The Washington Star says Thurman is ■till on the track. His friends in Washington have great faith in him, and affect to believe that the bandanna is the gonfalon of victory. They propose to organize a first-class boom for him by entering • him for the race ou the Pacific coast. The Thurman bill, compelling the Pacific railroads to provide for the payment of theft indebtedness to the government, is to be made the basis of the movement. If it be true, as rumored, that a bill is to be introduced in congress preventing political assessments and contributions on the part of government employes, a direct blow will be struck at one off^e most flagrant abuses that fester arlfend the spoils system of our politics. Gorham, once secretary of the national republican committee, testified that in one campaign, _ of $106,000, only $16,000 came from private parties and $90,000 from assessments on government employes. A bill which will prohibit such blackmail should receive the hearty concurrence of every man. _ The last legislature of New York passed a six per cent, interest law. Six jean ago aa much as 547 per cent, per annum was paid for the use of money in Wall street. Daring the recent stock excitement interest at the rafo of; 144 per cent, per annum waa paid. It is apparent, without comment, what folly it.ia to attempt to regulate the price of money by law. The enly effect of a usury law, and the only warrant for its existence, is to establish a rate in absence of agreement, and this could as well be put high as low. As an effort to make money cheap such laws have always been failures, and will he, so long as human nature attempts to sell at the highest, and buy at the lowest price in all dealings. The recent death of Mr. Roebuck, the member of parliament for the cutlery city of Sheffield for many years, at one time a member of the privy council, recalls his singular dislike of this country and its people. He hated an American as heartily as the Marquis DeBoissy hated an Englishman. He eould not hear the United States kindly spoken of without going into a wrathful fit and a phiUipic. In parliament this antipathy colored hit speeches as the M de]enda*eet Carthago" did the elder Cato’s. He waa as unscrupulous and ignorant in his hate too, as Carlyle, and that is saying a g^ftd deal. He was a man of ability and high character mother respects, but no force of reason or evidence oould make him listen favorably to any thing that favored America'. ^ Western 'republican congressmen, if we may believe the New York Hefald’a Washington correspondent, ara strongly opposed to the retirement of greenbacks and the limitation of the silver coinage. It is said they are decided in this attitude,

especially in regard to silver. It is a pity they have not taken counsel of their folly and are willing to admit that the attempt to make 90 cents pan for a dollar is impracticable as well as dishonest The hope of the prominent republicans, is that the greeabackers and democrats will press for some extreme inflation measure, and their party can then spend the time in opposing it, without doing anything positive in the other direction, and thus go into the presidential canvass with a record of professions and promises, and yet with nothing done to hurt the feelings of the soft-moneyites. Thus politics makes

cowards of them all.

The delegates to the* republican state convention will doubtless, after the customary manner, select the delegates to the republican national convention. The state convention has been called for an unusually early date. But what is more remarkable, the state central committee has urged, that the primaries for the nomination of these delegates be held in January, a month before the convention. It is customary in county conventions to hold the nominating primaries the night before the assembling of the convention, so that there may be as little time os possible to cut and 4*7 plans. With thi# month to elapse, after a choice of delegates before they come to the state convention, it is therefore more necessary that great care should be exercised iu that choice; that the primaries be largely attended, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the actual sentiment of the people, end that the state delegates be chosen with reference to their views as to nation-

al candidates. _

Anent the recent, theft of the president’s message and Secretary Sherman’s report, a Washington correspondent says it never would have happened if they had been put into the hands of newspaper correspondents with a request that they should not be published till the proper time came, “When the administration learns to put correspondents on their honor,” he says, “their secreta will be much safer." The morality of this view of the case is rather dubious. It sounds very much like an opinieu that a correspondent may surreptitiously obtain a document, anterior to the time of its proper publication without blame, if the officer concerned with the document chooses to trust the usual securities of his office to keep it, instead of the “honor of the correspondent.” This is not said, but the implication of what is said is, that if the correspondent’s honor is not trusted, the document is fair game for newspaper enterprise. We hold to no such view. A public document should no more be prematurely published than a decision of the supreme court. It belongs to its author, or the officer responsible for it, as fully as his coat or his carriage, and no man has a right to use it without his consent, till he gives it in due course to the public. It is a correspondent’s duty to respect this right, whether his “honor is trusted" or not. The “enterprise” which impels him to disregard it, is morally something like larceny, and it ought to be severely punished. Newspaper enterprise is a good thing, but it goes to dangerous lengths sometimesj invades private rights and oublic dutiesy and then it is a. mischief.

The Journal, of Lafayette, having mercilessly peeled the pretensions of its namesake of this city, and there being no Bergh or S. P. 0. A. at band to heal the wounds, the namesake itself applies the same old plaster it always keeps ready for such occasions. It tells the people bow good and great it is, and, after the manner of the Pharisee, thanks God it is not as other sinners. The namesake sees itself, like the spectre of the Brocken, reflected in gigantic portions against 'the mistWere it ever to see itself as others see it, a great fund of amusement to its contempora’ ries would be cut off. It is understood that each of the papers who got the stolen documents last week paid $150 for Sherman's report and $400 each for the president’s message. Those in possession of the documents set their ewn priceand realized, in the aggregate, a handsome sum. Among many abuses which cry aloud for remedy, the care of the insane in county asylums is a prominent one. As a rule tho^c asylums arelnadequate in almost every par* ticular, and the unfortunates are huddled together with little more discrimination than is shown for cattle. The lamentable result in the case of Maggie Shelter, of St Joseph county, is one illustration. She waa the victim of a nameless outrage,and one itseems> that could not be prevented, for iaqk of pro* per accemmodatioos. There is no stronger call for county governments than the proper care of the unfortunates on. their hands. The London Times estimates that the loss to England from the short harvest, and to France from the short harvest and vintage, will equal six months of their respective revenues. The commissioners of New York state, who were appointed to inquire into the matter, have unanimously advised the legislature to establish a public park at Niagara

Falls.

The consumption of oatmeal is rapidly increasing. A mill at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has ground for the past year an average of 40.009 bushels of oats per week. Another at Iowa City has averaged 30,000 bushels per week. Six counties adjacent to the mills have produced as high as 3,036,180 bushels of oats, which would be equal to the cultivation of 101,206 acres of oats at the usual

avenge of 30 bushels per acre.

And as regards the alleged desire of those of “the southern people” whe aeter “vote the republican ticker to “vote for Grant,” we think H n tricky pretense, designed to hurt Grunt in the estimations of republicans.

Tba White River Utes.

The White river Utes came into Los Pinos last Saturday and went before the commissioners. A new plan of examining witnesses has been adopted, and a number are allowed to enter the r»om at once. They all wear arms, though concealed. The members of the commission and the attaches all keep guns and revolvers near, that may be used on quick notice. Great distrust prevails on both sides, though both make an effort to appear at ease, and to inspire confidence on the part of the other side. Henry Jim, the Indian who was interpreter at the White river agency, testified Saturday that he knew nothing of the massacre at the agency, but was at Milkrirar, and knew that Jack and Colorow led toe attack on Thornburg. Other Indians present attempted to interrupt him and prompt him whil* giving his testimony, but he paid little attention to them, and told a straight story. Douglasaud Jack have not come in, but are expected to do so. It is now E&id that the party advancing from Utah, which were • considered Mormon soldiers, were Indians coming in from all quarters to Los Pinos, from GOO to 1,000 Utes being camped within a day’s ride of the agency. Some Uintah Utes are present. The nostiles present are considerably agitated. They gather in knots, inside and outside of the building, and the chiefs and bead men constantly address squads of

TUB CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND MEN IS. Stow Ura Voter Kxr^ura His Powsv—Tho Moraretgotjr of tho People—-Mob *od Measures. SOMBER VI. To the Editas of The LndisaapolU Nows: One of toe outgrowths of • Ires govern* ment is blstaat demagogue*. Another, is belief in high sounding phrases according to the people great things; such as “vox populi, vox dei,” "the people are toe sovereigns, “all power is inherent in toe people,’ and other like expressions. Another is, an idea that public economy consists in public parsimony. When carefully examined, all such things are found to be fallacious. In the mouths of ranting stump orators, and in toe columns of flaming country newspapers they are “sound and fury, signifying— nothing.’’ Another carious idea is, that as soon as a man begins to edit a newspaper he is not the same being he was before. That he is vastly wiser than he was before, is a dictator of public opinion, and what the paper says must be accepted without question. Being an editor, his “leader” in the paper is of far more authority than the same matter by some correspondent, or by the same man pat forth in some other way. The people, to a considerable extent, com* to pin their faith to the paper; and more votes are cast in the United States by five to one, based on the newspaper than there is based on knowledge of and adherence to true principles of constitutional liberty. T*n times more labor is expended in the public schools to either teach dogmas founded on the bible or to prevent question of tho^s dogmas, than is devoted there to teaching the theory and practice under our form of government, with the duties and the responsibilties of the citizen in the exercise of his rights and privileges. And the reference to such a lesson as the latter in the Sunday schools is unheard of. “The voice of the people is the voioe of the gods,” where the gods are dead people deified by live people. Both are fallible, changing and inconsistent alike. Mars helps the Greeks while Minerva helps the Trojans to cat each others throats. But it sounds pretty to say it and makes the people feel very proud, and they will cheer the orator who says it. The same with “all power is in the people.” Suppose we say “aft power is in tne boreej” 6r “all power is in the steam enginein reference to motive power. It looks and sounds nearly true, and if the horse and engine could hear and understand, they would feel proud and neigh and whistle their approval. But what is a horse good for without a harness on him and a vehicle behind him, and some one to han'die him ? Or what is the engine worth without fire and water within it, and an’ intelligent hand to locate it and guide it? Just so with the people. Without fixed forms under which to act, and representativee to carry out those forms, they have no power but to deetroy each other and live as freebooters. 1 know this sounds harsh, but truth is best. Before our day various forms of government bad ciystalized, all made up of “people,” but their “power” *as exercised by a very few, selected by a very few, and the "voice of the

ic ocean and the French fleet, we thought a good deal of ourselves—as we ought and had a right to—and we started off with the determination to have the people supreme ia everything; but we were compelled to use them as we do the horse and the engine. In order to enable them to use their “power’" and manifest their “sovereignty” we had to fix harnees, vehicles and drivers—provide locations, fire, water and engineers. Having done that, the “power” could develop itself. In other words, the people as the people are powerless to accomplish anv, thing permanent and progressive. Each can get something to eat and a place to stay till some one stronger takes it away from him; where he can live until some one stronger kills him or he dies in the course of nature; just like a horse. There is power in him and that is all. But let him gather into communities; each community pick out one of their own number to act for the rest; those persons are picked out meet and pick one of their own

govern the persons and communities as to all, and the one so chosei by them see that the rules are enforced; and they all consent to be governed by and aid to enforce those rules, and their “power” can be exercised. The one man U the driver and engineer; the several chosen by each community is the vehicle; and the manner in which they make that choice is the harness. We have now the rudiments of a government, and we will call it a state. Indiana, if you like. But the people can not say anything to the state or do anything with it or about it as the peoide. But they can select men and through them can give power to the state or take it away; can enlarge powers given or limit and restrict them; but always by means of the some process—put’ing on the harness, attaching the vehicle and mounting the driver. So other states form. Then these states unite together as the people did, and they confer some of the power the people have them upon a new driver. They make a new vehicle called the United States; they devise a new harness to hitch up the states by, and then the power the people have can be manifested by the United States so far as the states permit, within the limits ef power the people have conferred upon them. If the harness breaks or wears .put a new one must be made, either of the same pattern or some other. If any part of the vehicle foils, it must be replaced—that is new men must be chosen as often as the time of the others expires; or if one or more is unfaithful, put another in his place. If the people refuse to do this, then their “power” is gone, and all the power they have is to destroy each other. As long as they observe the forms provided for select!og men to act for them, they can, through those men, exercise power; and so much of the power as they wish the United States to have they can authorize , these men to give the state, and toe state can give it to the United States. But the people never speak directly to the United States. They can only be heard through the states. They can speak directly to the state, but they can do so only by persons selected for the pur* pose, and when those persons come to set, they can only do po by certain forms and thiough certain othorders ms selected for the purpose.

The fourth subject of thanksgiving is toe present condition of polities. The dangers that threatened at the time of the seating of Mr. Hayes have passed and have left no sear. If the people of this country had not had enough at revolution, it is quite likely that we would have had One then.

If any one of the various pieces is wanting there is a vacancy, and the people are powerless to fill it without going through the Whole thing again. Well suppose toe people have got their law-mak-ing representatives all right; they can do nothing until they fix up n harness; they must have speakers, doorkeepers, secretaries, clerks and committees; and when it 4s all done and they have formulated a law and said (for the people): “This shall be the law; by their ‘power the people enact,” they have to send it to the governor, and he may say ‘no.’ But if he approves there must be more harness. A state printer has to print the law, another officer distribute it to toe counties and the county officers to the town officers; and if the people want to enforce it they must have a court, sheriffs, coroner, justice, constable and other persons before they can fully manifest their ‘power.’ If they wish to speak to the United States more complicated harness

in dealing with toe states and the people. Bnt neither can be heard otherwise without usurpation, and usurpation is the open door to despotism. The people of each stete, in dealing with their own local affairs, can not encroach on anv powers belengiag to the United States necessary and proper in defending against outside aggression or inside usurpation. What is necessary to protect each state in a republican form of government the United States m*y do, and is sovereign. Whatever interferes with the republican form of government in a state as to its own internal affairs is usurpation, and the Vnited States has no power to do. The union can exist only as a republic and a “nation,” by preserving the states and maintaining them as republics also. Otherwise the forms of exercising power by the people will be gone, and no tyranny on earth is equal to that of a free people crystaJized into a consolidated “nation.” “Measures, not men.” is toe cry made to the people. “Men and measures,” should be the cry. The wisest, the ablest and toe best men always; and they will present measures for discussion and ■action. They wisest measures without able and honorable men in office, would find no certain support or practical enforcement In governfhent. Let the voter remember tote be is a “sovereign,” has “power,” and all that sort of thing, bnt it is in the dim distance; and the only way he can have any good of it is by his vote to chooee a wise and honest man to send after it and exercise it for him; and never to vote for any other.
