THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The second annual message Of
President Hayes, which we print to.
day on third page, is a straight for
ward b1siness document, briefly re-
viewing the operations of the sever
al executive departments during the
past year and making only such re-
commentators as the condition of
the public interests demands. The
most interesting portion is that in
which he alludes to affairs in the
South. He treats the situation with
clear PERCEPTION of the crimes "a
gainst personal freedom and the
right Of suffrage committed by the
white leaders in the South; and takes
firm ground In favor Of enforcing
the laws, and Furnishing all offend
ers. As a whole the message is pro-
nounced an admirable state paper,
and we commend it to all readers
who wish to be well informed as re.
CARDS our public matters.

shows that the wells are more or less
con taminated by surface drainage
and by the sinks and vaults upon
the premises. Open wells are also
more likely to be effected by impure
matter falling into them and which
in the ordinary use is difficult to de-
tect. That such water is largely the
cause Of the prevailing epidemic
there can be but little question. The
first fatal cases Of diphthe1ia,s occur
red in the family using No. 3, in
which large percentage Of chlorine
was found, indicating sink drain con
tamination. No. 2, also pronounced
very bad, was used by a family in
which five deaths occurred, and in
the case of No. 5, four fatal cases of
diptheria, and one or more Of ty-
phoid. Its further use for family pur-
poses is advised against.

upon capital. The industries ofthe
land are carried on by capital; and
whenever that is destroyed labor
suffers and is certain to suffer. IF
from any cause, the capital of the
Northwestern Railway company

man who has work for another, and
gives it to him, and compensates
him for it is not his enemy. He
who does the work is debtor to him
who gives it. The principle is true
as applied to corporations.
We are not blind to the other
side Of this question. Capital can
not get along without labor. Mines
cannot be worked, nor railroads
constructed, nor manufacturing es-
Establishments build without labor.
The two are inseperably connected.

A NATIONAL MALTA.

A herculean attempt will be made
by prominent military men all over
the country to get Congress this
winter to provide for thorough
organization of a national MALTA.
Meetings have already been held in
New York, Virginia and other pla.
ces, and the plan Of organization, so
far outlined, is about as follows: The
formation of one regiment of one
thousand men in each Congressional
district, to be equipped and orga-
nized by the United States, but the
officers appointed by the States, to
be under the orders Of the governors
of the States; the appropriation not
to be paid until an inspection by The
federal staff showed the militia came
up to the standard Of. efficiency, the
volunteers in each State to be enlist
ed for five years; one fifth to go out
ofservice each year, and camps Of
instruction not exceeding thirty days
each YeAr to be provided. This
WOW give thirty thousand men IN
thefanks at the end of FIVE years.
Three hunderd thousand men would
be trained and discharged, and at
the end Of ten years 100000 trained
and discharged men would consti-
tute a reserve force for any emer-
gency. The scheme-does not con-
template compulsory service, but
involves a government appropriation
Of 81 900, 600 for the purchase Of uni
forms, arms, equipments, ETC., and
has the approval Of Gen. w. T.
Sherman and many other distin-
guished military men. This certain
" is a step,i i'll the right direction
and, although the editor Of the Re-
VIEW has no lofty aspirations, we
hope that our delegation in Congress
will be friendly to the scheme.

Speaking of these several samples
of water, Prof. Peckmann says: Nos.
1. 2. 3 and 5 are bad-No. 8 is par
ticularly bad, the high percentage
Of chlorine in this case indicate ny
sink drain contamination. No. /
is better than No. 5. The abume-
mold emmonia indicates on an aver
age ten times the amount Of album
nous material in the form Of excre.
ment or sewerage. No. /. 5 and 2
contained large proportion Of car
Donates, No. 3 contained very
small proportion. Nos. 4 and 6 are
pronounced mot nearly as bad as
the others, but the albumoid amin
monia IS more than it oughtto be. Z
Thesignifcance of these results is
illustrated by the Professor. He
says that some time ago DR.. Hand
sent him sample Of water from St.
Paul, from a Wellsused by two fami-
lies IN which there had been seven
cases Of typhoid fever in four weeks.
It yielded 40 parts in the one million
Of albuminoid ammonia. Two
cases are cited by Wanklyn as hav-
ing been supposed to have each pro-
duced case Of English cholera, one
contained 80 the other SO parts in
one million. In his last report the
Professor gives an analysis Of water
from three wells iii Brainard, one Of
which contained 49, parts, another
none, and another ID parts of al
buminoid ammonia. The families
using the first and third had cases
ofty phoid fever.

LABOR'S DEBT TO CAPITAL.
Written for the Review by Q. P. CHAMpL1N.

LABOR'S DEBT TO CAPITAL.
Written for the Review by Q. p CHAn1PL1N.
Is labor under any obligation to
capital? We deem the question of
Importance in this discussion. There
can be no wise legislation regulat.
ing these two factors without clear
apprehension Of their mutual rela-
ton to each other. If their interests
are antagonistical then it should be
clearly pointed out. We think,
however, that labor owes capital a
great debt which ought to be recog-
nized and acknowledged. Whether
there is a debt on the other side will
be pointed out hereafter.
l. Let us glance at the winning
industries Of our land. There were
in 1870 one hundred forty-seyen
thousand seven hundred and fifty
heads Of families engaged in mining:
but mining operations cannot be
carried on without capital. To get
at the precious metals, especially,
mountains must be penetrated,
shafts must be sunk, the mines dis.
covered and then the ore extracted.
What this involves Charles Barnard
tells in Harper's for December.
''First their must be power-a bat.
terry Of steam. boilers brought at
vast expense from distant cities into
the wilderness. Then follow en-
gines for hosting and pumping, for
saving lumber and turning ventil-
ating fans. There must be houses
and shops, mills and offices. fur.
naces, retasts, storehouses for chemi-
Gals and houses for man and beast
in short, a town. There are often
no trees in all the land, and distant
mountains must be stripped Of limb
er, and railroads must be laid to
move it, that huge beams and logs
be ready to line the shafts and deep
galleries below. There must be
gathered engineers, miners, carpent-
ers, tracklayers, surveyors, and
clerks, and ali those must be Shelf
cred from the weather while at
work. A comprehensive plan of
the mining plant must be drawn,
showing the position Of the shaft,
the engines, pumps, timber-yards,
railways, counting rooms, and mills
in brief, there must be a city in
the wilderness. . All this is preli-
minary; but what an immense out.
lay Of capital is involved. Capital
lies at the basis Of this stupendous
enterprise; and if that is destroyed
the whole thing fails. It is newt
able that it should. These one
/ hundred forty seven thousand and
more heads Of families engaged in
mining would have to turn to some
thing else if the capital invested in
this industry was destroyed. Any
one who gives a moments thought Il
this, will, Of course, see that large
capital must necessarily be sunk be.
fore one cent is realized. These
mining cities would vanish like
shadows if capital was destroyed.

as railroad men; but these roads de.
pend upon capital, and if it is de
stroyed they can do nothing. Nov

Lone Tree Lake, Dec. 1, 1878.
Editor RevieW:
The Ladies Aid Society held fes-
tival at the Lone Tree Lake House, on
Thanksgiving evening, which was an
entire success, and passed off as pleas
antly as could have been desired. The
supper, contributed by the ladies, was
excellent, and only cOrrObOIated what
has been many times remarked of the
culinary skill of the ladies of Eden,
and financially considered the result
was quite satisfactory. All present
expressed themselves as highly pleased
with the entertainment.

which were entire false: .Cigars sold

concealment. nor were the cigars sold

Mr.. Eldred only supplies the pulpit in

In the face of this contract, on Tuesday night
Mr.. @. kOrtrecht, IN his speech IN the seventh
ward, there wilfully misrepresented the facts
or exposed an ignorance which Is inexcusable
in man who seeks to enlighten public senti-

in his speech that the convicts on Presidents
Island were charged fifty EcentS a day for
board while they were sick, and were only al
lowed ten cents day in working out the fines
for which they were committed. Both these
assertion are untrue. The convicts are not
charged for board while sick, and they are
credited with twenty FIVE cents on their fines
for each days work. 1t has even been circu-
lated that convicts are charged with fifty cents
board on Sunday, when no labor Is

Van Brocklin had Just lett the store for the
beach on the other side of the river to take a
bath. They left a coal-oil lamp burning,
unaccountable cause.-The fire must nave
originated. So rapid was the Burning that
nothing could be saved, and their stock OF
goods and the substantial frame building,
the property of DIR. M'Murtry, were con-
sumed In an hour. Our citizens turned their
attention to saving the property on the east
side of Front street and the White river mill.
which was done by the unaba.ed exertions Of
our citizens, our colored population working
nobly. The two adjacent cotton sheds of
Campbell & Brother and Martin 4 Thomp-
son were entirely consumed, but happily no
cotton was On hand except two bales, which
were saved. This is another sad lesson to our
people that something should be done for the
protection of our property from fire. Messrs.
Peres & PERTH have the sympathy of our cIti-
zens for the total loss OF their stock of goods,
on which there was no insurance. We do
not know that there was any insurance on
DR.. NJ Murtry's, Campbell Il Brothers and
