2 THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUGT 21. 1878.

WEDNESDAY, 1UQUST 21. Hates I reported as intensely hostile to the Chinese. Hasxa Johjc Fizzle, John Fizzle Hanna, Fizzle John Hanna. Johjc Hajira will fizzle out in October. That's what's De La Matter with Banna. Stanley Matthews refuses to appear be fore the Potter committee. Still afraid of Butler. Isdiaxa rads are reported to be their plans for carrying the atate by said Louisiana methods. making Florida John Hassa indorses the frauds, forgeries and perjuries by which llayes was elevated to the office he-disgraces. The rads made the trade dollar "fizzle money" ns John Hanna puts It, and working men are tuffering thereby. Jobx Haksa believes in John Sherman's and (Stanley Mathews policy f rewarding perjured villains with federal offices. Johit Fizzled in the opera house three hours, or, to be exact, two hours and fifty minutes before he was taken out "Whew ! If John Hanna did not kill himself at the opera house Wednesday night, his vitality must be equal to that of Mr. Thomas Feline, Johk "FLtzle" Hanna says "fiat" money men are consummate tools. Ben Harrison says they are idiots. You takes your choice, nationals. Johx IIanxa talks about "Mexlcanizing the government" When was a president of Mexico lifted into offrce by perjury? Will John answer? Wheji Orth heard of Lew Wallace's action in regard to his nomination, he was again 'hotter'n a lime kiln." That remark will be the kil'n of him yet The largest flouring mill in the world Is Id "Minneapolis. It has a capacity of l,Jflirels a day. The new one in oue of construction will have a capaciv f -00 barrels. ' - Ir the quests of finances Is rearded b7 thelnds rads 83 important, why don't organ or candidate attack the financial planks set forth in the democratic platform? W challenge the entire gang of rads to take issue on the doctrine set forth. The speech of Senator Thurman, delivered at Hamilton, Ohio, yesterday, will command very general attention. The distinguished speaker brings td the attention of the people the great wrongs inflicted upon the country by the radical party, for which it deserves to be exiled from power and forever anathematized. In future issues of the Sentinel we shall comment upon the speech more at length, The canal on the American side of Niagara Falls cost $300,000, being cut through a bed of solid rock. Last year, it will be remembered, the canal, the right to the power, and all else that could be sold or bought, was disposed of at auction for $04,000. And careful investigation proves that the purchaser, even at that figure, has an elephant on his hands, as there is no market for anything at the Falls, and no way to establish cheap transportation elsewhere. It seems passing strange that relic hunters have not availed themselves of an opportunity to gather ofT the coast of California fragments of a ship that has borne no insignificant part in history. When Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from Elba he sailed in the Natalia, and it is this old vessel, that at low tide, can be seen a wreck at Monterey. A Mexican colony, in 1831, came to California on her, and here she has lain, beaten by waves and gradually sinking lower under the fast gathering sands, forgotten until some one revived the incidents connected with her memorable trip in 1815, when she bore Napoleon to France, and to defeat at Waterl00v Tils trade dollar is worth but ninety cents says John Sherman through his serf, Linderman. On July 25 the national banks of this city received a circular announcing this fact These banks have no trade dollars to-day; they were all paid out to the people at par. The paymaster of one of the railroads pass, ing through here drew from one of these national banks three thousand trade dollars, which were paid to the employes of the road. Thus were the laborers swindled out of $po in one day, and the bank that paid the money knew that it was playing a sharp trick when it did so, for at the time it held in its possession John Sherman's circular saying that they were worth but ninety cents on the dollar. A case of poisoning has recently occurred in Faria, France, that every year has its counterpart in every country where the peach is found. A child gathered a lot of peach stones, cracked them, ate the kernels, and in a few hours died, poisoned by the prusaic or hydrocyanic acid contained in the kernels. Children are especially liable to such accidents, for rarely are they cautioned against the danger of eating the kernels of peach stones, or forbidden to break the stones, leaving the meat exposed for others perchance to gather up, and without a hint of their nature, swallow. An ounce of the kernels of peaches contains one grain of pure hydrocyanic acid, and one grain will kill any ordinary adult, two-thirds of a grain having been known to have killed children. At this season, when peaches are so numerous, a word of caution should b) spoken to older children, and those too young to understand should not be allowed the chance to endanger their lives by eating the poisoned kernels. The predominance of the democratic party mean a reversal of the entire policy of toe national government an embodied In the legislation of the last fifteen years. Journal. You are ' right for once. Tne democratic party has control of the house of representatives. After the -4th of March next Jt will have control of - the senate, and after it will control the government in all of

its departments. So far, the reversal of the radical policy consists chiefly in exposing radical thieves, radical conspirators and

radical scoundrelism generally. The people like this reversal business amazingly. They take to it like ducks to water. Kadical officials stole $100,000,000 annually for thirteen . years. This much is officially reported. Such colossal stealing was never Leard of before in any country civilized, half civilized, barbarous, savage or enliehted. As a thief party the radical con cern has won and most wear the hoaora. The reversal of such a piratical, foot, pad, sneak thief and grand larceny policy is demanded by the people, and the democratic party is bound, to carry out the will of the people. The radical thief party's policy of obtaining a president will also be reversed. Forgery, fraud and per jury made the last radical president - The Sbylock policy of the radical party will be reversed. Carpet bag policy will be reversed. The policy of bayoneting states and legislatures will be reversed; in a vord radicalism will be reversed. The people will the reversal, and the democratic party is pledged .to carry out the will of the people. y , sm , THE TRADE JMfLLAR. Another evidence of the result of the policy of tht repuMicaa party was brought keenly home to many a hearthstone yesterday. Silver, at ehoufd be the rose, has been remonetized. aid a dollar of 4'.2K grains is now receivable fr customs and is fall legal tender. As a natural consequence with the coinage thus far issued, this collar is almost an unknown quantity in these western wilds, the tnde dollar haring been for some months the circulating Medium. This piece was originally coined ostensibly for the Chinese trade, and contains 420 grains or 1i mora than the standtrd dollar. It was a dollar to all Intents aad purposes, and at one time commanded a premium. The tradesman took It, urn was glad to receive it at its ace; the granger gathered it in, and was juore than satisfied that itiepresented what was apparent upon "4s face; rT people placed it in tht legendary stocking leg, and children cried tor it under the delusion that 420 gra'.ns was worth, more intrinsically than 41214 grains. But, presto, change and all this delusion is dispelled. An irresponsible party, Dr. II. R. Linderman, director of the Philadelphia mint, issues a circular and sends it to all the banks in the Union, informing them that the trade dollar is not legal tender. This circular is dated July 25, and was but yesterday made public. In the meantime the banks have been passing these coins over their counters at par as rapidly as possible, but to-day will only receive them at ninety cents. In other words every man who is today the owner of a trade dollar, which contains seven and one-half mora grains of pure silver than the "buzzard" dollas of the republican administration, has been robbed of ten cents. The damning fact fs there and can not be obliterated. To illustrate A farmer who lives near Oakland sold his wheat fof $1,400 and received the whole sum in trade dollars. He did not desire to hoard the money, but it happened that yesterday he wished to change the sum fcr notes, and had the matter been a question of aecessity would have been forced to stand a loss of one hundred and forty dollars. Every man who to-day owns a trade dollar has been robbed of ten cents by the infamous poljcy inaugurated by John Sherman and indorsed by the republican party. The American citizen is a patient and long suffering mortal, but he will not stand everything. He will give liberally and disburse freely, but he would rather squander dollars than be robbed of pennies, and ten cents on the dollar is a little too much. As a banker remarked yesterday, the trade dollars aro so distributed that the holders will make no trouble regarding the matter. That may be true, but is the scheme any less robbery the most infamous? Can the man who, working for one dollar per day, and who, by keeping his nose to the grindstone, succeeded in caving fifty trade dollars, be expected to feel kindly when he , awakens and discovers that he is a victim of misplaced confidence that he has only forty-five dollar, and has been beaten oat of five days' work by a trick of John Sherman's? THE CAMPAIGN IS INDIANA. We indulge in no idle words when we say that the democratic paity of Indiana is thoroughly aroused, and in nearly every county is doing yeoman's work. Indiana in 1378, as in 1870, is a battle held, toward which all eyes are turned, and the indications are that the contest will wax warmer and fiercer until the last ballot is cast and the battle is ended. The organization ot the party throughout the state is generally as near perfect as could be desired by the most ardent patriot or demanded, in view of the vital issues that enter into the campaign. We do not disguise the fact that perfect organization, undisturbed harmony, Indefatigable effort and unyielding tenacity'.are imperatively demanded to achieve victory. The democratic party has the right, the truth and the record to stimulate its efforts and strengthen its purposes. Its mission is to wrest the country from the grasp of radicalism. That Indiana may contribute her full chare in the great work, the imperative necessity is presented of redeeming the state from the Infamously corrupt apportionment act passed by the radical party in 1873. To do this the legislature must be democratic Securing the legislature secures a democratic United States senator; besides, if the legislature is democratic, 'an increase of democratic congressmen is placed beyond a peradventure. After the 4th of March, 1879, the United S'ates senate will be democratic, and the question now is, shall the next house of representf.Mves be democratic? Never in the history of the government has the question been fraught with such consequences of weal or woe to the republic. The radical party has been condemned by the people, and no damnatory sentence was ever more justly pronounced. This party, exercising for years supreme control, laid its unholy hand upon constitutions, laws and the liberties of the people; abandoning the ballot, it utilized bul

let and bayonet, and worse than Belthazzar who degraded the sacred vessels of God's temple; worse than vandal hordes whe destroyed the monuments of Rome's civilization, the radical party with lying professions of devotion to the institutions of the country, sought by every devilish device to retain power by destroying the altars and the shrines of liberty.' We know there are questions of finances to be discussed and settled; we know that the labor problem is even now taxing the abilities of the profundest thinkers of the land; we know there are' questions ot tariffs and taxation to be settled, but as the Boston Post opportunly remarks "there is 'one great and overpowering issue that sur'passes all others. Shall the great national 'wrong be righted? Shall the people be per'mitted to choose and inaugurate a president 'of their choice? Shall fraud and crime be 'allowed to supplant popular sovereignty 'and destroy the very fountain of all politi'cal action? Shall men exalted to the highest stations by the aid of conspirator 'though by them now denounced as 'per'jured rascals,' escape with their common 'plunder before the gaze and by consent of 'an indignant people? These and kindred 'questions are the real ones before the country, and which In 1S80 are to loom up in 'their true magnitude and importance. We 'have first to settle the fact whether we are 'to have any government at all before determining by what measures it shall be 'controlled. It has once been saved by sub'duinr, an open revolt The next effort 'requiied will be to rescue it from cor'ruptloi and usurpation. It is evident also tlat the people will have a difficult 'work on their hands. All that practised 'conspirators can do to count out men 'fairly ehcted and count in those whom the peopl at the polls rejected, will be at- ' temp ted aiain. All that money can accomplish to pdson the public mind, seduce 'voters and buy up returning beards is to be 'prepared foi once more. All that despoil'ers of the people under Grant's administra'tlons can do o get their unholy haids into the treasury again will assuredly be done. 'From accomplshing their purpose there

'will be no bar int by a vigorous and united 'effort to vindicate the montrous wrong of 1876, and by preventing its repetition in '18X0. The demotrata'haTo no enercy to be "wsud by divisions on subordinate issues, 'ant should keep thir eye fxst and foremost 'oq the great duty ot first re-cuing the government from those -vho undr the forms of 'law have revolutionized it" Tiie radical party is massing its strength for the last struggle. It must tin or die. To achieve victory now the radical party Is ready for any blasphemous proceeding. It has a hell brood of conspirators ready to duplicate the lorgerfcs and perjuries of Florida and Louisiana. John Sherman is as ready now as then to bargain for perjuries and promise federal offices as the reward. J. Madison Wells and his congress, for a consideration, would burn the gopel, erase the statutes, insult the crucifix, and set the guillotineat work more actively than Robespierre ever dreamed of, if thereby he could enthrone another fraud in the office of president, and receive as his reward a federal office. This party is to be defeated in Indiana. It will require hard work and continuous work from now till the last blow is struck and the polls are closed. LAZ.tR HOUSES AMD THE COVSTITITION. Mr. Dennis Kearney had the honor of propounding to General B. F. Butler some ques tions about the power of a state over Chinese immigration. Butler tells his friend that "under the decision of the supreme court of 'the United States and under the treaty a'state can not by its organic law or legislative action, prevent or hinder the im migration of the subjects of the empire of China." This would seem to settle the question and leave the boss drayman, who Is now enlightening the people of Massachusetts upon the subject of work and wages, no other alternative but to return to San Francisco and submit to the inevitable. But Butler informs Kearney that with regard to a state in protecting itself from curses is supreme. He sayr. "What can not the state do to protect itself from a curse? And I do not know what It cuu not do. But the question returns to us,Who Is to determine whether the presence of the Chlhm Is a curse? Ja there any higher owr to which this question can be submitted than a constitutional convention of a mate? I certainly do not know of any. Each Mate must determine how to get rid of tiie curse of famine, tne curse ot Incendiarism, the curse of crtme, the curse of peddling lienor to its Inhabitants and the curse of pestilence In Its own way; and many decisions of the supreme court upon most of these questions have sustained the rightof the state to deal with them according to Its sovereign will. A state may send beyond Its borders, so far as the Individual U concerned, any pt son or persons therelu who is deemed a curse, ns did our Puritan fathers the Baptists and Quakers, In the earlier time, and as do their hods in Massachusetts with the paupers and criminals that are sent upon them from foreign nations. No state can, against Its will, so long a It la independent and sovetelgn, be made the lazar house of the world, or of even one-third of the population ot it Nor do 1 believe that there is anthing In the conHtHutlon of the United Htates which gives to the congress, of the United (States a right to f'ass a law requiring a state to be such a lazar touse. And if there is nothing in the constltut Ion which glvea eon grew, com posed of th three branches of the law-making power, tn right to make such a law, lean not find anything In be constitution which gives to one branch, the executive, the right by treaty to make it the supreme law of the land that any state shall be the lazar house of Asia. Whether the adjoining territories to California quietly submit to have the Chinese poured over niton them is a question which California mast adjust with Its neighbors, and that question is on wltn which the Chinamen have nothing to do. I know of no civilized nation which lias not exercised the power of deportation of obnoxious aliens. According to Butler, a state can not prevent Chinese immigrants from landing ot its shores under the existing treaty, but it can compel them to depart from her jurisdiction. This is what Kearney wants. The Chinese will eventually be compelled to find some other country in which to display their ingenuity or remain in the celestial empire. California will be found unhealthy for the Chinese.at no distant day, and their exodus Is an event that will traL spire in the near future. Oveb 20,000 acres of land in the Hawaiian isles have been bought, by a rich sugar refiner of San Francisco. The land has always been considered good for nothing, being portions of both dry mountain tracts and heavy, swampy ground. He is draining the swamps aad irrigating the dry districts, and is alio building a railroad to a seaport He waited until the reciprocity treaty between the United States and the island was

completed, and then bought his plantations, and thus got ahead of any possible competitors. He is making money faster than anybody in ail the island ever did before, and other planters, seeing the success of bis work and planning, are imitating him. Railroads are to be constructed in different directions, draining and irrigating are being studied and made effective, and sugar and rice plantations were never In such t splendid condition, nor were as large crops ever anticipated. Thi Chinese question looms up in Chicago In a way that will fill the heart of Dennis Kearney with Joy. In the shoe manufacturing business there are 800 workmen on a strike for an Increase of wages, demanding twelve dollars Instead of nine per week. The fcix Companies of California enter the field at this Juncture and orter 1,500 Chinese, haJf skilled and half green workmen, at seventy-live cents per day. The offer has been favorably considered, but the manufacturers are haggling to get the Coolie labor at sixty cents a day. If these negotiations should be successful, and 103 semi-slaves are Introduced to take the place of the HOO American mechanics, there will be lively times in Chicago. The question Is a very serious one, for In the present temper and condltioi of American workmen they will not permit the competition of the Chinese., They have before them the results of such competition in California, and Jf the door is once opened to Chinese labor in the eastern states, such as Is proposed by the fcix Companies in Chicago, the future will hold a gloomy outlook Indeed to the American laborer and mechanic. Pittsburg rost. Unfortunately for the welfare of the country the heathen Chinese can be imported in such numbers as in a few years would suffice for every industry in the country. American laborers are citizens, and a vast majority of them comprehend the dignity and responsibilities of citizenship. The Chicago shoemakers demand $12 a week or $2 a day. Now, we will suppose that these shoemakers are men of families averaging five persons each. We will suppose further that their health demands their having three meals each day. This would give 105 meals a week. Putting the cost at 10 cents a meal, requires $10.50 a week for food, leaving $1.50 a week for all other expenses, provided $12 a week is secured. At $9 per week the shoemaker with a family of five persons would be in debt 50 cents at the end of each week for food. At the price demanded by the Chicago shoemakers, as we have sbowa, only $1.50 is left after paying for food, tj meet every other expense rent, fuel, clothing doctor's bills, etc. At this trying juncture the six Chinese companies of San Francisco, whose business it is to import Sepoys, offer 1,500 of these heathens at seventy-five cents per day, or $4.50 per week, the amount that the government pays workingmen in Washingtonwho dig for the foundations of government buildings. The Chicago shoe manufacturers want to drive a bargain, and offer sixty cents a day, or $1 uer week, and at these slave figures American workmen will be compelled -to toil and starve, .quit work and starve or join the army of tramps.. The situation viewed from any standpoint is an ugly one and well calculated to lead to the most serious complications. Under the circumstances it is not surprising that laboring people feel dis

satisfied. From day to day their condition is growing worse, and, as if to knock Irom under them the last prop pon which a . hope may rest, ol bettering their condition they are asked to compete with the heathen Chinese for woft at wages which only those in the grasp of starvation would accept So far as we are advistl the entire radical press favor the im portation of Chinese and the degradation of worklngnen. The radical demand for a large staiding army has no signification except so shoot down workingmen who may revoit at starvation wages. The lidical orgais with scarcely an exception advocate a fihylock policy. It is to be hoped that the Chicago shoe manufacturers will not introduce Chinese shoemakers to work at starvation wages. It will be amistake. It is nt prudent to exasperate workngmen beyond the possibility of endurance. It la a terrible relation that there are millions of willing worrs in the United State who can not purch, food. The policy should be to reduce rathe than increase their number. .The people a now reaping the bitter fruits of radical cu,,.3 The mil lions of hungry people in the cntry ere bo many haggard protests against radicalism. It has eaten into the vitals of business ite a cancer. It has burrowed beneath-the 60cia, political, business and financial superstructures like rats, until every one realizes that danger is impending. It has degraded labor and made it possible for American workingmen to work for slave wages or perish, and this party with the impudence of ten thousand devils asks to be placed in supreme command of the government, but the verdict will"be that Chiness and radicalism must retire. Voting in Canada is not as simple a matter as it is in Indiana, and the chances for cheating are reduced to nothing. There is a great deal of caution used both as regards the place of voting and the preparation of the ballot The St John, New Brunswick, Telegraph says of the performance that "each polling place has to be divided Into 'two apartments, cither by an ordinary par'tition or by a screen. In the outer of these, 'where the ballot-box is kept, will ba the presiding officer, his clerk and the certified 'representatives of the candidates, Ao 'others will be admitted into this apartment 'except the voters, and they will only be ad'mitted one at a time by the constable by 'whom the door of the polling place is 'guarded. One voter must be disposed ot 'and retire from the polling place before an'other Is admitted. Upon the voter presenting himself to the presiding officer the latter 'will look over the list and if bis name is 'found upon it he will have the right to 'vote, subject to challenge from the certified representatives of the candidates pres'ent The voter will then be furnished by 'the presiding officer with a ballot on which I 'the presiding officer will place his initials, 'and on the counterfoil attached to It he will 'place the number of the billot, which number shall be the same as the number of the voter's name on the voting list in the clerk's 'book. The"ballot will contain in alphabetic 'cal order the names of all the candidates. 'On receiving it the voter will be requested 'by the presiding officer to retire to the inner 'apartment, or behind the screen, and there 'make a cross in pencil opposite the name of 'the candidate or candidates for whom he 'wishes to vote. Should the voter be illiterate 'the presiding officer and the representatives, who have previously been iworn to secrecy,

'will retire with tie voter, who will then be 'asked for whom he wishes to vote, and the 'presiding officer will mark, in the presence 'of the representatives, the ballot as desig'nated by the voter. The voter on returning 'to the outer room will present his ballot to 'the presiding officer, folded in such a way 'that the latter can see his initials upon it 'and see that the number on the counterfoil 'agrees with the cumber on the bollot On

'finding that the numbers agree and that it J 'is the same ballot which he gave the voter, 'the presiding officer will tear off and destroy 'the counterfoil and place the ballot in the 'box. The voter will then retire, and an'other will be admitted to vote." nESDRincs, McDonald and Voorhees are at loggerheads on the currency question, which, the democrats have made the leading issue. Mr. Voorhees is one of the most extreme advocates of the repeal of the resuYnptlon act and the adoption of unlimited and irredeemable paper scrip; Mr. McDonald is one of the most consistent and conservative "fcound money" men in the west; and Mr. Hendricks, as usual, is making a desperate effort to straddle so as to cover ail sides of the case. General Harrison does not fall to make the most out of this triangular democracy, thongh, for lack of space, we ilo not print all be had to say about it The campaign in Indiana Is being run by the democrats to elect Voorhees to the senate, and if Messrs. McDonald and Hendricks have fo lowers In their Hate who hold tbetr views too high to stultify them by contributing to Voorhees' success, the Voorhees campaign may be a very bad failure. Chicago Tribune. The radical press throughout the country are endeavoring to make it appear that Messrs. Hendricks, McDonald and Voorhees, as the Tribune expresses it "are at .logger'heads on the currency question." Nothing could be more absolutely false. The statement is strictly in keeping with radical mendacity. The radical organs, candidates and stamp speakers have started out in the campaign to utilize lieing. We doubt if there is a single instance on record where they have told the truth in combatting democratic principles or in stating the position of the democratic party upon the leading issues of the campaign. The tact is, the three distinguished democrats named by the Tribune indorse the financial doctrine set forth in the democratic platform adopted by the democracy of Indiana on the 20th of February last. This fact ought to be sufficient to make the radical press stop their nonsensical lying about democratic disagreements upon financial Issues. The democratic party favors gold, silver and paper money, and demands, in the aggregate, "such amounts as the sound business interest of the country from time 'to time require." The platform declares: That national hank notes shall be retired, and In lieu thereof there Bhall be Issued by the government an equal amount of treasury notes with fuU legal tender quality. That we are In favor of making the United States notes, commonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender in payment of all debts, pub lie aud private, except such obligations only as are by the terms of the orlglual contracts under which they were issued, expressly payable In coin. That the right to Issue paper money as well t as-coin is the exclusive prerogative of the government, and such money should be Issued in such amounts s the sound busines Interests of the country may from time to time require. The Chicago Tribune knows full well that the democratic party of Indiana Btands squarely on the w declarations. Democrats are in favor of "hard" money and of "soft" money, and they want enough of it to transact the legitimate business of the country. The propriety of wasting time to stamp the life out ot the radical lies may well be considered. A radical organ of average capacity, when in good lying order, can manufacture lies of various sizes to suit the market to the extent of about 5,000 a day, or something over 1,000,000 a year. At this rate the entire batch of radical organs would produce about 700,000,000 lies against the democratic party annually. According to the Washington Tost the Philadelphia Press indulges in such profound sympathy for the southern negro that it has been prompted to print the following remarkable lie: When the best colored men like Senator Bruce feel it proper to leave their states, and when the lower c: asses of negroes, as in South Carolina, flock to Liberia, braying the dangeis of the sea and of lxnorant conduct, It argues a diseased condition of society. How can the south expect imndgratlon when her own citizens are leaving Iter boundaries to enrich the uorthren btatej far off Liberia? The Tost shows very conclusively that I there was not tha slightest necessity for the Press to he about Bruce or the southern negros ' generally, for it had published on the 15th of April last an Interview with uator Bruce on which that distinguished repfbntative of his rjice said: "Times extremely hard in Mississippi ,bat there is a disiion on the part of ev white and color, to eo wo, fc, and the state everyooa tnd xwsp will yet become one the most prosperous in Then, holding mat opinio, you would not rise vour neooie to leave Mltfiv.innl?" ad V i ho your tteopie to leave Mi.-Sw "No. my earnest advice to the colu.-d neorl in to remain In the south. The climate, products of the soil, everything make the souiu the best place for the colored people. There is no good reason why they should leave, and there is every reason why they should not go to Africa. This movement to Africa I, particularly oppose. The people emigrating there will have everything to contend against; unfriendly natives, oppressive climate, and a generation will have lived and died before they can establish themselves there. It is a scheme to enrich others at the expense ot the colored people who can be duped luto going. Our people are well. enough off in the south. Their greatest ned is a little common educationcommon schools." "Can't this want be supplied?" "It can by practical means. I hold that we who mage great pretensions of friendship for the colored people fall to serve them when we neglect to point out their real needs and help them to these tilings. - We spend toouiuch time in pointing them to a IL'opla, and we must teach them that they niTist rise as the white people have risen that tht re is no royal road to lndepec deuce. The colored people must elevate themselves by hard blows, and they are learning this fact rapidly." "In your state is not considerable property owned by colored citizens?" "Oh, yes, sir; they are acquiring plantations, and they own and pay taxes on a great deal more property tl.an Is generally supposed. In fact, a colored man la the largest tax-payer In our state." "What will be the political policy of your people In Mississippi and the south?" "I don't think politics will ever Interfere with the progress of our people. All the bitterness and prejudice seems to have worn away, and both races are struggling together for the common good. You never hear any more ef the antagonisms between the races tnat nsed to exist, and it is evident there is a letter time coming for the entire south. I think the colored people outht to make a union with the lest whites and elect the men to office who will see that they have good schools. That is their firut great need. Give them eduoatlon mid all the rest will come In good time." It la well enotgh to put Buch lies as the Tress tells to rest, because they are designed to work mischief by misleading the people, but the Philadelphia Press will go on lying as usual, for whr.ch, as it deserves, it will be d d in due ttmo. Toe annual assembly at Chautauqua of earnest Sunday-school workers is productive of much good. It quickens the whole body of Sunday-school teachers and pupils, and by Infusing knowledge of ways and means fo the improvement of the great adjunct of

the Protestant church, does more to revive

the Christian zeal of castors and reoole than C M may be generally known. This season much close work has been done, much future study planned, many suggestions offered, mneh absolute growth attained. A literary and scientific circle has been formed, and already great interest has sprung up in the detailed plan for labor in this manner. In this connection a letter written by the late William Cnllen Bryant to Dr. J. H. Vincent superin tendent of the Chautauqua assembly, will not be without interest Inasmuch as he so definitely explains the purpose of such a circle ana the Incalculable advantage that will result to the earnest student who will study the Bible thus with all the light and help that can be gathered. Mr. Bryant wrote: New York, May 18, 1878w My Dear Sir-I can not be present at the meeting called to organize the Chautauqua literary and scientific circle, but I am glad that such a movement Is on foot, and wish It the fullest sncceas. There is an attempt to make science, or a knowledge of the laws of the material universe, an ally of the school which denies a separate spirit ial existence and a future life; in short, to borrow of science weapons to be used against Christianity. The friends of religion, therefore, confident that one truth never contradicts another, are doing wisely when they seek to accustom the people at large to think and to weigh evidence, as well as to believe. By giving a portion of their time to a vigorous train in g.of the Intellect and a stndy of tbe best books, men gain the power to deal satlsfactorUy with qnesUons with which the mind might otherwise become bewildered.
