Lu the Kamblins business of Monte Carlo is said to be child's play compared with Mce and Paris. . That pjrtion of the Republican press ertlich continues to have faith in Blaine is enra-jd in an effort to crush Shipheri, who nunüH to interest Blaine, as Secretary of State, in his scheme to rob Tern. Blaine friend deface their idol every time they strike Shipherd. Thk physicians of Senator Ben Hill, of Georgia, tell him to make arrangements to die within twelve months. The Senator contemplates death with philosophical compesnre, and says: "I have lived fifty-eight years, and I suppose no man ever lived Sfty-eight happier years. It maybe bebt thAl they be all." Thk Indian population of Canada, according to a recent census, is 107,722, and to take caxe of thce redskins the Canadian Gov ern -n-n has appropriate! $o0,2i'for the year 1 SSI-82. Ab rut one half of these Canadian Indians are on reserves, the remainder are wanierera In the wildsrnes, as t&eir fathers were; bat Canada never has an IndU i war on its hands. A Vasmsgtos letter writer, in making a pen picture of Mr. Secretary Chandler, who now Las charge of Uncle Sara's Naval scrw, s ys "he i3 no doubt a very able man. bat a more ordinary looking man docs not exist.

Ti:e New York T.-ibuiie, which don't take much tt jck in S.alwartism of the Conkling, Grant and Doa Cameron style, writes to Don as follows: "Why not change the name of your Stata to Sinnnsylvania, or Donsylania. or Camerontown.or Dönberg? A plain, blunt man like you ousht to call things by their proier tit'es." And why not name the Empire State New Conk or fctrutland; and Maize, Jimger Blainedorn?

Seymour i.ever. Tho Republican papers generally seem to be in jtut that fix "a barrel of water on oae shoulder and a keg of beer on the . other." They are fixed to "eoteh de cc.n agwir.e or acoruir.'." Now and then you catch a Republican who reserxb'es th dwarf in "Kip Van Winkle," who uliured Rip to the top of the Cattkills with a ken of "forty rod," while an average lU publican like3 to be lared in just that way, and will make the sort of a trip tha "Jtjv" did without mucb taxing. Govkksor St. Johx, o Kansas, was recent!; iu St. Louis, and was interviewed by a rep;? -entative of the republican. In the report of the interview we find the following: . "There have beea letters written from your Sua 'overnor, in which com alai at was made by CjoJ German citizens that a certain article of their cktwaj denied tbeta." Th FijU and the aveea of the OanKibal Inlands have poeuli.ir articles ol diet. They like 'nice fat bthi-is, well roasted. B it wbeu they come t;i this country they are cot allowed to bring ta :lr customs with them. We welcome the -Cermii.s aal other clashes to thi-, country, but we dou'c propose to have the country forciguled or Germanized. " Bach language is characteristic of foolUh fanatics.

It would be very states manlike and a line stroke of fair dealing pon i he part of aXegislator elected by an atnU-irf,'iibitcry constituency to vote in favor t the prohibitory amendment in order that it might be su5mitted to the people. To gx to ths people the amendment innst pass the next Legislature.

' Thk I::rtitigatin2 Committee of t!ie Na tional JJouse of Representatives seems to ."!wve taken the job of shielding Blaine from thr indignation of the country. Shicherd was ready to produce before the Committee a rote of General Grnnt on the Peruvian Company's concerns; a letter by President JGarht-ld' Private Secretary, giving notice tltatthe Shipherd paper?, which are known as th j iip-in documents,' had been sent to . f :n-cary Blaice perjonally, which would : aer int for their non-appearance on the files tf the State Department, but which, at the .ine tiae, would show that these 'misiing

documents which, are the chief objects of

the inquiry, must have gone into Mr, crnic" his commanications on the l'eruvi J an Conpny'smafers with Secretary Blaine ! the Amola correspondence and other docu ments, all enabling the Committee and the public to ee what was done, and by whom. toward advancing, by the help of the power and influence of the Government, the pri vale and secret objects of the Peruvian Company." Those who remember Blaine' testimony in regard to the missing docu tnents are now able to eee just where the Sloe pinches, and why it is that Shlpherd is not permitted to testify. The bottom facts s'iould be known and the infamy of the Peruvian business should be exposed. SALT LIONOPOLIES.' Statements from entirely authentic sources show that the salt monopoly of the United Stateiis one. of the most iniquitous of all the brood of monopolies that Las been hatched under tbeyiviüc influence of pro tection, and kept in robust life by a tariff which has for iU chief characteristic the guardianship of practices peculiar to free booters. In a recent speech made by Mr, llt-.rch, of Missouri, he demonstated. be yond cavil, that the salt monopoly of the United States is a thoroughly organized systsm of robbery without one single redeem iug quality. V'hat is strange about such matters is that a few monopo lists can in the face of all things just, honorable and equitable main tain their ascendency in Congress, and by the vote of the people's representatives perptnate their robberies. Mr.Hatch preseuted in his speech a comparative statement of the salt industry of the country according to the census reports of 1800, 1870 and 1880, and from these fctatements it appears, said if r. Hatch, that "the number of establishments manufacturing salt in the United States in 1SS0 was 2C.1; in 1870, ten years before, there .--.,- - z- a k 1 t il werezs; in ikoj, iwcnty. years Deiore, mere were .199. But mark the increase in the pro duct. In 1800 there were produc?d 12,717,193 bushels; in 1370 there were produced 17.G0G 105 bushels: and in 1SS0 there were produced 20,899,29 bushels. I call the at tention of the Committee to the3e facts because they show tbat while the number of establishments has decreased by reason of the monopoly and the close corporations that control the manufacture of salt, the prod uce itself hes increased in twenty years near ly 109 per cent. The average number of hands employed in the entire industry in theäe 2CA e-tabli3hments isj males, 3,920; females, 15; children, 140; total, 4,075. And yet o protect the owners of 2üisalt es tab iahments in the United States, employing about 4,100 laborers, all the industries of the Hi. ited States using salt in large quantities are taxed about 100 per cent, on the value of lhe amount u3ed,-or twelve cents on every 100 pounds imported in packages." "Hut the iniquity of this alt tax," continued Mr. ila-cb, 'lies in the fact that these two hunrcd and sixty-four manufactories of salt are really represented by three or four, perhaps not to exceed fcix pools, syndicates or monopolies in the United States; two in Michi gan, one in New York, one in West Virginia, and probably one in Ohio. I will show that the price of salt is fixed, not by the manufacturers, not by the amount produced, not by the supply and demand; but it is fixed by the pool or syndicates representing every single one of these salt-works. In this way they are freezing out a great many of these smaller manufacturers. They manufacture so much a month, and when they find the amount of stock they have on band they place on it a price to suit themselves. And even the manufacturers, except through these syndicates, have nothing to do with the price fixed on salt1 from month to month." At Saginaw, Mich., 12,009.090 bushels of salt were made n One concern made 15,000 barrels per month at a C93t not exceeding zs cents per barrel, including the cost of the barrel, all of which was sold by the pool-mater at 90 cents per barrel over 59 ceat3 per barrel clear profit, or $7,500 per month clear profit Now eyery fanner and every packer in the West paid G cent3 per bushel, or 21 cents pt r barrel, of that proGt because of the duty of imported salt. Even with salt duty' free the Sa-inaw profit would bo 25 cents per barrel, and their industry would not suffer. All the sa!e3 of talt are pooled. No producer of salt sells bis own product. Monthly reports of production are made to the pool master1, who takes the account and fixes prices, and in this way competition -disappears and prices are maae at any ngure iuai the necessities of the people will enable these monopolists to extort. The argument used by protectionists is that the ealt industry oucht to be protected, and tt protect about 4,009 laborers engaged in the manufacture of salt, four hundred times four thousand laborers arc compelled to pay tax on salt of abont 100 er cent on the cost of production. To further show the almost unparalleled infamy of the tariff which compels the jeople to pay 100 per cent, advance on salt above its cost, a statement prepared by the Superintendent of the Census is published showing the number of beef and pork packing establishments in the United Siates, and the number of hands employed by them, tie This statement of rucat packing as per census of 18S0 ia as follows: Number of eta.ilshmenta ....

It is

simply robbery. In closing his remarks, Mr. Hatch aaid: I will print in this concoction a table kladiy furnished me by the eminent statistician of the

Agricultural Department,ehowlng the importation of Turk's Island salt, ground alum salt and for eign salt, that the packer of beef and pork is com' pelled to use. Not only that, but all the fisheries of New England are compelled to use the same kind of salt. Every gentleman who know anything about the fish business of the United 8tatcs knows that every kit of mackerel is packed with this coarse salt, aal tuey can not uso auy thing ebe If they would save their fish. But the Ingenuity and ability of for mer representatives from New En land upon tnis lioor, loug years ago. got the fishiug interest of New England absolved from the tribute of this salt tax, so that tbeynow get their sdt with which to pack their fish duty free, and they have enjoyed this privilege for ten years under existing law. But the great Mississippi Valley, that produces the cattle and hogs and a large part of the wealth of the country, Is still obliged to pay that tribate to the 251 salt manufacturers. And there la another Industry which you bur den by this tax the great agricultural aud stockraising interests The gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Ilorr), ia the tables which heJprioU la his Rpeeca bhowlng the comparative cheapness of Michigan salt, forgets that It Is a bulky article, a weighty article, and that the cost of transports tion by rail from the salt works In Michigan and West Virginia to New York is very great, lie talks abont the price of S'Ut at tho salt-works. I will print tables from Chicazo, and St. Louis, and Hannibal, and Keokuk. audSL Paul, showing the average price of salt for the last two or three years at th distributing points of the Mississippi Valley. It is tü9 cost of transportation that makes it dear to ths farmer and stock raiser. If you will remove this odious restriction from salt we will have, as we had years ago whea salt was free, piles of it in New Orleans, and every steamer that plies the Mississippi River will carry more or less of it at low and very cheap rate3. It must not be forgotten that this talt in iquity has gone, with all the rest of the protection wrongs, to the Tariff Commission, to be reported upon at some future time. Meanwnile the salt monopolies will continue to grow rich by sefling their salt at the high est price they can extort from a tariff-cursed people. Thus no other war is left foranv party, old or new, involving any large part of the pvov'lc, toeo-operate together honefily thl3 year, but to exact a pledge Irom ranaidates that win vote theae question over t the people to be settled by a vote without regard to party, wherein the Assemblymen 9 well as otheis, can all vose their individual cnti meats. Upou "this plan it d -es not matter much with voters whether candidates are re.illy in fvor of the voters' notions on tiisa pending questions, as the people at the polls will have theui to decide by vote. Porter Cuanty Vidcttc. The afcove is a specimen of the sort of "bosh" that is to be found in nearly every Republican paper in the State regarding the prohibitory ameudment. The Vidette talks about the Legislature "voting the question over to the people." Is it possible that it does not know that the next Legislature has no powet to do anything of the kind? The State Constitution has settled it, and if the Legislature passes favorably npon the pro hibitory amendment it expressly states that the amendment mitt be submit ted. If that body votes against the amendment then it is dead, and the Legis lature has no power "to rote the question over to the people." Therefore the necessity of fall and free discussion that members of the Legislature may know exactly what to do. The Democracy are inviting and insist ing upon a brave, manly and courageous discussion, and the Republican papers and party seem to be skulking behind a paper screen yelling, "Oh, don't let's talk about the darned thing; let's submit it to the people." Was there ever such a disgraceful dodging of au issne and grave responsibility! CUUGENT KOm.

Thi following eneouragiog lucldent of negro education in the South Is given by the Kaleigh (X. C.)

Widow know tht Minister L. P.

Springfield r.cpubTn following utterance from Cameron's home organ, the llarrlsburg Telegraph, may be- "considered an oGiclal warning to Senator Mitchell to come back to the fold ot be excommunicated. As Senator Mitchell has already taken tho excommunication Into hi own bands, it Is ciflicult to see what force the Cameron sealcAnaild to the document: "We tell Senator Mitchell, iu tie tdnccrity of friendship, that lu fate m ill I cither that of Wolfe in the State or ostracism end uselessnees while Senator at Washington. And for this Tcason : the utter impracticability ot Wharton Biker andhh fatellltes, under whos9 coatrol atnator Mitchell has lately placed himself, will uct allow that freedom of action which a Senator

must uecewarily have. Within a very few months this crowd will demand of Senator Mitchell that he shall pursue a certain course at Washington. If he accede, he knows that his influence will be at an end, aud the respect in which he is held by

his colleagues will depart; if he docs not accede, ha will be hounded and abused by his present fl&tttrers with the s'jne ferocity and malignancy that have been hepedon Wolfe. Ills action is not to be for a day, or a year, but for life, and because we desire John I. Mitchell to remain what he always has been, an able and influential Republican, we hope he will reconsider and retract his letter, which bears npon Its face evidence of having been hastily conceived and inj udlciously published." Thekx seems to be an Idea ar5ong some of our friends abroad that there is a troublesome division in the ranks of tho Democratic party in Georgia. This is a mistake. Taero is no lack of harmony among the people so fdr as we can perceive; certainly there is so lack of harmony In the Democratic party. There have been, during the past year or two, minor divisions in the Democratic I -arty', appertaining to certain methods of organization in regard to which there was large room for differences of opinion. Bui to-day, In the presence of the new dtnger threatened by tho efforts of a Stalwart Republican Administration to defeat and destroy the Democratic party in Georgia, these minor differences have bcon tompoutided. Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution (Dem.) An exchange says that "the James boys had a morose and ugly disposition." This may be regarded as authentic. The James boys were not only morose, but they were at times irritable. Jesse James at different times killed over fifty men. This would show that he mast have been soured by some great sorrow. No man who is healthy, and full of animal spirits, could kill the able-bodied voters of a whole village unless he felt cross and taciturn naturally. There should have been a post mortem examination of Mr. James to determine what the Matter was with hin. We were in favor of a post-mortem examination of Mr. James twelve years ago, but there seemed to be a feeling of reluctance on the part of the authorities about boldlug It. Detective Pinkerton was the most considerate. At first he said he would hold an autopsy on Mr. James right away, but it consumed so much lime holdlag autor-sies on his Detectives that he postponed Jesse's post-mortem for a long time. Detectives are tcmetimes considered hard-hearted and unloving in their natures, but this is not the case. Very few of them can bear to witnes the shedding of blood, especially their own blood.

Wealth In the Senate. 1 Portland Argus. 1 The present Senate contains at least a score of Senators not one of whom is worth less than $200.000. The richest man is, of course, Fair, of Nevada, who probably pos-ieses as much a? al.1 the other Senators together. Next to him is David Davis, of Illinois, a widower, who is reputed to be the possessor of millions. It is somewhat dilhcult to name the Senator whose fortune ranks third in size, .but if Eugene Ilale, of Maine, has received the mantle of his father in-law, Z'.ch Chandler, with its welllined pockets, his fortune ia nearly as large as that of David Davis. The wife of Senator Hale is the only daughter of the late Senator Zach Chandler.

TOE CnKISTIANCY CASE.

The Testimony of Oi Kx-Snator-Hli Wife's Ability to Lot Three Mu About the Same Time. Washington, May2ö. In the ChrUtiancy divorce tuit, the testimony of ex Senator Christiancy is being taken. ' In connection witu it several important letters have beeu put in evidence, among them a lone letter written by Christiancv on the IS h" of Au gust, 1878, to his wife's father. J..hn W. Lugerbeel, with regard toMrs. Ctiristiancv's alleged bad conduct. It begins with refer ence to correspondence between the writer and Mrs. Lugenbeel before their " marriage. correspondence in wnicü Cnnstiancy savs , iie endeavored carefully and scrupulously to convince hei she ought not to marry him, and in which he Insisted many times she should recon sider the matter, lie admitted he loved ner, anafcaid if after full and mature con sideration, shestili wi&hfd to marry him. he would consent, ytie declared see still wished htm to make her his wife, and aa a gentle man be had enly one course to take, , The marriage took Mace, and if the love which she professed for him had reallv existed. nothing, he says, could have made him hap pier, un tue morning of the wedding, however, she heard of tne return of James Lngenbeel and fainted. When they reached Philadelphia and were aione, me told him sne had been en gaged to Lugenbeel, that the engagement had been broken off and did not know how deeply she loved him until his name was mentioned. She said she had perjured herseu in her marriage tojts, was miserable, and wanted a divorce forthwith. When they returned to this city all went well un til sne met Lugenbeel m an art gallery, and from that time she seemed dejected and desperate, and again asked for a divorce. Soon after this Frank Anderson became attentive to her, and her allections seemed to attach themselves alternately to him and to Lugenbeel. and again came the frenzy for a divorce. Finallv she quieted down and apieared to think more of her husband. After she returned heme in Au gust, 187, her Jove for Anderson broke out afresh, and her hatred for her husband increased. She also had a fondness for Sam Aegister, of Laltimore, and for one Maver. She often declared she wished her husband dead, and 8iid he was all that stood be tween her aud happiness. Cristiancy then refers to the fact that his wife went to Healing springs in preiererce to going io Saratoga or Kansas with him, and says he felt suspicious she had gone to the springs with some old lover. When the wrote to him she taunted him with being old, did not pretend to love him, said she would not live with him; that she would spend all the monev she pleased that she would run him in debt, and that she wanted a divorce. The husband replied he would not quarrel with her, nor would he be ruined in the way she proposed PKI.UKVAL PEOPLE. Evidences aof the insistence of a Peculiar Kace of the Unman Family. ' St. Pacl, Minn., May 24. A" remarkable find is rejorted of relics of the Moundbuilders in the Red River Valley, the only deposit yet found in this region of this extinct race. A skull of heroic size and singular formation has just been turned over to the Historical Society for examination. The mound where it was found is sixty feet in diameter at the base and twelve feet high, on the top of that wave of land running from Detroit to St. Vincent, adis'anceof nearly two hundred mile?, varying in width at the top from forty rods to half a mile, and knowu through all that country as "the Pembina trail." The Snake River cut-i this range tweve miles from Warren, running through a gorge with banks full one hundred fee; high. Not more than seven or eight rods from the south bank the mound, which was penetrated by drifting from one of the sides-to the center, stands in lonely oddity. The monnd itself is of sand and gravel, and totally unlike the components of "the trail," proving that the builders must have carried their loads from the lower ground. Near the center the excavaters found the bones of more than ten persons, males and females, and mixed with them bones of badgers, horses and hogs. The skull referred to is the most perfect specimen. The other one crumbled upon being exposed to the air; but the skull in question is as firm and whole as if taken from a doctor's studio. The upper teeth are gone, and the interior maximillary is, of course, wanting. The pelvic bones and femurs fgund near it are abnormally large, and give conclusive evidence that the owners were of giant stature. The skull is not particularly striking, except that the mark of the hair line remains, and shows tiiatof forehead little was iossesfced. At the bae of the skull is a protuberent formation, which may have been peculiar to the race or the individual. The breadth between the temporal bones is about ttie same as in the average 'Caucasian, bet the dome is more edie-like, and contains less cavity for gray matter. The "Pembino trail," on which the mound was built, is of iL-elf a peculiar formation, and has been eo regarded for years. One of the wise men of our Historical Society holds to the theory that when I land appeared from the primeval sea this ridge was the forerunner, and syainst it the waters beat, piling up the gravel and stones which form so large a part of its material.

THE MORAVIAN MAS ACRE. Centennial Celebration of a Krntal Itutchery A Terrible Itemiuinrence. GsAfrENHrTTES, O., May 21. The centennial anniversary of the horrible massacre of ninety-six Moravian Christian Indians at this placa was observed to-day with solemn and imposing Ctrtmonies, and attracted the largest attendance of people ever before a.sernbed in Eastern Ohio. The day opened bright and clear, and long before dawn men, women and children, on foot, on hTse-back and in all kinds of coiiveyantf j, came pr.unng into the streets of this historical old Moravian town, on the banks of the Tuscarawas, to witness the services commemorative ol the sad and awful tragedy enacted here 100 years ag. The early excursion trains on the Pan-Handle, both Kaat and West, brought thousands of visitors and guests from abroad, and before 10 o'clock the town was crowded, the streets and allevs and byways being completely blockaded by the deuse mass of struggling humanity, ail eager and amicus, for the ceremonies tobegin. Governor Pester a.rived here from the East on his way from Washington this morning, und, with other distinguished visitors, was escorted to the residence of L. D. Windsch, Chairman of the Committee on Arrangements, where he was entertained during the dav. Secretary of State Townsend, G. H. Hiedt and other visitors of distinction from Columbus arrived at 11 o'clock, and Senator D. A. Hollingsworth, the orator of the day, come on the excuraion train from the East. Monumental Park, where the ceretuouus were conducted, is now used as a cemetery, and is filled with obectn of deep and abiding interest to all here. To the west side of the park stands the Monument which marks the exact spot where these Christian martyrs met death with such heroic fortitude one hundred years ago. This Monument is thirty-five feet high, was erected in June, 18S2. and bears the following appropriate inscription: Hero triumphed in death Ninety six Moravian Christian Indians, Marya 8 17H1. Unadenhatten. ien ieei 10 me eas oi me .Monarunt a finger board marks the spot where stood the Muston House iu which the Moravians held their last worship, a few moments before their slaughter by the heartless white settlers. A little further to the east is an old apple tree, planted by the Indians in 1770, and has stood iu the storms of a century, as a silent witness to the shocking tragedy which crimsoned the watera of the Tuscarawas with the blood of innocent and defenceless men, women and children. It is still fruitful. A few paces to the south of the Monument another finger board marks the spot where stood the cooper shop ii) which the victims of the tragedy were slaughtered. The exercie-i began at 11 o'clock with a very touching address of welcome by Bishop H. J. Vaovleck, of the Moravians, which was followed by a bym'i from the choir. Senator D. A. Hollingsworth, the orator of the day, then stepped to the front and delivered a very masterly oration, in which all the details of the terrible and shocking tragedy, were rehearsed with telling et'.ect. During its entire delivery the audience, consisting of upwards of 5-.000 people were held spellbound. After Senator Hollingsworth's oration a recess was taken for refreshments, and promptly at 3 o'clock Governor Foster delivered a short address and was followed by Secretary of State TowncEd, State Auditor Oglevie and P.ev. Hartman, of the Moravian Church at London, Ontario. A very interesting feature of the c ereites wa3 the three Delaware Indians from New Fairfield, Cana da, who are the lineal descendants of one of the families murdered htfe 100 years ago. Jacob, the older Indian, addressed the vast assemblage by an interpreter, in which lie stated mat nis grand mother was a victim of the massacre. The other Indian, Sionefish, who is herewith his wife, addressed the audience in English. Thomas and one whose grandfather. Colonel Vance, toot part in the aiasacre, was here from Cross Creek, Pa , and Henry B. Luckenbanch, grandson of the-renowned missionary, Heck welder, came from Pethlehem, Pa., with his wife, to participate in the exercis.es. James bimpson, irom cross creeic, was also here, and in a conversation with a press correspondent last night said- that CploiK-1 Williamson, tha commander of the Guadeiihutten expedition, afterward died in Jail in Washington County, Pennsylvania, whtre he was confined for not paving a fine assessed on him 5or keeping a tiling house.
