Appointing Police JururS.

Appointing Police Jurors.
The Democrat Of last Saturday
SAYS that 'the bill 2utkorizing the
appointment Of police jurors by the
Governor, in lieu of their election by
the people as Ler, ,oeorc, has been
agreed upon and will, in due time,
pass through the fornalitics required
t. give it the force Of law" And the
Democra: congrstulxtes the agricul-
tural interests opcn this colsumma-
ton"
After giving the arguments On both
sides of this question their due weight
VIC cannot feel so much elated at this
consumstion as the Dem ocrat.
1t is true that, where the negro
element predominstes. very unwis,.
selections are generally made 10 elect
ing police jurors, wkich often works
great injury to the tax PAYERS OF those
parishes; but on the other hand sc
lind many objections to tkeir appoint
ment. which would prove as gnsstis-
factory in the parishes where the
white eleueat predominaies.
First, it is ir coneic, with the spiri,
of democracy or repub,icanism, which
in their true meaning are almost sy-
nomy nous. and is Z dangerous cd
croacbment upon the liberties Of the
people ; is one step towards the aboli-
ton Of the elective franchise.
Second, it is the establishing of
Executive patronage, which always
has ten opposed by tho democratic
patty.
Third. it exposes the local affairs Of
the parishes to the management of
rsrg politicians, deprives thea Of all
their local interests and turns them
over to the interests and management
Of the State administration.
Fourth aud last, it is dangerous
precendent. The democratic party
has not a lease of power in this or
any other State, even il there were
10 possible dangar Of a democratic
abuse of power, which is not even a
supposaole case, for no party is CON-
posed Of men tho are above and be-
yond the approach OF corrupting in
huences.
II the republican parry had placed
the appointing Of police jurors ia the
hands of the Governor every demo-
Graf in the State would have con-
de,nned the act and there is no con-
sistency or reason in condemning the
&C. Of one party aud approving the
same act when perforated by another.
If Kellogg wac Governor of this State.
how would the citizens of the parish
cs like to have bin appoint their po-
lice jurors?
Either the people are capable of
ciecting al! their officers or they are
a. liable ofelec,ing none and it is just
rs rcasonable-morc so-to argue that
they are incapable Of elcctinS men,
bers Of the General Assembly as that

better to have left the management of

England's Work in India.

In the last century, education in India
was a monopoly in the hands of the
priests,-a power which they employed
to subjugate the minds of the people.
Under British rule, education in India
has been taken entirely out of the hands
of the priests, and it has become the
great emancipation of the Indian races.
In ancient India a Brahmin was forbidden,
on pain of death, to teach the sacred
books to the masses. Under British rule,
the State schools offer instruction to
every one, and open the same careers to
all. In the last century the Hindus were
taught, from their earliest childhood,
that they must remain imprisoned for
life in the caste in which they were born
We have now 1000, 600 of boys and girls
receiving public instruction in India.
Under the British Government, these
1000, 900 of native children are learning
that every occupation and every profess
sion is open to every boy on the benches
of an Indian school. The rising genera
ton in India have been freed from su-
perstitious terrors; they have been led to
give up cruel practices; they have learned
to detest and despise their forefathers'
bloody rites. Widow-burning, infanti-
eide, hook-swinging self-muti1ation, and
human sacrifice-these are few. famil-
lar relics of the old bondage under which
the Indian intellect groaned and the In
dian heart bied. Great as has been the
material progress of India during the
past century, its emancipation from ig@
norance and priestcraft forms, to my
mind, far more splendid memorial of
British rule. Truly the people that
walked in darkness have seensa great

New York City and Its Population.

New York is almost the only American
city which does not wish to grow. The
census is next to a subject of indifference,
because the more people who inhabit this
narrow, limited area Of island the greater
is the individual cost of rent, food, the
ater tickets and church pews. Not one
citizen in three can tell you the last
known population OF New York, though
it was ,041 1886 by the State census of
1870 1t is now not less than I, 200, 600
within the municipal limits. Brooklyn,
in another county, has 550, ZOO, the
Westchester settlement to our north 100
600, and the cities of Newark, Jersey
City, Paterson and Richmond SOC, 600.
The metropolitan district contains 2,000,-
600 people.
We are also the funnel of New En-
gland and at the end of the tube of the
Hudson. There ar. 6,0O0 600 of men
who can do half days business in New
York City, get breakfast and sup at
home. Competition was distanced here
Sound, the Hudson, the Passaic and Rar-
itan all flow into New York Bay; the
British occupation of New York for seven
years would have ruined any other site,
as it ruined Newport in two.
In 1890 New York County had only
,OOOpeoplet to Albany 76, 600. Though
blockaded all the period of the war of
1872, the city emerged from it with 1OO,-
600 people and by 1880 had over 200, 900
and has doubled since 1850 New York

4 PLEA FOR THE DUnB ANZNALs

Ye call them dumb. and deem it well,
how er their bursting hearts may swell,
They have no voice their woes to tell,
As fabulists have dreamed.
They cannot cry, o Lord, how long
Wilt Thou, the patient Judge and strong.
Behold Thy creatures suffer wrong
Of those Thy blood redeemedr'
Yet are they silent? need they speech
His holy sympathles to reach,
Who by their lips could prophets teach.
And for their sakes would spare; -
When, wrestling with his own decree,
To save repentant Nineveh,
He found, to strengthen mercy's plea,
SO many cattle" there?
Have they no languagep Angels know,
Who take account of every blow;
And there are angel hearts below
On whom the Eternal Dove
HIS penteeostal gift hath poured.
That filed the garden of the Lord
When Natures voice was love!
o. blest are they the creatures bless!
And yet that wealth of tenderness,
In look, in gesture, in caress,
By which our hearts they touch.
Might we'll the thoughtful spirit grieve,
How little they from man receive,
To whom they give SO much!
They may be silent. as We say,
But woe to them who. day by day.
Unthinking for what boon they pray,
Repeat, Thy kingdom come"
They plead that mercy may be shown,
Find awful voices drown their own
Good Words.

very fine; but what on earth has it to
do with the Porter casep How does the
Porter case SO confuse tie notions
of virtue and vice that we need
prophet or a professor of ethics
to discriminate between them;
and how do we know that Cen
eral Grant is a particularly high author
ity on questions of abstract morals?
Furthermore, in what way is General
Grant to fix proper punishment, or
any punishment, on disloyalty, his func-
tions as President being simply to see
that the laws are executed? The fact
is that Mr.. Carpenter talked utter and
irredeemable- nonsense, and he was,
probably, aware of it himself.
Now comes forward Mr.. Hoar, and
drivels as idiotically over the Kellogg
case as Mr.. Carpenter over the Porter
case. To turn Kellogg out of the Sem
ate would be crime similar to the
crime of the s.rebellion;'' the 'scrime''
of trying to s'steal the State Govern
ment of Maine," and .scrime" of over
throwing Southern State Governments.
A crime is an offense against law, de-
fined by law and punishable by law.
An ethical philosopher might nationally
call it a crime, as he calls all wars crime;
but then Mr.. Hoar is not an ethical
philosopher. He is simply very silly
little Republican politician. But, what
has this to do with the Kellogg caseP
!, If the majority of the Senate eject Mr..
Kellogg, it viii be because they think
that he has not shadow of right to
the place which he occuI les. Mr.. Eoar
says it will be because they are opposed
TO Mr.. Kellogg politically. But when
did Republicans consider it a crime to
turn man oat of Congress because. he
was a Democrati The fact is, although
parties always try to find some reasona-
BILE ground for their decisions in
these cases, nine times in ten
litical grounds. The Republicans
kellogg was 4 Republican. They did
not make any other pretense. They
did not argue the question, except from
that point of view. They refused to
take any testimony. They knew. that
the so-called Legislature which was al
legged to have elected him had vanished,
and that the chimerical Government
which he was asserted to represent had
no existence They were probably well
satisfied, also, that Kellogg had bought
his election. But they did not. permit
testimony to be taken on any of these
points. They simply resolved Kellogg
in because they had the majority and
they wanted his vote. The Democrats,
after elaborate inquiry, find that he has
no constituents; that the Government
by which he was chosen never had any
valid existence; that it was mere cre-
alton of a set of conspiring political
swindlers, and that his alleged election
was obtained by the usual Republican
process of purchase. Finding these
things established by testimony, they
simply resolve Mr.. Kellogg out, as it is
their right and their duty to do; where
at Mr. Hoar gets into arage, and makes
of himself spectacle for gods and men.
