THE DAILY NEWS.

MONDAY. OCIOBEK 27. 187*. „

The Indianapolis News has a bona fide circulation more than one-half larger than that of any other daily paper in Indiana. There in an advance in coal east and went.

The Post-Maeter General's annual report will show the department to be in excellent condition. The deficit this year is three millions, last year it was five. This month there will be no regular pension fund, in consequence of which an increase in the public debt will be made of about six millions. Up to date about nine hundred thousand pensions arrears have been paid. 1 , An exchange pertinently remarks that aa the republican papers are announcing that the Ohio election saved the country, there is no necessity of saving it again in the New York election; that this country is sufficiently well regulated not to need •avin£ twice in the same year. On account of the phylloxera which continues to devastate the wine regions of France, it is feared in a few years the vines will be entirely destroyed, and already American vines, which are proof against the pest, are being imported and planted. On account of the ravages of the phylloxera the California growers anticipate an increasing demand for their wines and brandies. ,

It is not improbable that the superaerviceable stultification of th» administration in the persons of the president and Secretaries Evarts and Sherman may result in damaging Cornell. To look at it from the plane of human nature it would seem that such an indecent exhibition would strengthen many who might have wavered in their purposes and thoughts to condone the machine this time.

Michigan's new liqtior law which goes into effect to-day taxes the business of retailing intoxicating or mixed liquors at $200 per year; malt and fermented liquors $65; wholesaling malt and fermented liquors, $130; spirituous, $400; manufacturing malt or brewed liquors, in quantities of 1,500 barrels or less, $65; and $25 upon each additional 1,000 barrels. Manufacturing spirituous or intoxicating liquors, $400. In municipal corporations no liquor shop shall be kept open after 10 p.m.', and in towns not incorporated, after 9 p. m. * — The probable ending of the Ute out. break, by their deliverance of captives and their assertion that they desire peace and were forced into the outbreak, will reflect more credit upon them than upon the white man. Unprincipled scoundrels even BOW, it is believed, are attempting to precipitate a general war, so as to reap the results in lands forfeited, and the like. Such rascals, for whom condemnation is universal, bear a strong resemblance to a certain class of politicians, whose business it is to foment hostile feelings between the Northern and Southern sections of the country, in order that they may be enriched by it. Several English farmers have returned to New York from Texas, on their way back to England- They were induced to leave the old country by the representations of passenger agents of the various rail roads here, who have painted the gleriea ot Texas in rainbow hues with land at $3. per acre. Those men report that they found the land chiefly occupied by Texans who wanted $20 per acre for it. They learned also that a number of newly arrived Englishmen, could get no work to do. At Eagle Lake they found a lew English families who had bought their land in London. They complained greatly of the heat, and said that every one, negroes included, rested for two hours in the middle of the day. The ■oil is light and poor, and needs great expense in manure. “Hardly ever” does a prominent southern leader open his mouth, that he doesn't “put his foot in it.” Ben Hill has become particularly notorious for this performance, and his recent letter to Congressman Chittenden, of Brooklyn, in reply to one from him, is no exception. He deals in assertions only, and in the kind that can serve no purpose whatever

except to furnish food for stalwart stump speeches. His first assertion is not so

bad, thus;

frankly say that at no period of our ncton, as it seems to me, hsve the northern

ijustly distrusted do I think there

people so greatly or so un the soutbera people, nor

ever was a generation at the north whoso little understood the constitution or so little regarded that constitution as our bond of union. I do not mean to be offensive, but 1 do mean to be candid, when 1 say that to berate and misrepresent the south, and to mbrepresent and ignore the constitution, seem to be the two subjects which absorb the heart and minds of the republicans of the north, and to which all other subjects are held as

subordinate.

Beyond doubt there is a general distr ist of the southern people by the northern, and unquestionably to berate the southern people, and perha;wi misrepresent them, and to ignore the constitution, are the objects which occupy the stalwarts. To cry for “a strong government” is ex necessitate rei to ignore the constitution. Constitutional government can be aa strong as that document will allow it, and no stronger, and in this particular Mr, Hayes is $s strong ajj Andrew Jackson. But as to the distrust of the south Mr. Hill saya further: The feeling of distrust, ahusa and hate of the south in the republicans of the north exhibits ail the symptoms of a mania. It is full of irrelevancy, irrationality and untruihfulness. Even your local elections for state, county, city and town officers are dominated by this feeling of hatred and distrust of the south. It is found in your bar rooms, counting houses and pulpits. It is beyoud reason, and, I fear, beyond remedy. This assertion is largely true, but were Mr. Hill capable of dispassionate consideration we think he would be' 3 forced to say that it is not beyond reason nor remedy. He hjmself is a standing reason for it. In the remainder of this long letter of his he - devotes himself to reproaching New England for her share in the slave trade generations ago. He reproduces the old assertion that secession originated in New England, and that New England and northern pockets generally are lined with the fruits of slave labor, of which the south got only the odium. It shouldn’t be necessary to tell Mr. Hill hew profitless this sort of talk is. Granting that New England first proposed secession, doesn’t Mr. Hill'Ieel the feebleness of it alongside the question, “Who did actually secede?” Mr. Hill while he rails against the unreasoning feeling of distrust against the south, himself show anythiug else toward the north? Can he not recall the condition of public sentiment in the north oiily a few months ago, just before the extra session of congress? It was all favorable to the democracy and the south. The south, as the chief factor of the democratic party, rested in the support of the thought of the country. The drift of public opinion was toward the democracy. Then Blackburn and Ben Hill were unbridled. The “statute stripping” business was asserted with much clenching of teeth and stamping of feet. There was a “solid” assertion of “starving” the government into acquiescence, which was followed up by a vote. The first* democratic majority after nearly twenty years showed the same spirit its last one did, and Mr. Hill now comes in this letter to prove that the “back down” in congress was simply fron^ necessity and not from conviction. Until he and his kind put a padlock on their lips, or are all under the sod, distrust will dominate in the minds of the

majority.

Dangerous Business. A Mr. Sheeley Malone tells the New York Sim that the fund raised in'this country called the “skirmish fund,” to support an invasion of Ireland by IrishAmericans, is now only about $80,000, and that no man living will live long enough to see it sufficient to “independently invade Ireland.” Wherefore he suggests that the Fenian managers should select a couple of emissaries from each section, to werk up a revolt for independence now when “Ireland was never, since the year '98, in such a ripe state for a position of defence, nor so determined to brave the dangers of fire and sword.” The utter indifference of some of our naturalised Irish citizens to the duties they have assumed with their new allegiance, and the coolness with which they adopt or advise action of the most criminal character where their Anglican antipathies are concerned, would be ludicrous if there were not a threat of serious trouble in k. They seem to think that their duties as American citi-* sens are of no force to obstruct any hostile

came, when hia country was at peace with England, without publishing what they were about. If their purpose should be known the government would be bound to •top it, or have a war with England. Solidity and Solidarity. A “solid south” has done more than any other agency to mako a “solid north,” and both sections are nearly aa completely condensed into their separate interests and animosities as they were during the war. Not so acrimonious, of course, nor so ready to dare extremities, but as completely apart, it not so wide apart. There are two “solidities” but no “solidarity.” Wecould have it withone.no matter which one, but between the two it falls to the ground, the proverbial fate of anything that must seek a seat between two stools. Solidarity, says Dean Trench, is a word invented by the French communists, that covers an idea otherwise inexpressible except by a long description or periphrasis; it is the. idea of such a community of interests that the loss of one is (he loss of all, or as it is sometimes aphoristically put, “all are in the same boat” That is what a right and general “solidity” would produce. But when the south establishes a sectional solidity by the murder or expulsion of those whose views concur with another section, the sooth solidifies speedily in defense of its views and its friends, and then we have both sections “solid,” and no “solidarity.” It is “solidarity,” and not “solidity,” that the country needs, and the question for republicans to settle now is, how we are to get it. Primarily the north must stand solid against the abuses of a solid south long enough to show that it sees them, and doesn’t mean to stand them. There can be no solidiarity where there are Chisholm massacres, Yazoo murders, and Blackville

shootings.

But is there to be loosening of this solidity? Must the mx\h keep itself forever to itself to overbear the errors and wrongs of an exclusive south? A country and government of such a composition would ^be no better than the confederacy and the union. It is the duty of the solid north to lead the way to “solidarity by measures that will detach some of the elements' of southern solidity from the mass. And that is not going to be done by the “eye for an eye and toeth lor a tooth*’ policy of some of thg exasperated republicans. Repression pushed an inch in personal or party retalation will make reaction, and still wider separation. There must be conciliation and magnanimity on one side or the other, or there never can be union and common interests. If the south would abandon its mischievous and lawless suppression of political opinions today, the north would drop its reproaches and resentments to-morrow. Its solidity would become as flufly as new down. But any such rational and manly conduct on the part of the South is as hopeless as the extinction of sin and disease, and the way to solidarity must be opened by the North, and by the Republicans. It must be opened by somebody, and it will never be by any paity'or association that determines to return railing for railing, bitterness for bitterness, to the last. A solid north can afford to he moderate and magnanimous, to enforce law without spite, to protect rights without revenge, and if a solid south is ever to be broken that is

the way.

CL’KKJKNT - UOMMKNT. Tickets at a recent primary election in New Origans bore at the head a picture of Grant with the sentence, “Here comes the man on horseback.” The farewell banquet given to Grant in San Francisco rivalled in its richness the banquet given by the famous Killmansegg at ttie marriage of his heiress and daughter. The Boston bank teller who pleaded guilty of the embezzlement of something over $20,000, was sentenced Saturday to five years’ bard labor. They do these things better in Boston; though perhaps if he had pleaded not guilty the judge and jury would have taken his word and acquitted him. That is done sometimes in cases of bank tellers. iAs Mr. Conkling contemplates Messrs. Evarts, Sherman and Blaine on the stump for his candidate for governor, he must feel a certain complacency.—[New York Sun. , The country will watch the progress of the repudiation contest in the southern states with a certain amount of interest, arising out of its bearing upon the national contest of next year.—[Chicago Times.

that discharge his obligation to maintain the feuds of his native land. In 1865 they organized an army to invade Canada, and did invade it, in spite of the neutrality laws, and their oaths, and the proclamation of the president, with as complete a devotion to their native comities as if they were still on the banks of the Shannon or in sight ^of the rocks of Macgillicuddy. They came near making a costly it not bloody disturbance between their adopted

country and England.

This advioe of Mr. Malone is even worse than the counsels that directed the Canadian invasion. He wants American citizens of Irish birth to go to Ireland to incite insurrection, because Ireland was never so “ripe for tight” or “so ready for fire and sword.” If caught they would be hung without mercy, and our government could not interpose, for they would be violating our law, their own oaths, and the plain duties of citizenship, as well as the laws of the British government. Ireland is suffering terribly, and her land and tenant laws will have to be speedily amended or there will be a revolt, and perhaps a justifiable revolt, too, but what have American citizens to do to incite it? It is not their business, and no more the business of an Irish than a German American. Home memories and sympathies they must feel, and would be brutes if they did not, but sympathy can be ho justification of action that prepares or produces violence and bloody collisions. When revolt comes and open war, it will be time enough for them to go back home to help. But they can’t do even that publicly and with avowed purpose, unlesss our country is at war with England too. They can go there as Irishmen came here during the revelation, and as Lafayette

that the aim of the republican party is the public good, let it be seen that the party is endeavoring to secure party advantage by securing the public good, aud the future is certain. It is no time for short-sighted party men to urge their views.—[Cincinnati

Times.

The departure from the manly independence which induced William M. Evarts to denounce some five years ago Grant’s arbitrary use of the military in New Orleans, is not reassuring for the welfare of the reimblic, the tafety of which, after all, must depend upon individual strength of character.

—[Philadelphia Record.

We can understand that republicans should consider it important to carry New York, but an essential republican victory could be secured without Cornell, who simply represents machine politics—the worst element of the party. No doubt the republicans will carry New York—the tide sets that way— but the defeat of Cornell would be a wholesome lesson in politics for both parties.—

[Boston Herald.

The attempt by republicans to treat an act which grew out oi honest differences of opinion ;is a traitorous rebellion against the government is as unmanly as it is untruthful. But the republican party not only insists that th« southern people are all traitors, but that they shall confess themselves to be traitors. The result is that no southern man can affiliate with the republican party without confessing himself a criminal and agreeing to treat all his own people as criminals. By such confession he would show himself unfit to be trusted by any party. By this policy of the republican party everything decent in the south is driven to the democratic party, and then the republican party raises the cry for a “solid north against the solid south - ”— [Ben. Hill's letter to Chittenden. >5 A Tax on Bachelors. The Paraguayan government has imposed a tax of $5 a year upon all single men between the ages of twenty-five and fifty. Women are not taxed on the assumption, no doubt, that many of them would get married if they could, and are. therefore, not to blame for not becoming wives. The object is to make up for the loss of population caused by the long and terrible struggle between little Paraguay on one side, and Brazil and the Argentine Confederation on the other. A few years hence the effect of this tax will be

worth observing.

baviiia. > The Science nf Doing It by Vnrtans Mot bods. [OumU’s Magazine. 1 If any who read these lines are conscious that their pockets are made of such materials that whatever money is pat into them will burn a hole until it gets out, I would advise them, whenever they take the air, to leave their money at home, or better still, to keeo an exact account of every penny they spend. It is astonishing how foolish small extravagances appear, when they have to put down in black and white, after the temptation to indulge in them is over. And they must oe put down in detail, and not convenientlr classed together under the general heading of “sundries.” The item “sundries” is never admitted into well kept household accounts. No one who has not tried it would believe what a check it is upon personal expenditure to keep a thorough account of money spent, and not only a check, but a help; for prices may be compared, aud thus lessons learned from experience. Generally speaking, whenever large savings have been made, they have been effected Jin little sums. Very few persons of ordinary honesty, deliberately set to work to make large purchases which they can not afford, and yet numbers spend just as much in the long run in little things that they scarcely think worthy of notice. It is very difficult to realize fully the value of small sum£. If the pennies and half pennies that lie loose in the pockets were properly appreciated, there would not be so much pecuniary embarrassment in the world as there is. “Many a ml kle make?S^ip.ickle;” this is true of nothing more tbaoT^iU' pennies and pennies. These little savings, as a rule, must be made in personal expenditure more than in anything else. What is spent over the household is generally needed, but the small personal luxuries which cost so little are not. And when any saving is made in this way, the money should be put aside as saved, instead of being mixed with the spending fund, and additions made to it as frequently as possible; that will make you understand as soon as anything what small economies amount to. When money is pet aside to be saved, it should be put in some place where it can not be directly got at. I can not speak too highly of the savings bank for this purpose. The very fact a little trouble and formula has to be gone through with before it can be obtained prevents its being spent many a time when it most certainly would be if it were dose at hand. I have said that what was spent for the household was generally necessary outl.aj, & n d yet there a e two or three ways in which money ?an he taxed here that I should like to mentldn. The first is by buying in large quantities. Of course the danger is when there is a stock of things to “run at” as the servants say, they will be extravagantly used. All that I can say on this point is, that they must not be “run at.” A proper quantity must be portioned out and the rest put away. Then it will be found that articles may be bought both cheaper and better in large quantities than in small ones. Another way to save expense Is to pay for everything as you get it. If you do this you avoid overcharge, and will buy far less. If the money had to be paid at the moment, many an unnecessary purchase would be avoided. People who have limited incomes are those who can least afford to live on credit, and unfortunately they do it more than any others. Before I conclude, I must say one word of warning in reference to small economies. We coniicually read in the newspapers of people who die in misery and poverty, who have perhaps received help from the parish; and after their death money is found, which they hare hidden in all sorts of old nooks and corners. With these unfortunates saving has become a mania; of all manias I think it is one of the most deplorable, ;for after all, money in itself is absolutely worth nothing— it is only valuable for what it can procure. If it will only brine comforts and necessaries for those we love while we are able to work, and secure independence for ourselves when we can not do so, it is worth smalj^ economies, forethought, hard work, energy, care and self-denial. But even gold is bought too dear when the desire for it is allowed to overpower every other feeling.

We shall not apologise for or in any manner belittle southern outrages; but we shall occasionally present the facts which ought to be remembered in that connection. The south has undergone three successive and terrible revolutions within sixteen years. Three times has society been plowed up from the bottom all the elements thrown into chaos. A social and industrial system which had been two hundred years in growing, was suddenly and violently destroyed, the slave vaulted into the seat of his master and for eight years plaved the beggar on horseback, and then a third upheaval hurled the black from power. At the end of all these radical changes the south is struggling with the most difficult task ever presented to civilized man—to arrange two totally distinct races o» the same soil, id civil and political equality. Perhaps a little forbearance on our part is in order. 1 tea tractive Fires. Monroe female college, at Forsythe, Georgia, bunted, Saturday. Loss $20,090. Insured for $6,000.

British Capital Coming. (New York Sun.] In the course of the next five years a vast amount of British capital will find its way to this country, where branches of English business houses will be established, while in many cases tbe main business will be transferred here. We may see this to-day in New York, whtie shops are constantly being established by Englishmen. The great dry goods houses are largely represented by them. The EnglLh capitalist, feeling an absolute security in our public finances, will more and more pour those boards which he is at his wit’s end to know how to invest into associations conducted by his own countrymen here, and the benefit will accrue to both countries. Tbe present trouble in England will thus tend to bind even closer the commercial interests of the two countries. Englishmen already own large possessions in the west, and every year will see the number of such proprietors increase. With in a very few years there will be a daily mail steamer to England,

A Cruel Hoax. [Virginia City Chronicle.) Last evening, just before sundown, a gentleman, who was sitting by his window on north B street, casually remarked: “There goes the woman that George Brown’s dead gone on.” His wife, who was in the back room getting supper ready, dropped a plate on the floor, stumbled over the baby, and ran like a quarter-horse to the window with: “What ? where ? Tell me, ouick I" “The one with the long cloak—just at the corner.” Then the woman at the window said in tones of deep disgust: “Why, that’s Brown’s wife.” “Yes, exactly,” remarked the brutal husband, quietly. Then the disappointed woman went back and got supper ready, but her usual sweet dispositiotf was soured for tbe evening. They all Want Railroads. President Albert Keep, of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad, states that he receives on an average three petitioning letters daily from points near the lines controlled by his company, asking the construction of branches to the various places. In speaking of the matter the Railway Review says: Probably, if the company would comply with all of these requests, it would, in the course of a year or so, be in the receipt dally of about the same number of denunciatory letters, alleging “extortion,” “discrimination,” etc. It is characteristic of the American public to beg a favor and then damn the dono thereof for not nuking it larger. Indiana Batter than the West. [Marlon Chronicle ] Indiana, to-day, presents a better prospect for tbe emigrant than Kansas or Nebraska. Cheap lands, so rich in quality, so well timbered, so well watered and se near the great markets, can only be found in Indiana, and if our state would take the matter in hand and lettheadvantages of our state be known to tbe people in the eastern and middle states, we would soon have an increase of population having means, intelligence and all else that makes first-class citizens.

The Agency Frtaenera Delivered Up, * Special Agent Adams telegraphs Secretary Schurz, dated at camp at White river, October 24, via Rawlins the 25th.

He then proceeded to General Merritt’s camp, on White river, where he arrived on the night of the 23d. The report of the rising ol the Unitah Indians is again denied. Moral—Take the News. [Cloverdale Courier. ] From this time on the organs will contain little except political literature. It is a good time for people who believe that there ia much worth living for besides a struggle for office, to subscribe for a paper that u not entirely devoted to the interest of any of the men who are bending tneir energies to get into an office.
