The southern Democratic journals are
displaying far more liberal spirit In as
cussing current political questions than
Journals Of like character IN the North:
And this iair.dealing impulse is supported
by an intelligent handling OF political mat
tiers, both local and national, which 1t
would be well II their northern brothers
would both notice and initiate. Intelli-
gence and courage, a hospitabie nature
and a quick-to-resentmen impulse, with
n bearing ever gentlemanly and a conduct
ever courteous, have always marked the
true southerner. Now, we have evidence
constantly deepening that spirit Of Jus.
tice, strong and pure, forms no small part
OF the character OF the people born south
Of Mason and Dixon's line.-BoStoa Ere

Mr.. JONES, of Nevada, Is not the only
Republcan congressman who has LETT some
pride Of race. Mr.. MCCLURE, OF Ohio, IN
the House Of Representatives last Tuesday
ridiculed the idea Of the sentimentalists,
who looked upon this country as vast me-
nagerie-a great chronological animal show
In which all races Of men, mixed and I'M
mixed, civilized and barbarous, warlike
and unwarlike, homogeneous and polyga-
nous. black and white and yellow, dwelt
together in harmony.

The Mississippi.

We must again tell our esteemed contem-
porary the Cincinnati Commercial that it
makes itself appear exceedingly ill-informed
when It attacks the best schemes for the
improvement OF the Mississippi river and
defends the worst. We reminded it some
time ago that the outlet system would re-
suit in making swamp Of all Louisiana.
Captain EADs explained this point to n
committee Of Congress on Tuesday last.
He referred to the relation existing between
the velocity Of the current and the amount
Of sediment which the water is able to hold
in solution. us at the bottom Of the dis
cussion. Can't the Commercial understand
that swiftly-moving water does not deposit
its contents az readily as slowly-moving
watery-and that to open outlets for the
Mississippi would be to reduce still further
the rapidly OF the movement Of the water 2
The moment leyee breaks, the water be-
low the break runs more slowly in proper
tion TO the quantity Of water let out of the
river, and thus deposits vast stratum Of
mud, as does also the water that passes
through the outlet. Here are two things
asserted by Captain EADs:
"The second, he asserted, relates 10 the
slope OF the stream, of the surface, not the
bottom, and the third to the friction caused
by the bed Of the stream. He showed that
as the river Is widened the friction is in
creased, and ~ ii Is narrowed the friction
Is decreased and that with diminution
OF the current sedimentary deposit in
creases; and that wherever there is an out
let the amount Of water running below it
has less velocity"
No wonder Congress listens to Captain
EADs when such papers as the Commercial
do not understand these things.

W. Situation At Other Points.

plrrspuRdu, June 1.-This morning the
warfare between labor and capital began
In dead earnest. The fires in every iron
mill In this city, with one exception, have
been taken out and the mills shut down.
Tho exception Is tho Union iron mill Of
Carnegie Bros. K Co., who signed tho scale
Inst night. They will continue 10 run,
having contracts on hand that must be
filled. This is generally considered bad
break and calculated to weaken the lines
OF the manufactures. 1t is one Of the largest
iron mills hero and has capacity
thlrty.iivc thousand tons a year. The
steel mills arc running as usual. Most Of
them have signed the scale, but rs they
don't employ many puddlers 1t is not
thought that their signing will havc my
effect on the situation. 1t is expected that
most Of the sheet mills will sign within Il
few days. @a gnN
It Is generally believed that the strike
will not be Of long duration. Those mills
which haye suspended operations will
take advantage Of the condition OF affairs
to mako needed repairs.
