be Duilt to move produce 10 New Orleans,
and to bring back the goods shipped there
from foreign ports and then the railroads
would be unable to dictate rates to Balti-
more and New York, as the river route to
New Orleans would, for nine months in the
year, be open and in active competition. We
do not share in the prejudice against rail
road companies which demagogucs have at
tempted to create and fost,r for their own
purposes, but we insist that the people of
the whole country have the right to free
trade in every direction, and that, with free
trade, all legitimate business will be im-
mensely more profitable than now.
Free trade would benefit every interest in
the great states wing on the father Of wa
ters and its great and little tributaries. The
people Of Quincy, FOR Instance, are urging a
congressional appropriation for the purpose
OF improving the gniiiccnt harbOr in 'front.'
Of that city. They say, if the harbor was
properly improved, boat-yards would be cs-
tabished there, and thus add largely to the
business and importance OF their city. But
if free trade was established, it would create
such demand for craft iii to navigate the
rivers as has never before been made, and
the people of Quincy would, without any
congressional appropriation for mere local
benefit, find their business immensely in
creased and all their facilities fully utilized.
Free trade would speedily put at work
every idle man in the country; it would
cause the banks of the great rivers to be
alive with all the industries Of navigation
it would move the crops" Of the west with
CELEBRITY such as has not yet been exper-
fenced, and with a profit not enjoyed since
the close Of the war. Free trade would in.
jure no legitimate business, but would
stimulate and protect all sef-sustaniDg in

navigation Of all the great rivers of the
west, and result in period Of such prosper.

A few weeks ago, Mexican living on

city, went 10 his employer and obtained So,
which was due him. He thereupon went
or said he would 90 to the Medina. On the
following Wednesday Mr. Mexican ap-
peared at his home newly clad and with a
brand new six shooter, a new saddle. new
pair Logging and other new things. This
sudden rise Of the fellow TO condition Of
comfort aroused suspicion on the part
of his neighbors The election had passed
and it was not thought that the Mexican
had been favored by politicians with the
means "a obtain tf,o, ortielco ulioh hn bad
purchased. He was questioned and stated
that he had won money gambling in San
Antonio and bought the articles at pawn
shop. But time sped on, and the day be-
fore yesterday son OF the man who owned
a certain old well near where the Mexican
was employed, passed near it. There were
evidences of the earth having been dug up
about the brink of the well. which struck
the boy, who proceeded to investigate the
cause. The boy thercupon left and reported
to his father that there was change in this
old we'll This was last Sunday. The
father repaired to the well ard found bur.
led in il the body OF man in an advanced
state of decomposition. This intelligence
was reported to the authorities, and Justice
Shields yesterday repaired to the place. The
body, which was still in the well, was raised
to the surface, when an inquest was held
resulting in verdict placing the RESPONSE
mlity for the murder upon one Dometrio
Ponce who was found guarded by the citi-
! zens.
The well is only about 300 yards from
the main Castrovilc road, and 200 yards
from a corn crib where Demetrio slept of
nights. There is no house or habitation,
save this crib within II milo of the place.
A strange horse appeared in the vicinity
about the time Demetrio was discharged,
and taken up by man living near by, who
has To this day not found an owner Every
indication is that this Mexican met IN un-
wary traveller, slew him and threw him in
TO this well, or perhaps, murdered some
one who slept with him in the corn crib.
The murder, at all events, was most foul,
and if the assassin has been found, he
should be hung as high as Hannah.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE president,
through the secretary Of state, has replied
to the house resolution originated by Re
preventative Brcntano calling for all papers
and correspondence between thus govern
ment and the government Of the
German empire in reference to
the expulsion from the German empire Of
julius Banner, naturaized citizen Of the
United States, resident Of Chicago, while on
a visit to his parents at Munster, in VOL
alton of the treaty of 1888. The imperial
minister Of foreign affairs, in answer to let
ter OF Minister Bayard Taylor, defends the
action Of his government in the case, and
says he cannot recognize an obligation to
replace damages incurred, as alleged by
Baumcr, through the action Of the royal
government at Munster.

To Improve the Navigation Of the Mis-.
sissipW River.
From the State Register,

Capt. Eads' plan of improving the navi-
cation Of the Mississippi river, 10y deepen
ing the passes OF its mouth, is apparently a
great success, and promises to give such
depth of water in the passes as will allow
the argest sea going vessels to reach New
Orleans. In the success of this work every
citizen of the great Mississippi valley, from
the Alleghanics almost to the foot of the
Rockies, is interested, because the CONNER
cial outlet at New Orleans will tend to
create Il home market iorthe grain andm
which is produced on this broad cxpanse of
fertile land The work Of building the Jet
ties below New Orleans will cost, when
complete, millions of dollars. and this
amount, many people will say is well and
property spent If the desired result is reach

But there is an obstruction to the naviga.

removed without costing the federal treas.
ury one dollar, aud which will be Of more
service to the people Of the west, and of
the whole country, than all the schemes for
dredging and building jctties which the
best engineers can invent We refer to the
protective tariff, which cuts off our foreign
trade, not only from New Orleans but from
all other scapors. This tariff prevents
great quantities Of manufactured goods and
of raw materials from being shipped Ia
this country, and II also prevents to a con-
siderable extent the export Of our produce
Both these facts are Of great interest to the
people Of the agricultural regions, for, on
the one hand, they are forced to pay higher
prices for the goods they buy, and are also
obliged to accept lower prices for the pro
duco they sell. A grain dealer said, the
other day, that he could not afford to buy
grain, even at the low prices al

The Sea Islands.

Nowhere on the face of the earth is
there such congeries of islands as that
which is strung along the coast of the
United States from Key West to Charles
ton. The archipelago of the China Sea
or of the Bahamas possibly includes as
large number, but they are scattered
over a much larger space. These Sea
Islands are all flat, never over ninety
feet high, and are composed of a sandy
alluvium ia some cases, in others of a
soil formed of coral BRAIDED to dust,
while others, again, combine both for
nations. They are often divided from
each other or from the adjoining main
land only by winding but deep creeks
through which the tide flows. TheSe
channels are sometimes so narrow and
overgrown with long signing sedge that
one IS hardly conscious that the banks
represent distinct islands separated by
the waters of the ocean. But although
their formation would seem adapted TO
render these islands monotonous and

The Potter Investigation.

The special bent Of the American
mind seems to be that Of old Si-to In
vestigate. We began to investigte in
1860, and We have been investig ating
ever since. We investigated the South
pretty thoroughly then, and now they
have caught the spirit and propose to
investigate us. Investigation, that is
thoroughly bipartisan, unprecedented
investigation, always leads to one excel
lent result-the good, the true, is yindi-
Gated, and impostures are exposed.
This is precisely the reason why DR.. r.
V. Pierce invites and urges the public
to investigate the remedial powers of
his Family Remedies. He knows that
the trial will vindicate all his claims for
them, and all that has been written of
them by grateful patients, who have
been restored to health by their use.
