J.oHN SHERMAN.s ISSUE.

Senator John Sherman appears de.
termined to wave the bloody shirt even
if it kills his party. In a recent inter.
view with him by a reporter Of the
Youngstown tOhio) New-Register the
Senator said: 81 regard the Southern
question as by far the most important
before the American people. 1t cannot
be sneered down nor driven from public
view by cant phrases and demsgogism.
/ think Gov. Hoadly will be compelled
either to admit the suppression Of the
colored vote and adopt the Democratic
argument of justification, or deny the
truth Of what his Democratic friends in
the South freely admit. He cannot dc
the former because of his own Abolition
record, and / should be well pleased to
have him attempt the latter.
The question has nothing to do with
dead issues. 1t is q living question.
Shall n white man in Mississippi WELD
twice or three times the influence in ma
tional affairs welded by a white man in
Ohio! When men tell me that it is i'm
polite to call attention to such mon
strous unfairness and that to oppose
such rank injustice is to risk party defeat
l answer by saying: If the Republican
party has no longer the courage to de
fend the right and insist upon justice ant
the equality Of all sections Of the Unior
it ought to be defeated.
81 had rather be permanently retired
from public life than seem by silence t,
consent to the suppression Of the coloret
vote in the South and the injustice result
ing therefrom to all parts of the country
The Northern people are not fully awak
to the importance OF this issue. I deen
it a patriotic duty to arouse the publ
conscience on a question of such vita
and far-reaching Importance, and / shall
not be deferred from so doing by con
siderations of mere policy"

Speaking of Thanksgiving Day, we are
reminded that the people who are not
satisfied with anything as it is are agitat.
ing again the notion of having the date
for the great New England holiday
changed to some time early~in October.
They say that the present date is too
near Christmas. and that the second
week in October would be more appropri.
ate. as coming at the end of harvest.
We do not believe they can ever succeed
in their endeavor. Thanksgiving is too
intimately associated with turkeys and
mince pie to be moved forward six weeks.
What would Thanksgiving dinner be
without a turkey! And who wants to
eat turkey in October!

Sheep in the Northwest Territories.

A letter received by Col Mack J..
Leaning from Mr.. Alexander Begg,
who is now in Ottawa, has this to
say in regard to the sheep purchased by
him from Messrs. Rice q Leaning and
driven north last summer: Il hear
good reports of the weather and sheep
in Alberta. My son writes me that the
sheep are doing very well, and that
he has not lost any during the winter
from severe cold. They have fed out
all along with only a small quantity of
hay in their maIgers or racks at night
The weather has not been SO severe with
us as with you. While in Montana you
have had raging billiards. and extreme
cold, our stock were feeding quietly in
the sheltered grassy valleys and beauti-
full slopes of Bow and High rivers y
The sheep driven north last summer
was taken more as an experiment than
ANYTHING else. The success of Mr..
Beggs venture and others who were
willing to be the pioneers of this indus
try in the Northwest, will with its
reward. The result has more than JUS
titled all expectations, and we may be
sure that our market for sheep for the
next five years will be the Northwest

Department Matters.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Secretary
Lamar received great number Of con-
gratulatory calls to-day. The commits
sioner Of the general land office, COM
missioner Of Indian affairs and commits
sioner of pensions had prepared their
designations, but at the request of the
secretary deferred presenting them until
Monday One of Secretary Lamar's
first official acts was to reinstate Mr..
Hanna as private secretary 20 the secre-
tary of the interior, which position he
had held under Secretaries Schurz and
Teller. From remarks that have been
made by the new secretary, it is evi-
IDENTIFY his intention to adopt u very
conservative course in making changes
in the personnel of the interior depart
ment and he is said to be thoroughly in
sympathy with President Cleveland's
views upon civil service principles.
Postmaster General Villas also received
a number of callers, but left the depart
ment early in the afternoon, thus pre-.
venting the assistant postmasters gene
raj from presenting their designations.
In the state, war and navy depart
ment buildings this morning the retir-
ing secretaries bade their chiefs and
clerks who had served under them good
bye and complimented them on their
services.

w ash1ngton News.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Col. La
mont intends to do away with the pres
ent system Of keeping full record Of
all business brought to the attention of
the president, and to confine the record
to such matters only as require his
individual attention, all other docu-
ments to be referred to the departments
to which they relate and simple record
kept of their reference.
The number of applications for post
masterships received to-day at the post
office department has never been equal
ed in any previous day, and the first as
sistant postmaster general found it nec-
essarY to detail special force to file
them.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Crosby has resigned, and his resignation
has been accepted.
At 2 o'clock the members of the diplo-
matte corps called on the new secretary
of state.
President Cleveland again held open
house to-day and received q large num-
Der of visitors, including congressional
delegations from various states. In or
der to devote himself to official matters
before the senate requiring his attention
the president will have to deny himself
to visitors for few days.

The London Press on the Inaugural Ad-
dress.

LONDON, March 5.-The Times says
the inaugural issue is conceived in
worthy spirit, but throws no light upon
the main question awaiting solution.
The Standard speaks of the inaugural
address Of president Cleveland in mourn
full tones. 1t says he carefully avoided
ticklish issues. His speech was manly
and sensible, but void Of distinct de-
clarations of democratic policy. There
was nothing tangible in his address
either to condemn or admire. The
Standard thinks the outlook for Cleye-
lands administration gloomy because
he has no war record to back him.
The Daily News says editorially
president Cleveland will have the
hearty sympathy Of England. It was
our desire that there should be perpetual
peace, growing friendship and increas-
ing commerce. Everything bearing US
nearer together in interest and feeling
is gain to both and to peace and free
dom throughout the World.o
