That Lieut.. Ripper should have b

That Lieut.. Ripper should have been
guiItv of stealing government bonds is sad
for several reasons. In the first place II is
always a shame and disgrace to
country to have any Of its servants guilty
of such actions, q shame and disgrace
which this country has unfortunately had
inflicted upon it too often. Again he was
an army officer, and of class OF men
whom the people have always regarded as
honest and honorable; and have have mao
as a general thing cause to do so. But
more than this he was in that position the
representative of his race the only coloreo
officer in the service the only negro who haa
graduated from West Point. As such ne
was expected to demonstrate that the
colored man could stand along side OF the
white one. He was an experiment anu
the very thought should have kept hlm
honest, moreover Whittakers disgrace at
West Point put him on a.pedestal higher
than ever. But he fell and no"
in our entire service we nave
no colored officer in good standing. Inc
placing of colored men into positions they
cannot maintain is now acknowledged to
be a blunder; blunder which only SHY
sentimentalism could have effected. The
colored man is and should be the equal OF
the white before the law. His rights are
as sacred as anyone's rights. His feelings
and his honorable ambitions will always
obtain respect; but as long as human SO
eiety is at present constituted; as long Oh
social lines are drawn and enforced; al
long as the feeling Of social distinction be
tween the white and black man, exists 81
long viii experiments like the Whittake
and Flipper cases be blunder, although
their outcome may not like theirs, resui

ACCORDING to the Richmond State, cotton

According to the Richmond State, cotton
cloth manufactured in the South is much
superior to that made in New England or
abroad, for the reason that the raw ma
terial is taken directly from the plantations
without having previously been compress
ed into bales. The process of COMPRISING
is represented to be extremely injurious TO
the cotton fibre, depriving it of some OF Its
strength as well as to its beauty and natur
al gloss. This fact seems likely to exercise
wide and permanent influence upon COT
tom manufacture 'tAs Virginia and Ken
lucky now export their tobacco manly IL
manufactured form, and not in the leaf
green or dry, so" says the State, VIII the
South in the future come to export her cot
ton in the more valuable manufacturer

The Rock Island Unton the other day

The Rock Island Union the other day
made the startling announcement that our
present tariff was for the purpose OF rals-
ing the revenue It was new IDEA ana
but poorly advanced, II the tarln is at all
n nrotection for our home manufacturers
it must be so through keeping foreign
goods out. Under such state OF Things
there can be no revenue for the state. Inc
difference in the price which we nave TO
nav on account of the duties levied upon
goods. is a tax which goes to the nanufac-
turer not to the state.
The greatest necessary of this age is
iron. And on this tariff duty, 80 far from
over-rating, actually undertakes the tax
which the manufacturer levies from the
people. This is shown beyond quesuon
by a comparison of price lists. The duty
IN MIC iron is 81 ton; the advance IN
price OF American over foreign plg-lron
has varied during the last ten years from
81 to S23. Figuring the tribute, however
at no more than the duty we have TINS

home production of pig-iron for 1879 was

There is nothing which should interest
the farmer more than the tax on steel rails
His great problem to-day is the problem OF

IMPROVEMENT OF THE MISSISSIPPI

The approaching convention in this city

of the navigation of the Mississippi river

all the material points connected with II.

The object sought is national. 1t is
more important than the acquisition OF

exactly Mnat conaign and proper penalty

possible TO stats, the following however
are the charges made against him.
1. That in sermon preashed in Centen-
tenary M. e. church, Chicago October 10,
1880, he denied the inspiration and au-
thority of some portions of tho canonical
scriptures.
2. That in other sermons specified and
in sundry statements he denied the doctrine
of atcnement, as held by the church.

tapon;zed the standards of the church IN
relation to the endless punishment OF the

The full enor1nity of his crime, "
is impossible for any one not deeply
yersed in matters of church doctrines and
church ethics to state, but it may be pre-
sumed to be something horrible. but
little can be said for Mr.. Thomas IN case
of this sort He is man who has always
lead an honest, upright, moral life; and
preached such O course to others; man
whose brains and culture would make nm
a credit to any place or church; but If he
is as bed as the charges would seem to I'M
ply, there can be little help for him.

A 1eipzig journal, devoted to the glass

A Leipzig journal, devoted to the glass
interest, states that the cracking OF lamp
chimneys may be prevented by placing
them in a pot filed with cold water, adding
q little cooking salt, and after the mixture
has been allowed to boil well over fire, 10
have the articles cool slowly. Treated IN
this way, glass will be found to resist
cracking, even if exposed to very sudden
changes of temperature, and the chimneys
become very durable by passing through
such an operation. The process IS II
fact, simply one of annealing, and 1t result.

especially the cooling portion of it, tb'
more effective win it be.

ROME AND TEE LAND LEAGUE.

The Right Rev. Bishop McQuaid, of
Rochester, to-day addressed the people of
his diocese in strong opposition to the
Irish National Land League. He said the
following of a few priests with loose con-
sciences did not sanctify the ssno-rent'
cause, pointed his people to the position of
the Pope as opposed to secret organiza
tions, and concluded his address with the
sermon of the day, telling his hearers that
between the revolutions of the League and
all good Catholics the lines were to be
sharply and determinedly drawn.
The action of Bishop McQuaid andeubt-
edly originated at Rome and is the direct
result of I,apal influence England is a
Protestant country and has been so for a
long time. but there is no government IN
Europe That has continued for so long a
time on good terms with Rome and has
throughout maintained so friendly re1a
tions with the vatican. The Catholic par
ty in England is headed by the Duke of
Norfolk, who is bitterly opposed to the
Land League and the objects it is intend
ed 80 promote. Papa1 aid has undoubted-
