THKTIK IS fun nt Chicago.
THRHI: area great many political Abbogoincs at Chicago.
TUB "Big Four" wearing Grant badges at Chicago, is pretty good.
IT is generally supposed "General Milo Hascall, proprietor," is at Chicago. ...
HASCALL says he won't vote for Grant. No, never. Well, let it go, that's all -ri^ht.

THK Ft. Wayne Sentinel says the Blaine men at Chicago are making a li—1 of a racket but it is all wind.
BJ.ACK JACK will give the Blaine blow era a dose to day that will be as bitter as two tons of double extracted elixir of I pccac.
IT seems from the racket they are hav ing at Chicago that the prayer of those divines has been heard. God is surely there.
THE anti-Grunt fellows think Conkling a circus. Wait until they hear him today and they will think he is ft whole menagerie.
ILU L.. -J !!-•. .. .. 1!
THK GOSS Ryan fight is now over, and we are satisfied. They pounded each other nearly to death, and after the eightyseventh round, Ryan was declared winner. ____________________
COLONKI. INOKI*SOLL says he believes in the eftlcacy of baptism, when it is accompanicd with a little soap. Come right into the fold then, Colonel while there's lyef there's soap.—Jfawkei/f.
HASCALL said in his speech at Indianapolis the other night, "I freely throw myself away, 'tis all that I can do."
We think "GENERAL MILO HASCALL, Proprietor," has done the same thing several times.
THK tallest delegate in the Chicago Convention is N. M. Curtis, of New York. He stands seven feet two inches in his stockings. When he assumes the perpendicular and roars "Mr. Blaine," •lim BWine will think 'a cyclone has broken loose in the southern part of Illinois.
THKUF. is one thing thai marks the great strength of the Grnut men at Chicago, and that is the perfection of I heir organisation and their quietness.
Conkling, seemingly, does not know what Cameron is doing, and Cameron tines not know what either of the other great leaders are doing. Each one has his own particular field to care for, and he it tends strictly to his own business. They do their work quietly. On the -ther hand the Blaine men are noisy and turbulent. They sre acting on the principle that the convention must l»e carried by noise, and this unwise policy is the test evidence of Blaine's weakness and •he lack of confidence which his followers Lave in the success of their candidate.
The fact of them reporting that Grant -would withdraw, is another evidence of their unfairness and shallowness, and when the organisation of the convention Hegins. the people may expect perfect t-yclone of vituperation from the Blaine ^.'lowers.
HE WON'T DO.
General MILO S. Haskall, of Goshen, Ind., is well known in this city, and there are those who endured the hardships of war with him. He is a Republican candidate fof Auditor of the State. He has published a letter addressed to Republicans in which he gives notice that if Grant is nominated he does not desire teh nomination for the office named. This is about the sublimest piece of cheek to our mind on record, especially when we come to remember that Haskall was a Greely Elector in 1872, and gipsyized around over the State slandering General Grant and the Republican party. Hascall pretended to have repented of his folly, but his recent utterances do him no credit as a Republican, and be the result what it may at Chicago, the fellow who presents the name of Hascall to the State Convention will have to furnish some real estate proof that he (Hascall) is a Republican.—Lafayette Journal.
Yes, you bet he won't do.
THE report on the Ponca Indian affairs show that the agent, Kemble, is one of the most complete c&ses of villian that has come to public notice for years. These Indians, it is said, are peaceable and are doing well as farmers, owning the lauds they tilled by the best title known to man. Yet they were taken from their homes in Dakota and placed on a reservation in the Indian territory.
The young Ponca lady who appeared before tl\e committee and spoke so eloquently of th« abuses of her people by the United States Government, produced a profound sensation all over the country, and her appeal led to the discovery that this fellow Kemble was a villain of the deepest dye. He caused the chiefs to be thrown into prison because they would not consent to what he wanted, and refused the Indians food so as to coerce them. He left the chiefs in the Indian Territory without money or passes, hun dreds of miles from home, to make their way back the best they knew how. He forced them to leave finally by aid of tho soldiers, and the result of mistreatment and exposure caused the death of nearl}' half of them.
There is not much use of trying to civilize Indians when they are treated in such a manner, and it doesn't reflect much credit on our Government to allow such treatment to go unpunished.
WHEN you want to think of inconsistency just cast your eye on the pages of the Chicago Tribune to day. and compare it with the following editorial which appeared in the columns of the Tribune, November 13, 1879:
During the nearly fifteen years that have passed since the day at Appomattox, Grant lias been familiar to the people. His victories, his battle-fields, his sieges, and his marches have passed into history, lie has been twice elected to the Presidency, and twice endured the partisan strife and acrimonious criticism of popular national elections. The successful General has been superseded by the successful candidate and the twice-chosen civil ruler.
Calm and unobtrusive, a type of true American citizenship, the civilized world welcomed the man whose glory and renown were all the more brilliant in their eyes because of the plainness and simplicity with which he was attended. The people of all nations, and the sovereigns of all peoples united to honor Grant, who in his own person united the modesty, unobtrusivenesB of greatness with the characteristics of a great republic. And when Grant turned his face homeward, declaring that after all lis had seen, and all he had heard, he was prouder than ever that he was a citizen of free America, the American heart warmed to this true man who, despite the homage of the world, only loved his country all the more. The popular heart, aroused by the spontaneous homage bestowed upon an American citizen in foreign lands, went out in all its fullness to the great soldier, to the man who had been their chosen ruler, to the man who was now a private citizen: but who everywhere, as soldier, ruler, citizen, at home and abroad, always and at all times never forgot that he was an American, and never forgot that the highest honors and tho proudest distinction tiiat a man could bear was that of an American ritizen—a citizen of the tlie free American Republic."
YESTERDAY our "Daniel," the "Tall Sycamore," submitted an amendment to the river and lmrbor bill, providing for a survey to ascertain the practability and cost of.construction of a ship canal from Salt Lake, by the Maumee and Wabash valley, in the bed of the old Wabash & Erie Canal, or with any variation therefrom that may prove feasible, to the navigable waters of the Wabash river also, for the survey and estimate of the cost of a similar canal from Junction City, on the Wabash & Erie Canal, to the Ohio river, by way of the Miami & Erie Canal, or any variation in the route to produce the most practical and least expensive ship canal from Lake Erie to the navigable waters of the Ohio river by the above route*. The estimate's to be for a water channel and locks of the same size and capacity as those of the present enlarged Erie Canal in New York.

SOME of the Blaine organs—the Terre Haute Erprest for instance— have the arrogance to claim that Illinois will send twenty anti-Grant delegates to Chicago'. We are at a loss to understand why any sensible paper should attempt to loister upon a sensible people such senseless twaddle. Illinois' delegation is composed of forty-two stalwart and honorable Grant men, and the General will every one of the votes. In regard to t— contesting delegations from some of the Congressional districts, we do nqj believe that the delegates so contesting will have the supreme impudence to go to Chicago and demand a vote in the convention merelv on the grounds that their district is for Blaine and that they have been selected by that district to go to Chicago as* delegates. If these men do go, however, it is morally certain that they will not be admitted, as any fair minded man can see that they have no rights there as delegates, at all.—Marshall Herald.

English and American Politics. Public Ledger. Judge Hare's lecture. "Politics in Eng land and the United States," recently read before the Law Academy of Philadelphia is full of admirable matter, rich in histor ical retrospect, and strong in the lesson and warning for our own future, drawn from the contrast of our own government with that of England. With the best written constitution in the world, we see ourselves made the prey of a knot of pro fessional politicians, who sway the des tinies of a great nation, with little care for anything but the selfish interests of their own followers. Judge Hare speaks with emphasis of the rapid decay of public men and public measures on this side of the Atlantic, as contrasted with the vast improvement that has taken place in England during the same period. His warning of the necessity of a real reform of the civil service is strengthened by the recent example of the change of Government in England, where after a signal popular victory for the Liberals, that party took its place at the head of the State, while hardly a score of the leading officials vacated office to make room for their successful rivals, and not a subordinate lost his tenure £ood behavior. Here there are, as Judge Ilare estimates it, at least two hundred thousand offices, State, municipal and Federal, held by a slavish tenure, which compels the incumbent to obey his political task masters at tho risk of being deprived of his livelihood.
Judge
Hare's effective contrast of
the steady rise of the English Government to its present standard of personal purity and direct responsibility of its leaders with the equally steady decline of sound principles ana honest practices in our own public business is very much to the point.
He appeals to his hearers, the youug men belonging to the Law Academy, to devote their knowledge and opportunities to the cause of good government and the reform of evils that now threaten the well being of the country. His instructive lecture may serve to bring home to a much larger audience a knowledge of the causes that have made England safe in its unwritten constitution, and of those errors that have rendered nugatory the wise provisions adopted by our forefathers for the United {States. The enormous growth of this country in population and wealth, and all the conditions of individual prosperity, is of itself evidence that a sensible application to the business of government of the rules that guide us in our daily business will save the public from the dangers that now threaten on all sides. The address is well worthy of earnest stucty.

RICHMOND, June 1.—A few indomitable men in Wayne county still hold to the Greenback faith and fight for it with a determination worthy a better cause. The camp-followers ana adventurers who flocked to them in the days of their prosperity have deserted them, and the little handful that remains are impelled by a conscientious belief that they are right, and sooner or later will prevail. They have just held a county convention at which they nominated a full ticket, and adopted a platform containing universal suffrage, anti-National Baak, government reform and temperance planks. The ^nominations were made merely to show that the party has not given up the ghost, for there is not the slightest hope of the candidates re ceiving even a complimentary vote, their supporters having long since fallen back into the Republican ranks, and four-fifths of those who are left lean that way.
A lieht-headed creature in New York offers *25 for the priviledge of talking to Bob Ingersoll the short space of fifteen minutes. If he will just drop Bob a note he can engage him a year at the same terms, board included.
THE cyclone prophets seem to have made a partial hit, but scarcely enough to brag on.
