CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.

ONE thing at any rate, should be attended to at
once. The land laws should be amended at the
present session of Congress to the further
taking up of government lands by adherents of the
conspiracy against the Nation and its system. We
should at thus to aid d public enemy to
establish hostile power within our borders There
is a chance for craftsmanship to win laurels in this
NATTER and there is need for active leadership the
Mormon question in Congress.-New York CONNER

IF the world just making start, and every man
and every nation starting fair and equal footing
applied to all transactions of business nature; but
the world is pretty old, and people live under
greatly varying conditions, its application must be
modified by common Statesmen must study
practical political economy which is abstract political
economy modified by existing condition Of things
which acquired troublesome permanency before po
litical economy became science-LouisYille Com

In suspendng the further coinage of silver dollars
the United States would take the position as
that assumed several years ago by the bimealic ma
tions of the Latin Union-. O.. the principle would
be maintained, silver circulation would be protected
but we would stop our further enforced investment
in silver metal and make it an object of much inn
portance to Europe and Germany to the bmetallic
nations to help maintain the monetary position of sill
At all events the case could not have been ser-
ously preiudced by provisional suspension of coin
age.-Louisvile Courer-Journal.
THE Republican party has not controlled the legis-
lative branch of the but two years since
1878 and during those two years its hold upon both
Senate and House slight that could
a majority in the former muster a quorum in
the latter, Therefore it be fairly asserted that
since what Judge Tourgee styles the revolution b.
which the thirteenth fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments of the Constitution were practically nulGed
throughout the South the Republicans have not had
sufficient strength in Congress to prevent the present
condition of things.-Boston Journal.
THERE is large number of Republicans who labor
under the deusion that patronage is essential to the
maintenance of tho efficiency of party organization
Such is not the Tho Republican party has,
the whole been rather weakened than strengthened
by patronage In tho years that It is to DO in the
minority we believe that it will DO able to show as
great vigor and power of organization il has
On the other hand, we believe that the Democratic
managers will be eager for Office that the disap-
pontment of the many will seriously Interfere with
the harmony of tho party and the success of the
ganization.-Boston Journal
WE enter protest against the progress of the tyran-
nical discrimination against the blacks: the usurpa-
ton of the political power that belongs the black
Republicans of the South for capturing the high
places in the governments; and point 10 the qnes-
ton raised by the wrongful election of President and
the majority of tho House as tho that will swallow
up all others aud we tell the humorous persons who
are pleading that there shall be nothing said by any
body about anything that Is unpleasant that they
deficient In common understanding. and must make
up their minds witness with con,rosure the maies-
tic march of events.--Cne nnat Commercial Gazette
The Mexicans especially tho business men, have
faith in Diaz They believe in his honesty less than
in his capacity and no will promptly restore tho
dence impaired by the administration of Gonzales 1t
is a mistake, however to suppose there has boon any
abatement Of the friendship between Diaz and Com
zales which thew consecrated anew when they en-
braced upon the bloodstaned ground of Txacoac and
knew that they had caught from the revolution new
life for Mexico. Daz is the superior statesman and
seems TO better understand the Moods of his country at
home and abroad. His first administration gives
warrant of the excellence of the upon which he
has Just entered.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
WK have more than expressed the opinion that
the location of the Indian Territory unfortunate
for the development of the Southwest it is OBJ
structve to settlement and communication between
important States. With great and popuious States
arising all round It, the difficulty Of maintaining It's
elusive character will increase every year. But this m
question for the government settle Ii over il is
to be thrown open to the world the change mast he
effected in open and public manner under the
proper sanctions of law. Pending this event, not
even the compliance of local councils should be
sdered sufficient authority to enable private parties to
acquire control of valuable land within its boundaries.

THERE are large number of removals to be made,
of course and they of officers who have prosti-
tuted their positions to politics. but that the Presi-
dcntcloct Is going to work tn remove all officials
simply because they are Republicans is not reason
able. From tho utterances he has made, it is more
probable shat Mr.. Cleveland will content himself by
waiting un.i the forms of the officers expire. and then
fill them with Democrats, in the meantme discovering
who would lie tho best nppon tees While the change
"a making slowly, there. will be many burning and
broken hearts. Those who are Applying cannot be
