Every time opporpapu-'tunity affords an attack Is made upon Dunbar and their latest assertion is that Dave aspires to the olllce of Secretary of Slate and Infers that while laying wires for the higher olllce he is neglecting the dd ties imposed upon him as clerk. The latter part of the statement hardly merits notice, as Dave is too as a thorough, Industrious officer to need any defense on that score. Indeed the entire article would scarcely need mention but for the fact that Dunbars name is mentioned in connection with the position of tary of State.

One thing seems certain now, and that is, if Senator Cannon is It will have to be by Democratic votes. The Republicans have formed a comre-elect- bination agnlnsLJkLm, njllLJlUl HRyfor one of the other Demoora candidates, if it is necessary to do in order to defeat him. At least, ti is what they claim, and if Senat Cannon is to be defeated, it will be pity if these patriotic Republican men5 bers of the Legislature are not givei nn opportunity to show their petty .spite in the way they desire. If the Democrats were alive to the situation, they would not permit the defeat of Senator Cannon in the first place, and the fact that their opponents want him beaten ought to satisfy them that he .should not be. If he is to be defeated, it would be a shrewd move on the part of the Democrats to throw the responsibility for his defeat upon the Re- -- well-know- n. for the that the end justifies the means and has no conscientious scruples about either the end or the means. To line his own pockets is Ills main object, and he considers men as simply a purchasable commodity. As a party organizer he is a man of great ability, but if he has ability in any other direction he lias never given his country the benefit of it. His party has tolerated him because it has been a beneficiary of his corrupt methods. He has had great opportunities, and great political power has been in his hands, but he has not used them in the interests of his country or of his fellow man. He is now indicted for the crime of using public funds in his private speculations. The charges seem to be well sustained by' incriminating, written evidence. The prosecution seem determined and the Senator finds himself in pretty close quarters. If he is guilty it is hoped that lie will get his deserts. We hear much just now about the danger of allowing a polygamist to be seated in congress, and what a bad effect it would have upon the moral of the country.

It is plain that Ifie whole war department has been dominated by a set of small bore politicians who are determined to break down every man 'who finds fault with their methods. They are an incompetent set, and It is humiliating that like Miles should have to submit to their dictation at all. We hope Gen.

But it does not was right matter whether or not there is nothing to justify the violent outbreak' of Gen. Eagan. It simply shows the unfitness of the man.
