There must be. some reason underlying their opposition to a manifestly fair test of excellence.

It is probable that the president will act favorably upon .the recommenda tions of Commissioner Blount, who re cently visited Hawaii to Investigate the condition of affairs there, and that the deposed queen will be restored to the throne.

He is undertaking a Herculean tasK, for the church is if possible, more aristocratic than the aristocracy itself The clergy, from the humblest curate to the archbishop of Canterbury, are but the creatures of the nobility. Their livings depend upon the favor of the lords, and as a consequence they are the most obsequious followers o the patty opposed to progress and in dividual liberty. Mr. Mann is beginning at the wrong end of the problem. The church will not be reformed by any such methods as he proposes. THINGS seem to be shaping them selves at Washington In such a man ner as to conform to the views of the president. It is well known that he was; opposed to the consideration of the federal election bill until after the sil ver repeal bill were disposed of, and the introduction of Mr. Tucker's bill In the house was contrary to his ideas of pol icy. Two weeks' discussion has brought a majority of the members of the house to a realization of the tact that trie pres ident was right. The interest in the Tucker bill has been steadily flagging, and at the present time there are not a dozen members who pay any heed to the -proceedings in connection with it. The true policy in legislation, as in af fairs of business, is to do one thing at a time. . PK'fiACHER POMTICIAXS. The propriety of a minister of the cos pel taking an active part in political af fairs has lout: been mooted, and much discussion has taken place upon the subject. It has been held that the mis sion of the clergy is to rectify that which is wrong, no matter where they may find it; and, as many of the evils of the present generation have tlieir fount ain head in pernicious political sys tems, it is the duty of the clergy to en deavor to reform those systems. As the most effective method of combatting an evil is often to go in its midst, so the clerey have held that the best plan for reforming politics is to enter the arena of political strife and there carry on the war of reformation. But there seems to be room for hon estdifferences of opinion on this point. It is held by many— and certainly not without good reason— that there is greater dancer of the ministry becom ing corrupted by association with polit ical affairs than hope for the elevation of the politicians and political methods. No man can handle lire without being burned, nor can any one breathe the atmosphere of political corruption and escape contamination. We have had many preacher politicians of late years — men who have laid aside their sancti fied robes to wallow in the pool of par tisan strife— and with scarcely an ex ception they have beeu swept from their moorings and carried away upon the current towards the ocean beneath whose waves thousands of reputations have been buried. For a time they may have struggled to resist the tendency, but resistance has been in vain. And the fate of these political clerics has been a deplorable one. Unused to in trigue, placing reliance upon the prom ises of politicians, believing in the righteousness of party purposes, they have become pitiable dupes and com plaisant tools in the carrying out of policies repugnant alike to Christian precepts and moral obligations. They have been as sheep among a pack of wolves— frail barks upon the bosom of a raging torrent. If the simile may be pardoned, they went a-woolgatheriug and came back shorn— if, indeed, they came back at all. The matter of clergymen oecoming candidates for political office came up at the Methodist conference recently held at Mason City, 10. A good brother, referring to the acceptance of a political nomination by a clergyman, called at tention to two questions which, on his ordination, he had answered in the affirmative. These were: "Are you resolved to devote yourself wholly to God and his work?" "Are you deter mined to employ all your time in the work of God?" "Every Methodist un derstands that this means," said the speaker, "that a preacher shall be noth ing else but a preacher in the ivitive work of tiie ministry so long as he is in good health. The reverend doctor is not in keeping with his word in making the canvass for governor. His vows ought to have kept him from accepting the nomination. I cannot vote for a man who violates the most sacred word a man can give. 1 cannot vote for an ecclesiastic for any civil office. It is against the genius of our institutions." This is a phase of the question that affects the church polity. It will be seen that, in addition to the impropriety of forsaking the pulpit for the stump, a clergyman violates a most solemn vow, and in doing so places trie stamp of insincerity upon his own brow. The evil has been a grave one in tho past, but fortunately it is not a growing one. The ill success of the preacher poiiticians since the rancor engendered by the War of the Rebellion has passed away has beeu sufficient to discourage ventures of the sort. As a rule, clergy men are poor politicians and indifferent officeholders. Their race is soon mo, and they re compelled to seek other lielcis of usefulness. Few return to the ministry, for the associations of the caucus and the convention have unfitted them for the sacred office. Having vio lated their vows and failed of their am bitions in politics, they seek lowlier sta tions, and end their days regretting the false step that precipitated them from a station of influence and honor into the ranks of the multitude of disappointed seekers for political preferment. IHK INDIANS HAVE RIGHTS. The warning contained in the mes sage of Gov. Jones to the council of the Cherokee, nation is one which those In dians would do well to heed. He calls attention to recent events connected with the opening of the Cherokee strip to white settlement, and deplores the greed of the white man for Indian lands and urges his people to stand firmly by what they have, for when this country has gone there is no other for them. It is therefore important to hand it down to posterity. The story of wrong perpetrated by tiie white man upon the Indian is an old one. well worn and threadbare, but nevertheless true and pitiable. Step by step the red men have been driven from theii homes by the resistless flood of white immigration from the East. Now an almost equal flow is encroaching upon them from the Pacific, and the day seems to be not far distant when the* Indian shall be ground to powder between the upper and nether mill stones of civilization. No sooner does a tribe obtain a foothold upon a reserva tion than the white men covet it. En croachment has been met by resistance, and the strife thus occasioned lias fre quently resulted in bloodshed. Punish ment has seldom been meted out to the aggressors. The Indian has invariably been ordered to "move on" — to quit the home he has reared, abandon the scenes made dear to him by association, surrender whatever he has accumulated of this world's goods, and give place to his Caucasian persecutors. It is not matter for surprise that the ■ Indian race is decreasing at a rate that threatens Us speedy extermination. Like all savage peoples, they readily con tract the vices of the dominant people, but seldom their virtues. Disease finds | in them ready victims, for dissipation i and want have prepared the <vay. Nat urally improvident, they are seldom prepared for a hard winter, and the scanty allowances of the government afford them but a meager subsistence They are unfitted by nature for indus trial pursuits; they lack the education necessary to enable thdm to compete with the whites. Their total extinction is merely a matter of time, and it is prob aole that people now living will see the day when an American Indian will be as great a curiosity as a genuine Aztec is at present. There are at present less than a quar ter of a million Indians in the United States, a decrease within twenty years of more than 'Si per cent. Seventy-five thousand of the number are sequestered la the Indian Territory, which was, a IBE FAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SATURDAY MORiNTINTG, OCTOBER 7, 1833. few years ago, set apart for their ex clusive and perpetual occupancy. Three tunes this reservation has been invaded by the whites, ami a section of it confis cated, and today there is but a limited territory left for the occupancy of the rive civilized tribes Who inhabit it. How long they will be permitted to retain this slight foothold upon earth time alone can tell. Probably ere many years another demand will be made upon the government for the opening of the region to white settlement, and then the Indians will be homeless, as they have long been friendless. It is a crying shame than these out rages should be permitted. It is a dis grace to our boasted civilization that the idea should prevail that an Indian has no rights which a Caucasian is bound to resDect. Because the tribes are weak and defenseless we prey upon their property. The common instincts of humanity should dictate that they be protected instead. The government has long been remiss in its duty to these wards of the nation. How long will it continue to be so? SOME SU.VKH "UK A SON ING. ■ There is a bare possi bility that there are a few readers of the Globe who, notwithstanding its counsels and its arguments, are still impressed with the conclusions which Senator Stewart and hose of his kidney have reached as to the necessity of the government per mitting them to take 57 cents' worth of their bullion to its mints and get it coined into wnat all of us will have to take for 100 cents. We confess to an inability to conceive the proper course by which we may reach the intelli gences of such persons or, what amounts to the same thing, what they conceive to be their intelligence. If no other way is open than that by which common rumor says a joke is to be got into a Scotchman's head- by a surgical opera tion—we give up the job in advance. But, discouraging as the attempt ap pears, we feel like hazarding the effort. We propose to give these people, al ways assuming that there are such, a specimen ot the reasoning of their sil ver-tongued and silver-pated chief on a topic which is familiarized to them by their every-day experience. The sena tor from the pocket borough was be rating the president for some casual re marks made by him at the commemora tion of the laying of the corner stones, in which the senator found a coat that fitted him nicely, and. at the point to which we direct attention, was im peaching him because his secretary of the treasury had not bought the four and a half million ounces of silver re quired by the Sherman act. The secre tary had offered in extenuation that he could not get the silver at the market price. Now the words "market price" have the same effect on the senator and his kind that shaking a red flag in the face of a bull has on that animal. "What is market price?" snorted the senator. "Everybody knows what mar ket price is. It is the price at which an article is offered." As if he needed fortifying, which he certainly did, he quoted the definition given in the Cent ury dictionary: "The sum or amount of money, or its equivalent, which the seller asks or obtains for his goods in the market." That seems plain enough. It is not what a man asks for his arti cle that makes its price, but what he asks, "or obtains." The market price is the agreement between seller and buyer as to what the thing is worth. But with a fine contempt for the very authority he had called in to support him, the senator followed his quotation with the remark: "That for which the seller offers his goods in the market is the price." The words "or obtains" failed to get into the senator's think tank at all. Having defined market price as the price at which the seller offers . his goods, it was easy to prove from the tabies that the secretary was very lame in his defense. But the figures also show that the senator's "market price" is a very uncertain thing, too. For illustra tion, on Aug. 4 there were six sellers offering the secretary their bullion. They wanted respectively .72, .725, .73 and .731 an ounce. The secretary ac cepted the offers at .72 and declined the others. According to the senators idea of a market price, the secretary should have taken all offered at the prices asked. According to the secretary's idea, the market price that day was the lowest offer, and the price he and the seller would agree on. But the point we wish to make with our misguided readers, if there are any such, is that a man who reasons so ab surdly, as they can easily see, on so sim ple a matter as market price, may well be suspected of reasoning with equal or greater absurdity on all other questions, including that of the free coinage of sil ver, its relation to prices, atri so on.

The specialties are said to be good, and the entire production a most excellent one of its particular class. Ideals at the Imperial. "The Bohemian Girl" is popular for the simple reason that it probably has more catchy and pleasing airs than has that of any opera before the people to day. The Ideal Opera company has been doing this production or Balfe's at the Imperial theater the latter half of the week to very fair houses. Las even iug their performance was very clever, and the leading parts were well taken and sustained. Harry Davies probably shows to a better advantage than the other leading characters, for the music in the lines of Thaddeus seems admi rably adapted to his voice. Between the secoud and third acts the McCoy sisters' mandolin orchestra ren dered two very pieasing selections in an admirable manner, which seemed to take hugely with the audience, and. judging from the encore, they wauted another selection or two. "The Mikado" will be the bill for the week of Oct. 8. WITH THE TRAVELERS. Thomas Couch, of Great Falls, Mont., one of the heaviest miners aud ranchers of that state, is a guest of the Ryan, en route to the world's fair with his son. Thomas Couch Jr. Mr. Couch is the superintendent of the Boston and Mon taua Consolidated Copper aud Silver Mining company, which has forty pro lific copper mines at Butte. The smelters of the company are at Great Falls. "No, sir, copper mining has not yet suffered materially from the movement against silver," said Mr. Couch last evening in reply to.-a query. "We are now employing from 500 to GOO men at our smelters and nearly 700 men at the mines, and pushing our work hard as ever in the existence of the company. Copper has. of course, suffered to some extent, like all business over the coun try, from the stringent time?: but there is still enough profit in our product to keep us a-going. "What, have I to say on the silver question? Nothing; I prefer to make no remarks on the subject, 1 will say though that more interest is taken in gold mining and prospecting than for years, and, perhaps, ever in the history of the region." Mr. Couch also has a large cattle rauch, also a large horss ranch near Great Falls. He says the horse busi ness is not so profitable as it was before the cities began using electricity for power. However, it still pays to raise horses. F. C. Cruger, of Anaconda, Mont., secretary and treasurer of the Butte. Anaconda Ac Pacific railroad, is a guest of the Windsor. Mr. Crnger s'iys that his road is not completed, but that work is progressing rapidly upon it. ■*t+- J. 11. Murphy, a prominent miner of Helena, and member of the legislature, and George B. Childs, cashier of the Second National Bank of Helena, stopped at the Ryan last night, and let! this morning for" the world's fair. The Second National and the Helena Na tional banks hays just been consoli dated, was the information given by Mr. Childs. Mr. Murphy is a Democrat.and Mr. Childs is a Republican, but bjth agreed in the assertion that three-quar ters of the people of Montana are in favor of having an extra session of the legislature to elect a United States senator, and that the people care little whether the man eiected is a Democrat or Republican, -so that he is a free silver man. Mr. Childs is the secretary of the Montana club, and Mr. Murphy is also a member. As members of this club they were guests of the Minnesota club yesterday afternoon. Both men say that the movementagainst silver has been a great stimulus to gold mining and hunting in their state. Mr. Murphy says he is engaged in shipping great quantities of ore from his mine, and that his shipments yield from 10 to 50 per cent of gold, the rest being silver and copper. He says that many of the abandoned gold properties about Hel ena are yielding profitably under their revival. Smith F. Turner, of Washington, agent of the fast mail service, is a tthe Ryan. He is engaged in looking over the service in Minnesota and Wisconsin. He says that he finds the service run ning very smoothly. At the Ryan— J. H. Varpfay, George W. Child, Helena; J.

WILL IT GO ON FOREVER? SOUTHERN SENATORS TALK AWAY - A OTHER DAY IN OPPOSITION \" f TO REPEAL. Blackburn Offers an Amendment 111 i Which Provides lor Free Coin :'" J age and Makes an Attempt to "'Maintain the Parity of Gold "•'"and Silver— Butler Favors the VJ< Repeal of the State Bank Tax. Washington, Oct. 6.— ln the senate : tbdny Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, submitted an amendment to the bill re pealing the silver-purchasing clauses of the : act of 1800. It strikes out the Voorhees substitute, leaving the bin ns ! it passed the house, and then provides for the free coinage of silver of Ameri can production. The scretary of the treasury is authorized on the first day of each month to establish the seignor age to be charged to the following mouth, which is to be the difference between the market price of silver bullion and the minted value after coinage. This seignorage is not to be coined, but is to be sold by the secre tory of the treasury ror eoli. to be used for the purpose of maintaining the parity of gold and silver. This is the amendment which Mr. Blackburn in his recent speech said he would propose with a view of reaching a compromise. The debate on the re peal bill was continued by Senator Call. of Florida, and Senator Butler, of South Carolina, both of whom opposed the bill. Mr. Butler devoted the largest part of his speech today to an argument in favor of the repeal of the tax on state bank circulation, taking the position that the tax was unconstitutional. This led to a debate participated in by Senators Dolph, Allison, Sherman and others, and then Mr. Teller re sumed his speech against THE KEPEAL BILL commenced some time ago. ' The repeal bill was taken up at 12:25, and Mr. McPhersou (Dem., N. J.) gave notice that he would address the senate upon the bill on Monday next. Mr. Call (Dem., Fla.) took the floor and resumed his speech against the bill begun on Wednesday. He referred to the importance of the subject, am I spoke of the great interest manifested in the debates by the American people. Mr. Call said the senate was called upon to act without reason, and not to perform the function imposed upon it. Instead it was to rush through a bill repealing the only method by which there could be an increase of the currency of the country in metal money. 'AgMnst this he protested. • Mr. Call made a lengthy argument in advocacy of the amendment suggested by him, requiring all silver bullion in the treasury to be coined into dollars, half-dollars and quarters at the exist ing ratio of 16 to 1. He also looked with favor upon the amendment pro posed by Mr. Blackburn, and a lengthy discussion ensued between Mr. Dolph (Rep.. Or.) ami himself as to the effect of these amendments. - When Mr. Call concluded his speech, at 2:45 p. m., there were but six senators present. Mr. Butler (Dem., S. C.) obtained the floor, but Mr. Pugh (Dem., Ala.) sug gested ths absence of a quorum, and the roll was called. Forty-tour senators re sponded. Mr. Butler went into a long argument in favor of the amendment which he submitted some time ago, J . REPEALING THE TAX on state bank circulation. He proposed to modify his amendment by striking out the proviso limiting the right to is sue circulation to such banks as secure their circulation by coin or approved state or municipal bonds. Mr. Butler ridiculed the suggestion that if the tax on state bank circulation were repealed the days of .wild-cat banks would return. It was impossible for any state in the Union to permit torone hour the existence of a bank that was not conducted. upon conservative, pru dent and business principles. a Mi. Butler read copious. extracts from an article in the Forum, on the Scotch banking system, and he asked why such a system could not be established in the United States. Mr. Allison (Rep., Io.) said that every stockholder in a Scotch bank was liable to the full extent of his property for every obligation of the bank. That was one of the reasons of the success of the Scotch banking system. Mr. Butler believed that South . Caro lina or lowa would, with the tax on cir culation removed, acquire a method of banking as safe and conservative as that of Scotland. Why could not the American people imitate the Scotch? Why could not each locality be allowed banks establishing the cash credit system of Scotland "where a man's per sonal credit with the aid of two friends would get capital? What was there in the American people that they could not be trusted as the Scotch people were trusted; that the state which was trusted in so many other VITAL I*ol NTS could not be trusted to regulate the cur rency for its people? Mr. Snerman thought the national banking system was belter in every re spect than the Scotch system, and afford ing a larger circulation per capita. Mr. Butler said there were not $2 per capita in circulation in South Carolina, lie closed his speech by reading an ex tract from the farewell address of An drew Jackson, cendemning the United States banking system of that day. What Mr. Jackson said at that time, Mr. Butler declared, was a solemn truth when it was uttered, and as true today in this country. Mr. Dolph (Rep., Or.) read from Thompson's Bank Note Reporter of Jan. 15, 1559, as to the state bank circulation. He said that in New York there were 153 failed, closed and worthless banks of issue and only 259 in operation. Mr. Butler wanted the senator from Oregon to supplement the statement he. was making with another as to the number of banks which had failed in the last twelve months. Mr. Dolph replied that it was not necessary to do that, as in no case had the holder of national- bank currency lost a dollar. Of all the cur rency issued in 1859 that of seventy-six . batiks only passed at par in New York. ' Those banks were in New York, New •Jersey. Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Mr. Teller (Rep., Co!.) took the floor on the repeal bill at 4:44. and before he • began Mr. Dubois suggested the •iiJ LACK OF A QUORUM. ; After some delay a quorum was se cured. Mr. Teller said that, while he radi cally differed from the secretary of the treasury and the president, he assumed they were not actuated by any desire to injure the country. He believed the evidence could be and had been pro duced sufficient to justify the statement that neither the president nor the secre tary of the treasury Intended to inter fere in the slightest degree to prevent iii any way by any action on their part the disturbance that was somewhat apparent as early as the last of April or the first of May. •'I will say more," said Mr. Teller, "that so far as 1 am concerned lam satisfied that the excitement and dis trust was created in a large extent by the attitude of the executive department of this government on thefinancial ques- I tion. The president did not intend to | take such steps as were hitherto taken i to bring quiet and peace to the financial ! center. If senators were not misin ! formed the" president more than once [ declared that the people should have i object lesson in order to bring about ' jhi* enactment into law of certain finan ; cial views. . . : - . ' •■■ , ...■ At 5:15 Mr. Faulkner, understanding that Mr. Teller was' not feeling well, moved an executive session. Without concluding his speech Mr.Teller yielded tor this purpose. ; The senate after a short e*&:*tive session adjourned.- " A WINDY SESSION. Seven Hours Devoted to the Elec tions Bill iv the House. Washington, Oct. 6.— Seven hours of uninterrupted debate on the elections bill occupied the lime of the house today, the speech of Mr. Cv minings, of New York, being the feature. As but three days remain for the de bate, the house net this morning at 11 o'clock. Night sessions will also be ordered, so that all dt-siring to speak shall have an opportunity. Only twenty-three members, by actual count were present when Speaker Crisp dropped the aavel. All morning busi ness was dispensed with, and Mr. Heiner, of Nebraska, resumsd the floor to complete his speech in ODposi tiou to the Tucker bill. Mr. Hicks', of Pennsylvania, opposed the bill. Mr. Brookshire, of Indiana, spoke in support of the measure. Mr. Ray, of Now York, also opposed the bill. Mr. Amos Cunimings, of New York, followed with a vigorous speech. "These laws," he said, "were the re sult of party necessity, not national needs. They were passed not to pre serve the purity of the ballot, but to vio late it. The force bill, the legitimate offspring of these laws, was brought for ward, but failed. It was designed to accomplish what they would not." They were the substratum cf the force bill, wnich the Democrats in their piatfonn had Dledged themselves to re peal in their entirety. [Applause.f He read from the record to show that these laws were passed in 1871 under suspen sion of the rules by the Repubiicuns without permitting one word of debate. He also read extracts from the speeches of "Sunset" Cox to show that he had opposed the passage of these laws with all the energy of Mis nature. Mr. Cunimings went on to detail the operation of the election laws in New York city. The federal government sought to overawe the local officials. Troops were stationed at Governor's island, and agunooat was anchored at the foot of Wai I street. The city au thorities were not cowed. Bloodshed was averted by mutual concession, but Davenport remained in power. With his experience he couid draw up the force bill. "And he did draw it up," shouted Mr. Cunimings, with flushed face, as he poundedthe desk in front of him. "He did draw it up, line for live and word for word." Mr. Baker, of New Hampsire, and Mr. Tawney, of Minnesota, in opposition, and Mr. Talbert, of South Carolina, in support, followed. STATE PRESS OPINIONS.
