ed. Taken In connection with
the clause including all mem.
bers Of The Forty-second Con-

conference committee and had

The Blind Basket Girl.

The following example Of
love and zeal in a blind girl
will interest our readers. A
blind girl in England, brought
to a clergyman thirty shillings
for a missionary society. The
clergyman, surprised that she
should offer him SO large a sum,
said to her:
"You are poor blind girl;
can not afford to give thirty
shillings to the society"
81 am indeed, sir,' said she,
'as you may see, but not so
poor, perhaps, as you may sup
pose me to be, and l can prove
to you that 1 can better afford
to give these thirty shlllings
thah those girls who have
eyes,"
The clergyman was,oi course,
very much struck with her an.
swer, and said, n shall be glad
to know how you make that
out"
"Sir," she answered, 81 ami d
basket-maker, and being blind;
| can make baskets in the dark
as in the light. Now, 1 am
sure, sir, in the last dark win
teri must have cost those girls
that have eyes more than thir-
ty shilllngs to buy candles to
see to make baskets, and so l
think l have proved that 1 can
afford this money, and now I
hope that you will take it all
for the missionaries.o

the first spot cursed with Afri-
can slavery, and the place
where the great movement for
the extinction of human servi-

land has been welded almest

the blood OF whose children
has been lavishly poured forth
upon its soil. Though fire and
sword, cruelty and persecution,
have swept every part OF this
glorious island. to-day it rests
upon the bosom OF the tropic
seas as beautiful, majestic, and
fruitful in all its natural gifts as

it, waiting only the assistance
of law and sound government,
accompanied by intelligence,
industry, and enterprise, to take
its place as one of the most ia

Political Morality

1t is quite refreshing to note
the comments Of the Opposi.
ton press on result of the Cred.
it Mobilier investigation. To
read some OF these journals,
one would think that they were
the exponents of a party that
never sinned; that held in its
keeping all the public and pri-
vate virtue in the land. Dem
ocratic editors who never had
a word to say against the sin of
rebellion; who defended Tw eed
and his brother thieves as high
toned gentlemen and model
public servants; who have
grown rich by using their col.
umns to advocate and justify
the schemes of a corrupt lobby,
suddenly assume an air OF
sanity innocence, and proceed
tolecture the nation on the sins
and shortcomings of the Re-
publican party.

Indiana Temperance Law.

ROA NhOO AAtSWe
The Republican Legislature
Of Indiana last week passed a
strict temperance law, in CON-
parison with which the Adair
law Is mild and liberal. 1t con.
tains not only the fundamental
principles of the Adair law,
but also other stringent and
oppressive provisions.
The Indiana law forbids the
sale of intoxicating liquors to
be drank in the place of sale,
unless a license has been
granted. Persons who wish to
obtain a license must send a
petition to the County Com
missioners which has been
signed by a majority of the vo-
tefs OF the township, on a
basis Of the number of Sotes
given in the preceding Con
gressional election. Besides,
the possessor of the license
must find security In the sum
of three thousand dollars, with
two real estate owners, for
the sale or giving of intoxicat
ing liquors to a minor, who be.

1t is declared illegal for a
person to get drunk. The
punishment is a fine or impris-

as well as on election days, is
forbidden; also on week days,
betwen the hours of 9 in the
evening and 6 in the morning

The Farmers War Against
RAILWAYS.

1
In Illinois particularly, aud
in the Western States general
ly, a systematic agitation ha:
begun among the farmers t.
eecure the passage of laws tc
regulate the tolls charged fol
passengers and freight. This
is but the beginning of a long
and bitter fight between the
producers and the carriers ot
passengers and freight. 1t is
in the nature of a strike
against the extortions of or.
ganized capital, which neces.
sarily will produce inconveni,
ence and losses to both parties
Agitation, legislation, and liti
CATION will follow in quick
succession; then will come
evasions and more legislation,
an appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United States,
and finally a combination and
consolidation of both interests.
Alter a ten.year struggle it
will be found that isolated
State legislation can not check
the evil, because if products
are to be delivered at New
York, local legislation OF the
several States, unless uniform,
can not afford reliet. After
this has become manifest the
General Government will be
appealed to, and the local
struggle will be nationallzed.
We have no doubt but the
farmers have the right on their
side. The railways have of
late given the least comfort
safety, and accommodation for
the most money, and the soon.
er our railway princes discover
that they can not impose upon
the community with perfect
impunity, the better.
Thus far the resolutions OF
the farmers have been earnest
but temperate, and 1t would
be well if the railway mana
gers would come together, and
inaugurate a friendly confer
ence and measures to abate as
many of the just grievances of
the public as possible.
One of the great difficulties
under which all railways labor
Is the fact that the stock and
mortgage bonds together rep
resent a fictitious Indebtedness.
Many a railway, which could
be built for $4,000 to the mile
and fully equipped, is crippled
by an Indebtedness of twice
that sum per mile. This ficti
tious value mast first be wiped
out before relief can be OBJ
