BORDER TROUBLES

We hear a great deal of arrange
ments being made to sLbdue the
Apaches. The Generals are flying
around like kites, but some how
they manage to evade the trails.
The hour of delivcrance is always in
the distance. 1t is never at hand.
there may be deep laid schemes and
military skill in this roundabout
way of extcrminating savnges, but
we fail to see it. To plain mind
it would seem that the best way to
solve the border troubles weuld be
to pursue the revolted Indians and
whip them into obedience. 1t is rot
denied that General Crook can get
on the track of the hostile Apachcs,
and it ought not to be difficult 10
uvertake them. They are leaving
wherever they go a trail of blood.
Murdered settlers :trew the hill
sides. Burned and desolated homes
are scattered over the plains. They
appear to be travelling in circle
and kill whomsoever they meet.
That the public patience is worn
out with this state of affairs is not
surprising. The people of Arizona
feel that something ought to be
done. The dispatches which tell us
that concerted movements have been
arranged between the American and
Mexican troops are all very well,
but where are the concerted moves
ments? We have heard nothing
from the commands that have gone
in pursuit. " hat has become of
them? Have they done anything?
Have any Indians been captured or
slain? These are pertinent questions,
and the people of the border have a
right TO have them answered in some
explicit way. So far as we are able
to discern, the Indian question is no
nearer an adjustment than it was
two weeks ago. This is condition
of affairs that ought not to exist

Chinese Labor.

Chinese labor is becoming some
thing of drug on the mrrket. The
passage of the hmm. grafton Act did
not have the anticipated effect of
giving ali the Chinese on American
soil steady work and high wages.
Since the check imposed on the sup
ply of Chinese labor, it has not be-
come scarce or valuable liz the mar
ket, but, owing to a number of
causes that were hardly anticipated,
there seems TO be less demand for it
than ever before Chinese are being
di charged from the mines, and fail
to find employment when they flock
to the city. Ii is said shat there are
more of them walking about unem-
ployed in San Francisco at present
than ever before. A few weeks ago
the heaviest contr' ctor on the North
ern Pacific stated in an interview at
Poitlaad that he did not consider
Chinese labor really cheap, and th at
he WINS satisfied he could employ
Scandinavians with more profit
The latest setback received by the
little brown man." and one of the
worst, is the announcement that On
derdonk, the contractor who is build
ing the western end of the Canadian
Pacific. after n fair trial of the Chi
nese, has concluded to dispense with
them and employ white men, of
whom he has already engaged 1000

GEORGIA DEMOCRACY speaks out
ON the tariff question to the effect
that 1.-THE State of Georgia cannot
be carried by any party, under any
leadership, in 1884, upon a free
trade platform The signs in the
political horizon are portentIous, and
that long looked for day of which
the eloquent Haines, of South Caro-.
lima, dreampt and spoke, "when
there shall be no north, no south, no
east, no west" is, politically consld-
cred, fast approaching. The tariff
question is now prominently before
the public and is sure to revolution
i7e the great political parties that
have for more than fifty years been
the guiding elements of the govern
ment. The day of their usefulness
is past; the great questions tnat
brought them into existence and
which taey were to work out have
ceased to exist. For number of
years each party has floated like
cork on the political waters, without
aay definite anchorage, without any
pCiat-l OBJECT, except TO finish up

THE fall election in Ohio promises
another Democratic victory. The
temperance question will again be
the leading feature of the campaign
in that state, not perhaps in SO posi-
tive form as in the campaign of
last fall, but nevertheless in q form
that will be highly objectionable to
the great mass of foreign population
of that state. Restrictive measures
are now sought while prohibitive
measures were put forward in the
last election The intense feeling
melted by the measures of last fall
will reflect on the coming contest
and be no small element in the fail
ure of the adoption of restrictive
measures now sought. The great
mass of American people are en-
phaticallly conservative, and there
can be no greater blunder made
in securing the success of great
cause than to at once spring upon
them the most radical and contrast
cd measure. 1t is net improbable
that the people of Ohio nigh, have
achieved some mild restrictive meas
ure last fall, but the cart was har-
messed up before the horse, and the
most radical change at once at
tempted. There is no political par
ty in the world big enough and
strong enough to carry matter of
that kind, and the failure Of the Re.
publicans 10 do SO last full was
merely a natural consequence which
would have resulted had there been
but one political party in that State.
The heat and animosiIy of last fall
will beat the more conservative
measures of this coming fall, and
Ohio Democracy will achieve an
other victory.

TON WITH THE WORLD,
THE BEST ARRIES OFF
THE HONORS.

At the great Centennial Exhibi tion Of
1876. the leuding products of all the
branches of the world industry were as
eembled at Philadelphia. To carry off a
prize in the face of that tremendous com
petition was a task of no ordinary diffinl-
ty. Inventions and preparations for the
alienation of r ain and the cure OF disease
were present in the greatest possible VA
riely. representing the skill and the pro-
foundest study of the age, and it may be
of vital Importance to you, personally, to
know that the highest and only medal
given to rubber porous pla>ters, was
awarded to the manufacturers Of BEN

j H. THOMPSON, A. NJ, NJ. D., Wash

The decision was afterwards confirmed
by the medical jury at the lat Paris Elk
position. Knowing the value OF such high
aud unbiased testimony, the m 'dical pro
fession, both IN the United States and in
Europe, quickly threw aside the old, slow
acting plasters they had been using, and
adopted Benson'S in their regular prac-
tice. That physicians and surgeons of
the broadest repui alton did this, distinct
ly proves the intrinsic merit of the ar 1cle-
1t is no more than just to add that the
average physician of to-day is not dom1-
mated by the prejudices which retarded
the progress and modified the successes
of his predecessors of not more than twen-
ty-five years ago. He accepts hints from
all quarters and adopts demonstrated
healing agents wherever he finds them.
The right of Benson's Capcine Porous

TELECRAPHIC


ST. LOUIS, April 17.-The Globe
Democrat will say tomorrow that the
ship railway across the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec has not been abaudon-
ed, as many supposed. EadS, its
protector, has returned home. From
him it is learned that the work is
being vigorously prosecuted and
that the mammoth railroad will b
finished long before the Panama
canal is opened. A strong syndi-
cate is formed for the purpose of be-
ginning the work of making the adj
ditional surveys. Four parties of
engineers are already in the field. A
large force of laborers and mechan-
les are engaged in the construction.
The neighborhood of Minafitlan, on
the Coatzacoalcos river has been Sc
lccted as the terminus on tie Gulf
coast. The survey of the northern
terminal sections has been filed with
the government of Mexico and APP
proved by its officers. E. L. Cor
thell, who was Ead's chief engineer
in the construction of the MISSISSIPPI
pi river jetties, is chief engineer.
The road will be constructed to car
ry ships and cargoes of five thousand
tons gross weight. Eads has not the
slightest doubt that the road will be
open before the end OF 1887.
