No Cessation of Hostilities.

NEW YORK, May 22.-The lumber tie
up has broken out afresh. Not foot
of lumber can be bought in this city or
neighborhood. This is on account of
new complications arising between the
walking delegates and the manufac-
turers' committee. The walking dele
gates demanded the discharge of all
non-union men engaged during the
strike, which the employers refused.
The boycott will probably again be
placed on Bucki's yard.

The New York Tribune gloats over its own
shame. In eXultant mood it declares that if
the next Congress cuts of any of the extraya-
giant taxation foisted upon the people by the
late unlamented Fifty-frst, it will call down
severe censure on its head.
II asserts further that IF il appropriates as
large an amount as the recent Congress. il
will be compelled TO increase taxation in order
TO prevent national bankruptcy. The recent
Congress began its work with a large surplus
90 be distributed and that exists no longer.
There is not offered to the Democrats next
winter as pleasant an alternative AS some Of
them now imagine
1t is evident that the Tribune thinks its
party has placed the Democracy in a bad
dilemma, from which it cannot easily be extri-
Gated. But the organ Of Radicalism forgets
that the reckless extravaganza Of tho Fifty
first Congress was for the benefit of the few
at the expense of the many, and that if the
Democratic party in the Ffty-second shall re-
heve the people at large of their
load of taxation, while the few
may imprecate,. the many will applaud.
Principles, not men," has always been the
Democratic motto, and if the Democracy in
the next Congress will stick to its principles
the men of the country will be ready 10 give
1t as hearty endorsement in the future as il
did last November

political ally and party worker, Senators
Moody and Pettigrew. of South Dakota, de-
mand that he shall be restored to the place

typical case. and public attention cannot be
drawn to it too sharply or too promptly. The
question at issue is this: Shall Indian agents
continue to be appointed because Senators
demand their appointment as a reward for po-
utical service and wholly irrespective Of their
fitness 10 advance the Indians in civilization
and maintain the authority Of the United
States Government? II this system is to OBJ
ain in the fu ture as ii has obtained in the
past. the people need not be surprised if we
have q repetition Of those recent scenes in
Dakota. which have disgraced the Govern
ment and wasted millions Of money.
DIR. Rogers case is not only important in
itself. but it is of vital moItent in that its set
Element will indicate whether the people Of
this country are willing to tolerate the spoils
system in the management Of Indian affairs,
or whether the horrible massacres which have
lust taken place in Dakota, and for which the
spoils system is at least partly responsible
will stimulate them 10 demand Of the Govern
mcnt the adoption Of a reasonable policy in
the conduct Of the Indian service.

IMPROVING THE STREETS.

The Council Committee on Streets, While
making their annual inspection of our pubic
thoroughfares last Tuesday, must have been
greatly impressed with the wisdom of the
Board of Aldermen in refusing 10 appropriate
$4,000 of the peoples money TO the very
doubtful experiment of establishing an cleo
trio plant by the city. According to the ac-
count Of The TINES reporter, in every dl-
rection. as the limits Of the city were reached,
holes. defective pavements and mud. deep
enough TO stall country wagon, was the rule
rather than the exception, while some avenues
were reported as a vast stretch Of mud from
one end 10 the other. Even the best and
most frequented thoroughfares were found TO
be in frightful condition. and Hoods descrip-
ton Of the country roads in November:
wholly impossible,
Not even jackassable,'
might literally be applied TO the streets
of some Of the most thicklyAettled localities
of Richmond.
Whatever others may think Of the policy Of
the city's assuming TO act, even more than she
has heretofore done. upon the "paternal
principle in our municipal government, one
thing may be set down as very certain the
dwcllors and taxpayers along these miles and
miles Of slush and mud would greatly prefer
that the money needed for the purpose of an
electric light plant be expended upon
the improvement Of the streets in which
they are directly interested. Seventy-hve
thousand dollars spent III the way suggested
could accomplish q vast amount Of good, and
while adding greatly TO the comfort of all ciu-
zens would materially enhance the value Of
property along the neglected thoroughiares.
II would. of course. be unreasonable to ex-
pect for the streets Of a constantly growing
city, such as Richmond, TO be kept III per
feet order at all times. and especially after
such a season Of bad weather n we have been
inflicted with this winter But 10 the most
casual observer il is evident that there IS room
for reasonable and practical improvement,
and the streets of a city are just as necessary
to its prosperity and the comfort Of its citizens
as are roads 90 the farmer in the country. If
the Common Council thought the city could
easily and proftably invest $4,000 IN an cleo
the plant, surely they cannot fail TO recog-
nize the importance Of liberal OUTLAWS for our
avenues and roadways. No one can read Of
the condition of these latter, as published in
Yesterdays paper, and not be convinced that
