GEN. SHERIDAN, commander in-chlef
Of the United States army, In his recent
annual report, expresses the opinion
that tho wonderful improvements made
In artillery and the discoveries made In
explosives will bring about, In few
years, new system of warfare. He
thinks that II improvements continue
during the next fifteen or twenty years
IN the same ratio With the like period
lust past, In firearms, etc., that battles
Will be so destructive armies can not
stand up before each other. Tho very
reverse Of this has been the rule. since
she days OF ALEXANDER, CESAR and
HANNIBAL, the more the Implements
and engines Of warfare have been i'm
proved, the less destructive 10 human
life have they bsen.

makes the exceedingly wise suggestion
that the Indians should be disarmed.
The secretary has evidently not read OF

AID that an attempt to take away their
arms would provoke the very fiercest of
Indian wars.

US. The cause for this does not
clearly appear. 1t may be that Mr..
Blaine has not always complied with
the wishes of Mr.. Pound while in con-
gress, and it may be that Mr.. Pound
is of opinion that Mr.. Blaine interfered
with his obtaining a desired seat in
Garfelds cabinet. Whether it be one
or the other or neither, is not material;
the fact remains quite evident, that it
results from personal spleen arising
from some personal cause.
Having long known Mr.. Pound, and
been on intimate and pleasant terms
with him for many years, we regret he
cannot support Mr.. Blaine and remain
in full fellowship with the republican
party, as whole; but are glad he
promises support to most of the can
didates of that party. Mr.. Blaine
will be elected all the same, and after
his Inauguration, Mr.. Pound will soon
see his mistake and hasten to take his
place as an ardent worker with his old
friends.

P. BARNUM FOR BLAINE.

At a large asse mblage of the citizens
Of Rhode Island, the great Snowman,
2. T: Barnum, said, in a convincing
speech, that he was now and always
had been a Democrat, but the choice
now was of principles, and in this
respect the Republican nominees were
the most trustworthy and the platform
the safest. With acquaintance all
over the civilized world, and with
nearly as many friends in England as
in America, he spoke confidently Of
the dangers that would ensue Co Amer
lean industry from Democratic
triumph. English manufacturing
friends had told him repeatedly that if
the protective tariff were removed they
could and would shut up all the large
American workshops inside of three
months. Free trade meant utter ruin
to the manufacturer. 1t meant more
Grant that the farmer can now sell hi 8
grain abroad, how long can he do so
with profit? England is pushing
railroad to India, whence she will try
to obtain all the grain she needs to the
exclusion of the American supply.
Protect our industries, and have a
home market for our natural and arti-
fetal products. He had repeatedly
taken English and Scotch manufacture
ers to visit the establishment of
Wheeler & Wilson, at Bridgeport.
They never before saw workmen
apparently all SO prosperous. Their
dress, their food, their houses, SO
superior to those Of foreign laborers,
astonished these Britons.
AS Mr.. Barnum concluded the
Chairman said: "This is not the Seven
Mule Barnum, whose lead the Demo-
Gratis of Connecticut propose to follow
next November" NO." said the
famous Snowman, "and he thanks God
that he is no nearer related to that
man than he is to Adam"

NINTH CONGRESSIONAL
NOMINATION.

The ninth Congressi onal Convention
met in the city of Oconto, on We'd
nesday August 9th. and was called
to order by Luthur B. Noyes, chair
man of the republican district COM
mittee. After going through the
preliminary forms of organization the
convention proceeded to place in NOM
ination candidate for Congress. 1t
was the universal opinion throughout
the convention to re-nominate the
present incumbant, Hon. Isaac Step
henson, of Marrinette, which was
done on motion of P. II. Swift by full
affirmative vote of convention. The
nomination gives universal satisfaction
and guarantees an election. The Mar
rinette and Pehstigo Eagle has the
following deserved compliment in its
last number:
"Never in the history of political
conventions has there been one held
that displayed more unamimity Of
feeling or more enthusiastic good will
toward the candidate chosen, than was
both entertained and displayed toward
Hon. Isaac Stephenson by the Con-
gressional Convention which met at
Oconto last Wednesday. Every coun-
ty in the vast District was represented
by live delegates except the county of
Price, fifteen out of sixteen counties
in the district being thus represented.
No candidate was talked of but Mr..
Stephenson, no one else seemed to be
thought Of The assemblage was in
fact but meeting of authorized del
egates from the several counties of the
district, to ratify and endorse nomi-
nation already made by the people
This result is gratifying to Mr.. Step
henson and to his friends for he has
well and truly earned his fattering
recognition at the hands of a grateful
and appreciative constituency. His
nomlnatlonby reclamation was lore
gone conclusion long before the con-
vention met or even was called. Two
years ago, his nomination was accom-
plished by the hard and untiring work
of his friends. This time it came as
the spontaneous feeling of gratitude
from constituency that recognized the
faithfullness, the honor, truth and in
tegrity of the man No interest has
suffered at his hands In season and
out of season he has always worked
with untiring zeal for the best interests
of the people of his district. And
while he has always been true on the
great questions of the day, hundreds
of brave soldiers and their families
have reasons to bless the day that gave
Hon. Isaac Stephenson seat in Con-
gress. That he will be reelected by
an overwhelming popular majority no
man of intelligence for a moment
doubts

ON MORAL GROUNDS.
The New York Independsnt. WI

The New York independent, which
was foremost among religious journals
of the country in support of Cleveland
as ''the reform candidate for presi.
dent, changed about last week, and
announced that on moral grounds sole
ly, it would oppose his candidacy and
do what it could to defeat his election.
Demanding Cleveland's Withdrawal
from the ticket, it even went so far as
to maintain that he should be COMPEL.
ed to retire in the event of his refusal
to retire voluntarily. The Independ.
ent issued Wednesday, follows up its
warfare inaugurated week ago, pub.
fishing leader editorial from which
extracts as follows are taken:
The Independent Republicans, who
ignorantly Endorsed Mr.. Cleveland,
and publicly declared their purpose to
support him, did not know the man as
the record of his private life has
revealed him to be. x X These
Republicans cannot, in view of what
they now know, give him their sup.
port without the grossest self-stultif
cation, and, indeed, without Justly
exposing themselves to the charge Of
gross and senseless hypocrisy.
The Independent will do all in its
power to prevent the election of Gov
Cleveland, not from passion or any
personal animosity to the man, not
because it is Republican paper and
believes in the general principles o.
the Republican party, and does not
and never did believe in those of the
Democratic party, but solely in the
interests of sound morals, especially
those of the family. x *We cal
upon the religious press, of the nation,
and also the Christian pulpit, to speak
out in bold and emphatic language
against his election.
