Our board of trade at their
last business meeting made a wise
and most important move in
the right direction by taking steps toward
securing manufacturing enterprises for
our village. Manufactures, now that we
have secured ample competitive transporta-
ton facilities, are the most necessary en-.
terprises for the stable and permanent
growth of our wide awake village. They
are acknowledged as the most important
factors in promoting substantial and pro-
gressive advancement, in that they con
tribute in every way toward material
prosperity. A manufacturing establish
ment adds to the prosperity of city by
increasing its wealth. adding to its popu-
latiun, to its business interests ard COM
mercial importance. 1t will bring CAPT
tai among US, and its investment will Gre.
ate demand for labor, increase the value
of properly, promote trade and advance
business in every respect. Hence too
much Importance cannot be placed upon
the necessity of making strenuous and un-
ceasing efforts TO secure that which will
unquestionably contribute so surely to the
permanent progress of Morris. and if our
energetic citizens will but assist the board
in their efforts to secure the future impor-
lance and greatness of our village, we may
confidently expect to reap a rich reward.
If We leave our town to rely wholly upon
the trade of tie country tributary, after
having done Sd much to place it on Il
standing with the leading railroad centres
of the state, a grave error will be made, as
we have worked hard and patiently to Sc
cure the benefits of competition in rail
road rates now assured US, and hence if
we relax our endeavors, we leave our work
at a point of commencement, and derive
really but a minimum fraction of tie pos
sible benefits. This is the hour of our
opportunity, and 10 calmly rest upon our
oars, when We have hut pulled our boat
clear Of the breakers, would be folly, as
we can but expect, in that event, to drift
back among the shoals and undertows,
and be wrecked upon the reefs. We are
now upon the high sea of prosperity, with
ample sea room about us; if the haven of
prosperity is 10 be reached, man the oars,
and by Il long pull strong pull and pull
altogether, we can alone reach the port,
speedily and with surety. To wait for
some lucky wind to watt US into the har
Dor, while we lazily remain inactive,
would be hazardous in the extreme, as we
would risk everything and possibly allow
some keen and energetic competitor ample
time and opportunity to distance US in the
race and gain the coveted prize.

The Attitude Of China.

During the discussion of the Chinese
question it was asserted that the govern
ment of the empire did not regard with
displeasure the proposed American pol
icy regarding its subjects. This was
not thought to be improbable, for the
Chinese policy of excluding foreigners
from that country is notorious, and it
might reasonably be supposed that no
objections could be made on its part to a
similar policy of other nations. 1t is
now said that the Chinese government
will not accept without protesting the
action of the United States, although il
will not go to the length of abrogating q
treaty which it considers already
broken by the other party to it.
In other words, China will accept the
situation gracefully. Recognizing the
fact that she has everything to gain,
and nothing to lose by intercourse with
the western nations, she will make the
best OF her opportunities to acquire such
mechanical and other knowledge as
these nations, the United States particu-
larry, possess. This is shown in the in
tention to return to this country the
fifty students who were recalled from
their studies in our schools and col
leges.

In Great Britain marriage with the
sister of deceased wife is prohibited
Several times since the death of the
Princess Alice the repeal of the law has
been agitated, it is said for the purpose
of enabling the Princess Beatrice to be
married to the widower. The fact that
the Prince of Wales and the Royal
Duke, his brother, have taken a great
interest in the question, even to the ex,
tent of going to the House of Lords in
order to vote for bills legalizing such
marriages, would seem to lend color to
the supposition that the Queen desires
the repeal of the existing law. The
House of Lords, however, has refused
invariably to pass any such bill.

A Miraculous Cure.

For q month past the press of the East
has been devoting much attention to the
case of James Coleman, negro boy, OF
Richmond, Virginia, and member Of
the congregation of the Rev. Mr.. JAS
per, the clergyman who found in the
account of Joshua's making the sun to
stand still refutation of the ordinarily
received theory concerning the move
ments of the heavenly bodies. The boy
Coleman was supposed to have been
stricken dumb for lying. He was re-
garded as modern Ananias, and was
expelled from church membership as one
whom the Almighty had singled out
for q noteworthy punishment. The
story was believed, especially among the
the devout negroes, and the awful warn
ing was held up to sinners in all the
length and breadth of the land. For
tunately Coleman was the sole example
Of the kind, for, were the punishment to
become common, it would involve the
almost complete disuse of oral language
throughout the country.
At length the boys mother, in the
hope that science might relieve him,
brought him to a physician. Electricity
was applied, and, very shortly, the
dumb boy remarked to the healer, ''for
Gods sake, Doctor, stop shooting them
handles !" and a cure was effected
Whether this boy was alone in the per-
petration of this peculiar practical joke,
or whether others connived at the decep-
tion, it is, perhaps, not worth while to
enquire; the negroes, however, are firm
believers in his dumbness and that a
cure also was brouget about in mystic
rious and providential manner.

Life in Arizona.

There was dance at Calabasas, last
Sunday night. Ordinarily this would be
an event of little moment, but on this
particular occasion it calls for more than
passing mention. 1t was heterogeneous
gathering composed principally of
American men and Mexican women
There were three white women in the
party, recent arrivals from Tucson, and
of course they were the pets. The Mex
lean women danced and enjoyed them
selves thoroughly, but among the Amer
leans of the same sex there was bitter
rivalry. The cause of the difficulty is
unknown but certain it is that it existed,
and if one of them wanted to waltz, an
other was sure to call for a schottische,
while the third had her heart set ON
quadrille. AS may be expected, each of
them was escorted by cavalier and, as
a consequence, the cavalier was q warm
partisan of the hobbies and foibles of his
lady. Under these circumstances, the
position of prompter was not an envia-
bic one. Sally's cavalier" would call
out, ''give us waltz" and Jennie's
''bully boy" would reply, give us
rest; do you want us dancin waltzes all
night Turn the music loose ON a quad
rifle and see us skip" AT this stage
Nettie's ''feller" would chip in; "to h-ll
with your waltzes and quadrilles; let's
sail through polka. When it is re-
membered that the three most
estimable desperadoes in the town
were the partners and partisans
of the girls, the position of the prompter
can be best understood. He finally an
nounced that conceiving it impossible to
unite the dancers on any one thing, he
would take the reins in his own hand,
and ''run the racket" to suit himself. He
therefore announced quadrille. Scarce
ly was the word out of his mouth, when
Jim Smith, Jennie's STRIKER" drew his
pistol and commenced to pump lead into
the prompter. The latter lived for about
half minute and was borne from the
room corpse. His name was Harring-
ton and he was a barkeeper by profess
sion. Ere the dead body was well out
of the room the dance was resumed and
continued with unusual vigor. Mr..
Smith had everything his own way and
nobody disputed his authority on the
premises. Next morning one of his
rivals of the night before made the as
sertion that the prompter did not get a
fair deal. The opinion thus expressed
was conveyed to Mr.. Smith and he went
in quest of the detractor A shooting
match ensued, in which Smith was again
victorious, the other party coming out
of the contest with one arm in a dilapi-
dited condition. At last accounts Mr..
Smith was prominent and respected
citizen of Calabasas, with nothing to mar
his pleasures, sports or pastimes. -

Concerning Voluntary COntribu-
tiOns.

The matter of voluntary contribu-
tons" is to be Investigated in the SEN
ate. Senator Pendleton has given no
tice that, at an early day, he intends to
call up his resolution of inquiry into the
recent circular Of the National Repub-
lican Congressional Committee. Sena-
tors Hale and Conger have been selected
to defend the action of the committee,
the latter probably because no man in
the Senate has SO thorough a practical
knowledge of the value of such contribu-
tions. Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska,
who, though Republican, appears not
to have become ''metalized" as some of
his colleagues, will inquire, it is said, by
what authority the statement of the cir
cular that no objections to voluntary
contributions would be made in any Of
fetal quarter was made.
The foreshadowed defense of the COM
mittee contains in itself q confession of
weakness. In fact they do not pretend
to have morally any defense, but will
plead that there is no law forbidding
political assessments of government Off
Gals. They will assert that the law
which did exist was attached to bill
for an appropriation, and, therefore, ex-
pired with the term OF that bill. With
characteristic boldness the Republican
managers abandoned the flimsy pretense
of voluntary contributions, and with
Characteristic effrontery they intend to
defend and seek to justify corrupt prac-
tees.
The pluck and wonderful vitality of
the Democratic minority in the Senate,
almost uninterruptcdly during the last
twenty years, are guarantees of the
good fight which Democratic Senators
will make on this occasion; but they
will be outnumbered, unless Senator
Van Wyck and others act with them.
We read that in Sodom there was one
upright man; let us hope that two or
three will be found on the Republican
side of the Senate of the United States
too honest to sanction by their votes
the corruption openly advertised by the
National Panrhl;een Congressional
Committee. The people, however, will
be grateful to the party which. triumph
ant or in defeat, has upheld ever the
purity of elections, and will show by its
verdict that the principles promulgated
by Thomas Jefferson, and advocated by
his disciples, are those which underlie
the prosperity and safety of the nation.

THE explanation of the Republican
victory in Oregon is to be found in the
Standard, of Portland. We had sur
missed the truth, but preferred waiting
until the proofs were forthcoming before
we alluded to the matter. Except in
the city of Portland. Oregon is Demo-
cratic, but throughout the State the
power of voluntary contribution" was
too great. There is no registry law in
Oregon; and not only were votes bought
openly and shamelessly, but men not cit
liens were voted by the Republican man
ayers. To a reasonable extent we can
in California guard against the voting
of men not entitled to vote, and our adj
versaries will not be able to do very
much in that line. The amount of money
from voluntary contributions how
ever, is practically unlimited, andmoney
will be poured like water into this State.

If the Geographic report of the con-
duct of the Mexican General Reyes to-
ward the rangers under Captain Ross,
who had followed some Apache indians
across the frontier and into Mexico, be

accordance with international law or not,
he is certainly disgrace to his PROBES

ideas ON the subject of international
