Nee ee een ne AIEEE Mr. Blaine’s two eminent lawyers have given him good advice. Besides, the people are beginning to look upon these ingenious attempts to evade in- with stern condemnation. It bas been charged that the democratic Con- gross is influenced by political motives in its action, and that it has been converting itself into.a mud machine for the purpose of soil- ing the reputations of its political opponents. But the fallacy of snch a position is trans- parent, By exposing untrustworthy public men in advance of the nominations for the Presidency the democratic Congress has ren- dered it the more likely that the republican party will select a candidate whose character will be unassailable, and who will, there- fore, be strong before the people. Policy would have dictated o postponement of just such cases as that of Mr. Blaine until after the adjournment of the Cincinnati Convention. It is impossible to blind the eyes of the nation to the fact that corruption has eaten into the heart of the government and has made dangerous progress among public men. ‘The exposures now being made are demanded for the gen- safety. They are tho thunder storms are expected to purify the air and clear the skies. ‘The rights of American citizens,” about which Mr. Blaine’s eminent counse! are concerned, are threatened by the at- tempts that are made to thwart and defeat investigations by which it is sought to make the country purer and stronger than it now is, The duty of an Amcrican citizen at such ® time is to aid inquiry by all the means at his command, and the best service Mr. Blaine, or any other acdused official, can now do for himself and the nation, is to make a candid disclosure of all his acts. Innocence will not stand upon technical rights when so plain and so important a duty has to be per- formed. The Fast Train. Still the transcontinental express thun- ders on, making a uniformly rapid progress, which will be judged by the fact that the first ‘slowing up” experienced by the voy- agers on the journey from New York was in Weber Canyon, where a party of heathen Chinese were repairing the washed-out track. The train was at Winnemuced at twenty minutes past eight P. M., and ex- pected to land the passengers in San Fran- cisco in time for breakfast. The most trying portion of the journey before the train was the ascent and descent of the Sierra Nevada, a task requiring caution going down as well as patience going up, the grades being over one hundred feet to the mile. Still, with the wonderful headway gained, the delay extending over a few hours can well be spared and leave a handsome margin in favor of the train. ‘To get a breezy idea of the exhilaration of the trip we would refer our readers to our correspond- ent’s story, written as the train runs, The scene at Cheyenne, with Mr. Jarrett firing Roman candles and one of the party, whose name is modestly con- cealed, telling the excited throng what time was made on the run from Gotham, is worthy of the artist's brush, and must take its place in history when some one qualified for the task undertakes to describe the material progress of the United States for the next Centennial. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. Blaine says letters havo peace. Kansas City, Mo., has 40,000 inhabitants, juperannuated democrats” is fair, but not good, The Missouri Democratic Convention was not Hyde bound. Dr. J. C. Ayer, tho patent medicine man, is an in- curable invalid, Twelve hundred ex-Sultanesses of Turkey mourn 2,400 No. 134 shoes. It fs surprising that many of tho candidates for President are comparatively young men. Chang, the Chinese giant, has jolned the Baptist church. He is too big to dip, but he don’t mind wading in. i * Speaking of the Northern Pacifia affair, Blaine ‘wrot “I can’t touch it, but I obey my first and last Impulse in offering it to you ” Hon. Ellis H. Roverts, speaking of criticisms against tandidates, quotes the o!d proverb, that “the most tlubs are found under the beet apple tree.” Tho Boston Post says that Mulligan ts a man who ‘would not tell a lie about Blaine; and the Post per that does not throw compliments around loose.

Before leaving Washington the Emperor went to see Brady's gallery of notabilities and bad a large photograph taken of himsetf, which will be added to the collection. His Majesty witnessed a very creditable display of the efficiency and promptness of the Washington Fire Department. One minute after the alarm was sounded the fire engines appeared on the scene, and within nine minutes three engines were on the spot, their hose in order, and pouring o stream of water over the pavement. His Majesty was much pleased with the prompt- ness with which the engines appeared on the ground and with the splendid appearance of the Fire Brigade. Orders were given by His Majesty that a contribu- tion should be sent in bis name to the Widow and Orphan Fund of the Fire Department as a mark of his appreciation. His Majesty afterward went to the State Depart- ment with Sefior Borges to pay a visit to Mr. Fish. ‘The Secretary was not at the department.

THE SENATE BILL AND THE SIOUX RESERVA- ‘TION. In the Senate to-day Mr. Allison, of Iowa, called up the Senate bill providing for an agreement with the Sioux Nation in regard toa portion of their reserva- tion and for other purposes. Mr. Paddock, of Nebraska, said ho had been reliably informed by citizens of his State, which bordered on {his reservation, that theso Indians were now in a framo of mind to warrant the government in making & treaty with them to remove them to the Indian Terri- tory. He did not believe this bill in its present shape could be passed as it was objectionable for several reasons, He offered a substitute authorizing the Presi- dent to appoint a commission, to consist of five per- sons, two of whom sbatl be officers of tho army, to treat with the Sioux tribe of Inaians for tho surrender of their present resorvation in Dakota and their re- moval to the Indian Territory. Mr. Edmunds, of Ver- mont, offered a substitute authorizing the Prosident, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint a commission, to consist of five per- sons, to visit, as soon as possible, tho tribes of Sioux Indians, with a view to negotiating with them a treaty or agreement for the cession to tho United States tho right of said tribes to the country known as tho Black Hills in Dakota Territory, and appropriating $50,000 to pay the expenses of said commission and collect the Indians in ono place for a conicrence. At the suggestion of Mr. Ingalls, of Kansas, Mr. Ed- munds amended bis substitute so as to authorize the Commissioners to treat with the Indtans for the relin- quishment of tho Black Hills, and otherwise for tho preservation of poace, After a short debate tho eubstitute of Mr. Edmunds ‘wag agreed to without a division. Mr. Allison (lowa) submitted an amendment authorizing the Secrotary of Wor to furnish transportation, subststence and protec- tion to said Commissioners during the time occupied by them in the dischargo of their duty, which was agreed to, The bill was then read a third timo and passed—yeas 30, nays 8.
