Hon. Thos. C. McRae, by reason of having served longest on the com mittee, as also for valuable services performed, is entitled to the char manship of the Public Lands com mittee, in the present Congress, and doubtless he will get the place. Mir. McRae was virtually head of the committee in the 49th Congress, re- porting most of the bills from it. It is one of the most important commit tees of the House, and Mir. McRae is fully able to direct it as chairman, having delved into the intricacies of all public land matters in the inte- rior department, including railroad lands, earned and unearned. His able work on this line heretofore has received national commendation. Mr. Crisp will make no mistake in placing Mir. McRae at the head of the committee on Public Lands.

THE DEBT STATEMENT.

The monthly debt statement for November shows that the treasury is going on steadily losing its cash and that the holding up of appro- priatons cannot much longer delay the official declaration of the exist ing deficiency. The cash balance on Nov. 3Oth was less than the cash balance on Oct. 3l-t by 5,0O2. The pretoudcd balance was Sl39, 156,9,l. Dlduclug the items that must come out of this total, the character Of which the World has explained from month to month, and instead of surplus there is a ded- ciency of -Z9.5j3.562. This aggre- gate would be greatly increased if there were aj le3 tae items of appro- priatious that tle secretary should have but has not paid.

ORIGINAL POLITICAL IDEAS.

The message of Governor Campbell, of
Ohio, differs from the average Gubernato-ial
document in containing some very original
ideas and expressing them with refreshing
frankness. 1t is striking illustration OF
the latter quality when the Governor tells
the Legislature that the Board of Pardons
was somewhat demoralized" last year but
is now all right; while with regard to ballot
reform be enforces his views, especially on
the minority of the Senate, in very frank
way. which indicates that he does not care
much for the majority,
In his advocacy of certain reforms the
Governor is no less original and outspoken.
His views on the subject of municipal self
government are carried out to such de-
gree that he would not only let every city
govern itself under uniform charters as re-
CARDS the whole of them, but would let each
city frame its own charter. This is a de-
votion to the theory of self-government that
is logical in the abstract, but in prac-
tice it would probably lead to some
developments in large cities fully as remark
able as those produced by the opposite the
ory of not letting the cities govern them
selves at all.
Hardly less radical is Governor Camp
BELLS suggestion of compulsory primaries by
which primaries must be held under legal
forms, and every man who does not vote at
primary is to lose his vote at the succeed
ing electionl This is recommended as a
remedy for the habit of staying away from
primaries; but whether it might not result
in more people staying away from elections
remains TO be seen. Such a provision would
put the fractions citizen who does not con-
slider himself as belonging to any particular
party in tigh. place; unless he adopted
the somewhat heroic measure OF forming a
party and holding primary all by himself
Governor Campbell's Recommendation on
the subject of trusts displays singular
falling off from his radical deliverances on
the other subjects. After referring to the
growth of those combinations he recon-
mends that action should be taken to inves-
tigate the question whether they are legal or
not. As, among the judicial declarations of
their illegality, is one outspoken decision
of the Ohio Supreme Court, givel some
years ago, declaring all such combinations
illegal, it seems as if an Ohio Governor who
is SO outspoken in other matters, might have
recommended more positive action in this
particular.
With this exception the terse and original
character of the Ohio Governors message
has character like fresh breeze blowing
through the usually rather stagnant atmos-
phere OF State politics.

INDIANS SURELY WRoNGED.

Every day adds fresh evidence o empha-
size the conclusions drawn in regard to tn 1.
Indian troubles. The official correspondence
which has passed between General Miles
and the authorities at Washington proves
quite conclusively that the Indian uprising
was first rendered possible by infamous
abuses, and that Colonel Forsythe, in COM
mand at Wounded Knee, was guilty of un-
soldierly conduct. General Miles urges the
appointment of certain officers at each of
the seven agencies to inspire confidence, in
the hope of securing peace without much
further bloodshed. Will; the best may be
hoped from General Miles presence and
wise policy, there is still much doubt whether
the worst results of imposition and mis-
management have yet been experienced.
The cautious inquiries sent out by the Gov
erument to ascertain what could be expected
from former army officers in case of
emergency, indicates fear that something
serious may happen.

ALARMIST FIGURES.

In referring to quotation of the premium
on gold at Buenos Ayres, the Albany
Journal says: "If the free silver devil gets
in his work we shall read instead of the
above: New York gold to-day was quoted
at 125 per cent premium" THE DIS
PA-' H has heretofore expressed its belief
At free silver coinage would produce a
pr irIm on gold, and has shown that the
questio is whether the nation wishes that
result. But in ord.; to have an intellige It
discussion of the question, it is necessary to
have some respect to the actual figures. In
the very same column in which the above
assertion is made, tn. Journal states that
the gold value of the silver dollar is so cents
Therefore, if gold went to 125 premium,
silver would have to 20 to 20 per cent
premium. Or, to put it in another way, if
free coinage did not increase the value of
silver by reason of its increased use, the
utmost premium to which gold could rise on
the present ratio, would be 25 per cent. 1t
is we'll to have the facts and figures on
financial issues In state of moderate cor
rectness.

THE sIOUXs LAST PRAYER.

No one who saw that scene will ever be able
TO blot out OF memory the savage fanaticism
with which the ghost dancers fought to the
death. Every man in the Seventh was
hero.-ReportJ from Wounded Knee.
God of our fathers-who hath turned Thy face
So that their children never see Thee smile
Are there no thunders in the Land of Life,
No lightning swifter than the missile sped
From wars dread instrument, to shake and blast
The foes of truth and conscience, who assan
With death Thy children, and with worse than
death
Blot out Thy chidren's valor? Be Thou kind
To let us die as died the braves of old
With none to smirch their courage with sneer.
Their eroism term fanatic rage.
Though from the lands Thou gavest us long time
Like deer and bison from their brakes and plains
We have been crushed and crowded till the voice
That in the morning from the wigwam calls
The sleeping maids is heard throughout the space
The broken tribes now hardly know their own
Though from bold pride of race we've sunk to be
The scorn OF all the people Thou dost shield
And where we strobe as lords now crawl as
Thou in Thy wise all-knowing knowest well.
When all things else have left him there remains
Within the Indians breast the fearless calm
That death NAV rufle as the summer winds
May shake the heart Of Shasta.
Come Thou near
In battles hour to those Thou one time loved
And lend to them so much of thatd love
To make ashamed the foe that sights their deeds
And strips them OF their courage as their landsl
We know, oh, God. no longer red mans God.
That Thou hast doomed us, as the tall, rank
grass
8y fame and plow consumed, to pass away
That other life and customs may usurp
The wild, untroubled freedom of the past
But as we fade beneath the sword or yoke
And strike despairing blow in ancient pride
Let not the Knockers, scofing at our wounds,
Belle our SPIRIT or, ungenerous,
Style heroes madmen, valor savagery.
These are our women and our children here,
Dear as their wives and babes to white mems
hearts;
These and ourselves we offer to the blaze
OF horrid death that thunders from huge guns,
To slash of saber, and to tramp Of horse,
For that we have-though stripped Of all things
else.
Though steeped in misery and wretchedness,
Though shorn of all the dignities Of men,
Though humber than the dogs that lick our
feet
The pride OF race tina: stirred our fathers brave
And made them rather bleed than serve.
IT. then we have the courage so to do
As did the bands tradition honors STILL
Let them who see perish. them who slay.

If they, caressed by death, be heroes, ~ we
Embracing death, have title to be 'sbraves.

CLOUDS WITH A GOLDEN LINING.

The familiar old trademark of Pittsburg
its famous smoke-cloud-which distin-
guished it by day, while the furnace flames
ilIumined it at night-once more begins to
hang over our city. The rugged, brown
hillsides of the Southside are no longer so
clearly visible across the river as they were
a year ago, and the rays of the winter sun
come to us through gradually thickening
veil. Columns of black smoke pouring out
here and there from tall smoke-stacks in the
business part of the city remind us BY their
inky trails of the normal hue and condi-
tions of the atmosphere when the reputation
of the city as the smokiest in the whole
world was at its zenith.
Of course, all this is not just as we would
have it. When, in 1884, the old smoking
Aladdin's lamp of Pittsburg, which had be-
come so famous for its very SCOT and CRIME,
was rubbed up and FURNISHED anew
and fed with natural gas, there came
not only an effusion of new riches to the
CITY, but also a luminosity of atmosphere
and perfect cleanliness, overhead at least,
which to the newly kindled imagination of
he community suggested, if not a paradise,
perhaps future sanitarium. 1t is hard TO
part with this beautiful dream, and so long
as we have still considerable quantity of
gas for domestic purposes, and inventive
genius striving hard on all sides to use coal
without producing smoke, we do not in
tend to give up the hope that the city will
eventually be brought back to the recent
halcyon condition. The partial relapse we
venture to say is only temporary. The
system of pipes for conveying gas is still
here; the raw material for the making of the
gas is in our hills; the skill to devise full
supply, and with reasonable cheapness, is
bound to be evolved by our inventors and
shrewd restless business men sooner or later
Meanwhile, the blackest clouds have
their silver lining; and it is substantial con-
ISOLATION to know that Pittsburg's cloud,
now, as in the past, only very much more so,
will always have Innings of gold. 1t signi-
ies that the tremendous industry of the
town is active; that while the seven years Of

NO REASON FOR FAILURE.

1t is singular illustration of the way in
which promising affairs can be turned into
the way of failure that is afforded BY the
fact that the work of raising funds for Gen.
eral Booths plan of transplanting the Lon
don poor into colonial industry, after being
nearly on the verge of success, now seems to
be going to pieces. The statement is that
there was only $500, 900 more needed to COM
plete the fund of S., 600, 900; but the sub
scriptions are now being withdrawn or with
held. and general attack is made upon the
project.
The turn of the tide seems to have been
caused by the quarrel between General
Booth and Commissioner Smith, who was
understood to be the financial mind of the
Salvation Army. As part of the quarrel,
the assertion that the pamphlet in which the
plan was developed, published in General
Booths name, was not written by him at
all, seems to have had very unfavorable
effect. Commissioner Smith asserta that the
work was his, in which case his assent to
having the work published in Booths name
puts him under a discredit almost equal to
Booths. Another report credits the author
ship of the work to Mr.. Stead, of the Pail
Mall Gazette. Finally, the plan is attacked
on the ground that not enough guarantee ex-
lists for the faithful devotion of the vast sum
SO nearly raised to the purposes for which it
was to be used.
While there may be some cogency in these
objections if offered solely to the idea of
raising General Booth 10 the rank of prophet
of new reform, it is decided non sequitur
to abandon the plan promising such vast
good, for such reasons. General Booth NAV
have shown a perverted moral sense in re-
gard to literary personation but the dis
pute rs to the authorship Of the plan should
not prevent it from being judged on its
merits. The first proposals may have lacked
checks and safeguards over the expenditure
of the funds but that should not prevent
the work going on with the safeguards pro-
vided. The plan has been judged and ac-
cepted on its merits. 1t was recognized as
feasible project for converting thousands of
miserable halfstarved wretches into happy,
industrious and useful producers. The
money necessary to carry it into effect was
nearly raised and all of sudden disputes
and auarrels, which have no more bearing
on the real merits of the plan than the spots
on the sun have on the life-giving qualities of
solar light, inspire the public with distrust,
and sets subscribers to Withdrawing their
subscriptions under a rather unreasonable
panic created by the idea that something is
