The alphabetical editor OF the Repu6-
Iio0R il disposed to poke fun at the pro-
hIbitionists. This is consistent conduct
with the few self.constituted leaders of
the Republican party. HaYing imposed
prohibition upon the state as q matter
OF policy, they now burlesque the con-
verts they have made. II prohibition
was Q good thing two or three years ago,
why Is 1t the Republican can see no good
In those who are its jealous advocates
to-day. The NEWS Is not champion
OF the principle OF prohibition like the
RspU6IieGR, but It Is disposed to treat
fairly and honorAbly those who are SIN
cere in It's advocacy. It shows
the hollow hypocrisy, narrow
mindedness and insincerity Of
these alleged champions Of the moral
element OF the Republican party, when
they can turn and rend their own dis
ciples. But for the class Of newspapers
such - the Republican proves itself to
be, there would be no third party, aud
no necessity for Il.

dispatches from Janslequah, Cherokee

the Cherokees has adjourned IN the

Bushyhead claimed the selection of
those men as his right. Heretofore the

pREsIDENT OLEVELAND AND


Some very interesting correspondence
has recently been published between
President Cleveland and General Ross,
past senior vice commander-in-chIef Of
the g. A. R., relating to the case Of Csp-
tain b. s. Baker, dropped from the rolls
Of the Baltimore custom house without
charges, and whose character and EN-
cheney were beyond question" General
Ross calls the attention Of the president
briefly to the statutes in such matters,
claiming violstion In this case.
Upon receipt Of the letter, according
to the Ipresident's reply. he caused 9
special inquiry 70 be made into the facts
OF this particular case, and he furnishes
General Roas with quotations from the
report Of special inquiry made into
the Affairs Of the Baltimore custom
house. by which 1t appears that q con.
siderable reduction could be made In the
number Of the inspectors without detri-
ment 70 the service. The reduction wa
ordered. In the selection of those to b
dropped special agent of the treasury
was appoined to recommend q list, IN
DER instructions to select the least use
ful and efficient. After q careful Anc
minute examination, which was approx
ed by the collector himself, I
man whom the president say
he is informed "Is not In ACCORD
with the present administration" tn
list was made and the dispositions or
dered. Among the names thus selectet
appeared that Of Captain Baker. Tn
report says, that "his personal habit
were such as TO interfere with the prope
discharge of his duties" The specia
agent informs the president: 81 wa
careful that none but inefficient officer
should be disturbed, and am satisfies
that no mistake has been made in tn
case of Captain Baker. During the ez
animation I could learn nothing tbs
would warrant his retention in view c
ascertained facts respecting his ineh
cheney"
In conclusion, the president says:
at is well that associations shout
exist such as you represent, organize
for the purpose of protecting and en-
forcing the right thus guaranteed b
law. The statute is based upon justic
and 9 proper and generous appreciatio
of the services of those who risked thei
lives for the safety of their country i
her time Of need. The letter and spir
Of its provisions should be fairly and /
good faith observed"
He also says: 81 do not suppose 20
claim that this preference should be ca
ried 80 far as to retain those who are VI
worthy or inefficient. The law 20
quote was not expected in its operatio
to impair the public service, but to 81
cure the recognition in public emplo!
ment by preference In selection of sue
of the discharged soldiers ana sailol
mentioned in the statute as could an
would furnish faithful and eficiel
work."

THE FUTURE OF Parties.

The future of political parties In the
United States is very much cloudsd.
The defeat of the Republican party at
the last presidential election was q Teve-
Iation. With everything TO encourage
hope in the direction Of victory, the peo-
pie made change that was altogether
unexpected. That this defeat was large
ly due to divisions among party leaders,
cannot for moment be questioned, still
the attitude Of the party on certain lead
ing public questions was also q factor
which created the reversal Of public
judgment, and must be recognized. II
is extremely doubtful If the party can
ever again be solIdlY united upon any
Of the questions now before the peo-
pie.
The Democratic party is in anything
but healthy state. There are serious
divisions among the leaders, and the
mass of followers are doinga good deal
OF thinking and protesting. All is moi
well with the policy Of Mr.. Cleveland
30 far as his party goes, still he undoubt
ly has the approval of very many OF tbs
best minds of the country in all parties
Indeed, there Is not reputable journa
in the United States to-day which hal
attributed to Mr.. Cleveland selfish Of
improper motive In anything he hai
done or said.
New questions will arise In the nea
future which may again divide the coun
: try into two and possibly tire,
great parties. Certain 1t is that man!
of the policies and cardinal doctrines O
both the great parties are to-day rem
iniscence. In the clashing Of contendinl
interests, and the evolution Of politica
thought, new issues viii be sprung Ofcou
handing interest, and the country VII
! settle down to their consideration In
business like way. It is good thin
: for the republic that sectionalism is
1 thing of the past. That question WI
I never again be raised. The difference
: between parties will come on the busl
ness line, and probably involve q foreig
policy, but our domestic affairs can neYC
] again awaken the acrimoDy and bitter
i ness which has characterized the la

that General Crook has full sway, his
tact and fearless energy will, doubt
not, bring about good results. He has
all the troops he wants and they are
placed in most advantageous

is practicable TO white men are thus
