IT is just now an even question,
whether the Independent bantling
really "died aborDing," or did the
skilfful wetnurses in attendance
succeed in galvanizing a faint spark
of vitality into its little bodyf If
the latter, the poor little picka-
ninny is to be pitied, for all the
physic known to it's sponsors cans
not save it from expiring with cramp

of November. Well, snch q termi-
nation of its brief existence would
be fitting-since its forbears are
mainly troubled with too much

TIE independent concern iu this
county more clearly illustrates the
one-man power than anything that
ne ever saw or read Of in so-called
free country. The Autocrat rules
with rod of from and will not per-
init his subordinates to exercise
even o seml,lance of authority. The
brains of the thing ought to rule,
how ever, and If they thus admit
that they have only one man of
brains, it's not our affair. But the
charge Of usurpation against tine
Democratic Conservative Executive
Committee, comes with bad grlce
from an autocracy.

Coons and Beavers.

Jere HARRISON, a very intelligent
colored man, who was once a Con-
gresham from Alabama, writes to
a Baltimore PAPER:
l am opposed to my race leaving
the South. 1t is the proper place
for cOlored man. 1t is the land
of his nativity, and the mild climate
of the South IS especially adapted
to his present impoverished and
ignorant condition. Our race in
the South are poor, and haven't the
money to buy sufficient clothing
and fuel to protect them against the
cold and rigorous cl mate of the
Northwest. The negro will not
thrive in country where there is
no woods or timber. In the South
there il plenty of timber and fuel.
A colOred man can go into the
woods, cut down IA few poles, notch
him mp a long cabin, daub the
cracks with mud, and in a week he
is as comfortable as - beaver.

OuR DEAD PREsIDEsrs.-A review of
the lives of the different Presidents of
the United States is productive of very
interesting results. For instance, three
of them died on the Fourth of July.
John Adams and jefferson died on the
country's birthday, July 4, 1926, and
Monroe died on the 4th of July, 1881.
Madison died on the 18th of June, 1895,
and his friends were confident, that, he
too, would live until July 4th. If he
had, then the second, third, fourth and
fifth Presidents would have died on In
dependence day. Taylor and Andrew
Johnson both died in July. Every fourth
President until Mr.. Hayes time, was an
old bachelor. Van Buren, did not draw
any of his salary until his term expired,
when he drew it out in gold, 'tall in a
heap" Tyler died poor, having gone
into the rebellion, and was one of the
Confederate Commissioners at Montgom-
cry. John Quincy Adams lived the long
est; he was so years old when he died.

Alarm Telegraph wires.

At about 0 o'clock this evening it be-
came known at the police and fire alarm
headquarters that quite general cutting
off of alarm wires had been accomplished.
Notice was al once sent to all engine
honses, and the police watch on duty util-
lied as fire patrol and every precantion
taken to ensure the safety of the city un-
til such time as repairs can be affected.
When another watch of the police force
reports at midnight, both watches will
probably be put on until morning The
damage SO far as ascertained is confined to
that portion of the city north of Market
street. The authorities are very reticent
and are endeavoring TO keep the matter
quiet and It is difficult to ascertain to
what exient connections have been cut.
The police decline 10 advance any theory
as to the motives of the preparation,
but express confidence that the precau-
tions they have taken will Illustrate the
plans for mischief ii any is intended.
