IrI believed that on General Sher- mans return from the Yellowstone, that the military division of the Northwest, will be merged into the division of the Missouri, that being the most important command in the country. Thls con- mand will go naturally to General Han- cock, but it is understood that he will wave his right preterring rather to re- main in New York. Next on the list IS General Schofield, who, 1t Is believed would rather stay Tn San Francisco other things being equal, but would rather take the division of the Missouri than have it go to his junior General Pope, m which case he would make St. Louis his headquarters.

THE Freethinkers recently held their annual convention in Rochester, New York, on which occasion they indulged in quite large amount of free think ing and free talking. Dr. T. L. Brown, of Binghampton, president of the asso- citation, paid his respects to God and Christianity in an address an hour long upon the subject. "Who are Freethink- ers?' The general tenor of the address, which was received with applause throughout. We can show," says the doctor, ''by the best evidence, that the more orthodox a man is, the more liable he is 10 be criminal. No one of sense will deny the criminality of John Cal yIn. He had more meanness and hell ,sh revenge in him than can be found in any working radical freethinker, living or dead. Can you find a scientist, inf del or any kind of a freethinker who did as mean a deed as the murderer John Calvin?" We imagine that our orthodox brethren will not love the doc tor very much for this charge of murder against John Calvin. But would not these treethinkers do vastly more good If they would point out a way of better ing the condition of man, than to abuse the dead of tbe past? It seems that they are like many other organizations which have existed in the past. They think more of converting people to their way oi thinking than they do of doing good to mankind. The proving of au abstract question is a useless undertaking unless there is some good to come from such proof If these Freethinkers will 70 to work and build workshops and give en- ployment to the unfortunate poor, and help them and put them in a way of be- coming self-supporting, or will build q few almshouses for those who cannot help themselves anything that will bet ter the condition Of mankind-they will have been oi some use to the world. They are now doing no good whatever.

THE very best evidence that can be offered that the Kansas prohibition laws do not prohibit, IS the large number of United States hcenses granted to deal CTS in liquor. It IS not reasonable that they take out licenses just for the fun of the thing, and it IS safe to conclude that when they pay for Governmen; license that they must have something in return for if.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.

The Northern Pacific Rallroad-we
 may say-Is completed. Through trains
 will be running from St. Paul to Pugets l Sound in the course of a feE weeks. Mir
 Willard has on hand number of foreign
 stockholders, Co show them what he has been doing, as well as what resources the country possesses to support such L
 road. He has selected the very best
 season of the year for the purpose; the
 immense wheat crop of Dakota Is ready
 for shipment; thousands of immigrants
 are settling along the hue of road; towns
 and cities are springing up as f by
 magic; immense herds of ca tle may be
 seen roaming over the plains of Wyom-
 ing and Montana, and us they pass on
 west they again come into the grain
 producing regions ot Washington Terri tory and Oregon, supplemented with their immense forests of timber and in- exhaustive deposits of coal We are of the opinion that these foreign bond holders will return satisfied with their investment. The bears of New York have been crying dewn- \ prtherD Pacific, and have succeeded in lowering the stock, hut they will hardly be able to keep It down.
 While the Northern Pacific can never successfully eompite with the Central and Southern Pacific, for San Francisco and California freights and passengers, the local business along the line will go far towards making the road a paying investment. Even the revenue ot. the Central, which is as yet, he most direct | road reaching out toward the East, IS l largely made up of local business. The country along the line of the Northern Pacific contains less waste land thaa | any of our overland routes, consequently, ] the chances for settlement and develop l ing the country are equal to that of any | other, notwithstanding the severity of | the climate. The agricultural lands ex- tend further west than they do on the Union Pacific, while the grazing coun- try Is fully as good us that of Colorado, Utah or Nevada. The bears may run the stock of the Northern Pacific down, put We predict that theroad will steadily grow and increase, and that the road VIII prove to be of great benefit to the country and fair investment for those who have put their money iu It.

THE London Telegraph IS authority for the statement that the foundations of the English throne are getting weaker and weaker annually and that the English people are changing every day and drifting more and more into repub- licsnism.

The Phenix Gazette in referring tC
 the dispatch recently published in the CITIZEN from Globe, in relation to the Indians being off the reservation says
 Agent Wilcox abolished passes ol the reservation except for special purposes which were always set forth in the pass He held to the opinion that so long as the Indians are fed by the government, that they have no business off the reser- vation. Since military rule has been substituted for that of civilian, a new order of things prevail, and tine tagged and petted rascals are allowed to roam at will over that portion Of Arizona set apart as a reservation for white men. Perhaps thls Is to show them that "we are not afraid Of them This Is in ac- cordance with Gen. Crooks teachings. He says "it will not do to disarrn them, for they will then think We are afraid of them. and that to take the arms from an Indian breaks hls heart" It matters little how often they break the hearts of the white people-or break their heads for that matter, so long as they are not grieYed. How much longer this farce can go on without an open rupture, it l. impossible to foretell, but it is safe to say, that the storm will break and and with such force as will make all other wars appear as mere skirmishes before the battle.

Ar a recent convention of the Pres byterians in California the Rev. Dr. Robertson, late of this city, told what he thought of the Indians, Meucans and white heBthen' of Arizona, and reflected quite severely upon Tombstone in psrti- cular. 1t might interest Caliiornians to know what the people of Tombstone think of Dr. Robertson. ."-Epitaph.

TIE Courier des Etats Unis thus re- fers to the death of the Count de Cham bord: "The event will cause neither sur prise nor emotion. It has only his toric importance, and for the present al least will have no political effect. The length of his illness has exhausted all speculation oR its consequences. The death of the Count de Chambord Is in reality an advantage for the Republic not, as has been sad, because it sup. presses monarchial competition, but be- cause in suppressing the principle of a legitimate monarchy it suppresses at the same time the principle of a constitu- tional monarchy. which is hali way to- ward popular government"
