CAIRO. HER FUTURE.

The future Of Cairo is la the hands OF
the citizens, and they can make It pros
porous If they will but to do so. they
must learn 70 take an interest in city sf-
fairs. Ifthey stand back and say: ave
don't care let things drift." the city will
not prosper; but il they will take hold
and say 1--WE will make Cairo great !;
We will give to the city good government
officers who can lead Us forward and
will not hold Us back, the effect will soon
be seen in the increasing prosperity of
the city. At the coming city election
our citizens will cast the die Of prosperity
Or anti-prosperity. II they elect Mr..
Morris mayor our hope of future pros
peri,y will not be diminished, but if they
elect Mr.. Winter, we shall despair. Mr..
Morris Is the man for the time. He IL
young, energetic and discreet. aud will

The Massacre In the Maya Hills,

NEW YORK, April IA Calcutta cor
respondent, writing of the massacre in
the Maya Hills, of the surveying party
under Lieutenant Halcombe, says the
heads OF the slain were taken off by sur
yeyors TO prevent their being paradcd in
the villages OF the Nagas, rs those say
ages think as much OF the caput as the
American Indians do Of the Scalp. The
number Of killed, as far as can be- asccr-
tanned, Is eighty; fifty-one were slightly
wounded; iiity-two were unhurt. The
supreme government intends sending
two regiments forward at once, when the
massacre will be avenged. The orders to
these regiments are TO eXterminate, root
and branch, all If the villages and viii
Layers Of what are known as Sanua aud
Nlnn, villages of the Maya Hill tribes.
The savages numbered nearly two hun.
dred, and obtained access to the camp of
Tue surveyors under pretense of bringing
presents presents to officers and selling provi.
slons' etc, to the remainder of the
| party.

Mr.. Becchcr Is witness of good sbll.
ity. Hc swears like a man who had been
brought up to the business as 10 trade.
Prompt IN his replies to the examiner,
be makes every answer tell. All the
charges made by..rilton he denies in sn EN-
pllatic manner, and explains away plaus-
IDLY an the Suspicious circumstances that
have been nscd TO blscken his character.
Unless the plaintiff can successfully con-
rradict him, the verdict OF the jury will
undoubtedly be In Beecher's favor. 1t j,

SHOULD ARCHBISHOP M'CLOSKE Y
DECLINE THE CARD INALATE?

The New York Evening Post expresses
the opinion that Archbishop McCloskey
should decline tho cardinalatc for two reas-
ons :--one. that the constitution Of
the United States forbids any
American citizens accepting title or rank
from any foreign Power and the other
that in Roman Catholic court cardinal
citizen of this Republic, would, pcrchance
take precedence Of the American Minister
| resident at that court.
A correspondent of the New York
Herald says that the Archbishop need
not decline the ofiicoconfcrred upon him
by the Pope for the reasons given. The
Roman Pontiff Is no longer secular for
cign Power and confers no temporal title
or rank; and, besides, even were the old
etiquette regulating the precedence OF
cardinals 10 be universally observed In
European courts (Which il not the case,
the likelihood is that even in former Ro-
man Catholic courts, as In that Of France,
cardinals will only rank In future accord
ing to the precedence granted them by
the law Of the land. In France they
ranked as Senators under the Empire,
and on public occasions were presented
with Senators. In Austria and Spain
their civil rank, and the consequent order
Of precedence, are quite undetermined,
and subject TO the only law likely to pre-.
vail for long time in both these coun-
trics-thc revolutionary law Of the mn
forsecn.
But even when the old laws of court
etiquette regulated all court receptions, a
long lire Of American Presidents, mclud-
ing Washington himself and latterly
Abraham Lincoln, and many eminent
American statesmen, Franklin in earlier
times and Seward of our own, were al.
ways DESTROYS OF having u representative
Of the American Church in the Popc's
supreme council and in the college of
papal electors.

Mr.. MORRIS LECTURE.

the Bigotry of Liberalism was severe. lie
referred to tho fact that the placards on
the wall of the room contained thu wise
words OF Confucius, Thales, and othcl
great men OF the past. but he could dis
cover no placard ON which were the wise
words of Jesus. Had He said nothing
that was worthy OF place with the say
ings OF Tom Paine and CONTIGUOUS: he
fore Him the law had beer
an eye for an eye AMI
tooth for tooth, but He taught the doc
trinc Of love aud forgiveness. His pre-
! cepts have made the world better, more
loving and noblcr. Are we Buddhists
arc we Pagans. that we cmblazon ON

OF Him who spake as never man spake
Why not have that liberality that ca,

even the outlines OF the lecture. rs Dol
too rs II was able. He spoke with r,

ous friends; and TO their credit be |; sal
they received his words in very kind
mood. One Of them said the lecture wa
nothing but another ribbon tied to III
tail Of the Christian Kite to make 1t A
higher, but most of them said: "a
right; we can learn even from our en-,
mics, and this lesson Of tolerance will nc
be lost upon u.s." DIR. Brigham. aft.
