IN a CORNER.
From the Savannah Morning Ne

FROM the savannah Morning News.
Journals of the high protective school
are worried not little at the suggestion
that as matter of equity a tariff: should
be put upon foreign immigration in order
that the American workingmen be pro-
tected from "the pauper labor Of Europe"
1t is point they cannot well get over. or
under, or across. The Boston Commercial
Bulletin endeavors to wriggle out of it by
simply observing that this method of pro-
lection is contrary to the spirit of our in
situations. Whereupon the New York
Commercial Bulletin says; Just SCI 1t
is in perfect harmony with the spirit of
our institutions to tax the laborer and
artisan for pretty much everything they
consume, all the way from 20 to 100 per
cent in order to protect various home
monopolies; but don't you see, when the
laborer and artisan ask like measure of
protection for the only thing that they
have to sell in the home market, their
labor, it is against the spirit of our in
stitutions,' These writer's forget that the
spirit of our institutions is the spirit of.
liberty, and that class legislation and ex
elusive privileges are not part of that
esprit. The theory of the constitution
is that all men are equal before the law,
but the protective ideas flies right in the
face of that theory, and by creating a
favored monopolist class, it ends by easy
stages to transform our republican sys-
tenn into an oligarchy."

JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT

An election occurs in June next for
judge of the Supreme Court of this State
in the Fifth district, composed of the coun-
ties of Knox, Warren, Henderson, Mercer
Henry, Stark, Peoria. Marshall, Putnam
Bureau, La Sale Grundy and Woodford
to succeed Judge Craig, whose term of of
fee then expires. The general sentiment
of the district seems to be towards Judge
Craig's reelection, who it is said has sgni
fed his willingness to accept the position
for another term if the people of the dis
trict so desire
There are several aspirants in the district
for the office, but so far as any expression
in regard to them is given in the newspa-
pers their claims seem to rest mostly upon
the ground that they are supporters of
some political party, and their friends have
gone so far as to call a political convention
for the purpose of making a partisan
nomination of candidate for the position,
thus endeavoring to make the election of
this high judicial Office a partisan ques-

ENFORCE IT.

Would it not be a good idea for the
prohibitionists of Iowa, who are claiming
so loudly for the constitutional amend
ment, to show by a rigid enforcement of
the present laws of that state, that this
further legislation would not be a farce
and a failure? The present Iowa prohibi-
ton law is good, strong enough, but is
not enforced; what assurance have we
that this proposed legislation would be
better

Magic photographs, in which
the image is developed by tobacco
smoke, have been lately supplied
in various tobacco-shops on
the European continent. A
cigarette mouthpiece is provided
and with it some white photogra'
phic papers about the size of 6
postage-stamp. One of the latter
is placed over a lateral orifice in
the mouthpiece, and a sliding
piece drawn over it. Aftersmok

An old Dnrky'- Ynrn.

Charles Long, an intirm negro,
reached this city tonight and was
given shelter by the police au-
thorities. lie tells a remarkable
story. He was born a slave, and
was owned by George w. Bear
field, near Richmond, at the time
that city SURRENDERED. Bearfeld
had several hundred slaves, to
whom he represented that if they
would accompany him to the
Gold Coast Imeaning California;,
he would provide for their future.
Once at sea, they were placed in
irons and sold as slaves in Cuba.
Of the original number only he
and n brother succeeded in escap-
ing, after sixteen years of servi-
Jude. The man is broken down
in health, is branded upon the
head and arms, and upon his per-
son are marks Of brutal treat
ment. Part of the time while a
Cuban slave he was scullion on a
Spanish man-of-war, and the bal
ance of the time he worked on a
rice plantation near st. Juval.
His Cuban owner was called
Vanstell Thinkenburr, and he
met him in New Orleans shortly
after his escape. The negro has
had a very strange experience,
else he is a very gifted liar.-In-

OVER II
a BoRtman Rescued by Indians After
n PeriIous Trip.

Two men, one named Murray
and the other Louis -, left
Umatilla in a boat to descend the
Columbia. Murray was well used
to the handling off boat, but
could not swim, whereas his I'M
fortunate companion was a pow.
erful swimmer, but totally una
ware of the dangerous nature of
the rapids, and it was not until
they were in full power of the
stream that they became cogni-
zant ofthe dangerof their position.
Both men made strenuous efforts
to steer the boat safely over the
stream, but were quite unable to
control her against so powerful
q rush of water. Suddenly a huge
foaming billow struck their frail
craft and capsized her. Louis
Immediately struck out for the
shore, but was sucked under by
the current and disappeared never
to rise again, whereas Murray
trusted only to the boat, to which
he clurg with that energy which
only a drowning man in his NOR
tai agony is able to put forth.
Again and again was he thrown
from his hold, and repeatedly did
he sink, but always coming to the
surface and regaining his hold.
At last he managed to get on the
bottom of the boat, which being
fiat he was enabled, to stand up
right on it and jump to large
rock close by, where he lay pant
ing and exhausted for a consider
able time. As soon as his strength
admitted he rose to his feet, and
with all the power Of his lungs
hailed the shore, andwas hearb by
some Indians camped ON the Wash
ington side. He says he cannot
understand how his voice was
heard above the laundering of the
torrents. They came at once to
his assistance, swimming the
stream and mounting the rocks.
One young Indian threw him a
rope, which he passed around his
body, and by a dint of great exer-
ton on the part of the other Indi-
ans he was safely landed. They
at once explored the rocks and
shore in search of his companion.
but without Gee The boat
was caught and brought to the
bank, but was much smashed.
Though Murray saved his life he
lost his clothes, blankets and about
$500 in greenbacks, which were
with his clothes. He was on his
way to visit his mother, who lives
in Los Angeles, California, whom
he had not seen for several years,
The name and relatives OF the un-
fortunate man Louis are not
known, but it is believed he was
OF German parentage.

handed pay for extra weight.
