Mexicans, and the

••poor whites" of the South. The Eng lish language has never been spoken by a cloaa of poopla so ignorant, worthless snd vlclouH as the laboring whites of tho cotton States. Tho negro belongs by nature to the cotton belt. He basks in its sunshine and thanks God for lt« winter less years. He Is kept in tho North only by the dr« ad of that lawlessness In the South, which, like all evil things, must pass away

In three of tho Southern States, South Carolina, Mississippi and Loulsana,

the

blacks are already In the majority.

The

blacks of the North, and ol the South, desire nothing so much as to be separated practically from tho whites. And all this Is aa It should be. A separation of the races without Itnparlng the llberltles or opportunities of either, is, perhaps, best for both. In the great economy of nature there is room for all. The rioo and ootton and sngnr crops will bo produced by tho labor of the blacks alone. If, as the fruit of their toll, they become rich and prosperous and enlightened, so much the better tor them, for our country, and for civilisation. In the mean timo, the white race will find ample opportunity to expand both brain and muscle on the great prairies and rich valleys of the West, In the mine* of our mountain regions, and wherever, either upon sea or Knd, the Inventive genius of this remarkablo age can find difficulties to surmount or obstacles to overcome.

JOR GO VERSOR. UhORUE W. JULIAN! It is fit and pn»p^r that the Republican party in the days of Ita triumph shonld honor the men who have been pioneers in the cause of Radioaliain.

There can be but one reasonable do dnrtion trotn theae figures concerning tho future of the cotton States. Thev will become Afrlcanir.«xl. White labor ia not suited to the cotton belt. Nine teen out of twenty bales of cotton grown in the Smith during the past seaMOM were produced by negro labor White labor, though pushed by the same incentive of poverty and suffer inir, haa accomplished nothing in the South, aa yet, and It will not in the future. Tho climate ia ruinous to the vital energies of the white people Thoroughly elpergetic laboring white men exist in no semi-tropical country onthefacoor the earth. Witness the Lazaronl of Italy, the effete agricultur iat ot Southern Spain and Portugal the

First iod foremost among all the sons of Indl-tn as an advocate of Abolitionism stood George W. Julian for thirty years. Second only as a Radical reformer has be been lu the esteem ofthention to America's noblest hero, Wendell Phillips.

Twenty-five years ago. just after an attempt to uiob a free soil speaker in bis city, a little handful o! Abolltloulsts here sent for Mr. Julian. The pro-sla-very element, numbering then nineteen out of twenty persona In the community, swore tbat ha should not speak. But Mr. Julian did speak, and no oue dared to molest him. He lifted bis voice at actual risk or his life wherever and whenever he had opportunity to say a word forth* »use of the despised bondmen of the 8outh.

In 1849 he was elected to Congress as a Free 8oiler by the Richmond district of this State. In 1858 be was elected by the Republicans, and duriug all the dark days o! the anti-slavery cause be was one of its bravest champions. We condense other points in his history from an article in the Golden Ag«^

He has been the steady friend of all schemes for the advancement of the condition of the 1 .boringclasses. While urging a discriminating protection to American l.-ibor, Mr. Jnli»n has sought a reduction of the tariff upou articles of mainly foreign production which are necessities to the poor.

schemes

lor public plunder whlli he

has received efficient aid from bis talented wife ami oo-worker, who is a daughter of the late distinguished Joshua R. Giddlngs. 3

Many years ago, when the Wonan Suffrage movement was in its intaicy, Mr. Julian presided over one ot its !rst Conventions, and his advocacy of shia leading reform antedates that of marly every other public man. He vas the first member of either branct of Congress who dared to endorseoit which he did by introducing a proposed Sixteenth Amendment for womaii's enfranchisement while his voice and pen have been potent in further incepf this noble cause. Mr. Jullan peroeijfM that tho Fourteenth and Fllte&mh Amendments conferred the lull rights of citizenship Including suffrage upon woman, and he favors the issago of an act of Congress enforcing her constitutional rights.

THK name of Charles Dickens will be Interwoven with all that Is pleasant and bright in Christmas memories so long as the English language is spoken. In 1843, Mr. Dickens published the first of his Christmas stories, "The Christ••mas Carol." This was followed in succeeding years by "The Chimes," "The Cricket on the Hearth," and many others. These, taken with the tender and bright and cheerful allusions to this glad holiday, running through all his works, has invested Christmas with anew significance, and made it dearer than ever to humanity. And since the master of English fiction haa gone down the mystio aisles, In "the old, "old fashion—Death," bis memory ia at no time so bright and enchanting as In the light of Christmas fires. A worker of rare magic was the dear dead man of Gad's Hill. How he cast light into dark places, how he brought humanity doner together, how the waste spots blossomed under his (ouch, how even the lennon of Jesus became aweeterto mankind because of the witchery of his romance!

A meeting of all the railroads converging in Indianapolis waa held in that city on Wednesday for the purpose ol taking action in reference to the free paaa system.

After a tall discussion, resolutions similar to thane recently adopted at St. Louie were unanimously carried. These prohibit the Usuing of all paaaes with the exception of reciprocal ones to the d.fferent railroads, and to members of the press.

Similar action hits been taken by the railroads leading into Chicago, and the rule may be looked upon aa general throughout the West.

The action is good so f.«r as it goes, but we regret that an exception was made in 6»vor of the press. It is time for the idea to be eradicated that news pap^ra are entitled to charity.

The interest, not less than the honor of journalism requires that this should lie done. There are few newspapers in the uul th »t do not p.iy over and over again, in gratuitous advertising, for all free passes received from railroads.

Sound business prlncip es require that rdlroads shall receive proper and explicit compensation from all passengers. Sound business principles require alike that newspaper men shall pay money for all accommodation received from these oorporations.and tbat they exact money in return for all business fav»r* "nt.nH'nl to them

IN the lull in* S-U I -at, a semimonthly magaslne pnbliabed oy ue students ot the State University, there appeared recently an article criticising the system of military drill required of the students by the University. Thearti cle having attracted the atteiitiou or the faculty the student who was responsible for ita authorship was giveu the alternative if retracting the offensive oritlcitm or ot beiug expelled fniu «l lege. We have carefully read the arti cle referred to. There is not a word or sentence in it that Is calculated torffend the sensitiveness of the managers ot the University. It ia simply a pasaionless, aenslb'e and courteous crlti cism upon th" ridiculous custom ot requiring military drill from thestudents. The University is the property of the State. We L«»ld that its

managers

ercise inquisitorial powers when they deny the ri*rht of fair and gentlemanly criticism to the students.

W* know not upon what principle the publishers ot irper's Weekly have regularly and systematically, for many years, Insulted In the grossest possible manner, all Catholics and Irishmen. If the design has been to injure the classes referred to, a grave mistake has leen made. It is not by means of outrageous caricature, or unnecessary abuse, that any church or race may be brought into disgrace in

All wrong things must be

beaten'by the club of reason and pierced by the sword of argument If tlioy fall. The Catholic church finds in the gross abuse of the journal referred to an element of strength.

UNDKR Iho NEW Congressional Apportionment Bill, Indiana is entitled to one congressman at largo. We present, for tho Democratic nomination, the name of Bay less W. H.inna, the Attorney Goneral who is leading so gallantly In tho prosecution of the Indianapolis plunderors. For the Republican nomination wesuggest W.P. Flshback, of the Indianapolis Journal. We fear, however, that the latter cannot be Induced to come down from bis exalted position as the first Journalist In the State in order to accept a congressional nomination.

THREK thousand members of the International Society followed the catafalque in honor of the murdered French Communists in procession through the street* of New York on Sunday. Tens of thousands lined the street, and yet no policeman waa needed. Kven the New York Tribune, the most brutal enemy of the Commune of all American journals, gays that this Is "enough to make the apparition of the red flag

In the streets of New-York lesa startling than those who remember ita historical significance could have imagined."

THK Tribune,in an admirable editorial on Agassis, quotes the story of a shrewd agent who tried vainly to buy the great naturalist for a Winter's lectures. "Why, sir, you will make more "money than by ten years of thla "work," he reasoned. "But I have not ••the time to make money," said Agassis. In this short sentence Is expressed the whole of that great sermon which Americans most need.

THK English Home Secretary will likely request Parliament to give him authority to expel Carl Marx, the leader of the International Society, from the United Kingdom- Marx's residence haa been plaoed under the watoh of the police. But the British government cannot suppress the International any more than It can prevent an ecllpso of the son or restrain a tidal wave.

AN organisation of the Cincinnati St. Lonis Railroad baa been effected is Illinois to construct a line from Palestine in tbat State, to St. Louis. This is really a Western extenaion «t the Cincinnati A T&rre-Haute Railroad, it being the apparent intention of that corporation to bnilda line from Bloomington,

Indiana, to Merom, and thence by the line mentioned above to St. Louis. This will leave Terre-Haute on a branch line of the Cincinnati A Terre-Haut* Railroad.

ALL the large cities in England are republican, except Liverpool and some of the large manufacturing cities. The rural diatricts are all conservative. The voters in these parts are under the Influence of the landed ariatocracy, and vote accordingly. The monled classes of the cities, having no rights or immunities dependent upon the continuation of rovalty, are radical the Church, universities, colleges and endowed schools, the aristocracy, and the ottoersot the army and navy are sealous supporters of the throne. If representation were baaed on numbers in England, republicanism might have a clear ma|ority immediately In the House of Commons. ]}.

A CIRCUMHTANCK occurred In the county Treasurer's office a few days ago, which as an illustration of honesty and uprightness Is rarely surpassed In tho buaineea transactions of men. A man named C. W. Pattorff entered the offlco and desired to pay bis taxes. He was informed that nothing wiun assessed against blm, when be was led to explain that it was due several years ago. That be had at that time movod from this county to Missouri whoro he had since lived and lost all bis property. Before going West bowover he had made arrangements with another man to pay a small amout of tax then dtis on personal property. On his return be learned that this hail beeu neglected, and he Immediately resolved to pay it. The Treasurer Informed him that It was unnecessary as it had been romKted and did not stand against him. This did not satisfy his troubled conscience, and the Treasurer was obliged to accept a small installment, all that the poor fellow oould raise, but not sufficient within K^0 of the full amount. He went away evidently greatly relieved, declaring his Intention to pay the balance aa soon aa be could make eneagfe money.

AN extraordinary case of coQrtahlp, love, marriage, divorce, and re-mar-riage occurred in this city, reoently, between a very respectable couple well. known to many of our citlaent. Some time afu»rthelr first marriage the man conducted himself In auch a manner as to incur tbo displeasure of bis wife who vainly tried In various way* to reform blm. After exhauatlng every other remedy, she finally threatened divorce, without the least inlontion of resorting to thla.
