BLAINE's SPEECH was intensely dis
union in its logical sequence. Is he
preparing his followers to demand new
plan of Union; or is he tired of Union
where Intelligence and civilization is al
lowed to sway ignorance and barbarism &?
Surely the white people of the South
cannot be expected to allow the unculti-
waited and ignorant negro to make the
laws. They could not do 1t, and none
know this better than Blaine. And having
tried the carpet-baggers with such sue
cess as disguised the whole country, now
the Southern white people are determin-
ed to govern themselves And it is to be
hoped they will be allowed to do so in
peace. Surely there is now more order
and good government in the South thar
there has been since the war. Then lei

THE CITY CoUNCIL should now turn
their attention to the streets and see what
saving can be effected by giving the work
of cleaning them out by contract. This
work was done in this way year ago at a
very great saving to the CRY. The streets
were then kept in good order, and We
believe they can be kept in good order
for the next year at rate that will
enable the city to save one-third the cost
that will be expended for the same pur.
pose if the work is not done by contract
If the Democrats can save as much on
contract for cleaning the streets as they
do by lighting the city, they will hav,
made a very creditable beginning towar,
securing economical government.

PRESENT YOUR OvN CLAIM.

The Chicago Tribune calls attention 10 a
letter recently written by the Commissioner
OF Pensions, TO correspondent in Massa-
chusetts which is OF interest TO ex-soldiers
and applicants for pensions. Many of tie
latter class, believing tha; tie services of a
pension-claim agent are necessary, pay large
fees on, of all proportion fer the work
done. The substance of the Commission
ers letter is TO the effect that the applicant
himself is the most competent person to
push his own claim. and can obtain the
necessary blanks from the Pension Office,
or. ii he needs assistance, any lawyer or
magistrate of his neighborhood is compe-
tent to draw up all the requisite papers. 1t
is not necessary TO suffer the e1actions Of
professional claim-sgen,s. 1t will evident
ly save time and money for claimants to

EIECTRsCrTy VS.. GAS,

The New York Herali is informed that
Mr.. Edison has successfully subdivided the
electric light and that the practical results
OF his invention will soon be introduced TO
the public. The inventor carefully re-
frains from exhibiting the light save in a
detached form. Those who have seen it re-
port that ii is much brighter and at
the same time softer than gas, while lis cost
Is not TO be one-third that Of coal gas, with
a prospect that with the early introduction
OF improved means of generating electricity
the expsnse can be still further reduced.
To light 1t, little spring is touched and
instantly the electricity is at work. The
light gives Out no hea and its amount can
he regulated as easily as that from gas.
To turn off the light, the spring has only
again to be touched. The Head says the
report in England Of the inventors success
has caused a panic in London gas stocks,
and now the gas stocks of New York have
greatly declined in value. 1t is highly
probable that within the next five wears
electricity will supercede gas-and possibly
petroleum also-in all the cities and larger
towns of the country. The fact that it is
much cheaper than gas, and that it is per-
fecty safe, since it cannot set fire TO articles

On Sabbath evening last, George Blircoe
who resides in Pawnee township, attended
church at Helper lie reached home. after
church, about 1890 o'clock. At the stable
door he dismounted and permitted his
horse to enter the stable, while he went to
the crib near by and got some corn to feed
his horse. He entered the stable With the
corn IN his arm, and had gone but a short
distance in when he received a terrible blow
on the left side OF his head, which rendered
him unconscious. He finally succeeded In
reaching the house, and reported that he
had been kicked by horse. His brother
examined the wound, and at once saw that
it had been made by something else other
than the hoOf of a horse. 1t was then dis
covered that his pants pockets were turned
inside out, also the inside pocket of
his coat, and that $50 was missing. The
blow evidently had been struck With fear
fnl force, and had been made with a slung
shot. DIR. Davis was at once called to at.
tend the wounded man, and pronounced
his injuries serious, but not necessarily
dangerous. The community il startled ov-
er the affair, and large number of friends
visited the wounded man on Monday morn
ing.
il is to be hoped that the miscreant who
dealt the foul blow and stole the money
will he brought to justice and made to feel
the extremity of the Law provided for all
who are determined not to make

All persons who are in the habit of car
r'ing large sums Of money about their per-

their possessions, for really no one knows
whom to trust in these latter degenerate

THE TRUTH ABOUTIT,

Gen. Sherman was recently interviewed
by representative Of the Philadelphia
Press, in regard to the reported family
difference" on account Of bis son who re-
Gently became Jesuit. The General says
the whole story is the sheerest nonsense.
Mrs. Sherman, he says, regarded her sons
course with disfavor, but neither urged
him to enter the church, nor discouraged
him. As for himself, he had planned to
make lawyer of Tom, and had tried to
bring him up under Protestant influences,
when his exceptionally strong religious ten
denotes began to crop out. He sent him to
Yale College, but all in vain. His chief
motive in going TO ST. Louis was to get his
son established as a lawyer, but having
failed in this the chief object of his remov-
al was thwarted, and he should return to
Washington.

BambO~ IL . 8iE Thing.

A telegram from Washington CONVEYS the
long expected intelligence that the Commits
sioner OF Agriculture-this mans name is
lie Duc-has ordered from Japan a large
number of bamboo shoots, which he intends
planting in this country, feeling convinced
that their culture here can be made a sue
cess." The country is not supplied with
any explanation about what he intends to
do with his bamboo after he has raised it,
but as bamboo is a big thing in Japan
there is no reason why il should not be 50
in the United States. 1t the culture of this
valuable staple can be made successful. it
will probably take the place OF the native
birch, which has disciplinary and other
virtues unsurpassed BY any soil production:
the bamboo Is al.o said to Be useful in
packing silkworm eggs. which lie Due ex-
poets to make leading production in this
county, But one thing now appears 10 re-
main for the Commissioner Of Agriculture
to do: he should import some csnary-bird
seed from somewhere-Jspan is his favor

tive soil cannot Be utilized in the raising OF

now. We shall all hope that Commis-

becauee there actually seems to
be brilliant future before him. Between
the cultivation Of ten and bamboo and
bon bons and such things he may yet sue

have reason to Be proud.

"Caucus," that word of uncertain etymol

with it, as it appears, the undesirable thi"g
itseif. The Marquis of Lorne, the other
night, in making a farewell speech to hi-
Inverary constituents, condemned in vigor-
ons terms "the caucus system" and declared
that every ore who valued independence
would fight against this reign OF repression
of thought, and the turning of members Of
Parliament into puppets" These have
never been in the habit Of acting so inde-
pendently as to require additional precau-
tions to make them true TO party ties. The
whippers-in have usually had no hard
work in keeping Wings, Tories, or Liberals
well together upon the occasion of any i'm

is not question of Tilden in 1880, for that

question Of Tilden in 1876, and of the odi-

recent revelations. This il the matter
shortly to be considered by conclave Of
leading Democrats, many of whom have
already arrived in Washington for the pur-
pose OF considering the proper course 10
pursue. 1t is said that their first business
will be 10 ascertain whether the cypher
kilograms printed in the New York 7ii6une
are genuine and the translaiions correct;
and then, after these points have been set
tied sfiirmatively, as they undoubtedly will
be, will come the question, What to Do
with Tilden. The feeling is reported to be
strongly IN favor of a formal. deliberate,
and authoritative disavowal and denuncia-
tion OF the man and his methods by the
Democratic party.
