what might have been glorious victory
of the Union army. Few favOrs but are
forgotten ia less than score of years,
but of course they remember this ia the
interest of reform.
Now let the New Jersey Legislature ell
ect Porter to the U. S. Senate, so that he
may be near his newly elected colleague
Guerilla Blackburn, the man that could
send boxes of clothing infected with
yellow fever into northern cities to
spread that terrible disease among mil
lions of women and children would be
fit chum, in torment for traitor that
would wilfully abandon his comrades in
battle.
Perhaps Porter will congratulate
Blackburn for the speech he made in the
interest of reform, a few years ago when
Oliver P. Morton the great war governor
of Indiana, almost the last of the great
compeers of Lincoln, Seward, and Chase
was upon his deathbed, he Blackburn
said in public speech thanked God
the Uoice of Oiiuer p. Norton would nep-
er be heard in the United States Senate
again. If New Jersey has got Senator
that is willing to lay himself upon the
altar of Democratic reform let him re-
sign Immediately, so that Porter can be
elected in his place, the great cause OF
reform will be advanced, aud thereby
glorify the great and good Democratic
party.
The great AMI good reform Sc. say
they don't want any more bloody shirt.
We are aware they do not, perhaps they
would prefer to give Blackburn an OPP
portunity to show to the world one of
his implements of war, not a shirt stain
ed with the blood of Union Soldier, but
one stained with the poison Of Yellow
Jack victim, and let them nail it to
their flag staff in the name of reform.
Who can anticipate the next act in this
meiOdramaIic Democratic farce they
call reform? We will wait and see.

DEMOCRATIC REFORM.
Nothing ike IL in the heavens above.
earth beneath. or waters under
the earth,

For the past eighteen years we have
heard from Democratic speakers, and
the Democratic press throughout the
country, appeals and demands for So
clal, political, and financial reform.
They have charged the Republican par
ty with every crime known, ever imag-
ined, and in the next breath would
make promises Of what they, the Democ-
racy would do. il the people would only
restore them again to place AID power,
but who would have ever thought they
were in such dead earnest abOnt 1T?
And who would have thought they could
accomplish so much in so short time,
even when i'm earnest about reform?
They shouted for revenue reform, for
tariff reform, tariff for revenue only,
with incidental protection of home in-
dustries, but no protection Of bloated
mOnOpOlies, until nothing but fres-trade
would be considered reform. What Is
the result of their efforts?
Michigan wants the tariff on lumber
to remain bat remove the tariff on wool
and sugar, Louisiana SAYS take the tax
off wool and lumber and iron, but you
must not cut the present tariff on sugar
or even make neighborly arrangement
with Mexico, to exchange commodities
ON reciprocal and mutually beneficial
basis, Pennsylvania says never make
any reduction on iron, but cut wool and
sugar and Lumber, Ohio says we favor free
trade on most everything but wool, don't
cut this another cent, for we have got ten
millions Of sheep and our clip next year
will be more than fifty million pounds.
Now as the result of the labors Of Car
isles free-trade committee we have the
Morrison bill, which instead OF free-trade
with the relief to the Overtaxed millions
we have heard so much about they only
propose to cut down the tariff 10 to 20
per cent, and on very many articles no
reduction at all is recommended.
But socially and politically they are
equally we'll or perhaps better, in fact
they have shown to the world what can
be accomplished in four short weeks.
Now who would doubt for moment that
had PendletOn been rejected to the U. S.
Senate, but he would have been the next
nominee of the Democratic party for the
Presidency
New York money has been used to
slaughter Presidential aspirants i'm

diploma tic and Other Changes.

recent Washington Special Telegram Says:
There has been considerable shifting around
in the diplomatic service. Congressman
Kasson of Iowa goes to Germany to see if he
can get along with the great chancellor, and
takes with him a natural aptitude and long
experience in diplomacy. Ex-Attorney Gen
eral Taft is transferred from Austria to
Russia, and John NJ. Francis, of the Troy
Times, is promoted from Portugal to Austria.
Mr.. Franco would have been sent to St
Petersburg but for the fact that New
York already has one frst-class
mission. Lewis Richmond of Rhode
Island goes to Portugal in the place of
Nh. Francis The appointments for Alaska
were also made to-day, and Andrew I. Lewis
of Cannon's district, illinois, is make clerk
of the court. Frank Sperry, who is private
secretary to the secretary of the treasury. is
appointed one of the justices for Dakota and
Leonard Smith of Iowa is the other. This is
a great disappointment to Delegate Ray
mond, who earnestly urged George P. Elan
merry and George H. Hand, who were well en-
dorsed by the bars of their respective dis
tricts. George Turner of Alabama is made
associate justice of Washington Territory.
He was the chairman of the Alabama dele
cation to the Chicago convention.
In the long list of the appointments sent
to the senate to-day there is one which ere
ates considerable amusement, that of Frank
Sperry, TO be associate justice of Dakoka.
Sperry is a young man of about twenty-five
years, but his youthful face and diminutive
stature. make him appear as a mere boy. He
has delicate little m~utton-chop side whiskers,
which look as though they were the first at
tempts at sprouting a beard He is alto
gether a very insignificant looking youth.
he was admitted to practice at the New
York bar two or three years ago, but through
the influence of George Bliss was appointed
private secretary to Secretary Folger. Con-
sequently he has had no experience in the
practice Of the law. 1t is said that he has
been very faithful to the wishes of George
Bliss, and that he has regularly reported to
Bliss the private movements of Folger.
There does not appear to be any objection to
the Young gentleman aside from his youth
and inexperience. The appointments of
Kasson, Kent and Francis are gener-
all commended Seward Smith,
who has been appointed as
soeiate Justice of Dakota, is a lawyer of Des-
Moines, with a practice of twenty years. He
is said TO be a man of ability and high stand
ing at the bar. Nj. Byers, who has been ap-
pointed consul general at Rome, has been
for several years consul at Zurich, Switzer-
land, and his nomination is a deserved pro-
motion. Byers is the author of the song

1t is reported that negotiations are on foot
between England and France regarding the
Dutch succession. Granville favors Holland
and Belgium being united under the rule of
King Leopold's successor, each country how
ever, having a separate parliament and q sep
arate administration and allowing Germany to
annex the grand duchy of Luxembourg.
France is not disposed 70 sanction this scheme.

The increase in size and tonnage of
the great ocean steamers has been so
gradual as to attract little attention, but
it is evident that within a few years
vessels of 10, 900 tons viii not be be-
yond the ordinary limit. The great
Eastern was a sensational experiment,
built under the influence of Mr.. Brunei,
who was more interested in the enhance
ment of his own fame than for the prof
its of the stockholders, and was a fail
IRE not so much on account Of its I'M
Eieldy size as because marine machinery
and architecture had not been adapted
to its condition by natural growth and
experiment. But with the examples Of
such vessels as the Umbria, and her
probable successors, it is quite likely
that steamers as large as the Great
Eastern will be in successful operation
while she is yet afioat.

When a lease contained a stipulation

privilege to purchase the leased prem
Uses of and from the lessor at any time
before the expiration of the lease, for a
stipulated sun to be paid down in cash
to the lessor upon the demand of a deed
prior to the expiration of the lease, the
Supreme Court of Minnesota recently
held that payment of the same within
the time limited was an essential con-
-:ition to the consumation of any bind
ing contrast of sale. The court took
the view that the lease amounted sub
tantially to a written proposition OF offer
to sell upon the proposed terms, and
that the assent or act of acceptance,
whether by payment or the fulfllment
of some other condition, was neccessa-
rily to be made within the time
limited, otherwise no contract could
be consumated.

General Crook the great Indian fight
er, gave the graduating cadets at West
Point a sensible talk on their gradua-
ton, which they will do we'll to heed.
He told them that the greatest fault of
young soldiers was "idleness and mental
Incidence, " and he warned them against
the temptations which follow such lazi-
ness. He also told them hat they were
citizens, and that this country was made
up of citizens who rightfully were ieal-
GUS of the sword, and only used it as a
necessary evil and last resort. Our ge-
Ographical position sheltered us from
foreign aggression, and we have mo
need of armies to repress the tendency
of the age towards elf-government;
therefore in the future, as in the past,
the army is likely to be hardly more
than a national police, scarcely suffi-
cient to weakly garrison our scattered
frontier posts" He added that even on
the frontier the military would have lit
tie to do, as wars with the Indians are
practically over. It is to be hoped that
the cadets will, in view of this outlook,
take a modest view OF their career and
be willing TO conduct themselves like
other citizens.
