and place for holding the presidential
convention of 1884
GENERAL HOWARD IB "getting ac
quainted with his department" In the
Yellowstone park , just at present
lanch baskets and fishing poles being
the principal means nacd in this se
rious undertaking.
ONE use of the star route trials has
boon to demonstrate to the country
the integrity of the administration.
The republican party have probed a
good many nioors. Unfortunately
they have had a good many to probe.
THERE are several conjectures re
garding the canae of the failure of the
tar route prosecutions , bnt the moat
reasonable it that they wore killed by
too much talk. The wind storm that
blow for over twelve months in Wash *
Ington was enough to destroy any
case.
GENERAL 0HOOK has got his Indians ,
and the question which now agitates
the war department is how it shall
dispose of thorn.
Secretary Teller declines the present
with thanks , and Agent Wlloox , at
Ban Oarloa , politely asks to bo cx >
cuacd.
Meantime General Crook la waiting
instructions and feeding sorao throa
hundred equawo , old bucks and
papooses on the line of the railroad ,
while the Wandering Juh ia etlll oklp-
ping festively nmonu the peaks of the
Sierra Midro mountains.
TUB president Is having another bad
ot thorns prepared for him , For the
put two weeks ho has baou wrestling
with the internal revenue question
and how to redaoo the the number of
districts. Now aainos in a plan to
consolidate the custom houses into a
fewer number. Tao usual howl goes
up , end Pullman cars are crowded
with the faithful hurrying to WashIngton -
Ington to parry the expected blow. It
Is such a condition of nffilrs that Icado
the Chicago UtraW to remark ; "Wo
would rather bo named Wright now
than bo known as the president. "

Spnatpr Bopk , In K aparm of sound
common Bonao , ha Infotmod his party
that the demooraoy la now on trial
and probably for the last time. "The
majority of the people of the United
Statesaald the senator to a Now
York reporter , "are tired of what
yon might call republican bouUm ,
bat don't think that We , the demo
orats , o n bo trusted. Wo have a
mijorlty of the next congreaa , and
the result will depend upon what wo
do , If wo organza ! and 30 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
sorvlco Into effect , and keep clear of
the Idea that power Is tu bo used only
to reward political friends , wo will
elect the next president. "
There Is 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
seriously the republican party , BOBS-
Ism and arrogance In the party leader-
hip , a shameful disregard of public
sentiment , 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 bouao with an
unprecedented majority. That was
la an off year. It will
depend entirely upon the con
duct of the democracy dating
the next session of congress whether
the republican defeat of 1882 Is to ro *
peatedln884
' What the people ask of the demo

OUR DIVORCE X./1X7B. /
The c&so of Major Nlckorson has
attracted attention anew to the laxity
of the laws governing divorces In the
United States. Major Nlokoraon waa
a man of1 ability and stood high in his
profession. Ho lived happily with
his wifai for ton years , and then , as
hundreds of other married men do , ho
became tired of the union and desired
a change. At this point , where the
lair of the land ought to have proved
an Insurmountable obstacle to the
dlsiolutlon of his marriage tics ,
Major Nlokorson found in
It a willing helper. Having
sent his wife off to Earopo and fol-
Jowod her with affectionate letters to
dliarm nasplclon , ho Instituted pro-
coodlngs for dlvorco In a Philadelphia
court , alleging desertion as the ground
of his petition , Notice of his inten
tion was published according to the
requirements of the law , but was hid
From sight in an obacuro paper ,
and no defense being made ,
after the nsnal Interval , the
major was granted his request
and a decree of absolute dlvorco Is
sued. Within two weeks Major
Nlokoraon had married a young girl In
Washington , taken her to the honeo
formerly occupied by his lawful wife
and thought himself secure In his now
relation. Every provision of the law
iad been complied with , the proceed
ings were all regular on their face , but
behind the eovor of legal forms fraud
and perjory bad boon masked at every
step. It needed nothing but the re
turn of the defrauded woman and her
sworn testimony in the court room to
ro-opon the case , annul the decree and
; o send Major Nickoraon a fugitive
from justice and hia homo.
The Nlakorson dlvorco case Is an *
fortunately only a typo of hundreds
which every year are rushed through
our courts , nlth no hotter reasons for
the dissolution of the marriage bonds.
Cn our own state the growing increase
In the number of divorces has already
boon commented upon In theao col
umns. The laxity of oar laws places
a constant premium on family differ
ences , and offers strong incentives tb
marital Infidelity. Divorces nro made
oven easier than marriages ; the re
strictions against fraud are so slight
as to amount to practically nothing ,
and If the wlfo is too ignorant or too
meek to assort her rights as Mia.
Nlokorsou has done , the gravest of in
justices is perpetrated by the helping
hand of our judicial maohtuory , as
sisted by dishonest plaintiff * and pet
tifogging end unscrupulous attorneys.
There are several changes that
might ba made with profit la our dl
vorco laws. Personal service on the
defendant , where potalblo , should ] ) ba
required , and where each eorvloa is
not possible , repeated publication in
iourunls of vrido circulation and
acknowledged atandlun'ou ht to bo in
sisted upon. The kftiisvlta of the
potltlonors should bo made something
moro than a more form , nnd heavy
penalties ought to bo provided for
[ rand in.soourlncf. the decree. Finally
the tlmo of rjaldonco in the state re
quired before bringing suit ought to
90 extended tb ono year. That would
prevent the emigration to Nebraska of
scores of men who como hero every
year with no other view than that of
letting n secret dlvoica In the quickest
jostiblo tlmo for opot oish ,
THE Glolc-ncmocrat ssys : "It is
amusing to note the rapidity with
whloh the problem of the Fort Nlo-
ttira alleged etar route fraud is as
sumed to be dUposod of by some per
sons In Washington. The fact having
been disclosed that there la a bitter
feud between Senator Van Wyok and
tlDprosnntatlvo Yalentlnoand the later -
; or being in some way instrumental
n starting the service , It is sup
posed that the whole matter Is satis
factorily explained , and that it may be
dropped. . The average Washington
mind Is content to stop bore. The
abject Is exhausted. But the people
who cue nothing at all about the mo
tives whloh led Senator Van Wyck to
make bis charges , are simply Inter
ested in knowing whether the charges
are true or not , and insist upon being
Informed ,
AuABA STONE'S estate foots up over
$0,000,000 , and Ills heirs have agreed
to remember several relatives who wore
forgotten In the will , It Is not hard
to bo a little generous with f 6,000,000.
HENRY WATTEBSON goes Into parox

OTHEK LANDS THAN OURS.
IMimnrck has again triumphed. The
llelchatag h s been prorogued , the scheme
of biennial budgets bus been passed , and
the Prince U left free to puriuo hia plans
of social reform unhampered by the threats
of the Imperial parliament that the ob-
tttiaoy of the chancellor would be met by
the withholding of lupplleJ , The bud
get for 1631-85 having been voted , Bis-
inarck will have no further use for parlia
ment until autumn.
The way In which he carried bis point [ a
ilgol&cant. For several years Prince Bl
inarck has beenendeavoring to compose , ty
a cbrnpromiBeVthe long-standing quarrel jj ( .
tweeu the pope and the Geitnan govern
ment , partly In order to stop the source of
no end of Ill-feeling among the Oathollo
population of Germany , and partly to
draw the clericals in the RdcbiUg and ( In
the Prusilan Landtig to hi * tide , hoping
that through a combination of the cleric tli
with the conservatives , bo could organize
In thono bodies a reliable majority for bl >
measurtu. But while the pope wag willIng -
Ing to accept what the chancellui
offered-namely , the repeal of that part o !
the celebrated 1'alk lawn , by which the
saying of mass and the dispensing of the
sacraments by priests not roognlred by the
gorerntnint it prohibited , ho rcfused'tc
f rant what the chancellor aiked of him
namely , to recognize the authority of the
government to demand official Information
concerning chuich appointment ) . Ae
usual , ho was willing to take but not to
give. The parliamentary combination be
tween the clericals anil conservatives fallcc
correspondingly , and th chancellorV
scheme to put through the biennial budgcl
at this session of the Ilelchstag liemec
doomed to defeat. 1'hon ho resorted tea
a characteristic stroke of policy.
lie had a bill introduced In the Prut-
elan Landtag now sitting , emhodytug all
those features of the comprnmlte which he
had ottered to the Pope , without insisting
upon or watting for the concession he hac
asked of tbo church , The pros organ ol
the Vatican declared at onte , as well II
might , that this WAB exceedingly gratify
ing , and the clerical force In the Helen-
stag , being now reasonably sure to obtain
for tbo church most of the things they
contended for without any condition * ,
showed themselves willing to reward the
Cnancollor with their votes. Prince Bis
marck at the tame time declared that the
Ilelchstag would be dissolved unless the
budret was taken up for consideration on
a given day , thus trying to frighten weak-
kneed Liberals. The result we find in the
passage of the budget and the adjournment
of the Imperial parliament. ,
In the Landtag the first three clauses If
the church bill have been accepted and the
measure will probably pass almost in its
eniirety. The enter teem satisfied with
the position of tbo government toward the
church , and Rime ia reported as greatly
pleased with the change In the imperial
programme. The bill la stated by the
minister of public instruction to bo an
earnest endeavor on the part of the gov
ernment to ascertain whether it ia possible
to maintain peace between the church and
the atato.
Parliament hid progroised smoothly in
Its work during the week. Tha corrupt
practice ] bill has pisnnd to tbo tbfrd readIng -
Ing ; the Kranls to General Wolsely nd
Admiral Seymour have been madtf , and
there have been no further evidences of
defections from the liberal majority or of
coalitions of the oppoalnir factions ,
whloh mtebt further weaken their
etienpth. The introduction of Mr. O'Oon-
nor'ii Irish labcrera' bill , whosa aim ia to

In cptto of the assertion of LI Chu Hong
hat China is not meditating war , propara-
Ions for a conflict with tha Flowery
iCtogdom go on apace la French [ armories
and ship-yard ) . It Is almost taken for
grinted that the aaiertlon of French
uzaralnty over Tonquin will be followed
> y a rupture with the great eastern nower.
3lx thousand men are In camp at Toulon ,
ready to embark for the cast as soon as
rausports are fitted up for them. The
French flaet la alao under orders to sail at
be earliest moment. China , on the other
tand , aatumei the Tonquin expedition to
> e s > menace to Its sovereignty. Fighting
nay.begln before a formal declaration of
hostilities has been Issued. There ia good
reason to believe that if the worst oomoa
, o worst , and the war actually
ireaks out , the French will not
Ind their campaign against the Chinese
'a picnic. " One of the advocates
of peace In the Clumber made a strong
point upon this consideration in a recent
debate. The Ohlneaa of to-day , ho said ,
woie not like the Chinese of I860 , and tno
exploits of France in that year could not
be repeated In 1883 with a few regiments
md a dozan gunboats. The pasaace of the
L'el-Uo la now defended by Krupp guns ,
and the Chlneaa artillerymen have been In
structed by European officers. Indeed ,
Europeans and Americans have been of-
'erod important commands in the Chinese
army. The Chlneie believe they can whip
any force likely to be sent against them ,
and It is certainly true that the French
iave underestimated the fighting strength
of China , juit as Great Britain and every
other civilized nation underrates the mar
tial power of barbarous or half-civilized
opponents. In China the French willUbor
under the disadvantages inseparable from
n campaign thousand ) of miles from home.
Aa for the Chinese , the weaknesi of their
finances Is likely to prove the preateit hin
drance to a sueceaital realitance.
In Norway and Sweden the ministerial
troubles have been tided over by the re-
mmptlon of their portfolios by the old mln-
try and n change In their prime minis-
ry. Other events of the weak are the
Birmingham celebration in honor of John
Bright , the explosion of a oowdar maga
zine at Scutari by which 150 pe gana lost
.heir llvns , and the connrmatlun of the
treaty of peace between Chill and Peru ,
Itither more serious dllflcuUIoi among
.ha Powers are threatened by the concen
tration of Itutsiau troops on the Turkish-
Armenian frontier , which is going on at a
ripld rate. It ia believed in the we t that
thu threatens some aggrowlve movement
on the part of Ruula , Stores nro being
collected at Kiis and other ooluta autli-
cient to niovlalon a force of J0.030 men ,
and the frontier forts have been Blocked
with more than the usual allowance of
ammunition and cannon , LUa ftdvicei
nay that the Porto haa oike < l tha R-BiUn
ambauador M Constantinople what tbeaa

equally 'extraordinary' answer was made
that "the Turklih frontier U in such a
lawleia condition that defensive precau
tions are absolutely necessary , " Per
contr * , n London newipaper which Is un
derstood to be Inspired from St. Peters
burg , lui published an elaborate article to
prove that the conquest of Tarklth-Ar.

possibility of English or German later ,

Qicen Victoria Is Indisposed by a bad
knee ; Emperor Wllllim by a falling mind.
The German monarch Is really so far inca
pacitated for business that Bltmarck Is
virtually sovereign. A regency won'd '

joys comparatively good bodily health , In
spite of hia advanced years , but ho it teen

cellor ia shrewd enough to take advantage
of hit Imperial master's condition , When
he wants to carry a point ho gets the old
man to give his assent to the scheme , al.
though It U often doubtful whether the
emparor really knows what he is about. It
la not difficult for Bismarck to secure in
this way royal messages or orders letting
forth only his own views. It la rumored

mall contracts with men under indict

Immoral language in defending his
coarao make It plain beyond argument
that he Is totally unfit to hold such a
trust as a government post of any
kind. A brief review of the facts
without any ornamentation will show
this to any ono whoso moral sense la
net tainted by the peculiar Infection
In the air of Washington , where the
petition of an Hi ier of the paoplo is
apparently songnt only to ba nsod
against the people and for the perver
sion of public opportunities to private
profit.
Since John R. Miner wai indicted
ho haa obtained seventeen contracts
from the pout officj authorities. In
most of these the surety whom the
post-oflico authorities have accepted is
Vallo , another defendant under In
dictment for criminal fraud. These
men nro not only liable to be sent to
the penitentiary , a place from which
ono would suppose it would ba diffi
cult for them to attend to business
for the government , but are threaten-
cd by civil enltwh , < n'u may bankrupt

more - n year ego. Washing
ton di i , itchud nnncuaco that the mys-
terloua delayed suits have at loot been
brought against the Parker-Salisbury
combination , and the fortunes of
Minor and Vallo ars both likely to bo
swept away by the civil damages that
mint bo awarded to the government
In restitution for their plundering.
But thin is not at all the whole extant -
tant of the caso. It la In evidence and
Is admitted by Mr. Elmer that the
bids for fho Nlobrara route , to which
Senator Van Wyck has so opportunely
called the nttontlon of the country ,
were once rejected , owing to objec-
tiono mode to the establishment of
that routo. The chocks deposited by
the bidders wore returned. After the
matter hod thun been terminated , the
department lot the contract to thla in
dicted favorite without again calling
Tor bids , or proceeding in any way ao-
oordlng to the requirements of the
law. The necond asebtant postm&Btcr
Ronoral , pretending to represent
the people , but In the moat sub
stantial manner representing those
who wore plundering the people , ' lei
thin contract to a man whom ho and
hia associates in tha government wire
prosecuting for fraud in thb very kind
of service. The law requires "fuithful
porfornmuco , " and ho chose snob a
man for faithful performance , though
ho know officially that there was a
strong chanoo that Minor might have
to mnnago hia business from within
the walls of a United States penltea-
tlaiy. Thoaurotles , the law ooyd. "must
bo Rood nnd sufficient , " nnd Mr. El
mer deliberately intraais official bnsl-
no3 to a man who , as he know , was to
bo sued by the government for dam
ages that would probably strip him of
all he was worth ,
There la nothing wanting to make
Mr. Elmer's cifaneo deeply injurious
to the government "by whom ho .has
boon Intrusted with his important
cflbo , and monstrously offensive to
every moral sense. Ho need his
cflblal discretion to batray the inter
ests of thb government Into the hands
of those vrhc were certain to render
"unfaithful performance , " atd who
lad "bid and Inscflialont sureties. "
L O violated tbo laws whloh as a trns-
eo of the people ho should have fol-
owed to even a technical nicety. Ho
puts a picturesque climax to his treach
ery by sending the cUrka of the gov
ernment after Minor's oath and slgna-
; no to the Illegal contract Into
the very room -In which the de
partment ( of whloh Elmer is an cfliaer )
iras trying Minor for criminal frauds
In just such contracts. When asked-
aboat his course , Elmer , well knowing
: ho discretion which the law reposed
n him as a sacred duty , and also well
cnowlng that ho hnd violated the law ,
slid coarsely and falsely that if the
devil were the lowest bidder ho would
have had to give him the contrnot.
The evidence .that the postoffioa de
partment is all the time making new
jontraots with the very man whom it
.a . through the attorney general's
offic d pretending to prosecute for crimi
nal fraud is overwhelming. The ad-
nil-Utration cannot exist and do such
things. They threaten government
. ( self , If not with Immediate collapse ,
at least with a deadly and insidious
decay. The postoffico department
ought to bo swept out as if it were a
worse than Augean , swill milk , stable ,
Tha officer responsible for letting theeo
contracts to Miner , and who has had
thn Immorality to defend th < a traitor
ous action , ought to bo at the head of
the file of officials to bo drummed out
In disgrace. If there Is not virtue
enough In the administration to do
this wo must appeal to congress to
Impeach every one ooncernod iu this
ecandil , which iu every aspect has
made n mockery of democratic gov
ernment.

Tbo Testimony of a Physician.
James Bteher , M. D. , of Slgonrney ,
Iowa , says for several yeara I have been
using a OotiRh Bal am , called DK. WM.
HALL'S BALSAM FOK THB LUNGS ,
and In almost every case throughout my
practice I have had entire success. I have
uced and prescribed hundreds of bottles
ever ince the daya of my army practice
(1863) ( ) , when I waa surgeon of Hospital

Crook ana Hia Allies ,
liuffilo Express.
General Orook has fully vindicated
the confidence whloh Grant and Sher
man and , It may bo added , the coun
try generally reposed in him , by
bringing his own command out of the
Mexican mountains intact and victori
ous , nnd with them , also welcome , an
almost equal number of Indian pris
oners.
General Orook Is the hardest and
most eucjecafnl of Indian fightore , and
yet no man haa moro feelingly de
nounced the wretches duplicity of the
government's action toward the In
dians , or expressed moro faith In the
cuccess of n policy of truth and gener
osity looking to the ultimate civilisa
tion of all the tribes. The Apaches ,
whom General Orook has just boon
fighting , ttro reckoned the most
cruel and treacherous tribe among the
red man ; and yet three-fourths of
Crook's own force wore Apaches , nnd
served htm with perfect good faith
and loyalty. They might , at any
moment while ho was In the moun
tain defiles , have killed every white
man Iu the command , Had they
done so , the foot would not have boon
known fer months , and their capture
and punishment would bavo been Im
probable.
It Is clear that General Orook based
his expedition on hia complete faith in
the loyalty of hU Indian allies , and
General Miles tells ui that they have
never been known to break faith un
der similar circumstances. These facts
ought to bo sufficient prqof to satisfy
congress that the Indian character
furnishes a basis to build clyillittion
upon , and ought to Induce a larger and
morn liberal pursuit of the experiment
of educating Indian children ,
