presented. At last comes the pressing

Il
demand for cheap labor. and the means
Of supplying it, at the back Of which
in the distance stands John China man
desiring to pass through the golden
gates that he may reach the promised
land of gold redemption and bankers
promises. Occasionally Johns filthy
habits are mildly limited at, but then
John is patient and never cease-to-
work animal; has lower wages and
cheaper feeding than the African, or
the Anglo-Saxon, to recommend them to
his employer. And thus pathway is
soon to reach the tender hearts OF EN-
ployers for the advent of the coming
millions Of John Cinnamon. Then
again, the religions world must tune
their harps and strengthen their hands
for the conversion Of those untold mill
ions of pagans. While Wendell Phil
fps, the great radical reformer, under
the magic power Of the ballot, is pre-
pairing the way for the American peo-
pie, under the auspices Of mammon to
gulp down not only John Chnaman,
but the whole world, proUided only that
the product Of paganism and despot-
ism can be done up in convenient sized
cheap labor parcels and packages, and
sent as general freight, and not all a.
once, by lightning express. But les
that we shall be accused Of undnly
exaggerating Mr.. Philips gormandiz

We sincerely trust tho Labor Con
gress will not adjourn until some steps
have been taken to cooperate with the
International Workingmen's Associa-
ton, in establishing an Emigration
Bureau. Sue 81 Institution, properly
conducted, cannot fail to materially
assist alike the emigrant and the Amerl-
can workman, by preventing the ex
portation Of mechanics under false pre-
lenses, and also by directing the emf
grant TO those sections where In
services are most III demand.

To all of which we say AMEN, with

POLITICAL ITEMS.

General Frank P. Blair still insists that
Grant will not surrender his position rs
President without . resort to force to sus
tain himself, and that the next Presidential
election will result in revolution.
1t is reported that there is movement on
foot in Pennsylvsnia, 10 make General
Horace Porter, the Presidents Private Sec
Rotary, the next Republican candidate for
Governor of that State.
The Rochester Chronicle thinks "a bad
precedent has been sent by the Senate in
the matter of admitting Gen. Ames to q
seat" Probably so. We would like to see
the Senate set good precedent, just for a
change.
1t Is rumored that the Republicans will
try to elect ex Senator Foster speaker of the
Connecticut House OF Representatives.
The Rochester Union calls upon the
Radical leaders of that district to nominate
Fred. Douglass for Congress, on the ground
tina, he has more brains, more character,
and more money than almost any of the
''statesmen' of the party.
The Radicals affect to speak lightly of the
Democratic triumph in Connecticut, but
their conduc, is in i'll keeping with the anA-
ietv manifested by them to hasten the ratih
cation of the Fifteenth amendment IN order
to save the State.
The Seymour, ind. Times, Radical,
says that the negro is being crowded ahead
too fast for the good Of the Radical party, as
well as his own good, and that negro suff
rage is bitter pill for at least oneh half OF
the men who have hitherto voted the Repub.
lican ticket.
The Radical papers SO complacently take
it for granted that the negro vote will be
polled solid for the Republican party, that
it is matter of interest to know what the
eolored population is in the principal states.
In New gland-except Connecticut
they will add nothing to the total vote of
the states" according to the British Journal.
In Connecticut, the colored population mum
bered, in 1869. s,627, with, perhaps 1900
votes. In New York there were 40.005

A LITTLE girl was rebnked by her mother
for her fondness for killing flies. The little
one had acquired great dexterity in this

It, that the parent found she was growing

words as though they suggested g great
