The National Park Improvement Co.

4
Upon investigation, w. p. Lamb
din's charge that the credit of the Ma
tional Park Improvement company i!
not good in the banks of Livingston
appears more substantial than we haC
at first thought. While we do no,
profess to have obtained any informa
ton upon the subject from the banks
whose custom it is to maintain entire
reticence toward a reporter in his pro-
fesslonal capacity upon such business
matters. we are yet inclined to give
full credit to the statements that have
been made to us. We are Informed
that checks approaching in aggregate
face value to the sum of $25 900 have
been issued by the National Park I'm.
provement Co. upon various bank
and that no funds are deposited to
meet them. Some Of these checks have
been issued two months and during
that entire time no money has been
placed in the bank upon which they
were drawn to cover them. A work
man for the company who was paid by
a check upon a Livingston bank, came
down here to draw his money day OF
two since, and as the paper was dis
honored, returned to Mammoth Hot
Springs saying that he would have his
money. even If harsh means were nee.
essary to obtain it. One check, at
least, has gone to protest and still re-
mains unpaid. A merchant who re.
ceived its checks in the course Of
trade has been holding some of
them for weeks and still is
unable to realize upon them.
Rufus Hatch when he was here a few
days ago promised to place money SO
that it would be available for the CON-
pany's local Indebtedness, but thus far
has failed to do so. There can be no
doubt but that the National Park In
provement company is good for all its
liabilities. and an i; definite amount
beside, but it is equally true that its
debtors are numerous. and many of
them among the class who can i'll af.
ford to wait for the money owed
them. We publish these statements
out Of no malice toward the company.

fingers of a young man who is "ful OF days

starting the Tribune TO loan Of $1,000, al

his note of hand. General Garfield had to
borrow money, when a young man, to build
himself home. The world is full oil in

the means of kind loan from some friend
who was able to offer it, And many worthy
and capable young men and women to-day,
who are full of energy and tact, might be

phatic in the West as in the East. In this
broad view Of the situation his nomination is
rendered eXpedent and practicable. That
his candidacy would be warmly supported by
the conservative influences of the country we
have no reason TO doubt and these would be
far more effective in the event of close con-

IRELAND'S MISERY.

The distress in the west of Ireland Is pitia.

are described as starving, and only kept
from death by scanty allowance of Indian

who has just gone through the district,
writes: ~ have resided many years in

Senator EdMunds for President

From tho 81. Adams Messenger.l
But much yet remains to be done to enable
the Republican party to enter the great con-
test of 1884 with something more than an
even chance of success. So far as principles
and policies are CONCERNED it is very well
equipped Tor the struggle, but it will need
to exercise the greatest wisdom and caution
in the selection Of Presidential candidate
1t should now be the purpose of every ee-
ment of the Republican party TO avoid un-
fortunate complications and irreconciablc
differences in the determination of this I'M
portapt matter.
Thus early This problem is receiving con-
siderable attention in Ill ctions of the coun-
try, and II ia admitted on all sides that har-
monious action Is not possible, except by
the selection of a candidate who IL not in
close utilization with either of the warning
factions so conspicuous in the New York
and PENNSYLVANIA contests last year 'and he
should be able 10 command the respect and
confidence of both claimants and thus unite
the party in common cause in 1854. 1t is
our deliberate judgment that no man is go
well fitted for this contingency as Senator
Edmunds, and VIC are gratfied TO find that
we have been anticipated in the expression of
this view by many leading Republican news
papers of the country, and notably In the
West. 1t may be said that the movement in
behalf of his candidacy has already assumed
creditable prof. orlions, The fact that he does
not seek the nomination, and may be reluct-
ant to accept It, ought to be no obstacle to
the growth of the movement in his favor
! but should rather serve to give 1t greater
impetus
1t need hardly be said that Senator Ed
munds has eminent aai peculiar qualifica-
lions for the high position Of chief magis-
tratc. His great intellectual ability, erddi-
ton, sagacity and force are recognized ev-
! erywhere; and his general knowledge and
comprehcnsiye grasp of public questions, and
| his constant vigilance in all that relates to
practical legislation and public economy, has
made him formidable Senatorial and party
leader. His record is fully before the coun-
try. 1t is direct and positive In It's principles
and policies, and requires no special review
II ths time.
In any discussion of candidates, the ques-
tons of personal availability, of location,
and OF party eNpediency arg naturally in
VOWED. On any of these grounds We regard
Mr.. Edmunds' candidacy us impregnablc.
His pre-emincnt ability, tho high qualities
of his craftsmanship, his unimpsachable
integrity, and the important consideration
that he has not been concerned in the party
fe,ids tl.st have wrecked thel political for
tunes of so many Of the great Republican
leaders, decides the question of availability
largely in his favor. As to the question OF
location there should be no controversy on
that account, Sectional pride and prejudice

sblvciing over Il fire of damp hay, almost
asleep under pile of filthy rags, the lain
dripping through the roof. Gases equally
heartrcndiug are common sights and all the
correspondents agree that the misery of the
people surpasscs all description.
OF course the failure of the crops has some
thing to do with the present condition OF
affairs but this destruction Is only an iuci-
dent in the causes which have led the pres
ent destitution and misery. 1t would be
strange if Ireland could escape another such
famine as she Inns had in the past after hav-
ing been so long in II perpetual state OF pollt-
beneficial results that have followed this agi-
tation. The prevailing poverty and famine
show what its effect upon the pco-
pie has been; and as 10 the English
Government, the agitation has only
increased the severity of It's iron rule.
The Marquis of Harrington declared in
n public speech, the other day, that the
Irish problem could only be met by firm de-
termination; that the law must be strength
