An Ex-President in Retiracy.

aL - -IN-
Ex-President johnson has set
tied down quietly into the posi-
ton of a private citizen in Ten
nessee. A local paper says that
he saved most of his salary while
President aud is now very well
off for his section. Some before
he retired from the White House
he bought a fine farm of two
hundred and fifty acres, on which
he has erected a Touring mill,
and has lately b,ught a large
brick block in Greenville, and Is
credited with the purpose of
starting a bank, which is much
needed by the people. The ex-
President now spends most of
his time in reading and writing,
and it is believed that he is
about publishing a book which
shall be a defense of his admin
'istration. He has many visitors
from a distance, and during
court week is filed by the peo-
pie from the surrounding coun~
try, who consider Mr.. johnson
to be the greatest man in the
country. Mrs. Slower, one of
Mr.. Johnson's daughters, who
helped him to do the honors of
the White House, is married
again, and is now plain Mrs.
Brown, and Mrs. Patterson, with
her husband, lives on the ex-
Presidents ia m, mentioned
above. If Mr.. johnson has any
intention of entering political
lille again, it is not now evident,
and quiet likely be is undecided
himself.

Expense of the standing Army.

Expense of the Standing Army.
In view of the fact tlat each
American soldier costs the Gov>
ernment two thousand dollars
per annum in time of peace
would it not be well for our mill
tary authorities to note the move
ment now going on in England
with a view of lessening the cost
of armies by utilizing to some ex-
tent the labor they keep unem>
ployed?
A few months ago the question
was put TO the British Secretary
of War in Parliament whether it
was intended to promulgate reg
ulations for the employment of
soldiers in trades connected with
the supply of their own clothing,
repair and construction of their
own dwellings, &c. Mr.. CARD
WELL replied that it had been de-
cided to organize in each regi
ment a corps OF artisans in lieu
of the pioneers as at present con-
stituted; these men to be exempt
from ordinary fatigues. PERMITS
sion, he added, had also been Civ
en- to regiments and corps to ex-
ecute their own barrack dama-
ges; tools had already been issued
to twenty-six regiments, and a
further supply provided for in the
estimate; it was expected that
these institutions would be self
supporting, and a committee had
already been appointed to draw
up a set of rules for guidance
This action is ofgreat Importance,
and we hope it's results will be
watched by our military
authorities Dayton Ledger.

Most Fitting.

It is most fitting that Massa>
ehusetts should come forward as
the champion of Chinese coolie
labor. She did more than any
other community to fasten Afrl-
can slavery upon the South
At the adoption of the Constitu-
ton the feeling was decidedly
against it in the central States
Had the slave trade been at
once prohibited, there is no doubt
but that the institution of slavery
would havs been abolished pea
chilly years ago. But the New
England States, Massachusetts,
taking the lead, combined with
North and South Carolina and
passed the clause in the Consti-
tuition legallzing it for twenty
years. In those twenty years
more slaves were imported than
in the century previous. The in>
stitution became a fixed fact,
through New England's cupidity.
She drove a profitable traffic in
dealing in human fesb-buying
slaves in Africa with rum, calls
Goes and gewgaws, and selling
them at enormous profits to the
Planters. And now
her people have taken up the
Chinese business. They are SUBJ
Monaghan labor for
white in her factories. The white
toilers asked for a ten hour law,
and this was refused. Such uni
reasonable laboring men and
women must be got rid of. And
80 they have been importing
The matter was before
the Legislature of Massachusetts
the other day in the shape of a
bill to restrict such contracts to
six months, but it was voted
And thus the men who
have just deluged the land in
blood to get rid of African sla-
very place themselves on record
in favor of establishing Chinese
cooIie,sm. o, the hypocrites!

Chinese do not come to

The Chinese do not come to
this country as immigrants, but
as cattle, to be sent here, there,
anywhere their rnaster may de-
termine. They are assured their
1913 per month for their whole
time, but whether their work is
in Massachusetts, or Michigan,
whether it be to peg shoes or dig
onions, to rock cradles OIL spread
hay, they neither know nor care.
The opposition to Chinese labor
is not based, at present, on per-
sonal hostility, on repugnance to
race, or even on the fact that, as
5mportations their (virtual) slave
labor is set down by the side, with
free labor; that they. r used ae
as tools in the hands of cunning
men, to beat down the just living
rates now received by workmen;
that they can be put to-day at
this, tomorrow at that-in other
words, they are to be used as a
disturbing element, not at all in
the interest of the public, but to
the the pecuniary tetriment of
the laborer and the moral degra>
dation of the status of labor
throughout the handspring
field TrnuScriDt.
