The cordial greeting of New Yeara morning
-pring* from a philooophy as deep as tha o

humanity always welcomos another chanoe.
Kvor oonerions of past failure* and m stokes.
which have tingod mcniories of the old year
with eadneae, humanity makes new resolutions
and looks gladly forward to ? year p?optod

no man would aee* what betoBga to his neigh

either partj would aet his facc agaiaat every

than for tho welfare of the whole eommuBity.
It is a day foi joy. moreover, if we rcckoii
Hoberiy end carefullj the progrea which man
is already making toward bettei thiaga. ln ail
its ignoranoe and its mistakt-s humanity poahe*
forward toward ? clearei rompreheBtdoii f?l
nian's duty to his brotber man. It is often aaid
that the noai prevailini and potCBl teadenry

of a siifiden cbange of Natioaal policy, becauae

ihe i;ij.cnux bill
ln aaother column we print an iaterriew
with Colonel Clarkooa, of tho Republican Na
lioaal Committee, containing aome euggeationa
with regard to tho Electioaa bill and its fate
that \\e eapocially commead to the consideia
tion nf tlidse Republican Seaatoni who shaie
the views expreaaed by Mr. \Vok?tt <?n Tuea>
day. Colonel Clarluon belierea in the righl
for thc right'a sako, and hc- belierea in the Ro
pnblican partrj as thc ^ioat engine of good
prinoiplea and wise polideo. He regBrda the
aituation ia the Seaate from both theae p^ints
of view, ooateadiag that if Kepuhlican Scn
atora fail to paai this measure, u> which their
party ha> been pledged in live successive Ntv
tional platformo, which wa> the foiemost pioin
iae ol thc platfom that carried the party into
power in l*r>s, and which now, for the lu>t
iiiuc linee 1^71. the party is enahled to pa-s, ?
swift and sure piiHishineiit awaita Kepuhlican
interests in 1892. I'nder thc Force bill and
tho ceattalixed ayatema of the Southern Statea
the ooaored man may there he enriajalfllllj held
in political bonda^e, but Mr. Clarkooa reminds
us that hc votes in the free North and that his
vot? is eounted, and that in New-Vork, Ohio,
llliiiois, Ma.s-achusetts aud Jowa, and he mijjht
havo ineloded Indiana too, it hoJtta the balance
of power.
No reaaoaable man who baJierea in the mo
ralitj and jii-iuevs of tbo Ameiican Bajojkla can
diHiht the truih of Mr. Claiksons prophecy that
within RtrOyeara, if this bill passes. the South?
ern whites will be among its uarmest support
ers and champions. For it aims at nothinjj
ezcaypl the triumph of deinocnuy and the reign
of order, and a,s the SoiHhern people to-day
acknowledgc that slavery wtw a cursc, that the
Kebellion was a terrihle misUke. and that they

of th.- aeven men namod as chief BBriatanta
lour Mr. Stapler, Mr. Davia, Mr. Weiiman
and Mi. Weeka, are certainly peraona of gen
uino abiliiv and excellenl reputation. Peitapa
tho sai?o should be aaid of Mr. 6emple, bul he
did himaelf no crcdil by his aerrile attendance
upon Colonel Fello-ara, and after Bve yeara of
aervice il mighl nol lo be a nueation, aa it k
whether the oftlce would not be aa well on
without him as with him. Mr. Davis has been
an active and nscfnl a-i-tant upon tho stafTs
of both Mr. Martine and Mr. Fellows, and
has carned his reappointment. Mr. Wellman,
during a long aervice in the offioe of the Cor
poration Counsel, baa made an cxcellent reputa
si,,,, as a man and ;ls a lauver, and has heen
remarkably auccewful in defending iho tity
in inanv troubleaome and difticulr casrs. Mr.
Stapler has not hold public offico, bui as ?
citi/en ho has talcci. an active interost in af
rajra, and in all mattera inrolving public mo
raliiy he ha-s aiwumed the right side. He ia
hnown a> a nood lawjer and an bonorable man.
(ii Mr. Sima our information ia meagre, bul
that fact, when it oorfcerna g man appointed to
office undei Tammany Hall. nia> be taken to
his credjt. Judge Bedford'a appointment may
he looked at in two waya. He lia.s been in the
office for a Beriea of ycam, and haa performed
its ordioarja routine work more. or leaa well.
Ho is the revcrae of wealthy, and no longer
young. Recalling ihe arandala Ihrown into the
late rampaigfl by the open clainu of the liquor
dealcra that they had seciiied from Mr. Nicoll
th,- pledge of Judge Bedford'a appointment as
the piico of their aupport, it may he alleged
that proof of such a contrad has been affordod.
liut we are oo! going to believe Mr. Nicoll
capable of such bchavior until we are compelled
to. Ii would have been haid luck. undoubted
ly, from Mr. Bedford'a point of view, had h<;
been thrown oul at his time of Kfe and after
his long t-'im of aervice, and we ahall aaaume
thal this coBaideration prevailed to hold him.
and tliat ho will eain as miich of his salar.v
hcreafter as he ever did. Nor are we iinmind
ful of the claim advanced by hi- friends. to the
truth of which Mr. Nicoll himaelf delighta in
toatifying, that in certain caaes, calling for tact
and diacretion, the Judge is "without ? peer."
It is foi what Mr. Nicoll has not dono. a>
well aa for what he has, that he is to be com
roended. In concluding to (,'et aionp without
Mr. Parker, by whoae wretthod blunder in the
Jacfcaon caae juatice was ahamefulry robbed, he
aooepted good advice and relieved the office of
a large amoun! of inefBctenry. N'one of thc
distinctly had candidates who awarmed about
him and whosc " claims," wc may ho snre, wero
ardently backed by the bosses, unleoa Mr. 15f"l
ford ia to he claaaed with theae, haa t-'ot in, and
when tho uei^ht of this preaaure ia eatimated
Mr. Nicoll is to be comniended for regjating it.
lf hia staff is not a inodel one, it is, at least, a
Burpriaingly S'a?d catrh fron the muddy waters
in which hc was oonpellod to tish.

At the lasl aeaafon of Congreaa, as many of

During tho aamo period the United State* hw
Sndored hcr aome naai-tance but not, .uchin
oomnariaou with what haa been done for the
Mi?tis?PPi. tho MiHHOuri and the Obio.
A year ago Senator Georgo B. Sloan, one of
the inoat ^agaciou, of tho pabho men of b?
State. proparcd a paper deeigned to stimti late
Congrw to deal genero.udy with the Hudaon.
ln thto paper the ..ggeaHv. fact **?*?**
oot that in Hve year* dating froir,.1878 he
United State. opent over BlrJMM*
Mk-Mppi anl ncarly Bil.OOO.OOO ..a the MI.
iiouri and tho Ohio. but only ?14a.l>00 on tho
llndaon. Thc Sonator cculd aee no good rea-on
-and we take it that thuse attending the hear
ing next weelc will agrco with him-way ?o
nwr-h .honld be done to these tbrt* rivera of
tbe West wh.lo tho rivcr of thc baa* which
transrcndu them all in commercial iirrportanrc
should obtaia mercly a pittance. Tho gain to
commerco rcsulting from making thc Hudenn
navtgable for occan vcssols from this city to
Alhanv ant Troy would he incnlculable. Tho
albaay Chaaabtr of Commerco argnes that if
ocean vessels could he brought into direct com
munication with shipmonts at that poiat which
have comc over thc Kric Canal there would not
only be a v?rv decidpd saving in time. but a
sav'ing of hundreds of dollar* on OBch OkVfO m
the item of towing.
The fact that. the proposition to extend Fcd
eral aid to the canals has never been popular
in this State may possihl.v interfcie with this
other proposition to extend Federal aid to the
Hud.-on. Itut the two proposition.* should not
l,o confounded. Thero is ? distinction with a
dilforencc between the Kvie Canal, one of the
Stato's great pnblifl works, and tho great river
which runs through her domains. At all eveato,
as- we iindersfand it, there is no intention on
tho part of thosc who desire to see the naviga
tion of the Hudaon Improred by the United
St.ilos to gn furthor than that. Indeed, somo
of them have alroady gone on record at canal
conventions as boing opposed to allowing the
Federal (Jovernment to help New-York tako
care of the canals of New-York. Next weok'J
hearing mny.-well command the attention of
all who arrintereated in maintaining and ad
vaaciag the property of our great Oommon
wealth. The metropolta ought to hc well repre

Fortunately the police ftation Of the mr.th Pre

and reaeh Tbe bnalaea*) cenlre sutac time tbe ne\t

baato.
The race wbicb followed n-as eveitinir in the
cxtreme. The police manaced to kecp witliin
about a mile of the rohbers, but could not ovcr
take them. Indeed, in the Ki^hty-flrst Ward
they lost ground and fell two miles bchind. It
waa thonght here that tlie robliers were poin?r to
take to thc Bad Lands, but they were frijfhtened
away by B baad of Flambeau Indians who were
holdlng a ghoat dancc there. Crossing the Keya
Paba I'iver they dlaappeared amoiiR the Froten
Man Hills of thc Seventy-eifhth Ward. Their
trail was readily followed, however, and aftpr a
frw mili-s of liard riding. in which a nuir.ber of
lettcr-boxes fastcned to stones and trees were
poaaed, the police moiinted I.one Butte and saw
iticia making away toward Lewis and Clarlce
Lake. Futtinj? spurs to their horacs they auo

Raaehea were gratlually raeeocBlag more aoinorona,
and it. araa seen that they woul.l be cuptured soon.
?lust as they were entcring thc BtXtg^oecond Ward
and near the new Ccntral Park they scared up a
floek of antelope which 1'riRhtened tJieir hor-cs so
that they hhicl and ovcrturned the wagon. Thc
police eane up alniost iiiimcdintcly and aeized and
baadeaffed the robliers. They were taken to the
police hcadi|uarlers, where they arrived thc next
day.
As to who the robliers were, the two St. Lotiis
papcrs from whieh we have drawn the facta of
our narrative dirfer, one holding that they were
r.icmbors of thc latc Jesse James's gang, the other
that, they were associates of the ulso late Rube
Burrowa. We can only await the arrival of other
St. Louis papcrs to settlc this point. In any
event, the incident gives an intere^ting" glimpse
of life on Chicago's frontier.
