NEW YORK POLITICS.

The political situation in New York is be- coming decidedly interesting. It is evident that the Republicans "mean business" The Republican State committee at it's meeting at Saratoga displayed an appreciation of the existing state of affairs which is encouraging. For instance, the call for the convention, which is to be held at Saratoga September g, two days before the Democrats assemble at the same place, takes no note of past diff ferences. It broadly invites to share in the primaries ''al voters who adhere to the prin- ciples of the Republican party, and whose general intention is to act with the party and promote it's success at the next general cleo tion without regard to any so-called 'funda- mental test.'" This resolution was intro duced by one of the old ''machine'' politi- clans, and its unanimous adoption indicates that the stmachinists" have heard of the h. dependents.
 The entire sentiment at Saratoga favored the nomination of the very best candidate. This is the only way to win. We do not be. lieve that many of the Independents are anx. ious to vote with the Democrats any longer than they are obliged to, and if the Republicans will give them 8 first class candidate their votes will be forth coming for him. For the office of governor the men whose names are most often mentioned are Senator Evarts, General Carr, now completing his third term as Sec retsry of State, Judge Andrews, of the Court of Appeals, MT. Morton, late minister to France, and Andrew D. White, late presi- dent of Cornell university. Any one oi them would command the confidence of the people, and would be reasonably sure ot election. If Senator Evarts takes tho nsmi' nation and is elected his presidential boom will at once assume large proportions.
 On the Democratic side Governor Hill means to secure the inderssment of re-elec- ton if he can. His supporters loudly de- clare that he will have no trouble in doing it. His most prominent rivals are ex-Mayor Cooper and ex-Congressman Flower, both of whom have money enough to make "the boys" work hard, and perhaps Governor Hill will find out by the time the convention meets that he has not so many faithful friends as he thinks he has.
 The contest is going to be an interesting and significant one. The vote will be care fully studied by all who seek to understand the drift of political opinion.

4rly Goods.

About the only things in oul Cotton Dress Goods Stock not likely to sell were a lot of fine Scotch Ginghams at 4oc yard and some French Sateens at 35c. They were too fine quail ties and too high priced. They are just as fine now, but the price has been made I8c. They are a bargain.
 We looked through the En- broidery Stock last week and found some short lengths some soiled pieces-some pieces which have been with us too long. We laid out a table full of bargains. In the lot are some at soc which were marked $I and SIPS, some at 25c which were 75c, some not marked down as much, but all very cheap and positive bargains.
 Remember please that we have made reductions in the prices of all our Dress Goods, all our Black Goods, all our Silks and Velvets. Remember please that all our fine Summer Gloves are down below cost. Remember please that Fans and Parasols are marked at prices to close out stock at once.

scheme. The society has increased until it includes many of the leading scholars of the empire, and numbers nearly three thousand members. It has adopted rules of orthogra- phy, and has perfected it's scheme for mak- ing the momentous change it proposes.
 Mir. J. W. Schuckers, of Philadelphia, once private secretary to Chief Justice Chase, makes an important correction of MT. Ward Lannon's account of the first draft of the emancipation proclamation. Mr. Lamon says that when Mr. Lincoln submitted the paper to his cabinet the concluding para graph read as follows: "And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice warranted by the Constitution upon military necessity, invoke the considerate judgment of mankind" According to MT. Lannon's statement, Secretary Chase, feeling that some recognition of Divine Providence was proper, suggested the addition of the seven words at the end of the above sentence, land the gracious favor of Almighty God" MT. Sl eker's story is that, after reading the proclamation to Secretary Chase, MT. Lin coin asked him to put in writing a memo
 
 suggested, which the Secretary did in com munieation dated December 31, 1862, the last paragraph of which was in these words: Finally, I respectfully suggest that on an occasion of such interest there can be no just imputation of affection against a solemn recognition of responsibility before men and before God, and that some such close as fol- lows will be proper: And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice warranted by tho Constitution and of duty demanded by the circumstances of the coun- try, invoke the considerate judgment of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God'" MT. Lincoln at once recognized the propriety of this invocation, and adopted it, with the modification, it appears in the immortal document, of striking out the words, fAnd of duty demanded by the cir cumstances of the country" and substi- tuting therefor the words "Upon military necessity"

An Archmo1ogist at Mount Desert.

ReCOrO.J A story is told of the experience of ex- Mayor Green, of Boston, at Mount Desert before that lovely island had become the re- sort of fashionable pleasure seekers. Dr. Green, finding nothing better to do, obtained shovel and began to dig in an adjacent
 mound, which, from it's appearance, suggest ed to him an aboriginal origin. While en- gagged in this work @ woman rushed out furiously from the hotel and shouted:
 "What are you diggin' there fors You just stop it''
 "Oh,'' replied Dr. Green, ''I was looking for curiosities in this Indian mound''
 ''That ain't no Indian mound,'' replied the woman, ''that's where them Higgins children is buried"
 The doctor stopped digging.

LET CONGRESS- SETTLE IT.

The Oklahoma raiders have once more with
drawn before the United States troops, but it Is
not to be supposed that the trouble is therefore
ended. On the contrary, what must be expected
is that they will simply wait until the troops are
Withdrawn and then repeat their invasion. 1t
is the more certain that they will do this be-
cause they have no reason to fear any punish
ment, Judging from the past, and because also
they are now encouraged by the sympathy of
MANY of the Kansas people. The present situa-
ton, therefore, cannot be regarded as in any
sense a settlement of the case, and Congress
ought to take advantage Of the opportunity to
put the question at rest. OF course it will not
do to take any steps which can be construed
into an encouragement of such lawless action as
the late Payne and his followers have been
guilty Of, and it is especially necessary that the
wild Western idea that the Indians have no
rights which white men are bound to respect
should be discOuntenanced. Whatever com
pacts have been entered into with the Indians
must be respected, and the rights of the latter
must be protected. But it does not follow that
mistaken policies may not be amended, and it
is quite possible to do justice to the Indians
without maintaining arrangements which events
show to have been ill-advised and bad.
1t is clear that if the Indians are to be made
citizens and helped and encouraged to occupy
land in severalty, the former methods of setting
apart large tracts for their use in common will
have to be discarded Either of several sub
stitutes for this plan may be adopted but where
large areas of land which have been segregated
are shown to be practically valueless to the In
dams, while they may be well adapted for gem
eral settlement, the most practical mode would
probably be to reserve for the Indians out of
such tracts so much land as would suffice when
distributed in allotments to subsist them under
the new conditions and then to compensate
them for the surplus, and throw it open to pre-
emption and homestead entry.

change In not likely to occur. Revcrsion to

OPENING THE PACIFIC.

Manv are naturally disappointed at the defeat
of the Nicaragua canal treaty. The project
had attractive features but there were also
drawbacks quite outside the range OF Clayton
nulwer and other considerations heretofore
urged. A glance at some OF these may
lead even the friends of the treaty to
realize that there is less to regret In its
defeat than some of them thought. AS matters
NOW stand. the commerce of the Pacific Ocean is
virtually under our control. Commanding
magnificent ports on the Pacific, and able to
TRANSPORT over lines of railway either troops,
sailors, materials, munitions or supplies from
Atlantic to Pacific ports in ten days, this Nation
has an ;ncalculable advantage over any other, IL
war should make it necessary to defend our
commerce in the Pacific. But canal across
the isthmus would sweep away both advantages
almost wholly. If the canal were open to the
fleets of all Nations, the vast superiority 0f
Great Britain, and indeed of some other Powers,
in number and efficiency of ships, would be
quickly felt in the commerce OF the racine
Ocean, and our Pacific coast and commerce
would be in no respect better protected than
the Atlantic. All the advantage which the
possession Of interior lines Of railway gives
would cease to be of much avail. IT, on the
other hand our Government should endeavor
to close the canal against hostile Powers, or
against armed vessels and munitions and sup
plies. it would be compelled to maintain at
either entrance to the canal, on the Atlantic and
on the Pacific coast, navy more powerful than
that of any other Nation.
The vast advantage which this Nation enjoys
in extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific
Ocean, and having ports, and ship-yards, and
commerce, and thriving population on both
coasts, separated for all hostile Powers by the
long sea voyage around Cape Horn or the Cape
of Good Hope but united for us by lines of
railway and telegraph, can hardly be over-esti
mated. 1t is an advantage which this Nation
should not throw away without most serious
and careful conside. ton, at least until we are
prepared to contend with any other Nation on
the globe in naval va fare.

GENERAL WOLsELEY'S EXPEDITION

General Stones paper on Lord W0lseley's
expedition is timely review of military oper-
ations of phenomenal interest. The writer's
long residence in Egypt and familiarity with
the tactics required in Nile campaigning render
his reflections of peculiar value. Like all the
American officers who have been in Khedival
service, he has strong prejudices against English
diplomacy and is suspicious that disaster may
overtake n military staff that is proverbial for
delay and blundering in the early stages of its
campaigns His structures in the present
instance are well founded, and he cannot be
charged with captious criticism.
The official instructions given to Lord WOlse-
ley define the object of his expedition to be the
rescue of General Gordon. When that end has
been accomplished no further offensive opera
tions of any kind are to be undertaken and
when a road has been opened for General Cor
don's retreat the march southwark is to be
suspended and the campaign is to be brought to
a close. Literally interpreted, these instruc-
tions would require General Wolseley's column
to halt at Metemneh to send steamers for
General Gordon, and then to retire from the
scene of hostihties. General Stone argues that
these orders were probably written for the
English public, and that subsequent instruc-
tions have been issued for the regulation of the
expedition. Certainly Lord Wolseley has
pacfed the Nile Valley so far as he has gone,
and the operations now proceeding will estab-
lish English prestige all tho way from Dongola
to Kbartoum. Some use will undoubtedly be
made of that prestige. The English are a
practical people. They are willing to pay for
costly military campaigns, but they usually
insist upon having something to show for the
blood and treasure
New-York tribune., 1885-02-01

the old state of things would be most unwlse,
for experience compels the conclusion that that
can only be maintained by military occupation
of the disputed territory, and this, OF course Is
not to be thought of. Moreover, since the best
authorities concur in urging Congress to amend
its Indian policy altogether, there Is no motive
for attempting to restore the old conditions anu
it is further to be considered that the adoption
of the proposed new Indian policy Will incl
dentally benefit the white settlers and thus clear
away fruitful source of irritation and trouble.
The iuncture in fact is specially favorable for
Congressional action on the lines indicated,
and if such action is not taken, the repetition
of all the lawlessness and confusion now
checked for the moment must be anticipated.
