A CORRUPT POLITICAL BARGAIN.
View it from any standpoint We ma,
the whole defense set up by JEWELL and
GARFIELD to the charge OF writing the
Chinese letter, Including the proceed
irgs in court; the effort OF GARFIELD to
avoid direct denial under his own
hand; the effort OF JEwELL to brighten or
force a Reputation OF the letter from the
publishers of Truth; and finally the ccr-
rupt and dss,srdly agreement by which
JkwELL was to obtain from GARFIELD u
recognition" OF DIrrENHoEFEg's services
in case he procured from Truth q
retraction; constitutes case OF
the most disgraceful poll.

There is scarcely 4 doubt that ii the

and their candidate from political life.

TIE workingmen OF California seem to
understand how unimportaut feature
in the Chinese question the GARFIELD
letter to II. L NOISY Is at best. 1t is a
small matter whether he wrote that let

ments it expresses. He has designated
them as brutal and thus passed sentence

effort to restrict Chinese immigration,
but he has committed himself in Ian

not write that letter, it at least says
nothing that he does not think snd has
not said time and again.

WnY should the Republican organs
urge so iran,icsliy that GARriELD's Chi
nese cheap labor letter is forgery
Why should Chairman JEWELL force his
candidate to repudiate the letter? Why
should all this legal tlummery, including
the arrest and trial OF innocent men on
an absurd charge, be indulged in? It's
simply for the reason that GARFIELD
cannot be elected upon the principles
which he and his party have held and
still hold, and it has become necessary
to deny them; to repudiate acts and SER
timents alike.

The Chinaman does not bring his wife
10 this country. They sleep on shelves
and subsist on three cents worth OF rice
a day. They have thus by competition
with the American lsborer on the Pa
cific Coast, reduced the latter to begyary
and rags. American workingmen are
not mere human animals; they are men.
Their wives and children are as dear TO
them as il they were IASDKRBrLrs or
AsroRs. During the past six years, suf-
fering, sickness and death have been IA
milisr to the white workingmen of Cali
fornia, and there is no hope OF a brighter
future, unless the party pledged to their
relief is installed in power. The work
ingmsn who to-day turns deaf ear to
this call Of his brothers, must be the
victim Of . blind patty prejudice and
passion.

1T is rather strange that General GAR

JUST as the Southern Presbyterian is
taking us to task for having remarked
that the laws against homicide are not
sufficiently enforced in the South, we OBJ
serve that the papers of the State in
which the Southern Presbyterian is pub
lished are uniting in cry for town ac-
ton against the practice Of carrying con-
cealed weapons See the item published
elsewhere headed War on Pistols" One
Of the Judges Of the State (Judge Mackey)
uses very strong language, and says that
in consequence Of this practice the State
" had become red with the blood of her
sons and that on all sides CLEAN the
glittering bowie-knife and loaded pistol. "
We hope this picture is overdrawn
and in any case feel well assured Of one
thing that it would be very unjust to
represent deeds Of violence as more com
mon in South Carolina than in many
other States.
We think the Southern Presbyterian
will at once, in view Of these facts, re-
cognize the injustice Of its comments on
the paragraph in the CENTRAL PREsBY.

South Carolina as one Of the most law.

CAN T FIND TT.

1t is very well known that the Evolu-
tionists have been dreadfully put out be-
cause they cannot find the missing link
between man and the monkey. All the
caves of Europe have been searched in
vain, and number in Asia and America
but nothing could be found. The Ter
tiary beds of Europe, India, America, and
elsewhere. also failed to produce the
missing link" It was then suggested
by Lyell and others that tropical Africa
and the islands of Borneo and Sumatra,
which are the special habitat of the anthro-
pomorphous apes, would probably yield
something, and the expectation was held
out thatwe should yet learn the great secret
how man was developed. Carrying out this
hint, some enthusiastic scientists a year
or so ago, secured fund for the explora-
ton of the caves Of Borneo, and the work
has since been carried on by experts.
The result of their explorations is given
IN the following extract from recent
number of Nature:
"CAvE RESEARCHES IN BoRNEo.-The general
result of the exploration may be summed up as
follows The existence of ossiferous caves in Bor-
neo has been proved and at the same time the
existence of man in the island with the fauna,
whose remains are entombed in these caves.
But both from the recent nature of this fauna,
and from the fact that the race of men whose re-
mains are associated with it had already reached
an advanced stage of civilization, the discovery
has in no way aided the solution of those prob
lens for the unraveling of which it was origi-
nally promoted. No light has been thrown on
the origin of the human rate-the history of the
development of the fauna characterizing the
Indo Malayan subregion has not been advanced
nor, virtually, has any evidence been obtained
toward showing what race of men inhabited
Borneo previously to the immigration of the va
riOus tribes of Malayan stock which now people
the island. Furthermore, the presumption that
the northwe portion of Borneo has too recently
emerged above the waters of the sea to render
it probable that future discoveries will be made
of cave deposits of greatly higher antiquity
than those already examined, has been strength
ened. Under these circumstances it seems advis-
able that cavern research in North West Borneo
should now be left to private enterprise and
that no further expense should be hazarded, at
any rate until the higher parts of the Island in
the north east may be conveniently examined"

pulpit is strong only as it represents the
best moral sentiment of the public; and
in Unfortunately denouncing the stage
it sets itself against the best and most in
telligent sentiment We are only
sorry that the representation of the pull
pit was not broader one. Were there
no clergymen out of the Episcopalian and
Unitarian denominations that would have
been glad to add their words of praise
and encouragement to the man who is
not only by far the ablest interpreter Of
Shakespeare, etc?"
The Christian Union says the pulpit is
strong only as it represents the best NOR
al sentiment of the community Well,
the best moral sentimental Ancient Rome
was represented by Cicero, Horace, Pliny,
Seneca, Tacitus, Quintilian, etc., and they
attended the spectacles of the circus and

cient Rome to have given breakfast to
some. distinguished Gladiator on the
ground that he was patronized by the
best moral sentiment of the capital?
One of the scenes which Clement or
Tertullian might have had the pleasure
of seeing at the Roman theatre, if they
had anticipated the example of the Rev.
Morgan Dix, was that which was SO ex-
ceedingly popular in Rome during the
