above really very comprehensive and valuable
work.
All Americans are interested in and will
want " The Centennial Gazetteer as a book
of constant reference. and to preserve for
their children as the only complete and reli-
able work published, showing the results of
the first one hundred years of the republic

the United States, from national standpoint
showing the extent of its growth and the vast
ness of its wealth and resources. This is fol-
lowed by the alphabetical Gazetteer or COM
plete Encyclopedia of all the States, Terri
tories, counties, townships, cit es, villages,
post-ofices, mountains, rivers, lakes, ETC.,
of the Union. Thus making the book
complete shippers guide and post-office
directory as well as q work of great national
interest. 1t is the only National Gazetteer
published since 1850. The author has long
made the geography and statistics of our
country specially, and consequently brings
to bear upon his work wealth aud profund-
ity of resource scarcely possessed by any
o.her man of his time. He has been engaged
upon it for over three years, assisted by a
corps of statisticians and scholars, and he has
spared neither labor nor expenssI NJ AXE it full

learned that not even an absolute monarch
can afford to drive capital away from his en-
pire or to bind his subjects in the letters OF
oppression. By the necessities of self-defense
they are at last taught that there can be no
prosperity among a people whose rulers
are unjust that no government can be
strong which has not justice for its
cornerstone. and that the msxims of the Ko-
ran are as applicable to rulers as to subjects.
Whether those who govern get their right and
title by birthright or by election, their chief
claim to it lies in their will and their ability
to rule with even-handed justice.
Nought is on earth more sacred or divine,
That Gods and men do equally adore,
Than this same virtue that doth right define;
For til heavens themselves, whence mortal men
implore
Right in their wrongs, are ruled by righteous
lore
OF highest Jove, who doth true justice deal
To his inferior gods; and evermore
Herewith contains his heavenly commonweal;
The skill whereof to princes hearts he doth
oil

A LESSON IN JUSTICE.

The legislative excursionists who have
paused for few years in this and other
afflicted States may learn something from the
reform movement now in progress in Turkey.
This empire has been for long time "sick, u
but the Sultan and his doctors have at last
only gone as far as the diagnosis and even
that is not as thorough as it ought to be made.
The doctors of the Sultan's cabinet affirm
that the chief ailment of the sick man is de-
bility resulting from excessive and injudicious
phlebotomy at the hands of tax-gathering
quacks.
Forty millions Of Turks, made up of a
dozen or more diverse races, get their living
from the products of an area of about 1,900,-
600 square miles, while their general gov
eminent, including army, navy, civil list,
harem, public works, public schools and pen
sions costs less than fifth part or what is
expended by our Federal government. The
people are for the most part poor and seldom
thrifty, and therefore unable to bear much
taxing. By the time they have paid their
land taxes, their poll taxes, their fittings,
their tribute money. their excise taxes and sun
dry indirect taxes, according to the exactions of
the greedy fellows who farm the revenues, the
subjects of the Sultan rarely have more than
enough left to feed their families. The EN-
pire raises enough for home consumption,
besides much grain and other products for
export, but the system of culture is SO rude
and imperfect that production is far less than
what it should be. Much of the land or the
produce from it is so taxed that occupants
are discouraged, and cease to attach value to
lands from which they can scarcely subsist.
This is in a great degree the result of the
vicious system of selling out the uncollected
taxes and dues to professional collectors,
whose aim is to grind as much as they can
out of the people, and to pay as little of their
gatherings to the government as possible.
Into these abuses the Sultan. his Visier, Sc
raskier, Capudans, Pashas, Mufti, Mollahs,
Cadi, Imans and Ulemas are beginning to
look, after they have lasted for soma centu-
ries. They have learned that there is limit
beyond which lands cease to De basis of
taxation, and their inhabitants lose the ability
to obtain and pay tribute money. They have

more imperative than decent for him to re-
ceive it from politicians Of his own party:
but after the payment of his first quarter
salary, there can be no valid excuse on his
part for borrowing or for receiving gift in
the disguise of loan or without disguise OF
any kind.
Can we not have President proud enough,
pure enough, manly enough, patriotic enough
to follow the high examples of all the others
rather than that of Grant? Let us try.

John G. Calhoun, the distinguished South
Carolina statesman, died at Fort Hill, in that
State, few days ago. The Charleston Neaos
and Courier says "the tidiDgs of her death,
which will be universally regretted, carry the

the time when her illustrious father guided
the destinies of the State, and remind them
how often, in the trying days since the war,

1t is the first time that such enterprise has been
inaugurated at the South, and being held at time
when the city of New Orleans is thronged with thou
sands of visitors to participate in the festivities of the
Carnival it affords unusual inducements to exhibitors
flom every section of the country.
The commissioners earnestly appeal to the people
the Southern States to lend their aid and
ment to the Exposition and to make it in all respects
complete exhibition of Southern productions and it
hoped that manufacturers producers and others in

Ample arrangements have been perfected for the

Red Cloud is to be credited with good
thing-the best word spoken during the long
palaver with the Indian Commissioners.
When asked upon what terms he would cede
the Black Hills, he named an absurd sum in
money, and such an endowment of chattels
for each Indian family as very few white
men have the good luck to possess, and as
signed as reason, that, since the Govern
ment desired to make white man of him,
he wished to indulge like white man."
