THE SHERIDAN BOOM.
Reported Proposals Reinhate It and Start
II Ont Again.

James &. Young, in Philadelphia Star.
I am told that the men who favor the nomina-
tion os General Sheridan as the Republican
candidate for the presidency about to renew
the boom they started for him some time ago,
and which making the rounds of the country
so satisfactorily when the General gave it
sudden halt by declaring that under no circum-
stances would he be candidate These eentle-
men claim to have intImations that Sheridan
can be prevailed to reconsider his declination.
Ex-senator Conkling, who is thought to be deep
in the scheme to dominate Sheridan, is a man
who does not give up easily when once he starts
in. He hangs on tenaciously, and, like bull
dogs grip. he is hard to shake off,
1t said that Sheridan is considerable worked
up over the Vest-Ingalls- Blackburn debate in
the Senate last week-especially in regard to
Mr.. Vests bettling the Grant campaign from
Petersburg to Appomattox by his assertions that
Lee with mere handful of men, was only beaten
because of the overwhelming numbers Grant
had against him. Sheridan was the conspicuous
figure in that campaign, and it naturally rifles
him to have any one IN authority like Senator
OF the United States. whose statements make
history. attempt 10 dwarf its Importance. He
is thought TO have his politicai dander up, and
hence he is ready to do anything that may be
asked of him by his party friend. Sheridan is
possessed of great sense of gratitude, and it is
said that if he should be nominated by the Re-
publican convention he would feel in duty
bound to accept.
Sheridau's refusal to GLOW mis- friends ID push
him for a nomination does not come from any
dislike he has for politics. any idea that. as
against Cleveland. he would have no show for

worthy fact that of the great majority of
the fighting generals of the war Sherman is the
only conspicuous one who has lived beyond
the age of sixty-thres years, he having just
turned sixtv-seven.
Some eminent physicians in commenting on
this fact have given it as their opinion that the
men who were actually engaged in the field for
four years in such war that OF the rebellion

A POLITICAL SATIRE.

There is considerable talk about
nominating ex-senator THrRMAN, o
Ohio, as the democratic candidate for
vice. president. The proposition Is, i'll
itself, monstrous satire on public
life. ALLEN G.. 1HURMAN il one Of
Americas great mem aud one OF the
most prominent features in conuec-
ton with his public character Is his
unimpeachable integrity. lie is IL
sound lawyer, and has given his coun-
try much valuable service. He re-
tired from politics poor in purse but
rich in character. The democratic
party now finds it necessary to utilize
his character and his brains.
Ii MIR. THURMAN possesses these eX-
traordinary traits Of charater, why is
he not urged for the presidency? 1t
is a very pertinent question, and the
answer to it is easily given. He can
not be nominated for president for the
same rt uson that Inc lost his seat IN the
senate. The Pacific railroads were
built upon the credit loaned by the
government. In time they became
valuable property, and millionaires,
"railroad kings" and bonanza men be-
came Synonymous with the position of
director, or other prominent official or
stockholder connected with the Paci-
6c roads. Meantime ,he debt due
from the Pacific syndicate to the gov
ernment remained unpaid. THURMAN,
from his seat in the senate, introduced
n bill, which became IA law, compelling
these men to pay the people what they
owed them. The old man could not
be blufled, bought or frightened out OF
his determination to press the matter.
The lobbies were defied and the syndi-
cate treated with contempt. In short,
the bill became law, aAd more than
that, il stood the test to which 1t was
subjected in the courts. THURMAN
earned the lasting gratitude OF his
countrymen, and seat for life in the
senate. What was his reward? His
seat was taken from him and in his

THE TRUMP HAN

OYE WING of the labor party has held
convention and nominated candidate
for president. We do not remember the
gentleman's name, but have no doubt he
Is an intelligent, honest, and worthy citl-
zen and would II elected serve the couh-
try with credit to himself aud to his
party.
He will not he elected. Whom 1t is re-
membered that the number Of voters who
are laboring mcu is much greater than
the number who are not laboring men,
some reason must he sought why this is
so beyond tho question OF numbers. The
difficulties in the way of that party are so
many and each is so connected with the
other, that it is impossible to separate
them and say this is the reason, or that Is
the reason. In the first place who are
laborng men? Is the editor Of n newspa-
per who works with his brain and pen
from ten o'clock in the morning until
twelve o'clock at night,'and who supports
a wife and eight children solely from the
results OF this work, laborpg man? Is
any man who works AZ all, laboring
man to the extent that he does work, re-
EuTulcSS Oh tnt CiltIu'itT VI iIit N'iN 'o
does? Having settled this question which
has never been settled the next difficulty
presented Is to agree npon line OF policy.
BY that is meant line OF policy relating
entirely to labor aud its relations to Ia
borers and to non laborers.
NJ set OF laboring men will ever agree to
the following proposition and put it in
practice and yet 1t is the only perfectly fair
and correct theory on the subject; to-wit; ;
that any Inan who works faithfully oil day
is entitled at night to the same compensa-
ton that any other man gets for his la
Dor, regardless of the amount of work done
or the kind of work done Because when
a man does all that he has the ability to do,
he has done all that any other man is en-
titled to credit for doing. Any departure
from this fundamental principle, is no
more nor less than an approval Of the
present system, which rewards men ac-
cordinS to what they do. Any movement,
that stops short of communism pure and
simple, is our present system under an
other name and with another set Of fel.
lows in office.
The Lord o oil illustrated the true theory
of labor when he rewarded alike the labor
ers to whom he had entrusted the talents.
Ali who worked Jared alike. This kind of
justice is promised those who get to the
Kingdom OF heaven and the REVIEW is of
the opinion that they will have to go there
to get it.
The man who can discover satisfactory
solution of the difficulty attending the in
equities of life is an immortal benefactor of
the human race. 1t has been the question
of the age an6 1t is as far from solution as
ever. The best we have been able to do is
to say that in this great game of life no play
ers shall deal from the bottom Of the pack
but If the deal is fair the holder Of the
trump hand takes the game.

The men who build up new coun-
try are the men who work. The great
body of consumers are laboring men
and women. They are entitled to the
first and best considerations. Many
efforts have been made, sometimes by
themselves, sometimes by Others, to
better their condition. That these eff
forts have failed in part is no reason
why they should be abandoned alto
gether.

interview it may tc said that the
Northern Pacific road, what ever may
have occurred in the past, oday re
allies the fact that Spokane is enti-
tied to equal consideration with all
cities on the line.
Mr., FULTON is equally frank in his
statements. lie has charge OF the
freight department Of his company.
He saws that the interstate commerce
commission will no longer allow roads
to nut their own Interpretation on the
interstate commerce law, but has de-
tcrmined that hereafter there shall be
no greater charge for short than II
long haul in the same direction. The
result Of this decision. in his opinion,
is not that we will get cheaper rates
h,1t that Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and
other terminal points will be charged
a greater rate. This point is TO be
pussed on at once 10y the transconti-
mental association. That association
in Mr.. FULLERS opinion, Will raise
through ircighls and keep ours about
what they are, So that in the near
future Spokane viii get freight as
cheap a., any place west Of here. This
means that Our merchants and
business msnwill be on an equal foot
ing with those Of Portland, Tacoma
and Seattle; and that means that the
trade ot The entire country from the
Rockies to the Columbia river, and
from British Columbia to the Lewis
ton aud the Camns prairie country IS
ours. ii the Northern Pacific will
give us what they say they are now
giving u,, iHr chance for immi-
grants, and the interstate commission
cniorces the long and short haul clause

future Of our city is bright, indeed.

AN INTERVIEW.

The interview in another column with
Messrs. Fee and Fulton, Of the North
crn Pacific railroad, will be read with
great interest by the citizens of Spo-
kane, as well as the people OF the sur
rounding country. Mr.. FEE conveys
the gratifying intelligence that the
tide of Immigration, to our territory,
is not unchecked, but Is rapidly in
creasing. That from all over the
country inquiries are daily received
by his company as to our resources,
and that these inquiries are promptly
and favorably answered. Mr.. FEE as.
sures us that there is no discrimina-
ton in the passenger department of
his road against our city, and no at
tempt is made to direct travel TO other
points. lie says, also, that his road
fully recognizes the fact that Spokane
is travelling rapidly its journey to the
position of great city. From this

EsTERDAY morning the REVIEW
published the particulars Of the kill
ing OF an Indian on Wednesday last
10y Chief WARREN. The facts devel-
oped at the inquest Yesterday are in
substantial accord with the statement
published in this paper. MIR. WARREN
was eXhoueratcd from all blame. So
much for this part OF the business.
Something further remains, however,
and perhaps it is the most important
part of the whole affair. Some person,
contrary to law, contrary to dccencv
contrary to true manhood, sold this In
dian whisky, and it was not until hls
brain was maddened by liquor that he
began the spree that ended in death.
Whoever sold liquor to that
poor wretch ought 20 pay
the penalty Of his crime. Mr..
WARREN informed reporter of tn
REVIEW that the arrest of IL person for
selling liquor TO an Indian had here
tofore been treated as n joke and that
the fines were so trilllng as not t.
amount to restraint. The court can
make it something more than farce
for the person so convicted, and the
REVIEW demands the arrest and pun
ishment OF these criminals i'll man
ner that shall end the business. An
Indian has Il right to live.

Tur Reformed Presbyterian church de

The Reformed Presbyterian church de-
clares its refusal to recognize this as a ma
tion unless I'm some way we proceed to ac-
knowledge CHRIST as king. 1t strikes us
that this acknowledgment is hardly neces-
sary. 1t would add nothing TO the power
of the Savior to make such an acknowl-
ment; nor to our own piety. The trouble
with all this political religion can be stated
in nutshell. When the time comes to put
in writing our faith in CHRIST. which CHRIST
shall we acknowledge. the Baptist, Presby-
terian, Episoo palian. Methodist, Unitarian
Universalist or Catholic CHRIST? All
these churches have diflereut views of
CHRIST and his doctrine.

The North Pacific railroad situation as
regards Spokane can he summed up as fol-
lows: The road declares 1t is not dtverting
ana will not attempt to divert passenger
traffic from our city, and the interstate
commerce commission declares that the
road shall not discriminate against us in
the matter Of freight charges. The truth is
that Spokane bas reached the point where
all the railroads are disposed TO cultivate
our friendship. The roads are quite as
anxious about Spokane a. Spokane is
about the roads. While this is true, and
while it is also true that We rejoice at
reaching the point where we are no longer
the beggars we once were, yet we neverthe-
less welcome all the roads TO our city and
welcome all the favors they may extend to
us. Up To this time the balance OF iavors
is on our side the roads have got the best
OF it.
