TREASON IN THE CAMP.

There now comes the startling news from
Washington that even the Presidents cabi-
net il not agreed upon his candidacy for a
second term. There are one or two gentle
men whom Mr.. Arthur has assisted from
obscurity who would like to be President
themselves. The most conspicuous of these
are the Postmaster General and the Secre-
iary of War. There is also faint suspi-
cion that the presidential bee has been hum
ming in the bonnet of the Secretary of State.
But that is scarcely possible. There is a
gross absurdity, indeed, in the supposition
that Mr.. Frelinghuysen could summon to
his aid a degree Of mental activity neces-
sary to conceive an ambition for anything.
But whether there is division in the cabi-
net or not on the question of Mr.. Arthurs
candidacy, there is certainly very wide
division of sentiment in the party. No
presidential aspirant has ever come before
the people under more unfavorable auspices.
All of his policies have been blunders. His
attempt to reconcile the two wrongs Of the
party was failure, and his Southern coali-
ton was stupidity. Malone is not very
large, but he is sort of old man of the sea
who has got astride of the Presidents neck
and is riding him to death. So far as the
Democrats are concerned they would rather
like to sec Arthur nominated. He would
be the most easily beaten man in the country
and large element of the Republican party
would assist in its accomplishment.

one cent elsewhere, be made uniform by re-
ducing it everywhere to one cent. Reference
is made TO the long -mooted proposition that
the government should assume the same
control over the telegraph that 1t has always
exercised over the mail, but the President is
unable to accord his approval 10 the project.
The suggestion is made, however, that the
government should be authorized TO exercise
some sort of supervision over interstate tele-
graphic communication. The fees of Jurors
and witnesses in the Federal. courts, fixed
by laws of old dates, are insufficient. II is
recommended that they be increased, and
that district attorneys and marshals be paid
by salaries, rather than at present, by fees
a change which, it is suggested, may dimin-
ish the number of prosecutions made merely
for the sake of fees. Congress is invited TO
consider the important question whether
Federal aid may not with propriety be ex-
tended to public primary education in parts
of the country where the per centage Of Hit
eracy is high. The failure of the anti-po-
lygamy legislation of March, 1882, is cited,
and the strong recommendation is made that
Congress repeal the act upon which the ex-
isting government of Utah depends, assume
control of the Territory, and establish in
authoritya commission with powers fitting
it TO deal effectively with the Mormon pro-
blcm. The question of regulating interstate
commerce is presented for consideration.
The right of railway corporations to reason
able profits is conceded, but Congress should
protect the people from injustice. The effects
Of the civil-rights act in the short time dur
ing which 1t has been in operation are pro-
nounced beneficial. The act passed by the
Senate at its last session regulating the
presidential succession is recommended to
the favorable consideration of the present
Congress. 1t is asked that the Executive be
empowered to veto particular items of an
appropriation without impairing the validi-
ty of other items which meet his approval.
In concluding, the President recommends
the passage of a new civil-rights bill guar
anteeing to the colored citizen the rights
secured to him by the fourteenth amend
ment-Bdit0. Sun

Carlisle Chosen Chief.

Mr.. Editor The exciting race for the
Speakership has ended in victory for Mr.
Carlisle. In our opinion this is an excellent
beginning for the Democratic House. With
presidential contest so near, the selection
of Speaker was matter of great impor-
lance. In addition to the fact that legisla-
ton will be moulded to a considerable extent
by the committees appointed, the choice of
the presiding officer has shown the main
principle which will inspire Democratic &C.
ton. Against the election of Mr. Cox, a
polished orator, fine parliamentarian and
sagacious statesman, we had no objection 10
urge, except that we rather preferred Mr..
Carlisle. Mr. Randall, on the other hand,
though acknowledged by all to be OF dis
tinguished ability as chairman, and not
less admirable as leader on the floor, was
certainly not the man to stand as the repre-
sentative of the Democratic party. His
opinions on the all-important issue of the
tariff differ from those of protectionists, on
ly by shade. But in Mr.. Carlisle the party
has found leader who, while equally able
with his competitors, is at the same time a
bright exponent of its doctrines. During
the canvass il was claimed that the choice
of Mr.. Carlisle would be so severe shock
to manufacturing interests as TO destroy the
argument, then, was, elect Mr.. Randall that
you may go into the contest of next year
with united forces. Now, we do not believe
that any considerable portion Of the Demo-
cratic party will bolt because Mr.. Carlisle
has been made Speaker, and the party has
thus taken firm stand on the tariff ques-
ton. But if the statement were true, ii
would still be short-sighted and temporiz-
ing policy for the majority of Democrats
to abandon their honest belief, TO abjure
their promises made to the people, and TO
blot their record that they might win an
election. Surely the lesson of experience
should teach us something. Democrats have
earnestly proclaimed the folly and wicked.

DESPERATE STRAITS.

1t is quite evident that when the Repub-
leans get down to the bloody shirt they are
in very desperate straits II is the last ditch,
as 1t were, and the party, when it comes to
that issue, resembles nothing so much as a
badger in hole. Every other expedient
has been resorted to and failed. With the
departure of the colored vote the last plank
upon which IL trusted has been shivered.-
Unless that vote can be recalled it is all up
with the party OF great moral ideas for a
generation at least But VIC distrust the
bloody shirt as q safe reliance IL comes too
quickly on the heels of the exploded civil
rights law. IL is too evidently an expedi-
ent and an apology. Political conditions
are not what they were ten years ago. Re-
construction then was an experiment. The
colored people were distrustful and suspi-
cious. Their newly acquired freedom was
boon with which they were only partially
familiar Their minds were open to impo-
sition and their fears were easily excited
This apprehension the Republicans played
upon without stint. They conspired TO
alarm their timid auxiliaries, and Brighten
them into obedience to Republican man
dates. TO this end the outrage mill was put
in operation, and 1t ground its grist of hor-
rors with incessant and persistent regularity.
A large budget of tragedies was always on
hand, and the Northern heart was fired ac-
-eordingly Unhappily for the Republicans
they were not content 10 let well-enough
alone They kept il too long. The fraud
was exposed and the reaction set in. The
bloody shirt became limp and unsayory
garment 1t became, in the public esteem,
a symbol of all that was false and treacher-
GUS in politics-all that is repellent in fraud,
scandalous in mendacity and repulsiye in
shameless trickery and debasement. Ninety
nine out u every hundred OF its loathsome
stories were shown TO be maliciously false

was thpwn aside as 50 much rubbislI--the
political contributions OF gang OF unprin-
eiped carpet-baggers and adventures, or
ganized for pillage and licensed 10 steal.-
The country turned its back on the bloody
shirt, and the stories of assassination and
murder framed in its name excited only
disgust and derision. Naturally it ceased
10 be a political factor and will never more
he able 10 attract attention. 1t was bur
led in the grave Of Eliza PiHkston, and the
FOOLS Errand, by one of the fools. was its
apotheosis.

lord coLERIDGE AT HOME.

Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, of England,
who has just returned home from his Ameri-
can trip is showing to the English people u
great many points wherein this government
is superior to theirs, and is almost radical
in his attacks ON some Of the oldest and most
cherished principles Of the British Govern
meni.
He believes in the English principle of
two parliamentary bodies, one 10 offset the
Other; but here he declares the American
Senate is far superior to the b itsh House of
Lords. II is not an old fossil: il represents
-ome,hing-it has some power; whereas the
English House Of Peers, as a body, for
iunalely Possesses but very few powers
or privileges. IL dare not place itself in
direct opposition 10 the other and popular
branch OF Parliament, save ON some minor
or unlmportani question. by SO doing il
would 80 arouse the popular prejudice
against il that il would be- swept out Of
existence.
In fine, Lord Coleridge thinks this branch
Of the government out Of date, u relie Of
lendaism, based on q principle long since
extinct, that the mobiles possessed other pow
ers and privileges than the third estate Ii a
Senate was substituted in their place, a
body of men owing their positions to their
intelligence and ability rather than 10 their
descent and armed with some other power
than that OF mere drag, as the House OF
Lords is Today, he thought il would be
greatly TO the benefit oil England.

pie OF London. The Lord Mayor is elected
by the Board Of Aldermen, and Board OF
Aldermen elected by what is known as the
city guilds.
Lord Coleridge at this banquet plainly

ton ia the government Of the English CAPT.

II is probable that this warning will be
carried into effect very shortly. In fine. II

will soon become thoroughly Americanized,
and adopt many Of the principles Of govern.

WHEN THE President of this great
Republic, leading men of the ma
ton, mighty newspapers and prom
inent divines, talk as they are talk
ing now, about Utah one can not
help blushing for the craftsmanship
and reasoning powers of the coua-
try's leaders. Mr.. Arthur says there
are 1900 men and women-at least
tWo-thirds of the number neces-
sarily being women-are guilty of
wrong-doing, and he virtually pro-
claims that the fifty millions of
people with all the money and legal
machinery required at their back,
are powerless to deal with the in
significant handful without resort
ing to s'heroic" and outrageous
measures. The spectacle is indeed
a pitiful one, and suggests that il
