knew, was composed almost entirely
Of Democrats and they should have

many of its pledges has it redeemed?
The "Knownotflngs" all went into
the camp of the new party. The
Prohibitionists all arrayed themselves
under its banner. The political apos
tie Of the new party, Horace Greeley,
in the New York Tribune, advocated
reforms so thick, so many, SO diver
gent, that the reform of to-day became
the abuse of tomorrow. Bloomer
skirts, Graham bread, vegetable diet,
all sorts of fads, dreams. impractical
bilities and impossibilities were part
of the programme as outlined by Mr..
Greeley. These outgivings drew to
the new party thousands and tens
of thousands of voters. The war
came and all side-issues were
lost in it. Peace was restored,
but the era of reconstruction followed,
and there was little time to evolve
new political heresies or revive the
old ones. But now we are in piping
times OF peace. Reconstruction is ac-
complished. For years the dearest
thing to the Republican heart has
been the CORY garment, memory
OF the past. 1t does not fill mems
minds as living, present issue. In
the absence of such rallying point
the party is segregating again into its
original elements. Woman suffrage
e-water beverages, "Knownoth
ingisms," Mary Walker costumes
brown bread and vegetarian regimes
in dietetic matters will force them
selves to the front. In the disinte
grafton we are glad to welcome the
Chronicle into the Democratic fold
1t is possible that prohibition may be
a. plank in the Republican platform
next fall. With that tenet to warm
the people up, and the Chronicles ole
and inspiring friend, old John Sher
man as the candidate, we do moi
wonder at the uneasy condition of oul
neighbor's mind.

Don M. DICKINSON approves him
self to be q sound lawyer and an able
as we'll as conscientious public servant
in his views OH the duties of the
Atchison system of railroads to con-
vey the mails. He shows that the
striking engineers and firemen were
prepared to comply with their agree
ments to patriotically perform their
duties to the public in taking out
mail trains, in spite OF the fact that
they were out on strike. The railroad
managers held that they were not
bound either by law or the obligations
of a patriotic regard for the public
welfare to send out mails unless the
engineers took with the mail
car the regular passenger busi-
ness. The Postmaster General takes
occasion to point out the general
obligations resting on railroads as
public carriers. 1t is usually con-
tended by the managers of railroads
that they are like other private cor
porations, and they make the plea
that they should be allowed to man
age their affairs in such way as they
see fit. Mr.. Dickinson takes the
right ground, that these roads are
the creatures of the people; that GER
tain very important privileges are
conceded on the understanding that
duties are to berendered in return for
these grants. The new member of
the Cabinet is back on old Democratic
grounds when he maintains that the
people and the Government have q
perfect right to insist that public car
riers shall observe their pledges to|
rander these services il lieu Of Me

How refreshing to find : cabinet

of question as Mr.. Villas develops, in
his opinion as published in the HER
AID of yesterday! The facts are that
b poor man went to section remote
from roads and settlements, where he
entered &claim to portion OF the
public domain. For three years be
spent part of each on the premises ;
the remaining months Of each year
he spent away working as common
laborer, saving his wages and apply
ing these savings to the building of a
house and otherwise improving
his land. When he was ready
to "prove up" some one raised
the question that he had not lived on
the land continuously for three years,
and on this contest the case was ap-
pealed to the Secretary of the Interior.
Mr.. Villas reviews the case carefully
and completely and concludes by say
ing that poor man who has toiled SC
hard to secure home, who has SC
faithfully tried to improve the
claim, and who is by his
diligence and providence now
prepared to settle on his farm.
