Mr.. Manning's letter of resignation
was just the thing that any high-minded
official would do in the circumstances.
An officer even temporarily disabled,
should free the hands Of his chief to
make any arrangements necessary, so
that the department might not suffer.
The presidents letter in reply, is also an
eminently proper one. A few there are,
who seem inclined to take the CORE
spondence as implying a virtual termi-
nation of Mr.. Manning's connection
with the treasury. Their reason for
their belief is that Mr. Manning will
never be the same man again and will
never be able to resume control of the
treasury department. This view they
persist in holding. Notwithstanding Mr..
Manning's very rapid and continuous
improvement, and in the face of the
doctors expressed opinion that Mr..
Manning could resume work without

There are those who shudder at the
thought of the coming political fight in
this county, and those who believe it
will be the hardest ever fought. As for
us, while we are inclined to believe that
the unusual silence and hesitation on
the part Of both parties has somewhat
ominous meaning, vet we have no grave
doubts as to the final outcome. In the
first place, we earnestly trust and conf
IDENTITY believe that the democratic con-
yention will see to it that the very best
men of the party are selected to fill the
positions If they do this, for obvious
reasons, which need not be expressed at
this time, it does not require prophet
or the son Of prophet to 'call the

The most important feature in the
future outlook for wheat is the English
demand. Without a good buying de-
mand from that country, it will be very
difficult to sustain any important advance
inthe face ofthe excellent crop prospects
IN nearly all wheat growing countries.
Any important advance can not benefit
the milling trade, put viii rather do it
injury. If we must grind another year on
q big crop and low prices, let us begin
the season with prices at the lowest
notch and grind up Hill, rather than do

In spite of all Commissioner Daniels can do

The Territory To Be Opened to Railroads.

The Territory To Be Opened to Railroads.
The extension of railroad systems through the
Southwest has been embarrassed in no slight de-
grse by the existence of the vast tract known as
She Indian Territory. through which the lines
have been unable to pass without special author
szasion by Congress. South and west of the In
dian Territory is the imperial domain of Texas,
rapidly growing In population and wealth.
North OF 1t is Kansas, and on the east are Mis-
Souri and Arkansas. Several railroads have
been built as connecting lines between impor-
SAINT commercial points to the line of the Indian
Territory, or near it, and there stopped until
law authorizing their extension can be enacted.
During this session of Congress ten bills have
been referred to the committee on
andian affairs of the House. all
FOR the purpose of giving companies
right of way, with certain privileges through
me Indian Territory. The Boston Advertiser
says: perhaps not one of them will succeed;
but it is not improbable that general act, de-
signed by Congressman Charles III. Allen, of
Massachusetts. and reported by him from the
committee on Indian affairs on the 29th of
March, may be passed. This would relieve Con-
gress of the onerous duty of considering special
acts, and give all the companies which are seek
ing route in good faith prompt affirmative
response to their desire. Obviously, while the
obtaining OF right of way is a matter of spe-
clAl favor or good luck, such rights have large
speculative value. A general law, which gives
Ehe right TO any company upon compliance with
Certaln definite and reasonable conditions. de-
6troys this speculative value and this is an inn
portant consideration in favor Of such law"

GEN. LEW WALLACE AT HOME.

How He Does His Literary Work-Engaged
on Two New Stories Success of His Books.
j. "A, in Chicago News.
For literary man General Wallace is ideally
situated. His modest, wo-story frame cottage &C.
cupies part Of large tract of land on the edge Of
the town, known as the Elston homestead. SEN
ator Henry s. Lanes second wife was an Elston
a sister of Mrs. Lew Wallace, and the Senator's
widow still lives in the old homestead. Beyond
her house are the homes of one Of her brothers
and another widowed sister, and then comes
General Wallace's house. 1t stands at some dis
lance from the street, surrounded by lawn
shaded with native forest trees, which were
vocal with the songs of birds as / approached it.
He is delighted with his home which he has oc-
cupied for many years, and would not think of
exchanging it for any other. His retirement is
perfect There is nothing to disturb him. With
the birds, and flowers, and sunshine all round him
he is complete master of his time. and has the
inspiration of nature new and fresh with every
morning.
II would not live anywhere else" he said, his
eyes kindiing. II have all the advantages here
that could have anywhere When wish to GO
away | can jump on train, and in q few hours
reach any point desire TO go to"
The library of Wabash College, with its twenty
odd thousand volumes is not five minutes walk
distant, and what reference books he cannot find
there he hunts up where they are to be found.
For the work he is now engaged on he ransacked
the book stores of London purchasing at good
round price several ancient volumes which are
indispensable to him, for he is never satisfied
until his investigations reach back to the orig
inal sources Of information.
While General Wallace does not call himself a
professional writer, ne is really pursuing litera-
ture as profession, in the sense that he gives
his entire time to it and works habitually and
systematically. He believes, with the late DIR,
Holland, that daylight lie the best time for liter
airy. as II is for any other kind OF work. His
custom Is to work at his desk in the forepart Of
the day, and about the middle of the afternoon
