ticed upon them in many places within

would have gone, nor is it desirable that
they should go; their labor is indispensa-

One of the most appalling TRACE
dies this country has ever known, oc-
Cured in the city Of Brooklyn, last
Tuesday evening, by the burning of
Brooklyn theatre, IN which full $50
oeople lost their lives. The fire orig.
snated by "drop" being ignited
from border light, by means un-
known. In attempting to quench
the flames, the "drop" was lowered,
which added fuel to the fire, and in
a few moments the whole building
was cnyeloped in flames. The work
of removing the dead bodies began
Wednesday morning and has been
continued ever since, until at least
$50 corpses have been found, aud out
of that number. only three can be
identified. The Joss on sae building
reaches $4,000.

OUR neighbor across the way has
been again raking in that pool of all
uncleanness, the New York Sun and
has brought to the surface inhis col
umns another of Dana's characteris-
tic and reckless thrusts at the Presi.
dent. 1t is an extract in which the
Sun pretends to explain how the St.
Louis whiskey thieves obtained Sc.
cret information of the steps taken
by Secretary Bristow against them.
The Sun processes to solve this mys-
terry by producing the following al

L. S. GRANT"
Now the man or paper repeating
lie, knowing it to be such, is equal
ly culpable with the originator Of the
falsehood. 1t is possible that the
Conservative does not know that
President Grant has declared the
above paragraph forgery; in which
case it may be absolved from wilful
mendacity. But if it did know that
Grant had 80 characterized the item
from the Sun, and still reproduces
the SANDER out of pure party malev-
olence, it is deserving of the con.
tempt of all honest men. 1t can on
ly escape the charge of utter and
reckless political unscrupulousness
by plea of ignorance entirely mex
cusable and discreditable. IF it was
not actuated by dishonest motive,
we shall expect to see it repair its
error of publishing Dana's dirty
Islander.

ANNEXATION or SAN DOMINGO

speclaly refer, maintaining, as ] do, that
if my views had been concurred in, the
country would be in q more prosperous

financially. Santo Domingo is very fer

those tropical fruits of which the Uuited
States use so much, and which are provi-
ded or prepared for market now by slave
labor almost exclusively-namely, sugar
coffee, dye woods, mahogany, tropical
fruits, tobacco, etc. About IS per cent
OF the exports of Cuba are consumed in
