A convention of colored men was in
session last week in Louisville, which
opened Monday with about 25O dele
gates present. A. M. Green, of Louis
lama, was elected temporary chairman
and Fred. Douglass, of Washington,
permanent chairman. The object was
to take in consideration the general con-
dition of the colored people of the
country, their labor interests in the
South, the educational interests of the
race, their civil rights, and last but not
least important, the security of their
political rights, which are now con-
sidered stricken down. The convention
was thought to have no special political
significance. but resolution introduced
endorsing President Arthur almost di-
vided the convention, showing how
strong the lines were drawn for and
against party p olitics. Resolutions look
ing t. mo g generous distribution OF

Illinois elects state officers this year
and up to this time Ex-Governor Richard
Oglesby is thought to have the inside
track for the republican nomination for
Governor. Gov. Hamilton, an acciden-
tai executive, who succeeded Cullen
when the latter was chosen senator, is a
candidate in every sense of the word,
but because of some of his political acts
his popularity is not great.

Hard Work VS. Hand Work.

We can readily understand why our
neighbor who rises at in the morning
and spends two or three hours of al
most every fair day in the town or Will
age talking politics. does not prosper
at farming. We say sometimes, per-
haps heartlessly, that he does not des-
erve to succeed, and that we have no
sympathy for him. But most of us will
not have to look very far to find anoth-
er neighbor whom we rarely see away
from home, but who is generally found
in frock and overhalls plodding at his
work. and yet this farmer is not grow
ing richer. but rather poorer. How
are we to account for thisp
We once knew of very skillful and
industrious carriage manufacturer who
failed in his business after long and
hard struggle. Another succeeded him
and the tables were turned at once.
With no other facilities than the first
enjoyed, the newcomer soon built up
thriving and profitable business. He
was once asked why his predecessor
met with so signal failure; he replied:
HE worked too much; he spent his
time at his bench when he ought to
have been attending to his sales and
purchases and overseeing his workmen."
Is not this answer suggestive? May it
not account for the fact that some of
the most industrious farmers never rise
above mediocrity? Some farmers GER
tainly do over-estimate the Importance
of the labor of their own hands.
Suppose man has two teams and
four men at work on his farm. IL is
obviously of greater Importance that
he should keep all advantageously en-
ployed every hour in the day than that
his own hands should be kept constant
ly busy. Few men are able to do good
hand-work and good head-work at the
same time. Better lay by the hoe or
pitchfork and plan the work, so that
every stroke shall count and so that
there shall be no delays or blunders.
Every farmer should have q carefully
laid plan for each days operations be-
fore beginning work in the morning.
Without such forethought things cam
not go on smoothly. The whiffietrees
will be needed on the wagon when they
are three fields away on the pillow; the
hay-rack will have to be repaired after
the hay is really TO haul to the barn; or
the team and the men win be kept wait
ing to grease hot axle. The farmer
who keeps himself wearied and worried
with manual labor is in poor condition
for plan-wisdom. His mind will be
hampered and fretted. and annoyances
that would scarcely ruffie a peaceful
mind, are enough to stir his troubled
spirit to foam. Things seem arrayed
against him-not because they are so.
but because he is overtaxing himself

commerce

ceeds ours. our domestic commerce
exceeds her foreign and home trade combined
Speaking on this point, Mr.. Alexander Nc
Even. in an open letter to the Earl of Beac-
onsfeld in 1879. said: Tine United States
have grown from 20 900. 600 of population in
Z 1915 TO 80, 0O0, 900 at the present day. their
exports from ego, 900. 900 10 fl55, DOC, 900 per
annum. Their home trade, carefully protect
ed. estimated now at more than fl .OU.COO,-
600 exceeds our whole home and foreign
trade put together. As far as their relations
TO US are concerned, they are sending us this
wear fl00. 900, 900 of commodities, and TAX
ing from US about ego 900, 900"
Until we accepted the protective princi-
pie and established it in 1851, England was
confessedly the worlds workshop. The an
nual income of Great Britain. as shown BY
her census Of 1880, was s., 790, 600, 900; the
annual income Of the United States in the
same year was 81 ,030. 900, 900; and so able to
bear taxation have the protected people OF
the United States been, that. though at the
close of our war our debt was comparable 10
that Of Great Britain or France, our too rap
idly diminishing interest-bearing debt to-day
is less than that Of Turkey, about one-hali
that Of Spain or Italy, and scarcely one-third
that of France or Great Britain"
Mr. Kelley's remarks furnish convincing
evidence Of the benefit which protection has
conferred upon this country. Democratic free
trade in time Of peace added nothing to our
industrial wealth, created no home market:
to enrich the people around them, and re
duced the credit of the government so that il
was Obliged to pay II per cent interest FOL
money TO meet its current expenses. Protec-
rion as inaugurated by republican Congress
in 1861, furnished means to carry on the wal
and reduce the debt to its present proportion,
and has built up the labor and increased the
industrial interests Of the people as repre-
scented in our manufactures. mines, quarries,
and agriculture, beyond the expectations and
prophecies of the most sanguine believers in
the protective policy.

A SCARE IN BOSTON.
A Bomb Exploded in Front OF the Post
Office.

BosToS. April Is.
A small street bomb was exploded by a
passing carriage in front of the post office in
Boston this forenoon, causing some commo-
ton but no damage. The device was a cir
cular shell two inches in diameter and half
an inch thick. Two small prongs for caps
projected from the centre. The explosive
used is not known. The report was about as
loud as military rifle. The incident caused
some talk in connection with the Marquis of
Lorne's arrival, but the police attach no sig
nificsnce to it. They believe the device was
dropped accidentally.
careful examination of the supposed in
fernal machine that exploded near the post
office today, shows that it was nothing more
than an ordinary railroad torpedo, used to
denote that slow running train is ahead of
time fthat eYplodes it. 1t was probably
dropped BY accident.

FROM WASHINGTON.
THE STAR ROUTE.
A Long Debate ON Testimony.
WASHINGTON, April Is

WASHINGTON, April Is.
In the star route trial today. Bliss contin-
ued to put in proof of the destruction of tele-
grams.
Lewis Newomb, ca New York postotfice
inspector. testified by order of Postmaster
General James, that he had followed Rerdell
across the ferry on june y, 1881. lngerSoll
objected to this testimony. Bliss explained
that he proposed TO show that Terry had
made mis-statement when he said that Rer-
dell did not go TO Dorsey's office on that day.
A long debate ensued.
The court ruled out the offered evidence
of Newcomb.
Doctor James Rerdell of South Carolina
was the next witness called. He testified
that he was brother of NJ. c. Rerdell: knew
the latter went to New York in June. 1851
The witness said that he went to the post
office on Monday or Tuesday after his re-
turn. and his brother received letter.
The defence objected at this point, and a
prosecution was called upon for an explana-
ton of their offer.
Merrick said that the witness would testify
that his brother had received letter from
Dorsey. as described by Rerdell in his test
monv. importuning him not to desert him,
but to stand BY him for sake of his wife anu
family. and witness had read the letter.
Another argument followed, but the court
finally decided to reject the evidence and the
witness was excused.
The jurv was then dismissed until Tues
day next and the court proceeded to consider
the subject of division of time to be allowed
for the closing arguments.
Bliss said the prosecution expected to close
sonn after the next meeting OF the court, and
he presumed the defence would not take
much more time.
A general discussion took place in regard
to arguments and prayers to be sumbitted by
both sides. No definite arrangement was
made The court adjourned till Tuesday
next.
