GOOD WORDS FOR GRESHAM.
J. F. Carney Writes from Chicago,
and Says Many Good Words for
an Ex-Soldier.

The FREE PRESS is pleased to give
space to the following letter from for
mer townsman and uncompromising Re-
publican-a man who is known all over
Southern Minnesota as "Jim" Carney.
MIR. G. Is shrewd politician, has caught
the Gresham boom, and writes:
CHICAGO, May 6, 'SS.
The candidacy of Judge Walter @.
Gresham is daily booming i'm larger pro-
portions, and gathering new and power
ful accessions of strength. and influence.
All the indications point to solid dele
CATION for him from this State. The
masses of the people are rallying to the
call of his name, and the armies of work.
ing men are preparing to enlist under
his standard. The Labor Signal, the or
gan of the Knights of Labor of the State
of Indiana, says:
"The widespread presidential boom of
Judge W. q. Gresham is one of the po-
lItical phenomena of the times, and
izen without regard to party"
1t Is not the result of any machine
work, but comes from the masses of his
party with spontaneity that must COM
mand the admiration of all men. Judge
Gresham has wide reputation for per-
sonal and judicial integrity. He is not
a schemer nor double dealer in any
thing, but straightforward to refresh
ing degree. His career has been honor
able at all times. Born in a log cabin in
Southern Indiana, his march upward
has been brilliant, and now he stands on
the threshold of the highest position in
the gift of the American people. In
war he was patriot, and became great
General, brayely winning his stars at
the lannon's mouth. On the bench he
just. AS cabinet minister he won dis
tinction by his remarkable knowledge of
the affairs of government, so that he is
well equipped for any new honors that
may await him. Judge Gresham came
from the humblest walks of life, and has
warm fellow-feeling for all the children
of poverty and toll. In the discharge of
his duty he has met the oppression of
the boss monopolist, Jay Gould, and
struck him fair and square between the
eyes. 1t was the first square knock
down monopoly has received in forty
years, and has gone far towards remOv-
ing any prejudice against him by organ
lied labor. Thomas B. Mcclure, the
leader of the "Forty-Niners" in New
York, and member of the General Ex-
ecutive Board of the Knights of Labor,
in speaking of Presidential candidates,
said that of all the persons yet named
by either party Judge Gresham was UNI
doubtedly the most acceptable to the
Knights of Labor. The Hon. John Red
stone, of California, for years President
of the Federation of Trade, says of Judge
Gresham: "He is the only man men
toned by the Republicans for President
whom the labor organizations would
support. He is the foe of monopoly and
the friend of organized labor" 1t is
now eight weeks until the convention
will be held in this city, and If the Re-
publicans are wise they will be ready to
select Judge Gresham. for President by
reclamation.

In view of the enthusiastic endorse
ment and denomination of Hon. John
Lind, it seems that the most sensible
course for the Democracy to pursue will
be to abandon the idea of running a
ticket this fall. Mr.. Lind's election by
an increased majority is 80 certainly as
sured that il Will be cruel to sacrifice any
tenderfoot who may think there is some
honor to be gained in standing up to be
year, and Growers committee should be
compelled to put up the ''stufr' instead
of bleeding some poor fellow who will
get nothing in return for his martyrdom.

the atheists who Jpg41y ma ut and out
and above board preach and practice in
fidelity and atheism will be considered as
criminals against society, as they are
now criminals against God. Society
will push out the leper, and the wretch with
soul grangrened and ichorous and vermin
covered and rotting apart with his bestiality,
will be left to die in the ditch, and be denied
decent burial and men will come with
spades and cover up the carcass, where it
falls, that it poison not the air, and the only
text IN all the Bible appropriate for the finn
eral sermon will be Jeremiah xii, 10: "He
shall be buried with the burial of an ass"
thousand voices come up to me this
morning, saying: "Do, you really think in
fidelity will succeed Has Christianity re-
ceived its death blows and will the Bible
become obsoleteF' Yes, when the smoke of
the city chimney arrests and destroys the
monday SUM- Josephus says about the time
of the destruction Of Jerusalem the sun was
turned into darkness; but only the clouds
rolled between the sun and the earth The
sun went right on. 1t is the same sun, the
same luminary as when at the beginning 1t
shot out like an electric spark from Gods
finger, and today it is warming the nations,
and today it is gliding the sea, and today
it is filling the earth with light. The same
old sun, not at all worn out, though its light
steps one hundred and ninety million miles
second, though its pulsations are four hun
dred and fifty trillion fluctuations in a Sec
ond. Same sun with beautiful white light
made up of the violet and the indigo and the
blue and the green and the red and the yell
low and the orange-the seven beautiful
colors now just as when the solar spectrum
first divided them.
At the beginning God said: "Let there be
light" and light was, and light is, and light
shall be- So Christianity is rolling on, and
it is going to warm all nations and all ma
lions are to bask in its light. Men may
shut the window blinds SO they cannot
see it, or they may smoke the pipe of specu-
lation until they are Swallowed under their
own vaporing; but the Lord God is a sun!
This white light of the Gospel made up of
all the beautiful colors of earth and heaven,
violet plucked from amid the spring
grass, and the indigo of the southern
jungles and the blue of the skies, and
the green of the foliage, and the yellow of
the autumnal woods, and the orange Of the
southern groves, and the red Of the sunsets.
All the beauties of earth and heaven brought
out by this spiritual spectrum. Great Brit

United States are going to take all America
foT God. Both of them together Will take all
Asia for God All three of them will take

THOSE organs who are engaged In
booming Mr.. Blaine for the presidency
in opposition to his expressed wishes,
announced with great flourish of trump
cts few days ago that Massachusetts
had elected a Blaine delegation to Chi

Massachusetts, Republicans were too SEN
sible and true friends of MIR. Blaine to
be in favor of forcing upon him nomi-
nation he had declined. Itappears tha:
such is the real situation. The Boston

GOVERNOR HILL, of New York, Thurs
day vetoed the Crosby high license bill
passed by the legislature of that state.
1t is nothing more than was expected
and only seems to give another illustra-
ton of the attitude of Democracy to-
ward the temperance question. That
party will always be found on the side
of the liquor sellers as opposed to all re-
.strictlon in the way of temperance laws.
Yet the third party prohibitionists take
every opportunity to aid that party in
its opposition to the Republicans who
are always found on the side of temper
ance. morality and good order.

THE candidacy of John Sherman is not


receiving as much newspaper notice and
is evidently not being conducted on the
windy plan which has been the death
of SO many booms. Mr.. Sherman's
friends are making a steady, earnest
and open canvass and are doubtless
picking up as many delegates as the
next one. Mr.. Sherman's frankness in
avowing himself as candidate in the
start, thus giving all others full informa-
ton as to what might be expected from
him, has earned him the respect and
confidence of his party, and it will be
strange if the lead which he will GER
tainlv have upon the first ballot does
not bring to him many accessions of
strength. One thing is certain the con-
vention would not make mistake in
giving some of the strong points in Mr..
Sherman's favor due consideration.

ONLY about twenty-five Democratic
members have given notice that they
will present amendments to the Mills
tariff bill. 1t seems plain enough that
the bill will never pass, and the entire
session will be spent in fruitless discus
sion, whose only effect will be to unset
tie business and retard the opening of
new industries throughout the country.
The Democracy can tinker and tinker,
but it is utterly incapable when it comes

THE remarkable enthusiasm which
characterizes the various Republican
state conventions is in striking contrast
with the commonplace and 'spose-will-
have-to-do-it endorsements which Cleve-
land is getting at the conventions of his
party. There was nothing in Cleveland's
record or character to enthuse his party
previous to his election to the Presiden-
cy, and he has conducted his administra-
ton upon plan that has not added to
his popularity with Democrats. There
seems to be no question that the Repub-
licans can win next fall if they take lit
tie care in selecting a candidate.

Effect of Commissioner Atkins' Decision
on The MISUNDERSTANDING Down New
LIE
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 24.-There is
great rejoicing among the Cherokee
Indians around Tahleqush over the
recent decision Of Iadian Commissioner
Atkins which has long been holding fire
and which on account of not being settled
has allowed %intruders, claiming blood re-
lAtionship to the C~herokees, to settle in
the Territory although the Indians would
not recognise their claims. The ruling
in the case of the Eastern Band Of
Cherokees VS.. the Cherokee Nation,
gives the Cherokee nation the
right to recognize who are her citizens.
This spreads conservation among the
intruders VINO are organized and declare
that they will not recognize the decisions
of the Cherokee courts or the commission
OF citizenship. The commission Of citi-
Zenship are now sunmoning all intruders
before them to show cause why they
should remain in the Nation. II they re-
fuse to appear, and many will appear for
they nave been in the territory for ten O.
twelve years and have valuable improve
ments, the commission will decide against
them and they will have ninety days to
dispose OF or sell their property to citi-
zens and after that date they will be
summary elected from the Nation by the
authorities Of the several districts.
The different tribes OF the Territory are
very much per,urbad over the situation at
Washington on account of the large num-
Der Of bills being introduced in Congress,
all aiming st changes IN Indian Affairs.
Springer's and Steel's bills are objected
to as being gross violations Of treaties,
Senator Vests bill is not so bitterly OPP
posed, as it contains features Of advGn-
tage to the advancement of the Indians.
The recent Kansas City meeting, it is IN
derstood, will have an unsatisfactory
influence. demonstrating petitions and
delegations are about to be sent to Wash
ington TO combat the above measures.

NILS &c Providence.

The Examiner has always taken up the
cudgels for Roger Q. Mills. It proposes
always to defend him when he is right
It has resented the charge thst the o. in
ais nsme stands for Qnixote with scorp
snd indignation. BuJ Mr.. Mills must not
presume upon our good will forever.
1t is Ttporled that the Congressman
from the Ninth district Of Texas, at q
manufacturers banquet at Providence,
r l., recently promised the msnufSc-
turers free raw mSterial, snd that the
principle Of protection should not be
touched. We ssy 1t /, so reported, for IL
sounds very unlike Mr.. Mills.
The principle II protection is either
wrong and should be abandoned, or Il Is
right and should be perpetusted, But
whether right o. wrong, II persisted in
BY the government, its application should
be universal and general. AS understood
free raw materials means free wool, free
unrehned sugar, free pig-iron and the
like. These are raw materials to the
manufacturer, but they are finished pro-
ducts OF those engaged in their produc-
ton. There is no reas1n why these raw
materials, the product Of American labor,
bhould not be inst as much protected as
he output Of the loom snd the workshop.
! A bSrbsrous negro 'populstion in the
south largely precludes us from becom-
ing a manufacturing people The south
must devote herself to the production of
raw msterisl in the future as in the past.
The principle of protection hiss aided a
few Of her products and unless II is to be
abandoned entirely it should not be
abandoned ct all. II Is wrong, per Sc,
put the way to correct the inequality is
bot to take the tariff on wool, sugar and
ice n lesve it upon manufactures.
ehat only exaggerates the evil. Far bet
