The major is right. The debt we owe
tothe men who came to the rescue of
the union when it was in peril is be-
yond estimate; it cannot be computed.
The soldiers are not looting the treasury,

believe. They are simply receiving

TIE IxTELMGEScER is a firm believer
in the efficacy Of campaign Of educa-
ton, and is in favor Of taking time by
the iorelock. It is not too early for the
Republican clubs to be getting to work
for the great battle Of next year. There
is too much at stake that involves the
welfare of the people to put off
until the eve Of the campaign what can
be done to-day. The clubs did a great
work in 1883, and much Of it was due to
the fact that an early start was made.
Tie work of reorganization in West Vir-
einia should begin at once.

TuE death of James Russell Lowell
recalls one blot in his record : the
fact that, although in New York on the
day Of the funeral Of ex-President Ar
tur, whose commission he held as
Minister to the Court Of St. James, he
took train for Boston rather than at-
tend the burial services. This act was
severely criticised at the time and lost
him much of the esteem in which he
was held by the people. he could be
forgiven for his change Of political
views, but not for this open disrespect
to the memory OF the man who had
commissioned him to the highest diplo-
matte position held by any American.
The act was unworthy Of sogreat man.

A PLOT AGAINST THE CZAR.

MORE OF THE CoNSPIRAToRS LIKELY TO BE
ARRESTED AT THE WESTERN FRONTIER.
St. Petersburg, Dec 2s.-The police have been
showing much activity of late, more particularly
in Russian Poland, and n large number of arrests
have been made. One of the persons arrested at
Warsaw was the Polish historian, Vladislav
Smolensky The fact became known to-day that
the arrests were the result of the discoNe cry OF
the existence of secret league, the object OF
which was to assassinate the Car The police,
upon learning of the existence of the league, care
fully and patiently followed up the cews that
had come into their possession, and learned that
the ramications of the conspiracy spread to every
part of Russian Poland. The league included
many officials of the civil government, several
military officers and large number of students.
1t is thought that many of the persons con-
nected with the conspiracy have taken fright at
the knowledge Of their plans held by the police,
and that they will seek safety by fleeing from
the country. The authorities, however, are said
to be well informed TO the movements or every
one in any way connected with the plot, and
orders have been issued that the Austrian ana
German frontiers be closely watched for people
who may attempt to leave the country without
the requisite Government permission. IL is be-
Heyed that further arrests will soon be made at
the frontiers
