THE National Republican commit
tee will meat In Washington on tbi
12th of December next , to fix the date
and place for holding the president ! *
convention of 1884
GENERAL HOWARD IB "getting ac
quainted with his department" in the
Yellowstone park , just at present
lunch biskets and fishing poles bolnj
the principal means used in thla ae <
rlous undertaking.
ONE mo of the star ronto trials hai
boon to domonatrato to the countrj
the Integrity of the administration.
The republican party have probed a
good many nloors. Unfortunately
they have had a good many to probe ,
THERE are several conjectures re
garding the came of the failure of the
tar ronto prosecutions , but the most
reasonable li that they were killed bj
too much talk. The wind storm that
blow for over twelve months in Wash
ington was enough' ' to destroy an ;
case.
GENERAL CnooKhaa got his Indiana ,
and the question which now agitates
the war department la how it ahall
dispose of thorn.
Secretary Teller deolinoa the present
with thanks , and Agent Wlloox , at
San Oarloa , politely asks to bo ex <
oused.

THE president ts having another bed
ot thorns prepared for him. For the
put two weeks ho has baon wrestling
with the internal revenue question
and how to reduoo the the number of
districts. Now cam03 in a plan to
consolidate the custom housoi into a
fewer nnmber. Tao usnal howl goes
ap , and Pullman cars are crowded
with the faithful hurrying to Wash
ington to p rry the expected blow. It
is such a condition of affairs that Icado
the Chicago ITcroW to remark ; "Wo
would rather bo named Wright BOW
than be known as the president. "
SENATOR [ BECK'S PREDIC
TION.
Senatpr Beck , in A aparm. of sound
Common some , has Informed hit party
that the democracy la now on trial
and probably for the last time. "The
majority of the people of the United
Statesaold the senator to a New
York reporter , " o tired of what
you might call republican boseUm ,
but don'i think that we , the demo
crata , can bo trusted. Wo have a
majority of the next congress , and
the result will depend upon what wo
do , If wo organ23 ! and go honestly
to work to legislate for the good of
the whole country , put down monop
olies without disturbing Industry ,
carry a genuine reform of the civil
aervioo into effect , and keep clear of
the Idea that power la to bo used only
to reward political friends , wo will
elect the next president. "
There la a bushel of gospel truth in
Mr. Beck's view of the situation. The
people of the United States are not
yet ready to trust the democracy.
They are beginning to distrust very
eilously the republican party. Bois-
Ism and arrogance in the party leader ,
hip , a shameful disregard of public
eontiment , and an attempt to use the
party organization simply for the re
wards of party , caused the - overwhelming
whelming defeat of the republicans
last fall in their strongholds , and the
election of a democratic bouse with an
unprecedented majority. That was
la an off year. It will
depend entirely upon the con
duct of the democracy doting
the next aeulon of congress whether
the republican defeat of 1882 Is to re
peated In 1884 ,
' What the people ask of the demo
cratic party is achievement not prom
ises. Political promises are eailly
made. They are oven mete easily
broken. If the bourbon loaders hnpo
' to'cipture the White Home next year ,
they must begin by reforming them-
elves and their p rty'beforojthey will
be afforded a chance to reform the
government.
OUR DIVORCE LAWS.
Tbo case of Major Nlekoraon hi
attracted attention anew to the laxil
of the lawa governing divorces In tt
United Slates. Msjor NIckeraon wi
*
a man or ability and stood high In h
profession. Ho lived happily wit
his wlfoi for ton years , and then , i
hundreds of other married men do , h
became tired of the union and desire
a change. At thla point , whore th
latr of the land ought to have prove
an Insurmountable obstacle to th
dlsiolutlon of his marriage ties
Major Nlokorson found i :
It a willing helper. Ilavln
aent his wlfo off to Europe and fol
.lowed her with aifectionato letters t
disarm suspicion , ho Instituted pro
coodlngs for dlvorco in a Philadolphl
court , alleging desertion aa the gronm
of his petition , Notice of his inton
tlon waa published according to th
requirements of the law , but was hii
from sight In an obscnro papoi
and no defense being made
after the nsnal interval , th
major was granted hla rcquoi
and a decree of absolute dlvorco It
sued. Within two wooka Majo
Nlokorson had married a young girl ii
Waablngton , taken her to the hone
formerly occupied by hla lawful wlf
and thought himself secure In hla noi
relation. Every provision of the lai
had boon complied with , the proceed
Ings were all regular on their face , bn
behind the cover of legal forma fraui
and perjury bad boon masked at over ;
atop. It needed nothing bnt the return
turn of the defrauded woman and ho :
sworn toatlmony in the court room t <
re-open the ease , annul the decree anc
to send Major NIckeraon a fugitivi
from justice and his homo.
The Nickorson dlvorco case la an
fortunately only a typo of hundreds
which every year are rnshod through
our courts , with no better reasons foi
the dissolution of the marrlago bondo
In our own state the growing Increase
In the nnmber of divorces has alrcadj
boon commented upon In these col
nmns. The laxity of our laws placet
a constant premium on family differences
onces , and offers strong Incentives tt
marital Infidelity. Divorces nro madi
oven easier than marriage * ; the ro <
strlctlons against fraud nro ao allgh
aa to amount to practically nothing ,
and if the wlfo Is too ignorant or too
meek to assort her rights as Mis ,
Nlokoraon boa done , the gravest of In
justices is perpetrated by the helping
hand of our judicial machinery , as
slsted by dishonest plaintiff ] and pet
tifogging end unscrupulous attorneys.
There are several changes that
might 1)3 made with profit in our dl-
corco lawa. Personal oorvlao on the
iefondant , where poeslblo , should * ba
required , and where ouch eorvloa is
not poEsiblo , repeated publication in
journals of wldo circulation nnd
loknowlodgcd atandlucfought to bo in
sisted upon. The ufliibvlta of the
petitioners should bo made aomolhlug
moro than a moro form , and heavy
penalties ought to bo provided for
Fraud In.noourlntj the docrtc. Finally
the time of rjaldouco in the atito re
paired before bringing suit ought to
DO extended to ono year. That would
prevent the emigration to Nebraska of
icoros of men who como hero every
rear with no other view than that of
; ottlng a secret dlvorca In the quickest
> ossiblo time for opot cash ,
THE Glolc'Dcmocrat soys : "It Is
musing to note the rap.'dlty ' with
fhloh the problem of the Fort Nlo-
itara alleged tar route fraud is as-
nmed to bo disposed of by aomo porous
ous in Washington. The fact having
eon disclosed that there la a bitter
end between Senator Van Wyok and

lOSod that the whole matter is satis-
aotorlly explained , and that It may be
Iroppod. The average Washington
alnd Is content to stop bore. The
object is exhausted. But the people
rho eire nothing at all about the mo-
tves which led Senator Van Wyck to
nako bla charges , are simply Inter-
tsted in knowing whether the charges
ire true or not , and insist upon being
nformed.

$0,000,000 $ , and his heirs have agreed

OTHEH UVNDB THAN OURS-

no end of Ill-feeling among tbe Catholic

gorcrnmint li prohibited , ho rcfutod't
front what tbe chancellor atked of him-
namely , to recognize the authority of tb
government to demand official informutlo
concerning chuich appointment ! . A
usnal , bo was willing to take bnt not I

tweon the clericals anil conservatives folio
correspondingly , and the chancellor
scheme to put through the biennial budge

doomed to defeat , 1'hen he resorted t
a characteristic stroke of polloj
lie had a bill Introduced In the Prut
slan Landtag now sitting , embodying a !
those features of the compromlte which h
had offered to the Pope , without inslitin
upon or waiting for the concession he ha
asked of the church. The prets organ c
the Vatican declared at once , as well I
might , that this was exceedingly izratlfj
ing , and the clerical force In the Helen
stag , being now reasonably sure to obtnl
for tbo church moit of the things tho.
contended for without any condition *
showed thomiolves willing to reward th
Cnancollof with their votes. Prince Bis
marck at the same time declared that th
Kelchstng wonld be dissolved unless th
budret was taken up for consideration 01
a given day , thus trying to frighten weak
kneed Liberals. The result we find In th
passage of the budget and the adjuurnmen
of the Imperial parliament.
In the Lindtag tbe first three clauses I
the church bill have been accepted and th >
measure will probably pass almost In it
entirety. The enter teem satisfied witl
the poiltlon of the government toward thi
church , and Kme ia reported as grontl ]
pleased with the change In the Imperla
programme. The bill is stated by th
minister of public instruction to bo at
earnest endeavor on the part of the government
ornment to ascertain whether it is posalbli
to maintain peace between the church am
the fltato.

In ppllo cf the assertion of Li Chu Ilong
hat China la not meditating war , propara-
ions for a conflict with the Flowery
Ciogdom go on apace in French ( armories

iranted that the asierlton of French
uraralnty over Tonqulu will be followed
iy a rupture with the great eastern power.
ilx thousand men are In camp at Toulon ,
eady to embark for the east as soon as
ransports are fitted up for them. The
Trench fbat Is also under orders to sail at

and , assumes the Tonquln expedition to
e t , menace to its sovereignty. Fighting
aay.begtn before a formal declaration of
lostillties has been Isiued. There is good
cason to believe that if the worst comes
o worst , and the war actually
reaks out , the French will not
ind their campaign against tbe Chinese
'A picnic. " One of the advocates
f peace In the Clumber made a strong
lolnt upon this consideration In a recent
obate. The Chinese ot to-day , ho said ,
reio not like the Chinese of 1800 , and tno
xplclts of Franco in that year could not
0 repeated In 1833 with a few regiments
nd a dozen gunboats. The passace of the
'ol-Ho ia now defended by Krupp gnus ,
nd the Chinese artillerymen have been In
truded by European olficera. Indeed ,
Europeans and Americans have been of-
erod important'commands in tbe Chinese
rmy. The Chinese believe they can blp
ny force likely tote sent against them ,
nd It Is certainly true that tbe French
iave underestimated tbe fighting strength
f China , just as Great Britain and every
ther civilized nation underrates the mar-
lal power of barbarous or half-civilized
pponenta. In China-the French will labor
nder tbe disadvantages inseparable from
1 campaign thousandi of miles from home.
U for tbe Chinese , tbo weakness of their

.ranee . to a suecesatal resistance.
In Norway and Sweden the ministerial

General Orook has fully vindicated
he confidence which Qrant and Sher-
mn and , it may bo added , the conn-
ry generally reposed in him , by
ringing his own command out of the
lexlcan mountains intact and vlotorl-
us , and with them , also welcome , an
Imost equal number of Indian prla-
nfre.
General Orook Is the hardest and
test suojecslnl of Icdlan fighters , and
ot no man haa moro feelingly do-
onnced the wretchea duplicity of the
pvernmont's action toward the In-
tans , or exproasod moro faith in the
aocesa of a policy of truth and gener
ally looking to the ultimate clvlllu-
on of all the tribes. The Apaches ,
horn General Orook has just been
ghtlntr , are reckoned the most
rod and treacherous tribe among the
: d man ; and yet three fourths of
rook's own foroo were Apaches , and
irved him with perfect good faith
ad loyalty. They might , at any
lament while ho was in the monn-
iln defiles , have killed every white
iau lu the command , Had they
ono so , the fact wonld not have boon
nown far months , and tbolr ciptnro
nd punishment would have been im-
robablo.
It Is clear that General Orook based
is expedition on his complete faith in
io loyalty of his Indian allied , and
foneral Miles tells uj that they have
ever been known to break faith nn-
er similar circumstances. Theoo facts
ught to ho sufficient proof to satisfy
onprceu that the Indian character
irnlshcB.a basis to build clyillsttlon
pen , and'ought to indnco a larger and
lorn liberal pursuit of the experiment
