the Tewksbury Aims House. 1t is, in all re-
CARDS, an institution that illustrates the beau
tiesof Republican ruleeverywhere. This thing
of converting paupers into stifs for pur-
poses of traffic is branch of the spoils bust
ness, and Is as certainly the outhgrowth of
Republican methods aud ideas of govern
ment as John Sherman's bartering Federal
offices for perjury, Star Route stealing, or
spending 100000 in Indiana to buy votes
and bribs election officials to stuff ballot
boxes and falsify election returns. The
pauper stiff and skinning business for its
profits could have been carried on only in a
State utterly debauched by Republican rule.
And the Democratic party favors a sweeping
reform in the management of the Republican
Tewksbury Aims House. 1t demands that
Massachusetts, shall forever stop skinning
dead paupers, and of supplying the markets
of the country with pauper stiffs. The
Boston Herald, being Independent (?),
should raise its voice against Massachusetts,
Republicanism until the Tewksbury horror
is atoned for in some way. 1t should be able
to comprehend the fact that every depart
ment OF the Government under Republican
rule is a sort of q Tewksbury Aims House. and
the Democratic party goes before the country
with the motto emblszoned upon It's banner,
"Down with Republican Tewksburyisml"
which means clean out all the departments
of the Government and put them in charge
of honest men. Look into any monopolist
establishment protected by Republican leg
islatiou, and the exclamation. Here is a
Tewksbury Aims Housed" would be in
order. The purpose of these is to transform
employees into stiffs. and the SHINING process
begins upon the overtaxed and overworked
employees, before death sets its mark upon
them. The Herald may be assured that in
1884 the Democratic party will be fully
committed against Republican methods of
government Republican stif-skinniDg bust
ness will be everywhere opposed. The
Tewksbury methods of government will be
denounced, and Republican journals, wheth
er independent or dependent, will be
kept busy in explaining things. Repub-
licanism is Tewksburyism, and like Nor
monism, must 90.

MONUMENTAL MEN.

The suggestion has been made and is tax
ing shape to erect statue to Peter Cooper
by dollar subscriptions, as an expression OF
popular regard for the memory of the dis
tinguished and dead philanthropist. The
proposition will meet With response which
will promptly achieve success. The dollars
will roll in until Peter Cooper can have a
statue in every large city in the land. But
whether Peter Cooper has one or
a dozen statues set up in honor
of his greatness and goodness,
or no statue at all. Will not make the slight
est difference. Peter Cooper's name and
fame and deeds are all monumental. They
will live and. what is more. grow. When
an hundred years are gone Peter Cooper will
be larger in public esteem than now. 1t is
stated in the New York Mail and Express
that ''the erection of q monument to Horace
Greeley by printers was a very appropriate
tribute to man who had shown them how
rank in the profession Of journalism, but
Peter Cooper not only taught workingmen
by example, but also devoted large part of
his wealth 10 their instruction. Undoubt-
eddy many thousands of workingmen would
be glad to contribute dollar each to erect
a tribute to his memory. Let an opportun-
ity be given them, and let IL be known
that the site of the statue will be in the
little square at the south end Of Cooper Insti-

In discussing the relation OF Senator Nc
Donald and Senator Harrison to the next
Presidency, the Indianapolis correspondent
of the Boston Herald says:
1t is difficult to foreteI what effect Gresham s
appointment to the Postmaster Generalship viii

not a mere matter of conf lecture that Gresham and
he not friendly, but the fact Is well known
generally, and the appointment of the former TO
q Cabinet position was to no one more Of sur
prise and possibly. disappointment. than to
Harrison himself. Gresham is imperious. jealous
and grasping, and does not brook opposition II
his recent unlooked-for elevation results on his
fixing his eyes on something higher II may inter
fere with Harrison's chances and from this source
he has the most to fear. Since Gresham's ap-
pointment the Senator has disclaimed, privately,
the responsibility or credit for il, and the new
Cabinet officer realizes that he is in no measure
indebted to his Senator for his preferment. One
thing is certain and that is that Gresham's pres
ence in the Cabinet will be rather hindraRce
than benefit to Harrison In his efforts for su-
premacy.

Mrs. Harrison Thsyer, who lives on Jer

sneezing last Tuesday. After eight hours
continual sneezing the family became

only ease the lady by administering chloro

In speaking of the next Congress and the
next President the New York Sun thus
pointedly speaks:
The Democrats can secure the next President
only by carrying of the States that voted for
Garfield. The tidal wave of last fall gave them
six or eight such States. They must so manage
their party as TO hold enough of them TO meet the
emergencies of the campaign OF 1884. The drift OF
the current in the local elections this spring In
the Northern and Western Ststes is generally
favorable TO the Democrats.
On the conduct of the majority in the next
House of Represen tatives will mainly depend
whether the Democrats shall 60 into the next
Presidential contest strong and united. with the
greater part Of the enthusiastic following which
gave them such tremendous msjOrities last fall
or whether they shall begin the fight disintegrated
and quarrelllng among themselves, not even hav-
irg the confidence of their own party.

SANrAFE, N. NJ, March 31.-The Shake
speare Guards, Capt. Black, doing service
against the Indians, have made their ap-
pearance on the lower ella. Black moved
through the Skins pass, above the canon
route, usually taken by the Indians return
ing to Mexico. This together with the
fact that regulars were moving out on the
railroad, caused the Indians to cross the
plains into the Burr mountains.
Black procured fresh horses and
followed so closely that the
Indians were compelled to abandon
their horses and plumber, and took to the
mountains on the South Pacific road on
foot. When last heard from Black was in
hot pursuit. 1t will be difficult for noun
tain troops to follow into the mountains.
The movement INTO New Mexico is not a
raid, but an effort to get back into Mexico
by the least difficult route.

three prospectors yesterday because they
happened to be in the route of escape.
Black is reported to lave fought to-day
and lost several men, but it lacks confir-

His Latest Undertaking ia Efrica.
The interchangeable De Lesseps is starting
on a new adventure. In a few days he
will be in North America, on behalf of a
private company, to look once more into
the project of an inland sea in the desert
of Sahara to the south of the French
possessions. The project has baen often
talked of, but it was thought to be decisive
Iy condemned when the government COM
mission reported the other day that it was
not practicable. NJ. de Lesseps and his
company were by no means satisfied with
this conclusion. They sent an agent of
their own to make reports, and NJ. de Les
seps is now going to test this report for
himself. There were nearly a hundred
gray-beards, it appears, on the commits
sion, and NJ. de Lesseps thinks there were
too many by half. They came to the con-
c!usion that those parts ad iscent TO the sea
through which it was proposed to cut the
canal for flooding the low-iying region
were rocky and hardly to be pierced. 81.
De Lesseps declares they are of sand.
"They are ysry much above the sea level"

otherwise be a fresh water lake, as in the
