Ther action of tho President in tie
remoTal of those public officers who
were employing the influence of their
positionsto shield the star route thieves,
has elicited almost universal commend
ation. Every body says it is just what
should have been done. Most of the
Republican papers and politicians are
encouraged to hopo that this is the
harbinger of better work on the part
of the President. In consequence, they
compliment him with a persistency and
profuscness, which has mucli more of
real meaning in it than is seen upon
the surface. So loudly have tho praises
of the President been sung that one,
nnaccquainted with the facts, would
conclude that he had suddenly inaug
urated some new reform. Tho facts,
hqwovcr, are quite contrary. The
officials whom ho removed, wero en
gaged in an earnest and persistent en
deavor to obstruct tho efforts of tho
courts and clog tho tardy wheels of
justice. Their offense was well known
throughout the country. The Presi
dent knew it, or if he did not, it was
because he had not availed himself of
the means of information common to
the whole country, or becauso he
wished to remain in ignorance of it.
Their guilt was as well established sev
eral months ago, and almost as well
known, as it was at the tiino of their
removal. To bo sure it increased in
degree, but it did not change in kind.
In view of these, well known fact?, tho
applause which theso removals has
elicited carries a strong undercurrent
of reproof, which tho President can
not fail to understand. Tt was simply
the discharge of a long delayed duty.
If he had followed tho plain course of
conduct which a proper love of his
country, not to mention the obligations
of his official oath, had dictated these
removals would have been mado long
ago. The fact that he did not,, has
scandalized the country ad injured
the party to which he claims toielong.
When a man, either as an individual
er a public officer, simply does that
which it is his plain duty to do, here
is no occasion for applause. And the
fact that action in the line of private
, or official duty is HiSdoJ,ho occasion
for such excessive jiraise, indicates a
deeper feeling of distrust, and carries
tho force of a keener reproof than is
contained in open criticism. A man
may become blinded by anger, when
you excite the perversity of his nature
by open condemnation, but he is dis
armed and helpless when you greethim
with hearty praise. It is to be' hoped
that this reproof may not pass unheed
ed. The people of this country,, though
naturally rather enthusiastic, do not, as
a rule, unite in applauding tho actions
of a man who does merely what they
expected ho would do. 1 is the un
usual, tho unexpected which excites
their admiration to this extent. No
more emphatic reproof or keener con
demnation has been visited upon Pres
ident Arthur than the recent expres
sion in regard to theso removals. If
he does not profit by this, he is either
incapablo of understanding tho senti
ment of this people, or more indifferent
to his future than is generally supposed.
Senator Logan of Illinois has called
up his bill amending tho present
Chinese law so as to permit the passage
of Chinese through this country. This
bill was introduced last session but was
not disposed of, and Senator Logan now
insists upon a speedy disposal of the
matter. Ho is an earnest advocate of
the bill, and is using all his influence
to secure its passage. The fact that
this bill will bo a great draw back
to tho restriction of Chinese emigration
ii too plain for argument. If they are
permitted to pass throught how are
they to be prevented from stopping?
The present bill, though it might be
ceatly improved by a few judicious
amendments, had better be let severely
alone bo long as it does as well toward
accomplishing its purposes as it has
done since it went into effect. If these
gentlemen who persist in telling the
people of this coast what they do, and
do not want, would only consent to
turn their attention to organizing a
new polcr expedition or figuring out
tho result of the transit of Venus ob
servations or some such interesting
pastime we undertake present
them the heartfelt thanks and best
wishes of tho people of tho whole
Pacific slope.
The prohibition amendment, passed
by tho lost legislature was not, it seem?,
entered on the journals of the Legisla
ture as required by the costitution.
This sets the whole matter back for
another two years at least. Such
omissions are inexcusable, to say the
least, and reflect unfavorably upon
thoso having tho matter in charge.
CIVIL SLmiCEBEFOUH BILL.
The first bill introduced at the pres
ent session of Congress, was a bill to
prohibit political assessments. Sen
ator Beck, of Kentuckey, who intro
duced the bill, claims to be ablo to show
that great outrages have been perpe
trated upon government officials in
making political assessments. He says
he can show that many rapn and women
havo baen turned out of their postions
for their refusal to contribute to tho
Hubble committee, and that others,
only kept their places because some
good charitable- Democrat furnished
them the money with which to pay the
assessments. That sounds very much
like Democratic brag but let us- hope
that Senatcr Beck may be afforded
every opportunity for making, good
his promises. If any such outrages
have been committed the country
wants to know all about it and will
heartly thank, and kindly remember
Senator Teck13r anybody else, who will
furnish the information. Senator
Hawley,' of Connecticut has also in-1
troduced a bill somewhat similar to
that of Senator Beck, thouch more
pointed and Btringent. There is a
strong currentsetting in at Washington
in favor of practical civil service re
form which at present gives promise
of some real good. Senator Voorhees,
the valliant statesman from Indiana,
has already planted himself squarely
in the way of of pjactical work in this
direction. But then Voorhees has not
sufficient force to obstruct anything.
The greatest danger from him is that he
will orato in favor of the reform. He
hones for some of the spoils for his
hungry followers and tho civil service
reform and ant-assessment agitation
has a sort of a'n empty sound to tho
Hoosier Senator.
Duller And The Democrats.
Ben Butler says he is not a Demo
crat and was not elected by the Demo
crats. He says he is the peoples gov
ernor and not a Democratic governor,
and that he cannot forget that Massa
chusetts is a Republican State. His
theory is, that the Republicans, dis
satisfied with their party leaders, con
cluded to throw them overboard and
elect him as their governor. Butler is
now in Washington scliemihg.for the
defeat of Senator" Hoar. From pres
ent appearences ho is likely to succeed
in this and it is not impossible that he
will himself becomo Hoar's succesior.
ilaausTSaoiishftrSfela UTreasintraj
amongst his would-be Democratic
friends by dining with the President
and spending several hours in private
and mysterious consultation with him.
Ben is a political" paradox, and his new
found political associates, who so
warmly embraced him a few weeks
ago, are already beginning to look up
on him with a great deal of uneasy
suspicion. The trouble is that Ben is
cross ey ed politically, as well as phys
ically, and you never can tell what he
is looking at. It would bo very
sad, if, after all tho crowing and blow
ing the Democrats have done about the
victory of Massachsetts, their Governor
should denounce and denv them.
It is now, almost a month and a half
since the election, and the Democratic
papers are still enthusiastically at work
upon obituaries of theRepublican party
If the thing is dead what is the use of
talking so much about it. The adject
ive dead does not admit of comparison
you can't get tho party any deader.
Come, letup and giveusarest. Of course
you are not afraid of a dead party and
it is not very nice, to say the least of it,
to go to a funeral and then put in the
time kicking the corpse.
o
And now it is reported that Secre
tary Lincoln wants to re tiro from pub
lic life. Such reports usually indicate
tho incipient stages of the Presidential
fever. His father-in-law js . jrespon.-..
siblo for tho report, however, and it is
unfair to hold a man resposible for
the utterances of such distant relatives.
Now if his mother-in-law had said this,
we would bo prepared to hear of his
early retirement.
Thero were 65,000,000 acres of corn
planted in the United States last year.
Tho average yield was 25 bushels per
acre. This would make the corn crop
1,C20,000,000 bushels. Illinois leads
as usualwith an estimated crop of 209,
000,000 bushels, and Iowa comes next
with 180,000,010 bushels.
Gen. Rosecrans has introduced a bill
to incorporate a railroad company to con
8tructalinethroughYellowStonoPark.
He takes great care to state that the
bill is introduced by request and he
does not wish to ba understood as
advocating its passage.
There are 4,000 saloons in ChicaL'o.
The Chicago papers are clamoring for
high liscenso and insist that a $500
license would close up fully one half
of them.
There is now the enormous sum of
$287,867,173 in the National Treasury.
uncus ad ii.utnoKs.
Tho secretary of the treasury in his
annual report did not furnish estimates
of the amounts required for the im
provement of rivers and harbors for
next year. These estimates are made-
by a government engineer; and the
secretary is required to furnish them
to Congress with his annual message.
The fact that he failed to comply with
the law in this respect this year, would
seem to indicate an understanding be
tween him and the President on this
subject. If the purpose is to prevent
any appropriations for the improve
ment of rivers and harbors, and there
can be no other, tho secretary of the
treasury has taken rather a high hand
ed way of accomplishing this purpose.
There aro very few people who, what
ever may bo their opinions of these ap
propriations, are willing to ssee a sec
retary of the treasury or the whole
cabinet, for the matter of that, handicap
the United States assembly in any such
an arbitrary manner. The question of
hese appropriations' rests with Con
gress, and it BhoultTbitfurnisbed every
means for ascertaining the wants and
needs of the country in this respect.
There is a certain class of politicians,
who seem to think that because the
appropriations of last year wero some
what extravagant, therefore no
further appropriations should be made.
This is a miserable political artifice to
originate campaign capital. Such in
ternal improvement, as the country
really needs should, of course, be made
even at the expense of the criticism of
those sections whero no improvements
are required. A resolution; has been
introduced in the House, calling upon
the secretary of the treasury for the
engineers estimate and it will no doubt
ba forth coming in consequence. A
resolution has also been introduced
asking information as to what amount
of money, appropriated last year, re
mains unexpended.
Arabi Pasha pleaded guilty to the
charge of instigating an insurrection and
encouraging rebellion and all the other
high sounding military charges pre
ferred against him. Upon this plea-
he was sentenced to be hanged. This
sentence was commutted to banishment
and he was banished to the island of
Ceylon. Ho is to bo- maintained' on
the island by the English Government
in a manner befitting the dignity of his
previous station, and is not to leavo
withont having first obtained the Gov
ernments permission. Bforo leAvilig
for his f uturo home Arabi, in true polit
ical style addressed aletter tothe people
of England congratulating them upon
their success in Egypt and expressing
hope that their efforts for the improve
ment of that unfortunate country
might be successful. He had,
he said, begun a great reform in Egypt
but he cheerfully relenquished the un
dertaking to his conquerors. That's
what we would call taffy out west.
The propsition is again being act
ively agitated to reduce the postage
on letters to two cents. The present
Post Office appropriation bill contains
such a clause and-will probably be
adopted. Tho Post Office department
is more than self sustaining and there
is no reason why such a reduction
should not bo made. The postal busi
ness is not expected to be a source of
revenue to tho government. It is main
tained for the convenience of the" peo
ple and thecheaper the postage thogrcal
er the convenience. It should bo mado
as nearself sustaining as possible; but if
a small appropriation were requird in
consequence of the proposed reduction
no great fault would be found. Be
sides, experience has shown that each
reduction in postage has resulted in
such an increase of business as to al
most make up for the reduction.
The Senate is now engaged on a.
bankrupt law.- Ji is -pe-JMtobtful
whether tho opposing opinions on this
bill will be sufficiently harmonized to
secure its passage at this term, but it
will be disposed of in some manner
within a few. days. The next bill in
order is the civil service bill of Senator
Beck and after that comes the inter
minable Eitz Porter case.
A polar wave visited the northern
and Atlantic states duriug the last
week of such severity that in some lo
calities the thermometors fell as low as
67 degrees below zero. The peo
ple of those states had better take
Horace Greelys advice and go west.
London England was last week vis
ited by the most destructive fire known
there for agwat many years. More
than $15,000,000 worth of property
was destroyed and many lives were lost.
Senator Slater has introduced the
concurrent resolution of the Oregon leg
islature in favor of the passage of a
bill to incorporate the Nicarauga ca
nal company.
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks has al
most entirely recovered from his recent
ilucss.
