The thrifty, industrious faroier of
Hotithurn Dakota arn dirie4 tho choice
of their own Governor and the protection
whirh a stato t'ovfcrnmeut would afford
theca solely l-emiu of the crimo of beiiitf

Ir m)ka at thi diatanco as if tho tirt
r?njou wlioeio Biijiort it in ueccusary for
the managers of l'rttjident Arthur's Sena
torial lxx)in to fcecuro in that of Mr.
Arthur himself. According to all rejjort.s
ho has re;eatedly asserted that ho would
not enter into a Heramblo for the place,
but it L aa plain as the noso on a man's
face that there is tfoin to Ik or rather
that there is already, a scramble.
At the New Orleans exhibition itolitics
and lal)or piestions have loth cropped
out. So vend members of New York
trades afembiies, visiting the exposition,
were indignant to thul, on exhibition,
necimens of work ior formed at the Texas
jKnitentiary. They improved the oppor
tunity by reading the South and the
Democrats a lesson on the evil of bring
ing servile labor into competition with
freo toil. The Tribune's New Orleans
special reports them as threaten
ing to call, through the lips of Cox,
the attention of Congress to the appear
ance of the fruits of convict labor in an
ex iioeition aided by national funds. They
Hwjm confident, also, of their ability to
create in the Sonthern States a commo
tion over the use of prison labor; and
they give a lively account of the methods,
already somewhat familiar, pursued in
order to keep the prison shops full. One
btory is that a colored mim was con
demned to a life imprisonment for pur
loining a ham and some chickens.
The evidence that Gov. lJegolo's action
in pardoning VanWagener was an out
rage on the pooplo among whom the.
villain is to bo set loose, grows as circum
btances bocomo better known. The btory
which tho prisoner told a reporter is
without doubt a web of fabrications, and
has alre.idy called forth an emphatic de
nial from ex-Governor Jerome of tho
statement that ho ever promised to par
don VanWagenor. Tho ex-Governor
adds: 'His release from prison is an
outrage, in my judgment. It simply
turns him out to join a band of robbers
and murderers to whicn ho formerly le
longod." Ieforo committing hi3 dastardly
crime, VanWagener lived at Muskegon.
The AVifMof that place, which has always
Kuprorted Gov. Iiogole, says: "Ionia
people criticise severely Van Wagoner's
pardon 'by Gov. Begolo. So does nearly
every ouo who knows fully tho circum
btances of tho case, and who has any re
gard for justice." 'Die Chicago Tribune
pays of Gov. IVgole: "Ho has most
shamefully used tho pardoning power
sinco ho held tho oflice of Governor. All
his sympathies seem to ran out toward
tho criminal classes. Law-abiding peo
ple he appears to hold in contempt"
These expressions are only a sample of
many of like character. Gov. 15egolo's
action is not merely an outrage on tho
people of Michigan, but it is a disgrace
to tho State iu the eyes of other states.
. .
THE NICARAGUA TREATY.
On account of tho importance of the
proposed treaty with Nicaragua, and the
fact that so few j arsons appear to com
prehend its character, it may bo well to
state brietly its terms and condition?.
Tho treaty provides for the building of an
iiitrr-ocvonic ship-canal across tho isth
mus of Nicaragua by tho United States,
to bo owned by them and the Republic of
Nicaragua. Tho United States aro to
have full liberty in locating and con
structing the canal, while Nicaragua gives
free right of w;iy to the canal and all
spaces necessary to its construction, to
gether with the right of way for a
railroad and telegraph lines from one
terminal of tho canal to the other. Nicar
enrngua promises to appropriate any
private property required, for which the
United State are to pay tho value
tixed by a commission selected by the
t'.vo nations. A strip of territory two and
a-half Knglish miles ia width, tho middle
of whicU shall coincide with the middle
of t!i canal, shall be vt aside and oft nod
by the contracting parties, jointly. Over
thu Nioarncia shall have civil jurisdic
tion. No customs or toll shall be levied
except by th two nations jointly, but
Nicaragua shall provide a po'Hc system.
The United States agree to furnish money
to build the canal anil its accessories.
The management of the canal shall lo
vitd in a board of six managers, tliree
sppointel by tlie President cf the United
States, and confirmed by th" Senate, nn I
tlirre by tho Kepr.blic cf Nicaragua.
All the pnwod shall applied, first to
th maintenance of the canal, and then of
the Valance or.Mhird shall lx paid to
Nicaragaa and two-third to the United
if tatm. Tl: Cr-itvd States disavow anv
Nicaragua, and cc to bejin Cn xreri
within two years, and to colct5 it
within ten year from the time vt btia

CURRENT COMMENT.
Kudmls City Journal: The fit John
convention in Kansas was a very in
significant body. It represented lcs
than 5,W)0 votes.
Philadelphia Vrsj: Carl Schuix saya
he wants nothing, and that's jnst what
the new firm had wnclndtxl to give him,
Happy conscience; very.
IhitTalo Telsfjmih: CriminAl Chicago
now rejoices in a liighwaywoman." W
caniMit U too thankfid that the reportsr
did not write her up a "highwaylady." .
Philadelphia Press: CoL Wattereon
and his tar-eyed goddess of reform are to
dance with IJenjy Butler and Belva Ann
Lockwooii in the first qnadrillo at the in
auguration ball.
Chicago Inter Ocean: If Dakota had
a saloiHi on every hill top instead of a
school house, and voted the straight
Democratic ticket, she would come in
with a bounce and a yell.
Chicago Evening Journal: The past
year has been full of events to 6how that
this countrv wants an extradition treaty
with Canada that will return criminals
rather than protect them.
Cliicago Inter Ocean: When Cleve
land gets to Washington he will likely
ordqr Colonel Vilas, of Wisconsin, shin-
jcd to him by tho most direct route. And
it wm not oe a oau oruer, eitner.
Ihiilalo Express: Enough fusa.has
been made over tho confirmation of Sec
retary McCulloch to warrant the suspic
ion that that personage was being sad
died upon tho treasury for life, instead of
stopping a gap till the preeent adminis
tration dies.
Burlington Hawkeye: When G rover
Cleveland is installed in the Presidential
ollico on tho 4 th of next March, he should
take an oath in form and substance like
this: T do solemnly swear that I will
support the Constitution of the United
States and Maria Halpin."
Indianapolis Journal: It is said that
the 6Ugar-grovera are greatly wrought
up over tho possibility of the ratification
of the Spanish treaty. Why so? The
sugar-growing States returned majorities
for the party that favors "progressive
free trade." Why not free trade in su
gar?
Dotroit Free Press: It is possible, of
course, that searching examination may
discloso serious objections to the pro
posed San Uomingo treaty, it is pos
sible, also, that it may fall even without
serious objections lecause of tho objeo-
tionablo company in which it is fomid.
But on its face it is an instrument to be
commended.
