At the very time Civil Service reforlners were
shouting over the appointment OF MIR. Pearson
the appointment of Mr.. Higgins, late OF Baiti-
more. was finally made. At the same time the
Superintendent of Foreign Mails was removed

Pearson himself, and a one-armed Union
soldier. to make room for "Nck" Bell, OF
Missouri, particularly well known in that State
as a ward politician and lobbyist, who knows
nothing whatever about the mail service in any
of its departments, but who has served the
Democratic party efficiently in several conven-
lions with his brazen lungs If the President
sought to find a man as c0nspicuously unilt as
Mr.. Pearson was conspicuously fit, in order to
balance the account on the spot,.h could hardly
have succeeded better than in the choice OF the
aforesaid Bell. And if he had tried to show
that, while retaining one Republican who did
not serve in the army, because he was conspicu-
ously fit for his position, he would nevertheless
remove other Republicans who were like him
conspicuously fit if they had been guilty OF
giving an arm to the service of the country, no
could hardly have done so more plainly than by
the removal of James S. Crawford.
Mr.. President, this does not look much like

THE REPUBLICAN, OUTLOOK IN NEW-YORR.
The result of the Republican primaries In this
city on Tuesday is another indication OF the
partys probable triumph at the coming election.
The recent contests throughout the State Tor
Supervisors and other local officers showed that
in the rural districts the party was making
gains, and was in good fighting trim. Harmony
and victory went together where year ago
the party met defeat The spirit of faction had
disappeared, and the desire OF leaders to control
patronage and the party machinery gave place
In n purpOse to carry out the wishes of the
people
That spirit showed itself in the city prima-
ries. There were spirited contests, proving a
sincere belief in the parly's future success; but
no ill-feeling has followed the defeat of candi-
dates for primary donors. While The names OF
a good many Republicans have been mentioned
in connection with the craftsmanship of the
County Committee, there is no scramble for that
office, and there is no likelihood of repetition
of the ill-feeling that grew ont of the contest
for that place year agu. No doubt 1t Will be
filed to the satisfaction of all members of the
party; and the present good feeling continue
throughout the coming canvass.
The great interest shown in the success OF the
party, both in the city and country, is peculiarly
gratifying considering the Importance of this
years campaign. Not only are there Governor
and Lieutenant Governor to be chosen, but also
all the State officers and members of both
branches of the Legislature. The Senators
chosen viii! vote on successor TO Mr.. Miller III
the United States Senate. In this city Sheriff,
County Clerk and other important local officers
are to be elected. If good nominations are
made for these places there is good hope oil
Republican success.
The desire shown throughout the State to
wait and see whom the people want for candi-
dates rather than to push the claims of any
man, augurs well for the future. The Repub-
licans at Albany can render assistance by tax
ing greater care of the interests OF the people,
and not sending bad bills to the Governor for
him to Veto Altogether there is cheerful out
look Tor the immediate future of the party in
this State. New-York is Republican, and
above all loyal State, ana she VIII probably
emphasize that fact at the fiext election.

rebellion may make dangerous Roadway. Inc
Government appears thus far to have made the
mistake of Understanding the extent OF the
outbreak, and in particular the danger OF
Indian complications; and the statements OF
the Canadian papers as to the military resources
of some of the Northwest tribes Indicate that
the militia and volunteers are likely to nave
serious work before them.
For example, the Bloods, the most powerful
and turbulent branch Of the Blackfeet nation
are said to be we'll armed with Winchester rifles
and revOlvers, and to have large supplies OF
ammunition. The famous chief Crowfoot is
nominally the head of the whole Blackfeet
nation, and the Government is said to nave nad
recent assurances of his loyalty. But ne is
growing old, and his younger brother-in-iaw,
Yellow Horn, is believed by many to have to-
day the greater influence with the nation, ana
especially with the young men, who are eager
for scalps and CATTLE The Crees are one OF
the most numerous tribes in the vicinity OF the
rebellous region, and hitherto they have been
peaceable, even making it boast that they
have never killed a white man. OF late, how
ever, certain instances of bad faith on the part
of agents or the Government have made them
discontinued, anu lHclT inOsO niH"oh'i"' N"io''
Poundmaker, who is a strong friend OF Crow
foot is said to be dangerous man. The Chip
pewas, Crees, Backfeet and Sioux, in fact, are
none of them trustworthy, and as some have
already risen there is danger that general
outbreak in the Northwest may occur before the
really weak detachmeEts on the way can
arrive.
In this event it is plain that the Government
will have to recrganize its plan of operations,
and that far stronger force will have to be
gathered before it will be safe to risk battle.
Rels immediate following has now become
matter of secondary Importance, though 1t may
be none the less difficult to deal WITH In view
of the difficulties of transportation, the
strength of the Indian forces, the danger that
American Indians may Join them, and-the Lack
of any thoroughly trained and hardened
colonial troops, the Dominion Government will
probably find the suppression of this rebellion
both slow and costly. IL it should prove that
the trouble is primarily due to the neglect OF
the Government to proht by the experience OF
the Red River instruction, the effect upon
Dominion politics is likely to be revolutionary.

THE BAsERALL SEASON.

The opening Of the preliminary baseball season
yesterday calls attention to the fact that this sport
not only holds its own in the public estimation but
is developing into greater proportions every year.
In fact it has practically become the regular calling
of great multitude of people. aud it causes millions
Of dollars to change hands each season. The
claim therefore, tina. it the National game of the
United States Is founded on substantial facts.
The present season is of great promise.
Recent changes in the rules will have the tendency
to restrict the pitcher and consequently much
heavier batting may be looked for than has been
possible in recent years. Ills will serve to make
the game nterestingto the ordinary spec tator
who appreciates batting although he may know
little OF the technicalities of the From now
until tie opening of the championship season on
the first of May. a series.of exhibition games will
be played which will get the clubs in good trim for
the fray and stimulate the public interest The
League club of this city has been much
strengthened this season, and may be expected TO
improve upon its record Of fourth place last season.
1t may also possibly make good the predictions Of
its many friends by carrying away the Champion
ship.

Rid NEWs FROM THE NORTHWEST.

The half-breed rebellion III the Northwest has
assumed more serious aspect from the rising
of several of the Indian tribes The seizure
and burning of Battleford, added to the
previous successful skirmishes with the
moCnted police, must greatly encourage the
rebels, and since several days will elapse before
the most advanced reinforcements can reach
the scene of action, the instruction will have
time to spread, and may include large pro-
portion of the $4,000 Indians now in Manitoba
and the Northwest Territories. The troops on
the wa- have long distance to go by sledge
when they reach the furthest point to which
they can proceed by the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way and on the line of the railway there is a
distance of seventy-three miles of unfinished
track, part of which can probably be crossed on
construction trains, but the rest will have to be
trayersed on foot or IN sledges. 1t does not
seem to be known whether the railway bridge
across the Nepigon River is so far completed
that the troops can cross upon 1t, and If it is
not further delay will occur there. 1t is
estimated that no reinforcements can reach the
ground for six days. and in that time the

A GREAT RAILROAD.

The leasing of the Central Pacific Railway,
with all its branches, to the Southern Pacific
Company, if completed according 30 the present
understanding, will form one of the most pow
erful corporations in the world. The Central
Pacific controls every approach to San Fran
cisco, and substantially all the railroads of
California. The Southern Pacific controls the
line from California by way of Ell Paso to
Galveston and to New-Orleans, and, in connec-
ton with the new line recently constructed
from New-0rleans to Louisville and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, complete route to Norfolk
on the Atlantic coast. In addition 1t controls
the steamship line between New-Orleans and
New York. For the first time in the history
of the country, an entire line from San Fran
cisco to an Atlantic port will be under one
management, and practically under the owner
ship of one body of men. The effect OF this
combination upon the interests of some other
corporations may in the end prove very inn
poItant.
The Union Pacific has never been able 10
reach the Pacific coast, connection beyond
Ogden having been made at the outset over the
Central Pacific lines. Its Oregon short-line
will give il means of communication with Port
land in competition with the Northern Pacific.
but no communication with California. The
Burlington and Quincy, and Denver and Rio
Grande, the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe,
and the Atlantic and Pacific, all depend upon
the Southern Pacific and Central Pacific for
connection with San Francisco and access to a
Pacific port. The Texas and Pacific, and the
entire Gould system of railways. are in like
manner dependent upon the Southern Pacific
for Western outlet. Several of these roads
already reach or will soon reach outlets in
Mexico, but within this country all of them
depend upon the lines controlled by the new
combination.

If there Is one nuisance worse than another
connected with NewYOrk theatres, 1t Is the
going out between the acts which so many
men indulge in. The moment the curtain
drops and before the applause has fairly begun
up jump these thirsty topers and crowd roughly
past the ladies and gentlemen who are not so
addicted to drink as to be unable to do with
out it for two or three hours. This happens In
every theatre in this city every night even now'
although in some cases the nearest liquor shop
is block away Gt is never further Off. What
the evil would be if Mr.. divers bill authorlz-
ing the sale of liquor in every play house
should become law it would be an easy
though not pleasant task to imagine. The
measure sbould be killed. One need not be a
rabid temperance advocate to see that.
