SIR CHARLES WARREN has been forced
to resign as Chief of the London Police
because OF the inability of his officers to
discover who is the WhitechapeI murderer.
1t is an English method to force an official
out of place when want of confidence is
expressed but what has the London pub
lie to gain by expelling General Warren
from Office? 1t was admitted that London
has not had a braver man or more level
headed officer over its police force. Cen
eral Warren was gallant soldier; he has
fair detective ability, and, as an executive
officer, is noted for his exactness, push and
general yigor. That the failure of his
subordinates TO apprehend the White
chapel murderer nettles the people, is true
enough; but that another official would
have been more successful, can only be a
matter of speculation. A new hand at the
wheel just now is not likely to proceed so
directly or speedily to success as General
Warren. There are some crimes, the per-
petrators of which are never brought to
bar, and these Whitechapel horrors may
be of that class. At any rate, to the Amer
lean mind, the removal of General Warren
does not appear to be rational or just

and other disorderly classes. They may
blow up some houses and do some murder,
but there will be no such uprising at this
time as will give to the disorder the char
acter of rebellion. The millions of free
men in the United States are not in fear
of a handful of radical Anarchists, nor is
the Republic in any danger of being
speedily overthrown by them.
Nevertheless the Anarchists we have
among us are enemies of society and foes
of the law, and it is the part of wisdom to
be prepared for any assaults their leaders
may move them to for the sake Of the
brief notorie.y and temporary heroics in
which they may wish to indulge them
selves. The Anarchist is a busy sower of
the seed Of error; he begins in the right
place, with the children, to implant the
vicious doctrines of his creed, and the time
may come, by our neglect, when he will be-
come something more than riotous men,
ace TO the American Republic. It will be
the part of wisdom to prevent the growth
of 4 class and the dissemination of doc
trines that are open and avowed enemies
Of a republican form of government.
The country that is so liberal that it en-
eourages by its quiesence the organization
of forces within itself that are avowedly
intended to work its overthrow will de-
serve the fate of the farmer who warmed
the viper into life at his freside.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Jan. 21.-
Judge J. F. Kinney, agent of the
Yankton Sioux Indian agency in
Dakota, arrived here yesterday after
being nine days on the road. Five
days were necessary for the party to
travel thirty miles. The thermometer
during the five days was forty below
zero most of the time. The Judge
says that the loss of life in Dakota has
been greatly underestimated, as the
Dakota papers have tried to cover it
up. He describes the scene which
took place on board the cars. The
coal was running low, the passengers
were crowded into one car, trying to
keep warm. Two babies persisted.
The men discarded all the
outer garments they could spare
and gave them to the ladies and
children. Finding these not enough
they brought the mail sacks from the
postal car and wrapped the children up
in them. At one station in Bonhimme
county, the judge says nineteen frozen
bodies were brought into the depot in
one day. In BOnhomme county the
list of dead will reach fully $50. The
estimates as made at Yankto yesterday
of the loss Of life throughout the terri
tory, figure up over 1000. The counties
where the loss of life was the largest
are Bonhomme, $50; Hutchinson, 40;
Lincoln, ID; Beadle, %; Sphinx, II; Hand
10; Ward, Is. The northern and CEN
trail parts of the territory have not
been heard from fully.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. 21.-In

of Indian Agent Kinney to the effect
that the loss of life in Dakota by the
blizzard will figure up to 1000 Mr..
S. NJ. McLaine editor of the journal
says: "This statement is an evident
absurdity. Future reports are rather
likely to decrease than increase the
list. It is simply impos-
sible that news has been
suppressed, for the Journal reports
have been verified entirely by those of
the morning papers. How man who
confesses to having been showed up
for the past nine days can estimate the
loss of life with more accuracy than
newspapers in constant Geographic
communication with the whole terri
tory, is incomprehensible.

BOURBON WORK.
The Democratic National Convention
to be Held in New York.
The President is in Favor of Such
a Decision.
Senator Voorhees, Thinks it viii be-
He'd in Western City,
No Matter What the Presidents
Preference May Be.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-A Washington
special to the World says: That the
democratic national convention will be
held in New York city is now reasona-
bly, certain. The president is in favor
of such decision. The work that will
be performed by the democratic ma
tional committee, which is to meet in
this city on Washington's birthday,
will be largely of perfume
tory nature, so far as the selec-
ton of a place for holding the
national convention is concerned. The
president is not alone i'll the view of
the necessity for holding the conven-
ton in the metropolis. Most of the
party leaders believe that the best way
of insuring the empire state to the
democratic column is by selecting New
York City as the place to begin the
campaign. On the request of COM
mittee from Cincinnati, SenR-
tor Beck called upon President
Cleveland to ascertain if he
rhad any preference as to which city
the convention should be held in. He
reported that the president insisted
that the convention should go to New
York, and as a consequence Mr.. Beck
said the presidents wishes would un-
doubtedly be respected, and "all our
people" would vote in favor of sending
the national convention to that
city. By "all our people" the senator
alluded to democrats generally. This
expression of MIR. Cleveland's prefer
ence rather put a damper on the Gin
cinnati gentlemen, as they believe that
if Mr.. Cleveland really expressed =
preference for New York the conven-
ton will go there. Senator Voorhees,
told member of the committee from
Cincinnati that no matter what the
presidents preference might be in re-
regard to this matter the convention
would be held in a western city and
the fight for its location would be be-
tween Chicago, st. Louis and Cincin-
natl in the order named.
Other democrats who are in
terested in the convention declare
that the whole matter is settled and that
the national democratic convention of
1883 will be held in New York City and
will be so ordered by the national COM
mittee when it meets next.
