OArs.-In some part of this TINES there
is an advertisement about Oats, from H.
Brooks, Of near Ossian. A sample of the
grain is at this Office. 1t is nearer Wheat,
in weight, than it is ordinary oats. We
never saw such oats; when farmers come
to McGregor it will pay them well to see
a sample Of it. Dave has not got very
large amount of it on hand, but early ap-
plications will secure seed enough.

THE SIN DOMINGO TREATY.

That San Domingo is the larger part of the
second in size, and perhaps the first In general
attractions of the West India islands; that it
is the he3 lthiest of these, and as fertile as
any, that it can be, better than any other Oc-
cuped, the year round, by natives of
more Northern chimes that it affords
an admirable opening for American
enterprise and sadly needs American order,
are facts as undeniable as they are important
for the consideration of our wisest statesmen
Nevertheless we deem the treaty for the
acquisition of this country by the United States
a thing to be considered with very great
caution; and to be ratified, if at ALL only after
a far more thorough exposition of the present
condition of the country and of the circum-
stances of the negotiations for its purchase
than has yet been offered.
!. That San Domingo tends to the United
States is plain. So does Hayti. So does Cuba.
SO, in effect, do all these islands. So do large
tracts of country on the mainland, alike North
and South of u.s. There is no scarcity of
available territory over which we may spread
There is, throughout these outlying regions, a
tendency, as universal and as powerful as that
of gravitatiOn, drawing them towards us. They
are under our influence now. They tend more
and more to closer union. They are almost
certain, sooner or later, to come.
III. The new problem for American states
manship is how to delay, not how to accelerate
this tendency. We cannot afford to swallow
new territory and peoples too rapidly. Our
Republican institutions, now more than ever
before, can Fest safely only on the general intel
hgence and virtue of the people, on churches
in every village, and school-hOuses through
out the length and breadth of the land
We have just adopted into the body
polite four millions of negroes-lately slaves
by no means yet up to the highest type of edu-
Gated freemen. We are receiving vast acces-
sions of uneducated foreigners on the Atlantic
coast, and the Pacific is bearing to us, far
more rapidly than we are preparing
q welcome for them, the patient, toll
ing opium-eating, idol-worshiping chill
dren of the remotest East. We are con-
froated by the Indian problem, and seem rap

idly approaching the dividing OF ways, before
which we must pause to decide whether we
shall take the one, leading to the exter-
mination of these original owners of our
soil, or the other, leading to their
civilization and citizenship. Here are
elements enough for lowering the
standard of our suffrage. We need 10 make
haste very slowly indeed towards this further
addition to the turbulent, indolent, unstaDie'
and uneducated Spanish Americans, whether
white black, or half-breeds. by and by we
may be able to absorb them as successfully
"a we have absorbed the multifOrm immgra-
ton of the last third of a century. Just now
we have enough to manage. what we ask OIL
our public men il that they delay the preclpi-
tatIon of fresh and yet greater tasks upon us.
iii. This San Domingo treaty needs more
light than has yet been shed upon it. We do
not for one moment doubt that the aim OF the
Administration has been most patriotic and
uprigbt. We do not doubt that, on its face,
the treaty. is as unobectionable as could, I'M
der the circumstances, have been negotiated
by the negotiating parties. We are not indeed
quite 80 sure as to the quality of these parties,
whether on the part of the United States or
of San Domingo. The one has been led
by subordinate military officer, and sustained
by commercial agent. The other has been
conducted by ruler menaced by an insurrec-
ton stronger than his government. But aside
from these questions, there are grave charges
of enormous speculations concealed under the
innocent looking skirts of the treaty. There
are men in New York who profess ability to
name the members of a company alleged to
have title deed to all the most valuable pub
lie property of the country, secured through
an arrangement with Baez, and to be produced
when the treaty is ratified and the specula-
ton is ripe. Among these names are some
Government officials, and many enthusiastic
lobby advocates of the treaty. We hope this
declaration is mere gossip, but action may as
well be delayed till the facts are ascertalned.
We do not oppose the ratification OF this
treaty. We do say that it is matter for
the gravest consideration and the most cau-
tious action that our chief care now should
be to avoid getting new territory too fast
rather than to hasten the acquisition OF what
seems likely to be ours, whenever we want 1T,
for the taking;-that the unpleasant charges
connected with the matter ought first to be
dissipated.
Meantime we hope the question of the ac-
QUESTION of a port in the West Indies may
be kept entirely distinct. That is matter for
the President and the naval authorities. If these
unite in saying that we want the Bay of SANTANA,
or want some other harbor as coaling
station, let this be duly arranged,-not forget
ting that the treaty therefor needs the ratif-
cation of the Senate before it is binding on
anybody. No party will oppose such an ac-
QUESTION, so negotiated and approved. But let
it be understood that for the present, at least,
we would better like our harb0r without the
ncumbrance of an island.

We were promised the close of debate on
the bill abolishng the Franking Privilege In
speech by Mr.. Sumner. But Mr.. Sumner made
his promised speech; other Senators followed
there was a recess, and then the bill was for
gotten, dropped in manner at present nlys-
FERROUS to the unparliamentary mind Inc ire
ouent evasions of this issue have been OF the
most remarkable kind, and betray an original
ity of invention truly wonderful. But Sena-
tors will find that on this and the Income Tax
question there is no evading the public YER
dict. No subterfuge will avail there, and in
the end they will be held to strict account
ability for their long delay We doubt II they
dare continue either. In the end they seem
likely to vote as they ought to have voted long
ago to relieve the people of the abuse of the
one and the insults and expressions OF the
other. Let them do it quickly. Each inten-
tional postpOnemont goes into the account
against them.

Mr.. Jay Gould, it will be remembered, had a
favorite and famous scheme for moving the
"Westem crops" He thought to do it by
Wall-street speculations, and his little project
came to untimely end on certain "Black
Friday" Mr.. Vanderbilt has a scheme also,
it seems, and he has put it on experiment, de-
termined to test its merits. 1t is nothing more
nor less than once more opening the COMPETE
ton between the New-York Central, the Erie,
and the Pennsylvania Central for Western
freight to which brisk rivalry of yore a truce
gave temporary quiet We already have the
first results in the reduction of certain freight
charges over fifty per cent, most capital
way, we imagine, for moving the Western
"crops" And we doubt not shippers will fully
agree with us and encourage the rivalry. Mr..
Vanderbilt understands the great question i'm
measurably better than Mr. Gould.

1t is some consolation to know that there is
to be an end at last to the fight between the
Brooklyn Ring" and District-Attorney Norris
The resolutions and charges of the Ring" are
to be sent to Gov. Hoffman for examination.
While this is fun for the public, whose pa
thence has wearied over the contest, it is death
to the District-Attorney. Gov. Hoffman is as
obedient to the beck of the Brooklyn "Rng"
as to the nod of the more corrupt one of this
city; and the official head of Mr.. Morris is al
ready as good as in the basket.

CU4RLES DICKENS.

III
when his fame comes to be fairly weighed
not that he has created some of the most
beautiful and by far the most humorous
characters in English fiction; not that
he has drawn scenes of real life
with a vividness no artist ever attained
before, but that he has acquired such
an absolute mastery over the human heart
that we take his ideal men and women at once
to our bOsoms, and make every one of his
books gallery of our personal friends. Little
Nell is not the most beautiful crea-
ton in our literature by any means ;
but is any other loved so well "Oliver
"Twist" is not remarkably good as novel /;
but ever since we read it, thirty years ago, we
have been crying for more. Bob Cratchit and
his lame child, Bob Sawyer and Mr. Benjamin
Allen, Betsy TrotwoOd and Mr.. Dick, PegOtty,
Micawber, Pickwick-dear old monarch of
them all-these are not for us the airy fictiOns
of the brain, but flesh and blood friends
whom we love with all our hearts and hope
to meet some day in this very world. 1t Is
the greatness of Dickens that he can inspire
us with feelings like these, and no other man
has ever done it in an equal degree.
Ten or twenty millions of people keep cor
seen so perfectly the poetry, the beauty, the
hundred lessons which the life of the masses
contains, and in all that he has done he has
striven for their good 81 have always

Gin external nature claims some sympathy in the
"breast of the poorest man who breaks his
"scanty loaf of daily bread" So in the faith
that literature was not for the rich alone, and
the noblest work was the work done for tho
Door, he bent himself bravely to his splendid
task. Whether battling with the weapons of his
wit for the release of poor prisoners OF poor
school-bOys, or humanity for almshOuse pau
pers, or relief for befogged and plundered
clients, and public ridden to death by aris-
tocratic ohice-holders or founding a great
liberal newspaper in the interest of popular
government and free education or refusing
with dignity an invitation to attend as an
actor the court where he could not be received
as a private man, Charles Dickens, without a
suspicion of demagoguism, without the affecta
ton of condescending, without uttering one
insincere OF fattering word, made himself as
truly the poet and prophet of the people
in prose as Burns was their chosen
singer in verse. 1t is for this reason that
wherever the English language is spoken
Charles Dickens was cherished as friend. 1t
is for this reason that his death awakens to-
day such universal sorrow, and that his name
will be held in sincerely affectionate remem-
brance to the latest generations.
