U. 4. GRANT

And now comes the information thai
Logan has succeeded in persuading the
senate that Grant should be placed upon
the retired list. As representative of the
great American mendicant, Grant is pro
nounced success, and would meet with full
houses if he would undertake star en-
gsgement. As a man who win take any
thing that comes his way, from solitaire
diamond ring TO a yellow dog or lot in
the cemetery, Grant would take the red
may seem strange, and 10 many untrue,
but it is an admitted fact that If Grant had
an opportunity of appropriating to himself
Bsrnnm's what is it, " he would immedi-
ately embrace it. There is about as much
justice in the proposal to put Grant upon
the retired list as there would be in
scheme to elevate Susan b. Anthony to
the same salary-drawing position, but there
is money in it and that is enough for
Grant. This desire for ducats on Grants
part has been the cause of much national
disgrace. and the country can look back
on eight years of his administration, every
one of which is a memory of shame and
because our chief executive
did not have enough respect for his official
the subjects of personal
honesty entirely out Of the question-to
refuse gifts and brides. And now he is
before Congress crying for more. The
conundrum is, win anything ever satisfy
him?

THE DIFFERENCE.

Honesty is the best policy is a motto
which is occasionally exemplifiedin man
ner SO conspicuous as to give 1t new vi
tality. The following from the Savannal
(Ga.) Nescs is pleasant reading:
Making john W. Daniel, the latescham
pion of the honest debt-paying Democrat,
of Virginia, president Of bank in Lynch
burg, has peculiar significance just now
and shows the confidence felt in him as
man. 1t is very doubtful if any bank
would be willing to take Malone its pres
ident. If it did prudent depositors would
probably steer clear of it, lest it might re

OPINIONS OF INDI vIDUALs ON THE PRESENT
SYSTEM. DOES PROTECTION PROTECT?

OPINIONS OF INDIVIDUALS ON THE PRESENT
SYSTEM. DOES PROTECTION PROTECT?
The iRsidious but inevitable effects of
| the protective policy upon those industries
which have always enjoyed it are perfectly
manifest in their present condition. So
far from being independent and self sup
porting, as they would have been if left to
their own resources they are now more de-
pendent upon this artificial means of sup
port than ever before. And we are justified
in the confident prediction that they never
will become self-sustaining until left to
rely upon themselves rather than upon Ie-
gislative assistance. To confirm this view
we need but compare the present with the
past In our infancy as nEtion, eighty
years ago. in order TO encourage these in :
dustries, q duty of five per cent. was i'm
posed upon cotton and wooden goods, and
seven and one half per cent. on iron wares.
At present not less than ten times this
amount of security is demanded as being
necessary to the very existence Of these in
dustries. More than one hundred years
ago we made and exported pig iron to
England, and that country thought herself
compelled to protect her iron interests by
forbidding its transportation from the col
onies. Even when our tariff was adopted
it was not deemed necessary to include
pig iron In the list. Since then Gin 1870.

TIE RETIRED LIST.

The Army retired list is probably one of
the greatest blessings of our free and re-
publican government It affords an oppor-
tunity to our patriotic officers TO serve
their country, by regularly drawing their
pay, long after age and disease have rem
dered them incapable Of any active service.
1t is blessing of which the country
should be proud, and cheerfnlly consent to
the exercise of it to the furtherest limit. It
is a pleasant sight to have an officer, SO
old that be has right to be placed on this
list, promoted to 2 high Office, SO that
when in few weeks he is retired he can

An Indian Outbreak In Arizona.

Tucson. April 2l.-The following dis.
patch was received to-day in regard to
the Indian outbreak: Camp Thomas.
April 20:-Chcever's band of four bucks
and thirty women and children stole
away from the sub-agency last night.
On receipt OF the news this morning at
the agency, Sterling, chief of po-
lice. went to see if Locos' band.
OF Warm Springs, was present,
and WAS killed on sight. His body was
badly mutilated. The band then left.
Two companies of the sixth cavalry,
Col. Schotield commanding, let: here for
the agency an hour after the receipt Of
the news: They crossed the river near
the sub-agency at noon, and took the
trail. About one hundred and ten bucks
are on the war path, sixty OF whom are
supposed to be returned renessdes OF
the Chlrisahioas. If this is the case the
following were probably killed:
Tom Lowland, wife and two employees;
McMurren and son, Lamb and son, ana
Stevens, sheep herders.
Lees band numbered about three hun
dred, fifty Of whom are bucks. The
sqnaws. which make up the larger part
of the renegade escapes. are the relics OF
Victoria's band, lett by them when they
won't on the war path last summer, and
families of Johns baud. They have now
gone under an escort to Loco II JON
those who have already made good tleir
escape.
Arms have been issued to the settlers
on exposed points, although n general
outbreak is not feared. All trouble is
due to the fact that Juha, having returne,
to his friends, has Induced them, by iai
representations,to to return to the old home
which, the experiences of last snmue
prove, they will undoubtedly try 70 do
