FUTURE POLITICAL ISSUES.

FUTURE POLITICAL ISSUES.
All the tendencies Of the times point
to political changes. The Republican
party will be compelled to adopt new
political issues; public sentiment de.
mands advanced movement; the public
veal requires it. We call this an age
of progress, and if it be such, then
many of the old-time issues are no bet
ter adapted to the present needs Of the
country than the old implements of
husbandry, which have served their
purpose and been laid aside. There is
an expanding Of thought in all direc-
lions; the true interests of the people,
morally, socially and physically. are be-
coming better understood. The bur.
dens which weigh down humanity need
o be lifted; the causes of poverty
crime and wretchedness must be re.
moved, as far as legislation can accom-.
plish it. Not all the evils that afflict
society can be obviated by the law
making power, but laws have much to
do with the good order and morals of
every community. All laws which
tolerate or countenance wrong-doing
are contrary to the enlightened spirit
Of the age, and are productive of count
less mischief. Laws which license
courses Of evil for money considera-
ton are contrary to all moral codes of
human action.
But while some of the prominent
issues of by-gone years are now obso-
lete, there still remain issues as forci-
BILE to-day as dozen years ago. No
right-thinking man, who comprehends
the situation, can fail to see that the
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States, especially the fifteenth,
has not produced the result expected
of it, for the lack Of that appropriate
legislation which the amendment itself
contemplates. There can be no pacifi-
cation between the North and South so
long as any portion Of citizens, as a
class or race. are denied their political
rights. There are these who counsel
silence in respect to the outrages COM
mitted on lawful voters at Southern
elections; they tell us to bear with
these matters in the interest Of peace.
1t is cowardly for great country like
this to purchase peace at the sacrifice
of the rights of any number Of Ameri-
can citizens. The United States can
never stand before the world as a
model government unless the freedom
of speech, the liberty of the press, and
the right Of suffrage, as intended by the
constitution, shall be enjoyed by all
without interference. Let us therefore
stand by all the issues which have not
yet been consummated, abandon such
as are no longer useful, and adopt such
new ones as tho advanced condition of
society requires.

ARE THE PEOPLE POLITICAL
LY EDUCATED?

There is no lack of common schools
and various institutions Of learning,
bringing the means of education with
In the reach of every one, nevertheless
the political education of the great
mass of the people is defective. Most
men are very well educated in their
business avocations, but have only a
limited knowledge of the affairs of
government, and the national issues
before the country. Our political
machinery of government, in order to
be successfully operated, needs that
the voting people should be we'll in
structed in political matters. In no
other country or government in the
world is there such a necessity for an
educated constituency as in the United
States. Here the people are the SOW
ereign power, and unless that power Is
familiar with the theory and practical
workings of government, how can it
be wisely administered? Thomas JEFF
ferson, one Of the trainers of our form
of government, declared that its sue
cess depended upon the education of
the people. AS an evidence that the
people are imperfectly educated in gov
ernmental matters. it is deemed neces-
sary every year preceding an election
to send men versed in political matters
into every town and village to counsel
the people how to vote. The people
on these occasions usually come to-
gether In considerable numbers to get
instruction on political duties, and to
make up their minds on which side to
throw their influence. If voters were
educ ated as they ought to be, as they
are under obligation as good citizens
to be, and as they have all needful in
formation for being, there would be no
reason for political lecturers travelling
ABOUT the country on the progressed
mission Of enlightening the people.
Another evidence Of the great mass of
ignorance on political matters is that
thousands and tens of thousands
throughout this great country come to
the polls on the morning Of election
with no defined idea how they intend
to Vote; they cast their ballot in what
ever way they happen to be Influenced.
What day Of educational triumph it
will be when the vocation of election
eering politicians shall have gone;
when every citizen entitled to the right
Of suffrage shall come to the polls with
his mind deliberately made up how he
intends to vote.

Fun With a FeZ.
A Tempest on the Nile, but No Lives Lost
 Yet.

From the London Globe.
 A week ago last Saturday His Highness Prince Kiamil Pasha, first cousin of the Khedive, dined at the table d'hote of Shep- herds Hotel. His Highness was the guest of the Baron and Baroness de M. AS matter of course the Egyptian Prince wore his fez during the dinner. At the same table were seated party of English ladies and gentlemen well known in London society, and with them sat an officer of the Grenadler Guards A friend of the English officer had adopted the fez as a head dress, much to the amusement of his friends, among whom the guardsman tried the most to dissuade him from wearing head covering which IS not habitually worn by the better class of for eigners in Egypt, unless they are in the government service During the dinner the gentleman's fez was sent to the guards | man by a mutual friend, for the sake | of causing a little amusement. Upon re- l ceiving it q lady, who sat next the | English officer, suggested that for fun | it should be filled with orange peel l and salad leaves and returned as an extempo- rized pete This was done It is here neces- sary to explain that the Mussulmans regard | the fez as almost a sacred object The fez of | a deceased person is always borne iii the place of honor at Moslem funerals, and to | knock off an Egyptians fez is the direst affront that can be offered. Immediately af- | ter dinner the Baron de M sent his card l to tho guardsman demanding an apology, or the alternative for having, by trihing with | a tez, gratuitously and publicly insulted His l Highness Prince Kismil Pasha while His Highness was his (Baron.de M-'s) guest. | The guardsman at once rendered a full and ample apology, stating that he had no inten- ton of giving offense to anyone, and that the fez episode was merely a little bit of friendly amusement
 and had no reference whatever to His Highness Prince Kiamil Pasha or to Baron de M. This apology was accepted. The same evening there a ball at the opera. l During this ball the Baron dAtzel, an Aus
 trian nobleman and friend of Barond M, and who, with the Baroness d'Atzel had also been present at the table d'hote during the fez episode, addressed the British guards man. and in German, and afterwards ID | French neither of which languages the l guardsman understands, called him ''lache'
 and ''poltron" for having rendered an apol
 ogy to Baron de M. The Baron d dAtzel
 after a moments delay, went to the box of
 Sir Edward Malet, and informed Her Majes
 tvs representative that he had publicly pro
 claimed Mir. -, an officer of the Queens
 Guards, to be ''lache" and "poltron." Sil
 Edward told the guardsman not to take any
 further steps in the matter, but to leave it tC
 him (Sir Edward) to arrange. A Cour

THE GENERAL RAILROAD LAW

THE GENERAL RAILROAD LAW.
 If there are any who think that the State Senate was not inclined to do the fair thing by any legitimate railroad scheme we advise them to pay little attention to the genel al railroad law which passed the Legislature This law provides that any railroad organized under it may take land within two years after the approval Of the location by the conmis- sioners. A company must begin the construc- tion of its road and expend thereon ten per cent. of its capital stock within two years af- ter its articles of association are filed, and must finish the road within five years or for felt its corporate rights under the law, ex- cept that the railroad commissioners may ex- tend the time for the beginning of operations and the expending of the ten per cent. for period not exceeding two years in case the company has been prevented by litigation or other opposition from complying with the navigable waters is given whenever the con- pany has filed with the Secretary of State a sworn statement that there has been expend- ed in construction a sum equal to ten thou sand dollars for each mile of their road, be- tween either terminal point of the road and the location of the proposed bridge Any company may issue bonds and execute mort gages to an amount not exceeding one half of the sum actually expended upon said rail road, and provided also that the whole amount of bonds outstanding at any one time shall not exceed one half of the actual cost of the construction of said road. No other railroad company can hold the stock or bonds of any road organized under this law except by special consent of the Legislature.
 One of the most important provisions of the new law is that contained in section G. which reads as follows: 'Every railroad company, after its line of railroad shall have been located, approved and established, may take land for additional tracks, turnouts and freight and passenger stations and depots in the manner provided by law for the taking of lands by railroad companies; also for the purpose of supplying water for the use of its engines and stations
 It will be seen that this law gives much liberty to railroad companies as is consistent with the rights of individuals and the State Under it those who desire to build a railroad in good faith will have no difficulty in work ing.

Sala. There is an old saying that where there is 8 council of war there will be no fighting, and this maxim proved true in the present case. During the session of the l Court of Honor" however, the guardsmsn, accompanied by friend, entered the dining room of the Khedival club. The Baron d'Atzel, who was seated at a table, as soon as he saw the two Englishmen enter the room, said in loud tone of voice to the waiter, Do you allow man who hss been publicly proclaimed lache and Q poltron to sit in the dining room Uf this clUbs It seems to me that all Englishnen in Cairo are not in the habit of resenting insults 7" The gusrds- man replied that however glad he might bs to horsewhip the Baron d'AtZel, he could not do so, as his affairs were being arranged by Court of Honor and that he was consequent ly not free to put his wish into execution" The two English gentlemen then withdrew Shortly afterwards the guardsman, accom- panied by MT. A. Ohphant, an Englishmsn, and knight of the ledger and the pen, entered the club when MT.

HECKER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A. FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal SS Courier:
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States sgoyernment with seventy-fve thousand (75,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis- cuit) than either the "ROya1'' or the other cream tartar baking powders winch he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com misSiOners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 It twill thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder submitted to an impartial test its superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in it's favor is fully sustained.

The six torpedo boats recently ordered by the German Admiralty from the Weser ship yard at Bremen, and deliverable within four months, are small vessels, costing, with their armament. about $5O,O ,OOO each. At present the German navy list only contains three tor pedo boats and four vessels for laying sub marine mines, being in this respect greatly inferior to England, Russia and even Den mark. According to the Admiralty plans there are to be built altogether ten large and twelve small torpedo boats. and, besides, nine reserve gunboats of the second class are to be constructed in manner enabling their use for torpedo service.

It appears that wheat is no longer king in Minnesota, and that farmers are learning from experience that rotation, both of croE s and general products, is wise and fruitful plan. Last year 23 Minnesota counties showed a decrease in acreage of wheat aggre- gating 177, ,229 acres, which, at the average of 1880 tosthe acre, would give total of D. 357, 145 bushels This loss was made good by the counties in the northwestern portion of the State, but still it is evidence that the idea of rotation in crops has seized upon the farmers of southern Minnesota, that they are not slaves to the one kind of product idea and that the greatest wheat-producing sec- ton on earth'' has passed on still further to the n-rth. The farmers of southern Minne- sota who have decreased their wheat crops have found money making substitutes in corn, dairies and creameries, stock and graz ing farms and, last but not least, in flax rais- ing
