One of the most daring and bloody
express robberies ever perpetrated III
Illinois occurred on the Chicago, Rock
Island Il Pacific west bound express be-
tween Morris and joliet, on the 13 inst
in which the brave express messenger,
X. s. Nichols, was murdered after a
terrible struggle, and the safe, which
contained $50, 900 in currency besides
iewelry TO the amount of s., SOC, was
rifled of its contents. Nothing was
known of the occurrence until the train
stopped at Morris which is the fist
station west of Joliet, when the local
express messenger entered the car and
discovered the horrible evidence of the
desperate struggle and the dead body
Of Messenger Nichols In one hand
that was clutched, the dead hero held a
handful of dark-colored hair that be
must have torn from the assailants.
Mr.. Nichols was brave and trusted
employe Of the company He was 40
years old and had spent 20 years with
the company, being one of the oldest
employees running on any road out OF
Chicago. He was married but had nc
children. The railroad company has
offered reward Of $4,000 for the cap
ture of the murderers.

The Grant monument fund associa-
ton have confessed its failure and dis
solved; the Hendricks monument move
ment has peterd ont; the Hancock mon
ument agitation seems TO have but a
poor chance of accomplishing anything,
and the Longfellow memorial associ-
alton still needs thirty eight thousand
of the fifty thousand dollars thatit hopes
to raise. The trouble with America is
that she has too many great men. Were
they rarer it would be found easier TO
honor them rightly.

The prevailing tone of comment on
the Gould railroad strikes is something
that the Knights of Labor would do
well to heed and consider with care.
In the great strikes of last year on this
same Gould system OF southwestern
roads. public opinion clearly sustained
the men, and they were victorious. The
men We're clearly right, the moral
strength of public opinion sustained
them and they were irresistible. This
time it is not clear that they are right
Power wrongly exercised becomes
tyranny; and it is just as possible for
ong-headed grand masters of labor
organizations to show tyrannical disre-
gard for public right as il is for railroad
managers to do the same thing. 1t in
fiicts terrible blow upon the business
interests OF the southwest to suspend
traffic on the Texas and Missouri roads.
The unoliending public has rights and
interests at stake which are tenfold
more important than the Goulds and
Hoxies on the one hand and the Knights
of Labor on the other.

KENTUCKY has just furnished preg
nant illustration of the innate inequity
of legalizing the hiring out TO contract
ors and mining operators Of the con-
yict labor of state. Under the law OF
1880, passed by the Kentucky Legislature,
convicts were allowed to be worked on
railroads, canals, and leyees. This ex-
cited the antagonism of free labor; bit
in 1884 the old law was amended SO as to
place conyicts in direct competition
with free labor in the coal mines. The
actualization of this amendment has
brought about the current troubles in
Pulaski county, where the coal miners
rose up in arms against gang OF con-
victs employed to take the bread out Of
their mouths in the miners own field OF
work. This uprising has compelled the
state to call out the militia, at great
expense, to protect thg cGnyicts from
the miners. That the miners have
right in the matter must be conceded
The state under the law is depriying free
labor in the mining regions nf its right
to earn bread by bringing in criminal
competition In Alabama, Georgia and
Tennessee miners have been driven
away by the substitution of convict la
Dor in the mines, and consequently the
rights of free labor in those states and
in Kentucky are becoming leopard
lied as if negro slavery We're again in
troduced in competition. 1t is needless
to say that public sentiment in Kentucky
is aroused against the law to a very
great extent only the Legislature seems
regardless of the injustice of the exist
ing laws. The convict labor must be
employed; but there are modes of uta-
lizing it which will not encroach upon
the recognized rights of free labor. The
Kentucky system is manifestly an ex-
pensive one. LII the state troops have
to stand guard over convict labor at an
expense of several thousand dollars per
week, the law will prove tremedous
burden on the taxpayers. 1t may be a
handy way of keeping the militia in
good order for field duty, but there are
other and more important points to be
taken into consideration.

THE Democratic national platform is
very convenient political factor. 1t
contains a clause that resident citizens
should be appointed to offices in the
territories and in the District of Colum-
bia, as, also, does the platform Of the
republican party. President Cleveland
has on numerons occasions ignored the
instructions Of his party by appointing
to territorial offices non-residsnts whose
only claim was that Of political services
rendered. He hss even gcac 50 far as
to insult the citizens of the territories
by affirming that he could find no resi-
dents worthy of the trusts thus con-
ferred His party has sunequiyocally en-
dorsea the position and the insult. But
when colored man is appointed to Of
fee. also for political services rendered,

ers that it has platform and that its
instructions must be followed! Such
inconsistency in the democratic party,
while it cannot occasion surprise, is
none the less to be condemned. The
coiored voters will find it interesting to
go back to campaign dates and read the
democratic editorials on the affiliation
of democracy and the colored race. MIR.

THE president has gone very unneces-
Sarily out of his way in antagonizing the
people of Iowa by yetoing Tie bill to
quiet the titles OF settlers of the Des
Moines river lands 1t was not case
which called for executive interference.
The bill ieopardized no public interests
nor sacrificed no private rights. The
matter is one of long standing, and has
been thoroughly considered In both
houses of congress. The entire Iowa
delegation which includes several dem
ocrats, heartily supported the bill, and
it passed both houses by large MAORI
ties. 1t happens, however, that Attorn
ey General Garland when in the senate
was unfayorable to the proposition, and
it Is supposed that he furnished the argn-
ment which the president used in his
message. He makes no objection on
the score of equity or on any other vital
ground, but merely urges that the set
tiers ought to be able TO secure their
rights by resort to the courts of law. 1t
is said that the Iowa members will make
an effort to secure the requisite two
thirds majority in both houses and pass
the.b bill over the presidents veto; but
this will not be an altogether easy thing
to do The issue is between settlers
who received their lands in good faith
from the government, and the Des
Moines river navigation company,
which it seems, opposed an old unearn-
ed land grant claim. The president has
done an annoying and exasperatlng
thing in preventing congress from rec
tifying the title of the settlers

StantOn's Defense.

The son Of Secretary Stanton is in Wash
ington gathering information for the pur-
pose Of refuting the accusations against the
war secretary contained in the memoirs Of
General Mcclellan. He says that he has
overwhelming evidence against McC Clellan's
Statements in the private papers of the sec
retary, but for some mysterious reason they
are not to be produced, and the son will
rely solely upon the letter to the Rev. Mr..
Dyer. This he considers more satisfac-
tory and complete defense against the stric-
lures of Gen. Mcclellan than ANYTHING
within the range of his knowledge. As that
range may be supposed to embrace all the
correspondence above referred to, and as the
Dyer letter has already been declared in-
sufficient, it is to be feared that Mr. Stan
toms case is hopeless.
The letter referred to has been widely
published and met with considerable ad-
verne criticism. An article by Mr.. Charles
+. BENJAMIN appeared in the Journal of the
Mititary Serrice Institution, which was a
careful and elaborate defense of Stanton
based on this letter. That article received
extended notice in the columns of this
paper, and it was shown that even the
warmest friends of the secretary admitted
the existence of those defects in his charac
ter which are shown by McClellan's story
Of his dealings with him.
MT. benjamin admitted that the lettel
showed the marrow intenseness of tn,
writer" his mental weakness, !" marrow
ness, bigotry, tyranny, rashness, impatienc
and lsyishness. With these he couple
good qualities and tried to show that tn
latter prevailed, but most signally failed i
the attempt.

letter is q phantom of Stanton's brain, th

1t has been discovered that the bill provid.
ing for the performance OF the duties Of
president in case of the death Of president
aud vice president was so worded as to alter
the order of cabinet precedence that has al
ways held. The rank OF the secretary OF the
navy has always been next below the secre-
tsry of war and above the postmaster gen
ersl. In naming the cabinet members in the
ord er of possible succession to the presidency
the attorney general and postmaster general
are both named before the secretary OF the
navy, who is therefore reduced two grades
Senator Edmunds says it is all a mistake,
but Senator Hosr explains that 1t was done
because the judiciary committee wanted to
put the attorney general in his rightful place
in the cabinet As a matter Of fact it does not
much matter what is the order Of the success
sion, but the abilities Of an attorney general
or postmaster general are more likely TO be
Of the kind needed in the White House.
Whether by accident or design, this incident
is not calculated to impress ono with conf
dence in the care Of our senators and repre-
sentstives, for this bilwss under consideration
by both Houses for a long time before ii va:
passed, and yet the discovery appears to have

A WRITER who affects the style Of the old
pamphleteers and signs himself " Publicola,"
has been writing 10 the New York Tunes on
various congressional matters. His most re-
cent article is iorcible attack on the secret
sessions Of the Senate. He admits that few
senators honestly believe that secret sessions
are useful, bat quotes from speeches of Sens-
tors Logan and Plstt, Rspu blicans, and Glib
son and Butler, Democrats, to show that
there ls a strong sentiment opposed to So
cresy Senator Gibson, OF Louisiana said
very forcibly that there WAS no reason why
the publicity that was found 50 useful in SO
lecting the men for Office by election should
not work as well when the selection, was
made by appointment Recommendations
now given carelessly by senators and
men in public life would only bs given after
careful investigation, or as the result OF thor.
ough knowledge, II the gentleman giving
them knew that they would be subject to
public scrutiny. Publicity would relieve the
Senate from the personal attacks made under
cover OF secresy for malicious purposes, and
OF the duty that now falls upon senator's of
investigating these personal accusations.
Senator Gibson says it is the most humilia-
ting and disgusting work ever committed to
gentlemen. He calls publicity process OF
publication.
