RICHMOND, June 3.-The Readjusters are
rather sour tempered. The harmony move
ment in the interest of Riddleberger last
night was badly managed and had an oppo-
site effect. TIE hasty and ingenious speech
of Riddleberger hurt his cause and defeated
HIM. Wise withdrew Malone to-day and in
the ballot that followed Riddleberger receiv-
ed very few votes.

A Good Editor.

A good editor, competent newspa-
per conductor, is like a general or poet
born, not made. On the London daily
papers all the historians, noYelists, poets,
essayists have been employed, and near
ly all have failed. We might say all
for after display of brilliancy, brief
but grand, they died out literally. Their
resources were exhausted. Il can" p"
said late editor of the Times to Moore,
''tind any number of men of genius to
write for MS, but very seldom one of
common sense" The "thnnderers" ia
the Times, therefore, have, so far as we
know, been men of common sense.
Nearly all successful editors have been
men of this description. Campbell,
Bulwer and Disraeli failed, Barnes,
Sterling and Phillips succeeded. A
good editor seldom writes for his paper.
He reads, judges, selects, dictates, al
tiers and combines, and to do all this
well he has but little time for compost
.tion. To write for paper is one thing,
to edit paper is another.

Between 1777 and 1884 the ter

of "Franklyn. In the old records

the way payments were made in a
time when people had no current

Cured of Drinking.

"a young friend of mine was cur
ed of an Unsuitable thirst for liquor,
which had so proshated him that
he was unable to do any business.
He was entirely cured by the use
of Hop Bitters. 1t allayed all that
burning thirst took away the appe-
tite for liquor, made his nerves
steady, and he has remained a sober
and steady man for more than Two
years, and has no desire to return
to his cups know of number of
others that have been cured of
drinking by it."-From a leading

A correspondent of the Montreal
Witness tells the impatient occupant
of new premises how he can obtain
quick returns IN the shape of fruit.
Strawberries set early in spring
will give a small crop the same year.
and if balls of earth are taken with
the roots fair crops may be had in
seven weeks. The second year the
product will be abundant under
good management MuskmelOns
and watermelOns will give ripe fruit
in four months. GoOseberries cur
rents, raspberries and blackkerries
may bear the first season, more the
second and good crops afterwards.
Dwarf pears and dwarf apples bear
early. A nurseryman offered to
plant a dwarf apple tree for an i'm
patient owner and receive ten cents
for each apple borne the first year.
1t bore seven good apples, and the
owner lad to pay seventy cents.
Grapes will begin to bear the second
year, and give more fruit the third.
To these hints we may add that
much may be gained by selecting
varieties known to give crops while
young. Among pears, for example,
the Bartlett, Summer, DOyenne,
Washington and Belle Lucrative
will bear the second or third year
as standards; and the Early Straw
berry, Saps of Wine and some other
apples, as early.

Said Henderson at the breakfast
table the other morning, putting
down his cup, why is this coffee
unlike wine ?" The landEady an
swered quickly, Because it cheers,
but not mebriates," but the boarders
all declared that couldn't be it, not
the cheer part, at any rate Young
Podges, the awful hoy who sits at
the foot of the table, guessed it was
because it wasn't a strong drink.
Fogg, the funny man, tried to con-
Btruct an elaborate pun out of ''suc-
cory suck o. rye"-but failed mis-
erably. Miss Fonshawe, who is a
great Biblical scholar, thought it
was because it did not look red in
the cup, But Henderson shook his
head at each RESPONSE and finally
all had to give it up. Because wine
is Mocha" said Henderson, "but
I'm blest if this coffee is. The
boarding mistress was heard to re-
mark confdentlally to tie cook
after breakfat that she despised that

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune says it is
understood that since the shooting of
the President several members of
the Cabinet have received threaten
ing letters from persons who are
evidently imbued with the belief
that the Government owes them a
living, and that where impOrtuni-
ties have failed threats may succeed.
One member of the Cabinet, in his
mail last Saturday morning, found
a letter which in substance. was as
follows: F'You retain in your de-
parUment that - -. This is
to warn you that unless he is dis
missed before Aug. 1881, you will
be shot down the first chance, un-
less you remove him before the first
day of August. Good-by, for we
mean business. There were GER
tain circumstances connected with
this letter which appeared to render
it possible that the writer might be
discovered, and steps have been
taken in that direction. tits under
stood that suspicion points strongly
to man who was for several years
employed in the department in
question in one of the Southern
States. He finally lost his place in
the public service and has been try
ing for some time to secure a rein
statement. Itis said that he nearly
succeeded before it was discovered
that he was untrustworthy and un-
worthy of appointment, and it now
appears that the fact of his un-
worthiness wasmade known through
an investigation made by the officer
who must be removed before Aug.
1, 1881, as the price of the personal
safety ofthe head of the department
This individual is now in Washing
ton, and, as before mentioned, cir
cumstances recently discovered
strongly indicate that he is the au-
thor of the threatening letter.
Whether sufficient evidence will be
found to warrant his arrest is still
uncertain. rHtl#

THE PRESIDENT AND PUBLIC
AFFA IRIS.

The New York Tribune, in an arti-
Gle on the Presidents condition and
the state of public affairs as connec-
ted with the tenure of Mr.. .Garfeld's,
life, says:
"In respect to public interests
there will be less anxiety than there
was when the President was first in
iured, because the course of Vice
President Arthur has been such as
to give him a much greater share
of public confidence and sympathy.
The Republicans in this State no
longer have a contest among them
selves, but are united and hearty in
the support of the Administration,
and there are no vacant seats in the
Senate to prompt a renewal of strife.
The death of the President, should
that occur, would be terrible calam-
ity, but its public consequences
would probably be much less impOr-
tant than if the calamity had come
two weeks ago. A transfer of official
authority would now be made under
very different circumstances, and
with much les probability of changes
in the course of the different depart
ments. Yet the people will most
fervently pray for the life of the
President this day, for his great
trial has taught them to love the
man with unspeakable affection, and
to realize that his life may be of in
calculable value to the country ;
and their petitions will not be less
fervent because the latest tidings of
his condition give them much hope. .
PUBLISHERS rs. PREA CHERS.
The country editor who advertises
that he will take anything from a
grave$one to a horse-pond, on sub
scriptiOn. hoes a pleasant row when
compared to some preachers. One
in Missouri has just been telling his
congregation that out of the $500
per year salary promised him, he
has received only $40. He has had
to work with a shovel on the road
to buy his clothes, and even the
money he earned by chopping wood
has had to go to the Sunday school.
Hessays he sleeps on straw, eats on
a pine table, cannot afford tea or
coffee, and is at present in need of a
hundred articles which the poorest
of his congregation throw away.
The rule in France is: "Pay the
priest first and the tax man next, F"
and if it was adopted in this country
churches would be no place for
morning maps.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. SATURDAY, JANUARY |, 1881

refute to the extent of our ability the
idea that the Negro is the intellectual
inferior of the white man. This we
hopedto accomplish not more than, nor
even so much, by our own contribu-
tions as by those which we should
CLEAN from Negro intellects through
out the country. We return our
thanks to the public for the generous
patronage and encouragement thus
far received, and we consecrate our
selves anew to the great work of
helping to make the men of our race
the peers of any people on the globe,
morally Intellectually and financially.
An excellent testimonial of your
sympathy with our work will be
subscription to The Leader.

Rev. J. NJ. Townsend, of Richmond,
Ind, instituted proceedings recently
looking to a suit for damages against
the School Board of that city, for re-
fusing to allow colored children to
enter the public schools where Ger
man is taught. To avoid the suit
the Board, we are informed, is max
ing an addition to the colored school
building and will also provide an in
structor in German for it. We are
glad to see our people breaking down
all barriers that prevent them or
their children from entering any in
stitutions supported at public ex-
pense. 1t is, of course, the spirit of
caste that they are fl ,hting, and
Elder Townsend and our Richmond
friends shall have every possible sup
port we can give them in this con-
test against blind and unjust preju-
dice.

On Saturday last, at the "Court," noticed
the Prince of Wales studying English history,
as read through the imaginative spectacles
OF Schiller and Hon. Lewis Wingfeld.
Closely, critically, and enthusiastically, the
PRICE watched the curious page of our
English life that was unfolded before him.
and | wonder if this curious thought struck
him when he went round for his wonted
entr'acte cigarette-that of Henry VIII.
and Elizabeth not one single descendant is
alive, and that he himself is the eleventh in
direct descent from poor, much abused
Marie Stuartl Nay, more. through the
marriage with Frederick of Prussia, the
Princess of Wales has also some Stuart
blood in her veins, and if you think it cut
you will find that with the exception of
Turkey every reigning royal family in
Europe can be traced to the stock of the
beautiful woman who was beheaded in
Fotheringa, something over three centuries
ago. What curious freak Of history it was
that brought the descendants of Sophia and
the beautiful Queen of Bohemia" to reign
in England when the older line was ex-
hausted.
