Lieutenant John Daneuhower.

The proposed reception to Lieutenant
Danenhower will be one Of the most appro-
pirate expressions of public respect and
esteem that Washington has ever witnessed.
Hitherto it has been the rule to reserve
that sort Of demonstration for native poll
ticians or visiting princes, who, as rule,
had done nothing to command public
honers. But this reception of Danenhower
will be testimonial from his fellow-citi-
zens Of their sense of his own heroism, and
as such is no less creditable to them than
flattering TO him. The long periods of
peace which our country fortunately en-
joys afford but little opportunity for the
display by naval officers of the qualities
which challenge popular admiration. 1t,
therefore, becomes habit with our people
to regard the lace of American naval heroes
as extinct with the ashes of Paul Jones,
Decatur, Lawrence and Farragut. But Dan
enhower and his comrades have demon
strated that the race is still extant; and
that, whether facing the broadsides Of the
enemy or the still more formidable terrors
of the Polar solitudes, American seamen are
now, as in the past, made Of the best stuff
that mankind affords.

and to dispense with the assistance of the
lobby.
Thus when they heard that the Whisky
Ring had raised fund Of six hundred
thousand dollars to put through a subsidy
Of sixty millions, the Reformers assembled
in council and inquired of one another what
need there was of letting any part of this
magnificent sum escape them.
"Why," they asked, Should we divide
with lobby when we can just as well at
tend 10 every branch Of the business our.
selves?"
This was of course businesslike. In
fact, it was in the nature Of Reform.
1t is, no doubt, quite corrupt in Con-
gresham to have friend on the outside
vending his vote and exacting percentage
of the price by way of commission. But for
the Congressman himself to conduct the
negotiation and receive the pay without
deduction of any kind is pure and patri-
otic. The corruption is wholly in the COM
mission formerly charged by the friend
outside.
This, let it be understood, is the essential
difference between the Reformer and the
Corruptionist (so-called). The Congress
sional Corruptionist (so-called) may be en-
gagged in jobbery, but he pursues the tenor
of his way evenly aud makes no false pre-
lenses; while the Reformer, withal the
bigger thief of the two, is, besides, hypo-
critic and hog. The chief lesson this ex-
ploded whisky job teaches is that whenever
you hear statesman crying out against
the lobby you may infallibly conclude that
he has got tired of vending his vote through
a licensed auctioneer, on commission, and
proposes to try the experiment of nego-
tiating it himself at private sale.
This is Reform.

The Government Bound to Fail.

Petersburg 1ndex'Appenl.
New indictments against General Brady, late
Second Assistant Postmaster-General, ez-
Senator Dorsey and other Star-Route "stfs-
pects'' were found by tho Washington Grand
Jury on Friday last These, we are informed,
are to take the place Of those on which trial
has already been ordered. Referring to this
subject the Washington Post Of the Goth says
"The indictments now pending and on
which trial was ordered on the 25th instant
will he dismissed. The continuances have
been withthe object of procuring new indict-
ments from the present Grand Jury, as 1t was
pretty generally admitted that the others were
hopelessly detective"
The Post says, further, ''that the Indictment
against one OF the principal persons impli
Gated was obtained by a close vote In the
Grand Jury. Whatever the guilt or innocence
OF the parties may be-and they are entitled
TO the supposition of innocence until guilt
is established to the satisfaction Of q trial
jury-we are now inclined to the opinion that
the authorities will fail to convict any OF the
principal parties. The trial Jury, on full
statement of the case, could hardly be unani
nous while the Grand Jury, with only the
prosecutions side before 1t, was divided"

AN ESTEEMED CONTEMPORARY, in an
elaborate article on the Whisky Ring, says
that "while in some particulars the man
agement Of the bill in the House was of a
character to excite suspicion, the inexor-
able refusal of Mr.. Carlisle to touch it
unless the lobby was completely excluded
from employment in its behalf goes far to
reassure the public"
We have heard something like this be-
fore. 1t would perhaps be pertinent to in
quire what this dreadful lobby Is that SO
shocked the sensitive nerves of Mr.. Carlisle I?
II the whisky job was so pure and patri-
otic that the lobby's touch would defile it,
what need could there have been of raising
Mr.. shufeldt's celebrated six hundred
thousand dollars TO put the thing through
with, and what necessity for expenditure
SO lavish chat the Ring, "even with this,
found itself short " before the object was
accomplished
There Is an answer to these questions. In
fact, there is more than one answer, but
they are not all required. The one which
chiefly concerns the public is that which
most obviously suggests ITSELF There is a
group of men in Congress posing con-
stantly In the (self-adyertised) character OF
"ReformerB." This Is a role adopted by
way of contradistinction to another class Of
men who, By the same dictionary, are de-
fined as corruptionists." But it is OBJ
served that the Reformers are getting rich
on small salaries faster than the corrup
tionists ever dared do, and with much less
effort at concealment. Latterly, embold-
ened by long continued immunity, the Re
formers have concluded to take direct
charge Of all business that had money in il

Joe williams Troubles In Denver.

National Republican.
Joseph Williams, the well-known contractor,
of this city, who is now located In Denver, has
been sued by Thomas Graves, of that city, who
alleges that he (Gravee) was Williams part
ner in several large sewer contracts there, and
that "Joe" has drawn all the funds, and that
he (Graves) has not received his share. He
therefore wants q receiver appointed to take
charge Of all property belonging to the
partnership, and to restrain Williams "from
further approprlating the FUNDS 10 his own
use." Williams says in an interview in the
Egening World, ofDenver, that Mr.. Graves is not
claims on him in any manner. shane. or form.
as he will easily be able to show to the court
when the motion is heard for q receiver and
injunction. The EreainQ World, which is
partly owned by Mr.. Williams, denounces Mr..
Tom Graves as a blackmailer, and intimates
that the two legal firms that have charge Of
tempt at blackmail. The case promises to be
an interesting one.

THE Baltimore Day is very much in
favor of civil-service reform, and is re-
freshingly honest in proclaiming the car
dinal principles upon which Democratic
civil service should be founded. 1t says
the Democrats should proclaim that there
will "be no removal of minor officials,
without due cause" but that ''active par
ticipation" (by minor Republican oflcials)
"in campaign work would be accounted
good and sufficient cause for removal"
AS there are about one hundred thou
sand men acting as minor Republican
officials " at the present time, who are sup
posed to possess all the rights of American
citizens, one of these rights being that to
express political opinions and work for their
success with all the energy that the aver.
age American usually displays, the propo-
sition of the Day is merely to deprive this
one hundred thousand of that right.
This proposal contains, however, about
the average sense of all that have been
made to inaugurate "civil- reform "
The only true rule on the subject of select
ing minor officials" or major" ones either
as to that, is for the appointing power tc
select capable men from its political friends
giving preference to those who combine
capacity with active, intelligent and homes
work for the party in power, and not tt
keep these in Office long enough to build VI
an office-holding class.

TUE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE has decided
to report that the lands granted to the
Northern Pacific are pon-forfeitable, but
that those granted to the State of Michigan
for the building of roads in that State are
forfeitable.
The laws under which the aid was condi.
tionally granted are very similar in word
ing, and the spirit and intent of the laws
was precisely the same. The object of Con-
gress was to procure the completion, within
a specific time, of certain railroads.
Neither the State of Michigan nor the
Northern Pacific Railroad corporation have
complied with the law in letter or spirit.
The roads have not been built within the
time required, but the State has built, be-
fore and after the expiration of the time
set for their completion, all the lines of
railway contemplated by the granting act.
There is one way of accounting for these
decisions, but THE CRITIC does not like to
adopt that, though it sees no alternative.
The Northern Pacific, by its failure to com.
ply with the conditions of the granting act,
either in letter or spirit, has absolutely
forfeited 81 ,459,S40 acres of land, that is
within fraction of $4,000 square miles
territory larger than all the State of New
York larger than Michigan larger than
all the New England States, except Maine,
On the other side Michigan has earned,
by building roads, more than has been GER
titled to it. 1904, ,s76 acres, or 2,023 square
miles. And again the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company has had several able at
torneys here to represent it. and is able to
pay them large fees for their services, while
the States are not represented on or before
the committee.

An Excited PrOspectOr.

Billy Morahsn, better known as
"Muldoon," the hero of the half shift
on the Big Hoe, at Belleville, went
into Garfield district some time ago
to prospect. His search was reward
ed enc day by the discovery of a
ledge. "Mulloon" struck his pick
into it, and it broke we'll, showing
plenty of mineral. His good luck
threw him off his balance for time
and he ran up the hill a hundred feet
and began sinking shaft. A few
hours work convinced him that this
would take a long time. He then
went down to the discovery, took
another look at the rock, got excited
again, and went down the hill to run
a tunnel under the ledge. When
night came he was exhausted but
hopeful, and was able to reach Lun-
ing with a pocketful of rocks, head
full of anticIpations, and lie soon
had something else full OF bitters, all
on account of the Josie mine.

Esmerdlda county. Luuing is the
center from which will radIute the
trade aud travel of four new aud
rich mining districts, ellis, Garfield,
Santa Fe aud Silver Star. These
districts are now attracting much
attention owing to the many aud
valuable deposits OF mineral discov-
cred within their boundaries. The
mineral belts are extensive in area,
and the lodges are generally rich.
No other section i'll Nevada has
shown itself to be So essentially the

while the weather is cold and travel.

A Mason Valley Valentine.

A rancher in from Mason Valley
on Tuesday saw the valentine excite
ment around the postoffice and de-
termined to follow the fashion and
send his own dearest a token. No
cheap two bit arrangement would
suit him, and the high toned orna-
mental structures in handkerchief
boxes were too flimsy to meet the
taste of the sturdy ploughman. He
however found gaudily painted
window curtain which contained a
picture of two young people sitting
near duck pend. This was put up
and mailed for him, aud his sweet
heart has doubtless by this time
guessed who thought enough of her
to send her an oil painting on Valen-
tine day.
