them can close our chief ports and destroy
vast amount of our shipping in case of
war, before we can fit ont single new
ship able to cope with their ironclads and
floating batteries and powerful guns. We
have not been pittsd against any modern
stsel-plated battery ship since the intro
duction of the plate and the better class of
guns into naval construction. We are not
to-day in any fit condition to protect our
interests abroad, or command respect for the
flag at sea. The President says, after urging
the completion of the new steel cruisers {:
" 1 am unwilling to see the gradual recon-
struction of our naval cruisers, now happily
begun in conformity with modern require
ments, delayed one full year for any unsub-
stantial reasons. Whatever conditions Con-
gress may see fit to impose in order to
secure iudicious designs and honest and
economical construction, will be accept.
able to me. But to relinquish or postpone
the policy already deliberately declared
will be, in my judgment, national i'm
prudence. Appropriation should also be
made without delay for finishing the four
double.turreted monitors Puritan, Amphi.
trite, Terror and Monadnock, and for the
security of their armament and that of the
Miantonomah. Their bulls are bailt, their
machinery under contract and approaching
completion, except that of the Monadnock,
on the Pacific coast. This should be built,
and more and heavy guns for all produced
at the earliest practicable moment.
It is not expected that the monitors
will be a match for the heaviest broadside
of the ironclads which certain other Gov
ernments have constructed at a cost of
four or five millions each, but they will bs
armed vessels of an approved and useful
kind, and possessed of such seagoing Ca
pacity and offensive power as fully to
answer our immediate necessity" The
truth is we have now no capacity in the
United States to turn out guns, such as are
in other navies. Besides building the
cruisers and completing the monitors, we
need to develop the ability to manufacture
guns equal to the best in use in the world,
and hence the President urges Congress to
appropriate $500, 725 for powerful rifed
cannon and proper ordnance outfit. If the
naval reinforcement is delayed another
year, the dominant party in the House of
Representatives will alone be held to ac-
count for the shortsighted policy.

a BAD PLAG.

1t is unaccountabls that any one should
be so excessively Jealous in support of the
common school system as to favor a move.
ment to tax private schools heavily, or at
all. Yet this scheme has found come favor
in the Legislature OF Iowa. The passage
of such a measure would be a direct blow
at the public school system. Instead of
promoting the cause of free education, it
would put it into the narrow rut of intoler-
snce, and antagonize the liberal sentiment
which, while believing that all schools
should be fostered, religious and secular
alike, will not now consent to any assault
upon the free schools. If line is ever
drawn, such as is proposed in Iowa, it will
force many friends of the public educa.
tional system to declare against it, and in
favor of those schools the church com.
mands its adherents to support. We very
much fear that Iowa in its excess of virtu-
Gus zeal will come to be known as the
"crank State.

CLARK IS STILL AT LARGE"

An Associated Press dispatch from an
interior town in Georgia, published on
Monday morning, tells story more
broadly significant of the real status of
the negro in that State than the report of
any Investigation yet instituted. It ap-
pears that on Sunday bright mulatto,
named Clark, called meeting of colored
laborers to form labor union or organiza.
zion, for the general purpose OF raising the
rate of farm labor. and for other purposes
common to such organizations. Clark
proceeded to address the meeting, explain
ing the character of the proposed orgsniza.
ton, In which address he is reported as
using the language, "a negro is as good as
q white man" whereupon the account
proceeds to relate, the Sheriff of the
county, armed with a Winchester rifle,
rushed into the meeting, Clark jumped
from the platform and fled, the Sheriff
calling upon him to stop, Failing to ar
rest his dight with words, the Sheriff fred
IN the direction of the fleeing labor orator,
missing Clark, but killing one of his audi
euce. The evidently written in
She South, from Southern standpoint
concludes, with refreshing Southern sim
plicity, "Clark is still at large"
Indeed There is no intimasion that
the Sheriff who broke up labor meeting,
and in SO doing " shot a niger, was held
accountable for the outrage. The absorb.
ing thought, that the "nigger who said
a Niger was as good as white man
escaped the Sheriff's bullet, and was still
at large, outweighed everything else.
There appears to be an unconquerable fear
N the mind of the average Southern so.
oiety that in some way, or by some asser.
zion, it viii become to be believed of men
5hat 81 niger is as good as a white man. 3"
We commend this whole incident to the
serious consideration Of the labor organiza-
lions of the North. Some colored workers
desire for mutual protection and benefit 60
form labor organization. They meet for
that purpose, and are addressed by one of
their number. AS a labor agitstor Clark
differed in no essential particular from
Others of his class. He asserted the equal.
ity of his class. There are no inferior
olassea With respect to rights. and Clark
merely declared this established truth.
For this a Sheriff attacks the meeting
with rifle, drives off the orator, kills a
member Of the audience, and the only
truly striking feature of the incident in the
mind of the Southern reporter is that
Clark is still at large"
There is jaunty adipette in the account
truly charming The man who spoke right
out in meeting, and said ga niger is as
good as a white man, " is still at large
Seditious wretch, irreverent scofIer az he
is, he still lives in freedom Of the swamps
of Georgia. But he will be overtaken.
Surely character so dangerous to the re-
pose of Southern superiority will not be
permitted to roam this world. He may
repeat this assertion ; he may swear to it
there is really no knowing what such a
blasphemer OF the goodness of white man
might, in his impiety. be tempted to do.
For the maintenance Of the supremacy of
the whole race, let Clark be overtaken.

WHISTLER AND MULDooN Clarence
Whistler, the wrestler, furnishes the fol.
lowing to a San Francisco paper : "My
attention has been attracted TO a card from
Muldoon, published in the Alta. have
this to say in connection with the late
wrestle with Muldoon. He states that the
proposition to call the match draw ema-
mated from me. l wish to say that this is
not so. And further, will put up 81 900
that 1 can throw this alleged champion in
side OF fifteen minutes, if he will wrestle,
the match to take place in the presence of
four friends of each of the principals; or
the match to take place in hall, the en-
tire proceeds to go to benevolent institu-
ton. Muldcon sent word to me asking for
the draw. I'm willing to bet 500 to ten
cents that Muldoon does not know what it
is to make a square match. He has never
wrestled one in his life, and l can prove it.
All his matches with me have been frauds.
l can bring up Englehardt and Bauer to
show that all of his wrestles have been ar
ranged beforehand, so that he weuld be
declared victor" In conclusion, Whistler
stated that he was willing to take his
affidavit upon every assertion he had made,
and could back up his statements vita
plenty of proof, if necessary.

CHANGE IN INDUSTRIES.-A gentleman
of keen observation and recognized as a
shrewd financier and of correct Judgment,
says in recent letter upon affairs in Eng
land and the signs of the times, and an
extract of which letter the RECORD. UNION
is permitted to publish, as follows Eng
land has less people engaged in the cotton
and wooden industries than twenty years
ago. Two decades ago the producers and
consumers were equal, Now there are
three consumers to two producers. In this
period actors and musicians have quad
rupled and doctors and lawyers doubled.
This may be sign of decay but it may be
a sign that man-labor is thrown on ma
chinery. In England the decline in the
value of land is about equal to the decline
in stocks in America, and there is the same
striking decline in the productive power of
capital and profits of business which the
actual purchasing power of gold has in
creased. The income value of money con-
tinues to decline. In America this is
equally the case, and be assured that any
business offering fair result had better be
adhered to-"

STRANGELY. FORMED SSAKE-The fol.
lowing is from the independent CaFStogian.
After the recent high water receded, S.
a. Richardson, section boss on the rail.
road, saw strangely formed snake in the
vicinity of the railroad bridge over Napa
creek, below Calistoga. 1t had seemingly
come up the creek during high water and
apparently sought place of rest in de.
preston or hollow, where it was left when
the water went down, and where it was
seen by Mr.. Richardson. 1t was fully six
feet in length, and ten inches or foot in
circumference at the largest part, where
there were small legs on every side. This
main part was less than three feet in length,
and from this the body would be quickly
projected to its full length and as rapidly
drawn back. The head was at the small
end. The reptile was laundering and
rolling about when seen, and apparently
could not get out of the depression in
which it was. MIR. Richardson says h did
not at first make IN effort to kill it, as it
was in On unfavorable place to reach, and he
did not then care TO take the time nor COM
mence battle with a snake of the kind.
This reptile was actually seen as stated,
and We write OF il at length because it ap-

One of the most promising pupils in the
Grass Valley public schools is the nine
year-old daughter of Tia 10y, the Chinese
interpreter. She has been attending
school for two years past her name is
Lulu. The first year Lulu went to school
she dressed Chinese fashion, and her queer
costume made her unpleasantly conspicu-
Gus. Then she pleaded with her father to
let her adopt the garb of civilization, from
an American standpoint, and after some re-
luctanoe he consented. So now she dresses
after the fashion Of our own little girls,
even TO her hair, which is braided bshind
and tied with two bright red ribbons, and
in front is banged in the highest style of
the art Lulu talks about as clear English
as any of the children, reads remarkably
well for so young person, and joins in
the sports of her playmates with as much
vim as any of them. The other children
treat her well as rule.
