AN IDLE RUMOR.

1t is an evidence of the dearth of
news when the Washington correspond
ents start the report that Mr. BLAINE
intends to resign from the cabinet. 1t
is not probable story. In fact. it is
not remote possibility, unless Gen.
HARRISON should die and be succeeded
by Vice President MORTON. And even
then the chances are that Mr.. BLAINE
would take more comfort in holding on
to his post than he does now, for Mr..
MORTON is so thoroughly the represent
ative of the corporations that Mr..
BLAINE would feel perfectly at home in
his cabinet. The fact is that while
President HARRISON has no personal
use for Mr.. BLAINE, and would be glad
enough to be rid of his presence at
the cabinet board, the exigencies
of the Republican party absolutely
require his retention at the head of the
cabinet. He is the soul of his party.
and without him there would be no life
in the organization. If Mr.. BLAINE
should resign, and turn his back upon
the president, the HARRISON admins
tration would be more dismal failure
than JOHN TYLER's, and the Republi-
can party would go to wreck in quicker
time than the old Whig party did when
HENRY CLAY and DANIEL WEBSTER
retired in disgust from its leadership.
1t is not from any love of Gen. HAIR
RIsoN, or for those around him. that Mr..
BLAINE remains in the cabinet, but
rather from that sentimental devotion
to the party for which he has done so
much, and from which he has received
so little. Mr. BLAINE may die, but he
will not resign.

land he first saw the game played.

UNJUST DISCRIMINATION.

The educational board in one of the
prominent cities in New York recently
resolved that any female teacher who
entered into the marriage relation
should be dismissed from service in
the schools, without regard to contract.
The male teachers may take wives, and
no word of objection is raised. Why
the distinction? Similar feeling has
been exhibited in the school boards of
several of the large cities, and the same
rule has been attempted, if not strictly
enforced. There is no definite state
ment as to why married woman is less
efficient as teacher than girl. That
she is needed at home is matter for her
husband and not the school board to con-
slider. The prejudice against married
women as teachers can hardly have
legitimate basis. School teachers pro-
verbally make good wives, and it is not
good policy to discourage them from as.
suming the position they are so well
qualified for. A blow at the married
state endangers home and virtue, and
should not be administered in the name
of education and morality.

ness, and that he has an ak to grind.
1t is limited that Gen. BUTLER feels
aggrieved because he was not rewarded
for, his services to the Republican party
last fall, by being appointed minister to
England. 1t is stated that he embodied
this stipulation in his contract with the
Republican campaign managers before
he took the stump for HARRISON and
high tariff. Like the others who belong
to the great army of disappointed office
seekers, Gen. BUTLER is indignant at
the bad faith of the administration, and
probably proposes to reorganize his
Greenback cohorts for the purpose OF
forcing the president into terms. He
expects to get enough Greenbackers to-
gether in some of the close states to
make it uncomfortable for the admins
tration unless his pretensions are recog-
nized. There is no financial issue and
no financial disturbance upon which the
Greenback party could hope to thrive.
Its reconstruction at this time could
only be for temporary purpose: and II
it is true that Gen. BUTLER is working
the strings, thenit may be set down as
certainty that there is mischief brew

WHAT HIGH LICENSE DOES.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat finds
temperance sermon that it pronounces
timely and striking in the fact that in
1884 Minneapolis had 500 saloons at S100
license, and now. at 81, 900, has only $50.
In the one case, the license amounted to
$4,000: and in the other. $3.50, 900. As
source of public revenue, high license
is manifest success. In view of this
fact good many high-toned people.
who want to believe that they are con-
cerned only to promote public sobriety,
are easily persuaded that high license
greatly minifies the harmful flow,
and is the most feasible approach to ex-
tirpation. An intelligent observation
and analysis of the situation must lead
to the conclusion that the revenue is
the chief virtue of high license. No
figures are likely to be adduced in proof
of any considerable reduction in con-
sumption. 1t aggregates and monopo-
Lies, but has no appreciable effect upon
consumption. Some of the most siren
uous advocates of the high license law
in this state now concede that as tenn
perance measure it does not meet their
eynaptati0nS

JURY REFORM.

The course pursued by the press gen.
orally of denouncing the people of
South Carolina for the verdict of ac-
quittal in the McDow case is mani
testify unjust to the respectable and law
abiding part of the population. The
newspapers of that state, almost with
out exception, have expressed their
indignation at the result of the
trial, and usually the voice of the
press is the voice of the people.
Last Sunday nearly every pulpit
in the city of Charleston spoke with
no uncertain sound upon the subject
and in denunciation of the verdict.> 1t
would, therefore, be a clear perversion
of truth to say that the people of South
Carolina approve of the finding of the
jury. The trouble in South Carolina
is just the same trouble that we have in
Minnesota-there is laxity in the
jury system which admits incapable and
dishonest men to the jury box. With
such fatal defect in the system it is
impossible to secure satisfactory results
from its operation. 1t mas not been a
great while since right here in St. Paul
eleven out of twelve jurymen hung out
for the acquittal of a murderer against
whom the proofs of guilt were as clear
and positive as they were against NC
Dow; and yet it would not be just to
hold the entire people of Minnesota re-
sponsible for the action of that jury.
What is needed in both Minnesota and
South Carolina, and in every other state,
is to work up public sentiment in
favor of jury reform so that none but
men of approved honesty and intelli-
gence will be admitted to the jury box.

AMBITIOUS TERRITORIES.

Wyoming and Idaho are going ahead
building state machines in the apparent
assurance that the door of the Union
will not be shut in their faces after the
larger quartette comesin. New Mexico,
too, is to hold a convention in Septem-
Der to inaugurate similar movement.
1t is noticeable that the Republican pa
pers see no objection to the admission
of the two first, and have no curiosity
even to know how many people they
have there. 1t is discovered that they
have lately been voting pretty strongly
Republican. and promise to continue to
do so. No other qualification is at all
important. But New Mexico won't do
at all. 1t may have more population
than the others, and be growing more
rapidly, but it has been voting wrong.
1t may take the hint from the two others
and make itself acceptable to the domi-
nant party in congress. Democrats will
see the wink.

REDUCING TELEGRAPH TOLLS

Whatever special occasion the post
master general had for his big slap at
the Western Union monopoly, the pub
lie will cheerfully acquiesce in almost
any discipline he may choose 10 enforce.
Congress enacted in 1866 that telegraph
companies might put their lines on the
public domain and in most places under
government control with the use of pub
lie timber. In return they were required
to give precedence to government busi-
ness at such rates as the postmaster
general should decide each year. The
rate first established has continued ever
since--one cent word for twenty
words, with 10 per cent added for excess
of 1000 miles. This is less than the
public pays by one-half or so, and has
never been. thought excessive, but
WANAMAKER Err has put the tariff down
to tenth of cent per word. That
is cut of 90per cent. No business rea-
sons appear for this reduction in favor
of the government, but it hits a mon
strous monopoly, and the public will be
apt to applaud unless the business COM
munity is made to pay still more to bal
ance the deficiency.

KNoTTY POINTS EXPLAINED.

Snap at Cheyenne

The Sioux Commission Strikes
Snag at Cheyenne.
CHEYENNE AGENCY, OAK, July 15.-
The Indians assembled about II o'clock
this morning. About 100 came In a COM
pact body singing wild chant, ap-
parently organized to prevent indl-
vidual action. Gov. Foster opened the
council, saying:
You kindly listened to us on Saturday
We are here to-day to listen to you. We are
anxious that you shall thoroughly under
stand everything, and will take pleasure in
explaining any points which are not
clear"
plain everything again and let us counsel
among ourselves before we talk"
Gov. Foster said: ''My friends, we thor
ough!y agree with White Swan. This is
very important matter. If all the Sioux
reservation was divided equally you would
have 907 acres each. The government asks
you to sell a portion, marked yellow. about
9,OOO.OOO acres. Now, if you should sell
this land under this bill you would have 972
acres each left, or sixty-five acres more for
would have if the whole reservation was di-
vided among all the Sioux Indians. This
yellow portion the government proposes to
sell TO actual settlers at Sl.25 per acre."
He then carefully explained the pro-
visions with reference to the permanent
fund and the methods in which the in
tereSt is to be expended, also with refer
ence to the schools industries, and other
wise establi he'd or continued explain
ing that at their request their schools,
provided under the treaty of 1869, were
continued without cost to them for
twenty years; that the purpose
of tho in1,,cfrsol cohnn1c
to enable their children to
become teachers. or mechanics
or farmers, the whole intent of the
bill being to advance the Indians in
civilization and ways of the white men
in order, or that all may become self
supporting. 1--WE hope tomorrow to hear
what you have to say" The council ad-
journed after the usual announcement
that beef cattle would be issued. 1t
was evident at the close that the feel
ing of the Indians was more
favorable than on Saturday. Yester-
day and last night at the Indian coun-
ellis the tone of all speeches was very
unfavorable, and there was an evident
determination that no expression in
favor of the bill would be tolerated.
There now seems to be somewhat of a
reaction. and it is possible that it may
be so managed as to bring about favor
able results which yesterday the most
sanguine could hardly hope for. 1t is
difficult to account for this radical
change in sentiment. Gen. Crook
had a talk with Hump this morn
ing. q He is the most influential Indian
among the hostile element. 1t is be-
lieved that this conference had an i'm
portant effect in moderating the prear-
ranged plans of the Indians and possibly
prevented serious interruption. Maj.
Warner went South yesterday OH i'm

commission.

THE GREENBACK MOVEMENT.

It IS such common thing fOrnew po-
litical parties to spring into existence,
to create a brief sensation, and then
vanish as suddenly as they appeared,
no one is surprised when the announce

going to sleep at unexpected moments,
and his people dare not wake him. The
fact that his majesty takes with him a
very pleasing young woman in boys
costume is being commented upon, and
has aroused the British matrOnS cOnSld-
erably. AS matter of fact the British
matron ought to be rather grateful to
his majesty for having only brought one
young person from his harem instead of
half dozen, which would have been
very moderate according to his point of
view, and for keeping this young
woman so much in the background
as he does. The shah's temporary
favOrite, who is very rarely seen, is
remarkably good-looking young girl of
CircasSian birth, not in the least re-
sembling the ordinary Circassian girls
of commerce as exhibited in the Amer
lean dime museums. She has short hair
and very fine eyes, and, in fact, the
classical combination which goes to
make up an Oriental beauty. Somebody
since the shah's arrival has been anus
ing himself by calculating his majesty.'s
expenses on this trip. Although nearly
everything is paid for by the govern
ments, towns, lord mayors and private
individuals with whom his shahShip
comes in contact, it seems that his own
expense account will easily go up be-
yond million and half of dollars be-
fore he gets home, on account OF pres
eDts which he gives and the size OF his
suite, which numbers over sixty, and
probably uses up great deal OF pocket
money.
