can into active service every democrat,
Young, and old. and drill them for the
work of the approaching campaign. That
this win be done is manifested in the tone
of the public prints. Our exchanges
everywhere are full of the most encourag-
ing intelligence concerning the work OF
thorough organization that local leaders
are arranging for.
As to our ability TO sweep the state next
fall there is no question, provided the pre-
linninary work already begun shall continue.
Thorough district organization is the one
great thing needed, and we are assured
that this is the work to which the local
leaders of the party are bending their
best efforts. Individual voters too, are be-
coming deeply impressed with the import
ance of the approaching elections, and in
the Office and counting room, in the mill
and the mine, at the factories and the fur
naces, on the farms and in the obscurest
school districts, democrats are discussing
the great battle of 1882 with a fervor that
means business, and with an ardor that
inspires confidence and hope in a success
full result both in our state ticket and con.
gressional and representative districts.
That the democrats will have majority
in the next Congress no well posted person
viii deny. Then let Illinois not be laggrad
or behind in this work. The Legislators
elected this fall viii soon chose successor
to David Davis. Let us go to work now
and leave no stone unturned to give that
place to democrat who win reflect credit
and honor upon the party. and who will,
when elected. be found battling for legis
lation that will bring the greatest good to
the greatest number.
We modestly. though earnestly suggest tc
county central committees who have not
| already acted, the propriety of early coun
tY conventions. When our candidates are
in the fight they viii go to work and or
ganize the rural districts, and this will
not be so effectually done in any other
way.

John Bright once said that force was no
remedy, and the new policy of Gladstone
was in accordance with that expression
1t is humiliating to see q paper like the
London Times, which claims that the as
sassinationis chargeable to Ireland and the
Land League. advocate a policy of force
again in Ireland. Why, it was nothing
but force that the assassins used. The
only difference would be that one would
be legal (?) and the other Illegal.

lowed the false direction: and the acual civil

ncidiiy of mind and without largeness of tem-

to acquire them, and to learn the necessity for
us to s1ive'' as Emerson says, "from greater
depth of being" The sages and the saints
alike have ALWAYS preached this necessity; the
socaled practical people and neu of tho
world have always derided it. In the present
collapse of their wisdom we ought to lind 1t
less hard to rate their stock ideas and stock
phrases, their claptrap and their catehwords
at their proper value, aud to cast in our lot
boldly with the sages and with the saints.

IT transpires that the outbreak of Indians
at the San Carlos agency in Arizona is not
wanton. In this, as in so many other cases
of the kind, the attendant circumstances
were such as to excuse, if not to justify, the
violence which they induced. About a year
ago some valuable deposits of coal were dis
covered on the particular reservation in
question, and of course an effort or series
Of efforts were Immediately begun to dispos-
sess the Indians of SO desirable property.
Other plans to that end having failed, 1t
was lately proposed to remove them by force
to another reservation, and it was this that
led to the present revolt. OF course it was
very wrong of the Indians to oppose the
white mans wishes, and to attempt to repel
force by force, but as they are only hsman
after all, their conduct is not unnatural

THERE can hardly be two opinions as to
the expediency of passing the bill to increase
the clezical force of the Pension Office.
The work of that department is very much
in arrears, and ess the number OF clerks
is increased, the arrearage will grow larger
and larger. This is a state of things which
imperatiyely calls for remedy. 1t is not
only great hardship to claimants, but it is
prejudicial to the public interests, for 1t is
obvious that the examination OF claims nee
essary to prevent imposition is made more
imperfect as the lapse of time extends. The
older the claim is, the greater must be the
difficulty of satisfactorily sitting the evil
dence upon which it rests.

A GERMAN physician has discovered that
consumption is a parasitic disease which
may be artifcially communicated. This is
an interesting piece of information, but its
practical value is not Immediately apparent.
If DR.. Kock can go step further, and show
some available means of preventing the in
roads of the parasite by which the human
lungs are attacked with such terrible effect,
he would take very high rank among the
benefactors of the race. Perhaps the day is
coming when some such safeguard as has
been found so effectual in the case OF small
pox will be found to protect us from con-
sumption, disease which is said to cause
one-seventh of the total mortality of the
world.

Lowell would not be human il he did not
