The Secretary of the Treasury has made an
other contribution to trade-dollar literature.
It is more in the nature of ancient history than
anything else hut it ought at least to dispel
finally the delusiye hope which some persons
seem to entertain, that either the President or
the Secretary of the Treasury will take some
steps soon to redeem this superfuOus coin at
more than its commercial value. Neither of
these officials can do this as most people, except
the trade-dolar purchasers, have known all
along Secretary Folger quotes Secretary
Sherman as saying that possibly in time this
coin will find ready market in China at nearly
its face value. Spectators who are "long" in
trade dollars may be encouraged by this
statement; hut people who have refused to take
them during the last few weeks need not yet
begin to regret their caution.
Thoughtful workmen with families on their
hands ought to rejoice in the resolution
of the Manufacturers Union not to dis
continue the lockout of the cigar makers
until the demand that certain men shall
be dismissed from the employ of Of
tenberg g. Brothers has been withdrawn.
The only offence of these employees to whom
the Progressive Union objects, is that they
them work through a foolish strike
chen the leaders of the Progressive Union,
merely to tighten their hold on their followers,
declared war on these sturdy laborers. Ten
thousand men were thrown out of employment.
1t is hard to see how any intelligent work
man can approve of such an attempt to crush
the independence of bis fellows.
Tho Eodarol has acted VisplV in
ordering the sanitary inspection OF all vessels

likely that the rumor that cholera has appeared

be found there first; but it is highly desirable
all the same that every possible pre-

1t seems possible that henceforth those I'M

Mr.. Gladstone has avoided defeat by retreat.

NJ. De Lesseps was highly favorable to the

to fill certain other unimpOrtant positions; ana
the tolls were to be slightly reduced. In re-
turn the British Government was to let NJ lie

This practically left the whole control OF the

men who are unwilling to accept English oc-

interests of the Republic; but to those who be-
lieye that England is in Egypt to stay, and
that there is no use to deny 1t, 1t naturally
seems ridiculous to throw away the advan-
tages of the position. So Mr.. Gladstone has an
nOunced that the agreement will not be sub

PRAISE FOR PLUMB.

The Manhattan Nationalist has stood prac.
tically alone among newspapers Of Kansas
in assailing Senator Plumb, but in the cur.
rent issue is found the following:
When the Indian bill was under discussion
Senator Plumb offered an amendment pro-
viding that the appropriation for the educa.
ton Of Indians at Carlisle shall cover also
the cost OF transportation. In his remarks
upon the amendment he expressed the
opinion that the government was educating
these Indians on wrong plan, and that the
education given does not increase their ca
pacity for self support. The true plan
would be to teach them the arts and employ.
ments OF civilized life and then let them 60
and be absorbed in the community, instead
OF sending them back to the reservations
where there is no useful occupation for
them and where their common school edu-
cation is useless. In this he was undoubt-
eddy right. The sooner the Indians can be
absorbed into the general community the
better. The effort should be to dissolve the
tribal relation instead of perpetuating it..
As fast as an individual Indian becomes able
and willing to support himself, he should be
encouraged to take his portion and set up
for himself.
MIR. Griffin takes sensible view Of the
matter and his course is to be commended.

The postoffice appropriation bill will be

January. When it is brought up for consid.

stead of January LIST, 1854, as provided for
| by the House. In referring to this matter
Third Assistant Postmaster General Hazen
said to-day that ii would be impracticsble
to make the change as early rs July. he
claims there would be . surplus Of three
cent stamps on hand at that time that
trouble would arise in adjusting the accounts
with the postmasters, and the commissions
for fourth class postmasters on the sales of
| stamps would not be settled. In reply to
these objections Senator Plumb says he does
/ not believe there will be a surplus Of stamps
on July let, as the postmasters will have
nearly six months after the passage Of tho
bill for disposing Of their supply. II there
is surplus, he says the three cent. stamps
can be used for mail matter requiring more
than two cents. In regsrd to the trouble
that may arise in adjusting accounts, Mr..
Plumb says that difficulty will be encoun-
tered anyhow and might Is well come first
as last. Concerning the plea In regard to
the payment OF fourth class postmasters, The
senator thinks the people and not the OFF,
cials should be considered. These COM
missions, however can be determined upon
before the first of July. The bill will pass
theSenate before the first Of February, thus
giving the country five months to prepare
for the reduction. Senator Plumb feels

Mr.. Plumb thinks that no attempt will be

however, and believes that before long It l
will be accomplished. In speaking Of the
subject this afternoon, he said that perhaps |

It would not be feasible to postpone 1t, and

Senator Ingalls, returned home to Atchi

his family. While stopping over in Chicago
he was interviewed, and said among Other
things that, at is all reform in Washington
now," and that he thought all the pending
bills in that direction would be passed dur.
fng this session, including the civil service
bill and the tariff and internal bills. Con.
corning Kansas matters, he expressed the
opinion that Senator Plumb's reelection
might be considered certain; and being ask.
ed il he looked for a repeal of the prohibi.
tory amendment, he replied as follows
"No; for in order to have it resubmitted to
the people it is necessary that bill to that

ANOTHER APP0RTIoNNHNF.

The EAGLE announced some three weeks
ago that 1t had two plans for apportioning
the State In congressional districts, at which
time we submitted one of the plans. Unex.
pectedly, in day or two afterwards. we
were called away from home, but we learned
Afterwards that the Atchison Champion liter.
ally tore our labor Of love into q thousand
shreds, because, forsooth, two or three coun.
ties were left out by the "intelligent COM
positor,". although the aggregated figures
were given correctly. 1t was splendid APP
portionmcnt, doing justice to all sections
and pocketing no Congressman-e elect. But
rs Atchison and Leavenworth seem deter
mined not to work lovingly together we SUBJ
init our second plan, which we think cannot
fail to commend itself to the sound judgment
OF the unprejudiced, as strict attention has
been paid to the community of interests Of
each subdivision.
1t will be observed that while the seventh
district IL quite extended in territory its
population, nevertheless, 10 quite rs compact
as that OF any other.
We are sorry that we failed to see the STRIFE
lures OF the Champion, but now that we have
graciously given each commercial center q
district, and each district Congressman,
there remains nothing further but the favor
able action of that body known as the Leg
islature.
There remains yet another consideration
which pre-eminently marks this apportion.
ment for craftsmanship above all other
schemes yet offered, consideration that mel.
Their the Atcbison Champion or Leayepworth
7imes can fail to note. and that is, it renders
the reelection two years hence of every one
of our present Congressman possible and
even probable, providing they should prove
worthy, and leaves every candidate who was
defeated in the last congressional convention
spiendidly located for another effort. Be-
sides, this apportionment has still another
advantage Of being given to the world by the
author Of The present apportionment which
has developed three statesmen, and in many
other ways proved such a blessing TO the
State. All in all. we don't say that this map
ping might not be equalled, but we do assert
that Ii cannot be beaten:

CIVIL SERVICE.

The Pendleton civil service bill after very
many amendments, passed the Senate last
week, and lie now before the House. There
are various opinions about the bill o. pass.
cd. 1t is claimed that 1t will result in keep
ing federal officers In position indefinitely.
That so long as he is good officer he can't
be turned out. Others deny the position
and claim that the bin will relieve senators
and members from political pressure and
the distribution Of political patronage. Al
ter careful readings we believe the bill
means nothing in particular. The bin will
hardly pass the House this session, and next
session the Democrats will be in the majori.
ty and will snow it under forever. The
Democrats count on the next president and
do not desire beng hampcred in kicking out
old Republican officers.
