POLITICAL POINTS.

Globe Democrat: AS near as we can
make out, the Democrats have won n
Greenback victory in Maine.
We see by the Colorado Springs Daily
Gazette that Governor St. John made q
telling Republican speech there on the
11th inst.
Isn't it refreshing, after last years OPP
erations, for the Democratic national
committee TO issue Il ''wangdoodle" adj
dress about corrupt returns from Maine.
Tue Democratic national committee
rolls up its pure eyes and gives it up
with IL whine. Poor, meek, prosecuted
Democrats. They ought To go now and
kill Niger.
Wade Hampton's 'dovn reaching Tor
the Union" figure of speech must have
been suggested by seeing South Caro-
lima counter put his arm IN tc the elbow
into a ballot-box and take it out with his
fist full of Republican votes.
Can anybody tell why Hancock should
congratulate Plaisted, and why the Dem
ocrats should rejoice so much over
Maine? Plaisted was not Democrat
and there is no Democratic victory in
Maine. The Democrats hardly got q
smell, and yet to hear them howl ono
would think the election great Demo
cratic triumph.
Lyman Trumbull can hardly enjoy
the attention he is receiving. The Hart
ford Evening Post notices him in this
way; "The only prominent salary
grabber who accepted the steal and ha:
the face now to charge the Republicans
with official misconduct is Lyman Trum
bull, the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Illinois"
The electoral vote of Maine is just a
sure TO be cast for Garfield as the day o
election is to come. Mark that. A
presidential contest is entirely adifferen
thing from a local personal squabble
and the people of Maine are no NOR
anxious to put the national finances an
national interests in Jeopardy again tina
the peoDle of the nurHh generally.

VANDERBILTIANA.
From the Ithiea Journa

Some one has made q very curious
calculation of what Mr.. Vanderbilt could
do with his money. William II. Van.
derbilt's income from his investments
IN $51 ,00O, 600 four per cent. government
bonds is represented at 5000 daily
which is 3206-25 per hour, $3.47 PEI
minute, or over five cents per second
Assuming that he Is paid by the second
he cannot possibly spend his money, Al
he could not select his purchases and lay
down the pieces fast enough. He
could not throw it away; TO pick up
cast, recover, pick up and cast again
would take him two seconds, and II
he worked all through the TWEEN
ty-four hours without rest, he
could only dispose of one-hali
his income. By living economically
saving up for four years hecpuld, by plac
ing his five cent pieces side by side,
make nickle belt around the earth, or
by converting his savings into one cent
pieces and mounting them in q pile he
would, in twenty years, erect road t1
the moon, and have $500 to invest when
he got there. Should his amusement
take q charitable twist, he could, out Of
woman and child in the United States
twenty cents. and have money left over
Other vast possibilities occur to the
glowing fancy OF the calculator. In one
day he could go TO 5000 different cir
cuses, eat 10000 pints Of peanuts, drink
5000 glasses of lemonade, and have
money left TO get his boots blacked. he
can olford TO have SOC, 0c0 shirts washed
in one day, and on the day OF his death
bis income will buy ten first class fu.

We were told Friday that e. V. Esk-
ridge had n petition in circulation beg
ging people to sign il, asking him TO be
candidate for representative. We were
aware that he had been ut work for
year trimming" and "squirming'' for the
place, and that when he announced him
self as such good Republican at the
Garfield ratification meeting some weeks
ago, he would bolt the Republican nom-
ination in his frantic desire for Office.
The Republicans have nominated good
man for the place in James Miles. He
has been citizen of Pike township for
fifteen or eighteen years, is honest, up
right and intelligent, and man who
the people can safely honor with their
suffrages. Pike township has always
been the true friend Of the interests OF
Emporia. She has been districted with
us for many years, and has
had the representative but once. we be,
lieve, in all this time. Her twenty dele.
gates in the late convention unanimous
ly asked for the nomination of Mr.. Miles
one of the best men in the county, and
he was nominated fairly and honestly
There is no reason why the Republican
voters of the S2d district should bolt the
nominee of their party to accommodate
Eskridge's ambition for Office. Let III
determine to give our neighbors square
and tair deal and treat them as they de
serve 10 be treated at our hands. lie
Republicans decide at once TO put stoT
to any attempts TO beat any portion o
the Republican ticket, especially wheI
there Is no better reason for doing $,
than is offered in this case.

The news from Maine Is nothing like
so interesting to Democrats as it was the
fore part of last week.
Scion Chase has concluded to hold on
to his steers until the official result is
made known in Maine.
It is very evident that the man who
failed to make both ends meet, was
never struck in the pit of the stomach
by a hot base ball.
The new Vermont senate will have
only one Democrat He will go into
caucus occasionally and pull his own
hair, just to keep up party traditions.

ouRAY'S EuLoGY.

from the Denver III pune, August y.
ouray was good man and a great
Indian. No chef ever lived who COM
bined the attributes of the civilized man
the forest. He added robust frame, q
kean eye, sinewy arm, q superior cum
ming and sharp perception to a sound
judgment, firm will and a disposition
TO do right Awarrior in his earlier
days, he became in mature life lover of
peace, an agrarian, a philosopher.
Once drifted into this life he became a
statesman and dipomat. The assault of
civilization upon the mountain
bulwalk of sayagery from Ouray in the
prime of manhood. Though unused to
the ways of the great world outside of
the Sierra Madres, ignorant of the exist
ence OF the Americans, except as intro
duced to them by the Mexicans unaware
of the extent of the great land to the east
ward untau't as to the story of Columbus,
of Cabot and of Pocahontas, he was yet
prepared to meet and understand the
new people TO whom he was introduced.
This indicated that there was spark
of humanity in the bosom of Ouray
which Is not possessed by the commons
lily or his race. The first impulse most
of them is to murder and plumber and
resist all inroads. Ouray discovered
that the invaders might become agreeab-
le neighbors and saw the possibility of
learning from them them the arts of life
and happiness. History records no in
stance from the very beginning in which
he has not treated the whites with civili-
ty and hospitality, and the life which he
adopted was in many respects that of his
Caucasian brother. He lived In house,
cultivated a farm and connubially be
came monogamist. He became &C.
quainted with the prominent white men,
and though he may have used this &C.
Quintance to advance his private aims
he also made it useful in promoting the
interest of his people.
Up to the present time Ouray's ser
| vices have been indispensable to the
| government in conducting any negotia-
| lions with the Ute Indians. It has
proved quite impossible to obtain ces-
sions of land or the surrender Of prison
ers without invoking his aid, and il
must also be said that when his services
have once been enlisted there has been
no failure, He has proved capable OF
controlling the Indians in their national
| dealings with the whites, and, at the
same time, it must be said to
his credit that he has never failed
to do what lay in his power to do for his
people. He obtained the best possible
prices for them for all lands, secured the
most liberal terms to them in the admin
istration of the laws and screened them
to the utmost extent when they were
sought for by the authorities. On the
other hand he stood between the white;
and danger of Indian attacks, and did al
in his power TO prevent collisions of am
bushes. This was certainly the part o.
a just and humane mediator, of level
of Deace and of his DeOnie All homo
to Ouray In him the Great Uncompah
gre has fallen. He was the head of hi
tribe, the chief of his race
His life was gentle; and the elements
So mixed to him that nature might stand III
And say to all the world, This is man.

JERusALEM As A PLACE OF RESI-
From the St. james Gazette.

GEOW bA1C ~ O8LuCo 00LCttC
Jerusalem seems TO be growing in ia.
vor as a place of residence for foreigners
who find their native countries uncom
Portable. The foreign Jewish popula
ton has, according to Consul Moore in
creased considerably of late years
The community is now estimated at 10,
600 including native Jews against 10,
600 in 1878. The desire to avoid com
pulsory military service now enforced in
most European countries, and the right
of holding real property in Turkey, cor
ced TO foreign subjects by the Protocol
of 1868, probably account for the In
creased immigration. The German col
ony at Jerusalem now numbers nearly
400 persons; that at Jaffa about 800
There is third German settlement a
Caiffa Of about equal numbers with thG
last mentioned. The settlers are me
chanics, artidcers, carriers and agricul
turists, and are prosperous.
The chief industries remain what they
were-the manufacture of oils, soap, and
articles in olive wood and mother-oE
pearl, the production of the latter arti
eles has greatly increased, as the sale il
no longer confined to visitors and pii
grims. large quantities being imported
TO Europe and America There are nc

but to work these to an advantage secur

are indispensable. No public works
