Loving peace, yet its fcj&tred of wrong and meanness is too MD- «fr« to be silent in their presence, and it prefers war to submission.

The Let Alone Policy. The favorite argu ment of the Democrats with regard to the Southern situation is that the South should be allowed to work out the problem for herself. This has a plausible sound, but what does it realy signify? To speak of leaving the rectification .of National evils to local in­ fluences when those influences are ndto-1 riously responsible for the existence of such evils is to talk obvious nonsense. The South has been let aHone in this matter for the last twenty years and what has she done to justify that policy? There is not a law on the statute book of any Soutern State that can be said to guarantee protection to the colored man in the exercise of the rights of citizenship. But there are laws in plenty to curtail his priviliges and opportunities and to discourage him in the work of self-sup­ port and self-improvement. He has less freedom to day than he had at the begin- ing. That is to say, ifa all these years since the day of his emancipation he has not been permitted to make the least progress in a political sense. The Consti­ tution means nothing to him; it has been suspended so fat* aft he is concerned He is a citizen in theory, but in fact is an alien and a dependent and society takes no better view of him than it did when he was & slave. ,-3V. \- • • - --' '.Li--...i! jfc-: V'. writ is not unfreque'ht ttrat4 newspa­ pers find themselves unappreciated by the mem whom they have favored by their support, column after column being published in their favdr, and yet such favors, when the test comes are not ap predated. When you find your home paper taking no interest in you or your success, when you find it keeping aggra- vatingly silent when you think the editor should be tearing his linen in your be­ half, do not work yourself into a fever of anxiety us to the cause, but just ask yourself wherein have .von placed the pa­ lter and its editor under obligations to use space and energy for you ? |SP*An explosion took place on the Steam Propeller Tioga, lying in the , Chicago River, on Friday eveniifg last, • ^In which twenty lives were lost and f] •. large amount of adjoining property ^ , destroyed. The accident was, it is sup­ posed, caused by a light in the hands Of one of the anew coming in contact with the escaping gas from petroleum stored In the hold of the vessel. ©"The Piano News gives the tariff alarmists the following inits to crack: Why i.«! it that this 'tariff ridden land continues to receive the millions in in­ creasing numbers from Europe? The immigration statistics for Hit' past three months show the largest arrivals ever recorded. On hearing the Democratic groaningfe over the 'robber tariff,' 'the overtaxed and mortgaged farmer would naturally expect to see outgoing ships loaded with down-trodden working men seeking free trade lands to grow up in the country. The working mafl comes in the steerage and goes back only on a visit, and then in a state-room.

Fremont, the Z,', "Pathfinder," died at New York on Sun- fc , , day last, aged 77 years. His death was wC sodden and unexpected. He took a trip &£< into the country last Tuesday, and on bis return complained of the effects of the heat. On Friday he was attacked* with peritonitis. Lieutenant John Charles g»tl * Fremont, the General's son, was with his ; father to the last. His wife and daughter were in California. A New Game Bird. Un3er the above heading the Courier publishes the following: Hunters who have had occasion to complain of the scarcity of good shooting are likely to find anew line of sport in the Chinese pheasant. Mauy persons inter­ ested'in stocking the state with good game have secured numbers of t hese birds and turned them loose. Under the pro­ tection of the game laws, in a year or two they will Afford an abundance of good shooting. The birds are about as largu asa common prairie chicken, of heautitu! plumage, and their flesh is superior to that of the quail or grouse. They hatch three broods of about fifteen birds each per annum and seem particularly well adapted to this climate. They are much more difficult to kill than quail, pigeons, or woodcocks. Eight years ago the state board of agriculture of Oregon imported from China eleven of thin species of grouse. They have increased to nearly 1,000,000. The state board of agriculture of this state contemplates taking thesainesteps. ell gfttn&t in for the proper display of their large stock of goods, by the un­ dersigned firm.

Nichols now holds the bill and bin veto is expected, but it is claimed" that the nec­ essary two-thirds will be forthcoming to over-ride the veto. Now let the United States do a little legislating on the sub­ ject, as it controls the mails. How can this swindle be operated so successfully without the use of the mails? The lot­ tery pays the "State a million a year, which is good proof that it confiscated all the money the suckers send in.

MB" Postmaster-general ope day recently received Wanamaker ^ t „ a letter post- P S " mar^ed New York, enclosing three one thousand dollar Cnited States gold cer­ tificates which the writer says is interest on a sum of money of which he defrauded the government years ago. He desires Mir. Wanamaker to return the money to the government. He is the same man, he sa^e, who some months ago sent $1,500 to Mr. Wanamaker for the same purpose. The letter accompanying the money is sijgned "Conscience." That fellow had better be watched, Do NOT mistake ordinary cranks for reformers. The modern crank aims to be pert aud disagreable; to be pig headed, obstinate and dead to all save the exist- ance of his pet root of thought. The re­ former is a thinker. A pernon who en­ dures jiatiently; who counts the advance of a good idea as of more importance than the gratification of a whim or exul­ tation of self. Crankw are parsimonious close-fisted, miserly. Reformers are liberal and they sow good seed.--Ex. There are a number of the above des­ cribed "cranks" in tbw neck of woods who, whenever they can, eagerly gra«p the opportunity to give utterance to their narrow minded ideaa, to the utter disgust of all fair-minded people and to the detriment of the "reform" they peek to promote. Wr* At Indianapolis last "week Tuesday a monument was unveiled, which has been erected by popular subscription in honor of Thomas A. Hendricks, who died while vioe-president of the United States. What did he ever do for hie country ? No one need ever tell of the great service rendered by General Grant to preserve tbe Union, but there is no monument on Hie spot where lies buried the man who gained great victories and was President of'the United States two terms. New York city has more millionaires than ai\y other in this country, but if they have any patriotism they keep it under a bushel, but their neglect of the distin guished dead is blazoned before the world.

It charges in substance that tbe officials allow intoxicants sold on the Fair grounds. Let me say uo such [leruiits have ever been granted, nor disposition been mauifeHted in that direction. Before any person could sell, a government li­ cense, a county license, and then a per mit from the Executive must be obtained neither of which has ever been graui ed Intoxicants may have been smuggled on the grounds and slyly disposed of, and any citizen knowing such to be the fact should enter complaint and assist i correcting such abuse.
