GENERAL NORGAN'S FOES.

Still another assault is being made, it seems,
upon Commissioner Morgan, of the Indian Blu
reau The persons desiring to prevent his
confirmation are certainly pertinacious. Their
original charge. that he had made a discrim-
mating use of patronage to the advantage of
some religious sects and to the injury of others
was pertinent, and everybody Interested in
Indian affairs gave the evidence adduced a
patient hearing But so far from proving the
charge the facts were found to dsSipate it
utterly They showed that the sect alleged to
have been injured had, on the contrary, par
ticular occasion to congratulate itself upon
General Morgans generosity.
But with the downfall of this another charge
was promptly set up. General Morgan had had
some difficulty with the officers of his command
during the war, and they had charged him with
"conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man. and had secured his arraignment before
a court martial. which found him guilty and
recommended his dismissal. Well, this was
manfred into. and it was found that the YER
dict of the court-martial had been overruled
by the superior officer, General Steedman
that the charge itself was trivial, relating to
the accuracy of a muster-roll; that General
Morgan had been restored to his command
that the court martial had been condemned As
unjust. and as being the tool Of an officer who
was seeking Morgan's place, and, in word,
that the whole thing was conspiracy, and was
so regarded by Colonel Morgan's superior
officers and by the Department at Washington.
II would seem as if the Generals enemies
might have been content with the results of
these two forlorn attempts to inure him. But
now they come at him again, and Senators are
gravcy assured that General Morgan ought
not to be confirmed because, they say, he once
sworc falsely upon the trial of an officer! This
relates 10 the same old cabal ont of which the
second charge proceeded. The plain truth
seems to be that all these allegations are the
work of two persons, with one Of whom General
Morgan had a personal difficulty during the
war, and the other he discharged for inSubOr-
dinaton Is il not time for the senate 70 put
a stop 10 this business of petty dctractiOn? It's

4 TRAySCOyTIyENT1L QUESTION.

The first report to the Secretary of the In
terror by the new Board Of Government Di-
rectors of the Union Pacific Railway will be
read with unusual interest. The directors find
the general condition of the road highly salts
factory. and commend the management in en-
thusastic terms They praise the ability, hon
csty and purposes of the present managers, and
cordially eulOgize their successful efforts III
rescuing the Union Pacific from the insolvency
which threatened it in 1884, and placing it
upon sound financial basis in tho face of
obstacles such as few railroads have ever had
to struggle against.
1t will crafty ALI who are interested in the
prosperity of great transcontnental line, and
in the proper administration of the important
trust committed to its officers, to find that so
able and well-equipped Board OF Directors
discovers nothing to criticise in the policy by
which its affairs are conducted. 1t is also a
matter of interest, not only to railroad men,
but to the people of the country generally, that
the Board earnestly recommends the passage
of the Cultivate bill, which was reported
unanimously to the House of Representatives
of the Lth Congress by the Committee on Pa
cifc Railroads, and also reported in like man
ncr by a special committee of the senate. Tho
report declares that this measure is based upon
two general principles that have been OBJ
served in all recommendations made upon the
subject by previous Boards of Government Di-
rectorS II declares that this bill will nm
doubtedly give the United States large amount
of additional security for the debt which the
company must pay to the Government, and
that this security will insure the payment OF
every dollar due before the time for which
the mortgage is given shall have expired The
report declares further, that under the proposed
law all vcXatiouS controversies between the
United states and the company, such as have
occurred under existing laws, will cease.
1t is certain that 50 urgent a recommends

them to their fate, and publicly announce that
they look for deliverance to "our neighbors
the United States" The Cape. Australia and
Canada have already repeatedly complained that
their local interests and welfare are continually
being sacrificed to the exigencies OF the for
egn policy of the Home Government, and now
little Newfoundland, Great Britains most
ancient colony is joining in the outcry. Senti-
ments such as these cannot fail to loosen the
bonds which connect the colonies to the mother
country, and must inevitably lead to their
final severance Lord Salisbury realizes this
peril, and fearing to drive the Newfoundland

hesitates before finally consenting to admit
the validity of the French contention that
Holsters are fish.
