"Mr. Garfield has been in office too

All We know of him since he has
been President are his public

understand them they have been in
favor of a recognition of the abso-
lutte and just equality of the states
of the Union and of the citizens as
citizens of the whole country. He
has signified his intention to exer-
else his powers in friendly spirit to
the Southern people according to
honor and justice, and until
he is proven false we may take him
at his word. lift be true that he shall
prostitute the powers of his great
office to carry out any corrupt po-
litical bargain, and send before the
Senate the names of men ticketed
with the price of their political ter
giyersation, he will need the vote of
the Vice-President superadded to
that of Mr.. Malone and his Repub-

cratic party ask of Mr.. Garfield is
that he shall execute his duties with
an eye single TO the public honor

not believe he will have cause, to
complain of embarrassment or oppo-

THE Dallas Times is beginning to
lay it pretty thick on Senator
Maxey's shoulders, touching his
championship of the expedited star
route appropriation. The STATES
MAN objected to the course of Mr..
Maxey in advocating this appropria-
ton against the deliberate concur
sions of other Democratic senators,
who were easily enough convinced
one vidence, that the government was
being defrauded. The STATESMAN
never believed that MfS Maxey.. ..acted
against his convictions, but it did
believe that he should have been in
fiuenced by evidence nearly as strong
then as now. The only difference
between then and now is that the
Postoffice Department was under
the guidance of thieves, while now
it is controlled by men who
are ready and anxious to in
vestlgate charges and correct evils.
The Democratic party was on
the way to clothe itself with honor,
by stopping this thieving before the
money was provided TO satisfy ILL
gotten gains, and it has TO credit
Senator Maxey and two or three
other Democrats with defeat. Still
we are not inclined to irnpuse any
improper motive to the senator.
The question of his relatives and
friends being given important su-
rervision of postal routes and offices
in this district may excite specula-
ton in the minds of the suspicious,
but that must be all.

THE German exodus this spring
surpasses anything of past years.
The authorities at Berlin are per-
fectly bewildered at the extraordi-
nary and unprecedented emigration,
which, to all appearances,is in its in
fancy. The number of emigrants
that left the port of Hamburg the
first quarter of the year 1880 was
7707, which was considered extra.
ordinary; but for the first quarter
this year the figures reached the un-
precedented number of 24,44f.
Every steamer of the Hamburg
American line leaving that port for
the next five months is contracted
for, and the company has been
obliged to put on tri-weekly line
of extra steamships. Col. Lang's
visit to Europe, in the interest of
the Southwestern Immigration Com
pany, must speedily result in causing
thousands to decide upon Texas, In
stead of some other country, for fu-
ture 'habitation. Local societies
should take advantage of the ocea-
sion, and profit by this widespread
desire to live in the New instead
of the Old World. Texas has
capacity for 6O,ooo.OOO people, ana
in 1890 her census returns will show
at least 100000 and probably s.
100000. Col. Hoxie's estimate would
give Texas over 100000 in one year
after the census was taken, when 1T
was !, sol, 2,596. .

into effect in Kansas OH the first day
of the present month. The law is
sweeping in its provisions, and pro-
hibits the manufacture or sale of in
toxicating liquors in any form, ex-
cept for medicinal purposes. The
people of other states will watch the
result and effects of this law, on ac-
count of its stringent provisions
and the final result of the experl
ment in that state will be taken as

ity of total prohibition elsewhere.

swamps made 1t impossible for the
distiller to bring the products of
that forest to his distillery without
loss. He, therefore, represented
the facts to the manager of the rail-
road, and proposed that if the rail
road would reduce its rates. upon
the turpentine, which he would get
beyond the river, enough to pay the
expense of bringing it over he
would build a ferry and u causeway
through the swamp, and bring into
cultivation the forest which was IN
accessible at the ordinary rates of
freight.
"The arrangement was made, and
proved satisfactory and profitable
to both. parties. The turpentine
distiller continued to pay cheerfully
the original rates upon ell products
of the forest on his side of Che river.
For the turpentine. he brought
across the river at copsideEsble
expense he paid a lower rate ,af
!, freight, which left him the same
profit as on his original production.
The RAILROAD company got the
steady hauling of the products of
this forest, which would otherwise
have gone to waste and benefited
no one. The owner of the forest re-
ceived his royalty on his trees,
bringing him in an income which
he could never otherwise have de-
rived A number of laborers re-
ceived daily employment which
they could not otherwise have got
ten. And the whole mercantile
community which is interested in
naval stores received the benefit of
the increased production.
"Who was injured? Nobody that
| have ever heard of. Yet, If
there had been any law against dis
elimination, that railroad manager
could not have made that conces-
sion in rates to the distiller, with
out, at the same time, reducing. his
rates for hauling turpentiue to ey-
cry other distillery upon the road.
Such a reduction would have cost
him perhaps $500 where it would
have made him one."

Man and Woman's Relations TO one An

Rev. K. A. Beaman gave an expo

The principal points were that the

He said that woman Is feminine
in spirit as well as in body, and that
man is masculine in intellect as well
as in outward form. We can not say
that man and woman are equal or
that either is superior. They are
different yet complementary. W.o-
man is the recipient of divine love,
and is pre-eminently afectiohate
and emotional. Man Is the recipient
of divine wisdom, and hence Is SUI
perior in clearness Of thoughtand
GOODNESS of judgment Love prompts
and intellect guides; emotion arouses
and thought illuminates the work.
Both are essential, neither superior.
Both exist. in humanity. and NO hu-
manity could exist without both be-
ing present. The adornmentiof the
bride begins when the feminine edu-
cation begins, and consists in the de-
velopment Of every quality Of heart.
mind and body which is calculated
TO render her better wife and
mother. No true woman submits to
her husband, except as she submits
her affections TO the direction of in
telligence. No true man rules over
his wife, except as intelligence di-
rects affection. No true man can
love the woman who submits as
slave, and no true woman submits TO
any arbitray mandate of her hus-
bands rf -at Urf
Part of the education OF the yonng
must be common to both sexes.
Aside from the rudiments, however,
education should be snch as TO de-
velop every quality and power Of
the girl into feminine perfection,
and every characteristic of the boy
into manly plentitude.
Some women are anxiously stoop-
ing to masculine employinents, but
there are few men who are capable
of aspiring to womanly usefulness.
Wifehood and motherhood, the es-
tablishment, maintenance and devel-
opment Of the home are woman's
special privileges. Man can not do
this work. The woman who does
mans work and ably fills mans
place in business or the professions
Is worthy of all honor belonging 10

may labor, she is filling o place far

HABITS AND THEIR EFFECTS ON
HEALTH.

DR.. Janeway, of the New York
Board of Health, has been giving
public lectures upon the causes of
disease and the means of preserving
health. He traces nearly all the ills
that man becomes heir to to evil hab-
its. Especially does he trace the
cause of much disease to the use of
strong drink and the immoderate
use of tobacco. Heavy drinkers are
sure, sooner or later, to break down
with disease, and the moderate
drinkers, who occasionally drink to
excess, are very likely to fill their
vacant places. Excessive drinking
causes hardening OF the heart and
fatty degeneration Of that organ, SO
that it can not perform its 1unctions
properly. 1t also produces soften
ing of the brain, so that, though q
man may live little while, it would
be better for his friends and per-
haps for himself that he were dead.
The sly drinker is in the greatest
danger, and those who drown sor-
row will destroy themselves. Says
DIR. Jameway: :r .-s
"Those..who drinkin the morning
to get up an appetite had better give
UP the habit or they will have no
need therefor after a while. Another
habit the young men are addicted to
is the use or abuse of tobacco. A
glass of wine or beer may not hurt
man, nor pipe or cigar three
times day, but some men will keep
the pipe'or the cigar in their mouths
all the TIME. Such had better let
them alone. Then there are bad
habits in eating as well as in drink
ing or smoking. There are different
classes of eaters, such as boilers. who
swallow their dinners in five Epiu-
utes and then run off to the work
shop or the counting house; the
gorgers, who think that the great
end OF life is to "eat, drink and be
merry" the gourmands, who stuff
the stomach as they would sack
with corn; the dyspeptic eaters, the
nibblers, who are chiefly ladies who
like to keep themselves petite and
delicate. and those who eat reason
bly,. The boilers and .gorgers are,
certain to become dyspeptics and the
nfbblers to be affected with nervous
disorders. The stomach is not so
strong as some people imagine, and
when people become i'll from those
careless habits they run to the doc
tor to cure them of what they. could
easily have cured themselves and
saved their money and their health.
Health depends in q very great
measure on the sanitary condition
of the houses we live in, and we
cannot be too careful therein. We
should have pure air in our living
and sleeping rooms 1here is too
little tendency, especially in winter,
to open the upper part of the win
dows or doors to let the pure air in.
And yet this is most essential to
health. We may not appreciate. the
effect of bad air Immediately. but
1--WE shall suffer therefrom after q
while, and those who have been ad-
dicted to bad habits aud poor food
will be likely to fall an easy prey
to disease"
