Ukferring to correspondence be-
tween the governor and Professor
M diet as to admission of students
from other states. The Statesman
has simply to say that it regards all
questions relating to the management
c the university as now belonging to
the board of regents of that institu
tion. The legislature was silent
n pon the point raised and so has been
the regency while the natural conclu
sion is that by this silence consent
was given for the admission of such
students. It is at least an inopportune
tinv3 to ralsa an issue on the point
while the raising of such issue really
li long3 to the board of regents. The
admission just now of a few students
. from other states would certainly be a
goad thing for our university. Si
lence of the legislature and of the re
gency on this subject is construed into
- consent and yet the legislature or the
regency does not thereby deny them-
selves the right to consider and to reg-
' ate the admission of such students

T00 HASTY IJf EXPRESSION.
Mr. McDonald of Indiana presi
dential candidate has lately been in-
terviewed. He seems to be after con-
gress doing but little when it meets
and he thinks there is no use in tak
ing up the tariff question as the sen
ate is Republican and opposed to
further tariff legislation. He i3 in
favor of cutting down the river and
harbor appropriations. Of course this
position will lose him the support of
much of the Eastern Democracy.while
he may thus win favor in New York
that is if New York Democratic in-
terests be wholly devoted to New York
city. The Southern states along the
Atlantic and the Gulf seaboards are
all anxious for river and harbor ap-
propriations and they will hardly
present any enthusiastic supporters of
one whose policv would lead to
denial of such governmental aid
as has been so noeraiiy given to
the Eastern states. Nor will the
people of the Mississippi valley
states warm up very earnestly in
Mr. McDonald's favor when his plan
would cut off that aid which is so much
needed for the Mississippi valley
On the Pacific coast too there is
earnest demand for more improve
ment for waterways and harbors
Some of the organs of New York De
mocracy have lately antagonized
river and harbor appropriations. Like
all other appropriations they have
been much abused but this is no ar
gument that they should not be made.
They are especially wanted along the
entire line of the Southern coast from
Chesapeake Bay to the Rio Grande
and along the Gulf coast they are es
pecially needed to meet the growing
demands of trade. Of course New
York wants no such appropriations
It wants the entire country made
tributary to New York and if the
mouth of every harbor on tne Atlan
tic and gulf coast excepting that of
New York city could be closed it
would create such condition and
the great metropolis would
speedily become the greatest
mart the world ever knew. London
would sink into insignificance beside
it. Of course the New York De-
mocracy opposes the appropriations
and Mr. McDonald in our estimation
commits a personally fatal error when
he makes his position in this rela
tion known. It has been said the
New York Influence might in the
event of Mr. Tilden's failure attempt
to "bull" the Democratic market with
McDoland stock. Whether this be so
or not an impression to that effect
has gone abroad and Mr. McDonald
in saying what he thinks may give
him strength commits in our esti
mation a serious blunder. Certainly
the Democracy of Texas can not be
expected to come to his support when
he declares against our just quota of
federal aid in cleaning harbors
and making waterways navigable.
With its harbors properly improved
the productions of Texas would be
increased 50 per cent in values. It is
a question that comes right home to
our pockets and is therefore a power-
ful moral argument. No state of the
Union has had so much money from
the federal treasury for public im
provements a3 New York and there
fore arguments against appropria
tions for such improvements come
with a poor grace from the papers of
that state and ought to have very
little weight. The treasury is full to
overflowing and there i3 no better
way to dispose of a portion of the
surplus than to expend it in improv
ing the rivers and harbors of the
country. We want respectable ap
propriations for Sabine and Galveston
and Houston and the mouth of the
Brazos and for Indianola and
Corpus Christi and other points
and we are perfectly . willing to see
other public works in other states
equally meritorious.recei ve such aid as
they need. Most assuredly we are not
ready to have the supply of money
now so plentiful cut off when it is so
much needed. New York harbor has
had untold millions spent upon it.
Shall its Democracy shape a course
for the party antagonistic to every
other interest on the Atlantic the
Gulf and the Pacific coast and es
pecially In the Mississippi valley
Mr. McDonald has been over-per
suaded we- fear into a declaration
that will not find approval with De
mocracy. With the party pledged to
ignoring the very great necessities of
all these sections the enemy would be
able to handle a most powerful argu
ment against it. But it will commit
itself to no such policy and Mr. Mc
Donald will repent of his hasty ex-
pression. -
OUK STATE Jr'AlR.
But little more than a month will
elapse before the fair will be upon us.
Through the varying fortunes of
nine years its friends steadily
confident of ultimate success have
maintained this agency of material
development and popular elevation
until its influences have been felt
through this entire section of the
state. If it has not always been di
rected in the most popular channels
or Secured the largest and best practi
cal results the fault cannot be at
tributed to selfish motives on the
part of the management. It
has in every case and upon all occa-
sions aimed to secure the greatest
possible benefits with ' the limited
means at its command. The associa-
tion has never asked nor expected a
dollar in dividends ; it has sought no
immunities for its stockholders ; nor
has any individual member employe
or contractor for work ever received
more than a moderate compensation
for services actually rendered a great
majority of the members annually
contributing their time and energies
without the desire of fee or reward.
Notwithstanding the many difficul
ties which all similar organizations
must necessarily encounter when un
aided by ample endowment it has so
constantly grown in the confidence
of the local public that the citizens of
Austin almost without exception
are warm friends and co-workers in
the enterprise. Our business men
acting on business principles have
come to the rescue in the most gener-
ous and liberal manner as the
catalogue of premiums will at-
test. This timely and efficient
co-operation this concert of action
with a power which controls "so much
of wealth and moral influence will in-
fuse new life and hope in the society
as well as inspire faith in that part of
the outside public which has at times
seemed indifferent. It only remains
now for exhibitors in every class and
department as also citizens generally
to show a proper appreciation of the
united efforts of the association and
for the business men of the city by
making the fullest and most credit-
able exhibition possible and also
by combined effort to se-
cure an enlarged attendance
over all former years. This much is
at least due those who have so earn-
easuy ana nouiy laoorea in aid or a
cause in whleh all are equally inter
ested. This is emphatically an insti-
Rtitution or the Tjeorjle. orjraniznrl hir
I their local representatives maintained
by their concurrence for their mutual
pleasure and profit. These annual
meetings devoted to honorable and
friendly competition to the establish-
ment of new acquaintances and the
renewal of old friendships should be
regarded by the citizens of Texas as
holiday week and be enjoyed
accordingly. The great success to
which the St. Louis fair has attained
is due to the determination of the peo-
ple of St. Louis and of the surround-
ing states to make each annual exhi
bition the event of the year for all
that region of the Mississippi and
Missouri river valleys. A few years
of mutual effort when the state is
more fully developed and the Texas
State Fair will be pointed . to not
alone as the only industrial organiza-
tion in the commonwealth which has
survived the incidents of inexperience
and limited resource but as the grand
est co-operative achievement of the
southwest.
THE JfEGKO WILL GO.
The Colored National Indemnity
Association having its present
existence in Arkansas has for
its object the permanent sepera-
tlon of the white and black
races of the United States a segre-
gation of the black into a region
especially set apart for them. It is
one of the curious things in the history
of the negro race in America that the
movement for separation of the races
comes alone from the negroes. They
are wise enough probably to reognize
inferiority and to understand there is
no hope for them in a struggle along
side the . Anglo Saxon race
It is not as strange
however that this disposition to deg
radation on the part of the negroes
has been immediately brought about
by the injustice done them by those
who have used them politically and
who propose to use them in a secon
dary condition of slavery as long as
they can. The negroes voluntarily
gave themselves body and soul to
the Republicans immediately after
the war and their voluntary political
enslavement has been more absolute
even than their former condition of
servitude to Southern owners. No
wonder thinking negroes have come
to the conclusion that the only free
dom for the negro race is in a sepa-
rate and distinct political existence.
Thus this sentiment as to a separate
existence has been brought about and
we have not a doubt that in time
it must be resorted to as
the only solution of differences
especially appealed to by the blacks
As said the two colors do not mix
any more in the South than in the
North.- For the present Intercourse
between the two races is based purely
on business and labor relations. The
whites own the lands and govern
the blacks and in this relation
must theso two races live so long as
they are together. But as a cotempo-
rary says the negro race outnumbers
the whites m three states and in
many regions of the South and it is
increasing more rapidly from year to
year so that the two races are pressing
against one .another in a way that
naturally creates an uneasy feeling
in both. The Arkansas organization
to secure a special territory for the
segregation of the blacks is an in
stinctive recognition of danger and
an attempt to avoid it an admission
that the two races cannot always
exist in the relation of governing and
governed without coming in conflict.
We raise no question a3 to the merit
of the proposition of separate exist-
ence whether the negro may thus be
benefited or not. The theory that
this is a white man's govern
ment is not to be disputed
So it will remain and if the negro
cannot stand the relation the best
way is to let him go in peace even to
help him to do so. When the lines
between the white and black territo
ries are once established it will be
time to consider the stability of dis
tinct race sections.
The legal inspection of tea at all
ports of entry Is doing the tea drink-
ers of this country a great deal of
good. It has been ascertained that
no inconsiderable trade was carried on
by the shipment to this country of
tea condemned in England and other
lands having rigid inspection laws.
Prior to the act of the last congress
this could be done with impunity. It
has been discovered that tea colored
with deleterious substances was
common article of trade and that one
practice in the spurious traffic was to
color tea that had been used for the
table. By some process the old leaves
were restored to their original ap
pearance and color. The law as it
stands authorizes only the inspection
and condemnation of imported tea.
That is the inspectors can only exam
ine it as it comes through the custom
house. The recoloring of old leaves is
a domestic fraud that is not reached
by the law. But the next congress
will no doubt amend the law so as to
make it applicable to all spurious and
adulterated tea wherever found.
The Florida Times says:
The gentlemen who compose the
Florida ship canal company have
banded themselves together- to do a
work from which they have good rea
son to expect large pecuniary returns
With them it is strictly a business
venture and all those people who ex
pect anything otherwise from it will
be wof ully disappointed. Yet what a
great tmng it wiu be tor our state at
large. It will be placed on the direct
highway or the worlds commerce
the commerce which will flow from
far off Asia over the Southern Pacific
railroad; and ultimately that which
will come through the Isthmian canals.
Think of the shortening of the water
route from the Northern seaboard
cities of the gulf ports; of the gain in
time and security of passage for the
gram and cotton ships which carry
the products of the Mississippi valley
and Texas and you can begin to form
some idea of the - importance of the
work in a commercial point of view
But more than this it will largely
increase the real estate values of
Florida and give it advantages over
all our Atlantic coast neighbors and
open up to us a bright and glorious
tuture.
It is not so certain that the ship ca
nal would make the future of Florida
any brighter or more glorious than it
will be at any rate but we cannot un
derstand why the canal would not
pay the opinion of some civil engl
neers to the contrary notwithstand
ing. Certainly it would be of immense
advantage to trade and it would be
used in its interest for all it is worth
Judge Black rebuked with scath
ing force" the "electoral fraud" of
1876. He portrayed" with pungent
force the low state of political morals
which had obtained. Men who scorn
to lie and cheat and lie in business
would do both in politics. In an ar
ticle from his pen which appeared in
1877 he said:
Perhaps it is too much to expect
that a body of politicians in these de
generate days should act with scrupu
lous honesty like the men who filled
high stations In early times.' The
false philosophy of Seneca that all
immoralities are justified when done
retrnandi causa gains ground rapidly
The rules which meet with universal
observance in private affairs are set
at naught in political action. Elec-
tion frauds are practiced by men who
would not cheat in a norse race: do-
gus returns are palmed off as true by
those who would scorn to pass coun-
terfeit money; and Christian states-
men are not expected to know that
stealing the vote of a state comes
within the prohibition or the eighth
commandment.

Under the Pendleton civil service
law it is estimated that at the end
even of a four year's Democratic ad-
ministration not more than five hun
dred Democrats will be in Federal po
sitions. There could have been no
greater thrust at the success of the
Democratic party than the adoption
of this measure. Possible rotation in
office and public employment made
many a Democrat active who would
otherwise be indifferent to the success
of his party.
The Canadian cotton manufactu
rers have been protected long enough
to overdo the home market and they
are unable to sell in other markets.
Under these circ*mstances they have
resorted to the usual device of enter
ing into mutual attachments to cut
down production by running their
mills on short time. Of course the
laborers are not consulted about this
business arrangement. When they
are turned out of the mills the cotton
spinners are at liberty to find other
employment if they can. And thus
it is that piotectidn is such an advan-
tagious thing to the laboring man.
The Austin Statesman' takes
strong grounds in favor of fairs and
their benefit to farmers. Austin is
about to have a fair. Brenham Ban
ner.
The ninth annual exhibition of the
Capital State Fair association is about
to be held. It begins Octobqr 16 and
ends October 21. It is the only re
maining organization of any preten
sions in the state and it shows not only
that Austin is the right placa for an
annual state fair but that we have an
association here which knows how to
conduct them. The Statesman has
always been a warm advocate of fairs
and so was the Banner as long as one
was maintained at Brenham.
The Burlington la. Gazette says
It is to be regretted that some Re-
puoncan papers are disposed to speaK
of the revelations of the canvass of
1880 as "Democratic efforts to blacken
Garfield's name." This is mere non
sense. The revelations come from
Republican sources and could come
from no other. Garfield s name was
pretty black before he was nominated
for the presidency but Democrats had
little to do wjth blackening it. Re
publican papers said the bitterest
things about him. His name has
been blackened since his death but
not by Democrats. It was with Re-
publicans he bargained; it was
Republicans he cheated; it was Re
publicans who revolted against him
and it was a republican who murdered

The action ot the grand jury at
New Orleans in recommending the
establishment of a public crematory
to be used especially in consuming the
bodies of those people who die with
contagious diseases is attracting wide
attention. Regarding that city's burial
places the New York Herald says:
"JNo visitor can fail to perceive an
effluvium from them at any season of
the year even in the coldest weather.
It is practically impossible to seal
such receptacles so as to be perma
nently air-tight. We deem it by no
means improbable that if the partial
recommendation of the grand jury is
successfully carried out a general sys-
tem of cremation may come into favor
in New Orleans on sanitary consider
ations and that any and all burials
within the city limits will be prohib
itedbylaw. The argument in behalf
of such a public ordinance is stronger
there than in any otner large city in
the United States.".
' Similar condition as the one at New
Orleans exist in a comparative degree
at all cities and what is .good for pub-
lic health at New Orleans is good
anywhere. The complete destruction
of dead human bodies and in fact of
all animal bodies is the only true
process by which they should be dis-
posed of and fire is the only certain
and ' effective destoyer of disease
germs that lurk in all dead bodies.

X0X-RES1DE5T STUDENTS THE
"OTHERS" OF THE LAW.
It is to be regretted that the gover
nor has manifested this disposition
to interfere with the matriculation of
university students from other states.
It is said that one of the young men
now here from another state wrote to
ex-Goyernor Roberts before he came
asking the conditions upon which he
might be admitted to the school of
law and the e-governor a professor-
elect in the law school replied to. him
that tuition was absolutely free and
that it would be so extended to him.
There is no man in Texas who has
taken a deeper interest in the or-
ganization of the university
than ex-Governor Roberts. The
university had its origin in his
administration and as governor for
four years he watched with the deep-
est solicitude every move towards
its establishment and inauguration.
Every law passed in regard to the uni
versity was adopted under his advice
and often by his direction were meas-
ures incorporated in the university
laws. He understands therefore the
full spirit and intent of all these laws
and of subsequent regencyr egula-
tions and from such a standpoint he
has said unequivocally to a non-resident:
"Come to Texas; our university
is now free to the world." Every
step taken supports the learned
law professor in his opinion
The legislature was directed by
the constitution to immediately es-
tablish "a university of the first class.'
The law providing for the establish
ment of the university says: "The
government of the university shall
be vested in a board of regents to
consist of eight members selected
from different portions of the state
who shall be nominated by the gov
ernor and be appointed by and with
the advice and consent of the
senate." The law fixes the ten
ure of office of these regents
and it f uther denfies their powers. It
says: "They shall establish the de-
partments of a first-class university
determine the officers and professor
ships appoint the professors (who
shall constitute the faculty with
authority to elect their own chairman)
and other officers fix their respective
salaries and enact such by-laws rules
and regulations as may be necessary
for the successful management and
government of the university." The
law gives the regency the power "to
regulate the courses of instruc
tion" to "remove professors;" and
it is constituted so to
speak the- university legislature
Ot course it derives all its powers
from the legislature of the state and
it has no power except that granted
by the legislature. As to fees of
students the law says: "The fee of
admission to the university shall
never exceed 30 and it shall be open
to all persons in the state who may
wish to avail themselves of its ad
vantages and to male "and female on
equal terms.without charge for tuition
under the regulations prescribed by the
regents and all others under such
regulations as the board of regents
may prescribe." A strict gramma-
rian would have put a -'to" between
the last "and" and "all others" but
the meaning is very plain. The pur
pose of the law is to admit all persons
of the state as limited by the statute
and to admit others "under such regu
lations as the board of regents
may prescribe." The regency
displayed wisdom in not dis
criminating against "others." The
legislature never dreamed of
so narrow minded a policy as to ex
clude students from other states. It
was assumed that almost every young
man or woman who attended the uni
versity of Texa3 would become a
citizen of the state. The States
man wishes there were a hundred
young people here from other states.
asking admission. The regency has

the members being "named" by the
governor but "appointed" by the
senate. He has no power
to remove a regent and to substi
tute another and the regents are the
sole rulers and legislators for the uni
versity. They have not fixed special
regulations as to the acceptance of
the "others" referred to. We do not
hold that the regents have the power
to so consider such cases but having
left all matriculants for this session
on the same footing they will not
after the session begins be prevailed
upon to regulate a matter already
fixed in the opinion of all by silence.
It was the purpose of the regents for
this session at least to make no dis
crimination. All alike pay the fixed
matriculation fee and what the re
gency does cannot be undone except
by a legislature. The non-resident
students may feel at ease.

is estimated that the loss by such sale
has been ten per cent. Manufacturers
it is explained will work for a time
even at a loss rather than allow their
operatives to leave them and their
machinery to deteriorate through dis-
use. This cannot continue and the
manufacturers will soon be com-
pelled to shorten their hours reduce
wages or find cheaper raw materials.
This is the view that a well informed
Eastern paper takes of the situa-
tion and it is a reasonable one;
but it will be a serious blow to a
most important industry when
spinners are compelled either to short-
en the hours of production or to pay
less for labor. It has often been
shown however that there is a rem-
edy against the evil of over-production.
The removal of excessive im-
port taxes which Republican admin-
istrations have established and which
are maintained against loud popular
protest would solve it. Opera-
tives may be saved from starva-
tion by a removal of duties pre-
tended to be enforced for the
benefit of American laborers. The
import duties on wool ores me-
tals dyestuffs and chemicals averages
about thirty per cent. These duties
really weigh heavily upon the domes-
tic manufacturer and their payment
leaves him without profits. Protec-
tion has in truth overdone itself these
enormous tariff rates rebounding now
upon many for the benefit of whom
they were specially imposed.

even with which to grade the streets
north of the temporary capitol or
does the whole truth of this disgrace-
ful neglect dwell in the fact that no

and it was suspected that he had ab

day some stock men saw buzzards
alighting and supposing it to be dead
stock went to see. They found the
dead body of Whitesides the agent
who disappeared Saturday night
stabbed to the heart. No clue as to
whether suicide or murder though
many think he was murdered. It is

by fire yesterday evening. He esti-
mates his. loss at $2000. No insur-
ance. Anthony Boyd was arrested to-day

stable Clapp went to Stringtown on
official business Anthony called to
him as hei assed his house and in-
formed him that he had knocked the
"stuffing" as he expressed it out of
Frank Thontas the day before with a
board because the latter had torn up
his well and he showed the officer
blood scattered over the ground. It
appears that Frank Thomas had had a
difficulty with his wife and to punish
her he took her clothes and was
knocking the cover off Boyd's well to
throw them in to it when Boyd as-
saulted him. Thomas fared so badly
at the hands of Boyd that he died yes-

of his wounds. Boyd is in the custody

to notify Capt. J. B. Smith of Aus-

house that the roof leaks in a most
injurious manner and for them to re-
pair the same. Having been paid in
full for the job Capt. Smith writes
the county judge that he will not
make the repairs and that he cannot
be compelled to do so but advises
the court to have the roof repaired
immediately. ' The county commis-
sioners accepted the house when com-
pleted by Capt. Smith but they hold
that the leaks were latent defects and
that the builders are Liable cn his
bond. They will have the repairs
made and will probably bring suit for
the expense.

Xcws Gathered About the Capital
City.
Washington Sept. 12. The sec
retary of the navy last night received
the following from Pensacola: Naval
torces convalescent. Will issue ra-
tions to-morrow to the destitute of
the reserve. Gov. Bloxham has never
noticed the telegram sent him as au-
thorized by the department. Great
indignation is felt at the navy de
partment at the course pursued by
the state authorities of Florida in not
paying attention to the necessary
caring for the destitute on the reser-
vation at Pensacola even when ap
pealed to by the naval authorities.
Commander English says in regard to
the matter that the absolute lndiller-
ence of the state authorities is almost
a lack of humanity when it is consid
ered that the residents of the reserve
are in no way connected with the
navy but it should be an especial case
of the state which if unwilling or un-
able to prevent their starving could
at least help them by appeal to the
public assistance. The publication
intimating a lack of humanity on the
part ot the navy department is en
tirely uncalled for. The department
called the attention of the state
officers to the condition of affairs and
when no action was taken by them it
authorized the distribution of rations
from government supplies. It is the
impression that the indifference shown
arises from pique because ol the
closing of the Pensacola navy yard.

Missoula Mont Sept. 12. Senator
Vest and Delegate Maginnis of the
commissioners returned to-day trom
St. Mary's missionary Bitter Root
valley. At Flat Head agency the In
dians retused to sen any portion ot
their reservation or move to other re-
servations. They say they have no
grivances and were highly pleased
with their agent Kowan. All they
desire was to keep whisky away
from the young men. Pandoville
the chief endorses the above. St.
Ignatius mission schools also
on the . reservation were then
visited by the commission. The
schools are well conducted by sisters
of charity and priests. About fifty In-
dian girls andl the same number of
boys are being educated and show re-
markable proficiency in the different
classics. Senator Vest spoke highly
of the teachers and pupils. The coun-
cil at St. Mary's mission yesterday was
rather of a dramatic character. Flat-
head the chief with a few hundred
Indians steadily refused to go upon
the reservation. The Indians culti
vate a few ranches but are steadily
growing poorer.
The valley is thickly settled by
whites. The whites want the Indians
removed from the reservation to
avoid anticipated trouble. In the
council Vest and Maginni3 sat oppo-
site the chiefs. Through an interpre-
ter Vest explained his mission. Char-
tos.who is a noted brave gaed defiant-
ly at Vest a moment and then began
to reply: "We are only a few; we
are poor and weak; you want to place
your foot upon our neck and grind
our face in the dust but I will not go.
I will go to the plains."
"Nesperies Joseph tried to go to the
plains" broke in Vest "but there
are no plains now while
men are as thick as leaves
from ocean to ocean. If you don't
get a title to lands here like white
men soldiers will come soon and place
you on your reservations."
"My hands and those of my people
are free from white men's blood.
When Nesperies came here we had to
protect whites; why- does white man
take his heart from us now V"
Then the chief took off his hat
threw it upon the floor and stamped
it. With blazing eye he gazed upon
Vest and shouted:
"You may take Chartos to the reser-
vation but there will be no breath in
his nostrils. Chartos will be dead.
He will never go there alive."
Senator Vest answered the tawny
chieftain in language as emphatic as
his own: "That he must obey white
man's law as implicitly as did white
i i e tjt 1 : .1 v. a.
man muiseiu j.l iic uiuu i iig mustI

John Roach Again.
New York. Sept. 12. John Roach.
ship builder resumed his testimony
this morning before the senate educa-
tion and labor committee. He wished
to correct some misapprehensions
which seemed to exist in the minds of
the public regarding his previous tes-
timony. He denied emphatically that '
he testified that ships could be built
as cheaply in this country as in Eng-
land. He said materials were as
cheap here as in England but the cost
of labor was greater which increased
the cost of building. Roach believed
in protection of labor in order to de- j
velopthe property resources of the
country. Without protection no 
person would have an opportunity of
developing his genious unless these J
industries existed in which his
talents could be exercised. He
claimed that without protection
no industries except farming and
mining could be carried on. In the
case ot the three commodities cotton
woolen goods and iron the average
value of tte yearly importationn for
the last ten years was 1178000000.
These facts are considered dangerous
signs especially as it existed under
the present tariff laws. Witness pro-
ceeded to give the committee further
enlightenment on the question of free
ships. At the present time Great
Britain nad $10U0U0 of money in-
vested in the shipping business. It
was her most protitablo industry.
Ten years ago England had
142000 men engaged in the sailing
merchant service and 87700 in the
steamer merchant's vessel. To-day
there were 1.040.000 men in the sail
ing service and 106000 in the steam
service. Last year the earnings of
this immense merchant fleet was
$400000000. This enormous stride of
the British people was accomplished
at the expense of this country. The
interests of the working men wore
neglected by those who ought to
guard them. This was the secret of
the decrease of American shipping.
If the eight hour system established
by the government is endorsed it
would be necessary to increase the pro-
tective tariff in order to counteract
the influence of increased loss of pro-
duction. Getting down to bottom
facts. Roach said the only way of
benefiting the condition of labor in
general was to give it a chance at the
land. If the government would give
160 acres of land to every man who
would go West and cultivate it him-
self there would be an easy solution
to the labor question. In order to
do this effectually the government
should appropriate a certain sum for
transportation ot immigrants to tne
West.
Chicago Items.
Chicago Sept. 12. The Polish citi-
zens of Chicago to-day celebrated the
two hundredth anniversary of the ex-
pulsion of the Turks from Poland by
King John Sobieski in the victory of
Vienna. In tne morning high mass
wa3 sung in the Polish churches. In
the afternoon all the Polish societies
oaraded in full resralia. with banners
tbrough the principal streets. In the
evening the participants listened to
an address in English and. Pol
ish. The Austrians also cele-
brated the anniversary of their
participation in this terrible event
with music and speeches.
Five hundred members of the Mu-
tual Insurance association from vari
ous states met in session in this

ciation.

ages for over manufacture are laid at

gers of the Southern Exposition to

What Blaine Says.
Augusta. Me. Sept. 12. Blaine
was called upon regarding tha story
published Tuesday purporting to be
his views touching Butler's political
future. He said he rarely noticed
sensational paragraphs of any kind
but he would in this case and say that
the views attributed to him were pre
cisely the reverse ot those he held.
He did not believe Butler could be re-
elected governor of Massachusetts
and had the fullest confidence that a
Republican president would be chosen
next year. The Republican party he
added would be found far stronger in
the elections in 188.J than either in
1875 or 1879.
iThe Kail Trade.
Pittsburg" Sept. 12. The Western
.Nau Association held a regular quar
terly meeting to-day. Keports re-
ceived from all sections indicated that
trade is satisfactory and plenty of or-
ders coming in. Stocks are reported
very light and assortments badly
broken. In view of this it was de-
cided not to order stoppage of mills as
it was anticipated but to continue
them in operation until further or-
ders. The card rate was not changed.
The Negro Convention.
Louisville Sept. 12. The national
convention of colored men to be held
September 24 is creating a widespread
discussion among the colored
race owing to dissension among
them regarding the purpose
of the assembly. J. E. Y. Morris
a prominent colored man of Louis-
ville makes the following statement :
It's not in my power to say what is
in the mind of those who expect to
be here but I will state that the sub
ject of educating the masses should
be one of the subjects before us and
should be thoroughly discussed. Sec-
ond how to better our condition in
the South. Third whether it iA bet-
ter to stay in the South-or go West.
Fourth what will be our political
future. The subject of high or low
tariff so far as 1 am concerned little
concerns me. This is a subject that
greatly agitates the minds of
wealthy beings Democrats or Re-
publicans and iy is only a
question of time 'f& to how long
parties will remain In the field.
