TH3REPJJ3LILAN PARTY'S STEWARDSHIP .
To-day, March 4, the republican
party surrenders the trust which it
.accepted at the bands of the American
people on March i, 18C1 just 24
vears ago. Never has a trust been
administered with ruore fidelity; nevei
has a nation prospered more, under
wise, enlightened and benificent gov
ernmental control, than the United
.States in the past quarter of a century.
When it assumed the direction of
the destinies ef this country, we had a
population of 31,500,000. We have
now over .55,000,000 nearly a doub
ling of numbers, in spite of the great
jjkeck which the war put upon the
natural increase of the population.
It found a bankrupt treasury; it
carried to a successful conclusion one
xf the greatest and most costly wars of
modern times, has paid off a very large
portion of the debt thus incurred, and
leaves a full treasury. It found the
Rational credit at the lowest tbb, and
the bonds of government bearing a
high rate of interest yet unsalable un
less at a heavy discount from the face
value. It leaves the nation's credit at
the highest point ever reached, and
our bonds floating at the lowest rat? of
interest .they ever bore sure testimony
of the highest financial standing.
The republican administration found
the country on the verge of 'disunion,
the Southern states having passed or
dinances .of secession, and arming
themselves to enforce the paper act of
separation from the Union. It retires
leaving the country a political unit
the doctrines of secession and state
rights relegated to the limbo of ex plod
ed and impractical political dogmas.
It found nearly one-baif the states
clinging to the shameful institution of
human slavery, and the doctrine' of
ruling our courts, promulgated by the
highest tribunal of the country, that
"a negro has no rights a white man is
bound to respect." Jt has wiped the
foul blot from the nation, made all
men free and equal, and incorporated
in the organic law of the nation the
most sacred guarantees of citizenship
.and equal rights before the law to the
enfranchised millions of black men.
And it has enforced these guarantees
jn all states where it has had cen
trolling power, leaving it for the
reactionary ex-rebels in the South to
refuse these undoubted rights to the
black citizens within the borders of the
.states which are cursed and ruinea by
solid Democratic rule.
Nor .will it do to say that it is unfair
to credit the growth in population, in
prosperity in strength, of the nation to
the republican party; that this growth
and prosperity were natural results,
uninfluenced by political domination.
Look at the map of the Union, and
those states which ate largely republi
can, which have been chiefly under re
publican state control are the most im
portant, the ons which have grown in
wealth, in power, in importance, in
population, most rapidly. Wherever
the blighting hand of democracy has
lain heaviest, there will be found the
greatest degree of popular ignorance,
the least .enterprise, the slowest yield
ing to the tendencies of the nineteenth
.eentnry ciyilieation, tbat has in the
.othtrtt(es, been quickened into new
Jih, impelled into more rapid growth,
by the benificent rule of republican
ism. There are, and can be, in the very
nature of things, but two great politi
parties in, the nation.
finds its idols in the past. It loaks to
a demagogue of a century ago as the
exponent of its political faith. It
fondly adores doubtful dogmas long ago
out-worn in the rapid growth of the
American republic, and tries to oppose
all change, and consequently all growth
for growth is always change. The
other is the party of progress, of en
lightenment, of civilization. It be
lieves in holding on to all political
ideas that experience has proved sound
and good, and in rejecting those which
we have outgrown.
The party of the past, the democ
racy, has succeeded to power by a
scratch by a series of accidents. It
has for twenty four years done nothing
but curse republicans, and endeavor to
undo what the republican party has
done. Now it is in power let ns see
what it can possibly do to improve on
the matchless record of the republican
party for the past quarter of a century.
Toledo Blade.
A BIG SPLIT EXPECTED AMONG THE DEMOCRATS.
The Star says: Mr. Blaine feels
friendly toward Mr. Cleveland, and
thinks it will be the duty of republi
cans in congress to give him every pos
sible backing in carrying out the policy
he has laid down. A large majority
of the republicans agree with Mr.
Blaine in this. They expect to see
many democrats repudiate Cleveland if
he lives up to his promises. They ex
pect to see a large faction of the demo
crate (opposing him in congress next
winter, and they have determined that
they will stand by him. There is no
disposition in the senate to oppose any
nominations he may send in except
upon such grounds as they would op
pose them if sent in by a republican
president, and they will treat all his
recommendations with respect. Ltad
LUg republicans, wlio form the opinion
of all their party in the house, say that
from what they can judge of his policy
at this time, and from his public
declarations, they do not expect Mr
Cleveland to follow any line of action
in which he would not receive their
endorsement and hearty support.
Should there be a split in the demo.
cratic party, growing out of the discon
tent of those democrats who looked for
a complete revolution of a9air3 vhen
the democratic president came into
power, the republicans say they wil
rush into the breach and support Cleve-
and. Moreover, if the democrats
oppose the administration in the house
two years hence, when the next con
gressional elections come off the re
publicans will make the civil service
reform the main issue in the campaign,
and try to beat the anti-G'levaland and
mti-civil service reform men, on the
ground that they are more interested
in the spoils than in honest govern
ment. The republicans are united in
this, and they will be found in the nest
congress to stand with Cleveland in
everything except it may be the tariff,
and they don't know how he stands on
that.
The following is from a new paper,
started in Augusta, Ga., by colored
men in the interests of the race, and
contains the solution of the race prob
lem in tho South: "We are living
here among the same people that once
owned us. We must get on together.
There is nowhere for us to go. We
could not go if we wanted to. They
could not ssnd us if thsy tried. We
should thank God for the Treasure of
peace that exists among us. It could
be much worse. It only remains for
us to educate our children, buy lands,
make our homes pure, dignified, and
comfortable, and save money, and
every other right will follow."
There is xna prevision of the Post-
office appropriation bill whose adoption
will be hailed by a letter writing pub
lic with delight. A1J letters now pay
two cer-ts oa a half ourj.ee and an ex
tra two cents for any fraction over
that weight. Multitudes of letters
overrun .the half ounce a trifle, and if
the extra weight is not prepaid by the
sender it is collected from the receiver.
By this provision the postage on a let
ter weighing an ounce will be only two
cents instead of four after June 30
next A great many letters weigh
several ounces, and they will after that
date, be charged only two cents an
ounce instead of four cents as now.
People in writing hereafter wili not be
afraid to fill up another half shee: after
their letter overruns the half-ounce
limit; and perhaps many persons who
send letters ,to the newspapers and
write on both sides of jtheir paper, will
not be afraid to use a little more paper
The one I and write only on one side thereof
The war cloud hanging over Russia
aud England is not yet dissipated,
although it seems probable that -matters
may be settled without a-resort to
arms. The newspapers of both coun
tries keep up a belligerent tone, and
there are plenty ol accusations of bad
faith upon both sides. Meanwhile it
is understood by both governments
that tjiere is a necessity for the settle
ment, once for all, of Central Asia
matters, and the gravity of the situa
tion lies in the difficulty of doing this
satisfactorily. Russia's aims are well
known, and England's determination is
firm that they shall not be carried out.
to the imperiling of English interests
in India. Yet neither government
really wants war, so that it is probable
that a long diplomatic campaign is
opening, in which the Russian intrigue
and dissimulation will pay an impor
tant part,
The monumental cheek of the demo
cratic majority in Congress in refusing
to admit Dakota to the sisterhood of
states can be estimated from a few
facts regarding that flourishing territo
ry: It pays more revenue to the Po-t-office
department than any one of the
32 stater of the Union, and has a pop
ulation as large as Nebraska or Con
necticut, and nearly twice as large as
New Hampshire, Vermont or Florida.
It boasts 2,500 miles of railway, 2,000
schoolhouses, 275 newspapers, and
more periodicals than any New Eng
land state except Massachusetts.
PROHIBITING MEMBER3 OF THE LEGISLA
TUBE BEING CANDIDATES FOR
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
On the above subject among other obser
vations, T. VV. Davenport, Senator from
Marion county, in the late legislature makes
some very appropriate remarks on that pro
vision rf oar state constitution which pre
hihits members of tha legislature being can
didates for any office the election of which
is vestetl in the legislative assembly. The
following is hit words on the subject to-wit:
Mr, Hirsch, being a naem.ier of the legis
latnre, was therefore ineligible, under our
constitution, to th office of U. S. Senator.
There is no more doubt that the constitu
tion means what it says, and that the fram
ers of that instrument bad the office of tho
United States Senator especixlly iu view,
than there is of any other declaration
couched in language and addressed to plain
people. No man can misunderstand it, and
no one until recently had the hardihood to
try to explain it away. There is nothing
in the inhibition contrary or hostile to the
constitution of the United States; there is
nothing in it which does not conserve the
best interest of the people of this state.
I am aware that the senate of the United
States admits to seats within that body
members elected in defiance of the state con
stitutions, such as ours or the state of Ill
inois, and this practice was heM as a suffi
cient reason, by nearly all the members of
our last legislative assembly, for ignoring
the dative of the constitution rendering
them ineligible.
I do not wish to indulge in harsh jndge-
nents or set my self up as a standard iu this
particular, but I do insist that the practice
of the hist two sessions shall be discontin
ued, and that we go b.ick and stand upon
our own constitution
If there wure any doubts in the minds of
any as to tha wisdom of the inhibition, cer
tainly thu sceues of the last session would
remove them. The framers of oui constitu
tion were wiser than the present, for they
foresaw whit we have now learned from a
dear experience. I put it as the prim"
reason for our late failure to eleot a senator
that we did not observe in good faith the
constitution of our state. If there had been
no legislative candidates we could have
agreed in less than two weeks.- I know we
could. The prejudice of the country again t
the metropolis could not have hindered it.
Tho votes show tbat the prejudice was im
potent to prevent au dec: i -a. The main
trouble lay in the fact that members who
are candidates are striving to prevent an
agreement up m one of their own number
or upon any one outside of the assembly.
The principal tendency of such a contest
among a number of ambitious, self-esteemed,
equal aspirants is to stir up disagreements
and animosities which in the nature of
things must grow stronger instead of weaker
to the end of the session. And can any
one think that legislation, under such cir
cumstances, would proceed in that orderly,
careful, judicious manner which is the chief
protection against bad laws? The election
of United States Senator is bad enough at
best, and always more or less corrupting to
legislation, but is it not doubly so where
those who are the instruments by which
legislation is affected also enter the arena of
conflict where the great senatorial honors
are to be won? It mu3t be go while human
nature is human nature. I do not wish to
be understood as even hinting that the
members ef the last legislature were not
good men, or even superior men, for I think
as a whole it was an earnest, honest, hard
working assembly, fuller of ideas and pur
poses than any of its predecessors, but it
was composed of human beings who were
actuated by human impulses, that is all.
In charity for ourselves let us adopt the
Irish verdict, "Not guilty, but don't yon do
it again. "
Let ns learn by the past and reaffirm the
ineligibility clause of our organic law. Let
us have no more legislative candidates for
the United States senate, and if possible let
ns remove the question practically from the
legislature by asking the people to nomi
nate the senator.
T. W. DAVENTORT.
BILL NYE TO THE NEW PRESIDENT.
Dtar Sir: The painful duty of turning
over to yon the administration of these
United States and the key to the front door
of the White house has been assigned to me.
You will find the key hanging inside the
storm door and the cistern pole up stairs in
the hay-mow of the barn.
It is expected that you' will make suoh
chances in your cabinet and other furniture
as you may see fit. The asparagus bed,
however, will need a little top dreseing in
the spring, and you can do as you see fit
about putting pillow shams on the pie-plant
bed. In your attitude toward foreign pow.
ers you will, of course, have your own ideas,
and a suggestion from me at this time would
be entirely out of place. Govern the peo
ple with a firm yet gentle hand, apd put a
little rat poison down cellar where it will
do the most good.
I have made a good many suggestions to
the outgoing administration relative to the
transfer of the Indian bureau from the de
partment of the interior to that of the
"Sweet by-and-by." The Indian, I may
say, has been a great source of annoyance
to nie, several of their number having
jumped one of my most valuable mining
claims on White river. Still I do not com
plain of that . This mine, however, I am
convinced would be a good paying property
if properly worked, and should you at any
time wish to take the regular army and
such other help as you may need and re
capture it from our red brother, I would be
glad to give you acontroling iuterest in it.
You will observe, on taking possession of
the administration, that the navy is a little
bit weather-beaten and wormy. I would
suggest that it be newly painted in trie
sprang. If it had been my good fortune to
receive a majority of the suffrages of the
people for the office you hold, I should have
painted the navy red. Still, that need not
influence you in the course which you may
see fit to adopt.
You will find all papers in their appro
priable pigeon holes, and a pimill jar of cu
cumber pickels down cellar, which were
leftover, and to which yon are welcome.
The asperities and hart burnings that were
the immediate result of a hot and unusually
bitter campaign, are now all hurried. Take
these pickles and use them as though they
were your own. They are none to good for
yon. You deserve them. vVe may differ
politically, but tbat need not interfere with
our warm personal friendship.
Yon will also find a ton of coal left over,
and an old ax in the wood-shed, which a
man from Ohio left with us to have ground.
Of course you do not make a business of re -ceiving
presents, but oa mot' refuse to re
ceive these as a.slight testimonial of regard
and not in the nature of a bribe.
There are many affairs of great moment
which I have not enumerated in this brief
letter, because I have felt some little
delicacy and timidity about appearing to be
at all dictatorial or officious about a m tter
wherein the public might charge me with
interference.
I hope you will receive the foregoing in a
friendly spirit, and whatever your convic
tions may be upon great questions of nation
al interest, either foreign or domestic, that
you will not undertake to blow out the gas
on retiring, and that you will in other ways
realize the fond anticipations which are
now cherished in your behalf by a mighty
people whose aggregate eye now on to you.
Bill Nye.
P. S. You will be a little surprised, no
doubt, to find no soap in the lauudry or
bath rooms It probably got in the cam
paign in some way and was absorbed. In-

The prosperity and stability of every com
munity largely (in fact entirely) depend
upon the public spirit and private enter
prise of its citizens, as well as upon the
fostering and encouragement of home in
dustries. It is a recognized principle of
municipal economy that no city can secure
for itself a substantial and permanent ex
istence unless its inhabitants shall be
possessed iu a liberal degree of the disposi
tion to aid each other in other words to
put their shoulders unitedly to the wheel.
and labor with a common purpose for the
general welfare. No greater stigma can f.i'l
to the lot of any municipality or State than
a c unman reputation tor selfishness, or hick
of enterprise, or mossbackism. Such a
stigma acts like a clog under th) wheels of
progress, hindering and embarrassing the
course of trade and dwarfing the growth of
the body corporate or commercial. But let
any city achieve a fame for goaheadiveness,
push and energy, and you will see countless
hands stretched forth to give it beuison,
and the purses of capital opened to shower
it with financial encouragement; the wheels
of its railroads will groan with incoming
