Ali Goes well.

The Florida revelations, like the
confession of Mrs. Tilton, add little
to the force of the case against the
Republicans. They only tighten
up the rascality and present its
points afresh. That the Democrats
were basely cheated has never been
doubted bys discerHings people.
1t was not in the books to inau-
gurate Tilden and Hendricks
There was an organized conspiracy
bent on resisting it and having the
power to resist it. Armed revoiu-
tiOn alone could not set itself
against this conspiracy; and armed
revolution would have been a blup-
der and a crime. The same gener-
alton never engages twice in civil
war. Besides, the Democrats were
practically helpless. The only
Northern Legislature we had was
the little State of Connecticut, that
of New Jersey afterward turning
out to be such by scratch. Our
counsels were divided. We could
not set a squadron in. the field.
Grant was in the White House
waiting, above all things, a row.
He was sure to profit by a dis
turbance, for he had both the tools
and the resources to aid HIM. The
South was sufficiently united, but
the first gun for Tilden would have
been the signal for q North, sub
stantially united, that, too, ON the
old issue; the South would have
been consigned to the old ruts,
and, in ninety days, republicanism
in the United States would have
been stamped out under the heels
of military usurpation.
Unless majority of Northern
States had gone for Mr.. Tilden, it
was not possible to seat him. His
own plan of patient, passive, legal
procedure, looking to an electoral
revolution during the succeeding
four years, was best. We shall
never be rid of the bloody-shirt
until the Republican party goes out
of power, and 1t Will never go out
of power as long as it can make the
South a pretext for usurpation.
Therefore the Democratic party can
never come into power except under
great restraints. Democratic mar
gins are, and always have been,
very scant. When they seemed to
be largest they disappeared alto
gether.
1t is not worth our while TO quar-
rel over these things. If we do, we
may as well go to pieces at once,
becoming, instead of an organized
body, scattered confederation OF
guerrillas. There is but one issue
in American politics. That is the
Electoral Conspiracy. These Flor
ida revelations are but link in the
general chain. That the present
Democratic House seems to want TO
dodge the question implies nothing.
The last Democratic House was
weak enough. This one is pussil-
Luminous. But destiny is more
than Congressman, and it cannot be
thwarted by time-serving politi-
clans. EventsS roll on, and the
whirligig of truth and justice will
in due season bring in his own re.

Congressman Money, of Missis-
sippi, has made very effective re-
ply to the demagogue cry of
the Republicans, ard especially-the
New York organ of Jay Gould,
about rebel claims, which they have
estimated at one to two hundred
millions of dollars. Mr.. Money
shows that the bills introduced by
Northern men for the benefit of the
Northern people during the Forty
fifth Congress, foot up nearly six
teen hundred millions of dollars.
He also shows that the money ex-
pended in the North for custom
houses, forts, railroads, etc, since
1889, amounts to two hundred and
twenty seven million dollars, as
against seventy one millions ex-
pended for the South. 1t may be
added that the total amounts actu-
ally appropriated by the last Demo
cratic House for Southern claims
are only two or three millions, and
are less than a Republican House
appropriated for the same purpose,
the money in both cases to be paid
out not to ex-Confederate claimants,
but to the so-called loyal men.
Such is the basis of the last Radical
cry, on which they propose to run
the campaign for Congress.

MY LITTLE COMMENTATOR.

George, my seven-year-old,
Was reading, one day, to me,
That sweetest of stories ever told,
AS he stood beside my knee
Tie story ofJacob's sons,
Of Joseph, his fathers Joy,
And all of the cruel, wicked ones,
And the motherless, youngest boy.
As he threaded the touching tale
His wrath arose, and he said:
"If had been there at Joseph's sale,
I'd a. punched in Reuben s hesdP'
His face. as it grew half dim
With the pathos of the tale,
Glanced on, and he shouted, "Good tor him
Simeon is going to Jail !"
When he read how they found the cup
In Benjamin's sack, his fair
Face flushed, and he doubled his fists up,
'The sneaks, they had hid it therer
And when they confessed their sin,
Weeping, he sneered, "A-heml
wonder If Joseph was taken in
By crocodile tears like them !"
When he read of the long array
Of wagons to Jacob sent,
OF the counsel to "fall not ont by the way,
asked him what that meant.
saw in his critic eye,
A filial attempt to force
Down bit of disdain at the question: "Why
Fall out of the waRons-of coursem

her gushing waters, sparkling, laugh
ing, leaping from every hill and
and from every valley; fit for the
gods to drink Her grand old
trees of thousand years with their
strong hold upon the human soul,
still more powerful upon the feel
ings; stretching their broad limbs
outward and upward, whispering to
the blue vault, anthems of praise
for Him who fashioned them Ten

Echo answers back, from her thous-
and hills and wales, "my own, my
native land"
AS my last letter is now coming
to close, perhaps a word of expla
nation will not be amiss:
/ have not written these letters
with the presumption that ], with
my puny powers could interest the
readers of the CITIZEN, or give them
information, but rather forced by
that dreadful scourge that afflicts
so many well-meaning dunces-a
mania for scri66Isng. Therefore,
pray the critics to be merciful in
their laceration.
And if have bored the editor
numerically, occupying the col
umns of the paper to the exclusion
of better, more desirable and sub
stantial matter, saying that which
perhaps l should not, (however
through no ill-will or thrust at any
particular person) and offending
with my crude sayings those who
have sought the kernel, finding only
chaff as they followed me in my
wild ramblings; to such / will say
that am sorry. 1t was not, to use
legal phrase, done with malice
aforethought.
And if you have laughed and de-
rided me as your eye followed me,
over curiously worded sentences,
and such words as spinks, for
sphinx, and mosquito, for mesquite;
remember that L am not wholly to
blame. That the types must bear
a part of the burdens, that some
times strike the author as unendura-
BILE.
With these apologies 1 make my
bow and pass from the public stage.

Barbee and his lovely and afflicted
wife have the heartfelt sympathies
of my people. don't know which
is worth the most to Columbia dis

trations that we would be blessed
with if his dear wife were well, or
the anxiety of his pent-up heart
and the prayers of his deeply en-
listed soul while denied the prlvi-
lege for which his heart burns. If
any one should wonder why Paul
turned loose upon Agrippa such an
overwhelming burst of logic and ell
oquence, let them remember that
this gospel had been burning like
fire in his bones for two years, and
that was his first opportunity to
preach it.

of the country. A short step has
been taken in this direction by the
appropriation for rivers and har-
bors. The Mississippi river, with
its leading affiuents, the Missouri,
Ohio, Illinois and other navieable
streams, forms the natural CONNER
cial outlet TO the Great Valley, and
even the modest concession of two
or three millions to the waterways
of the West will not only give work
to some thousands of idle hands.
but do partial Justice to the great
producing region of the Continent.
WANTS OF THE SOUTHWEST.
But the great Southwest, with its
incalculable wealth, both agric ul-
'tural and mineral, is almost desti-
tute of both rivers and railroads.
Northern Texas and Southern New
Mexico and Arizona, offer the most
inviting field to both miners and
farmers, but settlers cannot 90
there at present because there is no
outlet to the Mississippi or the Pa
cific coast. The building of Pa
cific railway on the 32d parallel
would do more than anything else
to vitalize languishing Industries
and restore general prosperity, but
the railroad monopolists OF the 42d
parallel seem bent upon a single
purpose at present, and that is TO
prevent the construction of an open
highway on that line that should be
free from the curse of monopoly and
eXtortion which, as the policy Of
the upper line, have robbed the gov
ernment and people of more than a
hundred millions since the opening
of the Union and Central Pacific.
Congress has rebuked the rapacity
of this Pacific combination by pass
ing a funding bill to force these
roads to pay back some of their i'll
gotten plunder; and now the grand
move of the Central Southern Pa
cific especially is to prevent the
building of competing line on the
32d parallel. All other methods of
obstruction having failed before
Congressional Committees, they
have now combined with the Atchi
son Topeka and Santa Fe railroad
company to construct a road on the
Both parallel, and thus perpetuate
the present monopoly. AS such a
road would be strictly a Northern
institution, without benefit and with
immense damage to the whole
South and Southwest, it remains TO
be seen whether the representatives
of these vast and much neglected
districts will vote against the Texas
and Pacific, the only measure that
can do justice TO them and bring
blessings to the whole country.

Tne Antecedents of Disease.

Among the antecedents of disease are
inertness in the circulation ofthe blood,
an unnaturally attenuated condition of
the physique, indicating that the life
current is deficient in nutritive proper
ties, wan, haggard look, inability to
digest the food, loss of appetite, sleep
and strength, and a sensation of unnat-
ural languor. All these may be regard
ed as among the indicia of approaching
disease, which will eventually attack
the system and overwhelm it, if it is not
built up and fortified in advance. In
