HARRY WATTERsoN is afraid The Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICANS basis for harmony
in the Republican party would tend to-
ward machine politics and the spoils
system. Our proposition was as follows
First-obllvion of past differences between Re-
publcans
second-A union of all who are opposed to Bour-
bon restoration In the Nation.
Third-Electlons by the people instead of by the
great corporations.
What is there in all this to excite Mr..
Watterson's apprchensions that his be-
loved country will fall prey to the spoils
system if Republicans agree to it? Is he
not rather fearful that if Republicans
unite the crib will be the farther re-
moved from the Democratic nose? Demo
cratc and alleged Republican refermers
are always desperately afraid that Offices
will be appointed on some system which
will rule them out. 1t is not so much re-
form that they desire as prevender,

A Gentle Bourbon.

Senator Lamar, il is rumored will take
part in the Democratic canvass in Iowa
this fall Lamar wants people to vote
the Democratic ticket because the Re-
publicans arc so nice. He was so popular
in Mississippi in 1874 that even the shot
guns arose and advocated the Democratic
Side. These eloquent speakers changed
a Republican majority of thirty thousand
to a Democratic majority of the same
size, and thus sent him to the Senate.
The Bourbons are said to be trying to
stop Lamar from getting back to the
Senate because he is so kind to the
negroes who were mol killed in 1874 He
is so good to the negroes that he is will
ing to let them support him He is very
warm in his praises Of ex-senator Bruce,
and even 81 let on" as though he wanted
Niger" in the Cabinet. The bitter
rage of Mr.. Lamar toward General Ma
hone because the latter would not re-
spond to the crack of the Bourbon whip
in the United States Senate must not be
regarded as any evidence that the great
Mississippian is a Bourbon. He acts
with them always, and is very bitter on
any cx-confederate who does not but he
is perfectly willing to allow negroes to
vote for him, and is often spoken Of as
one who is at heart U more Repub-
lican than Democrat. Good, isn't it?
Wonder if he buffers his horse'shay?

The Theory of Preaching.

Prof. Austin Phelps is a Pennsylva-
nian whom Massachusetts, adopted
good many years ago, marrying HIM to
Moses Stuart's daughter and giving him
a professorship in Andover Theological
Seminary. He has been so long a New
Englander by adoption that most people
FORGET he was born on the banks OF the
Schuylkill and graduated in 1887, along
with Profs. Gurney Smith and John
Neil, from the University of Pennsyl-
yania. Prof. Phelps has written largely
for the religious periodicals, besides
publishing two devotional works of un-
usual excellence. His chief work, we
take it, will prove to be that just pub
lisbed by Messrs. Scribner's Sons ("The
Theory of Preaching. Lectures on
Homiietics. The American Protest,
ant Church has already as many good
hooks on this subject as any other IN
the world, except that Of Germany.
Dr. Porter's Lectures" and DIR. Shedd's s
works are of great excellence. The
Yale lectures of Mr.. Beecher, DIR.
TAYLOR. DIR. Hall, Bishop Simpson, and,
above all, Mr.. Phillips Brooks, promise
10 be the first of long series of works
bv practical pastors. In fulness, accu-
racy and suggestiveness, we would place
Prof Phelps's work at the very head OF
the list. 1t is the outcome of many
wears of study and teaching, for until
yery recently Prof Phelps filed the
Chair of Sacred Rhetoric in AndOver.
As the sermon Is, after all, the most
important literary production in Amer
lea. there cannot be too careful study
Of its true character and its best forms.
a few exceptional men are natural
preachers. Rules, and even suggestions,
are only embarrassments to them. On
the other hand, few persons, who are
neither by nature nor by grace ftted
for the work, will be likely to abuse
suggestions and rules, and to sink into
a dull Journalism in their use. Between
these two extremes, the great majority
of preachers stand and even those OF
them who have been. at home in the
pulpit for years, viii learn something
from this scholarly and thoughtful book.
Prof Phelps will make no or very few
Journalists. We say, ''or very few, for
even the Sermon on the Mount has been
abused to favor Journalism. He aims
high, and he requires the preacher to do
so. He insists that the sermon should
not be any dry rehearsal Of doctrines
accepted abstractly by preacher and
people, but should be the expression Of
the preachers deyout apprehension and
realization Of the truth, with view to
awakening a similar sense Of truth in
his hearers. He abhors stiff divisions
of a subject, arid repetitions Of stale
themes, and all those faults Of respect
able dulness which have made the pull
pit too often burden to the pew. And
he wants a manly style Of preaching
I'm an age like ours no pulpit can sue
ceed which, like the pulpit Of Germany,
lives in large disprOpOrtion upon the

We TWO.

Ny home? Well, tits a small affair,
presume you'd think 'tWould hardly do,
But then for style we don't much care,
And il doesn't take very much room for two
'Tis breezy place, where the trees embrace
And knit their boughs in fiimy lace.
But a sunbeam or two comes sitting throHgh,
And little makes happiness for two.
The house? Yes tbs old fashioned quite;
Three rooms or such matter there;
But the flowers dance in the sunlight bright,
And our hearts know little or naught of care
So the lOve-Iit days like purple haze
Go drifting out in hlissful maze,
And affection anew sings the whole day
through,
And we are happy enough for two.
This land is as fair as fair can be.
With the woods, and the hills, and the match
less sky,
With the waving grain and the fower-Aecked
lea,
Aud the beautiful brook that babbles by,
So hand in hand by Loves breeze famed.
We journey on TO the ''Silent Land"
II the world goes too how can we rue
When none are happier than 1--WE two"

The Star Route Villiany.
CHIDEsTER's FORT WORTH AND FORT YUMA
ROUTE.
THE CHAMPION swINDLI
New York Times. I

New York Times.
WAsHINGToN, October 15.-The history
Of the "big route" from Fort Worth to
Yuma, during the current term, 1882,
has been told in the Times, aud the facts
exhibited were sufficient to warrant the
application of the words "the champion swim
die" to this line. One naturally has some Gu
riosity about the previous history of such a
line. Was the government >swindled in
like manner on this overland route during
the contract term, lS74-S, and in previous
contract terms? Who were the contractors,
what was their pay, and how was the line
manipulated in those days? These are the
questions which would be very naturally
asked by anyone who had become interested
in these star route frauds.
Although the mails were forwarded over
what was substantially the same line i'll the
years previous to 1878, the service was di-
vided in different manner. Before 1873
| the line was cut in two at or near Mesilla,
| New Mexico. From that point westward
| to California there was one route in the
hands of one contractor, but the remaining
portion from Me5illa eastward into Texas,
made up of two or three Independent routes
which were controlled by F. p. Sawyer, a
contractor who was as powerful in the south
| west rs Barlow was in the west. SAWYER s
| income from routes was at one time about
| $500 900 per annum, and it WAS shown to a
congressional committee in 1876 that his
"expenses and attorneys fees amounted to
| 5000 900 in three years and half Let US
| look at the history of that part of this long
| line, now almost entirely superseded by rail-
ways, which lay between Mesilla and the
Pacific coast bearing in mind that
what has recently been said of the lines
luIprodu duetivo character must hHT0 dPPiled
to it with hundredfold greater force ten
years ago, when the country through which
it passed was for the most part an inhabited
desert.
Chidester in 1870, was getting $299, 1000
per annum for the entire line, seven trips
per week, from Fort Worth to Yuma, 1900
miles This was bad enough, considering the
! nature of his service as has been shown, but
it waseconomy when compared with the pay
on the line from Mesilla to Los Angeles IN
1870. Chidester's line was only 1860 miles
long, and this line was only 847 miles long
Chidester was paid for seven trips per week
but Barlow and Sanderson, who carried the
mails over these 847 miles, were paid fol
only three trips per week. Chidester re
ceived $299, 900, but Postmaster Genera
Cresswell told congressional COMMITTEES
in 1876 that Barlow and Sanderson were
paid S213, 1874 in 1870. when their oontrac
term closed.

VOLUME xiv.
The Advantages of the South over
the North For Cotton Mauufactur-
ing.

The very encouraging growth Of cotton
manufactures in some of the Southern States
is phenomenon that rests upon explain
able causes. The late census shows that
the New England mills pay an average price
OF l1.65 cents pound for the raw cotton
they use. while the Southern mills pay TO-
51 cents. Here is a difference in favor of
the Southern mills of 20 per cent. on the
raw material to begin with, and it is esti-
mated that is amounts to So, 900 900 year
On the quantity of raw cotton consumed by
the New England mills. When it comss to
wages the Southern mills have still greater
advantage. The average wages paid to fac
tory operatives in New England are s236
year: in the South $I6I-a difference of
S75 year, or over 46 per cent 1t is esti-
mated in the cotton manufacturing returns,
as given in the late census, that if the New
England mills could procure cotton and
labor at the same rates the Southern mills
pay for them they would save $l5, 700, 900
a year, equal to 10 per cent. on their capital
invested in the business 1t is impossible
that these facts should not in time have an
effect in transferring certain manufacturing
habits of the New Eaglanders will make
them manufacturing people for all time
10 come and enable them to maintain them
selves in extensive skilled industries; but
the fact that raw cotton and wages are much
cheaper in the Southland always will be
must sooner or later cause manufacturing
capitalists to erect cotton mills in Georgia
instead Of Rhode Island, since the difference
between the two States is the difference be
tween dividend of 10 per cent. and of 20
% er cent

Women as Voters at School Meetings
From the Rochester Democrat.l

From the kOClcELeF DGulOEIdL.
The officers Of many country school dis
tricts are reported As saying that the votes
of women cannot ho taken, because their
names are not 0n the Assessors rolls. Com
plants Of this ruling coming to Miss Susan
B. Anthony, promted her 70 make inquiry
of the State Superintendent. In regard 70
her inquiry she has received the following
letter:
STATE OF New York, Department Of
Public Instructor, Superinteudents Office,
Alabama, September II, l8Sl.-Miss Susan
B. Anthony, Rochester, Monroe County
Under the law passed last winter, women
who are legal voters at school-meetings may
be divided into three classes !. Any wOm-
an who is a resident of the district. OF the
age Of u years, entitled to hold lands IN
this State, and who does own or hire real
estate in the district liable 10 taxation for
school purposes; 2. Any woman who Is a
citizen Of the United State, above the age
OF q years, resident Of the district, and
who has permanently residing with her a
child Of school age, who has attended the
school Of the district for period OF at least
eight weeks within the year preceding the
| time at which the vote is offered; 3. Any
woman who isa citizen Of the United States,
district, and whose name is actually-on the
last preceding town assessment roll for per-
souai property exceeding $50 in value, ex-
elusive of such as is exempt from execution
From this you will uderstand that any
woman who comes under any one Of these
three divisions, is legal voter at school
meetings 1t is not necessary that she fall
under all three, but only one. am inclin-
ed 70 think from your letter, that you are
of the opinion that it is necessary that q
woman's name shall be registered upon some
enrolment of voters before she shall be en-
titled to vote. Such enrolment is not neces-
sary at school meetings. Il is only neces-
sary that she comply with one Of the three
divisions before mentioned, in order 10 con-
stitute her legal voter at school meetings
and her vote ought not to be refused at such
meetings. If you desire any further infor-
nation upon any point, | will be glad to
give it to you.
Your obedient servant,
NEIL GILMOUR, Sup't.
