An ABUSED CLASS Railroad en-
ployees in the United States complain
that they are not allowed sufficient
time for rest and sleep. Some Of
them are frequently kept twenty two
hours without sleep, and when stop
page occurs they are obliged to try
to keep awake for thirty hours con
tlnuously. The consequence is that
the men, overcome with fatigue,
sleep while on duty, and this is the
cause of many accidents. The over
working of the men is said not to he
confined to one line, but is general.
1t is caused by the parsimony of
companies, who endeavor to get as
much work out Of the men as possible.
These companies spare no expense in
fitting up the cars handsomely, but
i'll their dealings with the men on
whose care and vigilance the safety
Of the passengers depends they are
everything but liberal. More would
be heard of this i'll usage of employees
and injustice to the travelling public
if the men dare speak out, but know
ing that if it was found out that they
complained they would lose their
situations. they are generally silent.
Jay Gould has subscribed $500 to
the Milwaukee Relief Fund, and the
Mayor of that city telegraphs to the
great railroad man as follows: please
accept my thanks and the thanks Of
all our citizens for your muniiicent
gift. 1t is timely, and should rank
You with the noble philanthropists
that distinguish this age above all
previous eras in the worlds history"
1t is likely that when Gould received
this despatch it lett him in doubt
whether this was merely Western
gush or whether the Mayor thought
the contribution ought to have been
larger and spoke in irony.

OUR FARMERS.-It is cheering to
ride into our country and sec the ac-
Itivty and energy which are shown by
our farmers in the efforts they are ma
king to recupcrate the losses they have
sustained by the failures Of their crops.
tThcy are not only sowing more cNtcn-
Isivcly small grain, but are working to
have next spring much larger sup
ply OF home made manlucs, than for
mcrly, and thus Obviate the necessity
I0f spending SO much money for or,anO.
We need not expect farming to pay
better than it has done in the past. and
the sooner all our farmers abandon the
idea that it is cheaper TO purchase their
fertilizers than even to haul ont the
homemade manlTcs, when made for
them, the better for themselves, the
better for their children and the better
for their country. The experiments
which have been made by our govern.
mcnt have clearly demonstrated the
fact hat the heavy application Of COM
mcrcal fertilizers not only does not re-
muncratc the farmer but does iircpara-
blc injury to his land. Free

THERE seems to be a pretty general
feeling throughout the country that the
second amendment has carried by good
round majority, but the vote has been
going through some manipulatiOns at
the hands of the political managers,
with view to laying 1t on the shelf.
The will of the people may be subverted
in this way for the time being, but, gem
tlemen, this is an issue that won't down,
and you may as we'll meet it Squarely
first as last. 1t has been thrust upon
the Republican party in spite of its pro-
test, by the Democracy and its ally, the
Liquor League of Ohio. Now let the
Republican party accept the challenge,
put its thinking cap on, and devise some
wise and vigorous measure to suppress
the evils of intemperance growing out
of the liquor traffic, and then strike out
square from the shoulder. 1t we go
down, we will have the honor at least of
going down fighting for principles and
not in petty scramble for Office.-Alli-

A COIored Mans Notion of the Rights of

General WIS. ROseerans, Chairman of
the Democratic Congressional Commit

Der II, from Mr.. Lee Nance, an intelli-
gent and we'll informed eOlOred resident
of Washington, in which the writer

his people as affect, d by it. Mr.. Nance be-
lieVes there are other issues of more con-
Germ to the cOlOred people, far more vi
tally involving their true interests, than
the social and sentimental questions
passed upon by the Court. He says:

In reply to this letter Gen. ROsecrans

JUSTICE HARLAN was the only one of
the nine United States Supreme Court
Justices, who dissented from the Opin-
ion of the Court on the Civil Rights bill.
Mr.. Harlan seems to have changed his
views as to the limits of Federal au-
thOrity. In 1866 Gen. Harlan was a cit
izen of Frankfort, KY, where, immedi-
ateIy after JOhnsOn's veto of the Freed
mems Bureau measure, mass meeting
was held and resolutions adopted. The
Yeoman says Gen. Harlan drafted the
resolutions and made a speech in their
support. The fourth resolution reads
as follows:
RESOLVED, That each state has the ex-
elusive right to fix aud regulate by law
the political and civil status of it's citi-
zens, and any attempt by the federal gov
ernment to interfere with the right of
the states by special legislation, in ia
VOr of or against any class, race or ma
tiOnality in the states, respectively, is
the exercise of power without cOnstitu-
tiOnal warrant, and dangerous to the
liberties of the people.
This view of the matter does not fit in
very smoothly with the Justices dis
sent from the recent opinion on the civil
rights act.

WILL BE CHEMICALLY ANALYZED.
HOT VERSUS COLD WATER.

Just at the moment when cold water
cures, milk cures, whey cures, grape
cures and the KaTlsbad, or starvation
cure, occupied the attention of those
who perhaps are in great measure per-
sOnally responsible for wanting any
cure at all, a new one has sprung up in
America, and has already found follow
ers in England. The drinking of hot
water was an old-fashiOned practice
among persons with impaired digestive
organs. Hot water as a cosmetic has
greatly advanced in favor during the
present London season, while the prac-
tiee of drinking water as near to boiling
point as is humanity possible has taken
to itself supplementary treatment in
the United States. The probable apOc-
ryphal saying attributed to Diane de
POictiers that she owed the preservation
Of her beauty to the use of cold water is
gradually becoming discredited, and
Phyllis no longer laves her lovely fea-
lures in the cool translucent waves, but
in the same made almost boiling hot.
As few years ago we were enthusiastic
about cold Tubing, most meritorious
when the ice on the top required to be
broken with bOotjack, so is a kind of
scalding propaganda in progress at the
present moment, and those who clung
most desperately to the geld tub are
now quietly pushed into lukewarm if
not hot Water.-LOndOn News.

JUDGE HOADLY is reported to having
said that seven thousand cOlOred voters
voted for him on the recent election. He
may put the figures little high, but it
is undoubtedly true that he received the
votes of many eOlOred citizens, and that
the color line in politics is fast fading
out. The Democratic party is not a
class party, but can always be depended

THE Supreme Court decision on the
Civil Rights law continues to excite dis
cussiOn among all classes here, espec-
tally the cOlOred citizens. Among Dem
Ocrats the general remark is: "a Re-
publican Congress made the law, and
Republican Court set it aside. Our par
ty has never promised the negro any
rights beyond those given to the white
man; we take the same interest in all
classes, and we cannot promise more in
the future" And the negro is begin
ming to understand that he owes moth
ing to the Republican party for his lib.
erty and citizenship. If freedom was
his right, he received 1t at the hands of
the Northern people, Democrats and Re-
publicans alike, only tardy justice with
out reward for two hundred years of Ia
Dor, the fruits of which were divided
among the white people of the whole
nation. The negro is learning that re-
leasing him from the bondage of indi-
viduals did not shackle him to polite
al party. Like every other citizen, he
must choose the party that he thinks
will give him the most benefit under the
Government, or that will give him the
best government. The thinking classes
among them understand this, and those
who do not think, will continue, like all
other ignorant nations, commercial
