A Sad Picture.

The editor of the Pittsburg Methodist
Recorder, who has lately been on a tour
through the Southern States, thus alludes
to the negroes:
Much has been said about the religion Of
the black race; and they have a religion,
after a sort. But, as mass, they are in
clined to superstition, and are apt to be
swept headlong into sensuous sin by their
emotions. While they are religious, they
are not moral. We speak Of the majorities
the multitudes. True, there are noble ex-
ceptions, and these prove the possibility
Of better condition for the race as whole.
But at present there is sad lask Of virtue,
even among professed church members. The
colored churches, both Of the Baptist and
Methodist schools land these include nearly
all who pretend any religious faithb are al
most without discipline on some points Of
common morality. The seventh command
ment is almost dead letter in many com
munities. Its observance is excef tional
rather than normal. Touching this sin OF
unchastity, the negro, in his present condi-
ton, is alarmingly in need Of the Gospel.
The race is deteriorating, and will ultimately
become extinct, unless there is check to
licentiousness. Already the statistics OF
population show an astounding decrease of
births during the past six or eight years.
This is bad picture, but we fear it is
too correct. Southern negroes need moral
missionaries rather than the ballot.

RefrcucI,S meat,

When senator Eaton, of Connecticut,
stated some months ago that, with
proper retrcnchment in the expenditures
Of the Federal Government, the national
debt could he paid of in twenty years,
without the addition Of a dollar 10 the
burden the people are already carrying,
the Radical ,ournals intimated that he
had got into water beyond his depth,
and really didn't know what he was
talking about. The New York Sun is
now shining in the same economic path,
and thinks that $50, 900, 900 per annum
can be Topped off in the way of expendi-
ture, in respect to fouror five items only,
namely, sli 100000 in army expenses,
100000 in the navy, $50, 100000 in
the civil and miscellaneous list, $3, ,OO0,-
900 in the Indian service, and =, 100000
in the printing, etc. Ii is questionable
whether a still greater reduction may
not be made in respect TO these emu
merated items, and there are other re-
ductions which, with the natural increase
Of revenue in the next twenty year.,
would render the statement Of Senator
Eaton a matter Of complete yerihcation.

cratic President. Writing TO Count
Diodati in 1907, two years before his
second term was ended, al have" says
Jefferson, requested my fellow citizens
to think Of a successor for me to whom
] shall deliver the public concerns with
greater joy than received them.
have the consolation, too, Of having
added nothing to my private fortune
during my public service, and Of retir-
ing with h,nds as clean as they arc
empty" A year later, in March, 1908,
the Democrats Of Adams county, Penn
sylvania, presented an address TO tho
President. "I thank you, fellow citi-
zens," said Jefferson in reply, "for the
solicitude you kindly express for my
future welfare. A retirement from the
exercise Of my present charge is equally
for your good and my own happiness"
Again, early in the same year the Leg
islatures Of eight States in official ad-
dresses urged Jefferson to remain in Office,
and in his response he used the following
language:
That I should lay down my charge at q
proper period is as much duty as to have
borne it faithfully. II some termination to
the services Of the Chief Magistrate be not
fixed by the Constitution or supplied by
practice, his Office, nominally for years, will,
in fact, become for life and history shows
how easily that degcnerates into an Inherit
ance. Believing that representative gov
ernment, responsible at short periods Of elec-
tion, is that which produces the greatest sum
Of happiness to mankind, feel II q duty 10
do no act which shall essentially impair that
principle and should unwillingly be the
person who, disregarding the sound prece-
dent set by an ilustrious predecessor, should
furnish the first example Of Prolongation
beyond the second term OF Office.
This opinion he held to the end Of his
lie, and, in 1918, writing from Month
cello TO Mr.. James Martin, he once more
expressed himself to the same purport:
lam for responsibilities at short periods,
seeing neither reason nor safety in making
public functionaries independent Of the ma
ton for life, or even for long terms Of years.
On this principle I prefer the Presidential
term Of four years 10 that Of seven years,
which I myself had at first suggested, an
neKing to il, however, ineligibility forever
after and wish it were now annexed to
the second quadriennial election Of Presi-
dent.
There may be those who regret that
President Grant so obstinately refuses
to decline third term, preferring rather
to complete the shipwreck of the confid-
ing Republican party, whose nomination
he first accepted only after he had con-
vinced himself that he could not obtain
the nomination Of the Democracy bu
that obstinacy doubtless has its use. 1t
gives logical completeness to political
career distinguished alike for lack of
magnanimity and Of wisdom, and it
tends to impress anew upon the minds
of the people the useful lesson that a
military man is rarely suitable for high
civil office.

Zen. DARTS Trwe to fhe Fsas at Last.

Judging from Houston, Texas, item
in regard to a military review on the fair
grounds, JEFF. Davis has melted at last.
There were a good many ex-CoDfederate
soldiers among the troops, and Mr.. Davis
made speech in which he referred TO
their record, and said they owed the
same devotion to the flag under which
they now live II occasion should ever
come. The sentiment was received with
tremendous cheering by at least ten
thousand present. Governor Cooke said
the greatest man in the North, Horace
Greeley, and the greatest man of the
South, Jefferson Davis, had now spoken
from the Ame stand, advising the same
sentiment; that the war between the
Blue and the Gray was forever ended,
and hencefortA they would march shoul-
der TO shoulder under the same flag. lie
paid a noble compliment to Mr.. Greeley,
and Mr.. Davis for once seemed To forget
his lofty dignity, and eheered heartily
with the rest.

that the next improvement In foreign
railway travel will be the introduction
Of our sixty seat passenger cars, in place
Of the six-scat boxes now in use, and that
when adopted they will be as highly

have been literally patronized in America
for over fifteen years.
The English are now having a really
good scare. Several avants have united
their forces, and, by means Of algebra,
geometry and the double rule Of three,
are showing the people Of England that
their coal Is nearly exhausted; in truth,
II the present rate Of consumption goes
on, that they have q supply for only
1900 year. Economy is now the order
Of the day there; housckespcrs scold
their men-ervants for throwing coal at
the cats, their maids for not burning
slack, while the price Of fuel rises, the
purses Of the consumers go up, and the
pockets Of the dealers down. A cheering
thought this, that in only $4,000 years
England will be obliged to buy all her
coal from us.

eighty feet the salt was reached, but the
boring was continued to depth Of nine
hundred and eighty feet, the diameter Of
the bore being reduced to about thirteen
inches. The boring was subsequently,
prosecuted by steam until the final depth
Of 4,194 feet was attained. At the low
