CONVENTION OF COLORED
MEN.

"It is questionable at the very out
gel" says the Chicago Tribune, which
is excellent Republican authority,
''whether the colored leaders who
have called q national convention Of
their people next September have
acted wisely" The easons the col
ored people give for calling this con-
vention are the Inadequate remuner-
alton of the negro in the South; the
discrimination against him in the
matter of education; the %non-fulfll-
ment of the obligations of the Consti-
tutional Amendment in his favor,
and his failure to secure his proper
share of the political offices. Since
the adoption Of the amendment
which gave equal rights to all people
in the United States regardless "of
race, color, OF previous condition
Of servitude," the administration
of federal laws has been in the hands
Of the Republican party and if the
colored people have suffered on &C
count of determinations made against
them in political matters-and this is
the real cause of complaint-they
must hold that party responsible.
During the past twenty-five years
the Republicans have had control of
nearly every Northern state and still
they have studiously ignored the
presence of the colored element in
their midst. Who has heard of their
sending a colored Republican to
Congress from a Northern state?
They Lave been sent to that body
from Southern states and no one can
deny that the negro of the North
is not as intelligent as
his brother of the South. Herein a
discrimination has been made which
is Numerically opposed to the pro-
LESSONS of the Republican party. It
has not fulfilled its promises repeat
eddy made to colored men. It has
and still seeks their votes,
but in the distribution of the spoils of
office it has invariably overlooked
their claims. So much for Republi-
can professions. How this proposed
convention can change the estab-
lished rule of their Republican friends
to be seen. But one thing,
h1wever, is certain. A solid negro
party will have the inevitable ten
iency to draw sharply the color-line
and though the negroes of
the North may lose nothing by it
hose of the South will lose all the
ground they have gained. For any
movement which would result in
making a distinctive political party
If the colored people would place
hem between two fires, and in the
end would seriously retard if not de-
'troy their hopes of ultimate political
preferment.

A Montreal firm has invented and
patented a machine for cooking by
electricity. 1t consists of saucepan
so isolated by non-conductors that
the bottom forms the positive pole of
the current. The negative pole is at
tached to a movable point which ira
wells in circles over the bottom of the
pan underneath, distributing the
heat over the whole surface and with
sufficient rapidity to avoid burning a
hole through the pan at any one
point.

The Governors of New York, Penn.
sylvania, Massachusetts and Con.
necticut have been sneeringly called,
by the Republican press, 1.-THE tidal
wave Governors" and vigorous and
sustained efforts have been made to
impeach their administrations before
the people. The result has been that
all of their acts have been made very
prominent, and it is eminently prob
able that all of the four Governors
would be reelected if elections could
be held to-day.

A CAPITAL FOR SALE.

Dakota is a great Territory great
in area /; great in resources, andgreat
in expedients. It has land, wheat
and a capital to sell. Immigrants
and land sharps are rapidly Selling
the first; the second goes to feed the
starving poor of Europe, and the lat
ter is put up to the highest bidder.
1t is a novel idea for a Territory to
sell its capital at auction, but in the
case of Dakota it is a paying scheme.
The Commission having the matter
in charge met in the little town OF
Canton, in that Territory, the other
day and opened the bids. From the
following, which we find in the Bis.
marck Tribune, it would appear the
prize is estimated at no insignificant
value:
Aberdeen, 500, 900 and 100 acres of
land.
Pierre, 800, 900 and 100 acres of
land.
Bismarck, 500, 900 and 800 acres.
Mitchell, $4,000 and 100 acres.
Redfeld. 500, 900 and 24O acres.
Ordway, 800, 900 and 800 ACRES for
capital and 100 acres for depot.
Canton, 500, 900 and 100 acres.
Frankfort 500, 600 and 100 acres of
land.
Huron, 800, 900 and 100 acres.
Odessa, 5000, 900 and 100 acres.
Steele, $780, 600 and $50 acres.
An informal bid from washington
was also received and a bid of one
million from Sioux City
Bismarck considers her bid equiv
alent to half a million dollars and
INDUCES high hopes of getting the
prize. Nearly every town bidding
had its representative before the
Commission, who were heard in their
praises of their respective localities.
But the Commission did not decide
at the meeting and adjourned, it is
understood, for the purpose of visit
ling other localities. In the mean
time the capital is on wheels ready to
be dumped at the pleasure of the
Commission. Montana may profit
by the hint Dakota gives it.

THE PoPE's

L SAOS SNO
mayed by the Pope's circular to the
clergy. A few years ago it would
have been enough to araiyze the
efforts of any political party in Ire
land, but that time is past. The
cause in which Irishmen are engaged
has taken such deep root in their
hearts that it is doubtful whether
any expression from the vatican
could turn them from 1t. They re-
gard the circular, says q London cor
respondent of the New York Sun, as
an unwarrantable interference with
political affairs in Ireland and the
reason of its personal direction
against Parneil they say is due to
the fact that the Pope views with
disapproval his great influence with
the clergy. They refuse to believe
that the Pontiff has not been misled
by British calumny and misrepre-
sentation. They recall O'Connell's
saying that he took his theology
from Rome, but not his politics, and
they insist that his circular concerns
only priests in their capacity as such
and has nothing to do with the
National League.
Why the Pope should denounce
the Parnell fund as raised to influence
popular passion and lead men into
rebellion they cannot explain, when
it has never been intended for any
other purpose than to pay the mort
gage on his estate. This fund, all
things considered, has not been so
very popular in Ireland and has not
been subscribed to with any thing
like the enthusiasm looked for by its
promoters. A great many Irishmen
have felt it was not a fit time to for
ward Parnell's personal affairs when
there was such terrible distress
among the people, and they have
also thought that the inducements to
subscribe were made so strong as to
SAVIOR of intimidation. Only $40, 900
has been raised instead of the $780,
600 which was expected to flow in,
but it is thought not unlikely that
the Pope's attack will put a new as
pect on it altogether and greatly
stimulate subscriptions.
The talk of boycotting the Pope by
withholding Peters pence and d.
verting the annual tribute to Parnell
shows how a certain class of Irish
men feel about the matter, but the
project is one which Parnell wholly
condemns. The fund will be closed
when it reaches 500, 600.
What the ultimate effect of the cir
cu]ar will be it is not possible now to
foresee and it will be some time be-
fore it will be mace manifest. Cath
olics who take no part in politics
view it with the greatest regret and
fear it will widen the breach between
the church and a large class of Irish
men whose fealty of late years has
been none too strong. It must
either, they think, result in a serious
change in the relations of the Pope
to the priesthood, or the priesthood
to Rome. If obeyed to the letter by
the clergy, it would at once put the
Irish agitation in the hands of the
violent and INSCRIPTIONS, and under
no circumstance al it fail to prove
to the cause of religion

CHILD KILLED

Not long since a child of John Nys-
from. of Indian Lake, was instantly
killed by the discharge of an old gun in
the hands of his little brother. The
child was about three years old and the
brother about nine. The children were
playing in the granary, and it seems
that the 10y got hold of an old gun
which was laying among some rubbish
and was supposed to be unloaded and
past doing any harm even if loaded.
The larger boy was playing with his
brother, about SIX years old, when the
three-year old baby happened to come
III at the granary door. At that mo
ment the gun was discharged and the
ball struck the child in the breast and
passed clear through the body, killing
it instantly. There was no cap on the
tube and it is supposed that fire was
generated simply by swapping the ham
mer on the tube, similar to steel and
flint.
This affords another effective warn
ing to parents to keep fire arms,
whether load< d or not, ont Of the reach
of children. Singular enough the ac-
citlents nearly always occur with guns
that are mot loaded
