Rather agood story is told at the ex-

lately taken to wearing a high silk hat.
His former head-pieces have always car
ried generous allowance of dust, cob
webs and the marks of acids. Walking
up from his east side laboratory the
other day in his customary fashion,
hands clasped behind his back and eyes
seeking the earth, he was much aston
ishcd 10 observe that the boys and girls
made way for him with many marSs of

Finally he was stopped by one little
fellow, who said: "rather O'BTien, me

The political sky is less lowering
than il was. 1t twould seem as though
1t were possible to avert the threaten
ed struggle between Russia and Eng
land owing principally to the evident
indisposition Of the English ministry
TO a warlike solution of the Central
Asia question. 1t would seem, also,
as II even those who feel most in
clined to war in England now prefer
postponing it, owing to the fact that,
thanks TO English remissness and
Russian activity, England would be
somewhat at disadvantage in respec;
TO position and means OF communica-
ton. 1t is'not TO be overlooked, how
ever, that Notwithstanding the pro-
fessions and assurances of the officials
of both governments, IA strong feeling
that war is inevitable prevails among
commercial and financial men in
England-men whose interests lead
them to be careful in the collection of
information and in the formation of
opinions. At any rate the prepara-
tions for possible war are carried on
on both sides with undated vigor.
The rumors from the extreme east are
of peaceable character France aud
China have agreed to come to terms
about the Tonquiu dispute, and il ap-
pears that the preliminaries to a
definite treaty of peace are being satis-
factorily executed. The trouble in
Central America has, according to
rumor, been satisfactorily adjusted as
far as the states more Immediately in
terested are concerned. 1t is rumorcd,
however, that Mexico will press some
claims against Guatemala which un-
less recognized may lead to trouble in
the near future,

REPORTS from Saskatchewan battle
fields are somewhat conflicting. and
reliable information is scarce. IL Is
no doubt true that General Middleton
has had some sort Of an encounter
with the Riel forces, though with
what actual result it is not yet possible
to say. So far as we know there is no
unbiased newspaper correspondent
on the ground, and Dominion COM
manders have the customary English
fashion of rendering two sets Of re-
ports Of their engngements-one TO
the government and another TO the
public-which are by no means dppli-
Gates Of each other. 1t SCENIC prob.
able. however, that Riels forces are
much smaller than has been supposed
and that they are not thoroughly
equipped. They have about unlim'
tied facilities for retreat, but II Mid

THE conviction of Fish, the former
president of the Marine Bank, on the
charges of misapplying the funds of
the bank and making false entries in
its books, must be regarded as pre-
cdeent ofsignal importance considered
with reference to the development of
our criminal law. 1t establishes the
possibility of bringing tojustice very
dangerous class Of offenders, who have
hitherto generally escaped scot free,
partly by reason of the difficulty of
bringing their crimes within the pro-
hibitions of a somewhat antiquated
criminal law; partly ne reason of the
influence derived from the possession
of ill-acquired wealth, or from social
position TO which unfortunately the
eyes of the agents of justice have not
always been blind. The result of the
Fish trial would seem to demonstrate
that the law is comprehensive enough
in its scope to protect the community
from the crimes of eminent trust
breakers and corrupters of commercial
morality. as well as from the more
open though perhaps less dangerous
filchers of the property Of their fel-
lows. Looked at from this point Of
view and in the light OF previous at
tempts to bring criminals Of the
former class TO justice, Judge Bene-
dict did not speak too strongly when
he called the case not alone hn import
ant but wonderful one.

THE UNION Halter.
The Man Who Is Not Wanted to Raise the
Flag of Sectionalism.


Judging from recent expressions, it is
quite evident that the "bloody shirt"
issue was placed in the Ohio Republican
platform at the instance of Senator
John Sherman. The Senator is a
candidate for reelection, and his inter-
estS are regarded as paramount in the
Ohio issue. just after the holding of
the convention General Grant gave
utterance to those noble sentiments in
his interview with General Buckner
which have made such deep impress
sion upon the country, and have made
General Grants name to be revered and
hOnored at the South as well as at the
North. One OF the chief glories that
clustered about the obsequies of the Ia
mented nero was the fact that two of
the most distinguished Generals who
represented the vanquished were among
the bearers at his funeral. johnson
and Buckner did not play an isolated
part. They were not exceptional char
acters. They were the representatives
of States numbering several millions of
people. They were not only conquered
by Grants sword, for the greatest con-
quest was made by Grants magnanimi-
ty. And that is what made the victory
complete.
The circumstance at once directed
attention to the Ohio Republican plat
form, and all patriotic people looked
upon the raising of the sectional issue
as most unfortunate. But not so Sem
ator John Sherman. He wants the
strife between the North and the South
to continue and rankle until it brings
forth more bitter fruit. And that very
fact demonstrates of itself that John
Sherman is not fit man to represent a
State in the Senate OF the Nation. Men
are not Wante there who are constant
ly disposed to raise the flag of section
aiism. Sherman approves of the Ohio
platform, and takes every opportunity
in his speeches to keep alive that bit
ter sectional feeling which can only be
looked upon as the last resort of a
thOrough-going demagogue.
Mr.. Sherman has had his eye on the
Presidency for wears. In 1880 he had
/ the delegation from his own State, but
Garfield carried off the prize In 1884
the wires were cunninglv laid for Blaine
in spite of him. 1t is said that Blaine
defeat caused few tears to trickle down
his cheeks. Now he is on the war-path
for the continuance of his political life.
If he succeeds himself to the Senate. he
will loom up as probable candidate in
1888. If he fails now his political sun
will 60 down probably to rise no more.
1t does not look As though the dying
embers of sectionaliSm could ever be
famed again into life by any set OF
dema@ogues. Let the leaders of the
crusade be frowne down by all patri-
otto people, AMI let our country be in
reality what it is in name, the United

lures and instituted business methods.
Then, under the heading of What
has been done during the SIX months
existence of the Administration. he emf
tomizeS as follows:
1t has resisted all pressure for the apooint-
ment TO TeSpons BILE positions OF men believed
TO represent great land or railroad corpora
tons
Ii has saved many hundreds OF thousands of
dollars to the Government in the matter of
contracts for the coming year.
Ii has saved more than $1,000 in the con-
tract for Indian supplies for the present fiscal
year, as compared with the last year seIpendi-
lures.
1t has adopted the policy of strict adherence
and construction aS regards Indian treaties,
and proposes TO hold the Indians to their con-
tracts.
1t has banished or begun to Danish an in
terlopers from the Indian reservations and in
the execution of this policy will make no dis
tlnction between the warrant frontier brawier
and the herders of hundreds of thousands of
cattle.
Ii has restored. and is restoring millions of
acres of public lands that are now covered by
fraudulent entries or d distorted claims.
1t has proclaimed the public lands the heri-
tage OF the people. and ordered the removal of
the fences that enclose millions of acres of the
Government domain in the interest of vast
monopOlieS, cutting the settlers OF from the
courses, ponds and best cattle pasturage.

a Democratic Administration hopes to
give to the people during its existence.
