NEW CALEDONIA.
The Country to which Thier. BanIShes
Communists.

A writer from Australia gives some
interesting particulars of the growth
OF the Communist colony at New
Caledonia. A cargo OF French Com
mnnists has just been landed there,
and some idea of the place which
they selected for an abode may be
timely.
The island was discovered in 1774
by Cook, and both he and Forster,
who disembarked ut the port now
named by the French "Ballade,
gave a most promising account of
the natives and of their good feeling
toward foreigners. After an interval
of eighteen years the French naviga-
tor d dEntreeasteaux landed here, but
apparently met with not much sue
cess in lis efforts to conciliate the
natives. In 1843, Mgr. Douare
planted the cross in Amata, and as
sumed the title of Bishop of the do
eese which now bears his name, but
in lS47 his house was pillaged and
burned, and he had to- transfer his
residence to the so-called "Ile de
Puis.''
It was not until 1853 that the
French Government took possession
of the group of islands as penal
settlement, and from that day al
hope of reclaiming or civilizing the
natives vanished. Yous Frenchmar
is notoriously bad colonist. Th,
one exception to this rule appears t,
be the French missionary, who com
monty furnishes brilliant example
of devotedness to this sacred calling
and Mgr. Douare had succeeded il
persuading the natives to betak,
themselves to agriculture, and ever
to build rough houses, when all hi
efforts were paralyzed by the arriva
of the French soldiery. The soldier
accuse the priests of want of patriot
ism; of caring more for civilizing tn
ing deprived of his freedom. TIL
j Circuit Court only closed ON Thurs
day, and already some twenty case
are on for the next.

TIE FIGURE ..

To the Editor of The Chicago Ti'i-
bune:-SIn: In recent issue of the
Tribune you gave the romance of the
figure 8. 1t seems to- ne that the
writer does not know iali about No.
8. Therefore, please allow me to
give you few additional facts.
Take number between 100 and
1000, provided the first figure of this
number is higher than the last; for
instance: 632, reverse this number:
236; then subtract, and 396.is left as
the result. You will readily see that
the middle number will be 6 in any
case, and the produce OF the first
and last number, added together,
will be 8. Should there be at the
beginning, there must be an 8 at the
end, and so on. Even should there
be an 0 at the beginning. the last
would be 9, or the result would show
80; for instance: GAS; reverse: SAG;
subtract this from the above, and 80
will be the result.
:, Let anybody secretly write any
three numbers, and give you the
first or the last figure of the result
after reversing and subtracting, and
you can easily tell the whole result.
| Should the number be 931: reversed
l39: subtracted, 1872: and you are
| told that the first number is z, then
i the last must be q; and, as the mid
die number will always be 8. you can
tell that the result is 1872 without
having seen the original figures.

ANA

. Mr.. Curd, of Cincinnati, had an in.
terview with Gen. Butler at the Bur.
net House. The Lnquirer publishes
the following account of the conyer.
sation:
Dir. Curd = General Butler, we
have called to pay our respects 10
you as one of the distinguished citi-
zens Of the United States.
General Butler--Glad to see you,
gentlemen; take seats.
Mr. CT believe you occupy the
same apartment Mr.. Greeley just va.
Gated. You are following him pretty
close.
Gen. B.-Yes; we intend to coun-
teract the favorable impression, if any,
be may make.
Mr. Glow do things look East
General B.-Tbe East is all right.
Vermont and Maine did the thing up
well. But we have bad news from
the West. Things look bad in Ohio
especially. The only trouble is in
the West.
Mr. C.-Greeley's visit has had a
Oppressive effect, enthusing the Dem.
ocrats and Liberals. General Grant
ought TO be brought out to counter
act what Greeley has done.
General B.-So; it would be of nc
use, General Grant can't talk, and hi.
coming would do more harm than
good.
Dir. C.-His presence would have
an encouraging influence TO enthuse
our side.
General B.-N5. No Presiden,
was ever elected who went about
making speeches. General Scott wa,
beaten by Pierce, who stayed at homo
and made no speeches.
Mr.. C.-General Scott could noi
make speech.
General Bile could make bet
ter speech than Gen Grant. He va.
pretty good speaker.
8lr. C.-General Harrison made
speeches while Mr. Van Buren, re
manned 81 home.
General B.-Oh, that was thirt,
years ago, and things have changed
since then.
Mr. C.-General, how are matter!

can manage that State to make it safe
Mr. Cit is further West VOL

General B-0hio and Indiana ar,

Fear. ,hat Governor Flores win be sho

Fears that Governor Flores VIII be Shot.
A private letter from Mazatlaa
gives further particulars of the move
ments of the reyolutionists who late
" captured that city. The chief in
command was Col. Lopez and un-
der him Canedo, Vizcaino and Others.
When Governor Flores, the Military
Commander was captured, be was
Immediately taken to the custom
house and put under strong guard.
FEARS THAT he WILL BE SHOT.
Flores is to be tried by a military
court martial for shooting number
of revolutionary soldiers. The feel
ing is very bitter against Inn and if
he should appear in public it is be-
lieved that he would be assassinated
by some of the revolutionary bandits.
Upon entering the city they cried
out, death to Flores" and when
ever intoxicated send up the same
cheering refrain.
GOVERNOR BUELNA Is ALSO PRISONER.
He is ''the legally and constitu-
tionally elected Governor of Sinaloa,"
but was driven out by Marquee.
When the latter was expelled BY the
Government forces, Flores was made
Military Governor. Now he is a
prisoner, and the revoluEonist Lopez
is chief in authority.
SHOOTING IN THE PuBLIc STREETS.
| Great excitement was produced by
the successful bandits firing at ram
dom in the. streets. As soon as it
was known that they had captured
the garrison, the inhabitants bolted
and barred their doors, as is custom
ary on such eventful occasions. Not~
outstanding this precaasion. num-
bers of innocent persons were killed
and wounded. Several private build
ings were.ruined by cannon balls.
i PROCURING THE srNEws OF WAR.
A forced loan of $40, 900 was levi
ed upon the merchants and wealthy
i inhabitants. The first thing the
! revolutioEists do upon capturing q
!. city is to make these forced loans.
s The act is little better than highway
J robbery. If the merchants refuse,
they are either imprisoned or oAreat-
J ened with shooting. Mazatlan has
been impoverished by these forced
loans.

Editor Chicago Staass Zeitung.

HERMAN RASTER, Esq, Collector of Inter-
nal Revenue for the Chicago Qll.) district,
has resigned that Office. The boilers con-
strued this act as they did Col. FoRNEY's
resignation, as a determination of Mr.. RAs-
TER to oppose Gen. GRANTS denomination.
But they have counted without their host in
this case, as they did in that. He is the editor
of the Stats Zeitung, the leading German
Republican paper in the State, and he declares
his only object in resigning the collectorship
to be desire to devote his whole time to his
paper, and at the same time to render
more effective support to the principles of the
Republican party, in doing which he believes
he is called upon to advocate both the re-
nomination and reelection of President
GRANT. This he will continue to do, and,
relieved from the possible imputations attach
ing to the holding of an office, his action will
not only be more independent, but will I'M
doubtedly have deservedly increased influ-
ence. Col. RAsTER's action gratifes many
of his friends here, and of one thing they feel
assured, the SEIZURE party will get no COM
fort from him.

Maryland Manufactures.

The Baltimore Sun publishes a table of
statistics showing the extent of the manufac-
turing interest of Maryland. From this table
it appears that there are 1912 manufactures
of all kinds in the State, and that the capital
invested in them is s35, s72, 729. They pay
out in wages to the laboring men of the State
an average every year of sl2, S,033. The
value of the raw material consumed yearly
by them is s46, SOC, O91, and the value of man
ufactured products yearly is els, 1924, lO4.
This seems to exhibit very high degree of
prosperity in the important branch of indus
try in question. But, if the policy which the
ruling party in Maryland supports in Congress
and out had been continued from 1861 until
the present time, we venture to assert that
there would have been no such condition OF
affairs IN the State. There would not have
been one-fourth the manufacturing establish
ments there are now, nor one-fourth the
amount paid for labor, while the material
consumed and the result produced would
have been proportlonately less. And if the
present tariff should be destroyed, as it will
be if the votes of Maryland members of Con-
gress can accomplish such result, it would
blot out of existence one-half of them in a
year and destroy the prosperity of the other
half. We hope this great interest will be
saved to Maryland in spite of the efforts of
the majority of the people in behalf of the
destructive doctrine of free trade.

The Reform Meeting.

New York gave, last night, the first re-
Spouse to Cincinnati. 1t was an answer
worthy of the noblest cause. The pursuers,
whom Gen. Schurz described as "baying on
the track of the Independent Senators so
tiercely that it would be alarming if the col
lars around their necks were not so plainly
SEEM" have delighted in declaring the Lib.
eral Republican organization IAN insigniti-
cant movement by mere handful of discon-
tented soreheads. "-Neao York Tribune.
This Mr.. SCHURz, who thus assails the
great majority of the Republican party, for
all honest and consistent Republicans are
"baying on the tracks" of the sorehead
renegades, of whom he is the leader. is one
OF the most shameless and persistent office
beggars in the country. From the dav he
became an American citizen, he has had his
hat out whining, or wheedling, or lying for an
office. The one he holds now was obtained
by fraud, and it is not singular that, as he
resorted to cheat to obtain it, he should
continue to cheat when obtained. His ha-
tired of President GRANT has no other cause
than that he refused to comply with all his
insolent demands for office. A more perfect
lmpostor, as Republican, never existed.

A Faithful Description.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Boston Journal is severe upon the plotters
who are to meet at Cincinnati in May. They
are characterized as unprincipled and broken
down place hunters of all the old cliques,
factions, and parties, who have united for
one object-the defeat of the party in power.
Such men, embittered by disappointment and
possessing about as much partisan honor or
political honesty as Adam did clothing be-
fore Eve fashioned him girdle of fig leaves,
are always ripe for any kind of treason, and
long for an opportunity to revenge their fam
cied wrongs. Catalines are to be found in
every Congressional District who have moth
ing to lose and everything to gain by the
organization of third party, which may in
two or three States hold the balance of power.
Such men as GRINNELL, of Iowa, and
RRowN, of Missouri, and HELPER, of North
Carolina, and AsHBY, of Ohio, and Nc
CLURE, of Pennsylvania, will unite with
would-be leaders of free trade and protec-
ton, all inspired by the same incentive to
exertion as that which used to lead the buc-
cancers of the sixteenth century to the Span
ish Main-plunder and spoils. son to Gin

What Does 1t NIatter1

Every few days the world is informed by
the New York agent of the Associated Press,
by telegraph, that " tomorrow" the New
York Tribune will contain an article defining
its position upon political questions. The last
announcement of this kind is that "tomer-
row" Mr.. GREELEY will tell us that if there
is only one Republican candidate and one
Democratic candidate, he won't do anything
to endanger the success of the first. But if
there are two-that is, if the Cincinnati bolt
ers nominate one--he will support which
ever he chooses! And this declaration is
seized upon by some Republican papers as
very satisfactory and gratifying thing. AS
for ourselves, we think Mr.. GREELEY has
already done all the mischief in his power,
and that it is not of the least Importance
whether he supports the bogus Republican,
the Copperhead, or the Republican ticket.
For year or more he has been laboring to
ALLEVIATE his readers from the Republican
party, and he cannot, and probably will not,
try to reclaim those of them he has succeeded
in convincing that the Republican party should
be DESTROYED

How 10 Encourage Manufs cur
ing Enterprise.

The Joint Legislative Committee on Man
ufactures are still pursuing their labors-
doing all they can to procure information that
will induce capital to invest in such enter
prizes. Their report promises to be very
interesting and valuable compilation of sta
tistical facts on this subject, and, as the Le-
gislature cannot do much more than advise
its adoption by our citizens, we hope that
enough of them will use it for some practical
purpose. Do not wait for outsiders to make
the start, but let the initiation commence
among ourselves. The capital is here, and
enough of it to afford the experiment at least
trial. Let the boot and shoe men be the
first to lead Off.-Sunday Chronicle.
We suggest to those interested in this
matter the policy of relieving from taxation
for term-say of ten years-all capital that
may be hereafter invested in manufacturing
establishments of whatever kind. If such all
act should lead to the investment of ten mill
lions of dollars-no matter how large the
amount-the city could well afford to exempt
it from taxation, and gain largely by the OPP
Grafton. Such enterprises benefit commu
nifty in an hundred ways besides paying taxes.
They bring money into it, increase the popu-
latiOn, cause a new demand for labor, raise
the price of wages, and stimulate all branches
of business. Every mandatory started here
would pay the city back four-fold the amount
of taxes RENTED. We think Portland (Me.)
has adopted this policy, and is reaping rich
reward from it,

Pennsylvania.

The day before the Pennsylvania Republi-
can Convention met to nominate State
ticket, the Philadelphia Press, which was OPP
posed to Gen. HARTRANFT's nomination for
Governor, thus expressed its opinion of him:
For General Hartranft we have nothing
but praise. He was a gallant soldier, and
he has been faithful official. He is radi-
cal Republican, and he would make good
Governor"
With candidate at the head Of the ticket
about whom such an opponent is forced to
concede qualities so unexceptionable, and
with platform that is admitted by the same
paper to be excellent in every respect, we
don't believe there is cause for much alarm.
But the Press throws several buckets of cold
water upon the ticket. We have no doubt
it will take less gloomy view of the situa-
ton in few days.
