DOrsey's Confederation.

The Republican campaign in 1880
was one of the most audaclous and
mercenary ever made in any country.
The use of money in politics was not
new. That was by no means the first
instance of lavish expenditure OF q
corruption fund. But it was beyond
doubt the first example in America OF
wholesale purchase of the voters OF a
great State. Stephen w. Dorsey
" Steve, my boy as the lamented Gar
field affectionately addressed him
gives some details of facts which were
before well known in "a general way
about the Indiana campaign, and which
deepen the color of the infamy of the
whole Republican cabal then and still
in power. There is not the slightest
reason to doubt word that Dorsey ut
tiers respecting the shameless bargain
ing among leaders and the wholesale
spoliation of the Treasury for the pur-
pose of defeating a fair expression OF
the will of the people. Not only
was the country robbed through
the bureaus of the departments,
but the Treasury itself was pros
pectively administered and the public
debt manipulated to raise millions for
the corruption of voters. The record
of the last Republican campaign is the
foulest chapter in the history of the
long era of decentralization since the
civil war. 1t was not the vulgar
manipulators of the party, but its ac-
knowledged leaders and opponents of
opinion who were involved. The same
men are still in the front. The distin-
guished crowd which assembled at Del
monico's to indorse and adulate Dor
scy, in February, 1881, were as well
advised than as now of the means he
had used. They approved his methods
then and are in the enjoyment of the
fruits of them now, and are still the
dictators of the Republican party. Mr..
Arthur did not scruple to speak with
popularity, but strong commentator of
the corrupt tactics by which Indiana
and the Presidency were won. A sin
hundred thousand dollars in crisp two
dollar bills, and this was but one. in
stallment. More than two million dol
lars was stolen directly and in
directly for campaign purposes. As be-
fore said these facts are not new.
but they are now stated on the author
ity of one the conspirators who was no
deeper in the iniquity than the rest, but
of assassination have made a scape-
goat. Dorsey was to have a place in
the Cabinet for the effective expenditure
of the very money he has since been
tried and convicted in the estimation of
the public of getting by conspiracy and
robbery, and this with the full knowl-
edge on the part of his coadjutors of
every material fact since uncovered to
the public. The restatement of these
facts and the indubitable proof of them
from the mouth of one of the actors
give especial appositeness to the pro-
posed plank in the next Democratic
platform which is to read tersely:
Turn the rascals out" This is all
that is left for the people to do. This
is the only sort of rebuke or punish
ment which will have in it any fitness or
suficiency.-,St Louis Republican.

HeartlesS and Cruel.

The court and jury in the case of ex-
State Treasurer Polk, of Tennessee,
have done heartless and cruel thing.
They have brought down upon their
heads the hot wrath and fiery indigna-
ton of every Republican editor in the
land, by blighting and soaring and with
ering and otherwise destroying the edi-
torial and organic hopes and expecta-
tons.
When the Polk trial opened the organs
began to say, exul antly, eve shall
see." When the jury was impaneled
upon the customary plan of selecting
men who knew nothing about the case
or much about anything else they fairly
bubbled over with glee. Here is this
Democratic official,'' they said, .who
has been stealing with as much rapacity
as if he had been a born Republican.
and he is going to be tried and &C
quilted in Democratic State by
Democratic court and Demo-
cratic jury and turned loose on the
community to plumber again. And as
they thought how effectually such re-
suit would close the mouths of those
who spoke revilingly of Republican
reverence for rascality, as shown in the
whisky conspiracy and the Howgate
case and the Star-route prosecutions,
they chuckled with glee. During the
entire trial they were in fever of hap
py anticipation. Some of them, no
doubt, had their comments on the re-
suit set up in advance with instructive
''scare heads descriptive of the igno-
miny come upon Democratic critics of
Republican dealing with knavery.
To blast such fond hopes as these
with conviction and with sentence
such as no Republican rascal has ever
received, was an unspeakable outrage
upon the organs We sincerely pity
the Tennessee court and jury if they
ever fall into the hands of the Repub-
lican press of the country. Such an Of
tense as they have committed can only
be washed out with blood, and oceans
of it.-Detroit Free Press.

CONGREssMAN-ELECT FINERTY's re-
commentator to boycott the Pope has
already been adopted by the Irish-Ameri-
can Catholics to such an extent as to at
tract the attention of the Catholic clergy.
As in New York and Brooklyn, so in
Baltimore, there has been marked falling
off in the amount of the annual collection
of "Peter's pence At St. Johns Cath
olic Church, in the latter city, where a
congregation of 5000 worships, the con-
tributions reached only $40, whereas that
parish usually contributes from $500 to
$500. At the other Baltimore churches
a similar falling off in this special con-
tribution was noticeable. Father Nc
Dewitt, of St. Johns Church, seems to
have voiced the opinion of the friends
of the Irish Land League in the United
States when asked about Pope Leo's let
ter to the Irish clergy He said:
1t is simply a political! question, and
not one of faith and morals. cannot
see in this matter where the opinions of
the Pope are worth more than any other
prelate He is not King of Ireland, or
any other place that l know of, except his
own dominions. believe that the fur
ther apart church and state are kept the
better, and I agree with a sentiment pre-
viously expressed that Pope Leo knows
more about theology than he does of Irish
politics. As piece of policy and pru-
dence the Bishops and priests are COM
PEELED to listen to him in this matter, as
he could remove them should he desire
1t is different with the laity. If the Pope
spoke ex cethedra as the head of the
church on a question of faith and morals,
he would be infallible. But on political
questions his views are only the same as
any private Individual.

From a letter written to the Aledo
0ll.) Record by Thomas S. Sharpe, who
has been a resident of Hutchinson coun-
ty, Dakota, for the past five years, some
facts may be gathered that will enlighten
those who are contemplating settling IN
hat Territory. We quote some extracts
from Mr.. Sharpe's letter:
Persons East will do we'll to accept
with caution the reports from Dakota
They are written mostly by persons who
have never raised crop or seen one rails
ed. North Dakota is a wheat region.
South Dakota is not, and between it is
debatable land. | have lived here five
years on a homestead. There is plenty
of good water, but more bad, and some
have dug several wells before they hit
palatable water. A man can raise timber
very easily; orcharding has been tried
and determined.
have not seen a crop of wheat raised
twenty-five bushels per acre; have asked
old settlers and they have not. Last
year the Department of Agriculture made
the returns for this county at fourteen
bushels. This was rather light, but the
crop was the best in five years. Forty
bushels of oats and thirty-fve of corn
are good crops, and it takes five acres of
prairie 10 pasture a steer through sum-
mer Flax is3our main market crop, and
is fast running lands devoted to it. Many
who undertook sheep farming have given
it up. Cattle business is the most profit
able business at present, and the men who
run threshipg machines grow poor at it.
There is heavy immigration to this
Territory, and much of it of land-grab.
bing nature Six months fictitious resi-
dence then prove up, mortgage or sell
for $500 to $500, then leave Dakota or
repeat the game. making net gain OF
perhaps 5000 for the six months, IS the
prog ramme by thousands. And many an
honest pioneer takes his claim, tolls to
make home, and in year or two finds
himself almost isolated from neighbors
and debarred from the blessings of society.
IF grasshoppers or a failure of crops
occur this year, there will be a bigger
stampede than followed Moses of old.
Anyone intending to come to Dakota
Territory ought to be prepared to accept
the regular hardships Of pioneer life
Don't build your hopes on enormous
crops Every dollar you earn is well
earned. The busiest man in South Da
kota is Shylock. His grip is on some
quarter or more of nearly every section
and five years will see thousands of farms
in his hands.
1t seems from the above that Dakota i
not the land OF promise, flowing with
milk and honey, which many people hav
been led to believe, and Mr.. Sharpe
representations are abundantly corrobat
ed by others. The man who leaves Wis
consin for Dakota is going away fron
home, "and don't you forget it."

The suit of Mrs. w. D. Bacon, Of
Waukesha, against her husband for d.
Yorce, which attracted public atten-
ton for some time, has come to
conclusion, and both parties are presumed
to be satisfied Some days ago the par
ties appeared in court at Waukesha, and
the trial lasted less than half an hour and
a conclusion was reached without attract
ing public attention. The whole matter
had been previously arranged and no
contest was made. The original COM
plant was amended so as to call for a
complete divorce, OH the ground of nom
support. Upon this a decree of absolute
divorce was granted, and it is understood
that Mrs. Bacon is to resume the name of
Carpenter or Gibbs, probably the latter.
The terms of settlement are understood
90 have been that Mrs. Bacon retains all
presents she has received and be paid
$500 for expenses of attorneys, etc, in
this suit, and that she be paid $4,000
in cash, which payment was promptly
made.
