STAND BACK, We sAoEs

The Ocouto Reporter remarks that
the nomination of Col. Spoor er
marks a new era in the management
of the republican party IN this state
aud will bring to the front in the
councils of the party councils the
young men who have been kept in the
background by old politicians who
have claimed everything and would
give the young men who did the work
nothing. The party was fast has
teulng to the same condition of de
creptude reached by the democratic
party quarter OF a century ago,
when II was deserted by the younger
element who had nothing to expect by
remaining in it, SO transferred their
allegience TO the new party which by
reaS0n of tstir accession became vic
toficus in 1850. The nomination of
Mr.. Spooner is the beginning of the
downfall Of the ring which hss for
years controlled the party in this
state, dictated its policy and nomina-
tions, and was doing irreparable in
jury to the party by driving from its
ranks men who would not Submissive
ly bow to its commands"
So, now, such claim everything
old politicians as Gen. David At
wocd, Gen. Lucius FSirchild, Horace
Rublee, VIM. I. Price, f w. Keyes
Edward Sanderson, Jerry Rusk, in
short every one who are now over
45 years Of age, stand back. "Old
men for council is an obsolete max,
i'm. Service for the party in the days
of its strain and Struggle is disqual-
i6cation. The young lads, like Col.
Spooner, and that light-hearted and
festive boy, Philetus Sawyer, and that
blooming youth, Hod, A. Taylor, are
henceforth to do the council baSi-
ness for the party, and the above
named old fellows must rot even take
back seats-for the seats are reserved
for the young men-but they must
stand up against the wall on the out
side of the crowd IN the back part Of
the hall This is fast age and men
are expected to be fossils at fifty, es
pecially, if they have been prominent
in the service of the grand old party
always excepting Philetus Sawyer
and Hod. Taylor.

his Chilian friends. He gave de.
cision a few days since in case that
caused storm of indignation to burst
| from the journals of Chill.
Other CLAIMS against Chill held by
American, Italian, Belgian, and Ger
man citizens have not yet been pre-
sented. They reach the sum OF s12,
600. 900, more or less, and refer princi-
pally to the spoilation by Chill Of
vested rights in the territory of Tara
paca, Row ceeded to Chill But the
last named nation takes the property
without acknowledging the legal
mortgage bearing on it long before
war was declared, and it is certain
that the experience of the Chorillos
claimants will be of advantage to the
proprietors of nitrate lands and Sc,
curitieS. Therefore is it that foreign
ers here who have seen their savings
of years swept away IN few hours of
drunken savagery are deeply exer-
cised over what they consider fragrant
injustice.
The famous old government palace
at Lima built by Pizarro, and the
scene of his murder, narrowly escap-
ed destruction by fire on the evening
of the 9Th ult. The flames broke out
in little shop under the long line of
balconies frontiag the main square.
Before the confagration made itself
apparent great deal of damage had
been done, and the front of the build
in, reaching from near the corner of
Gale Paiacio thc main gateway, is
now in ruins. The papers of the audit
Office, the investigation court search
ing for proofs of Indebtedness from
individuals to the government, and
other important archives were burnsd.
The treasury books were saved with
difficulty, and. as there is now little
money in the vaults or cash boxes of
the exchequer, the loss in that way
IS small. 1t is pity TIE enIire facade
of the building was not destroyed.
All visitors to Lime will re Hsmber
what blot it is on the beaatifL aain
blaza.
During the progress of the fire
conflict took place between fireman
and an officer of the police. In
moment the fremen, with their axes,
were drawn up against the bayonets
and rifles of the police. and but for
the opportune arrival of the minister
of war there would have beed blood
shed. The Lima 6remen are all
volunteers lawyers, and
the like-and have protested against
the conduct of the police, which was
wholly uncalled for.

house of mourning to prepare a corpse
for burial. By some means he con
fused the name of the dead with that
of another man, who was sick and
daily expected to die, and called at
the house of the latter with the ice
box and other pharaphernalia of the

man, and the unwelcome intruder,
after offering an explanation, beat a

The Blessing Of Sugar.


Has any housewife ever realized The
alarming condition Of cookery in the
benightcd generations before the in
vention of sugar2 II is really almost
too appalling TO think about. So many
things that we now look upon as all
but ecesSaTleS--cakes, puddings,
made dishes, confectionery, preserves,
sweet biscuits, jellies, cooked fruits,
tarts and SO forth-were then practic-
ally quite impossible. Fancy attempt
ing nowadays to live siGgle day
without sugar; no tea, no coffee, no
jam, no pudding, no cake, no sweets,
no hot toddy before one goes to bed
the bare idea of it is too terrible And
vet that was really the abiect condi-
ton of all the civilized world up to
Horace's punch was sugarless and
lcmonless; the gentle Virgil never
tasted the congenial cup Of afternoon
tea; and Socrates went from his cradle
to his grave without ever knowing the
flavor of peppermint bulls eyes. How
the children managed to spend their
Saturday as, or their weekly ob0IuS,
is profound mystery. To be sure,
people had honey; bu: honey is rare,
dear aud scanty; it can never have
filled one quarter the place that sugar
fills in our modern affections. Try
for 4 moment to realize drinking
honey with ones whisky and water,
or dong the years preserving with
pot of bests Narbonne, and you get at
once common measure of the differ
ence between the two as practical
sweeteners. Nowadays, we get sugar
from cane and beet-root in abundance,
while sugar naples and palm trees of
various sorts afford a considerable
supply 10 remoter countries. But the
childhood of the little Greeks and Ro-
mans must have been absolutely un-
lighted by single ray of joy from
chocolate creams or Eyerton taffee.

resolution reciting that bills appropria.
ting money from the treasury, originat-
Jag in the senate are now on the speak
er's table and that it is asserted that
these bills are in violation Of the
privileges of the house to exclusively
originate such bills, and directing the
judiciary committee to inquire into the
power of the senate to originate bills
appropriating revenue, and report to
the house at any time. The session was
confined to matter of personal and local
interest. Hurd said that he had rot
seen fit to int:rpose an objection but
when the senate originates bills appro-
priating 100000, 600 and effecting great
public purposes the time had arrived
when the question should be determined
whether the senate had the power which
it claimed to exercise.

THE CHEROKEE CATTLE TRAIL.
Texas DrOyers Ask that the Government Give
Their Stock Unimpeded Passage.

AUSTIN Tex, July 3-The Hon. j. D. Sayres
was in conference, today with j. T. Lyttle,
president of the Southwestern Livestock Asso-
citation, in regard to the reported interruption to
the passage of Texas cattle to Colorado over the
trail. Mr.. Sayres telegraphed to the Secretary
of the Interior as follows
cit is reported that Texas cattle are being
prevented by the United States authorities
from passing through the Cherokee strip, dis
lance of about forty miles. to reach Colorado.
If true, immediate loss will result parties hav-
ing driven from Texas about SO, 900 head of cat
tie upon the faith that they will be permitted to
pass through Have written you fully"
Major Sayres saw Governor Ireland. and at
his instance, the Governor sent Secretary Lamar
the following dispatch:
There now on the border about fifty thous-
and head of cattle on their way to Northern mar
kets from Texas, and federal officers said to be
United States marshals, have notified the own
ers that they cannot pass along the
agreed trail, across the southwest
corner of the Cherokee Nation. It is not cred
ible that this is done at the instance of the
Interior Department. | shall not believe it until
know that it is true. With other obstacles
thrown in the way of Texas commerce
by Kansas and Nebraska, this, added
for the purpose of getting the
cattle at nominal figures will prove disastrous in
the extreme, and l earnestly request that you
give such orders at your earliest convenience as
will allow these men to get to market"
Mr.. Lyttle left to-day for the trail. The cat
tie on the trail are from south and southwestern
Tayas
