branch lines tolmake productive these
vast sources of wealth. Capital unfet-
tered and uncontrolled will speedily
open these magnificent mines, quar-
ries and forests. Capital hampered,
and fettered by the hostile hand of
legislation, will leave them for years
untouched Shall we encourage re-
pressive measures, and leave this
great wealth undeveloped, and neg
lected, or shall we vote down such
measures, in order that we may
meet capital, eager and anxious
for profitable investments? If we
want lower rates of transportation
they can be had, and the best and
speediest way to accomplish this, is
to leave capital free and unhamper-
ed. This will cause Competition.
Tn an article in the May number,
1884, of the North american Reuielc
Mr.. Lansing, in an able article en-
titled 'The Railway and the State"
says:
"Competition Of parallel lines by
"water or by rail, is the surest
'possible guarantee of the lowest
''rates and best service, This is a
generally admitted truth, and is
'pr9ren by all experience. So inn
"pertant has this direct competition
"been considered, that a select COM
"mittee of the q. s. Senate on trans
''portation, in 1874, prescribed it as
"the best remedy for the evils cons
"nected with the subject, which ex-
'iSted or were anticipated. In the
conclusion of their report they say,
"we are unanimously of the opinion
"that the problem of cheap trans
''portdtion is to be solved through
''c0mpetiti0n as here in often stated,
''rdther than By direct congressional
''regulati0AS of eriStiag lines" And
the writer further remarkes.
"Ho shift control (of the roads)
"from owner to commissioners, only
"shifts it from the responsible and
interested, to the irresponsible and
"non-interested i 4 y The con-
troll of the trade by the State, though
directing the management and fix
ing the vote Of railroads, must re-
suit as similar efforts have resulted
in the past, in interference, in re-
strlction, instead of extension, in an
injury instead Of a benefit. Patrick
Henry once said, "the light by
which he was guided was by the
lamp of experience" 1t furnishes
certainly light enough to guide us
safely through the dangers which
now threaten us, in this regard
Other States have suffered keenly
and deeply the results of reckless
disregard of the plain rules ofpolit-
ical economy, Of the invasion Of the
rights of others, for the sake ofgrat-
flying once popular error. Destroy
the roads, and the future Of our
State is indeed gloomy

= f.-..-.s cance.
Cleveland the Friend of Work
ingmen.
New York Times und. Rep }

There is little evidence that the
workingmen Of this State are ops
posed to Gov. Cleveland as there is
ground for opposition. 1t will be
observed that most representations
to the effect that his course as Gov
ernor has been uhfriendly to the
interest of laboring men, and that
as consequence they are unfriend-
ly to him, emanate from those who
have no authority to speak for work
ingmen, but who have some griev-
ance of their own against the fears
less Governor, or some object to be
promoted by stirring up discomfort
The first and most persistent in de-
claring that workingmen are not
friendly to Cleveland has been the
Tammany leaders. Their purpose
was clear to the simplest understand
ing. They had their own reasons
for opposing the Governor, which
have been sufficiently shown up in
the last few weeks. To give any
show Of strength to their opposition
they are forced to claim that he
would lose votes in this State which
some other Democratic candidate
might get. What votes wonld he
lose :? Tammany would not direct
ly admit that such votes as it could
control wsuld be withheld from the
nsminee because the Governor had
made an enemy of Grady and re-
fused to be subservient to the wishes
of. Kelly. Such anadmissien would
be too honest and straightforward to
come from such q source. In cast
ing about for classot voters which
could with more or less plausibility
be represented as against the Gov
ernor, Tammany seized upon the
labering men as o class for which q
grievance might be manufactured.
WHAT WAS THE GRIEVANCE

wicked and atroeious cruelty with
which John A. Logan pursued the
negroes in Illinois. This is the man
who is traducing and vilifying the
South and charging our people with
being slave drivers and hostile to
the blacks. Logan's bill selling free
negroes into slavery was monstrous
in its provisions yet, in the face OF
such barbarity toward the colored
people who had fed to the free. soil
Of Illinois for protection, he now
comes forward as the champion of
the -enfranchised blacks. He re-
fused the negro shelter in misfor-
tame, but now claims the vote Of
the race he proposed to sell into
slavery for the crime of being free
and daring to locate in the free
State of Illinois. Blaine, tattooed
with his corrupt schemes, is hide
Jus monster. But cartoon repre-
senting Logan on the block auction
eering free negroes and mulattOes
to the highest bidder-selling them
into slavery-because they were
unfit to live as freemen in Illinois,
will present picture still more dis
gusting and revolving. Logan, now
that the negroes are enfranchised,
regards them as "the wards of tho
nation ;'"ibut in 1853 he regarded it
as Hhigh misdemeanor" for them
to pollute the soil of Illinois with
their presence and proposed to hunt
them down with all the ferocity of
an African slave dealer or the
Southern slave-driver with blood
hounds in pursuit Of their runaway
negroes, with the view OF making
slaves of freemen who had either
purchased their freedom or been
emaneipated by their owners. Un-
der the provisions of Logan's slave
code, if the negroes did not leave
the State in ten days after regain~
ing their freedom they were again
placed on the block and the punish
ment increased by extending the
period of ownership and slavery.
Less than thirty years ago Logan
regarded the negro as a nuisance in
Illinois net to be tolerated, and he |
was hunted down like a wild beast.
IF the colored people are not lest to
shame and selfrespect they will |
east a s0hd vote against the man
who persecuted them in the dark
days Of slavery, but now that they
are voters would humbug them into
the belief that he has always been
their friend. 1t has cost the Appeal
much labor to hunt up this damn
ing record. The colored voter will
be lotb to believe it, but Logan and
his friends dare not deny tits readi-
ly found In the record of the Illinois
written in letters which
time cannot obliterate, making

FEMALE LIFE CHINA.

The dark side of female life in
China is exposed to view in letter
from a missionary to the American
Beard published in the Missionary
Herald. Speaking of a visit TO
village about thirty miles from Pc
kin, the writer says awe found
here new invention for the de-
struction of infant girls 1t is simp
ly for the mother-in law to take n
willow dust pan and fan the little
creature until life is extinct. The
doctor found one young mother
weeping over the murder of her in~
FAINT, whom the mother-in- law had
allowed to live two weeks before
smothering it The poor girl was
sick and weak, yet she was pushed
about and kicked like a dog, and
scoffed at when she wept The
husband is helpless in such case.
If son is the first born, the young
mother is tolerated if daughter,
her lot is most miserable The only
retribution feared by the mother-in-
law is that the young wife will COM
nit suicide, whom her family may
come en- masse and tear down the
house of her oppressors. They
manage to keep. if possible, inside
the limit of their persecution which
drives to suicide; but they make
her life more miserable than you
can conceive. But these same wives,
when they become aged and ugly,
are cruel as death to the young wo-
men who fall INTO their hands"
Philadelphia Times 1t will be
no neck and neck race, Vermont
will first give token of the ebb or
flow of the Republican tide, by
reduced or increased majority early
IN September, and Maine will fol-
low and swell the winning tide by
large or small majority later in
the same month. A majority of fif-
teen thousand for Blaine's candiA
date for Governor in Maine would
be an unerring index of a Blaine
tide, and a majority under ten
thousand would clearly indicate
chilling storms for Blaine in No
vember OHIO and West Virginia
will be likely to vote practically one
way. If both vote Republican, as
would be more than possible with
the popular current in favor of
Blaine, the national contest would
be almost irreyocably settled in his
favor. If both vote Democratic, or
if West Virginia shall vote Demo-
cratic and Ohie give only nominal
Republican majority, the election
of Cleveland would bo next to GER
tain.
