The report just made by Mr.. HERvE MAN.
CON to the French Academy OF Science con-
corning balloon ascension undertaken mt
Meudon by Capt. RENARDs Is certainly Of
unusual Importance. IL it 10 true, as Mr.
MANGoN alleges. that the balloon was moved

Up to tho present time tho so-called science

more than simple ballooning. The birds
have been the only true aeronauts. Daring
ballOOnists have performed extraordinary
feats of courage and endurance in their
ascensiOns, and they have made these asccn-
sions not only objects OF popular curiosity
and amusement, but OF great value In metc-
orolOgy, In topography. and In the practical
operations of war. Nevertheless. the balloon

vention and practical use OF the balloon, as
we commonly use tho term, great and
memorable step In advance seems to have
been taken. The problem hitherto has been
to secure such a power OF self-propulsion and
steering us to make the balloon practically
master OF the air, SO that tho wind can DO
used. In whatever way 1t may blow, just Us a
vessel uses a head wind by beating up against
it. Ten years ago LAMBERT, after long
mathematical investigation, arrived at the
conclusion that the mir could and would
one day be navigated by the use of
machinery, and even. held that the air
ship could be made SO self-sustaining
that It would be possible to go, with
fair wind, from Paris to New York"

made entities it to great consideration.

THE CAMPAIGN IN ONO.
The Rsp.si,e..s Crying for sep.

CINCINNATI. Aug. 22-There has been q
slight stir in Ohio politics. So far the campaign
has presented apathy and overconadence by
the Republicans and a general disappointment
over Cleveland by the Democrats. Eminent
Republicans admit now that the State Is
In danger. while the poverty OF the
State Committee has became so despcr-
ate that small subscriptions have been
solicited from tho rank and file Of tho party.
In tho Foraker Hoadly campaign last year the
Republicans had hard work to get money from
any source. Judge Foraker gave $1,000 cash
and paid his own campaign expenses. Gov.
Foster gave 81. $50. and Senator Sherman 500.
An $500 debt was saddied on the new COM
mittee appointed this year. Such rich mon OF
the party as Foster have quilted giving big con-
tributions. while the ofccholding Democrats
have good salaries. and can pay reasonable
assessments.

MIR. Cleveland's Public Services.

A Brooklyn correspondent, quoting our re-
mark that Mr.. CLEVELAND has done nothing
TO deserve tho Presidency. asks:
"w 1ns Sos inform its readers what other services
and how much all intelligent citizen who has SccsptaLiy
discharged the duties OF Mayor OF Buffalo and
of the state of New York should perform ~ deserve such
ersward ~ the Presidency"
We answer the question with pleasure.
He should have performed such public SER
vices u would show him to be o statesman.
man may very well be competent to gov
ern the city OF Buffalo without being quail
He'd for the important Office OF Governor Of
the State. He may also discharge the duties
OF Governor creditably without manifestiny
any peculiar fitness for the Presidency
There are scores Of cities whose Mayors are
Just as good as Mayor CLEVELAND was, and
dozen States whose Governors are just as
good US Gov. CLEVELAND Is, and yet nobody
thinks Of nominating any Of these respect
able citizens for President OF tho United
States. Their public services arc good. but
not great; and popular tradition. until now,
at least, has led people to look for something
like greatness In their candidates for the
Presidency.
There is much to esteem and commend in
Mr.. CLEvELANDs official career, but proba-
bly, no more than might readily be discov-
cred In the lives of many other public officers
OF equal rank who will never even be thought
OF in connection with the White House. A
candidate for President should be one who
has rendered great services to his party and
great services to the country. There are
such mon among the leaders OF tho Democ-
racy. but the National Democratic Conven-
ton Of 1884 passed them by.

The Case of Agent McGilIycuddy.

From an Indian Agent in Dakota we have
n communication which, for Mt least one rea-
son, merits the attention of tho authorities
ut Washington. Mr. V. r. McGILLYCUDDY
has charge Of tho Pine Ridge Agency. We
learn from the Official Register OF the United
States that his salary is $1,000 q year. From
tho same source of information we learn that
Mrs. j.. l.. M(tiILLYCUDDY is Superintendent
OF the agency schools, drawing $3.50 IL year.
According to the list at hand, which gives
the figures for 1881, subordinate officials
at the agency draw salaries aggre-
eating about $4,000 annually. Then
there is the agency police force,
under the probably gallant command OF
MAN WHO CARRIES THE SWORD. with ten
sergeants, the ninth of whom is KILLS Hun
DEED, and thirty-eight privates, among
whom we observe the names OF KILLS HIM.
SELF, RIBS, PAwNEE LADIES, and FAT Doa.
These guardians OF public order get So u
month each.
What strikes us chiefly, however, In the
pay roll OF the Pine Ridge Agency for that
year is Il list OF not less than three hundred
and fifty Indians classified as 'freighters, -
and receiving the uniform compensation Of
Si5 a month. Apparently the freighter is u
functionary known only ut tho Pine Ridge
Agency. He figures in the accounts OF no
other agency.
Agent McGILLYcUDDY. who says that dur
ing the five years of his service at that post
he haSissucd and disbursed between S2,OOO-
900 and S3,OO0,000 in property and funds, and
that he has accounted for every dollar. writes
to The Sun that charges OF fraud and mis-

gated, he says, by inspectors, commissions,
and committees. but he wants them investi-

One Out of Five.

Five candidates for President invite the
suffrage OF the American people this year
Or these candidates one, Mr.. $. G. PoMERoY,
who has been put up by the so-called Aneri-
can party. Is not to be seriously considered.
Aside from the fact that his public record
Is unsound, only an insignificant number of
good people, mostly craIks, support him.
MIR. ST. JOHN, the candidate OF the Prohbi-
tionists, Is man OF earnestness, OF charac-
ter. and Of considerable force He will re-
cclve the votes OF many worthy and consci-
entious men; but the principle Of liquor pro-
hibition, for which he stands, Is not conso-
nant with the spirit OF American liberty, and
Is not likely to recommend itself to MAORI
ty Of the voters. Whoever votes for ST..
JOHN will have the satisfaction OF voting
with single and definite aim but it is not
al aim which is likely to attract the mighty
mass Of men who are dissatisfied with both
BLAINE and CLEVELAND.
What shall these men do? How shall they
do all that 1t Is possible to do to save the
country from the misfortune which Is sure
to fall upon it through the success OF either
BLAINE or CLEVELAND?
The answer and their duty are plain rs
day. They should vote for BENJAMIN F..
BUTLER. vote for him is protest against
dishonesty and stupidity; and in such a time
as the present who shall say that his vote
may not be eirectual If it be given to BUTLER :
OF all the five candidates ST. JOHN and
BUTLER are the two for whom nobody need
be- ashamed to vote. But a vote for ST JOHN
isu vote for ON impracticability; vote for
BUTLER is a vote for honesty and capacity.

CLEVELAND give their votes to BUTLER

condition Of affairs on the reservation. II
the verdict Is against him, he adds. II will
willingly suffer dishonorabls dismissal"
We know nothing Of the truth or falsity Of
tho charges against Mr.. MCGILLYcUDDY.
We do know that when he sent his commu-
nication to The Sun through the mails with
out postage stamps, In an official envelope Of
the Interior Department, he violated tho law
which provides that such envelopes shall be
used without postage to convey nothing but
official correspondence with the executive
departments and officers OF the United
States. We know, also. that by thus defraud-
ing the Government ho has rendered himself
liable to Il fine Of $500.
We therefore call the attention OF the Post
Office authorities to the case Of Indian Agent
McGILLYCUDDY.

NETDED IN INDIANA.



WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.-Thero are excellent
reasons for saying that Gen. Dudley the Com
missioner OF Pensions. will resign at IN early
day The condition Of the Republican party
out in Indiana is ssid to be very desperate and
wor,l comes from that section that victory can
bo gained only by the most vigorous and con-
ccrtsd action. Dudley's cloverness n a politi-
cal m manager was go well illustrated in tho cam
paign Of 1880 that tho pressure upon him to
return to the State ind once more take control
OF affairs hns been too strong To he rn-
sisted. This can h.. accomplished by forcing
John G. New Off tho Cha irnanship Of tho Contra,
Committee andputiing Dudley IN his ,,'lace
month ago. Dudley won't to Secretary Teller
and offered to accept the post II his Commits
sionership should be restored to him after tho
close OF the campsign. Tho interview was so
unsatisfactory however. that Dudley decided
to remain whore he WAS. and allow the party
In Indiana to yet along ns best 1t could. Secre-
tary TslIers refusal To- provide for Mr.. Dudley

for the ticket may be expected from a single
member OF the Administration.
Of late however. the divisions within me
Democratic ranks have given the Republicans
40 much encouragement that Gen. Dudley has
decided to make what ut first glance would
seem to he great sacrifice. But the cold facts
IN the ease are that he now believes Elaine viii
be- elected and that his reward In this event
will be place OF far more character and prom
nence than that which he IL filling at present.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. Aug ~.
We don't know Mr.. Blaine was editor and
part owner Of tho Kennebec Journal from 1854
until 1857. when he wont to Portland During
that time several articles on foreign imingra-
ton appeared in the newspaper with which no
was connected. Hero is n specimen extract
from tho journal Of March 4. 1855:

Whether this was written by Mr.. Blaine. or
printed with his approval. we cannot say. We
don't care much either. II his opposition at
that time was to foreign immigration as
| whole. to the idea Of admitting to the privi-
leges Of American citizenship men who camo

est living. and to be good citizens. why. he was
foolishly wrong in his sentiments. That this
was meant Is not quite clear from the passage
which we have quoted.
1t Is proper to give our Pittsburgh corre-

by Mr.. John l.. Stevens who WAS associated
with Blaine in the publication OF the Krnupbpc

How Will the English Get to Khar.
tOum?

While the British Government is pledged
by the Premier's explicit declarations not
only to rescue GORDON, but to permanently
occupy the eastern part Of tho Soudan there
seems to be good deal Of vacillation ut tho
War Office regarding the route to be adopted
by the expedition. This uncertainty ia much
to DO regretted, for 1t will necessarily post
pone the time at which the relieving column
can expect to reach khartoum. Meanwhile
We are completely in the dark respecting the
state OF things at that place, for ii tho pre-
tended dispatches from tho interior are scru-
tinized 1t will be observed that no news Of
undoubted authenticity has been received
from khartoum for some months
Soon after tho complete abandonment of
the mistaken evacuation policy was avowed
In the House OF Commons-an announce
ment which was made just before Parlia-
ment was prorogued-it was decided Mt tho
War Office to reject Suakim as base OF
operations, and orders were sent to ship to
India the railway material which had already
peeh collected at that point. Tho expedition
1t was said would follow the circuitous river
route, and preparations were begun at As
souan Tor Its transportation. But the great
length OF this route and the obstacles pre-
scented BY the Nile cataructs do not seem to
have been adequately appreciated in Lon
oon. Tor while it was at first affirmed that the
troops would start before the end of August
II Is now admitted that they cannot set out
from Wady llalfa before Nov. l.
This delay has naturally caused dsmay at
Cairo, where tho gravity OF the Soudan situa-
ton Is thoroughly understood. Tho Khe-
dsve,s Ministers are certain to urge upon
LORD NoRrHBRooK the expedlency of revert
Ing to tho original plan, which contemplated
an advance from Suakim, aud there have of
late been rumors that the British Cabinet
was leaning toward the same programme
Such change OF base Is also earnestly nd.
vocated by Sir SAMUEL BAKER. whose in
fuencc had probably much to do with tho
newly formed intention OF maintaining gar.
risons In the valley OF the upper Nile. BAKER
insists that, owing to tho nature M tn,
ground, a railway could DO laid with prcat
rapidity from SuaEim to Berbcr or TO some
more southern point on the river. md that
such road, while useful in the highest de-
gree to military expedition, would be in
dispcnsable to tho firm retention and com.
mercial development OF the Soudan.
It is, then, quite possible that the Suakim
route may be preferred after all, but in the
interim much precious time will have been
loss and the primary purpose OF the march
