a WRONG SCHEME.


A proposition is to come before Congress
to establish home for disabled Confeder-
ate soldiers. 1t is wrong movement.
The nation cannot afford to give it a ma
tional character. 1t would be we'll enough
to set up such an institution, but the means
should flow from the pockets of the people
voluntarily, and not be taken by Congress.
The mantle Of charity in this case cannot
cover the scheme sufficiently to make it
discreet action. We do not impugn the
motives of the projectors of the plan; it
originated with Union soldiers, and cannot
therefore be said to be selfish in its gene
SIS. But it is nevertheless i'll advised
Any effort to officially place the soldiers of
The late Confederacy on any plane of
recognition by the Government must and
ought to fail The Louisville Courier
Journal, referring to the project, says:
Cosgress viii give no such aid as proposed to
disabled Confederate soldiers. Those soldiers
themselves have never expected il and Would
never ask it. If such a measure be brought be-
lore Congress the Confederate soldiers in that
body VIII be the first to oppose it and vote
against II. The Chartably disposed people who
are behind this movement, il there is such a
movement, should realize this in the outset, and
thus save those whom they would bslriend a
deal of ill-timed Misrepresentation and spare
themselves q waste of effort aud the disappoint-
ment OF defeat.

WE CoNCUR.-The Dixon Tribune of De
cember 10Th says:
We notice disposition among our con-
temporaries to intensity the shame and
disgrace of Arthur D. January. late Deputy
State Treasurer, by repeated reference to
the enormity of his crime. Let him endure
his punishment in silence. 1t is cruel to
add to the load of his anguish He sinned
grievously, but the atonement he has al
ready made is sufficient to break the heart
of one more hardened in crime. The blow
has killed q young, beautiful and trusting
wife, whose funeral he was not even per-
| mitted to attend. Ten of the best years of
his life are to be spent in letters. If he
survives his prison life he Will be an old
man, broken in fortune and spirits. That
Is enough. Other State officers have gone
out of the Capitol building with dirtier
hands and blacker hearts than those of
poor January, and political influence and
rich friends have saved them from the hu.
initiation and punishment they so richly
deserved. Some men seem to prosper in
crime he is not of that class, and for that
reason there yet remains some hope for
him. He shows disposition to accept his
punishment as righteous retribution. and
he is at least entitled to the silence of for
getfulneSS.

THE San Francisco Alta is Democratic
journal. But it has one quality that does
not belong TO the party of the day-it is
courageous enough to draw the line be-
tween just action and party gain. Thus, ii
frankly admits that its party has made
the admission of Dakota partisan ques-
ton. To admit Dakota is to augment Re
publican strength. But to admit her to
the Union is what justice demands. She
possesses all the requisites for Statehood,
and no reason except partisan Jealousy can
keep her out of the sisterhood of sovereign
States. As the Ala puts it; "To deny
independence to such Territory, by re-
fusing it admission on political grounds
alone, is to plead party weakness and lack
of truth. 1t is holding on to power by a
grip which the American people delight
in breaking with club"

ing:
During the late storm farmer of our
valley lost his almanac. A neighbor pass
ing his place last Saturday found him idle,

vote, since negroes are sent to State Prison
for comparatively slight ofenses. Thus
far the system has been maintained with
but slight opposition. for Texas is Demo-
cratic State. But now the workingmen,
irrespective of party, are rising up against
this new phase of slavery, for it is COM
petition with free labor worse than under
the old slavery regime. Free labor never
has and never can stand up against slave
labor. 1t may demonstrate the superiority
of its quality as much as it pleases, but the
master ola slave believes he can better afford
to work his bondman than he can to hire
free man for the same service. Unfortu-
nately, as in Georgia and other Southern
States, the workingmen are few, and their
protest is as yet feeble. But their comrades
at the North have heard their plant and
have promised them assistance. They are
fortified by justice, reason and economic
State administration, and IN time they
must succeed in uprooting the infamous
renting system.

Orange Opposition to Home Rule in Ire.
land.

DUBLIN December 21st.-The Grand
Orange Lodge of Ireland held a meeting in
| Dublin to-day, to devise means for oppos-
| ing home-rule for Ireland. A large num-
Der of Peers, and several Loyalist members
of the House of Commons. were present
A manifesto, addressed to the Orangemen
of Great Britain, was drafted, and will be
posted throughout Great Britain and Ire
land tomorrow. The manifesto declares
that Professionalism, in three of the four
provinces of Ireland, is at the mercy of
avowed conspirators, who are endeavoring
to overthrow the rule of the Imperial Gov
eminent; claims that the Loyalists repre-
sent the industry and intelligence of Ire
land, and says one of the first points which
the Parncllites will seek to obtain will be
the complete control of educational mat
tiers. This would give them control over
the rising generation, while the command
of the police would make them
masters of the present generation
The slightest relaxation of the ties of
the union, the manifesto SAYS, will
eventuate in the separation and ultimate
ruin of the country, as it will establish
drill ground for hostile armies and dock
yards for foreign fleets in the most vulner-.
able part of the Empire.

THE Oakland Tribune asks if there is
no method by which the hydraulic min
ing companies now openly violating the
mandates of the Courts can be made to
obey the law? Well, yes; if the bosses"
can be caught they can be punished for
contempt; but. Judging by past efforts, it
takes about six months time to catch and
punish a "bosS" and in that time the
mine he controls can wash down slum-
gullion enough to fill Oakland creek bank
full and clear out to the mud flats, with a
reserve sufficient to cover all Oakland up
to the fourth fence board. Certainly, the
Courts can deal with the offenders, but it
is the case of the old receipt" First

4 BILL calling for $G,000000 is to be in
troduced in Congress to secure improve
ment Of the Erie canal as national ne
cessity. 1t may be that the Erie canal is
only water route for the Western ship
pers, but why the State of New York
should be wholly relieved from the cost of
It's improvement we fail to see. Nor do we
look upon this artificial waterway as a ma
tional necessity. The time when it was of
greatest usefulness is one of the past, and
ITS parallel cannot exist again. The need
for canal improvement, even admitting it
10 be Of national Importance, cannot COM
pare with the pressing demand for atten-
lion to be given to the national navigable
waterways the rivers of the country. We
are told that the idea is absurd to expect
congress to appropriate-even on long
term of years-money enough to reclaim
the Sacramento river, yet here is demand
for flat sum of S6,000,0O0 for a canal, and
the people of New York appear to be con-
fident that it will be granted. If the peo-
pie of California are sufficiently spirited
and persistent they can secure all the
money needed for our rivers. 1t is mat
teTs Of asking.

Mr.. GLADsToNE's plan for the govern
ment of Ireland has not been made very
clear by the dispatches. Enough is known,
however, to make it very uncertain of
adoption. Limiting to home rule as to
local matters only, will not be received
by the radical reformers in Ireland, while
more than that will not be consented to
by England. The Irish leaders insist up
on the grant of the right to ireland to de-
fine its own policy as relates to commercial
interests, and this it is not atall probable
will be conceded by the English.

out alive have now been abandoned, but
work through the tunnel will be pushed

attract attention in Congress and give our
friends there material support.
