A Democratic paper says: "The party

the Democratic party, while so tar the

Whitelaw Reid, of the New York
TrihuHe, hes written letter 10 the com.
mittse which has undertaken the task Of
Suggesting plans for securing harmony
in the patty. The following extract
fFoM his letter outlines the basis for 6
"plann that seems sensible and funda.
Ineatal;
Any plan that may be preferred
should IN my opinion, rest upon two
cardinal principles: First, every resi-.
dent Of district who voted for the last
Republican presidential ticket shoulG
be entitled to voice. If Eeaee to have
q great, united party, capable OF success:
and inspired TO achieve It, that should
be our only test of partisan orthodoxy.
q Second-No man should be asked fol-
cny pledEe whatever az 90 how he will
vote In tie future! The very best ele
thentsIn the Republican party, thos,
that have given It its success and
glory, are precisely those that would re.
fuse to tie themselves Up BY such &
pledge. The way to tie them to thu
ticket is TO give every man fair chanc'
for his equal voice in making ii, and le
every man see that it is the majority tina
rules. Where that plan prevails tht
Republican party is rarely distracted
by schemes, and never demoralized b.
| its occasional defeats.

1t has been given out recently, from

The Democracy is now split into
three factions, known respectively as
the free-traders, the protectionists and
the trlmmers. The FIRST pamed faction
is headed by Mr.. Watterson. 1t wants
the party to nail the flag of "tariff for
revenue only" to the mast, and go in for
victory or death. Mr.. Randall Is the
conceded leader of the second faction,
the protectionists. It knows that the

A few days ago Congressman Thomp-

plness. On this event the New York
Tribune remarks: I'VE suppose there
are many people who think that Con-
gresham Thompson performed JUST
fable and praisewOrthy act. There is
and always has bsen { natural feeling
that sueha deathis tho only adequate
punishment for scOundrels of that sort
But what has Mr.. Thompson gained by
the act2 He has blaEoned his wife's
ahame Gafore all the world, and has fixed
upon his children disgrace which they
will have 70 carry with them
through life. He has fastened
upon himself the brand OF
murder. But that probably troubles
him very little, as he is said to have
skilled his man" several times before.
There ia very little Likelihood that a jury
can be found in Kentucky which will
deny that he was entirely right in taking
the law into his own hands. Setting the
legal and moral aspects of the question
aside, therefore, as being out of the case
IN considering Kentucky affair" we
should really like TO know what Mr.
Thompson, when he looks upon his wife
and children, thinks he has gained by
the transaction"

INDIAN RELICS.

An Interesting Paper on Aboriginal HE
rogIyphies by Prof. frank KIzer.
/ To the Editors of the News:
! When we come into the presence OF
indian relics an internal feeling of ouv
superiority mingles with a sense ofcuri-
osity. This is best felt perhaps in the
presence of their hieroglyphics, their
rarity and the difficulty of translation
making them especially SO. The picture
writing of the Indian is usually confined
to one of three things: First, rude at
tempts 10 number scalps, warriors or
canoes; second, to illustrate ideas that
are only secondary as their actions,
qualities and peculiar traits of character;
third, to illustrate parts as momentoes
of the whole.
Other nations, as the ancient Next
cans and modern Chinese advanced to
the fourth stage where the use of q few
strokes represented the object ITSELF
some distinctive feature of il or an alb
stract idea connected with it. This was
generally followed by the fifth, where
objects that had Theoretically the same
name were represented by the same
sign. This again by the sixth and last,
where signs are used to represent
sounds. either syllable or alphabetic.
All nations have followed in the main
these principles and some have run par.
allel IN their development of alphabets.
The obelisk of Egypt and the roun d
stone column of Central America are
parallel in their hieroglyphics, while the
Mexican representation of an eclipse of
the moon by having the satellite devour-
ed by huge dragon and that of the
Hindoos were the same.
The picture writing of the Canary Is
lands and those of Lake Superior have
such a resemblance that persons of au-
thority pronounce the races of the same
origin. The writings of the ancient
Mound Builders and Celts of England
also bear close resemblance. The un.
civilized races of both continents have
symbolic language, generally for each
tribe, and our Indians at the present day
will write long letters to distant mem.
bers of their tribe. Important events
are carved on trees and rocks, or some
times paint is used. They are very rude
and grotesque, as the following cut at
tests:

National Republican., 1883-10-20

OUR statement that for years there have
been no valid elections in North Carolina
South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas or Arkansas gives some
uneasiness in democratic quarters. Hence
this reference thereto in a democratic paper
says: "No facts are given as the basis of this
assertion except tho fact that those states
have given democratic majoritios." The facts
have been given under oath before commit
tees of congress from year to year, until the
reign of Cassassiuatons, ballot box stuliug, and
false returns attracteda as little attention as the
ticking Of clock. Tho clock ticks just the
same after tho ear becomes tolerant and iu-
different to its sound. Tho history of the
states we have named since 1874 is written
in the sworn testimony of native citizens OF
high character, and it reads moro like the
history of Dahomey than of free America,
At odd times the democrats shall have re-
