visit was merely to consult his constit­

State. But it was very plain that Ills
political henchmen alone were the con-
I stituents he wanted to see at present,
and the re-election of himself the only
matter of interest to be looked after.
Speaking on this subject, the Stand-
' ard says:
DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES!
It was well understood that Senator
Mitchell had determined to return to
Washington from this place by steain-
' er. A ll at once a change took place in
his mind, anil the people generally
were surprised at it. The rea-On of
the change was assigned to the fact
that there were certain State interests

form himself in that section. We

Conkling on Hie Warpath.
Senator Conkling has been inter­
viewed and is found to be bitter tow­
ard Mr. llayes. He talks very plainly,
criticizing him severely, llayes’ ac­
tion in virtually recognizing Nicholls
and Hampton and the formation of his
Cabinet seem to be particulary nauseat­
ing to Mr. Conkling. He thus gives
the status of the latter:
The President lias a Democratic
Cabinet. Devens always ran for otfice
in Massachusetts on the Democratic
ticket. He was never a Republican.
Schurz took himself out of the Repub­
lican party years ago. Key is a Dem­
ocrat. I am sure that nobody counts
Evarts a Republican. The Democrats
were so certain of the contrary that
they had proposed to nominate him for
the office of Governor in New York.
This is tho first intimation we have
received that the Democracy had a
majot ity among Ilayes’advisers but
perhaps Mr. Conkling ought to know.
Maybe we can thus account for the ex- I
cellent actions the Government is i
commended for. At any rate, hostili­
ties seem to be opened in t arnest, and,
in common with those ready to see
the biggest Republican bear-fight on
record, we are ready to see the fun
commence.

Eu lug's Silver Measure.
The House banking committee on
the 2d authorized tho chairman to re­
port Ewing’s silver bill as agreed upon
in subcommittee. It provides that
there shall be coined at the several U. ,
S. mints silver dollars of the weight of
4121 grains troy, of standard silver, as
provided in the act of January IS, 1-837,
on which shall be the devices and sub­
scription provided by said act, which
coin, together with all silver dollars
heretofore coined by tho United States
of like weight and fineness, shall be a •
legal tender for all debts and dues, pub­
lic and private, except where other­
wise provided by contract, and any
owner of silver bullion u.ay deposit
the same at any U. S. mint or assay
office to be coined into such dollars for
his benefit upon the same terms and j
conditions as gold bullion is deposited
for coinage under existing laws. It is
understood that when the bill is report­
ed to the bouse it will be proposed that
the legal tender power shall not affect
contracts made from the date of the
demonetization of silver to the passage
of this act, and also limiting the
amount for which it shall be a legal I
tender.

Workin^invii'M Partie*.
In an “open letter” to the working­
men of Massachusetts the policy of or­
ganized political action is again urged
as a means of remedying tiie disad­
vantages under which labor is now
supposed to exist. This is an idea
whose impracticability has often been
proved by experiment. Tho men who
would compose tho workingmen’s par­
ty are those who now cast the great
majority of votes in each of the two
political parties. They would bring
no new virtues and no greater influ­
ence to their new party, which would
lie no purer and no more completely
under their control than those in
which they now act. The only way
in which workingmen can better
themselves is that which is common to
all citizens by laboring to put only
good, able and honest men in authority.
They can accomplish this much more
surely than they can build up a new
workmgmeu’s party.

It has been extensively stated that tho

that when they get tired of polities they

Tiie Right to Cut Cioveruuient Timber.
The opinion of the United States
District Court for the district of Min­
nesota, by Judge Nelson, holding, that
the right to cut timber oh the public
domain by homestead settlers, is lim­
ited to purposes of cultivation. In all
new Stales this question of cutting
government timber has tro bled the
government officers. Men who would
not steal a chicken for the world,
thought it was no crime to steal gov­
ernment timber. We are reminded
of a Methodist conference which was
held at an early day iu Illinois. A
minister who had just come into the
country, aud was the possessor of a
stove pipe hat aud a broadcloth coat,
got the fi >ur and said: “I am agaiost
stealing in every shape, and therefore
move the adoption of the following
resolution: “Resolved, that in the
opinion of this conference it is just as
sinful to steal government timber as
any oilier kind of property.”
A
minister who was dressed in a home-
spun suit arose in great haste and said:
“It is evident that the brother who in-
*
troduced this resolution is a neW-coni-
er and does not know the wants and
necessities of this community. I move
that the resolution be laid on the ta­
ble;” and on the table it went by a
large majority.
