the affair is that of a private fam

Sam Speight is working hard
to elect his man Stephens for al

is the same as it was on the night
of the nomination. We have not
heard of but one colOred man be-
side himself supporting Stephens
and that was William Porter. In
fact, we have not heard of any
white Stephen men. except loot
Dillon, but the people ought to
cast fifty complimentary votes for
him.
Whether the United States are
to regain their former pre-em
nent rank as commercial and
naval power on the seas, is a ques-
ton that no American can con-
template with Indifference. The
subject is discussed with marked
ability In the North American
Review for April, by the Hon.
Nelson Dingley, NJ G, who oppo
ses the project of admitting for,
eign built ships to American reg
lister, and by Capt. John Goldman,
who is well known as a jealous
advocate of the measure. Judge
J A Jameson, in the same number
of the Review, discusses the ques-
ton. "Shall our Civilization be
Preserved" pointing out the
means that are at hand for not
withstanding the various agen-
cies, physical, moral and intellectu-
al. which threaten to overturn our
existing civil and social institu-
tions. The Rev DR. Phillip Schatf
gives a sketch of the "Develop-
ment of Religious Freedom" DR.
Felix /, Oswald writes of "Chan-
ges in the Climate of North Amer
ica," with special reference to the

trous floods. Prot Q A Eggert
