IHE 'BACh BON E. hi : ID Gk INT.
The tilt between Senators VAN WYcK and
TELLER on the "Backbone'' resolution re
calls one Of the iniquities which marked Re-
publican rule and which with so many others
are fading out of sight. The facts are that
in 1871 grant of land was made to the
New Orleans, Baton Rouge 81 Vicksburg rail-
road on condition that the road be com pleted
in five years. The road was never built, but
nevertheless in 1882, after the grant had lapsed
and ought to have been declared forfeited,
the New Orleans, Baton Rouge s. Vicksburg
company undertook to transfer the land to
the New Orleans Pacific company, whose
lines were located on the opposite side of the
Mississippi river. When consulted about the
matter the attorney general said the transfer
was valid, and upon this opinion President
ARTHUR gave his approval. At that time
Mr.. VAN WICK interfered and by resolution
passed in the senate he withheld further action
till congress could look INFO the matter. But
congress failed to act, and Secretary TELLER.
in order to have the patents issued before
his term of Office expired, rushed the bust
ness through in the suspicious manner de-
scribed by Mr.. VAN WICK.
The senator from Nebraska has the handle
end of this question, and the opportunity of
dealing blow at the pernicious system of
land seizures Is so suspicious that the couu-
try at large is interested in the result. These
land grants have been the scandal Of the in
terror department for a long time. They
have been rushed through under some sort
of iimsy legality, until there is very little of
the public domain now left. The great bulk
Of 1t has gone into the hands of railroad cor
porations, and means like that used in the
Backbone" affair are used to conceal the real
crookedness OF the transaction. Mr.. VAN
WICK has the country at his back, even
though be has to fight body Of corporation
attorneys, and we want 10 see him push his
investigations and keep up the war until all
these corporations are made TO disgorge their
plumber.

THE EnRopEAa wan o1oun.

In discussing the prospect OF war between
England and Russia opinions in London diff
fer as to the feasibility of either power max
ing Afghanistan a field of battle and an idea
is prevalent that the Typographical difficulties
of the country from a military point of view
will prove to be advantageous to the power
which first gets foothold. From the pres
emit outlook it appears that Russia expects to
be on the ground first But looking at it
from an American standpoint the principal
advantage to be gained is an increased de-
maud for American products and conse-
quently an increase in prices. 1t may be q
very selfish view to take of 1t but, 1t can't be
helped. 1t really matters very little to the
farmer up here in Minnesota whether Rus
STA gets foothod in Afghanistan or whether
England does so long as it will bring the
price of wheat up to 81 per bushel. When
the war has reached that Importance and the
two great powers can be induced to hold
on in the struggle for two or three years
and Minnesota wheat all the time ranging
from ST to 50 per bushel then they can have
our consent to make an even division of the
territory of Afghanistan after the war is
over. Wheat at 81 a bushel for three years is
worth more to our people than all of Afghan
istan with England and Russia thrown in.
So let the war proceed, and may it live lon 6
and prosper.

THE COZ. RYOR,S TETO

The governor has found it necessary to
rake full application of the veto power in
order to prune down the work of the last
Legislature to meet his views of the limita-
tons OF the constitution, as well as the imam
cial condition OF the state. As ALL or nearly
all, the extraordinary appropriations made
by the legislature were meritorious, it is a
matter of regret that sufficient reve-
nues had not been provided for be-
yond the ordinary expenses Of the state gov
eminent to meet them. There are some of
the public institutions which will suffer be-
cause of the failure to avail themselves OF the
appropriations the legislature designed TO
make them. The governor had the right to
withhold his approval when he knew that the
condition OF the state treasury would not
justify the payment of these extraordinary
appropriations and ne exercised it, The fail
ure Of the veterans to realize their 81 900 APP
preparation viii be disappointment to the
old soldiers, and they will have public SYM
patty in their loss.
THE governor signed 610 bills and vetoed
twenty-seven. OF these vetoes, three were
communicated to the Legislature, and twenty
three are first made public this morning.
Among the appropriations which persisted
were S72, 900 for new addition for the in
sane asylum at Rochester, so, 900
for new normal school buildings
and $50, 900 for a new reform school,
In the hurry and rush of the last few days It
was found that the legislature had passed
several acts repuguant TO the constitution,
and these were cut out of course. Among
these is the only bill which the governor
dsapproyes which had direct
bearing on st. Paul - the bill
granting swamped lands on the west side to
the city for the purpose Of establishing a
levee. 1t was discovered that these lands
belong equally to the school and charitable
funds and cannot be acquired By the city
except by purchase.
The governor finds in technically an ex-
cuse for vetoing the "valued policy insur-
ance" act, the technically answering
as good a purpose as the real
objection to the bill that it
puts premium on ineendiarism
Among all these vetoes it is pleasant to note
that the bill transferring the land grant of
the Winnipeg & Duluth TO the ST. Paul,
Brainerd &; Northern is lava law which
win operate in opening up millions Of acres
Of good MInnesota territory.
The GLOBE publishes this morning a full
list Of the vetoes, together With the reasons
assigned by his excelieney.

NO WEEPING Nv THE NAVY FOR
WILLIAM

There is not much weeping in the navy
over Mr.. CHANDELIERS departure, judging
from circumstance related in the Baltimore
News illustrating the kind of man he is:
His wife, as is well known, was prominent So
cial figure under the recent administration and
her Wednesdays were quite famous. 1t was
and the ''was" is a happy and promising
phrase the custom for cabinet officers to en-
ploy the messengers in their departments for
home duty as walters and footmen. The thing
does not seem exactly right but ''damned Gus
tom,' of which Hamlet speaks, apparently made
it so. But CHANDLER went still higher. He
regularly invited naval officer to attend
his wifes wednesdays" and stand at her side
during the afternoon and present the callers.
This involved the wearing of full dress uniform
in the day time, which is irksome, and the task
of playing automaton for three or for hours,
which was more irksome still. 1t is hard to think
of anything more purgatorial to some minds,
who do not enjoy society and its conversation,
than penance of this sort. But there was no
man bold enough to decline one of these sin
vitations;'' for once CHANDLER imbibed dislike
to any one in his power it was farewell to further
service in Washington or any other desirable To-
cality. The wretched mutineer was dispatched
to the most unpleasant duty within range of
CHANDLER 5 order illnesses relate that it was
comedy of the most refined and exquisite order
to see some of the officers receive one of Mrs.
CHANDLERs cordial and charmingly- worded in
yitations-the expression of their countenance
whole volume in the study of physiognomy.

HOE TO PROVO uNoE CABINET NAMES


We observe that the newspapers are hav
Ing quite controversy about the proper pro-
nunciatlon of the names of tine new secretary of
state and postmaster general. The former Is
said to be in direct line of descent from the
famous chevalier whose heroism figures SO
brightly in history, song and romance. The
common pronunciation given to his name is,
as it is spelled, B4Y-ARD, but the secretary
himself pronounces it BY-ARD, and, as he
ought to know, that pronunciation must be
accepted as correct. The postmaster general
is known out here in the Northwest by the
name of VY-LAs, although the Eastern
papers insist upon calling him VEE-LAs or
Villas, some of them claiming that the proper
pronuncia is VEE-LAH. The original
family name of the postmaster general is said
to have been VIILIERs, and his genealogical
tree took root in the heraldic records of the
time of HENRY III. VI1LIERs was also the
family name of the DUKE of BUCKINGHAM
who was the favorite of CHARLES l.,
and as ne was not a minister particularly
distinguished for JACKsoNIAN simplicity, the
only respect in which the postmaster general
resembles his famous namesake is in the
striking beauty of his person.

THE venerable SIMON CAMERON has cele-
brated the eighty-sixth anniversary of mis-
birth. and is in reasonably good health. In
au interview with correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer he talked freely and
cheerfully of political events of the present
and to come. Of the cabinet he said the
president had chosen well in selecting
Messrs. BAYARD, LAMAR and GARLAND, as
he knew all and had found them excellent
men. II have no doubt" continued the
general. ''that his other selections are of
such character that confidence can be re-
posed in them and the country will be bene-
flied by their judicious actions" After a
somewhat fiattering compliment to Mr.. NAN
MING. whom he only knew by what he had
read, he concluded the interview by saying:
''This country has its own destiny to work
out, and it will accomplish it, whatever the
political faith of the future.''

1T bad been announced by those who have
made study of crime that the limit had been
reached. But thrilling tragedy in real life,
so far beyond the range of horrible POSSIBLE
ity, gagged by the powers of human concep-
ton, comes in connection with the story of
child murder in Albemarle county, Virginia,
that nothing in the future, however frightful,
should create surprise. The story reported
is that of little girl, FANNY COOPER, s
years old, deliberately committing murder by
killing with malice aforethought her little
cousin, boy OF her own age. The young
murderess killed her victim by beating him
over the head with an old shovel, fracturing
the skull. The strange and horrible part of
the affair is in the fact that
the Juvenile murderess attempted to
and did conceal The commission of
the deed for several days. The boys
body was found in a woodshed, aud it was
supposed at first that he had beer killed by
falling from rafter, but when questioned
about it the girl invented the story that her
cousin had accidentally choked him self by
swallowing bit Of eggshel. She was be-
trayed several days afterward by her six-year-
old sister who had witnessed the murder. If
babies are going to commit murder and at
tempt to conceal it, it is time to give the
matter of murder in this country little at
tention.

THE Enquirer says that systematic effort
is being made to destroy the opium-eating
practice in Cincinnati. 1t has assumed such
formidable proportions that it is found nee
essary to organize against it. The habit pre-
walls most extensively among the ladies,
who are slaves to the drug and whose prin-
cipal object in life seems o'be to hide the
abominable practice from husbands and
parents. The plan now being discussed is
to obtain an accurate list of the opium eaters
and smokers and to apprise the relatives of
each victim, in order that systematic effort
may be made to bring about cure, the vic
tins themselves not having the moral cour-
age to place themselves under treatment. 1t
is claimed the lists can be obtained fir om drug
gists and others VINO are posted. Those in
terested in the scheme announce their deter
mination to carry it out in spite of the fact
that the lists will certainly he published.

DR.. WALSH. who is to succeed to the arch
bishopric of Dublin made vacant by the
death of Cardinal MCCABE, is the learned
and amiable president Of Maynooth college
and is man of more than national reputa-
ton. He is vigorous writer, fearless
thinker, profound theologian and labor
ious worker. His political sentiments will
be agreeable to the great body of Irish Cath
olics, as he approves of all methods of OBJ
tanning political rights which are not contrary
to the laws of the Christian religion and of
civilized humanity. The probability is that

receives the further honor which was be-
