Despite the fact that the warm days are
comm. on apace, the Northern organs are
working themselves up int quite state
Of Precipitation that is entirely unneces-
sarv. The Mobile Register, the other day,
venturcd To express its conviction that
whoever carried New York, New Jersey
and Indiana in 1854 would be President,
and urged che Democrats to look for vic
tory in those States, and not in Kentucky,
Alabama and Mississippi, which are
..safe for the Democratic nominees,
on general principles, without regard to
the tariff" The Register is one OF the few
Southern journals that are charmed with
the beauties OF a protective tariff. This
fact should gain it favor in the eyes of the
stout champions Of the barOns. \ sedate
Boston editor, however, on reading the
Register's suggestion, piOusly CALCULATES:
..'General principles is a phrase worth
studying. In the democratic common
place book it means much. The general
principle of spOils, the general principle
Of reputation, and the general principle
Of fraud and violence at the polls are to be
included in the summary
This is refreshing; as if stalwart and
half breed had any other bone of cOnten-
ton than spOil-and as if Malone was not
counted a necessary factor in the chances
Of Republican success in 1884. Fraud
and violence" too. The general princi-
pie Of soap is more refined and alto
gether more persuasive. What world
we live in 10 be sure.

We are in receipt Of a copy of the in
teresting report of Prof. :. WaterhOuse,
Of the II. Louis University. to Hon. Geo.
b. LOring. Agricultural Commissioner. on
the subject Of jUte. From time to time
We will publish for the benefit Of our
readers extracts touching upon the most
important points in the report, which are
Of a character to give the highest salts
faction to Southern planters in regard to
the successful production of the plant in
this country. Having investigated the
subject in the most thorough manner,
Prof. WaterhOuse thus concludes his re-
port:
No vigOr of language can too earnestly
express my conviction that a great indus
Try, productive Of vast Opulence, now
awaits the hand of Southern enterprise.
The lapse Of time has only strengthened
my belief that the Southern States can,
by organized effort, produce new vege-
table fibre, which, ranking next to cotton
in value, will not only enrich themselves,
but also increase the textile resources of
the world
Numerous testimonials are given TO
show the adaptability of the South to the
raising of jute, and also of its paying
value as a crop. In fact, the report ef-
fectually incorporates jute in the cata-
lOgue of Southern crops.

HOwgate's Grip.

A Washington correspondent says that
there is TO be no inquiry into the manage
ment of the Signal Service Bureau. How
gate, from his hiding place, is too power
full. He can stitle it at a distance, if he is
at a distance. Many people believe that
he is not out Of sight of the dome of the
capitol, and that but for his ability to in
vOlve others more influential than himself,
he would long since have been arrested.
The power which allowed him TO escape
from prison after he grew tired Of cOnfine-
ment still dominates in Washington, and
he is safe.

Some INQUIRIES Noted.

The Chicago Tribune is moved to IN
quire: |swho has the temerity to say that
the Republican party will act less wisely
one year hences And if it shall act as
wisely in 1884 as it acted in 1884, VINO
dares predict its defeat: 1t is idle to say
that there is no difference between the
two great political parties of the country
that the contest between them Is mere
struggle for offices and spOils. And when
in all history have peoples failed to con-
trast the respective records of rival aPpli-
csnts for their favor: The Republican
party is the party of progress, and the
Democratic party is the party of reaction.
If the people should wish to move back
ward is there any doubt that they would
choose to entrust the conduct Of their af-
fairs to the Democratic party?'
1t would require considerable space TO
answer our great contemporary fully. If
we may assume that the chief display OF
wisdom made by the grand old party in
1880 was the distribution Of ''sOap' in In
diana, upon the effectiveness of which so
much turned, we grayely suspect that
owing TO tue presumable reluctance of
Mr.. :. W. Dorsey to contract for a repeti-
ton of the job, the wisdom Of 1880 cannot
be exactly duplicated.
Our contemporary is decidedly correct
in its assertion that sit is idle to say that
there is no difference between the parties
! To the popular view last fall there was
quite a perceptible difference, especially
| in the State of New York and others that
MIGHT be mentioned. We are inclined to
think that the people about that time
| .scOntrasted'' the recent records OF parties
and quite unfayOrably to the Republican
| party.
.sThe Republican party is the party OF
| progress" Unfortunately for 1t the par
ty was a trile too progressive, and the
| people have on sundry occasions been
! COMPELLED to call a halt. ''The Democrat
| ic party is the party of reaction
The people manifested singular
confidence IN the Democratic
party by giving it control of the next
| Congress. Leaving the surprising result
| in New York out of view, will our great
contemporary please explain the remark
able gains Of the Democrats elsewhere
Furthermore, is it not singular that the
packed Supreme Court of the United
| States manifests such a striking per-
versity in negativing so much of the lad
vanced" legislation devised by the high
priests of the grand old party:'
1t would appear that the people have
''mOved backward" They have missed a
| good deal oftheir effects during their recent
rapid gait and would like to know where
the plumber has gone. We are rather III
| clined to believe that they do intend ito
intrust the Democratic party with the
conduct of affairs.'' Mr.. COnkling shares
our belief profoundly, and We trust that
| the Tribune will, ere long, be moved to
| coincide with him.

The Newport, r. l. Ne1es Rep. J, COM
menting on the proposed convention of
cOlored voters, says: ''While we have
the prOfOundest respect for those colOred
citizens who. in the face Of the disadyan-
tages of the old system, have risen in the
scale of intellectual ability, and who have
shown a fitness for almost any position
that may be assigned them, we sincerely
regret that any of them should appear,
Just as race distinctions are beginning to
pass away, and demand their perpetual
ton. If it is proper to ask an office for a
man because he is cOlOred, it is equally
proper to refuse him one for the same
reason. If such an issue is once raised
and urged on the one side, it will soon
come TO be on the other; and when the
strife is made again between the black
man and Vie white man, as such, there
can be no doubt as to the result. The
majority will VIM" The foregoing is
prayerfully commended to the attention
of the esteemed Boston Adcertiser, there
is a severe candOr in the language quoted
that requires no comment.

Which is the Worse?

In the worst kind of communism the
rich are plundered by the poor. Under
the protective tariff the poor are plundered
fer and by the rich. How Is it possible
TO plumber the poor? What have they :
Certainly those who do not work have
nothing that they obtain honestly if they
inherit nothing, but the majority do work,
and are kept poor by paying contributions
to mOnOpolists with every purchase of
necessaries. This is how the poor are
plundered by the rich. Is the system bet

States and Railroads

The immediate practical effect of the
decision will not be very great, as there
are few States that have laws fixing the
rates of railroad companies. Even the
law upon which it rests is not in force in
Illinois. Its inevitable tendency will be
to encourage the production OF a fresh
crop of granger legislation, to be followed
by more litigation and more hair splitting
decisions, until the great and lOng-estab-
lished principle that a State may not i'm.
pair the obligation Of contracts with its
own citizens is finally destroyed.
