CANCELLATION BEFORE BETRAYAL.

CANCELLATION BEFORE BETRAYAL.
The action of President Hayes in indi-
recty but none the less surely recognizing
the Nichols mob government in Louisiana
BY the withdrawal of troops, Justlhes the
worst fears of all est-minded Repub-
licans. In doing this the president has
done what all Republicans hoped he would
not do, and what two-thlrds OF the party
believed he would not and could not do.
In taking so extreme step In diver sion
from the old-time Republican policy, and
in the betrayal of the constantly reiterated
principles of the party, the president
forces uron every member of the party
the extreme duty of now deciding whether
he is simply Hayes man from policy or
whether he IS still Republican from
principle
Nor can we see that President Hayes
has not, in this action. vitiated his own
title to the presidency by using
the power vested " in his hands
to the dowDfall of government
chosen by the same vote and the same
kind of vote by which he was made
president 1t would seem to us
now to be absolutely proved that the
electoral bill was founded on a bargain
which pledged away in deliberate barter
the legal rights of the Republican state
governments in South Carolina and Louisi-
ana. 1t was not till the remark
able commission was sent there by the
president to plot with their home enemies
that enough of the weaker and over-ignor-
ant men of their party and legislature,
made sure Of their downfall were induced
to desert them. If our expires
sion is not the opinion and feeling of nine
out Of ten of the Republicans of Iowa, we
do not know them now and have not
known them heretofore.

Ben Wade Denounoes President Hayes

New YORK, April 22.-The Times fur
nishes the following letter written by ex-
Senator Benjamin +. Wade, of Ohio, in
condemnation OF President Hayes's south
ern policy, and which is now published for
the first time:
JEFFERSON, o., April o.
Mr.. N U. Painter, Washington, DC:
My DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 5th
was duly received. You ask whether re-
member what | said in favor of President
Hayes in my endeaver to secure his noun
nation at the Cincinnati convention. / do
remember it, after wi hat has since transpir-
ed, with indignation and bitterness of soul
that never felt before You know with
what untiring zeal / labored for the
emancipation of the slaves of the south,
and to procure Justice for them before and
during the terms l was in congress, and /
supposed Gov, Hayes was in full accord
with me on this subject But have been
deceived, betrayed, and even to a degree
that have not language to express. Dur
ing the first month of his administration we
lind him Gloseted with two of the worst and
most mali gnant enemies of the colOred race
that can be found in all that slave cursed
region, and there consulting with those
maletact0cs how best he can put these col
ored people under the iron heel of their most
bitter emf mics, and return them to a con-
dition infinitely worse than before they
were made free. feel that to have eman-
cipated these people and then to leave them
unprotected would be crime as infamous as
TO have reduced them to slavery when thew
were free, and for Hayes to do this to men
who had, at the hazard of their lives,
given him their votes without which he
never could have the power to do this ter
rible injustice No doubt he meditates the
destruction of the party that elect
ed him. The contemplation of all
this fills me with amazelnent and inexpres-
sible indignation. My only consolation is
that history informs me that better men
than ever pretended to be have in like
manner. been deceived. Some have at
tempted to excuse him by saying that he
means well, but hell is paved with inst
such good intentions. Truly yours,
(Slgned) b. +, WADE.

STRIKING COAL MINERS.
Work at the vermillion Coal Mines Nearly
Suspended-One Thousand Miners
Refuse TO Work at Reduced Pay.

STREAToR, ILL.,. April 23.-The Vermil-
lion Coal Mine strikers are still on their
strike here, about 1000 in all being out
of employment As will be remembered,
the miners demand 70 cents per ton for
mining in summer aud 80 cents In winter.
The company propose to pay 90 and 70
cents, and no more. AS neither party re-
cedes, the matter yet remains in statu quo.
The mines are all quiet. There has been
no special disturbance, and it is expected
there will be none. A few miners have
been imported from the outside who are
working at the company's price, and the
Streator company is employing about two
hundred at the old price of seventy and
eighty cents.
The miners have inserted a notice in the
local papers warning laborers to keep
away from Streator.

SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAN in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure
sometimes the pain is in the leftside; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder-b blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are Costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally aconsiderable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.

The Silver King Mtne.

\ correspondent to the Mining and Scientific Press dated Globe City, Ari- zona, October 9, and signed J. D. E., gives a column and half of closely printed notes on the Silver King mine. We glean few extracts in order that Our readers may know what other men and important journals think of our country. The writer to the Press says
 In coming from San Francisco to Globe District, Arizona, I laid over q
 few days at Pioneer District, thirty-five
 miles nearer Florence, mainly with a
 view of taking general extended look
 at the above named we'll known mine.
 A ComstOck miner, looking
 at the white rock on the Silver King dump, will almost think himself in
 Virginia City, and until he goes off
 some distance to the north or south,
 where shafts are being sunk in harder
 granite material, he will find nothingI that will take the "grindstone shape,

Reclamation AIkaII Land.

How to reclaim alkali land is prob
 lem of some interest Tn several agricul-
 tural sections of Southern California
 Some time since the Grange at West
 minister, Los Angeles county, sent a sample of strong alkali soIl to Profes sor Hilgard, of the State University, asking his analysis and opinion on the subject. The Gazette, of Anaheim, now informs us that Professor Hilgard wrote to the Grange that by applying from 600 to 1000 pounds per acre of gypsum to the soil, the alkali could be over come. It should be stated that the sam- pie of soil sent up for analysis was talk en from a tract of land that absolutely refused to produce anything. MT. Nc Pherson, the farmer who furnished the sample, decided to experiment Tn ac- cordance with Professor Hilgard's sug- gestion. He therefore put gypsum on the land, to the amount of 1000 pounds per acre, and secured splendid corn from the soil so treated, while the land all around it, planted and cultivated in the same way, but without the gypsum, failed to produce even so much as a weed. This was certainly a thoroughly practical demonstration that gypsum will cure alkali land. It is stated by the Gazette that supposed deposits of gypsum have been discovered convent entity near at hand, in Santiago canon, and samples of these deposits have now been sent 10 Professor Hilgard. If the discovery proves to be in fact gypsum, a large area of well located, bu: at pres ent sterile alhali land, will be made ex- ceedingly valuable at very small cost San Diego Union.

Eads began his engineering works in the Mississippi mouth, the pubic shrugged it shoulder heavily and doubted the feasibility of the under taking. But the practical success, the 'jethes" evinces, the wonderful energy and skill of the engineer, and should he determine to carry out his Bos- phorus bridge project, great assurance will be entertained in early and com. pIete success.
 We notice by late advlces from Port Eads that the jetties have just been subjected to a severe test, rough ''norther" prevailed with the wind, 57 miles an hour. In alluding to this breeze the Missouri Republican says Tho ,f d.. t,.,, than any experienced since the jetties were begun. Subsequent soundings showed a general improvement of the channel, with 22.2 feet as the least depth on the crest of the bars.
 All the large ships and steamers use the jetty channel; the South pass be- ing the only outlet now recognized by the government None suffer deten- ton, but the largest sailing vessels are readily taken through with the aid of only one tow boat. Formerly at South west pass all large ships required two tow-boats at least. and were sometimes aided by the government dredge boats. Not only are large vessels sure of easy passage through the jetty channel, but their expenses are greatly reduced.
 Inasmuch as NIT. Eads has demon strated the practical success of the jet- ties it may be of interest to some to re call the terms of the contract under which the undertaking was begun.
 On this subject the American Manu- facturer says: The terms of the bill provided for a payment in all of $5,- 250000, this amount to be paid in in stallments, subject to certain condi- tionS. The first payment was made in February last for a channel 20 feet in depth, by 200 feet in width of that depth, and consisted of S50O,000. For every additional two feet in the depth of the channel, each depth of specified width, he is to receive $500,000, while after a channel 24 feet in. depth has been obtained he is 10 receive $2j0, GOO for maintaining it, with like amount for preserving each additional depth of two feet When a channel 30 feet in depth by $50 in width, which is the desired channel, is obtained, S4,250,000 will have been paid, the remaining $l, ,000,0 70 be held as security by the Government, Sj00,000 of which is to be held for ten years.
