Dan held the jack-o' lantern alof,
and waved it to and fro, the better to

Jack, in great surprise. They want
to get better look at it. "

The Indications are accommodating that
the Ricl rebellion viii give the govern
mcnt Of the Dominion Of Canada a great
deal more trouble than was generally eX-
pected when it first bc9an. The settlers
/ OF the region which is the scene Of the
/ disturbance felt no great alarm
about the safety of their lives and prop
/ erty until it began to be apparent that
the Indians were disposed TO be trouble
some. The half breeds they knew, would
conduct their military operations in a
civilized way, but they realized
that if there was a rising of the indians
there would at once begin a period Of
murder and plumber. Some OF the IGdi-
ans, it seems, have taken the war path,
and have signalize5 their advent as a
factor of the rebellion by mass9creing
number Of settlers at Frog Lake, a
sette ment about l20 miles northwest
from Bdttleiord.
II there snail be a general rising Of the
Indians there will be, doubtless, terrible
conditioned affairs throughout the whole
Of the Northwest region. The settlers
are scattered over a large area of country
and their means Of defense are very limit
ed. 1t was not thought at any time that
Riel would encourage the Indians to take
art with him against the lawfully con-
stilu'ed authorities, but 1t seems that he
intends tt make the rebellion OF such pro-
portions rs TO command the respect of the
Dominion Government.
Now that the rebellion has broken out
a very respectable part Of the Canadian
press does not hesitate to say that the
Government is, in measure, responsible
for it. 1t seems that the government
hasn't shown much judgment in the man
agcment of the great territory which was
acquired from the Hudson Bay Company
in 1868. Governor and Council were
appointed to govern the country, and it
was not even required that their acts
/ should be communicated at once to Par
lament. The first Governor and Council
were not residents of the country, and
had no sympathy with the residents.
This arrange ment was meant by Parla-
mtnt to answer only as temporary gov
eminent, but Il was the means Of sowing
the seeds Of discomfort which soon de-
Nelopcj into a rebellion. That rebellion
was led by Riel, as the present
one is, and was only Brought to
an end by bribing Riel. While tue
Government Of Manitoba, in the course of
time, was made more satisfactory, the evil
fleets Of The first great mistake were never
erased, and were potent in bringing aboul
,he present outbreak. 1t would not be
unexpected if many settlers we're massa-
creed ana their homes destroyed before
the disturbance is quelled.

Reform Work.

The work of reform in the interest OF
economy and good government is still
being pushed forward vigorously at
Washington. Postmaster Villas, follow
ING the example Of other Cabinet officers,
is dismissmg employees who can be spared
without deuiment to the service. Ga
Friday he called ,or the designations Of
fifteen post office inspectors, ana it is
probable that more designations will be
demanded as soon as it is determined ia
what branches Of the department the su-
perfuous employees are located.
1t seems, also, that United States Mar
shals are finding it to their interest to
comply strictly with the law that requires
them to render weekly statements Of the
amounts of government money in their
hands. They were permitted, under Re
publican administrations, to do pretty
much as they pleased about this matter,
and the consequence was that they were
frequently behndhsnd in their accounts.
il is a source OF satisfaction to the
whole country, doubtless, that the admin
istratOB is showing a clear-cut purpose
to conduct the public business on business
principles. The government is not to be
used as a sort Of pack-horse to carry a
great lot Of unnecessary and, perhaps,
incompetent officials and employees.
While the government force is being
reduced TO a legitimate and working basis
the civil service rules are implicitly
obeyed. The Chairman of the Civil Service
Commission with commendable frequency
steps to the front and informs an inquir-
ing and interested public that no attempt
has been made to eyade the requirements
the civil service law, and that gradually
the standard of efficiency Of government
clerks is being raised. As long as there
j, an evident purpose to give the country
clean, economical and an efficient govern
mcnt the growls OF disappointed office
seekers will not be heard.

An Interesting Phase OF Gen. Law
IONS Case

1t is little remarkable that the ques-
ton whether Gen. Lawton is eligible to
Office or not should have been raised just
when it was. AS far as yet known, how
ever, the question was not raised for any
other purpose than to have it settled.
OF course it is a question on which the
ablest lawyers will continue to differ un-
til it is finally settled BY Congress or
the Supreme Court. 1t may not, how
ever, be considered of sufficient import
ance TO be kept alive after the present
discussion Of it dies out.
1t cannot be denied, Of course, that tine
fourteenth amendment imposes disabiu-
ties on a certain class, and probably,
it will not be denied that the people, by
amendment TO the constitution, can le-
impose disabilities that have been re-
moved. The question which presents
itself now is whether the intention was
that the amendment should apply to ali
who incurred disabilities or only TO those
whose disabilities had not been removed
at the time it was adopted.
Evidently the Republicans held,
until an issue was made IN Gen. Law
toms case, that the amendment applied
only to those whose disabilities had not
been removed. II they had held other
wise they would have raised the question
of Gen. Lawton's eligibility in 1876. when
they closely scanned every Presidential
electors record. Gen. Lawton was
Tilden elector and was President Of the
Georgia electoral college. Nothing would
nave ggaufCd the Republicans more than
TO have been able to have thrown out Gen.
Lawton's vote. If the fourteenth amend
ment applies to him now it applied
to him in 1876. The fact that no
question as to his eligibility was
raised then shows how they interpreted
the fourteenth amendmeEt at that time.
If they really overlooked Gen. Lawtou's
alleged inelisibihty in 1876 they ougnt TO
have had too much respect for their repu-
tation for shrewdness to have called at
tention to it in 1885.
Nobody seems to have taken the trouble
TO inquire why the question of eligibility
was not raised in the cases OF Gen. Jack
son and Attorney General Garland.
