Ninth-That We favor a revision Of the tor
if and q reduction Of the same upon such
articles as it can be made upon without sac
ri6cing the interests Of American labor, and
that all accessories OF ltfb upon which the
tariff is a tax should be admitted at the low
est possible duty consistent with the preser-
vattou Of American industries. We charge
the national Democratic party with being
the enemy of Northern soil and Northern ID
Dor, and arraign it tor the determination and
sectional provisions of tho Mills BILL BY
which Northern productions are deprived Of
protection, while those of the south, the late
confederacy, which declared explicitly against
any tariff for protection, are protected by
high tariff, which is. In many cases, nothing
more nor less than q tax.
Tenth-That We condemn the present Dem
ocratic administration for its persistent and
continued hostility to the ex-Union soldiers
in vetoing pension bills upon the most friv.
olous pretext, without reference to the justice
thereby carrying out the theory Of the pres
ont executive that the aims house is tho
proper refuge of our brave veterans, as dem.
onstrated by his willingness that the
man who stood as his substitute should be
permitted to die there; that the foreign SER
vice of the United States should not become
the asylum for ex-Confederate soldiers, as

longs to the Union veteran. other things

Eleventh--Following the lead of our ma
tional platform az enunciated at Chicago
and Of the will OF the people, of this terri
tory as expressed in q majority Of the coun.

heartily endorse all just measures for the
Punishment of the saloon from our borders.

THAT PLANK WALK.

EDITOR lNTELLIGENCER:-Last week
some one, through the columns of your
paper, discussed the project of build
Ing II plank walk to the cemetery. /
vas glad TO see il, and hope it will not
stop here. | am sure | am supported
by the wish of all who arc interested
III that burying ground aud who is not?
The need of this has been long and
greatly felt, and has not been secured ,
simply because no me has taken hold
of the matter. | trust now it will not
be allowed TO rest until it is secured. 1t
need mo- cost much. Why not the COM
mittee in connection with Mr.. Gehner,
appoint a committee to canvass the
matter and see what can be done, then
solicit bids for the work and let the
contract! They have the power to do
it and no IL else has. May we not
hope to hear something tangible from
them in a few days. Again, while they
are in session it would be we'll to con
slider the wafer question? Water Is
greatly needed in the yard, and q num-
Der of citizens have expressed a wish
to have il, and this too can be secured
with but a small outlay and no trouble
to raise the money. Our W pride
10 say nothing of comfort and benefit
should he u sufficient incentive to the
good work.

THE LITTLENESS OF POLITICS.
James G. Blain's House Ransacked for
Damaging Letters.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-An Augusta. Me-,
special to an evening paper says: During
a conversation with one of Mr. Blaine's
personal friends. last Saturday, he gave
your reporter a piece of news which has
never been madopublic.
did you know I" remarked the gentle
man, that Mr.. Blaine's house was broken
into some time ago while he and his fami-
ly were absent and all his political and
business correspondence and private pa
pers involving financial operations
which were in his library were
overhauled and a portion of them alb
stracted? Well, SUCH is the fact The
matter has always been kept secret in
the hope that the thief might be be discov-
cred but he never has been. At least I
never heard he was. / don't think that
anybody in particu ar was ever suspected
of being the thief The supposition is that
the robbery was perpetrated in the eXpec-
tation of obtaining some of MIR. Blaine's
private papers which might be used to
his political injury if ever wanted. l
never learned the character of the papers
stolen.
When the robbery was discovered the
floor of the library was found to be Uttered
with letters and papers which had evident
ly been carefully examined. Every drawer
was found to have been ransacked and its
contents either disturbed or dumped on
the floor.

COMING RETIREMENTS.
Changes in the Army During the Present
Year-General Gossip.

WASHINGTON, May 2S-Inspector General
Baird of the army was due in San Fran
cisco today, whittier he had gone on tour
of inspection combined with pleasure.
This being his last tour of inspection previ-
Gus to retirement he will probably make
the best of it by visiting a number of the
military posts between here and the Paci-
fic slope. He is not expected in Wash
ington until about the middle of next
month. His retirement will occur
about August 20. Colonel Roger
Jones, now at Governors Is
land as inspector general of the lewiston
of the Atlantic, will undoubtedly succeed
him, and it is the general opinion among
officials at the war department that the
prediction regarding the appointment of
Captain Lawton of the Fourth cavalry, TO
the junior vacancy in the department will
be fulfilled. In thissevent, First Lieuten-
ant James Parker. regimental quartermas-
ter of the same regiment, will be advanced
to captaincy and will in consequence
come from his present station at Fort
Huachuca to Fort Lyon in command of
troop B.
Compulsory retirements in the army
during the remainder of the present year
for age are; Brigadier General James C.
Duan, chief OF engineers. June 80; Major
Edwin Bently, medical department, July
5; Colonel John j. Mason, Ninth infantry,
August %: Colonel Marcus D. Simpsons.

The request of the committee on the
Gettysburg celebration 10 have the light
battery from Washington barracks and
two troops of cavalry from Fort Meyer par
icipate has been disapproved by the Leu
tenant general. This action, it is thought,
was prompted by a desire not to depart
from the usual custom of having these
troops take part in the fourth OF July
ceremonies.
