II is impossible to force social equality
upon the people by acts of either Congress
or the State Legislatures. In Mississippi
they have State civil rights act, and nu.
merous ingenious devices are resorted to in
order to evade its provisions. The most
common method employed in hotels and
restaurants is to have two apartments for
the service of meals, one marked ''private"
aud reserved for whites, while the other is
open to the colored population. In Macor,
in that State, few days ago, a colored
man NAMED Dick Gray, wto was formerly
barber, after having entertained Senator
Ames and several other politicians, white
and black, at his own residence, visited
restaurant and ordered supper for two.
This restaurant is owned aud conducted
by negro several shades darker than
Gray, but nevertheless be adopts the same
distinctions with regard to his guests that
are applied By whites in the same vocation.
When Gray found bis supper spread in the
apartment devoted to his eolored brethren,
his indignation had no bounds, and after
denouncing the restaurant ksepsr in I'M
measured terms for discriminating against
people Of his own color, he entered COM
plant against him for violating the civil
rights law. This case illustrates the fulfill
ty of civil rights laws. Even the negroes
themselves will not respect such acts where
their custom is derived in large part from
white people.

COMPLAINTS are frequent of late Of the
demoralized condition Of the army stationed
in various portions of the country. The
enlisted men are said TO be subjected to so
many humiliaGions and impositions from
their immediate superiors, that they are
driven to desert in great numbers, and only
what are called the ''dog-robbers" are salts
fed to remain and serve out their term.
A soldier correspondent of the New York
Sun explains what this new term of "dog-
robbers" means. ga dog,robber," says
this correspondent, 'blacks the officers
boots and goes after whisky when they get
out, and when they get drunk undresses
them and puts them to bed, and reports ev-
erything he hears soldier say" Thus en-
Iichtened we are forced TO believe that an
army composed altogether of dog-robbers
would not be formidable, except to the
subsistence department. And TO this COM
plexion is the army rapidly tending under
fbe rule of Grant.

ton made for back pay and salaries is not
indefinite and permanent, within the mean
ing of the act regulating unexpended

MILK AND TYPHOID FEyER.

Since the first well defined suspicion Of
milk as the agent of disseminating typhoid
fever, evidence has accumulated which
proves that the subject is one of importance
by no means minor. Dr. Bateson, Medical
Inspector of Leeds, England, has just ad-
ded important testimony on the subject.
Towards the close of the year 1872, accord
ing to him, fever appeared in Leeds in iso.
lated places, and in districts where the SAINT
tary condition was unexceptionsble. The
cause Of this for while completely bafIied
discovery; but at length it was found that
milk oealer living in the centre of the town
supplied every house in which fever was
present But the milk dealer got bis milk
fIom afarmhouse some distance away, and
AL within bis own house we're well. Upon
visiting the farmhouse six persons were
found suffering from the disease, lying in
room adjoining that in which the milk cans
were kept, and nursed by the same woman
who managed the dairy. OF the eighty
persons attacked fourteen died. A dairy
man in Glasgow, having fever in bis house,
supplied seventy-three families, living in five
different streets, and in these families thirty
six cases of fever occurred.
In these cases and similar ones that have
been re orded in this country, the spores
which cause typhoid fever live and multiply
in milk, as the microscopic germs of cholera
do in human blood, and in the fluids of the
stomach and bowels. 1t is important to
know tbst, not only spring water, as at
Midway, in this State, but our best milk
may become tcontagious as naturally as
mould grows on stale bread, cheese and
meat. The Texas cattle disease is produced
by microscopic fungus of the same poison
Gus character. This fungus acts like opium
kills rev beginners in taking it, while old
offenders escape with little injury. The
csttle from Texas, whose contagion kills
stock, appear to be perfectly |
sound and vel as carried by rail through |
this State. Their fungal spores have been
found in their blood, milk and excrements.
There is every reason TO believe thai bog
cholera has similar origin. Yellow fever
and chills and fever may yet stand in the
same ca egory. Our knowledge in these
matters is progressive, with ample room for
It's enlargement.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer is of opinion
that some of the creditors of the First
National Bank, in the District of Columbia,
ought to bring suit againrt Gen. Grant to
recover the amount of his deposit, which
was fraudenlly returned to him by the bank
officers when the concern bursted. Ex-
Presiden. Andrew johnson, who is heavy
loser, would be very proper person to
bring the suit. The .greediness of Grant

SUBsTITUTION-N CONTRACTION.
An eminent banker SAYS:

Practical resumption means substitution,
not contraction-the substitution of coin for
paper in our circulating medium. When
money becomes de&rer the process must be
arrested. He must avoid the dangerous
rock on which Mr.. Secretary McCulloch
wrecked his stiff bark. No community will
endure contraction when money is dear.
Rul we hold now that contraction is not
necessary. Substitution is not contraction.
THE measure of value is neither heightened
nor shortened. 1t is only strengthened.
Precisely so. Let us strengthen the cred
It and paper part of our currency by salu-
tary infusion of gold and silver into our
general monetary circulation and business.
We have fed ON shucks, cobs, ragged and
dirty shin-plasters long enough.

Mr.. FRANCIS WALKER, in an elaborate
article in the Atlantic Monthly attempts to
prove that the United States win not have
one hundred millions OF people in 1900, but
will be lucky if it comes up to seventy five
millions. We hope Mr.. Walker is true
prophet. A dense population IS curse to
any country. 1t means poverty and destitu-
ton for the masses. The longer we can
hold bsck from being over crowded like
Europe the better for mankind. This idea

THE Governor of South Carolina has or

session On the 21St inst. The object of this
proceeding is not fully explained; but it is
supposed TO have some connection with
the 100000 of State bonds held by Nor

THE New York SIN asks and answers q
question as follows:
"When will President Grant send his
double pay back to the Treasury? Morally,
he has no more right to it than the thieviDg
congressman to their back py."
Just so; but the Republican journals and
orators who are the loudest in their denun-
Cations of the poor Congressmen, have not
one word to say in condemnation Of Grant.
While they wink at his taking the "swag"
he will hardly disgorge. He is not troubled
with any cOmpunctions Of conscience on
that score.

Charles Bradlaugh, the English Republi.
can, stated in recent lecture that there is
not, and never has been, real Republic in
Europe. He says: me
'Spain is only country where few gall
liant Republicans have got to the front, &C.
cepting the burden of the nation which a
cowardiy monarchy, too base and too cow
ardly to meet the disorders itself created,
has left for them to take. France was not
a Republic in 1893, nor in 184S, nor was it
IN 1870. A Republic was not erected by a
Kings running away. 1t wants nations
life and effort, and whenever nation has
submitted too much to personal govern
ment-Nhenever it has had too much CEN
tralized authority-whenever it has left the
Government machinery too much to do
whenever it has abandoned its proper iudi-
viduality whenever the people have not
felt It their Guty-there has never been a
Republic, no matter what may have been
its nominal title"
Few Americans viii be found to gainsay
these views, and stin fewer can gainsay that
we are having "too much centralized au-
thority," too much 'spersonsl government"
by Grant in local affairs, all the way from
Louisiana to Massachusetts, and that popular
apathy is leaving 'sthe Government ma.
chine too much to CO." The Constitution
makers of 1857 set out with the belief that
the world had been governed too much
Has that belief proven uofounded, that we
should substitute for genuine republican
