At all events, there will never be any

Ch icago 1 im cs.
The above Is true to the letter. The
Democratic party as a gang of parti
zans has run its race and all its races
end in defeat. The trouble is that
Democrats have no leaders, no firm
adherence to principle. It has been
for years anything to beat anybody,
and thus they have beateu them
selves. Pomcroy's Democrat.
Such talk from two such Democrat
ic Bources, one might think would set
tle the question of the future of the
Democratic party. Butit does not do
any such thing. The Democratic party
is at this time in a more healthy condi
tion than It has been for the paatseven
teen years, and daily growing strong
er, wnile it is true tuat tnat party
has "no firm adherence to principle"
and "have beateu themselves" the
logic of which, being, that the other
parti did not beat them circum
stances have served recently to build
up Democracy and to enervate,
discourage and dishearten Repub
licans. What will be the use
of the Republicans of -the South
ern States to strive for victories
or to assert their rights hereafter?
What incentive to enthusiasm or hope
will they have, what can they have?
Not the least In the world. They
would have no reason to believe that
even should they succeed in casting
more votes than tho Democracy that
such fact would be recognized and the
majority permitted to rule. The gov
ernment of Southern States being now
delivered into the hands of the mi
nority, that minority will not remain
such long but by the prestige of success,
by the attraction and intimidation of
power, will swell rapidly into a ma.
jority, and that majority will remain
such and hold the reins until after
the next revolution. The course of
the negroes and many of the poor
white Republicans will be as recom
mended by Redpath's late circular
among these olasses, in which he ad
vises them to join the Democratic
party, as a safety measure, the sup
port of Republicanism being with
drawn from them. Republicanism
in the South is dead : and the next
Presidential campaign will find truly
a Bolid South and divided North, and
the reTerse of what the Times says
will be the truth. There will be an
othor Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, and a successful one.
This will be one of the results of
the admistration of President Hayes.
Whether his policies will redound to
the weal or to the woe of the nation
or any class of its citizens, we are not
prepared to say. But we cannot be
lieve that general, good, lasting re
sults can come of a policy that de
cides measures on other than legal and
just grounds that establishes prece
dents other than the cherished re
publican prinoiple, that tho majority
shall rule. The President by his
Louisiana policy has placed himself
in antagonism with his party both
North and South. This fact is pal
pable, and there 1b no use to try to
dodge it. Time will tell whether the
party is wrong and the on e man right,
or the reverse. If the former proves
true, the country will deem itself
luoky indeed In securing as its chief
magistrate one having more wisdom
than all the balance of the wile heads
of the great party combined.
An Inter Ocean special 6peaklng of
a recent Cabinet meeting pays, "The
question of appointing Federal officers
in the Southern States, and particular

Republicans of good standing, whose
character and ability will commend

who will be able to command a suf

Orleans was incidentally discussed.
It was determined that the public in

was agreed upon for the succession,

than usual. The Kansas farmers

fect that the average crop is about
a million tons which was the crop of
1874 but the prediction is this year
that not more than half a million tons
will be raised and the effect, togpther
with the bad condition of the stock

AN ORDER BY THE PRFSIDENT.
Washington, April 20. The presi
dent this afternoon addressed the fol
lowing letter to Secretary McCrary :
Sir Prior to my entering upon the
duties of the presidency there had
been btationed, by order of my prede
cessors hi the immediate vicinity of
the building usedas thestale house in
New Orleans, Louisiana, and known
as Mechanics' institute a detachment
of United States infantry. Finding
them in that place I have thought
proper to delay decision of the ques
tion of their removal until I could de
termine whether the condition of af
fairs is now such as to either require
orjustify continued military interven
tion of the national government In af
fairs of the state. In mv oninion
there does not now exist in Louisiana
such domestic violeuce aa is contem
plated by the constitution as ground
upon which the military power of the
national government may be invoked
for defense ofstate disputes which ex
ist. The right of certain claimants
to the ohief executive office of that
state are to be settled and determined
not by tho executive of, the United
States but by such orderly and peace
able methods as may be provided by
the constitution and laws of the state.
Havincr assurance that no resort to vi
olence is contemplated bat on the con
trary disputes Inquestionare to be set
tled by peaceful methods nnderand in
accordance with law, I deem It proper
to takeaction in accordance with prin
ciples announced when I entered up
on the duties of the presidency. You
are therefore directed to pee that prop
er orders are issued for removal of said
troops at nn early date from their
prpspnt position to such recular hnr
raoks in the vicinity a may be select

"People In Nebraska don't know

soon learn by coming hero. I have
traveled over the state for the last six
months and I have never known the
people of Nebraska to have as much
reason to feel blue or depressed as the
people of California have at this time.
The truth is Nebraska is a better
country for anybody, unless he be a
millionaire, than this country is, and
again there is not a healthier locality
in the world than Nebraska. I never
was in a plaoe where there was so
much sickness as there has been here

people out of employment with no
prospects of better times. I expect to

times are too dull for me here."

parties, and were an element of dis
cord and weakness. To them the ool

offers of a break in the ranks of both

that when new organizations should

Friday and Saturday night, and to

AN IMMACULATE GRANGER.
I must tell you something in rela
tion to the Hon. immaculateand high
toned gentleman from your section of
our State, who is commonly called
the "Boss Granger," but better known
as Church Howe. I was down at the
depot a few days since, and when the
train drew up to the platform I notic
ed him alight therefrom, his lily
white handa encased in an elegant
pair of kids; he permitted the hack
driver to carry his elegant valise over
to the hack, and then mincing grace
fully across the walk he deposited
himself on the ousbioned seat of the
barouoh and languidly explained to
the driver "to the Grand Central.'"
Follow me, gentle reader of The
Advertiser, while I trace for your
information, the meanderings of this
representative of the honest farmer.
He reaches this elegant caravansarj'
me neatiquarters for tho Bohoming
politicians of our State., registers his
name, and calls nay, I do not soy
calls, for his wants are well known
but is assigned to room 118 on the sec
ond floor at a mere nominal cost to
him jof say form SS.O0 to $12,00 per
day. All of Friday and Saturday he
was closeted... at the Union Pacific
Headquarters, hobnobbing -with the
nabobs of this mighty corporation.
Yesterday, Sunday, he and ex-Senator
P. W. Hitchcock, had an extend
ed Interview at the Grand Central.
Just what theirsohomeafor tho future
are, I could not tell, but from the cold
steel glitter of the Boss Granger's
eyes, and the timidity of the ex-Sena-tor'a
manner, I inferred that Church
was playing a little bull-dozing game
on him.
About twelve o'clock last night a
fire broke out in Goodman's drugstore
on Farnham street which gained such
headway that this store, Simpson's
