THE SOUTH VS.. WEST.
Col. iSeverley's letter TO the
Young Men OF Virginia
Reinforced.
Baltimore Spn.l

Baltimore San.
Mr.. n. V. Randolph, we'll
known Virginian and a successful
business man, has written a letter
reinforcing the recent letter Of
Col. Robert Beverley advising the
young men to stay at home.
We give the nam points
of Mr.. Randolpli's letter,
as the suggestions it con
tains may BE proffta bic to other
Southern young men outside of
Virginia.
Il am comparatively a young
man, came out OF the war with a
bad cavalry horse and tried to
buy better one from Col. Bever-
ley for Confederate money after
General Lees surrender, but he
declined the transaction. [ traded
him for one branded II. S. and
took the chances. Got nay parole one
day, and hitched my horse to a
pillow the next and went to work to
make living. Hard work, I tell
you, at first; but you soon got us
ed to it. | made little money
and saved it. Hard to do-hard-
er than making it, by far. Since
then | have travelled over the lar
ger parts Of this country-not for
pleasure, bat business and where
ever | find a man succeeding it is
by hard work. On a recent trip
to the far west I Travelled over
1000 miles in seven weeks, work
ed all day and travelled all night
most of the time. I met a few
people who worked for living.
No l was a graduate Of Yale
College, who went west with a
few Thousand dollars and lost IT,
He was keeping ,toll-gato at g
per day. One dollar in Virginia
will buy as much as 20 in Colora-
do, Nevada, or any Of the mining
States. No. 2 was Virginian
who raised money enough at home
TO get west. Present occupation
cowboy wages, $50 per month
and found. He lived out on the
plains with the cattle. He had
been months without seeing a liy-
ing soul except his assistant. Had
just come in, several days trip, to
get provisions. No. 3 was a ma
chinist from New York, working
in the mines, often in water six to
twelve inches deep; wages S2.75
and 50 per day. And 50 it goes.
Ask these people, why do you
stay? Why don't you go back
eastY The answer is; Z came
west against the advicaof my fam
lily or friends, and | would rather
work it out here than incur the
modification Of going back a fail
ure. But [ would advise any
young man who can make living
at home to stay there.
"Of course some succeed and
amass fortunes, and they are held
up as examples OF what can be
done and is done in the west. Just
Eas many succeed at home, with
Less work and fewer hardships. and
when competence is attained
have the benefit Of good society
and the comforts Of civilization
for themselves and their families.
] am confident from what | have
seen that the young man who will
stay at home and make up his
mind to work will make more
money with less labor than he
could in the Ear west. [ must saw
for the people of Colorado that +
saw less drinking than do i'll the
east, and finer looking and bet
ter behaved set of people would
be hard to find. Denver is
beautiful city, and has one of the
finest opera houses in the country.
The climate is delightful, but SO
is Virginia; and any argument
you use for going west is also
good for staying at home"

The death of Gambetta appears
to have thrown the French Repub-
lie into very great confusion. The
MASSES Of the people are evidently
of tine opinion that no one can be
found to Eli his place as presi-
dent, and, therefore, seem to be as
an army without IA leader. It is
anticipated that the present status
of things in France may lead to a
serious revolution. The French
ministry appear to be utterly in
capable as well as irresponsible,
therefore, the people seem to cher
ish little or no confidence in their
ability to conduct public affairs.
Things at present look a little
blue over the water,

THE tariff question will be the
great national issue in the next
presidential election. There are
very few people who really know
anything about this question,
speaking in a comparative sense,
and it's high time that they had be-
gun to make it subject of study.
At no distant day the people oi
this country will be called upon to
vote upon this very issue, and how
can they vote intelligently unless
they understand the operations of
the tariff SYSTEM.

This winter Washington Is suffering from
an Egyptian curso-thick darkness at night.
Combined with this annoyance, the sleet, the

bic accompanmCnts that render travelling
about the streets Mt night an undertaking
Of serious magnitude. BY the almanac
of the gas light company il is under
stood that the moon is shining, and
hence the business of Illuminating the city
is turned over to her. Last night, for eX-
ample, there was avery brilliant moonlight
ON the other side of the clouds but the streets
of Washington got none of il. lt is gravcly
suggested that the old fashioned lantern, fed
with lard oil, be hung out on each corner 10

not then light their lamps at all. As mat
ter of fact, it is simply incxcusable that n
metropolitan city, having over two hundred
thousand people and extending about five
miles long by three in width, should be
plunged into darkness every night when
clouds obscure tho moon. Travel in this city
| does not cease at . o'clock, as in certain rural
! New England towns and every citizen who is
compelled to be out beyond the regulation
hour has the right to his share of the light for
which he pays his due proportion of tax. This
| absolute darkness on cloudy nights, when the
moon should but does not shine is at once
| disagroeablc and dangerous. IL invites burg
| larry, larceny, and assault. 1t diminishes the
! power of the police, and IL Is a swindlo upon
| the people who pay for light.

CHEAP GOOD.o
What Red Cloud Said OF the Hanging
OF shaw.


Red Cloud the noted Sioux chief, who has
been here for some time transacting business
with the Interior department, took the train
for New York last night on his way to his
reservation. While seated in tho train he
was approached bya REPUBLICAN reporter,
who proceeded to bid him bon UOydge.
"What did you think of the white mans
method of furnishing murderers to.dayT
asked the reporter.
"Heap good" said the red pilgrim. "Kill
very quick,' and as he said this he pressed
his fingers to his throat and snapped them in
imitation of the drop.
" How does it compare with the Indian
method of scalping?" asked the reporter.
"Hcap better;" and as he said this he
turned to his comradeand conversed with him
in the Indian tongue, and both shook their
heads wisely,
He also informed the reporter that he was
very much pleased with the workings of the
scatlold and said he thought the white man S
way should be adopted by the Indians.
When asked if the hanging of Shaw was
the first he had ever seen, he replied in the
affirmative, and promised to return to witness
another when it occurs He said he would
ask Teller to let him have some scaiiolds.
