opinion Their Boss is their only constl-
tuent, and as for public opinion, they de
not knew what it means. They have gone
to Albany with the hope that their position
as anti -monopolists, holding the balance
of power between the political parties,
would enable them to attain posts of van
tage for the levy of blackmail upon corpo-
ra.ions. That pecuniary hope has been
dispelled as to the Assembly by the resolu-
tion and good sense of the Speaker. In
the Senate it is entirely possible that Hos
kIns may give them what they want on his
own account as we'll as theirs; but what he
can give them will do them very little good,
with the Assembly organized in the. inter
est of honesty and deccncy, and with Q
strong democratic minority in the Senate.
But If the Tamlnany men are irresponsl-
bic, at least the Republicans, the other
party to this bargain, are In some degree
responsible to public opinion. An open
Tammany- Republican coalition IN State
politics is the very worst thing that could
happen to the Republicans of New York.
The candidacy of Kelly in 1879 was virtu-
coalition of which the responsibility was
directly and unescapablY fixed upon the
Republican party, as is the coalition in the
politicians have been particularly anxious
to avoid precisely such public alliance
between their party and the Tammany fac
ton as has now been brought about in the
Legislature President Arthur is one OF
the shrewdest of these politicians, and al
though President Arthur, when he was a
local Boss, had no scruple about making
deals with Tammany in local politics to
control the Board of Aldermen or to pre-
vent the streets from being cleaned, Presi-
dent Arthur has been perfectly aware that
it would net do openly to extend the alli-
ance to StateIpolitics The Republicanilead
ers in the State have been aware OF the same
thing, and for a long time it has appeared
that Tammany strikers in the Legislature
would be idle for the same reason given by
the unemployed 1aborer in Scripture-be-
cause no man had hired them. Now, how
ever, it appears that the hankering of the
small Republican politicians for tho petty
offices of the two Houses, ccineiding with
the spite of the Tammany Assemblymen
against the justice of the Speaker, has suf
feed to override all the political sense OF
the Republican leaders at Albany. BY as
Stunning tho odium of the worst and most
corrupt element of New York politics the
party has lost a thousand votes
for every vote it can gain by the patron
age" it has acquired. With Kelly firmly
tied about it's neck in New York and Ma
hone in Virginia, the party of great moral
ideas is not in a position to command public

to the public archives. and form part Of
the current history OF a diplomatic nego
tiation. As an individual or private citi
zan, Mr.. Blaine had no more right to ap.
propriase them to his personal use than hs
would have to take away the Original
Declaration of independence, leaving an
engraved copy in its place. Who knows
what changes may have been made in the

the PRESIDENT
Putting aside the misdemeanor involved
in this act of purloining public papers, sus
picion is necessarily excited that the man
who confesses guilt in that respect, and
even glories in the trick, is also RESPONSE
BILE for the stolen correspondence. the pos
session of which he does not acknowledge.
The belief is general here, snd strong, that
Mr.. Blaine is fully informed how those let
tiers disappeared, and through whose in
.trumentality they got out of the depart
ment And, il they were not destroyed he
knows where they now are.
Unfortunately for the ex-Secretary, his
antecedents do not inspire confidence in
any explanation he may attempt to make
of this transaction. The Malligan Incl
dent, though not altogether fresh, is deeply
engraven on the public memory. Mr..
Mulligan was called to Washington as a
witness to establish serious charges against
Mr.. Blaine, and he held Mr.. Blaine's own
letter to prove these charges. On the
night of Mulligan's arrival at Washington
he was invited, with the other witness, to
visit Mr. Blaine's house. He decided to go
there. The next morning Mr.. Blaine went
to his hotel, and, as Mr.. Mulligan testified
under oath, he there besought him-on his
knees to save him from disgrace and his
ence between Mr.. Blaine and the witnesses,
at which every effort and appeal were made
to prevent the impending disclosures Mr..
Blaine visited Mr.. Mulligan in his room.
He there begged for the privileges Of read
ing the eliminating letters, in the hope of
being able to explain away their guilty adj
missio ms, and pledging his word to restore
them forthwith Mr.. Mulligan. in q mo-
ment Of confding weakness and perhaps of
sympathy for the broken man, handed him
the package, and Mr.. Blaine instantly
made off with it, and the correspondence
was burned. That audacious act prevent
ed a catastrophe at the time, which would
have finished the political career Of Mr..
Blaine.
If there were any real mystery about the
papers now missing, the Mulligan episode
would afford sufficient explanation.-I

cose and. oleomargarine are Objectionable,

is willing to acknowledge that 1.-THE power
of taxation is only conferred as means of

to witness this ACKNOWLEDGMENT, for the

To speak of land monopoly in a country

on land questions, as we do now on trans

The Moline Dispatch takes exception to
the charge made by the New York Tribune
and copied into and and commented upon
by the ARGUS that the true murderers of
President Garfield were the staIwart mem
bers of the republican party. The Dis
patch seems to be troubled with
the idea that the ARGUS is alone in this
charge, but in this it is mistaken. 1t has
good republican authority back of it and
not only the New York Tribune, but its
Chicago namesake, the Chicago Erentng
Journal, the Springfield Republican, and
the Philadelphia Times all have announced
their opinion on the subject. As Nichols,
who by the way it ill becomes the editer of
the puny Dispatch to call crank, has well
said the stalwarts have been very gently
treated in this matter but they cannot es-
cape the responsibility of their act. The
murder was the logical outcome of the ae-
tions of the stalwarts; it was committed by
stalwart republican and stalwart repub-
hcans have been benefited by it. 1t was

It is given out from the Department oil
State that q part of the correspondence re-

is missing from the files. The disappear
ance of these letters which are said to have
contained some important revelations. nat
urally exeites surprise.
II Mr.. Blaine was man easily embar-
rassed he would be placed in an awkward
position in regard to these papers. He has
done what no former Secretary ever ven
tured TO do--he has carried off into private
life copies Of all the official dispatches in
this Gillian and Peruvian business. More
than this, he has ops My exhibited TO sever
al persons what he claims TO be the origi-
nal drafts, with the emendations Of the in
structions to Mr.. Prescott. He has exhib

against the President. and to create the
impression that Gen Arthur has changed
front in regard to the policy which has
been contrived to sntrap him.

The Future OF Alaska.

With comparatively mild climate
throughout the Archipelago, with
most valuable ship-building timber
covering the islands, with acedar that
now sells at $50 per thousand feet in
Sitka; with splendid harbors and in
exhaustible fisheries, with an abund-
ance of coal, and the probability that
veins of copper, lead, silver and gold
await the prospector; with the possi-
bility of raising sufficient garden veg
etables, and with wild cranberry
swamps OH nearly every island; with
all these advantages 1t is surprising
that an Industrious, amphibious, ship
building, fishing colony from New
England, or other states, has not es-
tablished itself in Alaska. One draw
back is that congress has not yet or
ganized territorial government, but
when this region shall have been
opened up to individual enterprise
and settlement, it will he then discnv-
cred that Alaska is a valuable poses
sion.
