CHICAGO. July 25.-Lieut. Gen. Scho-
field. who has been making his last
official tour Of inspection Of govern
ment posts and the military service
generally throughout the country west
Of Chicago. arrived here yesterday on
his return journey to Washington. In
regard TO the Indian trouble in the
Yellowstone Park region, the COM
manding general of the army said:
II do not believe these uprisings are
widespread or apt to result gravely.
The war department evidently takes
the same view. The matter has not
been mentioned in the dispatches from
the department to me for the last three
days"
The commander found the army we'll
equipped and in excellent condition.
He said in this regard:
II found the troops especially per.
feet in campaign maneuvers. and their
work with the baggage and pack
trains Is admiral BILE. 1t would not
be proper for me to make
known at the present time any
changes I have in mind as result
90 this tour Of inspection. The most
important Of the pending changes are
on the lines of those inangurated sew
eral years ago-that Is the concentra-
ton OF troops in larger garrisons and
the abandonment Of the smaller pos IS.
The minor inland garrisons may well
be done away with and new posts es
tablished along the seaboard. Our
sea coasts arc very inadequately pro-
tected from the shore. but this will bs
remedied as fast as congress makes tho
appropriations.

Promise of brilliant Successes II the Com
ing Cnmpatgn.

--"--~-"~ -
ing Campaign.
Everything Is looking better ana
brighter for the democracy. and its
chances OF retaining control of the at
fairs Of the country arc undoubtedly
growing every day. OF course. the
most prominent factor in this improve
mcnt of condition Is the return OF busi-
ness prosperity, the apparent assurance
OF its continuance aud the universal
recognition of the fact that this Is due
almost wholly to the eradication OF
bad republican laws from the statutes
and 10 tn, wis, and bcncfccnt legis-
la;ion Of the Eifty-third congress. con-
trolled in both branches by the demo-
cratic party for the FIRST time in al
mos, forty years. The utter failure OF
the weak Strong administration in
New York city. emphasized by the bit
ter differences that divide the repub-
lican party in the Empire state, makes
great Democrat, victory in that state
this fall a certainty. The only ques-
tioE about it is the matter OF tho size
OF the majority, and when New York
city is confidently claimed by upwards
ocratic ticket it will DO seen that the
majority in the state may rise TO .
very high figure.
The reckless partisanship which was
projected into the New York constitu-
tionai convention, and which sought to
render permanent the most outrageous
gerrymandcr that has yet been at
tempted anywhere by Embedding it in
the organic law of the state. has
aroused great dissatisfaction among
those fair-minded members OF the re-
publican party who have in New York
SO often evidenced their independence
and integrity. SO that this outrageous
piece Of partisanship will recoil vio-
lently upon its authors. 1t Is not alone
in New York that the situation looks
hopeful The serious divisions in Ohio
and the great dissatisfaction prevalent
against the republican legislature In
Illinois, no less than the great inter-
necine conflict now going on between
Sir Matthew Of the Mailed Hand, and
the far-famed hog combine in Pennsyl'
vania, give rise TO much confidence oi
republican defeat in all those states
OF years are always productive Of
surprises, and it is curious fact that
the party that has met reverses in the
fall elections preceding presidential
campaigns has for many years proved
n sure winner in the ensuing contest
Traversing only the last dozen years
will demonstrate this conclusively. In
1883 New York and Ohio went heavily
democratic. Then came Cleveland's
first election. All the doubtful states
went republican in the fall OF 1887 ex-
cepting New York. and in that state
occurred the great democratic split re-
sultant upon Henry Georges cam
paign. which rendered democratic
prospects discouraging. Then came
Harrison's victory. In the fall OF 1891
as will be well remembered New York,
Massachusetts and Iowa went demo-
cratic, clearing the way for the great
victory that returned President Cleve-
land to the white house.
So that the early Frightening OF
democratic prospects this year and the
| promise Of democratic success this fall
are inspiring harbingers OF great
victory next year-Detroit Free Press

SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE.
Republicans Trying to Dodge Their Own
Arguments.

Arguments.
The republican papers resisted the
Improvement in business as long as
they were able. They were unwilling
to admit that improvement was taking
place. They made themselves ridicu-
lous by calamity bowls even after thci'
news columns announced the rumis-
taxable improvement In business Now
that they deem it incxpedient longer
to deny tho fact, they insist that the
democratic party is not entitled to any
credit for it.
The new attitude is as untenablc and
inconsistent as the old one. Repub-
licans have always maintained that
whatever happened under republican
rule was due to republican rule. al
ways provided it was favorable. They
have insisted that whatever occurs
under a democratic administration is
due to the acts of that administra-
ton, provided always it is in the
nature of disaster. But these two
positions cannot be held together.
They are absurd. II the repub-
licans are entitled to credit for
prosperity when they are in power,
so are the democrats under similar con-
,litions. They held the democrats re-
sponsible for panic which began and
ran much of its course before the dem
ocrats had lcgislated at all. This was,
Of course. altogether unjust and un-
reasonable. But after the party had
perfected all the legislation that 1t was
able to perfect. republican papers and
politicians said the laws passed, es-
pecially the tariff bill. would ruin the
country. They admit that the tariff
bill cannot be changed for two years,
but still they insist that II has had
nothing to do with the return of pros
perity. In saying this. they ignore or
repudiate the arguments which they
have been urging for twenty years.
Acute observers know very we'll that
we were near panic in February last,
and that the action Of the administra-
ton avertcd It. This action was de-
nounced by republicans at the time.
but business interests have been on the
upgrade ever since. For this the
