ticket for 1884, it bearing the name
of the Rev. Jonathan Blanchard, of
Illinois, for president, and John A.
Conant, of Connecticut, vice president.
The platform of the association de-
mands the abolition of the electoral
college, and a direct vote for presi-
dent and vice president, the recogni-
tion of the Sabbath, the prohibition
of the manufacture or sale of intoxi.

charters of all secret lodges granted
by our federal or state legislatures.

Mr.. CHARLES A. DANA, of the
New York Sun, has been interviewed,
as was stated the other day,
in California, and he thus gives his
views as to coming political events.
He says he is satisfied the Dem
ocrats can safely come before the
country as advocates of tariff for
revenue only, and for internal rev.
enue taxation and liquor tax sufii-
cient to pay the pension laws passed
by the last congress. Mr.. Dana is not
satisfied as to whether the working
people have been alienated from the
Republican party, or if the Ohio cleo
tion will be controlled by such in
fluences. In regard to prominent
men spoken of for the presidential
nomination it may be well to repeat
in substance what he says:
The Democratic party has available
presidential candidates in all parts of
the country. Mcdonald, of Indiana,
is spoken of; Hendricks has friends;
Bayard has warm friends; Bayard
has probably more personal adj
mirers than any other man in the
party. Palmer, of Illinois, is
strong. Thurman is one of the ablest
men in the country. If Ohio unites
in his support at the Democratic con-
yention his nomination is assured.
Tilden's friends are not discussing his
nomination. | am his friend, and am
not aware of such discussion. If Til
den were fifteen years younger, and
had corresponding physical strength,
there would be no doubt of his nomi-
nation. don't think the western
states will insist on naming the
| candidate. My desire for success
| predominates over every other
feeling. Butler, in my opinion. has no
chance for the nomination. 1t wonld
be too hard dose for the southern
states. see no prospect for a recon-
cilliation between the Stalwarts and
Half-breeds. They hate each other
worse than they hate the Democrats.
Blaine's chances are poorer than in
1876 or 1880. Arthur don't desire re-
nomination. He is gentleman, a
good fellow, and has made better
president than any other man bas done
| similarly situated. Grant hasn't a
| ghost of a chance. Pendleton has no
originality, no enterprise"
Mr.. Dana further said he did moi
believe the civil service commission
could accomplish anything, and that
Irish revolutionists' opinions would
| not influence the elections. Evident
| ly heis satisfied of Democratic vic
tory. provided the leaders do not de
ceive the people, which is hardly pos
| sible under the condition of genera

OF THE nineteen routes specified in
the Indictment against the star
reuters, it has been proven that they
were contracted for at $30,631, and
were then expedited to 1856, ,404; and
no reason has been shown for this in
crease except to put money in the
pockets of the contractors. The fail
ure of defendants to cross-eXamine
Walsh after his most damaging testi-
mony was significant of their guilt
Brady had been revenue inspector
with a salary of $500, then assistant
postmaster-general with Il salary OF
$500, and yet in 1880 he was the
owner of $24OOOO in Chattanooga
railway stock besides other stocks,
and five newspapers, and was at the
same time living in Washington in a
style befitting prince with royal
revenues.

If the regents would not make OF
the university board a star chamber
council their course would be more
popular and the cause of the uniyers-
ity would be advanced. If the pro-
ceedings of this body be unfit for the
public to know, which it is presumed
is not the case, then different set of
regents are needed. The STATES
MAN reporter and the report
ers of all the other pa
pers have been denied admission to
the sittings of the board. Why this
is so an interested public would be
pleased to know. The newspapers
are the channels through which the
people expect all information regard
ing public affairs, and they are en-
titled to know every deliberation and
act of this board.

IT may be expected that the Irish
question will disturb the English gov
ernment until radical reforms are
granted the Irish people. 1t has been
the studied purpose of the govern
ment to prevent Ireland from having
proper representation in parliament,
and until equal representation is
granted the Irish, it may be expected
will be in a rebellious state. The
British house of lords represents ex-
clusively the aristocratic landed in
terest and the established church.
The house of commons has 652
members, but only ten of them
represent the tenant farmers
and mechanic class. Two hundred
and seventy-fve of the members be-
long to the patrician class, being con-
nected by birth or marriage with the
peerage; 40 belong to the army and
navy, and $50 of them are merchant
princes. In the commons, Ireland,
which has a population of 5,736,214.
returns only 103 members. England
and Wales return 493 members, with
a population of 25,968, ,286, and they
are allowed ten times the number of
votes that Ireland has. In place of
votes, Ireland is given between forty
and fifty thousand armed police and
soldiers. Who can wonder at there
being even dynamite plots.

ALONG with the numerous immor-
al epidemics with which the country
is plagued, none is more noticeable
than a widespread disposition to
SANDER women. Numerous are the
cases reported from all over the coun-
try, in which these offended people
have sought to vindicate their honor
by appealing to the law, and in many
cases they have been thus protected
and lessons in manners have been
taught those who have DETAINED them,
Woman enjoys more freedom now than
in times gone by; she has bettered
position before the law, is allowed and
accepts remuneratiye honorable en-
ployment, has the avenues to educa-
tion opened to her as to man; and,
when she accepts her new position,
must she therefore be met with base
ISLANDERS. No true gentleman ever
descends to such base condition.
Those who hand her name about
on the street corners and in
the resorts of loafers refuse
honorable employment. In truth, they
are denied it, while honest, intelligent
women get employment. They are
the vultures of society, preying on
whatever comes in their way, even
honest women. No tendency of the
times is more despicable, more deplor-
able than this. 1t has grown until a
lady can scarcely go upon the streets
without being basely commented upon
by the sidewalk loafers to whom
this employment is most congenial.
1t is the duty of good men and of the
law and of all the agencies of public
opinion to take cognizance of this vile
offense lest it grow and spread until
no woman's good name will be safe
from those attacks which she herself
cannot punish. The sentiment of
lofty respect and chivalric devotion
to the sanctity Of woman's character
should be inculcated and enforced by
every agency which can contribute to

THE Iowa supreme court has de-
clared the prohibitory amendment
null and void. The court decides that
it has jurisdiction and can adjudicate
legislative acts. The contrary was
vigorously contended for by counsel
for the Prohibitionists. The prohib-
itory act, as passed by the Iowa legis-
lature, and as entered upon the jour-
mails of ths two houses, did not show
the terms of the amendment to be
submitted to the people; this being
contrary to the provisions Of the con-
stitution of the state, the court con-
cludes that, as the records are the ul-
innate and conclusive proof of pro-
ceedings of the Legislature, its action
must be guarded by those records, and
it must obey the constitution. This is
an unwelcome decision for the Prohi-
bitionists, especially at time when
their cause is wavering because of
lack of public confidence in its efficacy.
The high license law is getting the
best of prohibition.

A Type-setting Machine.
Hartford Courant. ]

At last the Farham type-setter,
which for the past eight years has
been in process of construction in
private quarters at Colts works, has
been perfected and is now on exhibi-
ton in the Goodwin building, on
Houston street. 1t is certainly a won
derful machine, doing the work, as its
inventor claims, of five men. 1t is
about the size of an ordinary piano
with lettered keys, as the operator
touches which the type take Their
places with unfailing regularity, the
work of distribution is done simulta-
neously with the type-setting and
are always full of type The CHIEF
difficulty heretofore has been justify
ing, but this has now been overcome
and Is now done with twice the rapid
ity of the ordinary mode.

Blacks and Whites.


A few weeks ago the colored
teacher of a public school on Staten
island for colored children became ill,
and, no other teacher of the same
complexion being Immediately OBJ
tainable, the school trustees assigned
a young white woman to the place
until his recovery. An uproar en-
sued, in consequence of which the
school was closed, pending the return
of the disabled negro teacher.
And what was the cause of the
trouble? The colored pupils, backed
by their parents, unanimously refused
to be taught by white teacher
That is, the race prejudice concern
ing whose wickedneSs and absurdity
we have long heard so much, and to
conquer which civil rights bill was
passed, was manifested, not by the
white woman, but by the colored peo-
pie she undertook to serve. She did
not object to teaching the negroes be-
cause they were black, but they would
not be taught by her because she was
white.
1t is negroes who now display the
race prejudices and draw sharply the
color line; nor is the Staten Island
case an exceptional one in these days.
Indications of a like spirit on the
part of the colored people now fire.
quentiy appear both at the south and
the north, and more especially at the
north. The negroes make it evident
that they wish to keep by themselves
and do not seek social intercourse
with the whites. They even wish to
be recognized politically: for if we
understand the purpose OF the Globe.
the negro newspaper organ, it is to
enforce the claims of the negroes as
people, whom politicians must con-
slider, and for whose favor they must
work; as voters who do not belong to
the Republican party as matter of
course, according to the old Republi
can assumption, but who will go
where they think best, and where
they will be best treated. The Globe
wants them to assert themselves,
and they seem to be doing it.
1t is becoming more and more evil
dent that the negroes no more care
for association with the whites, eX-
cept for business purposes, than the
whites care for their company. That
desire to maintain their separate ex-

south that recent southern medical
writer, who has given great attention
to the study of vital statistics, has
prophesied that the mulattoes will al
most wholly disappear within COM
paratively short period.
And here at the north the colored
people gather in churches of their
own, not so much because they are
unwelcome in white churches
as because they want to be by
themselves,to worship by themselves,
and to listen to the sermons of colored
preachers. Here and there a black
man or black woman may be seen in
white church, it is true, but as a
body the negroes do not care to be
there, and will listen to no induce
ments to draw them in. And the col
ored people have society Of their
own, with which they are content.
1t is very remarkable and very sug-
gestive that the overthrow of slavery
and the enfranchisement Of the ne
groes have apparently had the effect
to make more decided the color line
between the whites and the blacks.

BISMARCK is said to he purchasing
large quantities of land in Mexico for
the purpose of colonizing Germans
thereon. 1t is stated that his purpose
is to secure ten millions of acres, and
then to divert German emigration
from the United States to Mexico.
He expects to persuade Germans who
accept the Mexican inducements to
pledge themselves to retain their al
legiance to the German imperial gov
ernment, but in this he will probably
be disappointed. Germans who run
off from fatherland would rather put
themselves in position where
the iron grip of the drill sergeant can
not be inexorably fastened upon them.
Bismarck enjoys the reputation of be-
ing great statesman, but he calcu-
lates improperly when he concludes
that Germans who come across the
Atlantic, will hold themselves ready
and willing at all times to fight bat
ties for emperors and kings.

and nothing like a panic. 1t is really
astonishing how easily the nation is

cheap iron cannot be the curse it is
