A New Political Party.

On Saturday night last, in the City
of Philadelphia. large meeting Of
working mon was held for the purpose
Of organizing, with the view Of form.
ing q new political party in the direct
and paramount interest Of lubor.
In n preamble to n resolution recon-
meuding the organization Of working
men for political purposes, IL was held
TINT the deplorable state of affairs exist
ing in America hns been brought about
by partial legislation, granting undue
power to capital and corporations, and
tho alienation Of the Government aud
representatives in Congress mud in the
State Legislatures, from the people.
This is n very grave charge, md II It
be true in n general sense, rs it must
be admitted to be in some Instances. tho
gravity of the fact can not be over os-
timatcd.
When class legislation becomes the
rule, the danger to Republican institu-
tions becomes imminent. but the rem
edy for nn evil which could only have
become overshadowing in O country
like this, through the venality
Of its own people. will never
be found in forming now polit.
ical parties. In Republic like
ours, the people arc supposed to be the
source Of oil governmental power, and
the new pNrty, spriuging from tho body
of the people, will necessarily contain
or quickly absorb the snme elements
controlling the old established organi-
cations, and full victim to the wiles OF
INSCRIPTIONS demngogues.

Desert Land Law.

Melville Curtis, Deputy United States
Surveyor at Austin, has received from
]. ii. Vaudeville o. Washington City,
n circular which contains the following
important paragraph:
al cannot go farther than to say that
the whole OF the land pre-cmpted must
be reclaimed for agricultural purposes,
bat The raising Of grass would meet
this requirement. Any more librIul
construction Of the Desert Land Act
might cmbaTrhss my successor or the
future policy OF the Land Department.
This stutement is unofficial"
This construction of the desert land
law will serve rs an cXtinguishcr to the
bright hopes Of host Of land grnh-
bcrs, who have, under IN erroneous
idea of the law, already gobbled up
hundreds Of thousands OF acres Of the
most fertile lands III Southern Cali
fornin. II lOcltors under the desert
land net shall DC compelled 10 irrigntc
and cultivate every rood OF around
which they may locate, then the law
will be unohjectiuuablc aud will be Of
incalculab!c benefit to the entire Pacific
coast III Nevada, there ARE many mil

simply for the reason TINT they urc
generally devoid OF surface moisture
during the months Of summer and nu-
tumn. These arid lands, however, are
usually ilankcd by rugged ranges OF
mountains, many of which are crowned
with perpetual SNOW. by sligh,
amount OF ingenuity these mountains
can bo converted into vast reservoirs OF
novGr.iailims water for the PURPOSES Of
irrigation. This method Of obtaining
water for the reclamation Of arid lands
is universally and prohtaLly applied in
Chill and Peru, and if ever Americnu
enterprise shall apply tho Peruvian
plan TO the fertile acres OF Nevada,
then tIIc desert land law will prove II
blessing to thc State.

Tho decp-seated antngonism to the
Chinese element in California, is np-
pRrcntly beginning to produce an ef-
feet upon the leading men Of TINT n.l-
tionulity. The violent opposition TO
Chinese immigration manifested In
San francisco, and the unfriendly feel
ing with which they nre generally re.
gnrded, has at length forced the con-
Yiction That unless something is dono
to check the importation OF these Asi.
attic hortles, much graver results nre yet
to flow from lis continuance. The
movement referred 10 springs from n
Scourco heretofore inactive, it being
from tho representative members Of tho
Chinese companies themselves. Dur
ing tho recent visit Of Senator Morton
to the Bay City. he wns waited upon by
deputntion of leading Mongolian
merchants who requested him to intro
duce Mt the next session Of Congress q
bill for the n6rogation, or at least the
modification, OF the Burlingame treaty,
and for tho laying of per capitn Tux of
SloO upon every Cinnamon coming to
America, for the establishment of fund
with which 10 defrGy the expense OF ro-
turning 10 China those OF their couu-
trynen who may desire to 60 back aud

1t is proposed by tho companies to
make nn effort to induce the Steamship
companies to increase the rates OF fare
to America. reducing those for return
in the sRino ratio. The view Of the sill
uation taken by these men is both SEN
sible and practical, md il il to be mr.
IDENTIFY hoped that the Congress of the
United States will act promptly in con-
formity with tho expressed wishes OF
thcso representative Chinese, for by SO
doing it will also answer tho prayer OF
at lenst nine-tenths of the white people
Of this coast, whose pleading in relu-
tion to this important subject hns thus
far been most shhmefully lmpotcnt. II
Congress shall now respect the wishes
of these illustrious Chinamen, il will
partially atone for the supreme con-
tempt i'll which 1t has persistently hcl /

made such progress as to render all
efforts to save the building futile.
Most of the household effects on the

is estimated at 5000 and on furniture

upwards. Her stock of plumes. aow-

DIED, in Ravenna, October 9Th, 1877,
Cyrenus Jackson, aged IA years, two
months and 13 days.
Hampden Co, Massachusetts,, July
23d, 1903, a son of John and Louisa
Jackson, who came from Mass. and
settled in Aurora, Portage county,
Ohio, in 1913 Cyrenus served an ap-
premiership with his brother (the late
Hon. John +. Jackson), at carding and
cloth dressing, which occupation he
followed for a number of years. June
22d, 1880, he married Miss Rachel Ma
son, of Rayenna, by whom he was the
father of five children. Mrs. Edmund
Twltt, Mrs. VIM. Wright and Miss L.
Z. Jackson, residents Of Isavenna, are
all that survive him. In 1885 the de-
ceased settled in Rsvenna. where he
resided until after the death of his
wife, which occurred juno 2Oth, 1854.
November 18th, 1916, he married
Mis-. Lucinda Hadiock, and removed
to Mayfield, Guy yahOga Co., making
that his home until the death OF his
I'd wife, April 18th, 1872, alter which
he returned to Ravenna, living with
his chiltren up TO the time Of his death.
AT an early date he united with the
Congregational Church, aud continu-
ed conscientiously devoted 10 the faith
and ordinances of that organization
until the Anti-Slavery agitation caus-
division of the lsavenna church,
when he united with the dissenters
under the Passionate of Rev. Willard
Burr. Rank and riches have no neces-
sary connection with genuine good |
qualities often the brayest aud noblest |
character may be found under the |
humblest garb. Mr.. Jackson was diff
fident and unassuming, possessed an
inflexi BILE integrity aud a conscientious
regard for honesty and fair dealing
with his fellow men. lie endured the
and privations of the pio-
neers OF this country, who are fast
passing away. Con-.
