himself, if some manifestation of re-
stored executive goodwill can be
made. He is in Washington, and
so is Col. Burke, whose winning
smile and fascinating manner are
daily observed in the white house
by visitors to the president. Burke
and Eustis are warm friends, and
they train in the same political band
in Louisiana. Mr.. Eustis has not
yet gone to the white house, but it
is said that Col. Burke has gone a
long way toward preparing for
cordial reception of the junior sena-
tor. Mr.. Eustis is out in the cold
at the beginning of what may be a
very inclement winter, and 1t Is be-
lieved that he would be glad if he
could blot out his New Orleans in
tervieW and start fresh in his search
for presidential favors.

derstanding between employers and
employes.-Minneapolis Tribune.
The question, important to all
concerned, is what attitude shall the
north present to the south in the
treatment of national politics. We
have on the one hand the doctrines
of Senators Sherman and Hoar,
which makes, even in the state cam
paigns, the issue to be the necessity
and expediency of enforcing distrust
of the south; the indispensableness
of assuming that it is at heart dis
loyal, and of keeping up at any rate
and openly an attitude of armed
neutrality-of saying and doing that
which only could or would be said
or done as against watchful and
threatening foe. On the other hand,
large proportion of the republican
party of the north is ready to say,
as it believes, that the war is really
over; that the ex-confederates are
loyal to the constitution and to the
union, and that the north ought to
be patient with it in the difficult
problem of dealing with the colored
race. In word that we ought in
both sections of the country to see
how well we can agree upon gener-
al principles rather than in attempt
ing to stir up strife. -Providence

The president has trumped a neat
trick of the land grabbers of New
Mexico. Some time ago William y.
Vincent was appointed chief justice
of the territory. 1t now appears
that he had been interested, as a
lawyer at least, in the disputed land
titles of which that territory bears
such n plentiful crop, and his desire
to get this particular appointment
may not have been wholly uncon-
nected with his interest in these. In
the appointment of the notorious
Stephen W. Dorsey as a commits
sioner to draw grand and petit jul
rors the interest of the chief Justice
in the schemes of the land grabbers
was so apparent that the president
promptly suspended him from office,
pending an Inquiry iQto his extraor-
binary selection oi , commissioner
., jurors. The probability i, that
his future function in settling land
claims will not be performed on the
bench.

Did Conkling Punish HaiStead

Washington Dispatch to Milwaukee Telegram.
Rose oe Conkling and Mr.. Halstead have
been enemies for many years, although
they both belonged to the same political
party. Conkling never forgave Halstead
for having made war on Grant when he
was running for the Presidency in 1872
and for supporting Greedy the same year
Halstead has awaited himself of every
good opportunity to give Mr.. ConklinS
a singing blow between the eyes. Mr..
Conkling manages to get even with
nearly all of the men who fight him. He
evened up with Blaine lrst year: this
year he has killed off Murat Halstead.
You remember that Conkling spent
few months in Europe this year. Kate
Chase Sprague is there. They met, and
Mr.. Conkling wanted the latter. He
knew that the publication of the letter
so soon after the death of General Grant
would knock Murat Halstead into a
shapeless mass-strike him TO the ground,
as it were, and that he would fall with a
dull thud, so to speak. He succeeded in
getting it, and so did Johnny Mclean.
The blow was struck, and Murat Hal

There is a law on the statute
books of Georgia forbidding the sale
of liquor to an intoxicated man.
The person doing SO is subject, on
conviction, to imprisonment on the
chain-gang not exceeding six months
and fine of 81 900. The law has
remained imperative because nobo-
dy will take the trouble to prose
cute. However, there is now about
to be a test case of the law. The
Young Mems Christian Association
Of Atlanta have undertaken to pro-
secute a saloon man who sold whis-
ky to young man who is said to
have been intoxicated at the time.

The Lee county Sun says: Hon. R.
A. Ayers opened the canvass in this
county on the part of the Democracy
last Tuesday. There was quite con-
trast between the speech delivered by
the " WAGNER" and that delivered by
the head Of the opposite ticket, John
S. Wise. Mr.. Ayers's speech was
sound, logical, and convincing. He
dwelt upon the issues involved in the
canvass and left vile abuse and vulgar
anecdotes to be dealt out by the more
vulgar class. His object was to lay the
facts before the people. and this he did
with admirable success. lie spoke as
if he was addressing sensible and in
telligent men, and not like Wise, who
spoke as if he was addressing fools and
back-woodsmen who knew nothing Of
civilized life. Mr.. Ayers made no as
sertions but what he could verify with
evidence. He denied many of the as
sertions made by Wise, and produced
the proof to show that they were false.
Any Republican who heard Mr..
Ayers's speech and was not made to
consider and draw a contrast between
the two parties was either fool, as
Wise adjudged him, or was Republic
can because of madness and not Of just,
plain, and sensible reason.
You can put old Lee down at just
double the majority she gave last fall.
Her people are going to rebuke the
outcast. She will show that no "apos-
tate for the price of his apostacy :"
shall come here to abuse and SANDER
her good people without a scathing re-
buke. If we are in the mountains We
are still Virginians, and have little
sense. We know that our candidate is
not General r. f. Lee. but Fitzhugh
Lee. AT any rate, we can tell the De-
mocrat from the Republican ticket, and
if Mr.. Wise don't believe we can he will
find it out on the Sd of November,
when the mountain counties Of this
State roll up against him.

and crowds followed them through the
streets. When asked how he felt, Hol-

affair beyond the fact that Davis and
his pals had tried to rob him.
Mrs. Davis, wife Of the murdered gam
bier, is at Rockaway Beach, and in total

Mr.. Parnell said if home rule were re-

England could either grant the Irish the
right to rule themselves or make the
country crown colony. The latter
would be practically tantamount to the
former. lie denounced outrages, say
ing that continuation of them would
be a terrible blow to the Irish cause.
