THE CONVENTION.

Up to this morning no definite
action has been taken by the Re-
publican National convention at
Minneapolis, AS stated on first
page Of this paper, j Sloat Fassett
was made temporary chairman,
and Gov. VIM. Mckinley, of Ohio,
has since been elected permanent
chairman. A very bitter war; be-
tween the Harrison and Blaine
men has been developed, and it
looks as though the latter was
bending every effort to secure the
nomination of some one else--prob-
ably John Sherman, of Ohio. The
Indian Territory delegates were
allowed no voice in the convention,
but whether they were denied
seats in the hall is not stated.

LAND OF ENcHANTMENT AND Con-
TINUoUs SUMNER.
SAN DIEGo. CAL., May 10, 1892
The National Editorial Associa-
ton party reached this, one of the
most popular summer and winter
resorts Of the world last evening.
They were accorded the first chap
ter of the promised California
welcome at Barstow early Sunday
morning, the citizens of San Bern
adino coming out with a special
car laden with flowers, wine,
oranges and courteous gentlemen.
Most of yesterdays journey was
through the San Bernardino valley,
! Ga section surrounded by noun
tains, many OF them capped with
snow which must have rivalled
Eden. even though that noted gar
den had not long since grown up
with noxious weeds and lost its
glory.
Many of US have wondered why
il was San Bernardino and vicinity
had such a charm for our absent
Cherokee friends and has so long
claimed their presence. To the
writer the reason has been re-
vealed. There may be more at
tractive spots on earth-there GER
,ainly are not within the domain
of the United States. Orange and
lemon trees with their luscious yell
low fruit thickly dot the plain,
while well-kept vineyards inter
vene and extend up the hillsides;
luxurious tropical trees make |
shady and inviting lanes, and beau
tifully designed villas add en-
chantment to the scene. The /
Spaniard-the pioneer of all our
southwestern doman-may have /
lacked energy and enterprise, but /
his conception Of beauty was in
aowise deficient, neither was his
estimate of what nature could do
to make up for the lack of those
sterling qualifications for the at
tainment Of success. More than
century ago came the Jesuit
fathers TO this country, built
their missions and began the culn-
vation OF those fruits for which the
soil and climate were so perfectly
adapted and to this day these
same industries are the predomi-
mating and most profitable ones.
There is no cereal or other crop
which the soil will not produce.
and of alfalfa five and sometimes
six crops are cut in a season. A
thousand dollars worth of oranges
is not a remarkable product from
an acre in oranges. Leaving this
almost enchanted spot the South
ern California railway, a part of
the Santa Fe system, makes its
way to the shores Of the mighty
Pacific and threads along the
shining sands and grassy slopes to
the remOtest corner Of Uncle Sans
possessions, at San Diego. The
most noted natural feature Of this
place is its harbor, which in ex-
tent and depth is ample to accom-
modate the com bined navies Of the
world This harbor was discov-
cred by a Portuguese navigator in
the sixteen hundreds. but the

DEAR READERS u am writing
this letter at the very foot of
Pixies Peak in the shade it will
be, along in the evening. This
morning the weather is delightfully."-
warm. Last evening the mercury
was down to fifty And yet this
is country to which people come
for pulmonary or lung troubles.
TO a person who comes here ex-
pecting to see cramped up town
in the hills, after the order of
Eureka Springs, Ark, Colorado
Springs is an agreeable surprise.
The streets are wide and kept in
excellent condition, but are trifle
sandy. The three city corpora
tons, Colorado Springs, Colorado
City and Manitou, have a COM
bined population OF $1,000 and
are divided only on the map-not
to the eye. During the summer
months or July and August this
number is frequently increased
from three to five thousand.
This is a gala day here and in
connection with yesterday marks
the opening Of the season Of 1892.
The occasion is the dedication of
the Childs- Drexel Home for in
digent superanuated union printers
"a sort of soldiers home, f"
perhaps in a double sense, one Of
which the craft will best under
stand. The building is a grand
one, situated on commanding
hin and is an honor to the Typo
graphical Union of the United
States, under the auspices OF
which it has been erected. 1t is
named in honor Of Geo. W. Childs
of the Philadelphia Public Ledger
and Anthony j. Drexel, a banker
of the same city, who jointly do
mated $4,000 towards its erection.
The governor and staff, and por-
tions of the state troops, as well as
all the fraternal and benevolent
organizations Of the city are out
to-day. In addition the National
Editorial Association of the United
States to the number of five or
six hundred, are present. The
latter are en- route for San Fran
cisco and leave tonight in three
special Pullman trains, two from
Chicago and one from St. Louis,
via the great Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad. This is the
pioneer southwestern line to The
Pacific and all intervening points,
and its completion marked a
change in the course OF passenger
and freight traffic which has been
in its favor with each
succeeding year.
1t was the writer's intention to
ascend Pixies Peak but the snow
still remains and the cog railway, |
by which the summit is reached, |
will not resume operation for a
month yet A path leads to the
top but the snow makes it impos-
'ible to 60 more than to the "half |
way house," four miles up-the
whole distance being nine miles,
BY this route the ascent can be
made by a robust man in six hours
md the return in two, or while the
-ailroad makes three half trips.
The fare by rail is So for the
'ound trip.

A CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT.

a CAANGE OF GOV ERN MENT.
The coming of the Messiah was
never more firmly believed in by
the Israelites of old than is an
ultimate change in the govern
ment of this country looked for
ward TO by its citizens. Indeed in
all the treaties with the United
States provision has been made
for that event, as though it needs
must come. As to what changes
will come, and what effect they
will have upon the welfare OF the
people of this country no one
knows Shrouded in deepest mys-
terry is the future of the Indian
nations of this territory and
whether or not those changes will
be for the better will largely be in
the hands of those who have the
management of government affairs
in this country. But there can be
no question but that the dangers
of change have been oyerdrawn
by those who profit by leaving the
country in its present condition
There are so many conflicting in
terests in this country, and so
great a monopoly Of the common
property that it becomes more and
more unsatisfactory as the years
go by. More people are urging
the necessity OF an equalization
and a partitioning OF the land now
than ever before, and they are
driven to this conclusion by many
causes. One among the most po
tent reasons for a change in our
present way Of holding land is that
we are constantly exposed to an
outside pressure that is becoming
stronger every year. There can be
no question but that the Cherokee
people are reasonably well fixed |
as a people-taken as a whole. But
now the>.great question confronts
us-how TO remain SO or how to |
conduct the affairs of this people /
so as TO obtain the greatest good to |
the greatest number and at the I
same time forestall and preclude |
any possibility Of the peoples in /
terests being jeopardized or less
ened. Our best friends in congress |
have been urging the necessity Of /
this step upon US for many years,
and those Of our leaders at home
who appeal to the prejudices of
the full-bloods and tell them that it
is scheme Of the white man to /
rob them, do so from mercenary /
motives, because they know that it
is our only safety. As soon as the
1ntruders are removed from the
country (and they will be remov-
ed) allotment Of lands should
follow Immediately in the wake Of
that happy event. ]

The testimony taken by the
subcommittee on Indian affairs
recently in Washington, has been
the means without doubt of th,ow-
ing more light upon the intruder
question than has any previous
Investigation. And while we do
not entirely coincide with Mr..
Boudinops views on other matters.
he certainly deserves a great deal
of credit for the information he
has been able to furnish the United
States authorities on this particu-
lar subject. Mr.. Boudinot has
laid bare the position the intrud-
ers occupy in this country; every
phase of the question has been
ably presented. The government
now probably for the first time
knows definitely who the intruders
are and what their prospects are
for proving themselves to be citi-
zens of the Cherokee nation. 1t
has also been shown that we have
had regular and systematic ways
of d etennining who are entitled to
citizenship and that all those who
come with the proper proof are
promptly admitted. Every citizen
of this nation should rejoice at the
prospect Of speedy and final set
tlement Of this great question.

the close Of the war have discovered that
their careers were practically ended when
the war was over"
Doubtless General Averill had In mind
his own comparative failure as business
man. He had invented several articles OF
commercial value, only TO find himself
hampered by powerful rivals who gave
him no quarter. His career suggests that
of General Plcasanton. Who that remem-
bers anything of the war does not recoiiect
the enthusiasm with which the reports of
Pleasanton's brilliant and daring attacks
were received. He, too, was one of the
heroes. And yet after the war fortune
seemed to frown upon him. Business en-
terprises into which he went were failures.
He became almost recluse, and people
marveled when, few years ago, a slim
and shriveled gentleman, wearing an odd
sort Of cloak, with soft felt hat pulled
down over his eyes and walking in fur
tive sort of way on Pennsylvania avenue,
was pointed out to them as none other
than the once dashing and brilliant Pleas
anton.
General Miller told the writer Of his ex-
perience. He was one of the bravest OF
the Western brigade commanders, and he
lost an eye in the service. Full of energy
and confidence. Miller went to California
after the war with the expectation of max
ing for himself a fortune. He had some
money. His first business venture was
failure. and although he bestowed the
utmost care and caution upon other ven
lures they, too, absorbed his fortune
such as it was-and he Mt last found him.
self poor man. He was glad to receive
the appointment of collector at the port of
San Francisco, and he made up his mind
that his career ended when he was mus
tered out of service.
One day there came into his office
sailor-looking chap who proposed to Miller
that If he would victuai and stand the ex-
pense of providing crew for ship, this
skipper would furnish the ship and would
take it to place where great wealth could
be procured. Miller was incredulous, but
the man was persistent, and in hap
hazard sort of way Mr.. Miller and few
of his personal friends agreed to go into a
sort Of blind partnership with this old salt.
Miller said himself that he had always
failed in everything which he had under
taken with caution perhaps he might sue
coed now that he was going it blind, SO to
speak. After several months the skipper
returned. with his vessel loaded down
almost to the gunwaes with cargo of

he remembered until he was awak-
ened by the corporal OF the guard.
He said that he must have fallen asleep as
suddenly as though he had become uncon-
scious By blow. He did not plead for
mercy, but simply told that story, and
every one who heard it knew he told the
truth.
But there was no help for him. He had
been caught Sleeping on post and in the
face of the enemy. and he was convicted
and sentenced TO DE shot. 1t was plain
that the officers, although they appeared
10 be stern. would be secretly relolced if
the president failed TO approve the sentence,

nearest telegraph station and sent a
message to his father, stating that Herbert

shot as soon as the president approved the
sentence. Within an hour Mr.. Beckwith
was closeted with Governor Buckingham,
ana within two hours the governor, laying
ASIDE MS great cares, was on his wayto-
" ashlngton. He saw President Lincoln,
told hlIn that Herbert had been Sunday

with enthusiasm. Many of those who
have often heard Depew are of opinion
that this was the finest Grafton ever de-
livered by him. 1t differed entirely from
the address of lngersoli, which was really
prose poem. Depew's address was
rather the speech or q statesman inspired
to lofty and solemn sentiments through
the contemplation of the heroes whose
achievements he was to celebrate. Colonel
IngersoIi, who heard the address, pro-
nounced it one of the finest specimens of
eulogy ever delivered by an American.
Addresses which have inspired the lofti-
est sentiments and have suggested the
tender and pathetic associations arising
from the Decoration day ceremonial have
been delivered by Henry Ward Beecher,
DIR. Talmage, General Horace Porter, Gov
ernor Long. of Massachusetts, and Fred
erick Taylor. Perhaps one Of the most
noteworthy of Decoration day addresses
was the one delivered by General Garfield
at Arlington. Many Of those who heard
il were familiar with Garfield's oratory.
He was singnlarly felicitious when SPEAK
ing upon subject involving the higher
order of sentiment, and in this Arlington
address he reached probably his finest ora
torical achievement, at least upon SUBJ
Ject not political.
After all, bearing in mind the great ora
tons which have been delivered upon
Decoration day or upon the occasion of the
dedication of Federal cemeteries, no effort
can be compared--all things considered
with the brief address delivered by Presi-
dent Lincoln at the dedication of the
National cemetery at Gettysburg. Decora-
ton day was then unknown. The war was
not over. Grant had not been long the
commanding general in the asmies. 1t was
intended to make the Gettysburg cere-
monial so conspicuous an event as to fix
the eyes of the North upon it. and if pos
sible inspire those who were fighting for
the Union with new hopes and firmer pur-
poses. For that reason President Lin
coin consented 10 go to Gettysburg
and, as he said. say something ap-
propriate to the occasion. The orator Of
the day was to be Edward Everett then
esteemed one of the greatest of American
orators. Mr.. Everett prepared his Grafton
with even greater care-if that were posi-
ble---than he had been accustomed to be-
stow upon his previous addresses. No
orator ever took more pains with the co M
position of his speeches or more patiently
drilled himself with respect to the elocu-
ton and oratorial graces that should en-

and there came 70 his mind now and then

the Imagery OF the poet, and these he re
tanned III his memory. Thus little bv lii.
tie he composed that speech. II was the
work OF years, and when he was invited 10
deliver the address he found that the ad-
dress was ready To he delivered and only
awaited the occasion.
Colonel lngersoll has delivered one or
two other addresses. but he seems ~ have
said in the Indianapolis address all that
there was 20 say, so that his later speeches
have been unfortunately regarded as mere
echoes of this more famous poem.
One OF the most notable Decoration Gay
addresses was that one delivered by
Chauncey NJ. Depew in the Metropolitan
opera-house, New York. on May 50. lS79
