TaE Harrison administration is certainly not devoting itself strenuously to civil-service reform as ‘‘she is wrote,’’ but do we hear much popular outery against it on that account?

PrESIDENT HARRISON is now trying humorous paragraphs on his callers. He should be warned off. Many an able statesman has beenruined, as well as many a wit, by indulgences of this sort. :

ApriL 23, when the people of Massachusetts will vote on the guestion of prohibition, the Australian ballot system comes mnto operation for the first time in that commonwealth. In Indiana it will not be tried until November, 1890. S

MuRrAT HALSTEAD, the rejected of the senate, was very ill at the time he was “done up.” It is. to be hoped that he will speedily recover all his old-time strength. This is a time when his editorials on the senate should have a great run.

THE recent appointments by the president do not show at all that President Harrison is Blaine’s man. Not in the least. They only show that Mr. Blaine is President Harison’s man, and that Mr. Blaine’s men are all his men, too—men after his own heart.

TrE Chicago Tribune facetiously remarks that the great heart of ‘the country will go eut in tender sympathy toward the poor Standard Oil company, one of whose trusted agents in Michigan has vanished with several hundred dollars of the company’s hardearned money. , :

ALLEN W. THURMAN, son of ‘the grand Old Roman,’ proposes to run for governor ot Ohio this year, and it seems to be a good year for sons. Still it might be well for Allen Wx to calculate carefully. Just now the call seems to be overwhelmingly for Hon. James E. Campbell, the invincible “Butler pony.”’ ' ‘

PCRTLAND, Me., has more Odd Fellows in proportion to its population than any other town in the world. One out of every four of the citizens over 21 belong to the order, and the seven lodges of the city have a fund of $149,615.74. The richest lodge is the Unity, which has $34,430 in its treasury. : S

MURAT HALSTEAD was twice rejected by the Republican senate as minister to Germany, solely because ‘he had been too free with his pen in discussing these gentlemen at various times. This is a great blow at frank and fearless journalism. It'saves Mr. Halstead to the country, however, and probably will not blunt his frank and fearless pen. , o

THE PURCHASE of big American breweries by an English syndicate continues to go on, the three leading ones in Rochester, N. Y., havjng last week fallen into this syndicate’s hands. Perhaps this may lead"to the elimination of beer from our politics, and yet it must be remembered that beer has been a potent element in English politics ever since the mob originated that stirring refrain against the lords: “Would ye rob a poor man of his beer?"’

PRESIDENT HARRISON, the Cleveland Plaindealer says, *‘is treating his newspaper friends to diplomatic sugar plums. That is right. Newspapers do the most effective work in helping politicians into office, but the politician in office generally forgets that help as soon as he can. A diplomatic position is in the nature of a vacation to a newspaper man and President Harrison has shown commendable gratitude it giving se many of the boys a good va-cation-with a fair amount for expenses. They have earned it.”’ ; ,

Cor. C. C. Malson, late demoeratic candidate for governor, has after all succeeded in becoming officially connected with the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago (Monon) railway—having last week been appointed assistant solicitor of that corporation, at a salary of $2,500 per annum. ' There was, after the death of Col. Friedley, some prospect of Col. Matson being appointed chaef solicitor, but Judge Field managed to get ahead of him. The genial colonel has already entered upon the discharge of his duties, with headquarters at his old home, Greencastle.

PresipeNT HARRISON himself, the New York World says, “would hardly deny that Robert Lincoln’s illustrious parentage had much to do with his se-

lection for the English mission. And yet no one will deny that the -son lras‘ proved worthy of his sire in the essential attributes of a noble character. Robert Lincoln is held in high esteem at home and will command respect abroad. He will make a safe and - ereditable Minister, if not a brilliant one. He isa quiet, self-contained man, ignoring gommon machine politics, —be never ‘slops over.’”

ScrENTIFIC MEN prediet another general epidemic of yellow fever this year. The basis of this predietion is in the absence of frost this winter in the districts infected last summer. As frost is the only exterminator of the germs of this dreaded scourge, the fears ef specialists seem to have rational basis. The pecuniary loss resulting from the epidemic last year is estimated at $25,000,000 and the liyes lost at 2,500.

THE CONSTANT INCREASE of negroes in Mississippi, for they seem to be flocking to that state from all parts of the South, is causing some uneasiness down there. A newspaper of that state estimates that the census of 1890 will show 356,921 more colored than white persons within its borders. Itis needless to add that real estate in Mississippi is not advancing under this extraordinary condition of affairs. The whites are as eager to move out as the blacks appear to be to move in. |

Mgs. HARrISON has created quite a hub-bub by clearing out the colored help atthe White House, some of which has been there a great many years, and substituting white help. The colored women in the laundry have been superseded by white women and white men cooks haye taken charge of the kitchen. Some of the colored people are somewhat put out over these changes, but sensible people generally contend that Mrs. Harrison has an undoubted right to determine the complexion of her servdafits.

THAT well-informed and always reliable paper, the Albany Times, says it is a géneral misstatement on the part of various journals that Corporal Tannerlost both legs. His legs, that paper says, are intact above the ankle. But his sufferings are still acute. Heisa regular attendant during the summer at Round Lake, in New York state, and his misery there, resulting from his ancient wounds, has been illustrated by nichts of moaning. It 1s torture to him to stand or walk. There is no patent relief for him, as there is for a lost leg, for there is no leverage by which a patent foot can be strapped as a leg may. But with all this torture upon him, the corporal has continued all through to be an active and a pushing man. o

IN THE COURSE of an admirable and thoughtful speech on the subject of a pure ballot, Mr. Saxton, a member of the New York Legislature, said the country was passing through a eritical period of its history. Its wealth bad vastly increased, but he was sorry to say that the moral tone of the nation had not improved in the same ratio. The great mass of the people were sound at heart and scorned the arts of the briber, but there were tramps, “bummers’’ and vagrants who were a menace to-the country because they ‘were the willing tools of designing politicians. Thus an election was no longer the free expression of the public will, but a mart for the sale of votes. Somebody ' had written, ‘“The ballot speaks God’s will.”” He regretted that too often the deyil’'s will and not God’s prevailed at the ballot-box.

IN THIS AGE of jobbery and corruption it is both retreshing and pleasing to know that there are still in this country localities and states where public buildings may be erected without systematic robbery of the taxpayers. A case in point is the new state-house just completed at Atlanta, Ga. - The building committee has just closed its work, with a balance of $18.43 from the original appropriation of one million dollars. The Atlanta Constitution, with just pride, thus speaks of this achieyement: ‘‘We write deliberately and advisedly when we say that the building of this Capitol, from first to last, is the "best public service rendered, its scope limitations considered, to any State or to the government in our history. The record of jobbery and peculation that so often stains the doing of public work is put to shame by the work of this Commission. Georgia has, for less than one million dollars, a Capitol that in beauty, richness, and inspiring majesty equals the $3,000,000 Capitol of Texas or the $2,000,000 Capitol of Connecticut, and in conyenience and efficiency clearly surpasses either. There is not only not a dishonest dollar in the building, there is not even a careless orill-advised dollar.”’

THE U. 8. SENATE last week availed itself of the opportunity to take its re‘venge out of a very bold and some‘what reckless editor. The fiery editor iof the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, ‘Mr. Murat Halstead, who has been at -all times a seyere critic of the Senate and who was especially fierce in his assaults upon that body when it declined to unseat Senator Payne, of Ohio, received his lesson in & manner not to be misunderstood. His nomination for the. German mission was rejected. The democratic senators, with the exception of Blackburn, of Kentucky, and Call, of Florida, voted solidly against him and were reinforced by Ingalls, Plumb, Stewart, Evarts, Dawes, Teller and Quay. John Sherman made a desperate but wholly ineffectual effort to save Halstead. The Chicago Tribune. in noting Halstead’s rejection by a vote of 25 to 19, says: & ' “The Field Marshal has our sympathies for the loss of his red apple, though not unmixed with conqratula-‘-tions that his paper will not lose his eminent ?our_naﬁa,ﬁc ability. -To be a successful editor, or even a political ; martgr, is better than to sit in the seats of t e scornful. Mr. Halstead can now devote himself exclusiyely to his newspaper and can have lots of fun %tmmﬁgh*r wgl Ll ol e

Now that Venner is dead, and Wigging has subsided, about the only weather prophet on deck is the New York Herald, which says in regard to the mooted question of ‘‘an early spring:’’

‘“As far as it is possible to foreeast the general meteorologieal conditions in this section, the outlook is for temperature above the normal, with the average rainfall near the coastline and rapid advance of vegetation. We shall probably have the periodic ‘cold spell’ from May 10 to 15, and some chilly weather in the first half of April. But there is no reason to. apprehend that the tide of high temperature, which has been running in one direction for six months, will soon be reversed, or that late spring frosts will seriously injure the fruit crops on the Atiantic seaboard.” -

THE New York World says: “It deserves to be said of President Harrson's diplomatic appointments that they are at least conferred upon men who are well and favorably known to the country. They are not selected by some occult process from among the fossils -or the great body of the unknown in his ‘party. Nobody asks concerning Robert T. Lincoln, ‘Who is he?’ nor of Whitelaw Reid, ‘What! is he still living?’ as was the case when E. J. Phelps and Robert M. McLane were named for the two chief missions four yvears ago. The new Ministers are, for the most part, representative Republicans and representative Americans. We-do net feel called upon to depreciate them because they are appointed by a Republican President.” The World also speaks kindly of the rejected Murat Halstead and of Allen Thorndike Rice.

CARDINAL GIBBONS has been talking plainly on the subject of divorce. The cardinal says the ease with which matrimonial contracts are dissolved “in'some of our states is fraught with dangerous consequences. Some of the pretended causes invoked are so trivial that they would raise a smile if the matter were not so terribly serious.” When in twenty-five years over 300,090 divorces are granted in the United States the matter indeed becomes .*‘terribly serious.”” If the states refuse to put forth their strong arm to stay this unholy tendency, the church must act and act with firmness and in an unrelenting spirit. For years the best minds of the country have urged the imperative necessity of reform in this matter. In an impressive manner Goy. Hill last January proposed concerted action by all the states on the question of divorce. He proposes the enactment of uniform laws by which the statute of one state shall not be brought into disrepute by the law of an adjoining commonwealth, permitting adivorced person to remarry, when he 1s clearly and specifically forbidden by his own state to do so. The governor’s recommendation will sooner or later receive favorable attention by the seyeral state legislatures. -

THE SOUTHERN PROBLEM.

There has recently been issued from the press of G. P. Putnma’s Sons, of New York, a volume of 262 pages, entitled *“The Plantation Negro as a Freeman;’’ also ‘‘Observations on his Character, Condition and Prospects in Virginia.’”” The author is Phillip H. Bruce, and the work is regarded by candid critics as thorough and impartial. The negro is discussed in all the relations of life with startling emphasis in many instances, but always without bitterness or intolerance. The political aspects of the question to which the negro is closely related in the South is dwelt upon with logical force and clearness, to illustrate which it is but necessary to make a few quotations from Mr. Bruce’s work:

“The expression the ‘solid South’l has no sectional significance; it merely embodies the determination ‘of the whites to ward off political ruin and to save society from destruction. There are ho fundamental ditferences/in popular feeling, because such differences are radically inconsistent not only with the welfare of, the community, but even with its permanent existence. ‘ The discussien and agitation of questions of national concern have already ceased in the Southern States inasmuch as all divergencies of political opinion involve social anarchy in the conclusion. Not until the 'negro is elimi--nated as a political factor will the Southern whites separate into parties. * * Today the rapid increase of the black population constitutes a grayer danger to the stability of our government than any that is sapping the vitality of European monarchies. ™ * * The negro is only useful to the Southern States, and through those States to ‘the Union, as a laborer, but it would ‘be far better for the whole country if he were withdrawn, even if he were withdrawn so suddenly as to wholly blight for a time, the material interests of the South. It would be better, indeed, for that entire section to be relegated to its primeval condition with a view to its being settled again exclusively by a white population, just as if it were a virgin territory, than for it to maintain its present position partially through the manual exertions of the blacks, but with the individuals of that race increasing sorapidly as to threaten the extinction in the end of every ele‘ment of prosperity, with no hope of subsequent revival.”’ | A reviewer of Mr. Bruce’s work says of the foregomng extracts: ¢All this opens frightful possibilities—nay, probabilities—for the future, but few who are familiar with the South will say that the picture is much overdrawn.”” The Battle Creek Moon contends that “it is not doubted that the people of the North do not fully comprehend the situation of the South with respect toits negro population. There Dixon's line--only » sentiment, pos: Ao SEIHUS pissting Mikanell

other words, --f.‘e inculecation of that honest test by \which to judge of our Southern fellow citizens, namely, to put ourselves in| their place, confronted with the same menacing problem and then consider how we would aet. It is African barharism on one hand and Caucasion eivilization and enlightenment on the other.” A : To our mind |[no man has discussed the southern ptoblem more considerately and more thoughtfully than George William Curtis, of New York. THE BANNER hds heretofore presented its readers somje of that gentleman’s admirable utterances on this vexatious question. | B

WHEN THE LQVE OF DRINK DIES. Albany (N, Y.) Times. : The times must be getting solemn for our prohibition friends. -New Hampshire, which seemed to be running so strongl in their direction that eyen a politician’ as sharp as William E. Chandler tried to get in and direet the current, has/turned squarely against them. When it came to the question of adding a prghibition amendment to the constitution, the state with emphasis said “no.”” |ln Rhode Island there has been s 6 urgent a demand for the repeal of the prohibition amendment that the Legislature at the present moment is considering the advisability of re-submitting |it to the people. -In Massachusetts the question of adopting a prohibition amendment is before the people, but citizens like Col. T. W. Higginson, Prf.A Thayer, of Harvard, ex-Mayor Russell, of Boston, and others equally distinguished and estimable have come forward with the advice not to incorporate |it in the fundamental law of the commonwealth. In other states where the extremists have been active and mandatory the same kind of caution is uttered, for intelligent men see that such ajlaw cannot be enforeced, and a law that cannot be enforced should not be gn the statute books.: The reasons that animate earnest Prohibitionists /deserve—if it may be so put—qualified ¢gommendation. Perceiving the ruin apd distress wrought by indulgence in | strong drink, they believe that a suppression of the traffic will bring pea¢e, hapviness and prosperity where debauchery, despair and misery before/were witnessed. They believe that th¢ law alone can regulate men's passiongand-appetites, and even believe this when so many prisons contain those who have immersed- their hands in human blood. If the fear of death does not deter gyen from the commission of murder, the threat of fine and imprisonment will not persuade others tg forbear from ministering to an appetite that has grown in the human ra¢e with what it' has fed upon for centuries. : Prohibition i a thing for educational treatment, not for an iron bound, inflexivle law. In course of time men will become abstinent, because they will have come to know that it is best for themselvesithat they should be so. The irresistible tendency of the time proves this contention. It is not so leng ago that/men of God deemed it no great disgrace to be seem drunk. The Puritans of New England now held. to be exemplars of the austerest virtue were great men with the bottle. InDr. Dorchester’s s‘The Problem of Religious Progress’’| we find it stated (p. 173) that there wag ‘‘a manifest decline in morals during the one hundred years following the Janding of the pilgrims,”’ and on the next page Dr. Dorchester quotes Theodore Parker in support of what he says, as follows: ‘lt is easy to ‘praise the fathers of’ New England; easier to praise them for virtues they did not possess than to discriminate and fairly judge these remarkable men. Let me mention a fact or two. 1t is recorded in the probate office tha} in 1678, at the funeral of Mrs. Mary Norton, widow of thé celebrated John Norton, one of the ministers of the First church of Boston, 51} gallons of the best Maderia wine were consumed by the ‘mourners’; in 1685, at the funeral of the Rev. Thomas Cobbett, minjister of Ipswich, there were consumed one barrel of wine and

two barrels of cider, and ‘as it was cold,’ there was some spice and sugar for the cider.| You may easily judge of the drunke¢nness and riot on occasions less solemn than the funeral of an old and beloved minister. Towns provided intoxicating drink at the funerals of their/paupers.”’ _ Dean Ramsey relates many instructive stories of hard drinking in Scotland, in' whi¢ch the members of the highest society thought it no offense to get drunk. KEvery one familiar with the domestic [life of the people knows how education has changed this custom. Queen Elizabdth and her maids of honor drank strong beer at breakfast, and our own Dutch burghers solemnly took their glass of Jamaica rum before the first meal of the day. It is only a hundred years ago that wine was served in round-bottomed bottles like these which hold soda and ginger ale today, made ([so that they should be constantly moving from hand to hand. The ““three bpttle’’ man was not rare among his kind, and even within the last half century so higll)ﬂy respectable a man as Mr. Samuel ickwic;l){ might become dead drunk and be wheeled off in a barrow without losing caste among reputable people. . All this is ¢hanged. Now the man ‘'who gets drunk disgraces himself and his family. The day may come when he who drinks will be regarded as the habitual drunkard is now, but castiron laws will never bring that about, and intelligent temperance people should be able to see this for themselves. | Lo '

John Bright’s Friendship for the

United States.

The late John Bright, England’s eminent statesman and philanthropist, courageously espoused the cause of the North. and of the slave in the American civil conflict at a time when the sympathies of the British ministry and of the upper and commercial classes were enlisted on the side of the Southern Confederacy. Profound as was his detestation of war, his abhorrence of slavery led him to pronounce the cause of the North a righteous one. His speeches in favor of the North at once appealed to the conscience of the great mass of the English people. One splendid passage Americans love to reeall: -

“The leaders of this revolt propose this monstrous thing—that over a territory forty times as large as England the blight and curse of slavery shall be forever perpetuated. I cannot believe for my part, that such a fate will befall that fair land, stricken though it now is w.th the ravages of war. I cannot believe that civilization

in its journey with the sun will sink into endless night in order to gratify the ambitien of the leaders of this resolt, who seek to

3 *Wade througk slaughter to a throne . And shut the gates of mercy on mankind.’ I have another and far brighter vision before my gaze. - It may be but a vision, but I will cherish it. I see one vast confederation stretchin% from the frozen North in unbroken line to the glowing South, and from the wild billows of the Atlantic to the calmer waters of the Pacific main—and I see one people, and one language and one law, and one faith, ‘and all over that wide continent the home of freedom and a refuge for the oppressed of every race and of every clime.”’

An Editor Brutally Beaten.

C. H. Lampson, editor of the Vzlparaiso Herald has been for some time making war on the disreputable dives and dens with which it appears that wieked little city abounds. He has received several threatening letters, warning him that if he did not desist from these attacks, dire punishment would be meted ont to him. He paid no attention to these threats, but continued his attacks. The ruffians were as good as their word, and on Wednesday night of last week, while Mr. Lampson was on his way home, he was attacked by a masked gang, who seized him, blind-folded him, and carrying him to a secluded spot wreaked their vengence on him in a most brutal way. They tore off all his clothes and beat him over the back with a bar of iron until he became unconscious. The unfortunate man was not discovered until four o’clock in the morning. It 18 doubtful whether he will recover. Of course every effort will be made to bring these thugs to justice. Hanging would be too mild a punishment for the scoundrels. B
