EDITOR. WEDHSD11 KOBKIHG, JIN. 17, ISSf. Thet are speaking of "the iodigoitj put upon Curtio." Well, who U to blame ? IIensel wui re elected Chairman of the Democratic State Committee last week, but intimates that, having been t indicated, he will resign and let the executive committee choose another field marshal. A max has finally been found who ii willing to accept the office of assist ant treasurer at New York. He was out of work being a guide in the Adi rondack! and had do hope of getting employment until Spring opens. The Democratic organs have al ready defeated the Republican candi date for president in 1888. This is hrewd and judicious. If they had put the job off a couple of years it would have been much more difficult. For every British shilling which comes to the United States to pay for the propagation of Free-trade doctrine an American dollar should go to Eng. land to support the cause of Irish lib erty. The war is open. Let it be short, Bharp and decisive. . If tbere was any doubt about Mr. Cleveland's rigid adherence to the austere simplicity which distinguished Jackson's administration, it has been removed by the fact that he bad seven kinds of wine and a special brewing of cold tea at his first state dinner. The potatoes were boiled with the skins on also, and Mr. Cleveland drank his coffee out of the saucer. what a horribly disgusting ex pression Senator Vests lace must have worn, when the Senate passed a reso lutioo giving the Dakota roan access to the coat room. The idea of the Senate admitting Dakota men to the coat room wbeu even Missouri bums would not be admitted there unless attended by officers to see that they did not steal the coats and bats. No wonder tbe Missouri Senator turns green with jealousy. Mr. Vest should not forget that the estimation in which men are held depends very much upon the company they keep. Gem. IIalleck's envious hatred of Grant is shown by a telegram that has recently come to light. Just after tbe "Unconditional Surrender" letter of the latter to Buckner at Fort Dooel son, when the name of Grant was on all lips, Gen. McClellan telegraphed to Halleck, who was then at St. Louis: "Where's Grant?" The same day McClellan received tbe following from Halleck: "In answer to your question would say Grant is somewhere on the rear of his armv, drunk " IIalleck's conduct toward bis subordinate is in excusable, as Grant had telegraphed him that day proposiog to push ahead toward Nashville. It 13 understood that the house com m it tee on Coinage, Weights and Meas area will this week report a bill for tbe retirement and recoinage of tbe trade dollar, which will be substantial ly the same as that which passed the House at the last season, but failed in the Senate. It provides that the hold rs of the trade dollars on presents tion of the same to the Treasurer the United States may receive in ex change a like amount in standard sil silver dollars, and that the trad dollars received by the Treasurer shall not be paid out or issued agaio . ..... .i . oui oe transmitted to tne coinage mints and recoiued into standard sil ver dollars. The State of Ohio, with her two Senates, each claiming to be the true Senate of Ohio, is just now the cyoo sure of all eyes. Tbe trouble results from the flagrant attempt of the Dem ocrats to capture the representation of Hamilton couuty, by any means, tai or foul. The seats of tbe four Senators from that county are contested, and the presiding officer very properly ruled that they could not vote on thei own cases. This ruling did not suit tbe Democratio members, and so when a motion was made to bear tbe con test cases in tbe open Senate, they re fused to vole at all. After a great deal of wrangling a motion to adjourn was put and carried, the Democrats not voting. As soon as tbe. Lieuten ant Governor left the chair a Demo- J. K. WENK, cratio member took it, and the Demo cratic members proceeded to conduct the Senate's business and to claim themselves to be the true Senate. This revolutionary proceeding is on par with the tactics which have so long disgraced the Democratio party in Ohio. A leading steel making firm in England is announced as negotiating for a site for a plant in this country to remove their business here. Some of our profound free trade political econo mists jump onto this incident as a proof that tbe Democratio victory of last year, and the promise of "Morri son reveoue reform" this year, has in cited this English firm to turn its eyes this way as the future field for their enterprise. This English firm is evi dently more practical than theoretical, and do not as our tree trade Iriends do, displace facts with fancy. It re- members, which they do not, that sev eral times in the history of this coun try tbe free traders have been able temporarily to strike down protection, but as soon as the effect of their med- liog began to be felt tbe people have tossed themselves and strain restored protection. The worst that is feared by industrial business men now, is that they may temporarily disturb oui ndustries and inflict loss; but they know it will only require enough time for the people to get another chance at them to pitch them oat and restore protection. Tne English firm knows this, too, aod as it will take longer to cure Great Brilian of its lunacy, they propose to get out from under. That's all. WASHINGTON LETTER. From our regular Correspondent.) Washington, D. C, Jan. 23, '86. The members of the Dakota delega tion, headed by Judges Edgerlou aod Moody, railed on tbe Presideot yes terday afternoon by appointment, and presented the claims of that territory for admission into the union, with a view of securing bis aid and co-opera tion in attaining that end. The Pres ident assured tbem that he would give the matter careful consideration and would do what he thought right in the premises. In one respect the republican Sena tors have reason on their side in ask ing for information touching removal from office. Every man has the right to know, and to have it generally knowo, that his removal was not due to any discreditable causes. He entitled to his reputation. If bio man agement iu office has been, from business standpoint, satisfactory, those who displace him, from outside con siderations, should state the facts iu his removal frankly. Just here lies one of the drawbacks to office holding, whether under the spoils" or the "merit" system. In either case the incumbent is exposed to detraction from those who wish to raise themselves at bis expense. Where preferment goes by favor simply these rivalries take the form of secret per sonal intrigues. Where the officer 18 supposed to hold his place on bis mer its the opposition finds a cunvenien weapon in charges affeeting his capao ity or character. An honest officer is entitled to protection in either case and the best protection is generally to be found in publicity. Charges should not be made in the dark. Our fuuda mental piinciples of law are base on the iostinct of justice which requires tbe accuser to confront the accused in open court. This feeling should not be disregarded in political warfare. A displaced officer, whose record is clear. should not be sent out of tbe public service uoder a cloud of suspicion. One who follows the silver contro versy now raging in Congress and tb newspapers, will not get a very flatter ing opinion of the American people. According to the monometalists, the country west of the Allegbenies is populated with fools aod knaves, wh are trying to cheat their creditors out of tweuty per cent of their dues. But accoidiog to the silver men, our busi oess centers at the east are nests crime, where the consciences tbieves plot against the rights of the poor H is to oe nopea mat foreigners wil not take us at our own valuation.
