A Cincinnati clergyman fainted away the
other day, because oae of his old friends

Chabley Fabwell, it is said, has squan
dered over ten thousand dollars in working
up the Blnino boom in Illinois which died
abornia'. Somebody has said that a fool
and his money aro soon parted, and it begins
to look as if this was so.
Acklen, of Louisiana, is not to be censured
for entertaining dishonest motives in mak
ing a bogus report to the House relative to
the Nic&rauga canal, bat will be condemned
for indiscretion. A few more such indiscre

tight box.
Cole has been doing the blowing, but
Major Strait takes the tricks. The first two

If the P. P. will only publish one more ar

thing before him.
Edwabds Piekkepont, late minister to
England, is in Chicago boosting along the
Grant boom. He says the opposition to a
third term is simply a theory, that t-hould
not be recognized as of binding force by
men of intelligence or paroeption, one of
whom he is which.
If the monumental orazs oontinues in this
oountry a great deil longer, the government
will be entirely despoiled of its stock of con
demned cannon. Bat, after all, it is as well
tbat theio articles should be devoted to those
purposes aa that they should be stolen by
the contractors in the ordnance department.
The census enumerators will begin tin fr
work on Tuesday next. The last census was
notoriously inaccurate, being manipulated in
many localities for political purpo394. A
li f tle care this year would result in absolute
aocaraoy, and it is to be hoped that every
enumerator will be as careful as oircnm
stances will admit.
If a sufficient number of members of
Congress could be kept together, all th* bus
iness oould be disposed of by the end of
next week at farthest, but as a majority of
the Republicans have deserted the capital for
Chicago, it is probable that both houses will
be left without a quorum, and the session
extended as long as the 15th of June.
The favorable report of the House com
mittee on Pacific railroads on tbe request for
the extension of time for the completion of
the Northern Pacific railroad has had a
favorable effect npon the stocks of that com
pany. There has really never been any dan
ger that tbe request would be denied, or at
least that the lands of the road would be de
clared forfeit.
THE POT HOI UNO.
The politioal pot is beginning to boil at
Chicago. Each train bring* to the city
scores of politicians and their helpers, some
in the interest of one candidate aud some in
the interest of another. There are minors
of all sorts of combinations; each manager
of each different machina makes different
predictions and differeut calculations as to
the relative strength of his favorite and bis
rivals; each differs from the other as to the
beat mode of proceed are. There appears to
be no community of feeling between the re
spective candidates and their friends, and
eaoh aocusos the other of treachery, fraud
and doable-dealing. It is diffhalt to see
how, out of such a chaos order can be re
stored. Yet without somo sort of a reconcil
iation between the factions there can
not be the slightest hope of success.
The situation varies with every hour.
Each accession of recruits for taoh of the
factions inspire" them with renewed hope
and courage. One train may bring a large
Blame delegation with fresh reports from
this or that section of the country, and im
mediately the spirits of his adherents rise to
fever heat. An hour afterwards a large
Grant or Sherman delegation may arrive,
and the Biaine men become despondent and
apprehensive. So it goes, like a tetering
board, now up, again down. The only party
that seems to preserve its equilibrium ia the
Grant cabal. The leaders from the first have
presented a bold front, chiming everything
and conceding nothing. The very audacity
they display has a tremendous moral effect*
for people instinctively admire pluck wher
ever they find it. It is natural, too, for the
undecided to be drawn into the ranks of tbe
party that shows the greatest confidence of
success — the boldest front. It is partly a
knowledge of this quality in human nature
that has induced the Grant men to employ
ihese taotios. They look for large ac
cessions from the ranks of the
nainst meted, confident that they wiil desire
to be on the winning side, even though
thereby they should sink their own individ
uality. It is esteemed an honcr, too, by
many weak-minded men to be associated
with suoh men of eminence as are managing
the Grant canvass. They fancy themselves
their associates; in reality they are bat their
servants, doing their bidding with alacrity.
It must be confessed that Grant hes an
immense advantage in this respect Even
if it shonld be true that he has yet a minor
ity of the delegates, as his opponents claim,
enough will be secured from tbe ranks of
the uiiinstructed and wavering before the
meeting of the convention to carry the day.
The ether candidates acknowledge them
selves to be in the minority. Giant claims
* majority at the start, and seems to have i
good reason for the claim. He is pursuing
an aggressive policy, and that alone will
win. All are more or less aggressive, bat
none have adopted the bold taotios that have
characterized the Grant campaign. That he
will carry off the honor of the nomination
ficaioelj admits of a doubt. Even combina
tions cannot now defeat him.
MINNESOTA MEPUDIATORS.
An important bill, and one likely to be of
considerable interest to the people of Min
nesota, passed tbe New York legislature be
fore its adjournment, and was signed and
became a law on the 15th inst. It is enti
tled "Au Act to Protect the Rights of Citizens
of this State Owning aud Holding Claims
Against Other States," and is published else
where in this morning's Globb. It author
izes' in brief, the citizens of New York to
make over to tbe attorney general suoh evi
denoes of indebtedness against other States
as they may hold, payment of which has
been refused, when the attorney general
shall bring suit against the defaulting State
and take all legal means to compel payment.
It is principally designed to apply to the
States of Virginia and Minnesota, both of
whioh have defaulted in the interest on their
bonded indebtedness.
The Minnesota repudiation has long been
a Etain upon the name of our State. The
bonds were isßued in 1858, for the purpose
of facilitating internal improvements, with
the direct understanding that both princi
pal and interest wonld be paid. This pledge
has been violated so far as the interest is
concerned, and * to-day Minnesota occupies
the unenviable position of one of the most
disreputable debt-repudiating States in the
oountry, and we are almost absolutely with
out credit in the money centers of the
worid. The Republioan party came into
power on the issue of repudiation, and has
remained in power ever since on the same
issue. In order to make the repudiation of
these internal improvement bonds irre
vocable the first Republican legislature
incorporated a provision in the constitution
prohibiting tbe payment of principal and
interest forever exoept under authority of
a constitutional amendment passed by the
legislature and approved by
the people. All efforts of
the honest Democrats of tha State —
and they have been unremitting — to remove
tbe taint of repudiation from our common
wealth and restore its credit, have been un
availing, and we are still in disgrace through
out the whole world, unable to borrow a dol
lar to tide over any emergency, unless it is
borrowed from our own citizens.
For this state of affairs the Repnbllcan
party is directly and solely responsible.
While the newspapers and orators are point
ing the finger of scorn at some of the
Southern States that have sought relief from
the burdens of taxation oaused by debts ille
gally and dishonestly contracted, by repudi
ating a portion of their debts, they carefully
avoid reference to the Republican State of
Minnesota, that, in order to avoid the pay
ment of a just debt legally incurred, has dis
honestly violated its pledges, and rendered it
almost impossible for its creditors to realize
a dollar on their investments.
The New York law referred to may prove ef
fective in compelling the State to pay its just
debts, or to compromise them on an equita
ble basis. Bat compulsory payment will not
restore confidence in the disposition of the
people to pay their debts. Under the con
stitution the United States have ' a
right to sue each other. The only difficulty
that the bondholders will enoounter in en
forcing their claims is whether a State, act
ing as a trustee, still retains its sovereign
powers. But if this should be decided
against the bondholder* they can again en
cotnpas the repudiators by making over
their b wds absolutely to New York State, a
courso that will wholly obviate the diffi
culty.
If the Repablicin party of Mi nnesota is
prond of its position iv this regard , those
outside of its fold have no reason to com
plain. The unanimous sentiment of all
honest men, however, is that the course of
the party has been scandalous, dishonest,
and utterly devoid of every instinot of hon
or. The effrontery of a State with saoh a
record suggesting the nomination of one of
the chief of the repudiatora as a oandidate
for President of the United
States is marvelous. The bare
suggestion has caused ridicule wherever it
hay been heard. A party with such an in
famous record as the Republioan party pos
sesses and with a candidate from a State
with the stigma of inexcusable repudiation
clinging to it, would be buried beneath a
load of obloquy from whioh it oould never
reoover.
Sooner or later Minnesota must meet its
obligations. It would be far more honor
able, and oertainly cheaper, to compromise
with the bondholders on such terms as they
would at present accept, than to wait until
they can exact their own terms. In view of
the action of the New York legislature it will
be seen tbat the creditors of the State are in
no mood fjr much further dalliance, and
that if any compromise is to be made it
should be made at onoe. The Republican
party has yet an opportunity to relieve itself
from some of the odium that attaches to it,
though it can never escape tbe disgrace of
having deliberately conspired to defraud tbe
creditors of the State out of their just dues.

HERON LAKE FARMING
The Thompson-Kendall Farm— The Sno
cetaful Use of Pulverizers for Raisins;
Crops the First Season .
The Thompson-Kendall farm is situated
four to seven miles north of Heron Lake, in
Cotton wood county, near the Dcs Moines
river. The old breaking is this year, besides
oorn and root crops, divided as follows:
Wheat, 1,620 acres; oats, 410 acres; barley,
250 acres;. and flax, 1,071 acres, The mana
ger, Mr. J. J. Kendall, is this season running
nine three-horse breaking teams, with pul
verizers following eaoh plow, his
purpose being to continue extensively
the experiments which proved successful
last year of raising various
crops on the new breaking. Among other
trials of sod cropping he will, on late May
breaking, plant oorn, sugar cane, onions and
beans, and sow oats. Concerning sod crops
in that section and his experiments, Mr.
Kendall writes as fellows, nnder date of the
22d, to Mr. C. W. Slavton, of this city :
"Broken in the morning, sown in the
afternoon and the crop np in five days— is
the way we are treating the productive and
responsive sod of southwestern Minnesota
to day, with a hope, born of the experiences
of the past, that we shall reap a harvest suffi
cient to pay the entire cost of
tn« labor and money expended, the
Qrst cost of the land and a
handsome profit besides. The above aston
ishing results were accomplished during the
Dast season by partiec securing from six and
a half to thirteen bushels of flax per acre
from sod broken the same season. It seems
to be a fact as well established as wheat grow
ing that tbis sod can be utilized the first sea
son for a number of orops, with a certainty
of suooess, such as flax, oats, potatoes, In
dian corn and onions — the degrees of suooess
depending mainly npon the energy and tho
roughness of the planter.
"If the crop 3of this section of the State
mature as they promise now the only diffi
culty we will experience will be to find roll
ing stock sufficient to convey the grain out
of the oountry. The weather is everything
that oould be desired — interspersed by fre
quent showers, cool nights and pleasantly
warm days. All nature seems holding high
oarrival."
Tbe owners of this great farm have also
started in the stock business and have this
spring begun sheep raising with a flock of
four hundred sheep.

Ifoir it Works in Faribault.
To the Editor of the Globe.
This is an age of progression. The Globe
says Minnesota wants a progressive Democ
racy. It has lectured its readers until here
in this progressive city of Faribault the De
mocracy scored a complete victory at the
last election. It was hinted the other day
on the streets that two ladies, whose hus
bands rank high in our city government, had
much to do with tbe police and other ap
pointments. This mast have had some
thing to do with the appointment of so many
Irish. Six out of neven offices are filled
with Irish or those of Irish blood. No
doubt the effect of a certain vote in the
Minnesota Senate on tbe "personal liberty
bill" has been offset as far as Faribault
Catholics are concerned. The Irish are bp.p
py in stars aud offices, but tbe Germans who
fought nobly are left out in the cold. How
ever, some additional saloons have been
licensed, which, it is hoped, will solace the
Dutch for lack of office.
On the fiist of this month new licenses
were issued, and with them new instructions.
The chief of police gave verbal notice — his
writing is not very legible— to eion saloon
keeper not to sell liquor to three drunkards
who infest the city every now and then with
their presence. The German saloon-keepers
are not to sell on Sunday except to Germans,
who may enter carefully by the backdoor;
the Irish to none but Irish who know the
right door to knock at. I don't know the
Norwegian countersign, but there are a few
of the elect old tipplers, backdoor men, for
convenience, who can easily gain admittance
to Mike's at any time, or on any day. It is
not regarded out of the way to sell on Sun
day if done quietly, backdoor fashion. A
good prayer at church in the forenoon bal
ances the afternoon sales, and squares ac
counts with God, according to saloonkeepers'
acceptation of His law.
Ia it not glorious to think that with twen
ty saloons and three breweries there are only
three drunkards. Oae would think in a city
of 6,000, with Bach ample facilities, that over
three drunkards would be found ! There can
be no mistake. Our city fathers must know
wbose members comprise a saloon-keeper, a
bottled- beer pedlar, a druggist who sells
whisky for medicinal purposes, and another
who regularly attends at the evening paste
board prayer-meetings opposite the Barroti
house. Glorious timber for Democratio alder
men ! A council with half of its members
having such facilities of observation cannot
be mistaken. Have not the people of Fari
bault every reason to feel prond of Demo
cratio aacendeiiey. For the first time we can
comprehend the splendid results of Bishop
Ireland's efforts in the good cause. Twenty
saloons and three breweries, and only three
drunkards. These are hard figures to com
prehend. For myself I don't know what
constitutes a drunkard, but if the indelible
marks on tbe proboscis are a sign, I think
I could eoant several any day from the steps
of the First National bank.
It strikes me that a man's purse has some

State to Be Brought Up With a Round
Tarn— The Absurdity of the Minnesota
Republicans Presenting a Candidate for
President When He is a ßepudlatlonlst.
[ New York Times, May 22. 1
The following was signed by Gov. Cornell
on the 15th inst., and became a law as chap
ter 298 of the laws of 1880:
An Act to protect the rights of citizens of this
Hffite Owning and Holding Claims Against
Other States.
Section 1. Any citizen of this State, being
the owner and holder of any valid claims
against any of the United States of America,
arising upon a written obligation to pay
money, made, executed and delivered by such
State, which obligation shall be past due and
unpaid, may a«eign tbe same to the State of
New York, and deliver the assignments thereof
to the attorney general of the State. Such as
signments ehtll be in writing, and shall be
duly acknowledged before an officer authorized
in take acknowledgment of deeds, and the cer
tificate of such acknowledgment shall be duly
endorsed upon such assignment before the de
livery thereof . Every such assignment shall
contain a guarantee, on the part ot the aanign
■•r, to be approved by the attorney general, of
the expenses of the collection of snch claim,
and it shall be the duty of the attorney gen
eral, on receiving such assignmeut, to require,
on behalf of the assignee, such security for
said guarantee as he shall deem adequate.
Sec. 2. Upon the execution and delivery of
such assignment in the manner provided for in
section 1 of this act, and furnishing the secur
ity as in said section provided, and the delivery
of such claim to him, the attorney general
sli ill bring and prosecute such action or pro
ceeding, in the name of the State of New York,
as ahull be necessary for tbe recovery of the
money due on such cltim, and the said attor
ney general shall prosecute snch action or pro
ceeding to final judgment, and shall take such
proceedings after iudgment as may be necessary
to effectuate the same.
Sec. 3. The attorney general shall forthwith
deliver to the treasurer of the State, for the use
of Ruch assignor, all moneys collected upon
such claim, first deducting therefrom all expen
ses incurred by him in the collection thereof,
or his legal representatives, shall be paid said
money by said treasurer, npon producing the
check or draft therefor of the attorney general
to his or their order, and proof of his or their
identity.
Sec. 4. This act shall take effect imme
diately.
The law which is printed above passed the
present legislature without attracting the
slightest attention. It was not printed, nor
is it known to have been debated; but it is
sufficiently important to be worth no little
attention. Probably the cause of its quiet
passage through this legislature was because
the same bill was passed by the last, when
it was pretty thoroughly discussed; but Gov.
Robinson vetoed it, as might be expeoted.
Gov. Cornell signed the present law on the
15th inst. A thorough presentation was re
cently made in the columns of tbe Times
cf the movement of certain holders ot Ten
nessee repudiated bonds to enforce their
rights against that State. The law above
given looked like a part of the same move
ment; bat it seems is is not, though it has
their sympathy, and may, in time, have their
more active support. Mr. 0. Amory Stevens,
the chairman of the committee of
the Tennessee bondholders, explained that
their suit was quite a different thing. Their
bonds were a first lien on the railroads of
Tennessee, and they were trying to enforce
their rights by ordinary course of. law. He
was warmly in favor of trying the question
of the liability of a State, as might be done
under tbe new law, and he regarded its pas
sage as a part of the same general movement
in the cause of honesty. He was afraid,
however, that if judgment were obtained
under tbe law, it could not be collected : but
still, he was in favor of trying.
The actual promoter of the bill in the
legislature, and the man through whose per
severing efforts it was carried throagb last
year and with happier effect this year, is
Air. John B. Manning, broker, of Wall
street. Mr. Manning, in fact, ia said to
have done the thing single handed, and to
have paid oat of his own pocket all tbe
costs involved in the affair. He epoke
freely on the matter yesterday. He said
that the original bill was his,
and now, that it had become
■ law, they proposed to'test the rights of
citizens as against dishonesty in States. It
was a State under the shadow of the capi
tol; "we believe," continued Mr. Manning,
"that tbe State is well able to meet its
obligations if it were willing to do it. We
think that its repeated evasions, subterfuges,
and repudiations have been dictated, not
by poverty, bnt by pare dishonesty, and
we are going to try to pat a stop forever to
this whole business of State repudiation,
Virginia has repuniated her ante-bellum
debt, about which there never was the
shadow of a question of its perfect legality,
and of the State having received every cent
for which it gave its obligations. Then,
there is a large portion of
its debt which it assigned to West Vir
ginia, and we propose to see about that,
too." In answer to a question, Mr. Manning
said that they also proposed to take in every
State whioh had repudiated. foremost among
them being Minnesota. with a
black stain of repudiation npon her, had had
the impudence to present a claim for the
Presidential nomination. Indiana was an
other State which would be attended to. Mr.
Manning introduced the reporter to his as
aooiate, Mr. E. J. Hanks, who, he said,
could give more points on the law than he
could.
Mr. Hanks said that the law was a copy, or
nearly so, of one passed by the legislature of
New Hampshire in the sessions of 1878-9.
It was foond, on making tbe preliminary
movements for bringing suit tinder it on
reDudiated bonds, that the New Hampshire
lawyers, or the leading ones among them,
were in much doubt upon the matter. They
thought that the State wonld be likely to be
thrown out of oourt on the demurrer that a
trustee, as the State would be, could not
bring a auit. Certain holders of repudiated
bonds then presented them to the State ab
solutely, so that could bring suit as princi
pal, and that was the state of affairs now.
And, said Mr. Hanks, tbe decision of such a
suit as that will not settle the very question
which we want settled; that is wheth
er one State, as trustee, can sue an*
other. It is time that this business of a
State using its "sovereignty" for no other
purpose than dishonesty and the cheating of
its credit rs should be brought to the test.
The holders of repudiated bonds proposed to
carry the question to tbe end; to seek the
last means that law or (constitution gave
them to get justice. One of the difficulties
he feared would be in the way as the start
was to find an attorney general willing to
take the great responsibility of pushing what
might be in a political sense an unpopular
suit. He was ready to concede, however,
that the lawyer who should be successful in
getting a favorable decision on a case of such
vast importance would be placed thereby in
the front ranks of the profession, and
at<ve acquired a national fame. This
mi^ht be a strong stimulus to aa ambitious
m in. Granted, however, the suit was
brought, it would take two or three years to
get a decision on the demurrer whioh would
certpinly be pat in; and when in the end,
judgment was given for the plaintiff, the
collection of the judgment would be a very
serious matter, if the defaulting State was
determined in maintaining his dishonesty.
Bat still, very much good wonld come of
this. The suits of cheated bondholders,
through their own State against dishonest
States, could not fail to have a good effect,
and the probability was that a State against
which judgment had been given would find
it far more to its interest to pay its debts
honestly than to stand the worry wbich a
prolonged contest with the United States
would involve. Virginia would certainly be
proceeded against ; Georgia, wbose credit
was good to day in the market, had
bonds which it had repudiated on
perfectly frivolous pretexts. As
to Minnesota, it was a question in that case
whether the statute of limitations would
not bar the way; but at any rate they could
force the State to come into court, and eith
er plead the statute in face of the whole na
tion, or have judgment given against it. In
diana would also be brought into court.
When the first steps would be taken to com
mence suit Mr. Hanks was not prepared
to say, as the thing had not yet bean pat in
shape. Those in wbose behalf the State
brought the suit had to guarantee it against
all costs, so tfctt tbe State could lose noth
ing. Bondholders were scattered all over the
country, and steps might be taken to bring
about a general conference.
A well-known railroad lawyer said to the re
porter that the bill appeared to be designed to
enable any holder of obligations of any State
to proceed for their collection in the name
of the State of New York. Under it, said
he, there will be busine-s snough for half a
dozen attorney-generals, as it will inevitably
lead to making the State of New York a
general plaintiff in all the suits that may be
brought against defaulting States of the
Union. The lawyer thought there were no
constitutional objections against the bill, but
he believed the^e might be legal objections
of a good deal of force. By the terms of
the new law every State was affected that
had ever defaulted since it came into the
Union.
THAT ANONYMOUS i. KIT Fit.
Hill King on the Witneaa Stand-lie
Croaa-examlnes Donnelly.
1 Washington Post, May 25. j
The famous ex-Congressman Bill King,
of Minnesota, appeared before the Springer
letter committee yesterday. Being sworn,
he said:
"I live at Minneapolis, Minn. I was here
considerably of the time during February
last, and was here nntil the evening of tbe
4th of March. I left here at 9:45 o'clock."
[The anonymous letter bears date March
4th.] "I had no connection with the con
tested election case. I retusned to Wash
ington about the 25th of Maroh. I was not
here between the 4th and Bth of March. I
left here about tbe Ist of April for my
home." [It was en April Ist tbe final vote
was taken in the committee of elections on
the Donnelly- Waahburn case.] "I have no
knowledge of who wrote that letter or caused
it to be sent. I first heard of it through the
public press. I have no idea whatever of
who wrote the anonymous letter. I never
saw that handwriting before. Mr.
Donnelly and myself are not friendly. Mr.
Finley and myself are friendly. In our con
versations it was understood that I was for
Waahburn and Finley for Donnelly. I said
to Mr. Washburn that Finley said that he
would lose his seat unless be spent lots of
money. Washburn replied that he would
not spend one cent to keep his seat. I told
Finley that if Washburn was turned out all
the sawmills at the Falls would be put into
the canvass to return him to Congress. When
I left Washington on Maroh 4th, I understood
that Mr. Springer was thoroughly against
Mr. Washburn. I may have said that Wash
burn would spend any amount of money to
be returned to Congress; that he would come
back cost what it might."
Mr. King was here asked what difference
there was, in point of morals, between spend
ing money to be returned after being turned
out, and spending money to keep hims?lf
from being out. He repliei that not being
a moral philosopher he could not answer
that question.
"I was registered at Willard's hotel on one
ocoasion, but whether I was registered on
other occasions I can't say. As a rule I do
not register when Igo to hotels. I made
suoh abominable work on one occasion in
registering that I was ashamed of my signa
ture."
Mr. King then expressed a desire to orobS
examine Mr. Donnelly. Mr. Donnelly took
the stand. Mr. King asked why Mr/ Don
nelly told Mrs. Springer that that letter came
from a friend of Washburn. Mr. Donnelly
replied because it was on the 3d of March
that Washburn saw for the first time the re
port of the sub-committee, reciting tbe proof
that be had bribed over 300 voters, and in
timidated thousands more, and that on the
4th of Maroh, when the annonymous letter
was written, he and his friends
were in a desperate state of
mind, and ready to venture on
anything to save Washbnrn. That the
anonymous letter was a "feeler." If Spring
er was dishonast he would bite at it; if he
was not he would rise and expose it in the
Honse, and Washburn's friends jwould then
deny that it came from them. Mr. King
asked what motive be would have had to
sand suoh a letter to Springer, if he, King,
believed Springer to be an honest man. Mr.
Donnelly replied that he did not know what
King believed upon that question. It did
not follow that if an improper proposal was
made to a member of Congress that the
party making it must know positively that
the member was dishonest. Mr. King ex
pressed a desire to cross-examine George T.
Jones, the expert. This will probably be
granted to-day.
Mr. McLennan, the expert who was called
last week, and then testifiied that in his
opinion Mr. Finley might have written the
anonymous letter, was recalled and examined
at length as to the similarities between some
of the letters in Finley 'a writing and the let
ters in the anonymous letter.
It has been decided by the committee to
send the letter, or its fac simile, to two ex
perts — one in Boston and one in New York
— who have so far had nothing to do with
the case. Their decision will be awaited with
interest. It is probable that the investiga
tion will ciose in four or five days. So great
is the doubt in the committee as to the au
thorship of the mysterious letter that it i
probable that two or three reports will b■>
made upon the su jeot. Mr. Carlisle, th
chairman, is understood to take the ground
that neither King nor Finley wrote the
letter.

politan theatre haa been reorganized under
the name of the Minneapolis Zouave band.
They have been uniformed and will appear
with tbe Zouaves on all public occa*aion3.
This gives the Zuuaves all the music they
want. With a brass band of fifteen pieces,
and a druaa and fife corps of eighteen pieces
tbe boys will make things lively. Look out
for them on Decoration Day.

David Davis comes tramping into the
Presidential ring with ponderous tread, bnt
he is too late. His carefully prepared plat
form is an excellent contribution to the sub
lime political literature of tVie day; but it
won't make a delegate to the Cincinnati con
vention or bring him within sight of a nomi
nation. He bad one opportunity in his lif»
to make himself great and to command the
homage of the oountry; but be was unequal
to it and it will never come agaiu. When bo
declined to serve on the electoral commis
sion and handed the solemn verdict of the
nation over to a partisan arbitration, be left
hope behind him ia the political Held. Bat
ours is a free country, and it is one of tbe
inalienable rights of all men arid womec to air
their views on the political issues of tbe
day, and to seek nominations whenever and
wherever it units their inclinings; and
Senator David Davis has done it. He comes
in late and bids bigb; but he is just aw
likely to be crushed by an iceberg in the Poto
mac on tbe 22d of June as to be nominated
for President at Cincinnati.
Hostile Sioux NVgrniitiliic for Surrender.
Ft. Bdford, Mont., May — A special
says the red skins, now at Poplar Creek
agency, have repeatedly sent word to Gen.
Hazen desiring to surrender, and three coun
cils have been held with these hostile Sioux.
They are very hungry, but fear treachery,
and dread being put in irons, preferring
even death by starvation. Sitting Bull, him
self, has sent Hazen a special envoy, but
Hazen told him the terms of surrender were
the same as heretofore expressed.
