THE loss thus far growing out of labor
disturbances is simply enormous, and
the situation for the last month or SO
has been growing worse with each day.
If this condition continues throughout
the year, the loss and consequent in
dividual suffering will be beyond cal
culation. Let better councils prevail.

PREMIER Gladstone has been heart
from again and he is now discouraged
ut the ardent objections offered to hi,
Home Rule scheme. He addressed his
friends at a recent meeting in the fol

To which Dana replied :

1T is Il pleasure to note one particular
feature connected with the state Offices
and that is that the Republicans through
out Minnesota are unanimous for Capt
w. w. Braden's denomination for State
Auditor. Mr., Braden is one of the
purest men we have, and has made an
official whose competency no man dare
question, and whose integrity is above
reproach. His name has at various
times been mentioned i'm connection
with the Governorship, but all advances
made to him by his friends i'm this con.
nection have been met with courteous
but emphatic No. While there is not q
man in the state who would bring to
the Office of Governor greater abun-
dance of those qualities necessary in the
nature of things to make an able and
eminently successful and acceptable
executive, it seems that Mr.. Braden
would prefer to retain his present posi-
ton for the time being, and the people
will doubtless see to it that his feelings
are respected. The Office of State Audi
tor has never had more thoroughly
competent or obliging official than the
present incumbent, as his popularity
will bear testimony, and as his nomina-
ton by reclamation in the next conven-
ton will prove.

FIrZyOHS PORTER.

We are Of the opinion that it would
be wise as well rs a gracious act to
give Fitz John Porter the benefit of a
doubt, and acquit him of his disabili-
ties and his disgrace. There are many
good men aud true who believe him
guilty of no crime more heinous than
that of contempt for his then COM
manding officer, Pope, and too par.
tial admiration for his predecessor,
Mcclellan. Whatever be the truth,
pretty much every offender during
the war has been forgiven, JEFF Davis
standing in gloomy desolation as the
one unpardoned and objectionable
trIitor-in.chief of the period. So long
as upon "A later. more searching, aud
perhaps less prejudiced review, Gen.
Grant changed his opinion of Porter's
guilt, and conceded that he had done
him II great injustice, 1t il easy to ac-
quiesce with this view, aud err, If
erriDg at all, with Cesar, and upon
the side of good-ielowship and an all
embracing generosity. II Porter was
in fact the reasonable wretch he has
been painted, he has suffered as few
men have suffered before, and the
stigma that has been attached to him
has been Of a more humiliating and
disgraceful character than that at
tached To the arbitrator of the
rebellion himself. This is an era of
good will, aud just now it is the Yule-
tide season, when everybody is gener-
ously inclined, and disposed to make
all mankind as happy as possible.
We trust that even Logan will soften
ss to his asperities and let Fitz John
Porter go. No man can recall this
poor denuded suppliant pleading ut the
door Of Congress 50 long, without feel
ing that there should be an end of his
probation. We conclude, therefore.
as we began-let Fitz John Porter
have the benefit of a doubt, and let
the Republican party take the credit
of the concession.

THE RANGE INDUSTRY.

There is no single industry on the
American continent so vast In its pro-
portions and so far-reaching in its
benefits as the cattle industry of the
arid regions, and no business Is so lit
tie understood or appreciated outside
the country where it is carried on.
On account of this widespread ignor-
ance, the business, as well as the men
engaged in it, are subjects for not only
great Misrepresentation, but for down.
right abuse. The Importance of the
industry demands that its peculiar
surroundings aud conditions be under
stood to disarm unjust criticism. and,
If not to secure just legislation in its
interest, I, a. leas prevent hostile aud
injurious legislative action. This sub
ject should be carefully considered by
the coming convention, and move
ment inaugurated to secure the APP
pointment b. Congress Of joint COM
mittee to fully investigate the indus
try, so that on the floors Of the Senate
and House there may be men inform
ed and prepared to pl ace the livesto
industry of the plains in its.true light
before the law-making power of the
country. The average senator or rep
tentative knows nothing of the cattle
business except as conducted on small
farms and within enclosures, and has
never grasped the idea that cattle
raising on the plains has no semblance
OF similarity, nor have they even re-
mote conception Of the magnitude Of
the interests involved. The plains
cattle men do not shrink from, but
rather court a full investigation of
their business and all its methods, be-
lieving that in full understanding
and knowledge of the conditions aud
surroundings Of their business lies the
promise of Justice TO them. and they
ask nothing more. Joint committees
are appointed at every session to in
vestigate questions utterly insignif-
cant in their Importance, compare
lively, and the convention could not
perform duty more beneficial in its
results than to take such action as
would secure the appointment of such
a committee.-Colorado Live Stock
