An Unfortunate Visit.

The visit of President Cleveland to
the battle field Of Gettysburg was un-
fortunate. 1t showed he either lacked
patriotism or ability to speak his senti-
ments under the circumstances. Had
James G. Blaine stood in his place he
would have thrilled the soldiers gath
cred there with his words of lofty pa
triotism and love Of liberty, and called
forth plaudits from one end of the Union
to the other. To compare Blaine with
Cleveland, however, Is like comparing
Hyperion to a Satyr.
We all remember how the terse, pithy
sentences uttered by the lamented Lin
coin on this battle field, were echoed
and re-echoed through the land, indi-
eating heart in sympathy with the
Union, and that he was neither ashamed
nor afraid to avow the faith he main
tanned The failure of Cleveland to
speak is not creditable to his head nor
to his heart. He had much better uni
tated Secretary Bayard and declined to
visit that field, which was the turning
point in the fortunes of the rebels, and
contributed to the final dissolution of
the rebellion. AS much as Mr.. Cleve-
land may owe the quondsm rebels for
his elevation to the Presidency, he
should not have neglected the opportu'
nifty presented to show his hatred OF
lawlessness and his love for this glori-
GUS Union of States, through which our
country is destined to become the great
est nation on the face of the earth.

President Cleveland has appointed
twenty-five or thirty post-masters in
the different States, to take the place of
gentlemen who had resigned or whose
terms had expired. Out of the whole
number there was rot found one who
was worthy of re-appointment. The
doctrine to the victors belong the spoils,
is coming into practice, and the ex-
pectant aspirants for appointment are
becoming more hopeful. Only the
Mugwumps are disappointed. We
never believed that Cleveland would
closely adhere to the doctrine OF civil
service reform. Had he been so dis
posed he could have not done So" the
po wer behind the throne being greater
than the throne itself" The Demo
Gratis would have revolted had they not
been selected to fill the offices, and the
life of the President would have been
made very bitter.
They will now applaud him to the echo
and they will become a happy family.
Before and after the election are differ
ent conditions, it was then my country
now it is my party. The offices, how
ever, are Of little consequence compared
with the employment of the great mas
of people. When voters understand
this it will be the better for them ant
the country at large. The few onl,
can get office while the great mas
of unemployed workmen may beg 0
starve.

Uncertainty of Punishment.

The uncertainty of the conviction of
persons who commit crime has a ten.
dency to encourage lawlessness, and
render life and property insecure. The
acquital of Richard Short of the at
tempt to murder Thomas Phelan, by
the Court in New York, must be con.
demned by every law-abiding citizen.
That be committed the assault was
clearly proven, yet he was declared tc
be not guilty. Ia order to deter Others
from committing crime, the guilty
must be punished. If juries refuse tt
find verdicts in accordance with the
law and the testimony, the system will
become farce, mockery of justice
and our country will eventually be
overrun with criminals. Every man IL
interested in this matter, and the names
of Jurors who fail TO do their duty
should be held up to public odium and
made loathesome to themselves as vel
as to the community generally.

Now that the Republicans have So
cured a majority on joint ballot in the
Illinois Legislature, 1t is possible that
personal spite may prevent the election
of General Logan to the United States
Senate II is very small mind indeed
that will allow personal grievances to
interfere with public duty. When a
man goes into caucus he should be
bound by its decision. He is a poor
Republican that refuses to submit to
the will of the majority, or will endan-
ger the ascendancy Of his party in the
councils Of our Nation. The conse-
quences of such detection is most mo-
mentous and cannot be computed. The
| treason of Arnold is not more hateful
than such detection, and men who do
not wish to incur equal odium should
show themselves to be patriots and not
petty and narrow bigots, ready on the
least pretext to betray their friends and
sell their honor for a mess Of pottage.

England ana Russia.

The course pursued by the English
Government in regard TO the difficulty
with Russia, has given rise to q great
deal Of dissatisfaction. Prominent
men declare that the honor Of the coun-
try has been furnished and the national
reputation injured in the eyes Of the
world. Gladstone, however, Is ap-
plauded by the peace party, and If he
has been instrumental In preventing
the shedding of blood and the piling up
of mountain Of debt, he may be sus-
tanned by public sentiment. 1t is held,
however, that Russia has acted In bad
faith in extending her frontier, and that
she will not hesitate to do 30 again
when her interests require it. This is
doubtless true, yet her situation seems
to partially justify her in this course.
AS her population increases greater
outlet is required for her trade and she
naturally encroaches on the territory adj
joining her, just as our people press on
the land set apari for the Indians. We
should not therefore Judge the Russians
too harshly. They will eventually ex-
tend to other navigable streams. es-
tablish other ports of entry, or the ma
ton will fall into decay.
In the struggle for existence the
stronger party will prevail, and the
weaker one will be overshadowed or
exterminated. England cannot crush
Russia, and however unpslatablei it may
be she will have to submit to the inev-
table.
1t is said that the King Of Denmark
has consented to act as arbitrator be-
tween Eogland and Russia, and the
contest Of arms has therefore been de-
ferred, if not rendered entirely unneces-
sary. A few months will determine
the matter and in the meantime both
countries will be resting on their arms
ready to attack each other or shout
pnons over the settlement Of their
disputes, and prepare for mutual dis
armament.

1t is stated that the cremation of dead
bodies is growing in favor in London,
where a more healthful mode of the dis
position OF the dead than by burial in
the ground is becoming better under
stood. This may be true, but it will be
q long time before the people generally
will look upon that system with favor
To the great mass the idea of burning
up the bodies OF loved ones is abhorent
1t looks too much like cruelty to Gre
mate even an insensible form, that has,
become as the eloi of the valley, and
hence the old system of burial will be
adhered to for many generations, and
bodies will ba dressed with taste, costly
caskets will be procured, monu-
ments will be erected, and the place OF
burial be made as attractive as possible.
The cemeteries are adjuncts to every
city, and they are daily visited by the
thousands Their abolition would seem
like vandalism. Millions Of bodies
have found resting places in the earth,
and countless millions more will thus
be disposed Of, and the health giving
properties of the air will not be in the
least impaired. We think those who
are con cerned about the matter are only
seeking notoriety or borrowing trouble.

the President in filling up the Federal
Offices with Democrats. Their dissatis-
faction eliminated last night in an in

at which the administration was round
ly belabored for not turning the rascals
out. 1t was determined at last TO in
form the President that if he continued
Republicans in office he must look to

Cleveland should keep a bottle of Mrs.

sense of beauty, of fitness.
Any sort OF umbrella will do
in the rain. He makes the
head and the tip and every
thing between. He couldn't
do anything mean if he
wanted 10. His sticks are
sound; his ierules are plug
ged his heads are made to
take a fail on the floor as
well as to look at-thicker
than anybody else's heads
he doesn't save silver; he
isn't stingy OF work or OF

and tough, but light. In

missioners is to elect at the forthco,u.
ing meeting, and who will hold office
until next September, when success
sor will be elected by the school dis.
tricts. AS but one of the candidates
can be successful, the chances are that
there will be some tall kicking at the
selection Of the Commissioners. and
these will therefore have an early op-
portunity Of tasting the sweets of

instruction receives a monthly salary,
which is fixed by the Board. The sal
airy for the ensuing eight months will
probably not exceed 800 per month.

stealing cattle belonging to NJ. A.
Gordon, occupied the attention of the
Probate Court all day Saturday and
a portion of yesterday. 1t was to have
been concluded to-day, on the arrival
of the train, but as tho train was sew.
eral hours late the Courts decision
may not be announced until to-mor-
row.
The prosecution are anxious to have
the accused bound over to appear
before the grand jury, because of the
frequent thefts of cattle from ranges
and the almost uttec impossibility of
obtaining legal evidence of such
thefts. And it is stated that, if the
accused are held, the Idaho Cattle
Growers Association will, at the trial.
be represented by some of the leading
attorneys of the Territory.

ant. The defendant waived all tech.
nicalities and went to trial on the mer.
its of the case; and after three DAYS il
was taken from the jury by consent OF
defendant, who agreed that plaintiff
might move for judgment for $50 a.,d
the United States to pay costs. Con.
versation with the jurymen has shown
that, had the case been left to them,
they would have found the United
States indebted to Mr.. Chase in a sum
greater than $4,000. Mr.. Chase was
impelled to suffer judgment on mo-
ton of plaintiff for a nominal sum
that the matter might thus be eternally
closed and his bondsmen discharged.
We are informed that the evidence
and papers showed that had the gov.
eminent made a fair settlement with
Chase, as one honest man does an.
other, it would have paid him $4,000
instead Of suing him for q 900.
