THE BLOODY SHIRT.
Some of the bloody shirt republican or
gans are striving to throw cold water upon
and undo the kindly feeling engendered be-
tween the two great political parties OF the
country. and between the sections engen-
dered and brought to full fruition by the
death of President Garfield, but We trust,
and believe that the good sense, the gem
erosity and the fraternity of the entire
country will set down upon such efforts so
promptly and so energetically that they
will cease their howlingS, abashed and in
elf-shame.-kauiman Sun.
MANUFACTURES.
A short time since straw hat manuac-
tory was established in Richmond, Virgin
in. 1t is the first and only one south of Ma
son and Dixon's line. The cause which led
to il is an argument in favor of the estab-
lishment of not only that but other facto-
reS in the south, viz. too much cold wealth
er north. The operators say that thelI
hands suffer two-thirds of the time north
from cold, inilamatory rheumatism, etc.
The climate here is still more favorable
in that respect than Virginia. This is why
he cotton factories of Georgia and other
southern states can realize larger profits
even ifthey had the treights to pay, than
factories north 1t is true that wages are
some higher here but the mildness of the
climate will more than make up the differ
encc in the greater NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

THE EAST LINE.
The Wcatheriord Commercial says the
East Line railroad may run to Fort Worth.
Yes, but it may not, and will not, unless
they obtain new charter The present
charter calls for Decatur as the terminal
point. When Decatur gets the Denver
road and the East Line, and gets new
court house and the hole in the top of
the school house stopped she will then be-
gin to put on city airs decatur Tribune.
WANTS A CORRECT HISTORY
jefferson Davis has intimated that he
NAV pos ibly write child's history of the
United States, which will do justice to our
people and their ancestors" We would be
pleased to see some one prepare history
that was adapted to school children and
that would give true and impartial histo-
nv of the United States, especially OF the
past twenty wears. We have not examined
a single one since the war but what con-
tanned many glaring errors and state
mcnts.-[Greenville Independent.
MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
Every now and then somebody starts a
cock and bull story to the effect that the
Mississippi jetties are failure, that the
channel is filling up, and that the river
route to the sea will never have any COM
mercal value. Captain Eads shows that
such rumors are without foundation, the
channel depth of twenty-five feet through
the ietties being constantly maintained
1t i'll becomes New York to ridicule the
great interior waterway of the continent
The largest ocean freight steamers never
try to enter New York harbor, because
even at high water they cannot get over the
bar. Any vessel that can reach New York
can reach New Orleans, and can find there
cargoes, which have been brought at low
rate 900 miles or more on the current of O
river, instead of at high cost across OF
around the Alleghanies. st. Louis is the
natural reservoir from which all this trade
is drawn. Nature bids the volume Of thi,
business to increase at the expense o
the Atlantic ports, and the com
ing river convention will have for its duty
no harder task than to assist nature.-[ Aus

TOO THANKFUL.
David Davis did not accept the office Of
president of the senate "as tribute to any
personal merit" but thanks the senate for
the "marks of confidence. He should
have confined his thanks to the republicans
who elected him simply and purely to graf
lily their spite and prejudice against any
thing bearing the name of democrat, In
their eyes, if they didn't lie about it, it was
q crime on the part of the democrats to take
advantage of their majority to elect Bayard
but il was christian and patriotic act fol
them to take advantage of circumstances
to fill the office with man better suited
to their purpose. If we should be allowed
to intrude an original remark on this occa
sion we would say, ut makes n great diff
ference whose OK is gored '-[San Antonio

PLANT EN-.
The Apaches are now planted directly
in the path of civilization and commerce,
and what western people want is that they
should be made to get out OF the way,
There is but two ways of doing this. One
is to plant them in the Indian Territory,
where they can amuse themselves scalping
Modocs or Chcyennes or Comanches, and
being scalped in turn; and the other is to
'plantn them beneath the sod. While we
prefer that the army which We are all taxed

Apache according to the most approved
method of our neighbors across the Mexi.
can border, yet as our fellow citizens of the
east are opposed to that kind of agriculture,
we must insist that the next best plan be
adoptcd.-[El Paso Thirty-Four,
TOO LENIkST.
Governor Roberts is making himself
notorious in new way. The last method
he has resorted to is by pardoning the boys
who have been sent TO the state prison.
While spirit OF charity is commendable
In any one, and while the governor no
doubt acts from pure motives in releasing
these young criminals, il is very doubtful
whether his lcniency toward these young
conyicts is cxpedient or justice to the pcO-
pie of the state. Juries and courts are
always disposed to give minors all the benc-
fits in their trials for crime that the law will
permit, and boy is seldom convicted
without there is II plain case made out
against him. We have long since come 10
the conclusion that when boy shows a
disposition to do evil continually, and
takes no pleasure in doing good, or In
gaining the favor of good people that 70.
