By way of explanation of Mr.. Gar
fields practical refusal 10 recognize the
colored Southern Republicans in distri-
buting the "spoils," the Republican
organs have adopted the policy of at
lacking the personal character of the
cOlored delegates who lately visited
Mentor. Hon. r. B. Elliott, of South
Carolina, the spokesman of the delega-
ton, has heretofore been the subject of
extended and often enthusiastic com.
mendation by the Republican press.
Now, however, the New York Times
rep calls him that notorious negro"
whose chief prominence has been gained
''in connection with corrupt politics and
disreputable transactions" Not content
with even such severe denunciation of
Elliott, the times proceeds to call him
ga selfish and slippery trickster." The
Republican party is very anxious that the
colored mans right to vote shall be pro-
tected-provided he votes the Rspubll-
can ticket, but when he also claims the
right of holding Office, it becomes a very
different matter.

The Northern newspapers have vilified
the South until every Southern man has
been made TO feel that the North has no
interest in him outside the trade which
he contributes. He is slandered on every
occasion. He is called an outlaw, and the
Northern Christian sanctions the asser-
ton in his prayer. OF course, politics,
as a rule, have little to do with trade.
but there have been cases where political
obloquy has had much to do with the
simple matter of shipments. The COM
pletion of the Little Rock, Mississippi
River and Texas Railway will drive cot
ton directly to New Orleans, and several
other roads now in course of cOnstruc-
ton tend in the same direction. After a
while the North will realize her mistake

Perhaps the most fitting comment upon
the Republican polity of embittering
the two sections against each other, is
the following extract from the Farewell
Address of George Washington: zone
of the expedients of party to acquire influ-

represent the opinions and aims of other
districts. You cannot shield yourselves
too much against the jealousies and

Taxation and Education in Missouri

The State taxes in Missouri are 40
cents on the 800. One half, or 90 cents,
is for general expenses; the other half is
for paying interest on the debt, and the
debt itself, as it matures-and for no
other purpose. These taxes are found
ample for the purposes, and are the only
State taxes levied on property. Their
proceeds constitute, together with GER
tain licenses. the entire revenue. The
free educational system of the State is
steadily growing in extent and efficiency,
and IS at this time in a better condition
than it ever was before The number Of
children of school ages to 81 years
increased from 676, 153 in 1877 to 1885,
asa in 1880, and the total funds held in
trust for school purposes in the State
amount to $3.50. 805; and in addition to
the annual interest on these funds there
are district taxes levied in nearly every
county in the State for the support of
the schools. The colored children of the
State share in the general benefits OF free
education, and the Lincoln Institute
at the State capital, under the manage
ment of we'll qualified colored teachers,
is maintained for the education of col
ored youth in the higher branches of
learning.

A Birmingham clockmaker recently
took an English detective into his conf
dence. He stated that in April, 1879,
he was in London on business, and in a
restaurant in Cheapside met with two
strangers, with whom he entered into
conversation. One of the men was a
Russian and the other German. The
men produced some rough designs. On
announcing his readiness to perform the
work, he was told that he was to assist
in the preparation of internal machines.
One machine had to be arranged so
that it could be fixed under the
ground a little way, and from the
place where the "crutch" was fixed
over the pendulum wire a little con-
trivance had to be constructed by which
a small lead pipe could be attached, and
through this pipe wire had to be car
ried. A second machine was TO have
sharp hooks affixed to drive it into the
bottom of railway carriage, the clock
work movement being made 10 explode
the charge at any time. from one minute
10 forty eight or more hours. The third
machine was to be more simple, having
TO be so constructed that it could be put
under garden wall or any pathway.
This Continuance was to be worked with
very thin wires. Another machine was
a dynamite boom, to be placed under
the seat of private carriage. The last
machine sketched out by the con-
spirators was to be of miniature
size. so that it might be easily placed
within bouquet A thirty-hour
movement was required, similar to that
found in aa American alarm clock, and
the charge might either be of nitro
glycerine or dynamite. The men told
him that an attempt would shortly be
made to wreck the royal train on its
journey to Moscow TIE clockmaker
asked time to consider the proposal and
arranged for an interview in a weeks
time at New Street Railway Station,
Birmingham. They met according TO
appointment and adjourned to a neigh
boring coffee house, where he was asked
to sign an agreement pledging him to
the strictest secTesy on penalty OF death,
and promising $500 on completion of the
work. He told the men he had made
up his mind not TO undertake the work,
and, despite their psrsuasions and
threats, persisted in declining their over
lures. After the departure of the men
he was continually apprehensive Of Nj
hilist violence.

The Railroad Problem IN Congress.
There arc but two bills relative to
the railroad question, now before the
House-that reported by the Committee
on Commerce and that proposed as
substitute by Mr.. Reagan Dem, Tex
The former is understood to have been
drawn by Mr.. Charles Francis Adams.
Jr., aud is presumed TO embody the
provisions to which the railroad interest
generally is willing to submit Il pro-
vldes for a Board Of National Railroad
Commissioners, to have general supervi-
sion over interstate lines. but with little
power beyond that Of watching and re-
porting. They are to see that the
United States laws affecting railroads
are enforced, but the value Of that func-
ton obviously depends on what the
laws are. The bill forbids discrimina-
ton in general terms, but would allow
of pooling arrangements, rebates,
drawbacks, and other devices

indirectly. The Reagan bill is
much more stringent, prohibiting all
discrimination in rates and charges be-
tween individuals. all allowances Of re-
bates and drawbacks, all pooling arrange
ments to prevent competition, and dis
elimination between places to the extent
OF charging more per car load for q
shorter than for q longer distance. 1t
does not assume to fix or TO limit charges.
but requires all railroads coming within
its provisions to keep their schedules of
rates posted, which cannot be changed
without five days notice. and to adhere
strictly to the rates so published. These
are the main features of the bill, apart
from very rigid provisions in regard to
penalties for violation. 1t provides for
no commission to look after its enforce
ment, defect which could be remedied

Rdisnn,s Electric Lighf.

The Scientific american says that Edi-
sons lamps of sixteen candle power
shine with a mild and serene efful-
gence, and are equal 10 an ordinary
street gas light. The division of the cur
rent is complete and economical, and
the lights can be turned off or on. up or
down, as easily as an ordinary gas burner
can be regulated. The carbons will last
several months, and during that time the
lamp requires no attention, except to
keep the outer globe free from dust. If
q lamp be broken it can be replaced as
easily as a candle can be set in its
socket. and the suspension of one lamp
has no effect on the others in the circuit.
The lamps now used by Edison do not
require any material change in the ar
rangements of lights in a room. There
is no Pickering in these lamps. as in the
previous ones. There seems TO be no
question of the economy Of the Edison
system. He estimates that with his new
engine three and one-half pounds of
coal per hour viii generate net cur,
rent sufficient for sixteen lights of eight
candle power each.

A bill has been introduced in the New
York Legislature under the title. an act
to authorize any church, religious, char
table or benevolent society to hold fairs
or exhibitions, and at such fairs or exhi-
billions to set up or propose goods and
chattels to be ratified for. The obvious
design of this measure is to legalize
church lotteries. The Eoening Post
points out an obstacle in its way in a
clause in the State constitution which
says: Nor shall any lottery hereafter
be authorized or any sale of lottery
tickets allowed within this State" This
provision of the constitution is reinforced
by decisions Of the courts to the effect
that it is equally lottery whether the
prizes are paid in money or in lands or
chattels; that the sale of prize packages
Of candy, some containing money or
tickets emitting the purchaser to other
property, is lottery; that a gift con-
cert enterprise is lottery; and that any
distribution of prizes by chance is lot
terry.
