ARMY CONCENTRATION.

Gen. Sheridan Summons Gen. 4. a. Terry
to Washington to Consult Upon the At
fairs at Fort Smelling, Including the
Building of New Barracks and the Quar-
tering of a Large Number Of Troops
There. ..-
Washington, Special Telegram, March o.
"You have sent for Gen. Terry to come from
st. Paul to Washington" said your correspon-
dent to Gen. Sheridan, this afternoon
Eyes, replied the general, Il wanted Terry
to come down here and help me to secure an
appropriation for a new barracks at Fort Smell
ling. He is a good talker, and understands the
situation and the congressman take good deal
Of stock in what he says. do not know any
officerin the army who is more highly respect
ed or more influential than Gen. Terry We
want $500 600 to build a new post It will cost
more to fix up the present barracks than to
build new ones. We want new and a nice
one. It will cost about 100000, if the SOL
diers perform the labor, and will save all il
costs in one year. S@~, & a>~
'9How do you figure that out?' ! ~ n ES
TT is my policy to concentrate the army, as
far as car, in large and convenient posts: 1t
costs good deal less, and the railroad facilities
are SO good now all over the West that we can
send soldiers wherever they are wanted cheap
er than we can sustain them in the outlying
frontier posts. My policy is to concentrate
them at convenient points where the railroad
facilities are good St Paul is q
very convenient location. and + want a big
post there, with regiment of cavalry and
another Of infantry-say twelve or fifteen hun
dred men. They can go to Fort Keogh from

Flood on the Missouri,

Bismarck's fears of a food are in q fair way
to be fully realized. The formation of new
ice gorge at sibley island caused rise of water
during Thursday night, the. 26th, and the river
Friday was within five feet of the highest point
reached during the flood of 1881. The steamer
Black Hills was struck by floating ice and sunk,
causing a loss of $4,000 It is feared that the
damage to river craft will be extensive The
Northern Pacific is submerged between Bis
marck and Mandan, and travel from the West

Political Bosses.

4 somewhat notorious political boss
complains that the Independent press can
never see anything good in what he does
for the party. For once, the boss y has
stated results correctly The Independent
press does not see the good of such
services as men of his stamp render the
party. The manufacture of candidates is
a work best done in Convention. The
boss who sends in a slate with an init
nation that no other candidates than those
named thereon can be elected does not rem
der the party good service. The inference
that the names on the slate have given the
boss substantial reasons why they
should be favored is irresistible. \ Con-
ventiun may accept lambs who have
been shorn of their independence in adj
vance of nomination, but the people do not
vote for them with much hope of good re
suits. If they are elected II is choice
between evils The methods by which
political bosses here and elsewhere
manipulate Conventions are now so
well known that the prediction IS safe
that their day of power IS past. The

two tickets were not sufficient to constitute
am entire ticket, independent candidates
would be put up and elected. The mass of
the voters only fall into the hands of the
bosses" when the latter so cover up their
work that their tools cannot be designated.
II is pretty well known that the object of
political " bosses is to make money out Of
politics. Candidates pay for nominations
in the form of voluntary assessments. How
much of the money sticks to the fingers of
the boss" no one but himself knows In
the event Of the success of the " boss . in
nominating and electing his ticket every
industry in the State is at his mercy He
can attack here and there on one pretense
and another, and thus compel the repre-
sentatives of various interest," to buy him
off or to spend money to defeat him. Ihis

worked with such disregard to the real in
terests of the STATE, that session Of the
Legislature is dreaded as calamity. The
men who now stand in danger of condem-

the boss exempts from censure Those
who defy him are comparatively safe The

The Legislative Situation.
ILOs Angeles Herald.

Los Angeles Herald,
While the Herald deprecated the calling
of the extra session of the Legislature, and
while it thinks now, as heretofore, that it
would have been wise and eXpedient in the
Governor not to have called the Legisla-
ture together at this late day, we have re-
posed high hopes in the exceptional ability
aS Democratic leader in the Assembly of
Chief Justice Wallace In that tumultuous
body leader of conservative instincts and
moderate methods was a sine qua non to the
happy evolution of the work of the special
session While Judge Wallace has asserted
in resolutions proposed by him, certain
ringing Democratic principles which
will meet the approval not only of
his party but of the people we
are afraid that he is disposed to run
several popular propositions to the extreme
Since the pronounced uttcrances of Denis
Kearney there has been nothing SO rcvolu-
tionary in California as at least one of his
resolutions, and the proposition to tax the
gross instead of the net income of the rail-
ways, might really be made the medium OF
practical coniiscation of a certain class of
property. Judge Wallace in effect, de
clarcs that the railways are pubhcproperty.
He attaches this characteristic to them be-
cause much OF their right of way was
acquired through the Subrogatcd right o
eminent domain. Such programme takes
no heed Of the large concessions of the
right of way acquired by railways which
enjoyed the privileges of eminent domain,
that were secured by purchase or voluntary
concession. What the people want, in
our opinion, is legislation placing the
railways and other corporations ON the
same footing as individual taxpayers, and
Il constitutional amendment ahulishing all
commissions. The Democratic party, in
the extra session, viii commit grave blum
der if it falls short of or exceeds the eXpec-
tationS of the people. Outside of the inn
mediate ncighborhood of the Stockton
Insane Asylum and the Mussel Slough
country there is no excited public senti-
ment ON the railway question in this State
Just now. On the other hand, there is a
general feeling that the railways and other
corporations should be made amenable to
the laws which govern the private citizen,
and that the special session should be o
very short one. That is mquestionably
the popular sentiment in this end of the
State, irrespective of party.
