Misnanagsrnsnt and Bad Feeling.

From largo batch of correspondence con-
corning matters in ths Yellowstone park sent
to the senate yesterday by the secretary of
the interior 1t is shown that there have been
trespassing and depredations in tho park !;
that game has been killed and timber cut in
violation Of the rules for the government of
the park, aud that tho superintendent is
powerless to prevent such violations of the
law. 1t is also shown that there is great
deal Of bad feeling between the improvement
company's people and tine superintendent.

DEATH TO PERSONAL
POLITICS."

Was the political watchword an.
nou,oed in ringing accents by. Geo
ID Robinson, of Massachusetts,, in
hi mastery speech accepting the
Republican nomination for Governor
of the old Bay State, on the 10Th
day Of September 1883, in Music
Hall, Boston, as he enlisted for the
political humiliation of Benz. F, Bat.
Ter. "Death to personal politics" is
the only safe political platform. The
Office should seek the man, not the
man the Office, and it is always safe
to say that the man who goes into
the field to seek political nomina-
ton has an AK to grind and he de-
ponds on the people to turn the
grind stone. And as consequence
the people generally get sold out,
and are not we'll served by these self
selected servants. In the language
Of Geo. d. Robinson, let the people
say with one mighty voice, death

Exploration I'm Australia.

An exploring party, under the lead
ership of Mr.. Charles Winnecke, an
experienced explorer and bushman,
has just made a successful journey
through large portion of unknown
country in the interior of Australia.
The party was provided with camels
required. Mr.. Winnicke made q start
from Cawarrie station, on the Warbur-
ton river, in latitude % degrees, and
traversed the country to the north as
far as latitude q degrees, effecting a
connection with previous explorations
near Goyder's pillars. A most re-
markable natural feature in tho Tail
ton range was discovered by Mr.. Win
nicke during his Herbert river explora-
tons. Several long stages without
water were encountered a few days af-
ter the party left Cawarrie station, and
distance of 100 to 800 miles had to be
traversed across the highest sand ridg-
es in Australia before water couldbe OBJ
tanned. The camels behaved nobly, al
though carrying immense loads weigh
ing between 700 and 800 pounds each.
The party had recovered sufficiently in
two days TO make Jne second stage OF
about 100 miles without water. Many
long stages of between 100 and 200
miles without water were travelled, and
although the leader was far from well
during the greater part of the time, the
discipline and order of the party were
such as to prevent the occurrence of
any mishap. In many instances the
sand ridges. which were from 800 to
400 feet high, and very steep, had to
be crossed at right angles. Two large
rivers and an extensive range were dis
covered near the Queensland bounda-
ry, and altogether Mr.. Winnicke sue
ceeded in mapping about 40, 900 square
miles of unknown country, which will
help to fill in another large blank space
on the map of Australia. Sydney

evening came out squarely for Ben.
Butler for President. That looks a
little strange. Hitherto the News
has been the consistent advocate OF
free trade-Ben Butler is a square
out protectionist. Hitherto the News
has been an anti-monopoly paper
Ben. Butler is the centre soul of mo-
nopolists, the owner of the celebrated

Massachusetts, and has made his
millions out of this corporation,
which pays the least money for the

convict themselves of mercenary

we are given our way all will be well,
