AN Eastern telegram of the LIST
says: "The report of Secretary Bel
knap's having seduced a girl in Iowa
turns out to be utterly false" 1t is
gratifying to know that this report
is founded on lie. Belknap is bad
enough without heaping any more
sins on his head than he can bear.
He has by his acts forfeited re-
spectful recognition, and should be
permitted to withdraw into that
oblivion where ali disreputsble char
acters belong, after, however, he has
answered the charges brought
against him. He is no doubt a strict
man in his social relations, but he
has brought disgrace upon the coun-
Try, and does not merit public notice
even in connection with a case Of Sc
duc;ion.

touching the Chinese question. In
Victoria petition is being circulated
asking the Legislature to keep Chi
namen out altogether or impose an
annual capitation tax of $50; in An
tioch, Gala, the indignant citizens
have actually fired the Chinese quar-
ter of the town and notified certain
of the most objectionable (princi-
pally women) to leave; in the SEN
ate at Washington Sargent is sup
porting his exclusion resolution with
an able argument. showing the evils
attendant upon Coolie immigration
papers from Queensland, Australia,
record the details of movement IN
that country looking to the complete
elimination of the Chinese element
and last of all, rs well as least OF all,
comes the intelligence of commo-
ton at Tybo, Lander County, where
by large number Of queue-bearing
coal-burners were compelled to quit
their employment for good. From
all these accounts of anti Chinese
demonstrations we draw the infer
ence that John is being pretty effect
ually hedged in. His tenure on Sax
on soil is gradually growing less sta
BILE as himself is better understood.
The doctrine of the brotherhood OF
man when applied to him becomes
disastrous to his superiors and has to
be given up. His place on earth
will eventually become definitely
marked, if not seriously circum-
sribed. If, in the course of time, his
own territory become so over-popu-
lated that life is burden his only
resort will be, in the absence of the
privilege of emigration, to resort to
the principles Of defamation elabo-
rated by Nautilus. But by some So
cial regulation of his own he seems
capable of combating the evils OF
over-popuiation without resorting to
any Malthusian practice. At any
rate it is apparent that the white
man will not have him, and even the
dark skins Of Peru are complaining
of the evils Of his presence. 1t Is
now no longer a question that the
presence of the Chinese on our coast
is serious drawback to general
prosperity. 1t is gratifying to OBJ
serve with what Jealous interest the
California Senator is pressing the
matter uponsthe minds of his fellows
in the Senate. San Francisco, and
the whole coast, in fact, has sent on
decided opinion in the premises.
Such a unanimous expression of sen
timent should no, be lightly treated
by the Government. If 1t be, and
nothing shall be done to remedy the
evil of which complaint has been
made, such scenes as that which oc-
Cured at Antioch on Monday night
will be Of frequent occurrence. One
other item of interest as bearing on
the subject should have been put
with those recouuted in the begin
ming. 1t is the arrival of 600 more
recently in San Francisco fresh from
the Flowery Kingdom. Ii is al
most wonderful that this should &C.
cur in the face of the decided and
demonstrated opposition raised
against them. We rather surmise
that if Congress lets the question
pass this time without the attention
its importance calls for, the next
demonstration made in San Francis
co will be Of such an appalling char
aeter as will scare any more from
coming soon.

Centennial Fools.

A septuagenarian by the name OF
George W. Dietz started on Monday
from New Albany on fsot for Phila-
delphia to be presentat the Centennial
A band Of music, the telegraph said,
escorted the veteran outside the limits
of his town and gave him musical
send off. We hope the old man will
get through on time and without
blistering his feet. He seems to be
the first old fool the near approach
of the national exhibition IA
brought to view. A lifelong Struggle
for notoriety without any of its de-
licious fruits has no doubt prompted
him to this last resort. 1t is perhaps
better late than never. He has al
ready succeeded in having his name
and the circumstance of his foolish
exploit tclegraphcd to and printed in
the leading newspapers of the coun-
try. This of itself must be an invigo-
rating consolation; and when the
aged pedestrian picks up paper by
the wayside, adjusts his glasses and
reads the announcement, he will re-
new his journey with a quiekened
step. When finally, however, he
reaches the end of his walk, he may
be dishcartened at discovering that
among all the attractions of that great
show, himself falls quite into in-
significance. This will be "A lesson To
him. but it will come late. 1t is a
pity he did not weigh the matter in
his mind before he set out. We as
sumo, of course, that Dictz is doing
all this footing-it for the sake of
gaining notoriety. If it were pure
patriotism. combined with an empty
purse. that induced him to thus set
out, his action would be worthy of
applause as setting anoble example
of devotion to country. But men
with empty purses scarcely ever have
band of music to start them off on
march. and this patriot from New
Albany is un9uestionably a s,ickler
after fame of the Sergeant Bates
kind. As such. he should be in
every way discouraged. The Ser
geant has not yet turned up in con-
nection with the Centennial; Diotz'
example may serve to bring hin, and
his flag out. If it does, the circum-
cumsaancc should bring perpetual
disrespect upon that old gentleman.
We all felt secare in the hope that he
had permanently subsidized. While
speaking under this head, we are re-
minded of an outlandish proposition
made recently by an obscure Calitor-
MIA paper to the effect that party of
the pioneers of that State 80 in the
primitive style-across lots and alone,
with pack mules and camp equip
page-to Philsdelphia, and place
themselves on exhibition there rs "A
fair sample of the average old-time
Pacific sloper. The proposition ne
ceived no response, and naturally
died away. Pioneers are good enough
in their place, as sensible, pam
gong people; as Centennial fools,
they would not he a success. Phila-
delnhia will most likely develop
some new phases of American eccen-
triciiy before Fail.

flooded with Chinese. They were
considered ruinous to the best IN

The Governorship- Men

Americans have 50 short line of an
oestry and 50 little Inherited wealth that
they arc accustomed TO rely upon their
own efforts for success. In this country
we care very lit.ie for the lineage or wealth
OF man, but inquire only about himself.
Indeed, the man who has struggled sue
cessfully with the adverse circumstances
of mean birth, poverty, lack of early cd
ucalion, and, by dnt Of persevering indus
try, self.restraint and self-cu!tivation, has
made the most of himself is the man we
delight to honor. Self-made men have
from the foundation Of our government
been especial favorites of the American
people. But what is a selt-made man /?
He who stumbles upon a coal mine
on his farm and becomes rich is
not selt-msde; neither is the merchant who
suddenly makes fortune by rise in the
merchandise he happens to have on hand /;
neither is the manufacturer who accident
ally comes INTO possession of and puts to
use valuable Improvement IN bis line of
business, which soon sends his wares and
his name throughout the land. These men
have merely made wealth for themselves,
possibly position, but they have not made
themselves. Their minds may remain as
sterile, their views of men and things as
narrow, and their humanity as contracted
AS before fortune gave them prominence.
Men who have risen from obscurity to
high political stations are generally regard
ed as selt-made, when in fact many of
them are not made at all, They have sue
ceeded in getting into office, the duties and
dignilies of which they have no compre
hension of; besides they are utterly self
ish and care nothing for the wants and
wishes OF the people whom they have
wheedled into supporting them.
Vermont has to-day In some of her high
est offices men who have come up from q
humble origin, who are really self-made.
What they lacked in early advantages that
others enjoyed they made up by their own
efforts. When IN their boyhood they we're
unable to attend school; they studied and
mastered books and improved their minds
by themselves. These men are not always
II necessarily men of great polish or hlgn
literary attainments, but in all cases they
are men of educated minds.
The founders of our state government,
in the constitution and early laws of the
state, made provision for the instruction oil
youth, and the interests of education have
7ver since been guarded with the greatest
vigilance. The cultivation of the menta
faculties has always been regarded as more
important than wealth and all outward
circumstances, and until this centennial
gubernatorial year it never was claimec
| that man could be said to be an educated
man or in any sense self-made, unless ht
had at least mastered the commones
branches taught in the commonest school
| of the state. Watts said,
81 must be measured by my soul,
The minds the standard Of tho man."
| The converse of this sentiment shoult
not now be adopted and ignorance held a
premium.

A post-mortem examination of the body
Of Frederick Lawler, the boy who was
killed by Andrew Moore companion, on
Friday, showed that the knife had pene-
trated the heart causing instant death. The
quarrel arose over the possession of box
of strawberries.
A terrific storm of wind, rain and hail
passed over North Fenton, Broome county,
N. y, Saturday afternoon. Barns, out
houses, valuable fruit and other trees were
demolished, and many air-breadth es-
capes are reported. The area nf the storm
appeared TO be about one-half mile in
breadth and from one to two miles in
length.

much talked of here, while Col Mead has

be found to serve as governor, application
can be made to Windsor county, for we

here, even 1t we have to go to Woodstock
to get them.
But, Mr.. Editor, although we are dvi-
ded somewhat on the county question, yet
upon the nominees for president and vice
president at Cincinnati the republicans are
are largely in favor of Bristow and Wood
ford. Blaine has had some friends here,
but comparatively few, and these not very
decided in their allegiance. In the eyes of
many Blaine did not clear up that Credit
Mobilier matter quite enough. Then it has
also been noticed that he was willing to ex-
cite feelings Of hatred on the part of the
South for the purpose OF making capital
for himself and now, at last, the bubble
bursts, Blaine's best friends must say
goodbye" Our national convention
should nominate for the highest offices in

and who have not even the "smell of fire

Another Attempted Outrage.

Another dastardly outrage has just come
to light at st. Adams. Last Thursday af-
terno0n fifteen years old daughter of Eli
Carroll of Fairfax, left home to visit a
married sister. She went across the lots
and III passing through the woods met two
men with blackened faces. One of them
held his coat before his face and az she
passed he threw it over her head and pulled
her to the ground. The men then attempt
ed to violate her person, but she struggled
violently and screamed for help. Her
cries were heard by her sister, who had
started out to meet her, and she shouted il
answer. This alarmed the men and they
fed without accomplishing their purpose
Miss Carroll thinks she recognized both
men, and has caused the arrest of Chester
and Lowell Keyser, the former her sisters
husband and the latter his brother. AL
though they deny the charge public opin-
ion is strongly against them, as they alone
knew of Miss CAROLS intended visit.
