth Regiment, was bad business, but
the report of Captain Lambert shows it
to have been not quite SO black as at
first painted The two officers were in
an enemy's country, yet they were set
free on the single condition that they
would quit it. They pledged their honor
to do so. Thus, to begin with,
they were treated with a kind
ness such as no British troops would
render to a Boer officer They did
not leave the territory, and two men
were sent to compel them to leave.
These two men found them, not going
toward the Vaal, but directly away from
it, pleading that the river was too high.
Instead of arresting them as violators of
their parole, the Beers gave them let
ter from the Secretary of State, saying
that it could not be supposed they really
meant to break their word, and again
telling them they must ford the
river Instantly, at the nearest good point,
which would be shown them. They
promised to do this; meanwhile half a
dozen other Beers had come up to make
the escort strong. The two officers drove
their horses in, but then stopped, and
said that they would have to return.
The faithful Boer soldiers warned them
that they risked death. Again they
stopped, and at last the escort opened
fire, Elliott falling. His companion
jumped into the water, and soon was
safe ashore. thus showing that the Vaal
was not impossible, and that Elliott had
paid with his life his refusal to obey.

EXCELLENT ADvICE.-The Alexandria
Gazette, commenting on the action of
the so-called Military Committee at
Washington, in adopting a resolution
"that none but Union soldiers shall have
command of the general division of the
Inauguration procession" advises that
as this is an effort to not only to exclude
the South from any participation in the
ceremonies connected with the inaugu-
ration of President, but to still further
humiliate her, that the voluntary mill
tary organizations of the South who
have declared their purpose of partici-
pating should at once revoke and aban-
don their action, and if they visit Wash
lngton they do so simply In the capao-
itY Of individual citizens. In this way
they can quietly, decorously and prop
erly resent the latest gross and gratuitous
insult that has been inflicted upon the
South" all of which is most excellent
advice

One of the leading counsel in England
asked Davitt, after his condemnation,
why he, who had lived so long out of
Ireland, should be so eager to redress her
grievances. He replied: when I was
three years old 1 saw the roof taken off
my mothers house; we were then placed
in an open cart and taken through the
snow to a port, where we took ship for
America. / have never forgotten this.
and have vowed to devote my life to
putting an end to a system which sub
jects others to like fate" Curiously
enough, one of the first speeches that he
delivered on behalf of the Land League
was from platform which was erected
on the exact spot where his mothers
house used to stand.

The Bridgeport Farmer says: "The
Republican predictions that Mr.. Garfield
will succeed in reconciling Blaine and
Conkling, are not possible of fulfllment
until one or the other yields the claim of
his faction to the next Presidential nomi-
nation. Nor will Mr. Garfield succeed
in constructing a smooth working Cabi-
net from inharmonious materials. Both
factions will seek to rule the Cabinet,
and when one succeeds in capturing the
President, a reconstruction Of the Cabi-
net viii soon follow. Mr.. Garfeld's
plan of restoring harmony in the party,
will not prove a success.

THE MONROE BUSINESS FLAT
There's another chip knocked from the
shoulders of the Monroe doctrinaires.
Chill has passed right by our potential
embassies, right over the head of our
later Talleyrand, Evarts, and asked the
courts Of England. France and Italy to
mediate between her and the victorious
Peruvians. Here is an infraction of the
Monroe business that leaves the poor
thing nothing but a riddled rag, so to
speak, and the opponents of it somewhat
in the position of flats-fat as pan

A revolution has broken out in Vene-
zuela, South America, against the gov
eminent of General Guzman Blanco, and
up to the present appears to have gained
some advantage over the government
troops. The recent reforms are said to
have excited much discomfort in the
country, where they are denounced as
leading to centralism and tyranny. and
the revolution does not appear difficult.
1t is asserted by some that the next
Congress viii not be able to reunite in
consequence of the disorders produced
by this revolution.

General Grants visit to Mexico is not
regarded with universal favor in that
republic. The National, for instance,
in its issue of January 30, says that this
expedition is connected with railway
projects and speculative schemes with
which no Mexican who loves his country
can agree. This speculation, the Ma
ttonaE says, cannot fail to bring great
dangers on the southern republic if they
are not averted in time. The National
