THOUSANDS
OF YAljDS OF GOLD
LACE.
The addition of fourteen thousand
yads of English gold laco to the
present brilliancy and efficiency of
the American army, as per recent
order of the Quartermaster's Depart
ment, is an item that appears to call
for more than a passing record. The
army has always been handsome, to
say the least, and -the addition of so
much brand-new ornamentation can
hardly fail of increasing its beauty.
"What .the effect of it -will be on future
contests with the red man remains to
be seen.
At the first blush one is inolinedxto
question why fourteen thousand
yards of gold lace should be ordered
from England. It is an expensive
article of manufacture, evidently has
a good deal of profit in it, and the
marvel is that our homo industries
have not been encouraged and pro
tected enough to manufacture tho
article for ourselves. Besides, gold
lace is used in all nations of the
world, and it is a thing we ought not
to have to buy, but to sell. At least
we might manufacture a cheap kind,
that would do for our own army, and
perhaps find n market among sav
ages. So the pleasure no doubt felt by
army officers at the prospect of so
much new tinsel is somewhat con
ditioned by the regret the commercial
classes must feel that so much fine
stuff should have to be bought from
England. These considerations, how
ever, cannot in any way interfere with
the moral effect of the addition of so
much gold lace to the glory of our
army. Other nations may not in
crease their respect for our flag on
account of this increase of splendor;
the noble Indian will scalp our troops
as of old, but the gold lace is a splen
did military addition all the same.
' But I am asked," wrote "Wendell
Jfiuihps. " would you drag women
down into the mire of politics T No,
sir ; I would have them lift us out
of it Now, the hcience of govern
ment is not an ignoble science, and
the practice of politics is not neces
sarily mean and degrading. If the
making and administering of law has
become so corrupt as to justify call
ing politics filthy, and a thing with
whioh no clean hands can meddle
without danger, may we not wisely
remember, as wo begin our work of
purification, that politics have been
wholly managed by men ? How can
we purify them ? Is there no radical
method, no force yet untried, a power
not only of skillful checks, which I
do not undervalue, but of controlling
character ? Mr. chairman, if we sat
in this chamber with closed windows
until the air became thick and fetid,
should we not be fools if we brought
in deodorizers if we sprinkled chlo
rido of lime and burned assafootida,
while we disdained the great purifier?
If we would cleanse tho foul cham
ber, let us throw the windows wide
open, and the sweet summer air
would sweep all impurity away and
fill our lungs with fresher life. If
we would purge politics, lot us turn
upon them the great stream of the
purest human influence we know."
PHEW3, na Blaine's aggressive de
fender, having pierced the supposed
impenetrable mail of Edmunds, others
are rising up to make their thrusts at
the Vermont statesman. While a
majority and perhaps all the Massa
chusetts delegates will vote for Ed
munds to escape Blaine, there are
many Republicans of the Bay State
who will protest against thus reward
ing Edmunds for his controlling part
in deposing Charles Sumner from the
chairmanship of foreign relations in
the reckless days of Grant The one
man who was pre-eminently fitted by
character, ability and experience to
head the most important committee
of the senate, was deliberately and
maliciously degraded by Edmunds
and Cameron honored with the chair
of Sumner. But for the active aid of
Edmunds that disgraceful record
could not have been made to shame
the national authority, and it is keen:
ly remembered not only in Massa
chusetts but throughout the length
and breadth of tho land. It is not
marvelous that there are loud and
deep murmurs against Edmunds in
the home of -.Charles Stunner, and
they are likely to be heard in in
creased volume and earnestness at
Chicago.
The question of the right of a
State to abolish the Grand Jury sys
tem and substitute for it the process
of presentment by information in
stead of indictment, notwithstanding
the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution, has been decided affirm
atively by the Supreme Court of the
United States, Justice Harlan alone
dissenting. It is held by the Court
that "due process of law," in the
meaning of the Constitution, does
mot necessitate action by a jury, and
that a citizen is :not improperly de
prived of "life, liberty and property1
when dealt with upon an information
filed by an authorized prosecuting
officer.
Gekebajj Butleb goes to Chicago
ar-.adelegate-at-large. His last ap
pearance in the Democratic wigwam
was at Charleston, when he voted for
Jtffno& Davis.
Genebaii OrDrcKE, whose death
occurred a few days ago, was ono of
tho offioers particularly esteomed by
Thomas. To him at Chickaniague,
when they were fighting to keep tho
little flint-covenSd hill the rock of a
most disastrous day Thomas said:
"This point must bo held." Said
Opdyckc: ""We'll hold it or go to
heaven from it" And "until night
came thoy kept tho rock, crowned
with a circlet of fire.
Such u little matter as the improve
ment of the mouth of the Columbia
river was unworthy of consideration
by the "Washington solons. It is" but
justice to Congressman George, in
this instance, to say that he did all
he could to Becure favorable consider
ation of our claims.
Gekebaii Butleb Jiaving been of
fered 20,000 by some western pub
lishers to write a book to be entitled
"The Ups and Downs "of "Political
