Imperialism vs.. the People.

From the New York Star tdem.)
The year 1879 has been one of the
most prosperous in our history. Prodigal
nature has made up for the deficiencies
OF man. Crops never before equaled, q
vast increase OF expectations over i'm.
portations, enforced idleness made hap.
by re-employment--these are some of
the blessings which we have to be
thankful for as a people.
The politicians of the Republican par.
ty are striving to turn to their own ac.
count these lavish favors of Providence.
They have had as much TO do with
them as with the discovery of the plan
ct Georgium Sidus. If party whose
cornerstone is sectional hate can work
out any benefcent popular results, all
these lessons of history have been mis-
understood, and must be learned over
again. The people know that they are
prosperous in spite of sectional agita.
tors.
But we cannot always count on the
bounty of nature. Men must deserve
good fortune if they would enjoy it as
meritorious reward. The year opened
to-day will, before it is gone, test the
fidelity of the American people in a
manner which every citizen in the land
will understand, and the test will be
one which no freeman will avade or put
away from casuistry or plausible pretexts
for self deception. Imperialism looms
up out of the dead year as the ominous
and gaunt figure which threatens the
future of the country. We have faith
in the people that they will exercise

Giants Whose Ancestors are

The Rev. Stephen Bowers notes in
the Kansas City Review Of Science, the
opening OF an interesting mound in
Brush Creek Township, Ohio. The
mound was opened by the Historical
Society Of the township. under the i'm
mediate supervision of DR.. J. F. Ever
hart, OF GAINESVILLE. 1t measured sixty
four by thirtyfve feet at the summit,
gradually sloping in every direction,
and was eight feet in height. There
was found in it a sort of clay coffin in
cluding the skeleton of woman meas
uring eight feet in length. Within this
WAS also found the skeleton of a child
about three and q half feet in length.
and FIJI image that crumbled when ex-
posed to the atmospere. In another
grave was found the skeleton of man
and woman, the former measuring nine
and the latter eight feet in length. In
a third grave occurred two other skele-
tons, male and female, measuring res
pectively nine feet four inches and
eight. Seven other skeletons. were
found in ths mound, the smallest of
which measured eight feet, while others
reached the enormous length of ten
feet. They were buried singly, or each
in seperate graves. Resting against
one OF the collins was an engraved stone
tablet tnow in Cincinnati,) from the
characters on which DR., Everhart and
Mr.. Howers are lad TO conclude that
this giant race were sun worslippers.

TEle Solid South.
SOLID AGAINST BRIBERY, CORRUPTION
AND WIIISKEY RINGS,

Gen. Chalmers, OF Miss, at Yonkers, n VI
More than all, Hancock represents a
party which knows no sectional lines.
Garfield represents party born Of sec
tional agitation, nurtured in sectional
hate, and which to-day provokes a solid
Democratic South, in the hope that it
may orgaizc q solid Republican North.
They tell You the government is in
danger from Il solid South and that a
strong government is necessary to
suppress Southern violence. | tell you,
my fellow citizens, that strong gov
ernment means weak people, and a
weak people, willing to submit to
strong government, means the end of
the Republic and the beginning of des-
potism. If the South were solid for
any evil purpose it might be well to
clamor, but it is not. She is solid in
her prayers for peace and prosperity.
She is solid for honesty, economy, and
good government. She is solid for the
old flag and Il gallant Union soldier
who bore it in triumph on the field.
She is solid against bribery, corruption,
whiskey rings, aud fraudulent con-
tracts. In short, she is solid for the
Democracy and against the Republican
party.
"But came here to ask you what it
is You fear from the South, and why it
is you refuse to trust the Democratic
party on account of it's Southern mem
bers? You did not fear the South
when in arms. You cannot fear any hos
tile invasion from her now when she has
| surrendered her guns. You cannot
fear restoration CT slavery nor anv
claim Of payment for slaves, for those
things are expressly prohibited ip the
amendments to the constitution of the
United States. which have been ratified
| by all our States.
"The cry that we will banllrupt the
government with Southern war claims
is equally absurd. None can he Maid

loyal men, and the idea that the Con.
! federate Brigadiers should bankrunt
| the government and impeycrish them.

to Southern Union men who they hated
as much as the copper-heais were hated

Of excitement yesterday by report OF 1t
dent few miles south Of town. Last
Monday morning two friends, VIM.
Reed and I. +. MOOorc, started to the

turned Thursday, when one. of their
horses was found loose in the woods.
The eighborhoOd was thoroughly
aroused and extensive search was in
stitnted. BY following the back track
of the horse through its lately meandered
course for some hours they came upon
two hunters, Headly White and one
Moon, and the object Of the excitement
explained, wIereupon White exclaimed
sadly: 81 see through it all, | have
committed a horrible deed un!lnowing-
ly,n and at once led the crowd to the
spot where a heart-rendinS scene pre-
sented itself. Before them at the foot
of a tree. lay the dead and swollen
bodies OF their friends with their faces
and heads perforated with buckshot,
and their dog lying dead by their sides.
And one load had done this awful
work and that fired by an innocent
party.

day night he and Moon were, fire hunt

eyes and fired, and heard Il dog yell.
