AMERICAN DIPLOMACY.
Mr. Hlaino's second dispatch to
Minister Cotnley at Jlonolulu is in
sorno respects a remarkable state
paper. It is well worthy of tlio care
ful attention of ell those who desire
nn enlightened conprehcnnion of the
policy of this government towards
the question of
foreign powcra upon
their relations to the Atlantic ntid
I'ncifio coast lino. Mr. Ulnino takes
the broadest ground in vindication of
the American system.
The Monroe doctrine is asicrtcd
nnd maintained in all its pristine vigor
and courage. No interference can bo
permitted by any foreign power , : to
by all of them , with the present atatui
of all these islands that bo within the
reach of the American system alont ,
our Atlantic or Pacific borders. Mr
Evart'u letter , declining the pro-
'erred agreement of the European
lowers , binding the parties thereto
lot to move towards the occupation o ;
Cub.i , is quoted and confirmed. The
Hawaiian islands nro declared to bear
the aaiiio relation to the maritime ou
promacyof the Pacific seas ua Cuba
Joes to the Atlantic waters. They
ire botli the gates of the American
system on cither aide , and as Cuba
must como into that system , either as
in integral part or by way of a pro
lectorato in cnso it falls away from itn
present control by the Spaniard , so
.ho llawaiian islands must not bo auf
'ored to pasa under Mongolian ether
> thor influences , through the process
if emigration or in any ether way. .
Clio largo increase and marvelous ad-
anco in enterprise and industry ex
libitcd along the Pacific since the ac
[ uisitiou of California , and the im-
tortant commerce created and sup
lortod between these islands
nd the United States are
tatcd with a decisive pride
it the natural domination of the
Lincrican character. Miniator Comly
i unmistakably advised that the
Lincricim republic looka with some
nxicty to the possible influences that
lay arrest or diminish the American
Lipreinacy in the Sandwich Islands r.s
ell as along this entire coast lino.
This dispatch hnn the true American
ing and cannot bo read without that
tir in the blood that Bignulizca the
nich of our national prido. Wo
tank Mr. Dlaino for thin gallant and
iatcsmanliko assertion of our national
urposo , pluck and policy. Cuba , if
ot Spanish , then American , and
lough Spanish still clearly within the
ulius of the American system and
oyond the reach of any European
rm , however poworfnl It may be.
ho isthmus and itn proposed canal is
ayond any European control or in-
ucncc.
So , too , Mr. Comly , are the Ha-
uiian Islands and you mu&t BOO to it
lat the American , oyatcm aud'ers no
Diriment thcro. This is the epitome
t this dispatch and thin is talking
gltt oub in meeting , as an American
.atcsnnu should never hesitate to do.
ON the first Monday of July of each
jar the board of education is requir-
1 by law to elect a superintendent of
iiblic instruction. The board in com-
lianco with this law on last Monday
octcd Mr. Fit zpat rick , at present
ipeiintondent at Louvonworth , and
irmorly assistant superintendent at
t. Louin to that position. Wo are
mured that the object of the board
to raise the standard of our public
shools , which ia certainly desirable ,
[ r. Lane is not removed , nor does
lis change reflect upon hia atanding.
ho board simply believe that Mr.
itzpatriclc who in a man of greater
xpeiicnco as an organizer and pon-
; cae3 superior qualifications will make
nr public schools inoro cflioiont than
ley now are. In ether words , the
yard has done what any business
lan might do when his contract with
i employee expired. They have
lought best not to renew the con-
act , but to employ another whom
loy believe to bo efficient. It very
cquently happens that a good ualco-
tun or book-keeper is supcreecoded
y what the merchant believes to bo
butter one , The chnngo doca not

trough a party whom ho beliovoa
lore capable.
Uv the recent ofllcial count there
ro over twelve and one-half million
f voters in the United States , Only
ine million of votes were cast in the
is * , general election , That exhibits
lirco million of men over the voting
go , who declined the inalienable priv-
lego , The halt , the lame , the sick ,
lie blind and others whoso years and
ifirmilica delayed or debarred their
ay to the palls , would detract from
lie number of the ditonchantcd , but
et the record still shown an enormous
imy of voters , that refuse to do their
ijuaro duty aa citizoiiB. Now in a
opublio , the ballot SB the keystone of
ho arch , Upon it supremely rests
lillar and architruvo and dome. Upon
t , depends the pure and efficient ad-
niniatration of our public affairs and
> i eoinu measure , the successful con-
uet of our privatu interests. And it
> not a favorable sign of that pro-
iiund concern in our institutions
Inch should distinguish the Amori-
an citizen that such widespread
cglect should cripple the finest ele
ment of our national progress and
prosperity ard "throw n pearl away ,
richer than all ita tribe. "
A VIEW OF THE SOUTHERN
ISSUE.
The general situation in the south
ern states , with its largo political in
fluence , must necessarily provoke
attention and solicitude. The true
secret of that situation is not alto
gether detected in the moving inci
dents of flood and field which have
made histoty so fast in the last quar
ter of a century.
It ia inoro easily found iu the habit
to which a previous century had edu
cated the southern people. Had the
transition been natural not forced
there would bo neither anxiety nor ,
embarrassment in the question and ita
issue. The south held to the indi
viduality nnd autonomy of the states
as against the national idea. Tin'
doctrine became the custom of it
public thought at the suggestion o :
slavery. When that institution , in
tcrtwined with every fibre ot southon
life , grow into its very existence , thai
doctrine atrongthoond into a palitica
necessity. The danger was that th
republican party , elevating the natior
above the state , would bo controlled
by anti slavery men , and wipi
out the institution. Under Urn
fear , the south became aolid bcforo
the war , desperately , viciously , ferociously
ciously solid , They are a people witl :
the hot sun in their blood and run to
extremes. They regretted the admis
sion that slavery was a necessary cvi
and declared it a divine inspiration.
They wanted to have the teat of the
country that questioned it. Whoi
: orcod by the aword to abolish slavery
ihey expressly declared in their con
mentions , that they did so , because
hey could not help it. " The nation
rood the alavo and gave him the
jallot for liia self-protection. Then
ho south professed loyalty , but
indor the plea of white civihz.i- .
.ion against African barbarism , BUS-
, ained in part by some republican
nisrulc , they made local war on the
'roedman , his ballot and his friends
ind murdered them right under the
lose of General Grant. They appro
vriatod the thirty congressmen
hat represented the freed-
nan , and under the old plea
if n divine mission to protect anglo
ivilization in the couth against the
hoory that the majority must rule ,
hough that majority bo expressed in
ho colored vote , they stood aolid
nco more with the democratic
tarty against the national supremacy ,
indicated by our best blood as the :
hiofcst fruit of the war. Before the war
hey wore solid , and declared that
heir homo rule and civilization de-
nandcd that they should stand by
lavory , and it took ten thousand na
ional cannons to knock that notion
) ut of them. So no tv they are solid
tnd declare that the came homo rule
nul the same civilization require ' .hat
hey should stand by the doctrine that
ho majority , if expressed in the col-
ircd republican vote , must not and
hall not rulo. Within tlio past two
vooks Wade Ilampton has written a
otter , declaring tlut on this main is
uo "ho who ia not with ua ia against
IB , " and no matter what Mahono may
o in Virginia on a side issue , the con
lict between the solid south and the
mtion on the question of the suffrage
whether a majority that the federal
onatitution accepts as legitimate shall
ulo ia aa irreproaiablo nnd inevitable
a wno the matter of slavery and so-
casion. Can the nation enforce
n honest count of the vote
if its citizens in a state that
ofusea to pnrinit it ? This is one
low of the political situation , and it
nay bo interesting to look at from
very point of the compass.
Tin' political outlook in Ohio ia not
ncouraging for republican success
his year. To all appearance the con
eat looka like n fight about beer and
ithor internal improvements , but ia
oality as usual it ia a big light for
illico between factions in the rnpubli
an party. Governor Foster for in
tanoe keep ] awake at night in hope
if becoming the successor of "Gen-
Icman Gcorgo Pendlcton. " Other
nen of note are trimming their sails
o boat Foster in the race. In the
trugglo between the factions .
ind in the contest over the
iquor traffic the party ia all torn up.
iesidcs all this there ia a deep-seated
eeling among Ohio republicans that
.he administration ia far from follow-
ng the footsteps of Cariiold. The
nasa feel indifferent about the out-
; omo of the elections , and thousands
will doubtless stay at homo and by
10 doing allow their dissatisfaction
with the existing atuto of things. So
ho chances are that the democrats
will carry Ohio in October.
DUUINQ the firat month of General
Glarfiold'a administration a commission
was appointed to represent the United
States at the international conference ,
o establish a uniform money medium.
Among the members of this confer
ence were some of the most eminent
American statesmen , including Wil-
inin M. Evartaond Ex-Senator Thur-
nan. It was expected that the con.
orouco would ngreo upon a standard
it which gold and silver should bo-
some the money metals of all civil-
zed nations. Tlio conference
net in Paria in the spring of 1881 and
after an earnest nnd thorough discus
sion of the problem adjourned with
out any decision to the 12th of April ,
1882 , When that day came the mem-
bora of the conference failed to put in
an appearance and thus the movement
for a v bi metallic money system has
temporarily ended in smoke. Whether
the present administration will make
any effort to revive the subject remains -
mains to ho seen. The pressure of
Wall street always hna been nnd is
now against silver a a money me
dium. Aa the greatest producer of
silver , the UnitedStatcp , ore materially
interested in placing silver where it
was tor centuries as one of the money
metals.
SENATOH LOOAX delivered a Fourth
of July oration to the Methodists
assembled at Lake Bluff , Illinois. The
senator took occasion to defend his
bill for devoting the internal revenue
from the whisky tax to educational
purposes , The Methodist ministers
present did not know what to mnko
of the scnart/B bold utterances , but
wo presume that thcro is something
inoro in the scheme than nppcara on
the surface. There is a struggle now
going nn between certain statesmen
in congress as to the proposed reduc
tion or abolitition of the whisky
tax , and it oooms to ua that
if the income from whisky was
diverted and act apart especially for a
national Hyotcm of education , the
problem with which the ultra-protec
tionists nro wrestling would bo solved.
As long as the income from whisky
cloga up our treasury there is nn incentive
contivo for a reduction of duties on
imports. Such a reduction would
materially affect the manufacturing
monopolies ; hence the high tariff lend-
era in congress are constantly trying
to reduce the internal revenue tax.
They have already succeeded
in abolishing a portion of thcso taxes
on tobacco and cigars , ntid unless
Bomo such schema as that championed
by Senator Logan goea through they
will sooner or later cut down if not
altogether abolish the entire system
of internal revenue taxation. This is
the milk in the cocoanut.
If the whisky tax can bo set apart
For education or any other purpose
not already embraced within the pres
ent schedule of government expense ,
the high tariff men will have no fear
D a reduction of import duties , and
tlio special pets ot Gen. Logan , the
, 'rand army of revenue officials , will
feel safe in their places.
THE republican state central com
mittee have designated Omaha as the
ilaco for holding the state convention ,
ind September 20th aa the date of the
meeting. With her improved rail
road facilities and her enlarged hotel
iccorc yi ° dation Omaha possesses nn-
'f ( h , i e
rivnj * Yij5vauaSC3 * or the holding of
coming con-
bo the gioatcav political
ropreiontitivo body that has over con
vened in this stato. Apart from these
talegntca there will bo a largo atton-
janco from every section of the state
to witness the struggle for power and
place. The date is somewhat later
than it should have boon , and it may
proof embarrassing if not disastrous
to the party to have the convention
put off BO far.
Horace Qreoloy Reminiscences.
The recent sudden death of Mrs ,
Nicholas Smith ( Ida Crrpeloy ) haa re
vived anew the extraordinary interest
that was felt in all that concerned the
great founder of The Tribune. She
was a pleasant and intelligent lady
who might have had a very conspicu-
3us social life if her reticence had not
made "a career" distasteful to her.
As it was , she preferred to stay at
tiomo and transfer her social duties
ind privileges to her younger sister ,
Uabriello. She never ceemed to enjoy
exhibiting her talented nnd handgomo
msband , "Col. Nich , " as a woman
ktnbitioua of social distinction would
: iavo dono. "You ought to bo a happy
nan to have such a woman to show off
w your own , " the Prince of Wales is
reported to hayo said to Mr. Litifjtry.
\nd the complimented proptiotor
Dlushod ambiguously and shrugged hia
moulders. So Mrs. Smith may not
lave enjoyed it to have her liege lord
; ho objeot of ao much admiration. 1
lo not know. It is merely a hypoth
esis.
esis.The other day I pasped into the lit
tle wire cage that T. N. Rjoker and
Cashier Tuttle have built around
them in The Tribune counting room ,
.waiting the completion of the great
addition to the building this summer ,
Mr. Tuttle haa been in Ufa present
pliico for years , and Mr. Hooker is the
. > ld foreman of the composing room
ind helped "Jay" the type with which
the first copy of The Tribune waa
printed , a little moro than forty-ono
peara ago , When Mr , Koid came into
possession of the paper after the death
af Mr. Grcoloy , tnero was a readjust
ment , in which several who had
served the paper faithfully for many
years were uiven an annuity , or pen-
lion , for lite , amounting to about
52,000 a year whether they worked or
not. Mr. Charles 'i' . Oongden was one
of tliono. Mr. Honker , I believe , was
another. Mr. Congden"reaigned" his
pondon recently though what could
liappen to cause n man to reaign such
i unique imd peculiar source of income
[ cannot imagine. Mr. Hooker tits
tiero in the counting room , an impor
tant factor in the publication of the
paper.
"How d'd ' you happen to join Mr ,
jrocloy BO early ? " I inquired of him.
"It was nmro accident than inten-
: ion , " lie said , "I was a Jjour1 and I
! amo to the city , and hadt QOCII eub-
jiugnll nround hero tryinlo got a
; oed case. I subbed on The Sun ,
vhioh waa located right where wo ait
low , on thin very corner. I subbed
m The Herald. Groeley had boon
mining iiia Jeifo onian , the first
campaign paper over started in this
country. Then , for the Harrison
c.impaig.1 , ho started The Log Cabin.
That had a tremendous dale. Then ho
borrowed some money to statt The
Tribune. I rnot him on the street ,
and ktrOwitiR him pretty well I sab :
'Mr. Greoley , I understand you are
going to start a new paper. ' Yes , ho
slid , ho was. I told him I wanted n
caso. 'Seo Jim Mix , ' ho said ; 'he's to
bo my foreman. ' I went to Mix , 'Tho
slate's full , " ho answered , 'but
you shall have the firat
vacancy. ' Ho remembered me ,
for about 2 o'clock in the morning of
the 8th of April , 1841 , this was ho
came into the office of The lleraH ,
where I wae subbing , and asked mo if
I could help him , aaying , "Tom , wo'ro
going to lay typo to-morrow for The
Tribune. Wo want you early. ' I
agreed to it , and to bo sure of being
on hand I didn't go to bed , I lay
down on n lounge at homo for an
hour , look a snack nnd started for < M
Ann street , where The Tribune wai to
ba issued. I got there at 7 o'clock in
the morning and was the first one
there. Picsently a young man canii
a bright-eyed fellow with smooth
dark hair , who looked as if he had
day's works in him , Uo wheeled a
old table nround to a window an
wont to writing. It was Henry J
Raymond , assistant editor , who had
been on The Now Yorker witi
Greeloy. Our composing room wa
on the third floor , and th
three or four editors penned them
Eclvca oil from us in a little place nl
the end. Shea was proof reader -
father of the present JudtjoShea Ho
was a true Irish gentleman and n pee
of some ability. Well , wo all worked
hard and in a somewhat chaotic fashior
that- day , and at 4 o'clock in th
morning of the next day , April 10
the first form of The Tribune was
lowered to the press in the basement.
There is the paper. " Ho handed mo
'
th'o first volume of The Tribune and
I turned to the firat number. It was
almost half aa largo aa the current
Tribune , and had moro than half as
much matter in it , That is , it
had four pagea , each of them
nearly as largo aa the present
ones. The editorials were in non
pareil and the advertisements in
ugato quite small typo. The money
market and commercial report occu
pied one-fourth of n column. The
startling nowa in the paper were the
announcements of the death of Presi
dent Harrison a week before , and his
funeral four days before. Among the
columns of advertisers there was not
one name known to this generation ,
llulso advertised hia dry goods. Feaao
uccupied half a column with his
candy. There vas a notice of Arctu-
rus , a literary newspaper. The pub
lishing business was represented by
13. T. Trovott. Then there were dia-
[ > laya in behalf of window-glass , book-
xeeping , tailoring , the Connoisseur's
; oap and Swan's atmospheric soda
fountain.
"Tho Tribune did not meet with
many obstacles ? " I suggested.
' On , no , " naid Mr. Hooker , "it
throve from the firat week. It paid
right straight along. Greoley paid all
liis bills , returned the money lin had
borrowed , and then gotanotion ( from
liis .socialistic stii.ios ] , no doubt ) that
it waa at once hia duty and hia inter
est to take in as pirtncra all those who
had conspicuously aided the paper. I
had become foreman a little while after
the puper atarted , nt the instance of
M.IX , who wanted a lesa responsible
place. The men designated to have
otoek in the corporation were Bayard
Taylor , who was city editor ; Charies
A. Duii ; , who waa the managing edito'r ;
RaymondMr. Itipley , myself andsomo
others. Wo were to have stock as
signed to ua and piy for it > out of the
dividends. I refused to taVo it that
way , because I did not want to bo un-
Jcr.obliga.tion for what I couldn't ' pay
for. uut I took four shares , and Col.
Hoe lout mo the money to pay for
them The debt was soon paid. Dana
won then in Europe , looking after the
German revolution ( in 1848) ) , and Mr.
Greoloy moved that ten shares'bo aot
apart tot him on his return. It was
90 voted. Mr. Dana took five of the
shares , which apoedily paid for thom-
jolvea from the accruing dividends ,
ind gave him a surplus of tens of
thouflanda of dollars. Ho waa a great
managing editor , and wo were sorry
to have him go.
"How came ho to leave The Tri
bune ? "
"Ilia unnecessary and indiacrcot
persistency in sticking to one idea
ia ho sticks to his derision of 'Dea-
: on Smith' and Ohilda long after the
original cause of the lampoon must
lave disappeared. 'Along in May ,
1801 , our armies assembled rapidly in
Virginia , and Mr. Greelcy , in one of
us short , impatient editorials , ox-
; lalmcd , 'Now , on to Richmond ! '
Mr. Dana took up the cry and rung
.hochangea on it f romday to day 'On
: o Richmond ! ' short editorials scat-
; ored all about. They made a great
) xcitoment nnd they seriously etubar-
raised the administration. Lincoln
ind Stanton complained to us of the
On to Richmond1 cry. Mr , Grcoloy
: ried to got Mr. Dana to drop it for a
imu , or use it lesa frequently ,
, mt ho was headstrong and un
manageable , and ho still echoed it.
Uo did BO in goodfaith and most earn-
: atly , but it made mischief. It raised
.ho clamor for a forward movement ,
ivhioh resulted in the disastrous bat-
: lo of Bull Run. 'If wo dott't prick
Jiem up'said Dana , 'they'll lie there
ind rot. ' But vhon they c.imo stain-
Coding from Bull Run , wo were
imaged and seriously injured. Hun-
ireds of subscribers a day loft ua.
Die board of stockholders demanded
.hat Mr. Dana should no longer be
managing editor. Wiion Mr , Grcoloy
innouncod our action to him , lie waa
t'ory angry and left the paper , iudig-
lantly declining to remain as editorial
ivriter. If ho could bo kept from
managing the editor-in-chief and the
Dwnons , ho would make n model man-

A apccial reporter of THE Bin : lof
Omaha on the . ' ! rd of July for Nort
Platte , one of the most liva and cner
gotie towns on the U. P. , arrivin
there on the morning of the Fourth
The place was found alive to th
importance of the occasion , nnd it
full trim to cclobratn the nation'i
anniversary.
At 10:30 : thcro waa n regular atrco
parade , the programme having beei
duly arranged bofora hand. The pro
cession was a line one , includ
ing the band , the G. A.
R , , r. number of Sunday-school chil
dren , and a long line of citizens nnd
visitors in carriages.
Hon. W. F. Cody acted aa marsha
of the day , ably assisted by Mr. Coi
Gronor , the well-known sheriff of this
county.
Mr. Cody was reaplondont in a suit
of white corduroy pants , black velvet
coat of military cut , etc , and was
strikingly handsome.
The procession was marched to the
race track , about half a mile from the
town and a regular programme of
speaking and singing was gene through
with.
Following this cimo a moat inter
esting feature of the day. Hon. M.
C. Keith hud four or five buffalo , one
with n calf , which ho turned loose and
one ot the boys lassoed and rode an
animal for which ho received $25
After thia n Texas steer waa turned
loose , which was also lassoed and rid
den to its great disgust.
In the afternoon there were trot-
Ling and running races , the horses
antered being these of Messrs' . J. S
Mitlor , M. 0. Keith , Iko Dillon and
W. F. Cody. There were nlao run-
ling races of one hundred , three hun
dred and six hundred yards and a half
mile race.
At night there was a fine display of
iroworks and the G. A. II. ball , both
> f which were largely attended.
Notwithstanding the immense
: rowd , the utmost order and quiet
prevailed , and not a single occurrence
o mar the pleasure of the occasion
, ras noted.
On the following morning the nplen-
lid ranch of Hen. W. F. Cody wna
nailed and the line brood mares
ooked at. A visit was uho paid to
3on. Groner'u ranch , stopping at Alil-
er's ranch on the way to look at
mo of the finest lot of horses
n the west. A splendid time was had
) ii the way , though one of the horaes
jave out on the return trip and it ba-
: um9 necessary to trade and bring in ; v
'resh team.
North Platte ia a live and energetic
: own , and a Rood place to go to.
Messrs. Cody , Groner and Dillon are
; ho pillars of the placa , and to them it
jwes an immense debt of gratitude for
is business importance.
The principal mishap of the day oc-
jurred when Iko Dillon , in trying to
lump from a fence , tpr.iined hia
inkle.

A Philanthropist Dished.
It waa a pathetic incident : Tito el-
lorly gentleman was walking down
1'enth atreot when the wail of a ten-
ler youth who had fallen on the side
walk nnd broken the crockery in his
linner pail smote upon his ear.
Never mind my little lad , are you
nuch hurt ? " naked the benevolent
; reyboard. "Xo , air ; I'm tut hurt , "
oplied the youngster. "Then why
lo you ory ? " "Because I'll git licked
dien I go homo. " "Well , well , my
joy ; go and buy another plato and
: up and your mother won't know the
lilferonco , " uaid philanthropy aa ho
mudud the lad : i silver token. The

liainnl howl than before. 'TJ1 git
iked all the name boo-boo ! " "Wny

'Causo you give mo ten cants and tlm
acker I picked up yesterday giva iuu
ifty cents ! " The venerable philan-
hropist strode nlonu mus'intr.
