The lecture by Rev. Burt Z.
Wheeler last Tuesday evening was 4
good one but the attendance was small
owing partly to the storm which set
in quite briskly about dark. The
boys and young men of this genera
ton have certainly an earnest champ
ion in Mr.. Wheeler, and they should
give him full houses when he lectures
to them. All who heard him Tues
day evening were we'll pleased. He
promised to make us another visit in
the spring when he could stay longer
and get acquainted with our people
and see more of our town.

Patronage of the Government

The patronage at the disposal OF
President Buchanan was nothing com
pared with that Grover Cleveland, the
next Democratic president, will have
to bestow. There are $4,000 postmas
ters who can be thrown out Of their
places by mere stroke of the pen of
the First assistant postmaster general.
There are $500 positions which are
credited as presidential offices, and
which need to be confirmed by the
Senate. There is also an army of col
lectors of ports, collectors of internal
revenue, United States marshas and
district attorneys, and the positions of
ministers TO foreign powers. In all
there are nearly one hundred thousand
offices, about fifteen thousand OF which
are held under the civil service rule,
leaving more than eighty thousand
that are filled by the old appointment
system, making herculean task for the
executive to perform, as every man OF
this vast army of ofhceholders comes
under the appointing power OF the
president either directly or indirectly
To this task of making appointments
there are added multlfarlous duties
that the head of the nation has con
stantly to perform, so that the presl'
dency is far from being the slnecure

be. A president having a proper APP

Why Grant Refuses a Pension.
1T is THOUGHT HE WOULD PREFER TO BE
PLACED ON TIE RETIRED LIST.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s. - Senator
Mitchell said this evening in reference
to the Grant Pension bill:
IL introduced the bill to carry out
the suggestion of the President in his
message. A number of gentlemen
had spoken to me about it, as am the
Chairman of the Committee on Pen
sious. supposed that the propo-
sition was agreeable to Gen. Grant on
account of the recommendation being
in the message"
"What is the reason of Gen. Grants
letter of withdrawal p
81 think it is his dislike to place
himself in the position of pensloner.
During late years there has been such
pressing TO the front OF unworthy APP
plicants for pensions, that it has come
to be regarded by the better class Of
officers as unsoldierly to take a pension
unless for disability incurred in the
service. | know Senator Hawley takes
this same view"
The Senator said he did not think
Gen. Grant would object to being
placed on the retired list of the army.
In that place he would be subject to
order in case of an emergency. The
Senate inferred that it should pass
upon the ground expressed in his veto
message of the Fitz John Porter bill
that such an act was trenching upon
the appointive powers of the Executive
He thought the President, to avoid this
issue, had recommended the pension.

The Office Prospect.

A very large number of honest dem.
ocrats fairly earned substantial recogni-
tion, and some of these, doubtless en-
tertain the hope that they are entitled
to, and will or should receive office. 1t
is lamentable truth that in very many
cases those who most deserve it are
least likely to get any official favor
The sharpcrs on the make, always on
the alert, are the ones who manage to
make the appointing power believe, in
nineteen out OF twenty cases, that they
are the only influential and deserving
ones, whilst many effective workers,
who are entitled to recognition are
passed over as of no account. Whilst
we have entire confidence in the good
intentions of the President elect, we

ognize real merit only, aud award back

ers.
Our counsel to all meritorious Dem
ocrats is, dent count on success if you
are after an Office, because only one
individual can fill one Office. And in
view of the difficulties, by reason OF
much competition, aud necessity Of
special effort to stand any chance OF
success, our counsel is, think well be
fore making up your mind to try fol
an appointment, If you have an av
erage paying private business, or if you
ave employment that fairly conn n

ask yourself the question whether it

will be really to your advantage on the
long run even if you succeed In getting
an average political clerkship or posi-
tion Bear in mind that, as statistics
would prove, in a large majority of
cases those who become Office seekers
become utter failures even some who
manage to succeed. AS a general rule
it is only those who succeed in getting
leading positions, that pay well and
who carefully refrain from many temp
tations and opportunities to fall into
questionable habits of life, who are
really benefited on the long run. These
we hear of. But we seldom hear OF
many human wrecks made within the
lines of the grand army of Office seek
ers, including many office finders. Our
advice would be, to our best friend, if
young man in good or fair position
and prospects OF success in private life:
"Be content, and remain as you are,
unless good and respectable public

be peculiarly well qualified should fall

ging or questionable habits, such as
have completely wrecked hundreds of
thousands in every generation since
the existence of the great Republic.
Another view of the subject is this
Suppose you get an average office now,
and serve it one term, aud to do so you
reinquish and sacrifice an average
paying private business. Then
suppose at the end of your official term
there should be change of political
party, what then Will you not deem
it a hardship to go back to the effort to
re-establish Yourself in private bust
ness, for which, incidentally. you have

The Anti Chinese Act.
IMPoRTANT DECISION IN THE UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-A decision
was rendered by the supreme court of
the United States this afternoon in the
important California case of Chew
Heong, plaintiff III error, against the
United States, test case involving the
construction of the so-called Chinese
restrictions acts of May 6, 1882, and
July 5, 1885, Chew Heong, the plain
tiff in error, is Chinese laborer aud
subject OF the emperor of China. He
was in the United States on the 18th
of November, 1880, the date of the
adoption of the last treaty between
China aud the United States, and he
remained therein until June, 1881,
when he went to Honolulu, returning
therefrom to San Francisco in Septem-
Der last.
AS the restriction act of 1882 had
not become a law when he left the
United States he did not, of course,
provide himself with the certificate
which is prescribed as prerequisite to
re-entrance, and upon his return to Sau
Francisco in September, 1884, the Gus
tom house authorities refused to allow
him to land on the ground that to per-
init him to do so would he to violate
the restriction act. He thereupon sued
out a writ of hGbeaS corpus and
brought the case before the Uni led
States circuit court, where it was heard
by Mr.. Justice Field and Judge Saw,
yer. The judges were divided in opin-
ion, Justice Field holding that labor
er could not re-enter the United States
without the certificate prescribed by
section four of the restriction act.
Judge Sawyer, on the contrary, held
that Chinese laborer who was in the
United States on the 18th of Novem-
Der. 1880, aud departed hereirom prior
to the passage OF the restriction act,
acts, could return without any certiti
cate. The judges thereupon certified
a division OF opinion, judgment was en-
tered in accordance with the decision
of Mr.. Justice Field aud the case was
brought here by writ OF error
The court holds that the Chinese re
striction act of May 9th, 1882, as
atueuded, requiringa collectors certif-
cate as the only evidence of the right
of Chinese laborer TO re-enter the
United States, is not applicable to a
Chinese laborer VINO resided IN this
country at the date of the treaty of
1880, but who left this country before
the act OF May 9th, 1882, was passed,
and did not seek TO re-enter until after
the act of July 9TH, 1884, was passed
The right Of such laborer to re-enteT
was secured by the treaty of 1880, and
the court holds that congress did not
iutend to violate the tight. Chinese
lab0rers who were here at the date OF
the treaty can be admitted, the court
holds upon such evidence as W Il BE-
competent under the general rim ip'es
OF law

LONDON. December 0.
Captain Dudley and the mate of the
wrecked yacht, Mignonette, who were
found guilty of murder 10 killing the
boy Parker for food to keep them
selves alive. were to-day sentenced.
The court room was crowded and the
scene during the pronouncing of SEN
tence was most impressive. Lord
Chief Justice Coleridge read the judg
ment of the court, citing authorities at
great length. The Court declared that
the taking Of human life could
ouly be justified on the plea of
self.defense. The commission of
murder for the sake of preserv-
ing ones own life was unjustifa-
Bile. OF course, it was duty to pre-
serve ones own life, but duty often re-
quired one not to save but to sacrifice
his own lite. The court must apply
the law and declare that the prisoners
were guilty of willful murder, for which
there are no justitications. If this judg-
ment was too severe the Court must
leave the prisoners to the clemency of
the Crown.
The prisoners were asked what they
had to say before sentence was pro-
nounced. Both Captain Dudley and
Mate Stephens plead for mercy in
view of their terrible situation when
the deed was done. Lord Colerdge
said it was the jury's privilege to rec
ommend the prisoners to mercy and ne
then sentenced them to be hanged,
but without the black cap. 1t is be-
lieved that they will certainly be par
doned.
The Right Hon. Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, Secretary of State for the
Home Department, has advised the
Queen to respite Captain Dudley and
Mate Stephens

The editor of the Republican should
not be so reckless in his statements. In
an editorial this week he says, in speak
ing of Senator Bruce's interview con
corning Blaine's Augusta speech, "the
country press, including the CoLuMBI-
AN, published the false interview, but
made no mention of its denial. If our
esteemed contemporary will look at the
first column of our editorial page for
last week near the top, he will find that
we give Senator Bruce the benefit of
his denial The E'cening Telegraph
which first published the interview and
subsequently insisted that Bruce said
what was reported, is republican dai-
ly, so that if there were any deception
it was not practiced by democrats.
