When the civil war broke out the remnant
of the Southern Wings went into the Confed
eracv. and when the war was over they be-
came Democrats. 1t is not strange that these
ex-Whigs of the South should come to the
surface again as protectionist Democrats; but
there are few of them. comparatively speak
ing. The ravages Of war and time have
thfnned their ranks. Those who remain are
in the new epoch, but are not OF 1t: There
are few ghostslwho peep out of their tombs

A gentleman by the name of Thomas
". Knox, who is said to know a great
deal about the power and resources of
China, has written to the New York
Times advising France to "think twice
before entering upon war with the Ce-
Iestial Empire" It's a pity Mr.. Knox
did not speak up little sooner, and make
his communication direct to President
Grevy. 1t is feared that he has waited until
France has gone too far to recede with
dignity. When a man is able to give good
advice, he ought to do it in time for it to
be profitable.

In the Times of Friday, December %,
is this dispatch from Arkansas:
"BRINKLEY, ARK, Dec. 27.-The body OF
Pexn Grit, negro preacher, was found
yesterday, six miles from town. beside a hog
which he had killed. 1t is believed that he
was shot immadietely afterkilling the hog"
The inference is that the coon was steal
ing the hog. This is bit of race preju-
dice, utterly unworthy the Associated
Press, which should have cOntented itself
with reporting the facts, and not tried to
stir up a Republican reaction in Arkan-
saw by adding what sis believed" AS a
resident of some weeks standing of the
enlightened State of Arkansaw { a State,
sir, which requires only little more pOpu-
latiOn, wealth and soil to make it the peer
of any State in this mighty Union },
cannot remain silent and see my
foster home thus maligned. The plain
facts are that the coon and the hog were
found lying side by side, both dead, with
bullets through them. The hog certainly
had no reason to complain; If | were as
gaunt and thin as an Arkansaw hog
should sit on a fence and sing, 81 would
not live alwaysw But it is an attack
upon the honesty and intelligence of the
cOlored citizens of this State to insinuate
that one of them, especially clergyman,
would steal a hog and eat polk when every
hen-roost is loaded with chickens. Be
sides, sir, 2 man of such intelligence
would not havs shot the hog, and thus had
to carry him home. Thatfwould have in
volved too much labor. He would have
driven the hog home first and killed him
afterWard. Such is the invariable
custom. There is no evidence
of the presence of any third per-
son. The hog and the clergyman got
into a little alteration. No Arkansaw
hog would think Of going abroad without
his revolver any more than a coon would
stir out without his razor. Arkansaw
hogs always go armed. This is no idle
fancy. L have seen great many armed
hogs, not only in Arkansaw, but in other
States. The alteration led to a little
'spersonal difficulty" which there is only
one way to settle ''amOng gentlemen"
The fire seems to have been simultaneous.
Let us not speak harshly of the dead, but
bury the one under the willow and con-
vert the other into sassages. Do my State
this Justice, Mr.. Editor, and cast not vile
filings at her best citizens. w. ID.

Cheap whisky vs.. Cheap Necessaries.

UWtLUIV AFtVNFtV
The remission of the whisky and tobacco
taxes would substantially wipe out the entire
surplus revenue, and the necessities Of the
Government economically administered" Ito
quote from the Ohio Democratic platform
would be sufficient excuse for maintaining
thei present tariff tolls, and would even exact
an increase instead of a reduction. Tea and
coffee would again have to be taxed to make
up enough revenue. The plan simply means
cheap whisky and dear goods. No other in
terpretation can be put upon it.

Iished in Boston, Commonwealth Of
Massachusetts, January l, 1884," 1t is in
old style type and about the size Of a

meagre at that. Over 100000 copies Of

held in Boston on Monday last, as we
learn from the Globe, to take into con-
sideration the condition of affairs. Among
the speakers was Rev. DR.. Sheldon Jack
son. who has been to the Territory three
times and devoted considerable attention
TO the study Of the people and their moral
and mental needs. In 1877 he went 10
Alaska and established a school at Fort
WrangeU. In 1878 he went again ana
erected a 81, 600 building, the school then
numbering only so pupils. Several smaii
schools were afterwards established, but
the attendance was small, and the results
have not been at all commensurate Win
the efforts made. The extent OF the couh-
fry and the scattered population render
the education of the people matter OF
extreme difficulty, and over half of the
naonle are not provided with even the
samblance of school facilities.
The meeting took strong grounds, not
only in favor Of the United States estab-
fishing an effective government for the
territory, but especially urged on Con-
gress the necessity Of making an appro-
priation for an industrial and training
school at Sitka, and petition was drawn
up asking Senator Dawes to place the
matter before Congress at the present ses-
sion.
Little progress can be expected in the
| education and civilization Of Alaska until
| it has some form of government, and Con-
/ gress will doubtless make provision for IL
at an early day. When that is done re-
ligious bodies and philanthroplc indlyidu-
ais will redouble their efforts in behalf Of
the natives. The establishment OF an IN
dustrial school would be a great factor IN
the accomplishment of the objects propos.
ed, and moderate appropriation may pro
| badly be made for that purpose.

THE PRESIDENT WILL SOON APPOINT A
UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEY

for the District of Columbia. Col. George
B. Corkhill is the present incumbent. He
is regarded as a failure here in the dis
trict. The District bar looks on
him as weak. So does every
body else who knows him. When
he was appointed to the place four years
ago by Hayes, George II. Butler, the
brilliant but erratic nephew of Massachu-
sets Ben, exclaimed: "What! George
Corkhill made District Attorney? l thank
God that / am a criminal" Despite the
general sentiment here that COrkhill
ought not to be reappointed, he almost
certainly will be. 1t is evident that out
side of Washington he is regarded as a
very great man. His picture was printed
broadcast throughout the land during the
Guiteau trial. His name was daily in
every paper of the country. He had to
stand up and take the low
abuse which Guiteau daily hurled at him.
He became some sort of a martyr in the
outside public eye. COrkhill knows how
to take advantage of this. He has had
numerous petitions sent from various
parts of the country asking the President
to reappoint him. And then he is a
brother-in-law of Justice Miller, of the
United States Supreme Court.
