When the war-worn veterans of the Union
who gathered at Minneapolis few days ago sp-
preached the stand where the children were
singing honors to the old flag that loated over
them, the veterans uncovered their heads and
marched by in the enthusiasm of a patriotism
that dare not break the holy strains of national
hymns. Whenever they passed the old flag
they uncovered also. The cheering men at
Chicago cheered for a lost cause; the marching
men in blue at Minneapolis we're silent in the
presence ofthe mightiest victory ever won for
right. human freedom and the preservation OF
the ark of the Union covenant from the sacri
legious hands of rebels. The cheering men at
Chicago were all Southern Democrats. There
was nothing in "Dixie" to inspire any other
than Southern delegates.

Suicide of Noted Character.
PARIS, July 2Sth-FTgaro TODAY states
that Hartmann, the notorious Nihiiist. i'm
plicated in the assassination of Car Alex
ander H., has committed suicide. He was
starving and ended his misery by taking
poison. No one man had been more promi-
nent in revolutionary affairs on the CONT
nent than Leon Hartmann. Years ago he
was associated with an international move
ment led by Karl Marx, and supported by
Carl klinst. Later he was a secret agent of
the German Socialists, and still later an
active participant in the Nihilist campaign
of Russia. Fabulous prices have at times
been set on his head, but he seemed to
possess a charmed life. Il shall never die
the death of a revolutionary patriot, he
frequently boosted, but | must come to it
for want of bread" His words were pro-
phetic.

A REMNANT OF SLAVERY.

The friends of human slavery are not so
successful in stamping out human slavery
as are other reformers in their self
appointed tasks. Slavery exists in its
vilest forms in many places on the globe,
and millions of human beings are held in
bondage of the cruelest character, beside
which slavery as known once in the United
States was paradisical But on one of the
American continents there have been some
slow advances toward abolition of slavery
are being made as supplemental to those
that have been on foot for several years
looking to abolition. 1t is gratifying to re-
fleet that the measures have emanated from
upon it. On the contrary, for once there is
the example of a Government, and a mon
archy at that, which is in advance of the
governed. The news now is that the I'm
perial Government, on the 18th of June,
presented to the Council of State a new
scheme for abolition, and announced its
intention to push the bill to passage dur
ing the current year. 1t proposes a great
| increase of the emancipation fund list.
| This is to be done by the levy of general
| tax, by which the slave-owners are made to
pay in part for their own property. Each
year there is to be made valuation of
slaves for the purpose of awaiting of the
emancipatio9fund; but this valuation is
| to be decreased each year, SO that the oppor-
| tunities of freedom increase without the
necessity of increasing the fund proportion
ally. The tax on the shareholders will be
based upon the valuation for emancipation,
and hence the disposition of the owner to
value his slave high for emancipation will
be counterbalanced by the disposition to
place the values low in order to lessen the
burden of the tax In addition, the bill
provides for the absolute liberation of all
slaves at the age of CO. In this latter case
however, the slave is not to be turned out
upon the charities of the world. He is to
| be provided for, either by his late master
| or by the Government, matter that is yet
| to be settled by the Council of State and
interjected into the bill The Abolition
party in Brazil has declared that it will run
candidates for the next session Of the
Chambers, but there is very little hope en-
tertained, say the. correspondents, of its
meeting with success, because the Adolf
tionists are not able to command many
votes that are backed by the necessary
property qualification, which is very high.

| The fatal error some of our people are
making regarding the unsanitary character
of China slough is that the danger is in the
waters of the basin themselves. The real
danger is in the banks, as the best sanitary
authorities testify concerning such filthy
pits. These banks are porous; they are
permcated by the water of the basin, which,
ascending, as through Il sponge, are dis
| charged into the atmosphere in the form of
noXious yapors, carrying up, as they do,
foulness with which the bank soil is con-
stantly supplied. One could dwell upon
| the waters in boat with comparative i'm
munity from i'll, as contrastcd with the re-
suits of camping upon the banks of the
slough. Decaying vegetable and animal
matter submerged in the water will remain
in that state for a long period, the envelop-
ing waters, in a sense, preserving it. But
| the same matter cast upon the earth would,
by the action of the air and sun, with COM
parative speed be rendered innocuous. So
| it is that the dangers to be apprehended
| from the slough are not due so much TO the
presence of given body of water in it, or
the decaying matter sunk therein, as from
| the filth that saturates the banks or is cast
up upon them by the water (Which are I'M
sanitary in just the degree that they are
impure) and the sipage into and evapora-
| ton from the banks. The pumping of water
into the slough is poor device, and prop
crly comparable to the stirring of filth with
out decreasing its volume, to abate its vi
cious quality. The three things to do
| are to reform the banks guard them from
contamination, and as speedily as is posi-
bic to fill the basin with sand. In the
meantime, of course, all supplemental
efforts to disinfect the filthy sheet of water
should be encouraged.
