The Grand Isle bridge bill has pass
ed the legislature and been approved by
the Governor. This appropriates $780,
600 of the funds of the state to aid in
building a bridge to connect two islands
in Lake Champlain. This is good for
the islands but rough on the state. 1t
seems that this bill was voted down
once, then the vote was rescinded and
the bill passed the House by one ma
jority. 1t went through the Senate
and into the Governors hands. After
this am attempt was made to rescind
again, but just too late, as the Govern
or had affixed his signature. 1t is said
that members voted for the bill merely
for the fun of it. Our impression is
that a majority Of the members Of the
present legislature are at Montpelier
Just for the fun Of voting away the mo-
ney of the people. So far as this par
ticular bridge is concerned it may be a
good thing for interested parties. but

pulous men. There are men enough
thoroughly qualified and with clean re-
cords to fiji all the offices within the
gift of the administration. If not, go
outside the ranks of the party. A clean
democrat is better than a dirty republic
can. There is a grand opportunity TO
make the most of the civil service. If
the party wishes to commend itself TO
the people of the country without dis
tinction of party let it give full force TO
what is understood by civil service prin-
ciples. There are few if any obstacles
in the way of doing this. President
Harrison made no promises before his
election. He owes no political debts.
1t is not easy to say that he is under
special obligations to any man or set of
men when so many worked so hard TO
secure, first of all, the triumph of the
party, and incidentally, his triumph as
the chosen standard bearer of the par
ty. Mr.. Harrison, it seems to us, has
the greatest freedom in the choice of
a cabinet. He can select those, who,
in his Judgment, viii serve the country
best. And the same policy can be car
ried down through all grades OF offices.
Without casting any reflections upon
the former policy of the party, we say
that now is good time to clean out
all disreputabe oflice-holders, all mere
place-seekers, and give us a service at
home and abroad that shall be an hon
or to the country.
The party has some pledges to fulfill.
Its continuance in power depends upon

1t must do justice TO the Indian. The
people expect of it that affairs shall be

bridges are needed in all parts of the

PEELED to build and maintain bridges at
great expense for the benefit of neigh

would offer a plausible pretext for ask

Newspapers are commenting a good
deal upon the buying and selling OF
votes in the recent election. Whether
or not this was practiced more than in
former times does not clearly appear.
1t is clear that in recent years it has
been practiced altogether too much for
the purity of the ballot. How to stop
the business is a question of some inn
portance. The difficulty lies in making
good proof against parties who are in
volved in the transaction. But in clear
cases fines might be imposed or parties
disfranchised. Too many of the citi-
zens of this republic possess civil rights
which they do not know how to use, in
of which we can foresee
dangers that grow out of political cor
ruption.

There is some talk about Vermont
being represented in the Cabinet. 1t
has been some time since Vermont was
honored in this way. Hon Jacob Col
lamer, we believe, was the last member
and he was postmaster-general. But
who can Vermont present? We can
not heartily approve of any whose
names have been mentioned. We are
of the opinion that Mr.. Harrison can
select his own advisers as wisely and as
well as any one can select them for him.

Drowned From His Yacht.

BALTIMore, June ST. Harrison Garrett,
a brother of Robert Garrett and manager of
the banking firm of Robert Garrett & Sons of
this city, was drowned last night in the
Patapsco river. His yacht, the Clean, in
which he and q party of friends were com.
ing to Baltimore from Annapolis, was run
down off Seven Foot Knob by the steamer
Joppa and sunk, being struck amidships and
almost cut in two. According to accounts
all hands on the Clean were rescued except
Mr.. Garrett, who was seen by a passenger
on the Joppa to fall overheard. Mrs. Gar
rett is completely Frustrated. 1t is said that
Mr.. Garrett was cllnging to the anchor chain
when the shock occurred, and when the
Joppa sheered off one of the Cleans boats
fell into the water carrying Mr.. Garrett with
it. The Joppa remained by the wreck for
three hours searching for the body. Mr..
Garrett was manager of the firm of Robert
Garrett & Sons, which was founded by Rob-
ert Garrett, his grandfather. He married
Miss Witridge and has two sons. Mr.. Gar.
rett was one of the directory of the Balti-
more & Ohio railaoad. His brother, Robert
Garrett, is still in Europe.

THE Deer Lodge correspondent Of the In
dependent, telegraphed on the sth, that
Judge Galbraitb, in . conversation at the
depot, spoke deprecatory of the Democratic
party 10 q gentleman with whom be was con
versing, and a great TODD is made over it be-
cause Judge Galbraith was not beheaded on
the advent of Cleveland. 1t should be res
membered that in those days Cleveland was
sailing under the civil service reform colors,
which he has now cast aside. This accounts
for Judge Galbraith not being removed. He
Is and always has been q Republican, but
abstalned from participation in politics while
on the bench. He is out Of Office now, and
whatever his opinions may be, entitled to
their full expression. he had left for the
east before the expressions attributed to
him were published, but or his return we
have no doubt he will give the matter all
the attention 1t deserves.

TROUBLE IN INDIAN TERRITORY.
A Fight Imminent Between Indian Troops
aud Cowboys.

GU1NsY1LLE, Tex, June 12.-Some time
ago the cattlemen of the C%hickasaw nation
in the Indian Territory resisted a cattle tax
of 81 per head for cattle grazing on Indian
lands and drove the collector and his depu-
ties away with violence. The Governor was
notified and through him the United States
Government. A peaceable settlemen mt was
tried but without a result favorable to Indians.
The cowboys began to assemble and now
about 500 are rcndezvoused in the southern
part of the nation. Gov. Guy has ordered
out the national militia, about 100 Indians,
and they are assembled now at Ardmore,
preparatory to move upon the cowboys.
Captain McLish was put in command of
them, and he has orders to move On them at
once. To-day the camp began to stir, get
ting ready for the campaign and it is expect
ed the troops will be on the march to-mor-
row. They will move cautiously as is feared
they are not strong enough to combat the
cattlemen who are armed with Winchesters.
Many of these men are citizens of the ma
tions and it is feared that this is the first
outbreak of a civil war. Government troops
at Fort Reno are prepared to take the field
in case the Chickasaws cannot quell the dis
turbance.

of the society of the Army of the Potomac
with the survivors of the Army of Northern
Virginia as their guests on the historic field
of Gettysburg, where, twenty-four years, ago
they fought one Of the greatest battles the
world ever seen, finds an ob)ector in the per-
son of Breckenridge, Of Arkansas, who thinks
these "war celebrations an conducive of no
good". The meeting will be held whether
the government pays part of tho expenses or
not, and Breckenridge is probably the only
man in the United States who does not see
in this meeting encouragement of friend
ships between late foes and the exaltation
of patriotism above p%artizanism. he is Of

AcANARD ABouT DEPEw.

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE Globe Demo-
crat publishes the following this morning:
"Depew will not be q candidate" This ex.
ceedingly important declaration is quoted
from 4 private letter just received from New
York. The letter is addressed to . gentle.
man who is one of the delegates at large
from q western state, and who will be q
prominent feature in the convention. It ex-
plains Depew's position As follows: He has
satisfied himself fully by careful inquiry that
he is not the most available man for the
party to nominate. He believes that he
could carry New York; but he believes that
bis record as q railroad president and corpo-
ration lawer might cause some trouble as to
western electoral votes. Having satisfied
himself on this score he counts himself out
of the list. The letter which contains this
very interesting bit of news also brings in
formation that there is no likelihood Of the
New York delegation acting together in sup
port Of any one candidate. Assurances had
been given Depew of nearly the entire vote
of the New York delegation, but all present
indications are against concentration on any
otter man. 1t is believed that Sherman
will get a dozen votes out Of New York,
that Gresham will get fully as many, and
that the remainder will be distributed i'm
partially. Hiscock may get a few compile
mentary votes on the first ballot, but it is
certain tha. he will not get the full vote Of
the state. 1t seems to be pretty generally
understood that Warner Miller will be
agreed upon by the national committee for
temporary chairman of the convention.
NEW YORK, June 11.-Depew, this morn
ing, was shown a St. Louis dispatch stating
that q letter had been received from him to
a friend stating that Depew had Withdrawn
as a candidate. Depew said he had no
friend in New York who would or could
have written such letter, and indeed if such
letter had been written 1t was unwarranted
and untrue.

More Reason for Opposing Cleveland Than Ever.
NEW YORK, June IA large number Of
the members of the Anti Cleveland club of
1884 and other Irish Democrats of promi-
nence met at Clarendon hall tonight and
organized under the name Oft Irish-Amer-
lean Protective league. Micheal Berslin,
treasurer of district assembly 49,, Knights Of
Labor was made Chairman. Mr.. Berslin
said that their was more reason now for OPP
posing Cleveland than ever before. Ali that
he was suspected of being four years ago he
had proved himself to be now He must
therefore be defeated at all hazards. A long
preamble rehearsing the evils of Cleveland's
administration was read and a resolution
adopted as follows:
We, citizens of Irish birth or descent,
denounce the nomination of Grover Cleve-
land as a meanace to the best interests of
the American people, and pledge ourselves
to use every honorable effort to prevent his
election. We pledge to the Republican
party our hearty support in the presidential
contest if the National Convention will
adopt q platform advocating protection to
American industry and labor, and will Sc
lect a candidate who embodies this idea.
A mass meeting will be held at Cooper
union next week, when Judge Brennan of
Iowa will speak.
