'sCiv1I Rights as Defined by the
Alabama Republicans.

If the following resolutions which were
adopted at the late convention of the
Alabama Republicans express the senti
ments of the colored people in the South,
the Congressional Civil Rights (Wrongs)
bill places them in false position. That
measure was designed by its originator
(Mr. Summer to establish mixed schools
in place of the present plan which pre-
walls throughout the country, North and
South. And this construction has been
placed upon it by its opposers.
The Alabama Republicans emphatically
declared in their convention of the 22nd
of August, that they do not desire
"mlxed schools, but simply want schools
for the colored race affording advantages
equal with the whites to which we believe
people of all parties consent And this
rule, the Alabama Republicans propose
shall be applied to every kind Of public
accommodation. The resolutions are
as follows:
The Republican party of Alabama, in
the State convention here assembled, again
declare its mistaken confidence In and its
unalterable devotion to the great princi-
pies of human liberty which called it into
existence, viz: The civil and political
equality of all men, without distinction of
race or color.
That we neither desire not seek the
invasion Of the rights of the white people
by the colored, we only ask equal advan-
tsges in matters of public and common
rights. This we consider to be all that 10
embraced in what is known as the Civil
Rights bill, and in order that we might be
understood, and to correct false charges
made against us, we hereby declare that the
Republican party does not seek miGed schools
or nlired accommodations for the colored
people, but ask IN all of these, that the Gdvaya-
tdges shall be equal. We want no Spscial
equality enforced By law. We recognize
the fact that every home is sacred from
iHtrusiOn, and that in free country every
one can dictate for himself the line Of
social exclusion, that society gave us by
laws more memorable than statute or
law, and opens or closes its door
10 WnOuuSOSNSE IL VIII, anu tlldI no civil
law can or should invade it.
Now, if these resolutions reflect the
views of the coIored people, they ought TO
lose no time in provingit by their actions.
On the school question they certainly
accord with what they have done here in
for, so far from striving to
mixed school system, they
adopted the existing plan of separate
schools. If John r. Lynch and other
colored representatives will see that the
Civil Rights bill is SO amended as to
convey the meaning placed upon it by the
Alabama Republicans, and distinctly |
avow in the language of the latter that
g they do not seek mixed schools nor
70 mixed accommodations for the colored |
i' people, but ask that in all of these, adj
q vantages shall be equal"-they will
,ettle question which disturbs the reposs
If the country, and prove themselves

nave everything to lose by the strife
which the attempted enforcement of the
opposite rule, will pro luce

OF disturbed equilibrium, originating
IN the general corruption, which dethrones
the right and elevates the wrong.
At our singing society last Sunday,
Mrs Cornelia reprimanded me very
severely for reading the New York Her
aid TO the the boys, and for discussing the
! Beecher Filton scandal. She says that
III Georgia such things are considered
unfit for conversation, or that they were
so considered in good old Democratic
times. reminded Mrs. Cornelia that
these are progressive times, and that
is now ugly. | said look at public Off
cers-walk into court ofjustice and look
at the court and jury-visit our State
House and take a look at the officers and
see if you don't see progress.
Beeeher, Theodore" Elizabeth"
and Moulton, are in the social and re-
ligious world what Cakes Ames, Schuy-
Ter Colfax and Cardozo are in politics.
The old lady replied, that so long as
there are no fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the New Testament, she
would believe that what was right in the
past, in either politics or religion, would
bless the present, and what was wrong
IN times gone, could not be tortured into
righteousness for this generation. True
progress, said she, is always in harmony
with truth and justice
| despair of ever convincing Mr.. Jones
and Mrs. Cornelia that they are behind
the times
On the line of the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad, there has recently
appeared a Northern Missionary light
of the Beecher order, and our old fash
Toned Church people are Directing to his
doctrine of elective affinity. VIII they
never see that this is an age of progress.

Horses that are kept in the stable during
summer, should be given daily the luxury
of a roll on the earth. Rolling is the
means given by nature for the animal tc
rid itself of verInin and skin diseases, and
it tends to make the animal healthy.
Some owners objects to allowing horse
to roll on the bare earth, because it gets
into the hair and makes extra work to
keep the animal clean, but the extra
work pays if properly understood. We
allow our horses to roll in the dirt when
be is not moist with perspiration, and
then stand an hour or two with his
coat full of dust before cleaning up

} Miss Mary Caroline, daughter of
Lady Neill, did courageous thing in
England recently. She entered her
dressing-room in time to see a thief in
the act of carrying off her jewel case.
She confronted the fellow and demanded
the case, which he gave her. He then
made for down stairs, but Miss NELL gave
chase, pulling the bells and shouting as
she went; and before the man could open
the front door she had caught him and
shot second bolt of the fastening. Here
he was detained the servant came UP

KILLING TEN AT A TIME.
ancient Egyptians Put 4" Modern
Uses.

From the London Times.
The other day at Sakhara / saw nine
camels pacing down from the mummy pits
to the bank of river ladened with nets,
in which were femora, tibia, and other
bony bits of the human form, some two
hundred weight in each net, on each side
of the camel, Among the pits, there
were people busily engaged in searching,
sitting and sorting out the bones which
almost crust the ground On inquiry,
| learned that the cargoes with which the
camels were laden would be sent to Al
evandria, and thence to be shipped to
English manure manufacturers. They
make excellent manure, am told, par
ticularly for Sweedes and other turnips
The trade is brisk and has been going on
for years, and may go on for many
more. It is strange state to preserve
ones skeleton for thousands of years in
order that there may be fine Southdowns
and chiviots in a distant land But
Egypt is always place of wonders.

Wild rose of the prairie, once fresh with the
dew
In woodland retreat
Thy virginia. blooming, TRANSPARENT and
true,
Was shy and so sweet.
Wild rose ofthe prairie, how young and how
fair
Was thy timld flush!
In innocent silence unopened and
rare,
Each smile was a blush
An rose flower SO changed by the crushing
of time,
Now purple with STAIN
Dust-trailed is thy beauty and suited with
CRIME
And dropping with pain.
All! flower of sweet secrecy, sacred TO
love;
Exhaling thy breath.
Too generous thy giving, thou tender soft
dove,
Thy frankness was death

THE MINING SEASON.

The present has been the most aus
picious mining season we have ever
experienced in Eureka district. All
matters pertaining to mining have
been carried forward uninterruptedly
for more consecutive months than st
any previous period in our history. In
ls7l.2 the town was scourged with
smallpox. in 1928 epizooty and a
gigantic lawsuit between the Rich
mond and Eureka Consolidated COM
pletely paralyzed all branches of in
dustry and business tor many months.
Both of those Winters were also long
and severe. So far this season welave
escaped misfortunes of every descrip-
ton, and the weather up to date has
been all that could be desired. All Of
our mines are looking II yielding
better than yer before. Tie ore sup
plies. now in sight, are good for an
other year, to say nothing OF develop
ments hat are SURE to be made by the
leading companies before the present
reserves shall have been exhausted. II
the Winter should continue favorable.
as is now pro 4 ised, ! III ka will next
Spring ent,r upon a greater season OF
prosperity than has ever been wit
messed in any town or district in the
State, Virginia City not excepted. The
railroad, which will most probably he
completed early next year, will contrib
u,e UNNECESSARILY 10 the realization of
these bright hopes. All things con
say the outlook of Eureka is all that
could be reasonably desired by its
firmest friends.
