Mr. Blaine's second dispatch to Minister Comley at Honolulu is in some respects a remarkable state paper. Tt is well worthy of the care- ful attention of ell those who desire an enlightened conprehension of the policy foreign powers upon the question of their relations to the Atlantic and Pacific coast line. Mr. Blaine takes the broadest ground in vindication of | the American system. The Monroe doctrine is asserted and maintained in all its pristine vigor [and courag | permitted by any foreign power, nor [ by all of them, with the present atatus of all those islands that be within the reach of the American system along our Atlantic or Pacific borders, Mr. declining the pro- No interference can be | Evart’s letter, ferred agrecmont of the European powers, binding the parties thereto, not to move towards the occupation ot Cuba, is quoted and confirmed. The Hawaiian islands are deola the samo relation to the maritime su- ed to bear morbus. e . Tae house still wrestles with the reorganization of the navy, and the oxtravagant Mr. Robeson gets in his everlasting objection to economize our public expenditures. Wiex will congress get through with Ben Holliday? About the same timo that they will wind up with Johnny Roach. His claim is among the public nuisances of the country. X New Yonrx letter in the Railway Register opens with the lines ‘‘we are getting all the money we wantat three per cent on good railway collaterals, Now how much are the horny handed ‘men who built these ‘‘good railway collaterals” getting? That is the ques- tion. Tue sub-committee of Congress will report jn favor of eeating Lee, of South Carolina, Some idea of the state of the ballot in that state and the general condition can behad when this congress unseats threo out of the five members clected by fraud and force. THE feast of reason and flow of soul over the river and harbor till isnearly through. It costs §19,000,000 to en- able each congressman to take a prize home to his constituents. Ho put in his thum and pulled out a plam, Ana suid what a brave boy am 1. TnE whisky men are renewing their fight to get their barrelled poison in government bond for five years, so as to facilitate its sale. They have got Secretary Folger to help them and are waking up the senate. They will flood the committee rooms with cham- pagne if the grave potent seigniours will only pass that bill. Ir is expected that the pension rolls will run up to 854,800,000 per annum, Well that juet sends the money back to the men who made it possible that the government could live to pay them and after all it goes back through them to the people, Why should not the brave fellows have their blo)d money. premacy of the Pacific seas as Cuba does to the Atlantic waters, They aro both the gates of the American system on either side, and as Cuba must come into that fystem, cither ns an integral part or by way of a pro- tectorate in case it falls away from its present control by the Spaniard, so the Hawaiian islands must not be suf- fered to pass under Mongolian o other influences, through the process of emigration or in any other way. The large increase and marvelous ad- vance in enterprise and industry ex- hibited along the Pacific since the ac- quisition of California, and the im- portant commerce croated and sup- ported between these islands and the United States are stated with a decisive pride in the natural domination of the American character. Minister Comly is unmistakably advised that the American republic looks with some anxiety to the possible influences that may arrest or dimintsh the American supremacy in the Sandwich Islands rs well as along this entire coast line. This dispatch has the true Ame ring and cannot be read withont that stir in the blood that signulizes the touch of our national pride. We thank Mr. Blaine for this gallant and statesmanlike assertion of our national purpose, pluck and polivy. Cuba, if not Spanish, then American, and though Spanish still clearly within the radius of the Americen system and beyond the reach of any Huropean arm, however powerfnl 1t may be. The isthmus and its proposed canal is beyond any European control or in- fluence. So, too, Mr. Comly, are the Ha- waiian Islands and you must see to 1t that the American system suffers no detriment there. This is the epitome of this dispatch and this is talking right out in meeting, as an American statesman should never hesitate to do. O the first Monday of July of each year the board of education is requir- ed by law to elect a superintendent of publicinstruction. The board in com- pliance with this law on last Monday elected Mr. Fitzpatrick, at present superintendent at Leavenworth, and formerly assistant superintendent at They fought, won and earned 1t. Tue rumor, which stated those un- friendly to the cause of Ireland, had stated to the effect that Davitt and Parnoll were at loggerheads and thut dissension prevailed among the leaders of the Irish agitation, proves to be false. They stand together aud are working solid to raise the meusns to sustain the evicted tenantry agaiust the landlords Ir is gretifying to note that the great labor interests of the country are claiming the special attention of the national legislature, We hold, as an undoubted maxim of | politieal economy, that upon the proper adjust- ment of labor, the just recognition of its rights, the enforcement of the car- dinll‘prinoipnl of ““a fair day’s wages for a fair day’s work,” depends the paramount glory, securiy and ad- vancement of our national welfare. And the organized influence which the labor unions of the country has brought to bear is manifested in the present action of congress. How much terriblehistory is crowd- ed in that anatomical case in the U. 8. museum in Washington, a part Lincoln’s skull, the bones of Booth, the skull of Wirtz, the famine fiend of Andersonville, the backbone of Gar- field and now the ontire skeleton of Guiteasu. What a strange feast to spread before the eye of vulgar ouri- osity. Shakespeare could write on that case an improved edition of the grave diggers scene in Hamlet, Tue Californians have a very odd way of settling the Chinese question, Some of the residents of Ban Fran. cisco recently made an agreement among themselves to give no washing to the Chinaman, but rather pay a higher price to the white laundryman; and now it turns out that the white washee-washee had sub-let the work to Chinamen, and pocketed the dif- ference, For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the heathen Chi- nese is very peculiar, but the white anau can go him one better, St. Louis to that positien. We are agsured that the object of the board is to raise the standard of onr public schools, which is certainly desirable. Mr. Lane is not removed, nor does this change reflect upon his standing. The board simply believe that Mr, Fitzpatrick who is a man of greater izer and pos- weuses superior qualitioations will make our publio schools more eflicient than they now are, In other words, the board has done what any business man might do when his contract with an employee expired. They have thought best not to remew the con- tract, but to employ another whom they believe to be efficient. It very frequently happens that a good sales- man or book-keeper is superscceded by what the merchant believes to bo a bettor one, The change does not retlect on the character of the good clerk who has been relicved, but sim- ply shows a disposition o0a the part of the employer to increase his sales or improve his system of book nccount through a party whom he believes more capable. cxperience as an ory By tho recont offisial count there are over twelve and one-half million of | of voters in the United States. Only uine million of votes were cast in the last general election, That exhibits three million of men over the voting age, who declined the inalienable priy- ilege. The halt, the lame, the sick, the blind and others whose years and infirmities delayed or debarred their way to the polls, would detract from the number of the disenchanted, but yet the record still shows an enormous anuy of voters, that refuse to do their equare duty as citizens. Now ina republic, the ballot is the keystone of the arch. Upon it supremely rests pillar and architrave and dome. Upon it, depends the pure and eflicient ad- ministration of our public affairs and in some measure, the successful con- duct of our private interests. And it is not a favorable sign of that pro- found concern in our institutions which should distinguish the Ameri- can citizen that such widespread negleet should eripple the finest ele- of this government towards | | fluence, must ment of our national progress and prosperity ard ‘‘throw a pearl away, richer than all its tribe.” A VIEW OF THE SOUTHERN ISSUE. The general situation in the south- ern states, with ita large political in- necessatily 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 history 8o fast in the last quar- ter of a century, It is more easily found ingthe habit to which a previous century had eda- cated the southern people. Had the transition been natural—not forced-- thero would be neither anxiety nox embarrassment in the question and its The south held to the indi- viduality and autonomy of the states as against the national idea. This doctrine became the custom of its public thought at the suggestion of slavory. When that institution, in- tertwined with every fibre ot southern life, grew into its very existence, that doctrine strengtheend into a political nccessity. The danger was that the republican party, elevating the nation above the state, would be controlled by antislavery men, and wipe out the institution. Under that fear, the south became solid before the war, desperately, viciously, fero- ciously solid, Theyare a people with the hot sun in their blood and run to extremes, They regretted the admis- sion that slayery was a necessary evil and declared it a divine inspiration. They wanted to have the test of the country that queationed it. When forced by the sword to abolish slavery they expressly declared in their con- ventions, that they did so, because they could not help it.” The nation freed the slave and gave him the ballot for his self-protection. Then the south profeased loyalty, hut under the plea of white civil tion against African barbarism, sus- tained in part by some republican misrule, they made local war on the freedman, his ballot and his triends and murdered them right under the nose of General Grant. They appro- priated the thirty congressmen that represented the freed- man, and under the old plea of a divine mission to protect anglo- civilization in tho south against the theory that the majority must rule, though that wajority be expressed in the colored vote, they stood solid once more with the democratic party against the national supremacy, vindicated by our best blood as the chiefest fruit of the war. Before the war they were solid, and declared that their home rule and civilization de- manded that they should stand by slayery, and it took ten thousand na- tional cannons to knock that notion out of them. o now they avo solid and declare that the samo home rule and the samo civilization require *hat they ehould stand by the doctrine that the majority, if expressed in the col- ored republican vote, must not and shall not rule, Within the past two weeks Wade Hampton has written a letter, declaring that on this main is- sue ‘‘he who is not with us is against us,” aud no matter what Mahone may doin Virginia on a side issue, the con- flict botween the solid south and the nation on the question of the suffrage —whether a majority that the federal constitution accepts as legitimate shall rule—is as irrepressable and inevitable as was the matter of slavery and se- issue, cession, Can the nation onforce an honest count of the vote of its citizens in a state that rofuses to permit it? This is one view of the political situation, and it may be interesting to look at from every point of the compass, Tue political outlook in Ohio is not encouraging for republican success this year. To all appearance the con- tost looks like a fight about becr and other internal improvements, but in reality s usual itis o big fight for office between factions in the republi- can party. Governor Foster for in- stance keeps awake at night in hope of becoming the successor of ‘‘Gen- tleman George Pendleton.” Other men of note are trimming their sails to beat Foster in the race. In the struggle between the factions and in the contest over the liquor traflic the party is all torn up. Besides all this there is a deep-seated feeling among Ohio republicans that the administration is far from follow- ing the footsteps of Garfield. The mass foel indifferent about the out. como of the elections, and thousands will doubtless stay at home and by 80 doing show their dissatisfaction with the existing state of things. So the chances are that tho democrats will carry Ohio in October, —_— During the first month of General Garfield’s administration a commission was appointed to represent the United States at the international conference, to establish a uniform money medium, Among the members of this confer ence were some of the most eminent American statesmen, including Wil- liam M. Evartsand Ex-Senator Thur- man. It was expected that the con- ference would agree upon a standard at which gold and silver should be- come the money metals of all civil- ized nations, The conferenca wet in Paris in the spring of 1881 and aftor an earnest and thorough discus- sion of the problem adjourned with- out any decision to the 12th of April, 1882, When that day came the mem. bers of the conference failed to put in an appearance ard thus the movement for a. bi-metallic money system has temporarily ended in smoke. Whether the present administration will make any effort to revive the subject re- mains to ho seen. The pressure of Wall street always has been and is now against silver as a money me- dium, As the greatest producer of silver, the United States, are mat lly intercsted in plecing silver where it was tor centuries as one of the money metals, Sexator Locax delivered a Fourth of Jaly 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 (o make of the senart s bold utterances, but we presume that there is something more in the scheme than appears on the surface. There is a struggle now going on between certain statesmen in congress as to the proposed reduc- tion or abolitition of the whisky tax, and it scems to us that if the imcome from whisky was divorted and set apart especially for a national system of education, the problem with which the ultra-protec- tionists arc wrestling would be solved. As long as the income from whisky cloga up our treasury there is an in- centive for a reduction of duties on imports, Such a reduction would materially affect the manufacturing monopolies; hence Lhe high tariff lead- ers in congress ars constantly trying to reduce the internal revenue tax. They have already succeeded in abolishing a portion of these taxes on tobacco and cigars, and unless some such scheme as that championed by Senator Logan goes through they will sooner or later cat down if not altogether abolish the entire system of internal revenue taxation, This is the milk in the cocoanut. If the whisky tax can be aet apart for cducation or any other purpose not already embraced within the pres- ent schedule of government expense, the high tariff men will have no fear of & reduction of import duties, and the special pets ot Gon. Logan, the grand army of revenue officials, will feel safe in their places. THe rcl)\fbllcull]!talu central com- mittee have dosignated Omaha as the place for holding the state convention, and September 20th as the date of the meeting. With her improved rail- road facilities and her enlarged hotel dation Omaha possesses nn- [vantages for the holdiog accol v politic representative body that has over con- vened in this state, Apart from these delegates there will be a large atten- dance from every section of the stato to witness the atruggle for power and place. The date is somewhat later than it should have been, and it may proof embarrassing if not disastrous to the party to have the convention put off so far. Horace Greeley—Reminiscences. The recent sudden death of Mrs. Nicholas Smith (Ida Greeley) has re- vived anew the extraordinary interest that was felt in all that concerned the great founder of The Tribune, She was a pleasant and iotelligent lady who might have had a very conspicu- ous social life if her reticence had not made ‘‘a career” distasteful to her. As it was, she preferred to stay at home and transfer her sccial duties and privi]eg‘el to her younger sister, Gabrielle. She never seemed to enjoy exhibiting her talented and handsome husband, *‘Col. Nich,” as a woman ambitious of social distinction would have done. *“You ought to be a happy man to have such a woman to show off’ as your own,” the Prince of Wales is reported to haye said to Mr, Langtry. And the complimented propiietor blushed ambiguously and shrugged his shoulders. So Mre. Swith may not have enjoyed it to have her liege lord the object of 8o much admiration, 1 do uot know, It is merely a hypoth- osis, ‘T'ho other day T paseed into the lit- tle wire cage that . N. Rooker and Cashier Tuttle have built around them in The Tribune counting room, awaiting the completion of the great addition to the bullding this summer, Mr, Tuttle has been 1in his present placo for years, and Mr. Rooker is the old foreman of the composing room and helped *‘lay” the type with which tho first copy of The Tribune was printed, a listle more than forty-one years ago, When Mr, Reid came into posseasion of the paper after the death of Mr, Greeley, there was a readjust. ment, in which several who had sorved the paper faithfully for many years were given an annuity, or pen- sion, for lite, amounting to about $2,000 a year whether they worked or not, Mr. Charles I'. Congden was one of these, Mr. Rouker, I believe, was another, Mr, Congden‘‘resigned” his pension recently—though what could happen to cause & man to resign such a unique and peculiar sourcs of income I cannot imagine. Mr. Rooker sits here 1 the counting room, an impor- tant factor in the publication of the aper, “‘How did you happen to join Mr. Grecley 80 early?” T inquired of him. It was more aceident than inten- tion,” he eaid. “I was a Your' and I came to the city, and has en sub- bing all around here tryingiito got o good case. I subbed on The Sun, which was located right where we sit now, en this very corner. I subbed on The Herald, Greeley had been ruoning bis Jeffersonian, the first campaign paper ever started in this country., Then, for the Harrison campaiga, he sterted The Log Cabin. That had a tremendus sale. Chen he borrowed some money to statt The Tribune, T met him on the stre and krowing him pretty well 1 saic: ‘Mr. Greoley, T understand you are going to start a_new paper.’ Yes, he said, he was. I told him I wanted a case. ‘See Jim Mix,’ he said; *he's to be my foreman.’ I went to Mix. ‘The slate’s full,’ he answered, ‘bu. you shall have the first vacancy.’ He remembered me, for about 2 o’clock in the morning of the 8th of April, 1841, this wae—he came into the office of The Herald, where I wae subbing, and asked me if Tcould help him, saying, “Tom, we're going to lay type to-morrow for The Tribune. Wo want you early’ I agreed to it, and to be sure of being on hand Ididn't go to bed, I lay down on a lounge at home for an hour, took a snack and started for 44 Anu street, where The Tribune was to ba issued, T got there at 7 o'clock in the morning and was the first one there. Presently a young man came —a_bright-eyed fellow with emooth, dark hair, who looked as if he had a day's works in him, He wheeled an old table around to a window andt went to writing. It was Henry J Raymond, assistant editor, who had been ou The New Yorker with Greeloy. Our composing room was on the third floor, and the three or four editors penned them- selves off from us in a little place at the end. Shea was proof reader-- father of the present Judge Shea. He was a true Irish gentleman and a poet of somo ability, Well, weall worked hard and in a somewhat chaotic fashion that day, and at 4 o'clock in the morning of the next day, April 10, the first form of The Tribuno was lowered to the press in the basement. T'here is the paper.” He handed mo che first volume of The Tribune and I turned to the first aumber. It was almost half ae large as the current Tribune, and had more than half as much matter in it. That is, it had four pages, each of them nearly as large as the present ones. The editorials were in non- pareil and the advertisements in agato—quite small type. The money market and commercial report occu- pied one-fourth of a column, The startling news in the paper were the announcements of the death of Presi- dent Harrison a week before, and his funeral four days before, Ainong the columns of advertisers there was not one name known to this generation. Hulse advertised his dry goods. Fease occupied half a column with his candy. There was a notice of Arctu- rue, a literary newspaper. Tho pub- lishing business was represented by B. T. Trevett. Then there were dis- plays in behalf of window-glass, book- Keeping, tailoring, the Connoisseur's soap and Swan's atmospheric soda fountain. **Tho Tribune did not meet with many obstacles?” I suggested. ©0a, no,” said Mr. Rooker, “it throve from tho first week. It paid right straight along., Greeley paid all his bills, returned the money he had borrowed, and then got a notion (from his socialistic stulies, no doubt) that it was 2t once his duty and his inter- est to take in as partners all those who had eonspicuously aided the paper. I had becowme foreman alittle while after 1o paper started, at the instance of . who wanted u less responsible The men designated to have | itock in the corporation were Bayard Laylor, who wag city editor; Charies A. Daiia, whowas the managing editor; Raymond,Mr. Ripley, myself andsome others. We were to have stock as- signed to us and pay for it-out of the divideuds, I refused to tako it that way, because I did not want to be un- der.obligation for what I couldn’t pay for, vut I took four shares, and Col. Hoe lent me the money to pay for them The debt was soon paid. Dana was then in Europe, looking after the German revolution (in 1848), and Mr, Greeloy moved that ten shares be set apart tor him on his return. It was 80 voted. Mr. Dana took five of the shares, which speedily paid for them- selves from the accruing dividends, and gave him a surplus of tens of thousands of dollars, He was a great managing editor, and we were sorry to have him go. “How came he to leave The Tri- bune?” “His unnecessary and indiscreet persistency in sticking to one idea— as he sticks to his derision of ‘Dea- con Smith’ and Childs long after the original cause of the lampoon must have disappeared. ‘Along in May, 1861, our armies assembled rapidly in Virginia, and Mr. Greeley, in one of his short, impatient editorials, ex- claimed, ‘Now, on to Richmond! M, Dana took up the cry and rung thechanges on it fromday to day--‘On to Richmond! —short editorials scat- tered all about, They made a greac excitement and they seriously embar- racsed tho administration. Lincoln and Stanton complained to us of the ‘On to Richmond’ cry. Mr. Greeley tried to get Mr, Dana to drop it for a time, or use it less frequently, but he was headstrong and un- manageable, and he still echoed it. He did so in goodfaith and most earn- estly, but it made mischief. It raised the clamor for a forward movement, which resulted in the disastrous bat- tle of Bull Run. ‘If we don't prick them up,’ said Dana, ‘they'l! lic there and rot,’ But vhen they came stam- peding from Bull Run, we were amazed and seriously injured, Hun- dreds of subscribers a day left us. The board of stockholders demanded that Mr. Dana should no longer be managing editor, When Mr. Greoloy announced our action to him, he was very angry and left the paper, iudig- nautly declining to remain as editorial writer, If he could be kept from mansging the editor-in-chief and the owners, he would make a model man- aging editor, His going was a serious loss to us,” ““Was Mr, Greeley's ordinary man- uncriyt as bad as they say!”’ § §"Not half. Ifuever had any trou- ble with his writing. Our printers thought it fair copy after they got used to it The beauty of it was that he always made a given letter in the eame way. If he didn'c write his ‘the’ like auybody else’s, for in. stauce, he did always make it like his own, 1t is an error to suppose that I always designated or hired cortain persons to set his copy. I never did; never thought of such a thin, We have had much worse writers on the paper -Richard Hildredth, the historian, for instance. Tt needed an inspired mar _to set up his copy, for he never made a lotter twice alike. In one word his ‘e’ would look like 'h," and in the next like ‘q," and in the next like ‘m.” He Wwas an ingenious writer You never knew what new dive he was going to make next, Aud there was Bloss of Tho Cincinnati Eoquirer. His copy bore no semblance whatever to writ- ing, but looked as if forty or fifty per- sons had been making pigs with their eyes shut.” W. A. CROFFUTT. NORTH PLATTE The Nation's Hollday Celebrated at a Live and Energetic fown, A special reporter of Tie Ber loft Omaha on the 3ed of July for North Platte, one of the most live and ener- getic towns on the U. P., arriving there on the morning of the Fourth, The place was found alive to the importance of the occasion, and in full trim to celebrate the nation’s reary. 130 there was a regular street parade, the programme having becn dnly arranged beforo hand. The pro cession was a fiae one, inciud- ing the band, the G. A R., & number of Sunday-school chil- dren, and a long line of citizens and visitors in carriages, Hon. W. F. Cody acted as marshal of the day, ably aesisted by Mr. Con Groner, the well-known sherifl of this county. Mr. Cody was resplendent in a suit of white corduroy pants, black velvet coat of military cut, etc, and was strikingly haudsome, The procession was marched to the race track, about half a mile from the town and a regular programme of speaking and singing was gone through with, Following this came a most inter- esting feature of the day. Hon. M. C. Keith had four or five buffalo, one with a calf, which he turned loose and one ot the boys lassved and rode an animal for which he received $25 After this a Texas steer was turned loose, which was also lassoed and rid- den to its great disgust. In the afternoon there were trot- ting and running races, the horses entered being those of Messre. J. S Mitler, M. C. Keith, Ike Dillon and W. F. Cody. There were also run- ning races of onehuadred, three hun- dred and eix hundred yards and a half mile race. At night there was a fine display of fireworks and the G. A. R. ball, both of which were largely attended. Notwithstanding ~ the immense crowd, the utmost order and quiet prevailed, and not a single occurrence to mar the pleasure of the occasion was noted. On the following morning the splen- did ranch of Hen, W, F. Cody was wisited and the fine brood mares looked at. A visit was also paid to Con. Groner’s ranch, stopping at Mil- ler's ranch on the way to look at one of the finest lot of horses in the west. A splendid time was had on the way, though one of the horses gave out on the return trip and it be. came necessary to trade aud bring ina fresh team. North Platte is a livo and energotic town, and a good place to go to. Messys. Cody, Groner and Dillon are the pillars of tho place, and to thewm it owes an immense debt of gratitude for its business importanco, Tho principa! mishap of the day oc- curred when Tke Dillon, in tryiog to jump from a foncs, prained his ankle, Trr ek reporter had the during his stay at N meeting Mr and M and was most cordially received by them.

It was a pathetic incident: The el- derly gentleman was walking down Tenth street when the wail of a ten- der youth who had fallen on the side- walk and broken the crockery in his dinner pail smote upon his ear. “Never mind my little lad, are you much hurt?” asked the benevolent greybeard. ““No, sir; I'm not hurt,” replied the youngster. ‘‘Then do you ery?’ " *‘Because V'l licked when I zo home.” “Well, well, my boy; goand buy another plate and cup and your mother won't know the difference,” said philanthropy as_he hended the lad a silver token, The by took the money but sot up a more dismal howl than before. *‘I'll git liked &ll the same —boo-boo!” “Wny 507" asked the interested gentleman. “‘Cause you give me ten cents and the aucker I picked up yesterday give iuv fifty cents!” The venerable philan- thropist strode alonz musing.
