COIOr9d Police.

By appointing four coiored men OF
the police force in Philadelphia, Mayol
King, though a Democrat, Las braved
public opinion and dared to do what ht
believed to be right. He no doubt will
have majority of the party to which
he belongs barking at his teels, but he
need not mind them SO long as he does
not owe his election to any political par
ty. 1t is relief to find consclentiou
independent mayor who will throw off
party shackles and be what he purports
to be, the Mayor OF the people without
regard torolitics.
There is no good reason why a police
1orce should be made up exclusively
from onepolitical party. It's able bod
led, honest, conscientious men that are
wanted on the police force and such
men can be found in all political parties
ana amongst cOorcd even as well as
White men. There will be some So quirmine
and kicking no doubt against the ac-
tion of Mayor King hut when it is found
that colored men will make as good po-
licemen as the best white men on the
force and cannot possibly make worse
ones than some, the prejudice against
them will soon die ont and the Mayors
actions will be commended. We do
not favor partisan police torco who
make it the principal part of their duty
to work for the success of the political
party from which they were chosen.
The colo-ed citizen has long been on
the police force in Southern cities even
under Democratic Mayors without ex-
citing any popular prejudice, but the
action Of Mayor King makes the four
colored men he has appointed on the
police force OF Philadelphia, the first
appointed in any Northern or Western |
city.
In doing this Mayor King has simply |
performed his duty, and however The
politicians may growl and grumbe, tn
great mass OF all parties will sustain
him for his fidelity to merit regardless
of party or race.

cate of election to the Lower House,

cd some 5000 or 800 mure votes than

THE DAY OF telephoning as discov.
cred by repeated experiments is yet bn'
in its infancy, and it is hard to tel
80 what lengths it may be carried Or
what purposes it may subserye. Expe-
rimerts recently made between the

terson, New Jersey, 60 to show that

capabilities Of the telephone. The dis
tanea between these two points IL three
hunGred and fifty miles, yet words
were plainly distinguishable at that
distance, although several unfavorable
circumstances rendered them less audi
BILE than they would otherwise have
been. But the fact that, even now,
with the invention still in its infancy,
that such remarkable results can be OBJ
tained, opens up broad field of ex-
pectation and possibilities, and gives
promise that this means Of easy and
instantaneous communication may
some day become one of mans most

Cotton RecOintng nxAHx,

Industrial arpet-baggars in thcSouth
are taking the place of political carpet
baggers, and the results are very salts
flying and gratifying Cotton under the
direction Of Northern skill and the aid
of Northern capital and enterprise is
becoming bigger King and better
King than it ever was or could have
been under the ant-hellum slavery
regime. 1t has changed its character
the South Is fast becoming as
much OF a manufacturing interest rs it
had been source Of agricultural wealth.
In addition to the old conventional cot
ton gin, cotton mills are goirg up along
side Of where the raw staple grows,
and the profits are consequently found
to be much larger than in the North.
There is nothing strange in all this, and
it is bat the natural consequences of
well directed enterprise. The South
should have manufactured its own G. T.
ton with skilled labor while it Was d, in !!
ncthing but raising cotton with unskl!l
ed slave labor. The recent census
show tha the average annual dividen!s
Of the principal mills IN the South are
shown by carefully prepared statistics
to te 22l5 per cent. A dividend of 2s
per cent. was declared at Augusta,
Georgia, probably the most enterprisln
CITY OF the South, of 2S per cent. in 1879
or $500, 900 invested in cotton factories,
and shat branch of industry ha, been
more than doubled Some mills are r, =
ported as showing forty per can't yearly
profit. Large manufacturing compan-
les here have been organized Though
out tie South from Virginia to Texas
and the prospects are in the hishes; de-
gres encouraging. s. it looks after all
as if cotton was assuming its Eingly
sceptre and the indirect cause Of our
late fratsrnal wal, may yet be the means
of connecting the two sections ia the
strongest fraternal brotherhood.
