affair has been ex-Confederate exclusively,
but this time both ex- Confederates and ex-

and each did everything in their power to
contribute to the success of the occasion.

OFFICIAL information received at
army headquarters in Omaha. Nebr., is to
the effect that an outbreak of the Sioux
Indians at Pine Ridge Agency is liable to
occur, and general war with the northern
tribes is possible. DIR. McGillicuddy, agent
Of the Red Cloud Indians, has been notified
that unless he is removed by October they
will rise. About 800 Indians are engaged
In the trouble, and in their neighborhood
about 1900 more. 1t is estimated that
1000 warriors can be summoned for the
outbreak. What the grievances against the
Pine Ridge agent are is not stated, and he
bears an excellent reputation. 1t is thought
by some that his rigid enforcement Of the
Government regulations causes dissatisfac-
tion. Red Cloud is thought to be actuating
the braves in their demand for the removal
of DIR. McGillicuddy. 1t is further stated
that many young men in the tribes
have grown up since the war OF 1876, and
many warriors have returned who followed
Sitting Bull, aud that these elements are
anxious for war.

Away With All Taxation.

The Dem mocratic party is already being
disturbed by the tariff question. The
bold Watterso IL swears that protection is
treason, and yet Randall looms up for
the Speakership. Carlisle, Of Kentucky,
in which State whisky is king, would
fain play havoc with the whisky tax, and
if he succeeds the tariff for revenue will
protect unless put wholly on articles not
produced or manufactured in the United
States. The best solution of the diff
Guilty is to abolish the internal revenue
system, and also to establish free trade.
This would cut off all the national reve-
nues. If any shall doubt the practica-
bility of carrying on the government
without money let them consider how
the debt-payers of Virginia preserved
their honor for SO many years by proudly
keeping right on owing the money they
took no steps to pay. We see no other
course for the Democracy. Tariff for
revenue is inadmissible, for it will pro-
tect. The internal revenue system was
always odious TO tie Democracy, and its
Continuance is not to be thought of. True
Democratic craftsmanship will not un-
dervalue the power Of "no taxes and no
tariff" rs party shibboleth for 1854. =.

rather to be studying how to lift the
politics Of the country high above the

be done only by directing our mental
vision to the Democratic beyond. Fancy

feelings of Republicans as the old Bour-

called forth by the achievements of the
