THE panic in "the grand old Repnbli.
can party" seems not to have subsided,
Judging from indications at Washing
ton. Edmund, the Sherman, Lo-
gan. Hale, Frye and other leaders, are
anxious to repair the fences and get
matters in shape for 1884. They had
President Arthur in his message favor
reform as to assessments and other top
les. They seem to have agreed to pass
Pendleton's Civil Service bill, adding
amendments so as to make the measure
acceptable to the Republican party.
The danger is that the whole thing will
be a sham; and the people generally
think they have had sham enough. They
now want honest work, honest reform
honest civil service, no star route thiev-
ing, nor Presidential steals, nor other
knavish operations. We need Doctor
Surgeon in the White House, somewhat
like Andrew Jackson, who will put
things in honest shape, 'by the eter-
nal" and who will take the respOnsi.
bility." Samuel j. Tilden, as Governor
Of New York, too, changed things in the
way of reform and economy. That was
one reason why he was counted out as
President, and why the fraudulent
Hayes, Star Route administration was
counted in by s to Z.

CONGRESSMAN MCKINLEY.

HURBAH for next-COngressman Nc
Kinley-Salem Era.
The Era evidently is of the opinion
it didn't earn its money during the cam
paign, (and by the way there are others
of the same OpiniOn), and therefore pro-
poses to throw in little extra hurrah-
ing by way of good measure. That Is
very generous on the part of the Era.
But will the Era be kind enough to in
form the public what it finds in the sit
uatiOn to inspire such enthusiasm Does
it find anything particularly comforting
in the fact that the man, whom 1t took
especial pains to prove guilty of false
hood and bad faith, before the primaries
the man who wiped out a solid Repub-
lican majority of $500 in I'll district
was granted a certificate of election by
the State Board of CanvasSers by lone
ly majority of OneP There are few Re-
publicans who can enthuse on this sub
ject. especially when 1t is remembered
that even this majority of one is obtain
ed by refusing to count fifteen votes ev-
erybOdy knows belong honestly to his
competitor. We don't like to believe any
Republican paper in this district could
endorse an act that would wrOngfully
deprive a man, no matter what his poll
tics, of an Office to which he has fairly
been elected Republican papers have
heretofore taught a different doctrine.
1t may be the Era has obtained a clear
understanding of what, we confess, is as
yet mystery to us, in the act of the
State Board of CanYassers. If so, will it
please infl,rm us on the following points:
1st. Why did the Board Of CanVassers,
after deciding that their duties were
purely ministerial, assume judicial
functions, by counting for Henry L. Mo
Tey 3,517 votes which were cast for II,
l.. MOreyP
I'd. Why did they count for Adoniram
J. Warner several hundred votes cast
for Andrew j. WarnerP
Sd. Why did they count seven votes
for Jonathan II. Wallace which were
cast for j. H. Wallace and Jonathan
Wallace?
If they had the legal power to do this,
why did they refuse to count the fifteen
other votes that as plainly expressed
the intent of the voter, as the ones they
did count?
If they could give votes to AdOniram
which were cast for Andrew it does
seem the same rule would lave at least
given the votes cast for John Il. to JOna
than H.
1t might be that in doing so the Board
would have been compelled to issue the
certificate to man who was not their

not then be subject to the suspicion that
now attaches to them.
The act of the Board in assuming ju-
dleial functions so far as it favored our
side, and refusing to exercise that pow
er when it was against us, gives the
thing dead away.
For this reason we see but very little
cause for jubilating now. Let us wait
till the next time. when, if we, behave
ourselves, we will have something we
can hurrah over without blushing.-Al-
lance Review.

The Comptroller of the Currency at
Washington, Hon. John Jay Knox, has
favored us with copy of his annual re-
port, recently submitted to Congress.
The report contains "a pages, and is full
Of interesting information concerning
the currency of the country and other
financial matters. 1t seems III national
banks were organized during the year
ending November, 1882, and nineteen
have been voluntarily discontinued
Since the establishment of the system
81 banks have been placed in the hands
Of receivers. OF the III organized the
past year ten are in the State of Ohio.
The estimated total currency of the
country on November 1st is fourteen
hundred and eighty-eight millions, of
which over two hundred and seventy
one millions are specie and bullion in
.he Treasury, near 347 millions of
Treasury notes (greenbacks), 1858 millions
national bank notes, coin in national
banks 102 millions, near 18 millions in
State savings banks, and about 1888 mil
lions held by the people. The total
amount of standard silver dollars coined
I'D to November 1st, 1882, is 1928, ,329,-
$50, of which but $35,914, ,S03 were cir
sulating outside Of the Treasury in the
form Of coin, and $65 ,620, ,45O in the form
Of certificates, leaving but about 81 mil
Hons actually in the Treasury. The in
srease Of gold and silver coin and paper
currency, outside of the Treasury, since
the date Of resumption is estimated at
$3.50 millions, and adding the silver
certificates 1856, ,172, ,504, over 25 millions
being the increase Of the past year.
The document is interesting, full OF
statistics, and evidently prepared with
care and with q view to giving the
actual condition of the currency. II
shows near 800 millions boarded in the
Treasury. It shows that the country is
On the road to imitation. During the
past year 14S millions of the national
debt was paid, and the Comptroller says
there is now no such pressing necessity
for a speedy payment of the public
debt as there is for the reduction Of the
redundant revenue" The important
points In the way of reform are un-
aOubtedly to reduce revenue and cur
sail expenditures.

PROBABLY the most certain and effect
ual instrumentality toward securing re-
form in the civil service of the Govern
uent is to have a President with a
Jackson will in the proper direction.
without the right man in the right
place it will be difficult to secure a
healthy and honest public service. Such
q man as President will have secretaries
and leading officials in the departments
who will carry out his will and thus in
fuse the spirit of economic reform. The
right man in the White House then, is
highly important.

DEVELOPMENTS go to show that Star
Route Dorsey was the savior of his
party in 1880, taking the whole manage
ment of the campaign and putting
energy and victory into it. He gave In
Iiana attention and carried it in OctO-
Der, and then elected Garfield and Ar
thur in November. The Democrats had
no leader and organizer to infuse spirit
aud confidence, and hence failed.

Hon. Sam. S. Fifeld, our brand
new Lieutenant Governor, presides
over the body with ease and dignity
Members of that body say they have
no one who can fill the chair more
ably or acceptably than Mr.. Fifeld
There is an air Of grand gorgeousness
lowering around the chair Of martial
magnifcence-a halo of efulgent
splendor dazzling the eye, inspiring
TO the soul and ennobling to the
mind. But, my usual nonsense aside,
which Sam" and others know, like
Guiteau ! am not responsible for,
Northern Wisconsin has good reason
TO feel honored in her representative.

=" And right here we desire to
call attention to the fact that Duluth
harbor leads all others on Lake Su-
perlor III respect to safety, depth of
water and freedom from ice. On this
18th OF January vessels can pass in
and out of our canal with no obstruc-
ton whatever from ice. Ashland
harbor was closed Dee. 3, and Su-
perior harbor was closed Nov. 10. and
this is point in Duluth's favor that
practical business and railroad men
will not overlook. Two or three weeks
lengthening of navigation in the fall,
even if there should be nothing else
in Duluth's favor, will settle the ques-
ton Of the commercial supremacy of
this port. t."
We clip the above extract from the
Lake Superior News, published, of
course, at Duluth. 1t sounds well,
and looks well in type, but in point
of fact it is all bosh. AS a harbor
Duluth has no practical advantages
over Superior. Her little canal
through Minnesota Point is open, it is
true, and so is the natural channel
from the lake into Superior bay, be-
low this city, but the Bay itself is closed
against navigation in its entirety, and
shipping can be done just as well at
one point as the other, except that
the carriage would be q trife shorter
at Duluth than here The assertion
that the Duluth harbor Is the best on
Lake Superior will cause a broad
grin to app ear on the faces of the old
captains who have been so frequently
tossed about at the mercy Of the wind
/ and waves of that most dangerous
port, and even what she has got, is
all homemade and has to be main
tanned at an enormous expense, and
a reasonable depth of water can only
be maintained by constant dredging.
We have no disposition to find fault
with Duluth, her harbor or her peo-
pie but We think the quill drivers
over there should show a reasonable
1 degree Of discretion when footing
their horns. They are evidently in a
bad way over there if they can only
hope to exist by belittleing their
neighbors, and advancing false ideas
as to their commercial advantages or
Importance. The most ignorant has
only to see to be convinced, that the
Superior harbor is so far ahead of the
Duluth harbor that the two are not
on g comparable basis.

-The Farrn Daily Rennhlica1

The Fargo Daily Republican in
a recent issue referring to the North
ern Pacific road, Superior and Fargo,
says, 'Ghe Northern Pacific having,
by its branch connection with Su-
perior City, made that excellent har-
Dor tributary to this point, &c. "
Please, Mr.. Republican, we are not
located on a BRANCH OF the Northern
Pacific road, but we are on the lake
terminus of the MAIN line of that
very important road. Duluth and
St. Paul, towns $50 miles apart north
and south, both claim to be on the
main line Of that great east and west
road, and both alike call it branch"
that comes to Superior. In point of
fact it don't matter much what thew
claim, for FACTS are more stubborn
things than fiction. And, Mr.. Re
publican, how would it sound to say
that this rail connection with the
lake had made Fargo tributary to
Superior, rather than we had sudden
ly become tributary to Fargo. In
this matter the honors may be more
evenly divided, for surely the one
will help the other, but we think Su-
perior could get along a good deal
better without Fargo, than Fargo
could get along without Superior.

The Rev. Alfred Brunson, OF
Prairie du Chine, writes very inter
esting and comprehensive letter to the
State Journal, upon the Presidential
Inability question, now so promi-
nently before the country and Con-
gress. We have not space for the
letter, and although he does not dis
pose of the question, he throws out
some good and practical suggestions,
among them the following as an
amendment to the Constitution, which
ne thinks might relieve us of the pres
ent embarrassing situation:
"The Nice-President shall be ex-
officio a member of the Cabinet and
in case of the inability of the Presi-
dent from any cause to discharge his
powers and duties, declared so by HIM
self, if the inability is not mental, or
by the Cabinet if it is, the Vice Pres
dent shall act as President until the
disability is removed, and shall not
be required to preside in the senate
during the pro TEN. presidency, but
shall return to it at the expiration
thereof; Provided the Vice President
while thus acting president shall not
make changes or removals in the
Cabinet or in any office in the APP
pointment of the President except for
cause, not political or partisan, but
may fill vacancies or make new APP
pointments, when new offices are ere
ated bv Congress.

A NEWLY DISCOVERED INDEBTEDNESS
State Journal

State Journal.
During the war the general govern
ment levied a direct tax upon the
people Of $20,000,000 to provide for
the subsistence and maintenance of
armies in the field. Wisconsin's share
of this levy was S519,6SS.67. The
states were to receive credit for the
advances they made.
Recently Governor Smith made his
usual annual application to the Treas
ury Department for five per cent of
the net proceeds of the sale of public
lands in this state, which is due us by
law, to be applied to the school fund
a week or two ago he received a let
ter from the First Comptroller of the
Treasury, conveying the information
that OF the direct war levy of this
state, there still remained due the bal
ance Of S2O7 ,GS5. 16. The letter con-
tanned this clause
Under a recent ruling Of the De
partment, all sums found due to the
states indebted to the government on
account Of direct tax, should be APP
piled to the payment Of such indebt-
edness. The amount has therefore
been directed to be carried to the
credit Of the state on account of the
direct tax"
This was something new to the
Governor, who had never heard of
any balance due the government, under
this head, and he Immediately insti-
tuted inquiries Of the Treasury De
partment. The Comptroller replies
that all the other states which adj
heared to the Union, with the excep-
ton Of two or three small Western
states, have paid in full their proper
ton Of this direct tax and that the
eleven lnsurrectionary states have, in
the aggregate, paid nearly one half
of their proportion. 1t seems that
the account Of Wisconsin has not
been settled up, or the attention of
the state called to it, because of some
complication in accounts the state
having been paid some money direct
ly, in offset to its advance during the
war, while in other cases Its advances
were credited. But the account, as
at last balanced results in an indebt-
edness of over two hundred thousand
dollars.
OF course there remains nothing to
be done but a tax levy by the next
Legislature to meet this suddenly dis
covered debt, which will be as much
matter Of surprising news to our
people at large, as it certainly was to
the Governor, when his attention was
called to it by the general govern
ment.
