Thjb thing people do not feel like striking
when it is down—the thermometer.
Does it pay to advertise for lost articles?
Well, when a man lose* his temper it does not
pay him to advertise the fact.
5Tew England worn u are now employed in
2S4 different branches of industry. Progress
in this line may be estimated from the fact
that in 1S40 their employments were confined
to seven vocations only.
The poetess Ella Wheeler exclaims: " Show
me the way up to a higher plane." 11a is a
singular girl. Few youug ladies would want
to leave a reserved seat in the dress-circle and
be shown up into the gallery.
Mr. Wattebson says there was a " half con-
cealed meaning in that dispatch " of his about
,>#Ir. Tildeii, and he adds, " I am surprised that
the newspaper men do not guess it." Perhaps
the newspaper men are tired. Mr. Watterson
should read Artemus Ward.
The News is in receipt, from E. W. Swin-
dells, publisher, Austin, Texas, of a copy of
the second volume of the Legislative Manual
for 1HS3-S4, containing, in convenient shape, a
great deal of valuable information, which will
be found particularly useful to State officers,
members of the legislature, county officers and
others.
The Savannah (Ga.) News reflects the senti-
ment that the Republicans have too little
chance of success in the next presidential elec-
tion for the nomination to be particularly de-
I sirable. That is where some Democrats are
ktoo sanguine. The future is altogether uncer-
tain till the parties choose their leaders and
pefine their position.
The agents of the ship Sidbury have been re-
ported to be preparing to test the power of
Louisiana to exclude their vessel from the Mis-
sissippi. JVhen they ask substantially where
shall she go and how can she go, they raise
the whole question of national quarantine, one
of the most important questions challenging
the attention of Congress an 1 the executive.
Mr. W. G. Bkebe, an Ohio editor, was a
candidate for state senator, and was defeated.
Instead of committing suicide or mourning
over the ingratitude of republics, he wrote
these words: "Come to think about it, we
can't spare the time to hang about the state
house during the sessions of the next legisla-
ture, and then if it should happen to be a
Republican body, a man might be lei I into
temptation. We won't run any risks."
The Empress <;f Germany has been an in-
valid for many years past, and medical skill
alone seems to have saved her from the grave.
" But her tenure of life is extremely precarious,
although she is less than seventy-two years old,
while her husband, the emperor, is over eighty-
six years old, and apparently good for some
additional years, not only of iife, but of work
and service. The strike of paralysis which
has now prostrated the empress is probably the
forerunner only of a m« >re serious occurrence,
which may take place at any time, but will not
have any general or profound influence upon
the current of events.
The Virginia Democratic platform favors
the unconditional and immediate abolition of
internal revenue, and also favors "a tariff for
revenue, limited to the necessities of the gov-
ernment, economically administered, and so
adjusted in its application as to prevent un-
equal burdens, encourage productive interests
at home, and afford just compensation to labor,
but not to create or foster monopolies"—the
Ohio Democratic platform plank on the tariff.
Messrs. Randall and Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
will be well pleased with these planks, espe-
cially the abolition of internal revenue. The
delusive offer of " just compensation to labor "
through a tariff in connection with "encour-
agement" of productive interests is at least a
squint at a protective policy. The mischief uf
it is that it may mean any thing.
The Emperor of Russia, in his coronation
manifesto, granted a free pardon to 20.000 or
lealOife:;.lei*, mostly i'oles, who had
ikenpart in the insurreet: u Is to
,000 or 12,000 thieves and cut-throats, mostly
ussians. The political offenders have not
fnefited much by the imperial clemency, foi-
st of them are dead; the thieves, on the
ler hand, have thoroughly eujoyed them-
res since their release, cutting purses and
^cking cribs as of yore. Fortunately la-
test folks the police have displayed great
y, and 00 per cent of the pardoue 1-priso-
are already reinstai'u I in their former
_ farters, tovremain there till a social earth-
quake or a new coronation grants them an-
other brief spell of lib rt and crime.
Nearly 200 descendants of Rei> kali Nurse,
who was hanged as a witch in 10',-J. assembled
at the homestead of their unfortunate ancestor,
in Salem, one day last wesk. to pay a pious
tribute to her meni. ry. Mrs. Nurse was seven
ty years old when superstition sent her U» t'r,
gallows. She was the mother of eight child-
ren, an I a woman of lovely character. She
was acquitted once, and al ter her conviction
she was reprieved bjr tho governor, but e rtaiu
friends induced him to withdraw the leprieve,
and on July 10. 1002, she suffered martyrdom
on Gallows hill, probably on the spot known as
."Witch square. The province rendered repara-
tion in 1.711, when tho General Court ordered
that the magnificent recompense of 25 be paid
to the seven heirs of " Rebekah Nurse, who
suffered."
The telegraphers on strike are wonderfully
good boys. They have even promised not to
drink any intoxicating liquors until they re-
turn to work. They have been commended in
the press for beiug the most orderly body of
strikers yet known. It is noted that the line-
men sympathize with the operators. There are
2000 linemen in the country. With the best
disposition now generally prevalent to pre-
serve a good reputation, it has been noted that
in some instances wires have been cut. The
struggle might become so bitter as to expose
linemen to great temptation. A few hands
could soon do incalculable damage. It is to
l>e hoped, for the credit of the strikers and of
associated labor generally, that every tempta-
tion to damage the lines will be manfully re-
sisted by every striker and sympathizer.
At a circus in Bismarck, D. T., the other
day, according to the Bismarck Tribune, a
colored man and his wife occupied front seats,
and when a terrific gale of wind began to rip
the canvas the woman planted her knees right
down in the dust and began to call upon the
Lord to save her and spare her life. The man
threw his arms around a stake driven in the
ground and cried out: " Look, yah, ole
woman, you bettah ease up on dat pray in' and
grab a contah polo if yo1 doan' wanter l^ab dis
country ahead ob de regTah percession. Hit's
fc i'.^ht to rassle in pra'r in de ordinary pro-
lam oh life, but de Lawd ain't gwino to head
iff dis tornader as a pussonel favor to you.
You jes' grub a centah pole, now, an' shet yo'
eyes an' transfer dat trust in heaben to trust
in a good grip, 7less yo' wanter light some-
where about Jim town afo' mornin'! I'se con-
versin' wid 3*0' now, houe3r!" And she did
Straightway grip a grip even like unto that of
tleath.
There used in former times to be a dull sea-
son for news, but that time has gone by. There
is no dull season now. The Cincinnati Com-
mercial-Gazsfcte*-*#' aks that newspaper men go
eyeQ-fSSter in hot weather than at any other
^ime. Be that as it may, there is enough news,
smd would be if the Associated Press dispatches
•were dropped. It is hard to crowd the daily
intelligence into the compass even of a morn-
ing paper of full dimensions. In every well-
regulated office, in fhe small hours every night,
a cross kind of man, called a managing editor,
goes around with a big club knocking off
heads," knocking out "columns," and
Squeezing up the paper so it can buckle its
Ibelly-band for a red hot run through the press
to catch the first morniug train. Oh, no. thank
you. The man who was constantly coming
around asking, " Don't you want something
■with which to 1111 up your paper.'" was shot
down stairs long ago.
The Washington Republican, which may
possibly represent the sentiments of the ad-
ministration, says that " the unofficial account
of the assault ou the acting consul at Monterey
anakes a case of great outrage, and one for
"which this government will doubtless require
si full explanation, apology aud reparation
from the government of Mexico. It is not to
|je inferred, however, that the Mexican gov-
ernment in auy maimer sanctioned or will
sanction the barbarous attack of some of its
citizens upon a diplomatic officer of tuis
government, or that it will hesitate
V'hen called upon by the state depart-
ment to render such satisfaction as will
be entirely satisfactory to this government. It
must l>e rc membered that the Mexican govern-
ment finds it difficult to keep in subjection
many of the p •ople of tho different states of
ibat republic, although it uses all efforts to do
so. An insurrection is now pending in the
State of 'J amauiipas, aud the Federal authori-
ty i* not ouly not respected, but it is openly
defied. We must make mauy allowances for
the unsettled state of affairs in that country
and treat them as next-door neighbors who,
notwithstanding their shortcomings in some
matters, are willing and anxious to retain and
deserve our friendship." This would scuad
more like the deliberate suggestion of magna-
nimity if the United States were not notori-
ously weak in every foreigi* complication. It
may also be perceived that charity toward a
weak government in Mexico is a different
thing from consent to outrages on American
consuls abroad.
The Springfield Republican has begun the
arduous task of whitewashing R. B. Hayes,
and remarks that 4< R. B. Hayes will gradually
emerge from that shadow and enjoy the honor
due to him as one of the purest and most even-
balanced men who ever occupied the presi-
dency." Upon which the Boston Post com-
ments as follows: "The Republican has re-
peatedly said that Mr. Tilden was elected pres-
ident in is TO, and cheated out of the office, and
yet the Republican deliberately credits the
creature who profited by that cheat with be-
ing ' one of the purest' men who ever occupied
the presidenc}'. Great heavens! And we have
heard that somewhere in the Berkshire country
they use the Springfield Republican in the pub-
lic schools to help teach the young idea how to
shoot." The Indianapolis Sentinel adds: " And
now please inform the country how the Repub-
lican stands on the Tewksbury question. It is
safe to bet that it is in favor of skinning dead
■paupers and of selling them as stiffs."
A paragraph in the East, says that '"'caviare
is wrongly eaten everywhere out of Russia at
the end of dinner, instead of the beginning,
when its consumption should be, according to
Russian custom, accompanied by a dram of
spirits." '• Caviare has then some purpose or
significance," says au expert eater in the Lon-
don Telegraph. " It- serves the purpose of a
whet cr a stimulus to the appetite. Eaten at
the close of a repast, it has absolutely no kind
of gastronomic meaning whatsoever, and is
clearly unwholesome." The first-mentioned
writer might find many places outside of Rus-
sia where, begging his pardon, caviare is not
wrongly eaten, because it is not eaten at all.
What is called caviare is not in all cases the
genuine article. Russian caviare, as used
throughout Asia and Europe, is not put up in
cans aud salted, but in bladders, and is pre-
served in a dry and sweet condition. If some
genuine caviare of this sort were imported it
might have an extensive sale: 01* would it not
be possible to introduce from Russia the art of
preparing caviare?
Montgomery Blair is dead. He was the
elder brother of the late Frank P. Blair, who
was associated on the presidential ticket in
1 sos with Horatio Seymour. Their father
was Francis Preston Blair, a journalist who
edited the Globe at Washington when Jackson
was pivsident. Montgomery Blair was born
in Kentucky, May 10, IS 1:», and entered the
army from West Point. After serving in the
Semiuoie war he resigned his commission,
practiced law in St. Louis, and was there
elected/udge of the Court of Common Pleas.
In 1S.7J he iw,:< v-•' to Maryland. With his
father he withdrew from the Democratic party
on the slavery issue, after the repeal of the Mis-
souri compromise. I11 1800 he presided over the
Republican convention of Maryland, and was
vootmast ge neral under President Lincoln
■ r, mi 1*01 to IS-:I. Dissatisfied with the course
of 11 :•» Republican party, the Blairs again
• -ted with the 1 '^moerats, warmly supporting
Andrew Johnson's policy of rehabilitation, and
bitterly opposing Grantism, but for several
years past the subje t of this notice lived in
comparative retirement.
A N .! UTHOill T. 1771 rE A RBITRA TOR.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat follows
the New York Herald iu taking exception in
terms of seven? rebuke to the suggestion
of the New York Evening Post that the
government should interpose to put down
strikes which are calculated to interrupt or se-
riously impair any grea't public service, like
that of the telegraph or the railroad compa-
uL " The question in the present strike,"
sai 1 the Evening Post, in the remarks ob-
jected to, " is whether any body of men ought
to be allowed for any purpose to inflict loss
an i in -onvenienoe ou the public. This is a
qu ■ lion to which the growing complexity of
modern society will soon compel a peremptory
- it. inent. It the interruption of business) is
-i.n,' • iiing to which no country will long allow
itself to be exposed. It can not allow strikes
of employes in these great public services any
more than it can allow the corporations
themselves to refuse to carry on their
business as a means of extracting what
they think fair rates of transportation.
No iegi.-iature would permit this, and one or
two more experiences like the railroad strike
will cause every legislature to take measures
against the other. Telegraphers, railroad
men., [- >stoffice clerks aud policemen fill places
in modern society very like that of soldiers."
This may be somewhat an over-statement of
t!i case and its exigencies. B\it justice is
hardly done to the meaning and the position
of the Evening Post in much of the criticism
which its remarks have provoked. For exam-
ple. the Times-Democrat seeuis to conceive and
level its criticism upon a mis-reading, a wroug
construction aud a false issue when it says:
"The Evening Post demands that the police
and the army be ordered out to drive them
(the striking operators) back to the Western
Union office, and compel theui to resume work
ac auy wages the company may agree to give
them." The doctrine which is thus ascribed
to the Evening Post—that the test of wages
should not be the value of the services rendered,
but that corporations having once employed
bodies of laborers and reduced their wages,
the employes should be prohibited from strik-
ing and be compelled by law to work for what-
ever was voluntarily allotted them, would in-
deed, as the Times-Democrat remarks, "make
the condition of the American workingman
worse than that of the French serf and peasant
before the Revolution freed his bonds." But
has the Evening Post, or any American paper
whose opinion is entitled to any respect, as-
serted any such doctrine or advocated any such
policy? It hardly appears to do so in the
declaration that the country "can not allow
strikes of employes in these public services any
more than it can allow the corporations them-
selves to refuse to carry 011 their busiuess as a
means of extracting what they think fair rates
of transportation." This language, considered
with its context, is open to the fair construction
that strikes, involving the derangement or in-
terruption of a great public service, should not
bo permitted either to corporations or their
employes. It is easy to see that such a rule
would operate equally upon rboth parties—for
there must be two parties to every s'trike—as a
regulating principle in favor of the public in-
terest, which is always the supreme interest.
The idea underlying the rule is that corporate
franchises carry with them the obligation to
exercise for the greatest public advantage con-
sistent with a fair and living profit upon capi-
tal actually invested, and that neither a cor-
poration nor its employes, regularly engaged
in a great public service, have a right to stop
or impede that service merely as an expedient
for forcing ami keeping wages down
or forcing and keeping wages up.
But a practical difficulty of a very perplexing
nature presents itself in the problem of en-
forcing this common duty of the two parties
to abstain from strikes and deadlocks
for the decision of their differences.
The laissez-faire principle that would
leave such coutests to go on until
organized labor was crushed on one side, or
organized capital bankrupted on the other, is
abhorrent alike to public justice and public
policy. Some exterior aud authoritative ar-
bitration is clearly needed for the solution of
the problem. But what power shall arbi-
trate t Shall it be state authority, or national
authority * And on what precise occasions
and by what precise processes shall the arbi-
trator intervene to maintain the smooth, regu-
lar and satisfactory working of a great in-
dustrial machinery, whose operations have
come to be of vital public importance ? It is
plain at least that to do justice at once to the
public, and between corporations and their
employes, the arbitrator must be prepared to
weigh with au even hand the claims of all in-
terests, and to determine what is a fair and
living profit for capital, what are fair and liv-
ing wages for labor. Indeed, it is a tre-
mendous problem, and all measures
for prosecuting it to a defini-
tive solution will be opposed obstinately
by the conservative inertia of existing condi-
tions in law. in industry, in business and
finance. But what then? Shall capital and
labor be left to organize against each other and
fight out their battles to the bitter end on no
other principle than that might is right, and
that brute force or brute intellect is entitled to
all it can grasp; The doctrine reprobated in
the criticism above noticed supposes that capi-
tal organized in certain forms may rightfully
reduce the wages of employes at pleasure and
even to the point of appropriating the labor of
man without any consideration whatever.
Well, in the absence of some exterior and au-
thoritative arbitrator, some moderating and
regulating power to maintain peace and jus-
tice, it can be conceived that laborers
might combine so skillfully and on so
large a scale, aud wield such a
power of numbers and organization, as
to wrest from capitalists by one device or
another their accumulations without return in
interest or dividends. In the latter case, as in
the former, the outcome of a heartless war of
class against class, greed against greed, mo-
nopoly against monopoly, would be confisca-
tion, robbery, slavery, and finally social
wreck and industrial desolation.
THE PATRONAGE OF THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
There is very little in the way of patronage
that your local politician will not lay hands
upon and endeavor to absorb. He believes in
solidification and in laying up store against
au emergency and a rainy day. He looks well
in advance, and his methods usually are cun-
ningly contrived. He will seize upon anything
to further his designs, and will 4 4 work" a
church, a school-house, a hospital or a free-
lunch table with the same freedom of
conscience that he rakes in the per-
quisites when he comes into possession.
Things sacred and things profane
are all alike to him—everything is fish that
enters his net. Is the public school system of
Galveston about to be given over to this
worthy? The clans are mustering, and the fine
Italian hand of several eminent organizers is
discovered in the rear of this public school
question. Let it be borne in mind that the
principals appearing on the chess-board are
little more than dummies in the transaction.
The office of school trustee is not worth in it-
self a dollar in revenue to the person
filling it. Properly administered, it is
a purely gratuitous service for the ben-
efit of the public. There are neither
pickings nor emoluments attached to the posi-
tion, and of all places on earth, it might be
supposed, it is one which the regular political
and office-holding nuisance would seek to
avoid. This being the case, the question may
be asked, and has been asked, what can the
politician want here? The office of school
trustee can have no particular charm for him.
Neither has it, per se. Probe a little deeper,
however, and one may discover where the or-
ganizer comes in. There are between
forty and fifty lady teachers employed
in the public schools. They are not
voters themselves, but they have parents and
relatives and friends Who are. As at present
constituted the l>oard of school trustees make
appointments to positions in the schools based
on the superintendent's report of qualification,
etc. This is as it should be. The News will
state a case. A young lady presents herself
for a place as teacher in the public schools
whose qualifications are not first-class, but
who has a host of influential friends when it
comes to an election day. Another youug
lady presents herself for the like
position, who is first-class as a teacher'
but who has the misfortune to be without
friends of any sort when it comes to a ward
debate or a vote at the polls. It is
quite easy to surmise which of the two
would be the successful applicaut with
the political huckster as arbiter. The superin-
tendent, not beiug of a pliable kind, will award
the place strictly upon the merits of the ap-
plicants, and the lady with voting friends will
be placed upon the same professional plane as
the lady who has none. This is also as it
should be. Now there are elections held from
time to time in this august city of ours that
there is more in than the empty honors of a
gratuitous service. The offices are sharply
looked after. Managers in the rear have friends
upou the board of school trustees, who in
their turn have points to make by serving
them at a pinch. There are between forty and
fifty places in the public schools, as above
observed. The accommodating organizers on
the outside, who are looking ahead to a possi-
ble election day and a close contest, choose to
exercise their " influence " in behalf of friends
for positions in the public schools. This is the
politician's hold, and just precisely where the
politician comes in. If he has frieuds at
court, he calculate on rendering
some one a cheap service, with the possibility
of securing a few votes. As usual, he is
the direct reaper of all the advantages. To be
sure, such calculations may be stranded when
the superintendent absolutely does his duty.
No political considerations should sway him,
and it is upon his report of excellence and fit-
ness that appointments are made. Yet there
are superintendents and superintendents, aud
when one of them happens to staud in the way
of the eminent organizer, ten chances
to one that he gets his magnifi-
cent back broken, or there will
be some energy wasted in the attempt. It is
all fish at last that comes into the politician's
net, for he will seize upon the schools with the
same avidity that he would any other morsel
that promises a vestige of patronage. There
is not much in the board of school trustees,
but there is considerable of a range beyond for
the artists who believe in a solidarity of issues
when it comes to the main chance. They will
all be found pulling together on Monday next.
OFFICIALISM AND HEALTH.
The result of a British commission of in-
quiry into the medical arrangements of Wolse-
ley's Egyptian campaign has been, after the
usual delay incident to such investigations, to
bring out a revelation of an array of blunders
•and neglect of the sick aud wouuded that must
tarnish the success of that campaign. Beds,
musquito-nets and indispensable food could
have been purchased near at hand, and help
could have been obtained at least to keep the
hospital clean, yet routine and red tape ar
rangements were such that for common neces-
saries, indispeusable at the moment, and to be
purchased in the next street, the officials would
send their regulation requisitions to England.
In 110 case could they proceed without inviting
tenders, comparing samples, completing con-
tracts. In no particular did the army medical
service escape reproach, except in the prompti-
tude and care with which the wounded were
removed from the field. Lord Wolseley says
that the blame of mismanagement lies with
the system and not with the men. There is
some truth in this, but not the whole truth.
Circumlocution is an evil of centuries stand-
ing. It was so terribly illustrated in the Crimean
war that a loud cry for reform was raised.
New official machinery was devised, new de-
partments and new corps called into being, but
the system remained intrincsially the same.
The workers in the system seem to be all under
the bonds of red tape. The spirit of routinism
continues, because the men who are wedded to
it are retained in office and continue to mold
the new clerks that come under their direction
and instruction, and all capacity is
ground down to one dead level. Lord
Wolseley should have cut the Gordian knot
and given to some exceptionally clear-headed
man such power to act in the hospital service
as Wolseley had to act iu the occupied coun-
try. He admits that he realized that the hos
pitals were mismanaged, and that he took the
officials sharply to task, but he ought not to
have been cotnent with fault-finding—it was
his duty and within his power to make exam-
ples and procure reform. The London World
makes the following practical and pliilosophi
cal observations on this subject:
The principal offenders should have been ousted
then and there, removed summarily from positions
they were unfitted to fill. Leniency or long-suffer-
ing; toward incompetence, which has thousands at
its mercy, is more than a mistake—it is almost a
crime, file only way to encourage zeal aud wake
up a proper spirit of'enterprise is to warn ail ad-
ministrative officers, more particularly those of the
highest rank, that they will be judged and dealt
with entirely by the results they achieve. I11 no
other way can they be forced adequately to realize
their responsibilities and the paramount import-
ance of their trust. They will cease to
cling to routine, to shield themselves under
hard-and-fast regulations, only when they have
been made clearly to understand that no excuses,
110 palliation of errors and laches will be accepted,
no evasion of a clear duty allowed. Army doctors
must be made to feel that the careful custody of
the siek and wounded, from first to last, no less
than their cure, is their peculiar province, to be se
cured in the teeth of ail obstacles, in spite of all
difficulties, by hook or crook, at all hazards and at
all costs. Compared to the thorough acceptance
of this principle, all other proposed reforms, such
as the reconstitutiou of the" corps of orderlies,
nurses, cooks and their proper instruction, changes
iu equipment, and so forth, are unimportant and
trifling. This will be the best emancipation from
the baneful influences of that old and pernicious
system which Lord Wolseley, in common with ail
thoughtful critics, unhesitatingly coftdernns.
The presence of the cholera in Egypt and the
fact that it has not been dealt with in an effec-
tive manner as to the quarantine at Alexan-
dria and notice of the presence of the disease,
renders the subject of inefficient sanitary con-
trol in that country one of serious concern, and
British official watchfulness over health in con-
nection with international traffic still more
painfully momentous. While the House of
Commons wa3 passing a resolution really
against the importation of American cattle,
British authorities were letting the cholera
loose against their own people and the West-
ern world; and now if there were
in this country a national govern-
ment worthy of the name, every ship that
comes from England ought to be quarantined,
for the cholera may be at Liverpool as well as
at London. But here, too, there is red tape,
and also actual organic weakness, and States
must not rely upon Federal government; cities
even must rely on themselves, and finally in-
dividuals, ill protected by the series of dis-
jointed governments they pay to support,
must do what is possible singly and as neigh-
bors' to keep themselves in a state of cleanli-
ness and in such isolation from certain source®
of danger as may be necessary to ward off the
disease whenever it may come.
CBTE\VA YO'S DMA TH.
Subsequent dispatches from abroad are ap-
parently confirmatory of tho death of this
famous South African prinoe. It is stated that
along with Cetewayo the insurgeuts also killed
his wives and many of his chiefs. Thus tragi-
cal fate seems to have followed the career of
the deceased king. Although the circumstances
attending his demise were so deeply tinctured
with bloody catastrophe, it falls far short of
another tragedy in which Cetewayo was con-
cerned, indirectly at least, and which must live
in history as one of the saddest
episodes of our times. This was the death of
the Prince Imperial of France. Had Cete-
wayo never lived to levy war against the Brit-
ish power in South Africa, the Prince Imperial
might have been alive to-day, and the desti-
nies of France possibly might have been in a
different channel. But the war with the Afri-
can king, in itself of no great consequence,
furnished a chain of circumstances that have
had most important results far beyond the lit-
tle arena of hostilities with an obscure African
tribe. When the savages of Cetewayo's
country put to a cruel and tragic death
the young man upon whom the hopes of the
Napoleonic dynasty were centered, they little
thought they were, in fact, delivering a tre-
mendous and well-nigh fatal blow at Bona-
partisin in France—a powerful one in behalf
of the stability of French republicanism.
Hence, it is easy to see how intimately con-
nected* with the destinies of France has been
the life of the South African chieftain who has
died at the hands of insurgents. In the un-
equal contest the deceased prince once waged
against the British arms in South Africa, he

What the Interior Papers Say-
Mr. Denison, on account of bad health, offers
to sell the office of the Belton Reporter.
The San Antonio Express, in the following,
gives a gentle hint to those Northern philan-
thropists who overlook the heathen at home
for the sake of making barren missionary
demonstrations elsewhere:
Rev. A. D. Mayo, of Boston, has recently returned
from his third annual tour through the Southern
States in the interest of education. He represents
in an unofficial way the interest taken by a great
number of Northern people in Southern educa-
tional matters. He says there is a feeling of sus-
picion still lingering in Southern society against
Northern people who criticise so liberally, but as
a rule, the intelligent Southerners are fully alive to
the situation, have a practical knowledge of
its needs, and are liberal in their treatment
of those who meet them in a disiuterested spirit.
He says the time has come when the North should
do less of talking at the South across the .border,
and should send forth its broadest aud ablest rep
res»eutatives to visit the Southern people. Those
who have devoted any attention to the subject
know there is more ignorance In the North regard-
ing the South than there is in the South regarding
the North. Men who come here to teach fail, as a
rule, until they have taken a preliminary course of
instruction as students of the South and of the
Southern people. What we want is not teachers—
we have them of our own people—but. rather,
friends, who come here to learn: and, when they
have learned, to aid in developing our natural re-
sources.
The Lampasas Globe copies the circular of a
commercial firm, which says truly:
We would suggest to our friends and the business
men generally in the Interior, that the present is a
good time to visit this market, aud thus combine
business with pleasure. The glorious aud ex-
hilarating; surf baths in the gulf, the beautiful and
unparalleled beach and ttie excellent, hotels, etc..
enable merchants who visit us during the summer
to transact their business in the city during the
day. and enjoy the pleasures of a summer's resort
in the evening.
The Globe mentions the dismissal and fine of
a policeman for striking a man over the
head with a pistol. The fine, $15, was not half
high enough, unless there were strongly extenu-
ating circumstances.
The Lampasas Globe has fallen into the folly
of publishing a fabricated account of a party
of strangers found dead in a carriage, and
supposing it to be a good joke. Humor takes
some strange and revolting forms.
The Galveston News beats telegraphic
lightning as an overtaker of evil-doers. The
El Paso Herald has interviewed Captain
McMurray, the distinguished ranger who cap-
tured Howard H. Doughty, the murderer of
Policeman Mode, at Colorado Citv, and says:
Captain McMurray informs us that it was that
special published in The Galveston News that
gave him the first information and started him in
pursuit of Doughty, which culminated in his cap
ture.
The Brownsville Cosmopolitan does not seem
to be satisfied with being called a daily. Well,
it is weakly, too.
The Corpus Christi Caller mentions the ap-
pearance and disappearance of a suspicious
schooner off Aransas Pass. She avoided be
ing boarded by the bar pilot:
She sailed about-within sight of those at the pass
a couple of days, and then put to sea. Major
Burke, in charge of the government work at Aran-
sas, was of the belief that some person or persons
on board the vessel wanted to effect a landing
somewhere on the island—probably some pei sons
from infected ports on the gulf coast desirous of
making their way, without detention, to some inte-
rior point.
The Farmers' Review says:
Girls in the Iowa Agricultural college are taught
to cook. By and by our superior civilization will
educate a girl in such a manner that she will b- fit
to become a wife—an art which appears to have
been lost some time in the past generation.
Cooking is a science as well as au art, but to
be a wife, as Dogberry says of l eading and
writing, comes by nature.
The San Antonio Times is not ashamed of
the company it keeps. It says:
The Times is not given to flattery, and that fact
will be attested by the press all over the State
But when we express an opinion, or pay a compli-
ment, every word said is meant. Texas has a right
to be proud of her newspapers. A patent inside or
outside does occasionally show itself, and that can
uot be avoided, but there have been times when
prominent papers now were a borrowed overcoat
and were not ashamed of it. The Galveston News
is emphatically a newspaper. There is no journal
in the South that we know of whose get-up is more
neat and becoming fo a newspaper than that
of our island city contemporary, its typographi-
cal toilet is always perfect, and if ever neglected
for years, we do not call to mind the time.
Then the Times wishes that The News was
a more strictly party paper of the old ante
bellum character.
Old lawyers say that it requires an inspired
prophet to foretell the verdict of a petit jury,
yet the Brenham Banner undertakes to do so
in the following:
3londay Dr. Walker succeeded in recovering his
stolen Sunday coat. It also transpires that a negro
named Frank Joseph, alias Frenchy, was the thief.
It seems that Frenchy owns a mule, and en receiv-
ing tlie money he took his mule to a stable and
paid four bits in advance for two feeds; the other
two bits he no doubt devoted to feeding himself
with bug-juice. Dr. Walker, on Tuesday, swore
out a warrant charging him with the fheft of prop-
erty of the value of over $20. The case may be
summed up thus: Dr. Walker got his coat; some
lawyer will get the mule for defending Frenchy,
and*Frenchy will get two years in the penitentiary.
The El Paso Herald says:
Colonel Baylor has returned from Toyah, and re-
ports everything quiet. The cowboys in that
vicinity made one grand mistake in their lives
when they thought to run the rangers. Men hav-
ing had such discipline and practice as the colonel's
men have had can hold their own anywhere.
Thomas Jefferson regarded frequent elec
tions giving the people an opportunity to give
expression to their sentiments, as the best
means of avoiding civil convulsions. Elections
do not come often enough to satisfy some peo-
ple, but they find another way to give vent to
their feelings. The Cleburne Telegram says:
Some people will not be satisfied unless they are
at the head of affairs aud direct everything them-
selves. This class of people feel much relieved
when they are allowed to give expression to their
feelings, and for this reason, as much as any other,
we give place to the growling of Cleburne in an-
other column. The writer kicks this time before
he is spurred, or growls at what he supposes will
be done.
Such writers do not wait to be spurred. They
want to spur somebody else.
The Corpus Christi Critic rises above local
jealousy, and copies, without comment, the re-
mark of the Fort Worth Gazette that the ques-
tion of deep water on the Galveston bar is not
a local one, but, on the contrary, tho entire
country is interested therein, and favoring an
appropriation which shall be sufficient to re-
move the bar and to furnish all the water that
is needed in the channel, for the reason " that
the State of Texas and every other State west
of the Mississippi river is as much interested iu
the matter" as the city of Galveston."
The Lampasas Globe says:
Captain J. W. Davis, of Llano, has in his posses-
sion a letter written by Thomas Jefferson, addressed
to John Thomas, first survej'or of Kentucky, in
which the character of Christ is discussed. Jeffer-
son writes himself down as an Emancipationist
Baptist.
The Waco Examiner has something to say
of the popular craze which finds expression in
such things as paying singers and actors
thousands of dollars for a single performance,
while the best public servants do not receive a
hundredth of such amounts. The newspapers
are responsible for a good deal in this respect,
though they do 110 more than their vocation
demands. Shrewd managers, of whom Bar-
num is a type, by a judicious use of advertis-
ing, inoculate the public with the insane curi-
osity which costs so much. Whether Jenny
Lind or Jumbo is the idol of the hour, people
rush to the show, like negoes to the circus,
though it takes their last dollar. Most of the
people and things exhibited draw by means of
puffing as much as by auy merit in themselves.
LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Church and Stato in Mexico—Extracts
from an Interesting Paper by Consul-
Oeneral David A* Strother.
[Special Correspondence of The News.1
Washington, July 22.—The extension of our
railroad system so as to incorporate th« neigh-
boring republic of Mexico gives to all matters
connected with that country an increased in-
terest, particularly to the people of the South-
west. Of course, the people of Texas are much
bettor acquainted with our neighbors than we
who are located so far away, and 3-et the ad-
antage is sometimes on our side because of
the access which is here afforded to State pa-
pers from our diplomatic agents treating of
the people and countries to which they are ac-
credited. Our consul-general to Mexico,
Colonel David H. Strother, who has a good
reputation in the literary field, has recently
sent the department of state an interesting pa-
per on Church and State in Mexico, which con-
tains much interesting information and gives
some facts new at least to your correspondent.
It may, perhaps, be of interest to the readers
of The News. The important parts of this
paper—all communications to the state depart-
ment on matters now lengthy or important are
diplomatically called papers—are given below,
and it is full of interesting points from history
and speculation. Colonel Strother has been a
voluminous writer and contributor to the
magazines, principally Harper's, and says:
To the thoughtful aud unprejudiced student of
Mexican history it is sufficiently evident that the
conquest achieved by the sword and policy of Cor-
tex must of itself have been but superficial and, in
the nature of things, transitory, had it not been
supplemented, perfected and confirmed by the
missionaries of tfte Spanish Catholic church: and
it is mainly due to the labors of these missionaries
that a new faith and a new civilization wew im-
planted on the soil of the New World, and the vari-
ous tribes or nations which occupied this portion of
the American continent eventually subjngated aud
consolidated into the magnificent viceroyalty of
New Spain.
After three centuries of oppression and spolia-
tion. sometimes modified and ameliorated, at
others shared and encouraged by the representa-
tives of the church. tt*e Mexican people rose against
their conquerers and. after a persistent and san-
guinary struggle of eleven years duration, threw
off the civil and military yoke of Spain and achieved
their national independence. In dissolving the po-
litical relations which had hitherto bound her to
the mother country. Mexico found herself inde-
pendent indeed, but not tree.
The influence of the oid^Spanish church had be-
come so profoundly rooted in the customs and
affections of the people that it seems to have sur-
vived this long period of political and social con-
vulsion but little impaired, and the first device
adopted by independent Mexico was that of the
three guarantees, *4 religion, union and liberty."
But it soon became apparent that the aspirations
of a free people for a liberal and progressive gov-
ernment, and the interests of a church nurtured in
absolutism, were incompatible, and that there could
be no peace until one or the other of these antago-
nistic principles had obtained uncfisputed mastery.
Although, in the long and wasting contest which
followed, the fanaticism of religion and the fana-
ticism of liberty seemed to have vied with each
other in outraging humanity, and amidst personal
interests, selfish ambitious, and political brigand-
age, all guiding principles seem to have been ig
nored or forgotten, yet it appears that there has
always existed in the country a sufficient reserve
of intelligent and disinterested patriotism to direct
events toward that political ideal to which all
modern society seems to be irresistibly tending.
After fifty years of almost continuous wars and re-
volutions the party of liberal opiuions has at length
definitely triumphed.
The results of this triumph have been the com-
plete separation of church and state, and the abso-
lute subjection of the ecclesiastical to the civil
authority; a political constitution, based ou the
broadest republican principles; a free press, free
schools, and uuiversal religious toleration.
Indeed, the laws of the reform, proclaimed in
1857, under Comonfort, and executed bj- Benito
Juarez, in 1807, after the downfall of the empire,
are more thorough and radical in their character
than those promulgated by auy government of
modern times.
The church formerly owned all the best property
in the republic, city and country, consisting, ac-
cording to the statement of a clerical writer, of SGI
rural estates, valued at $71,373,000, and Jots
of city property, valued at $113,241,530, making a
total of $1^4.014,800. Other statements, more gen-
eral in their character aud apparently less accu-
rate, give an aggregateof $300,000.000'as represent-
ing the former wealth of the church. It is not im-
probable that even-this latter estimate falls short
of the truth, for the Mexican ecclesiastical body
well understood the value of money as au element
of power, and, as bankers and money-lenders, pos-
sessed vast essets which could not be publicly
known or estimated.
By the " laws of the reform" the whole of this
property was confiscated (naturalized) for the use
of the State. Even the cathedrals and churches iu
which catholic worship is now permitted are the
absolute property of the government, liable at anv
time to be denounced, sold, or converted to public
uses, the officiating clergy being only tenauts by
courtesv.
All religious societies, from the Jesuits to the
Sisters of Charity, who taught in the schools and
served as nurses iu the hospitals, were suppressed
and their personnel seut out of the country.
Religious parades, propessions or demonstrations
of any kind were strictly prohibited in the streets
or anywhere outside of the churches.
Any priest or attendant appearing in the streets
in a clerical dress is subject to fine and imprison-
ment. Even the ringing of the church bells is reg-
ulated by law.
Those rites which the Catholic church has al-
ways classed among her holy sacraments and ex-
clusive privileges, the possession of which has con-
stituted the ri;?ht arm of tue power over society in
Mexico, are all regulated by the civil law. The
civil authority registers birth, performs the mar
riage ceremony, and provides for the burial of the
dead. While the church marriage ceremonies are
uot prohibited to those who desire them, they are
legally superfluous, and alone have no validity
whatever.
The fact that any government should have been
bold enough to proclaim and strong enough to exe
cute such laws against a religious system appa
reutly so powerful and s6 profoundly radicated in
the hearts and customs^o^iis people, is so surpris-
ing that it would seem to require explanation. This
may be t'ounu. perhaps, in the character of the In-
dian race, whose native spirit of independence pre-
dominates over all other sentiments.
It is further suggested that the aboriginals of
this country never were completely christianized,
but, awed by force or dazzled by showy ceremoni-
als. they accepted the external forms of the new
faith as a sort of compromise with their conquer-
ors. I have myself recently attended religious fes-
tivals where the Indians assisted, clothed and
armed as in the days of Montezuma, with a curious
intermingling of christian and pagan emblems,
aud ceremonies closely resembling some of the sa-
cred dances of the North American tribes.
I have been credibly informed, moreover, that
even to this day, on the anniversaries of the an-
cient pagan festivals, votive garlands are some-
times found hanging upon the hideous stone idols
now exhibited in the court-yard of the National
Museum, and that the natives of the mountain vil-
lages not unfrequently steal away to lonely forests
or hidden caves to worship in "secret the gods of
their barbaric but independent ancestors.
Then, in the natural course of things, the current
ideas of the century have beeu disseminated, and
nave taken root among the more enlightened
classes, and the history of no country contains a
longer or more glorious catalogue of martyrs to
liberal principles than that of Mexico, nor can anv
country boast of more patriotic, able and sagacious
living statesmen, so that when the fruit was ripe
there was a hand ready to gather it.
Benito Juarez, an Indian of pure blood, executed
the laws of reform with the comprehensiveness of
a statesman, and a vindieTiveness engendered by
fifty years of bitter civil strife and three centuries
of oppression. His action was fully sustained by
the nation.
Shorn of her wealth, curtailed in her offices,
stained with the tragic memory of h-»r fallen em-
pire. the old church will probably never again ap-
pear, either in arms or council, as a contestant
for political power, but she still exercises a wide
spread and deep-rooted influence over Mexican
society. With all her losses she lias doubtless
gained much in moral dignity, and the stories
formerly current in regard to the licentiousness of
the Mexican clergy have no applicability to-day;
at least in the capital and principal centers of civ-
ilization there is 110 class of men more respect-
able and exemplary. Neither is the Mexj
can church without the means of continu-
ing her struggle against liberalism on her
more appropriate field of social education an I mo
rainy. According to recent statistics there are now
in Mexico 3S74 Carho'ic temples open t > worshipers.
Old churches are being repaired and refitted, and
now ones are in course of construction. The eccle-
siastical coffers are kept well filled by th« voluntary
contributions of the devout, and where the govern-
ment establishes a free school the church opens
two, and where a Protestant chapel is consecrated
a new Catholic temple is founded.
In the smaller towns aud remoter conservative
districts continued efforts are made to evade or
rultit'y the minor provisions of the reform laws,
and the prohibited religious parades and proces-
sions will from time to time ostentatiously emerge
from their legal seclusion, or the indignant zeal of
some state bishop will fulminate a bull of excom-
munication against such ot his Hock as will persist
in dealing or consulting with Protestants and sec-
taries.
These breaches of the law are loudly denounced
by the liberal press, and several months ago the
president of the republic was moved by the outcry
to issue a proclamation on the subject
About the same time a zealous lady, who mat-
roni/.ed a religious procession in a village near the
capital, was fined and imprisoned for the offense.
While the liberal press seem so nervously and
sensitive to every movement of its once formidable
enemy, the government is cultivating and encour-
aging every element that may serve to strengthen
society against the possibility of "conservative re-
action. Not long since a Protestant clergyman
applied to the governor of an important state for a
guard to protect his church against a threatened
mob. The reply of the governor clearly and curtly
expresses the prevailing sentiment ot* the liberal
party on the question involved: "Sir, I willingly
give you the desired protection, as it is my duty to
see that the laws are respected; and while'l feel no
interest whatever in your religious forms or
opinoins, we are all interested in encouraging the
organization of a body ur* clergymen strong enough
to keep the old church in check."
Thus, while we may feel satisfied that open war
between the ecclesiastical and civil powers is defi-
nitely ended, the conquered party is still considered
sufficiently formidable to keep the victor jealously
alert.
The respective attitudes of the antagonists may
be aptly illustrated by a glance at the grand plaza
of the city, across an angle of which the palace of
the Liberal government and the old cathedral
stand, looking askance at each other; ou the one
hand, at the grand mounting, tho serried lines of
bayonets and the rolling drums appear as a daily
reiterated menace aud warning; ou the other, we
might naturally expect to hear from the cathedral
tower a respousive peal of indignant protest aud
sullen defiance—yet we remember that it is not the
clergy, but the government, which holds the bell-
ropes. And tins brings us to the consideration of
the only point in the question that remains un-
solved and which maybe regarded as of para-
mount importance to the future peace and prosper-
ity of the Republic.
What are the probabilities that the Catholic
church of Mexico, within a reasonable period, will
learn to accommodate itself to the new order of
things and be content to live peaceably side by side
with civil liberty and religious toleration? To this
question a glance at history and impartial observa-
tion of passing events will furnish the most satis-
factory and favorable solution. The indomitable
spirit of independence, especially characteristic of
the Mexican race, the source of many errors and
misfortunes, as well as its greatest glory, does uot
belong exclusively to the party which has pro-
claimed the republic and denied the church partici-
pation iu the civil government, but we may fairly
.suppose that it is shared to a greater or less degree
by men of all parties and shades of opinion. The
three most distinguished among the hero martyrs
of Mexican independence. Hidalgo, Matamoros
and Morelos, were sons aud servants of the church.
In the year 1860, a group of Catholic presbyters,
in the City of Mexico, published a declaration of
their adhesion to the laws of reform and protested
against the refractory conduct of their ecclesias-
tical bretheren. In 1801, Ramon Lozano, a cure of
Santa Barbara deTamaulipas, with his associates,
proclaimed a reform of the church on the basis of
universal toleration and obedience to the civil law.
A similar movement was initiated by Francesco
Aguilar at the capital, in 38g4. These germs of re-
formation seemed to have perished during the wars
of the French intervention, but have revived since
the fall of Maximilian's empire, and are steadily
spreadiug and prospering. Quite recently several
of the leading prelates in different states have
published pastoral letters recommending the ob-
servance of the civil lqp*s in regard to marriage
and other points on which the church party has
been most difficult and refractory hitherto.
From these facts ue can readily believe what is
frequently and co ifidently asserted by Intelligent
Mexicans, that ihcie uovv exists* as there always
has existed in the bosom of the ecclesiastical body
itself, a number of wise, patriotic and liberal men
who sincerely lament the part the church has
taken in former civil contests, and mor« especially
Its more recent obstruction and resistance to the
established and peaceful popular jcovernment of
their country; but controlled by the strict disci-
pline of the fanatical majority this element has
heretofore been unable to make its influence felt.
They nevertheless predict, as the inevitable re-
sult of their liberal system of popular education,
accelerated by the recent revival of commerce,
their rapid material progress and consequent in-
crease in foreign immigration, that the liberal ele-
ineut of the clerical party will be in a position to
dictate such reforms in the church itself as will
sufficiently reconcile its pretensions to the essen-
tial requirements of civil and religious liberty, and
that in a few years we may hoi>e to see these great
principles as firmly established and practically ac-
cepted in Mexican society as they are now broadly
asserted m her constitution and laws.
But those fall into serious error who imagine the
fiossibility of accomplishing any satisfactory re-
igious reform by simply substituting one exclusive
system for another. The inevitable tendency of
free thought and free discussion is to create au
infinite variety of opinions, and a* the cords of dis-
cipline which have hitherto served to bind the old
organization together must, of necessity, be
loosened to make room for the intellectual aud
material growth of the republic, missionaries who
have been nurtured amidst free institutions aud
educated in the broadest christian charity, will find
in Mexico a worthy and interesting field of labor.

The fortieth session opened with full numbers
from fourteen different States and closed on the
20th of June with a brilliant commencement.
The improvements announced one year ago have
been almost completed, and will, in a few weeks,
receive the finishing touches.
The forty-first session will open on the 19th of
September, with facilities more ample and com-
plete than the school has commanded during its
continuous history of forty successful years.
Extensive literary courses are provided, covering
English Language, English Literature, History,
Latin, German, French. Mathematics, Natural
Science, Ethics. The departments of 3Iusic and
Art are fully equipped and conducted under the
best standards. The work iu these departments
receives the highest encomiums from the best
judges.
The school Is run with twenty (20) officers and
teachers. Girls and young ladles are received for
a single session or for the full period of school life,
including vacations. The locality enjoys the ad-
vantages of a mild mountain climato, valuable
medicinal waters and the most picturesque
scenery.
This school wholly disapproves and discards the
agency system for securing pupils. That system
too often places girls and boys in schools and
under influences of a very different type from those
preferred by the»ir parents.
