USE FOR AN EDISON INVENTION.

1t is announced that a company Of Ger
man scientists, about to penetrate to the
interior of Africa, will utilize the Edison
photograph during the excursion. The
object is to bring back with them a record
of the various tongues spoken by the
African tribes, in form that will permit
of their reproduction vocallyIand conse-
quently of their study. For this purpose
machine is being specially constructed
for their use. From what we know of the
monograph in this country the scheme
will be failure, unless the Edison phono-
graph is greatly improved upon. If any
lone African should happen in after years
in Berlin, and hear his language ground
out from Edison's machine, he will be less
loyal to his tribal tongue than such q say
age should be if he does not smash the
mangler of human speech promptly. As
toy the phonograph has use-that Of
satisfying curiosity. Probably it has in it
suggestion of POSSIBILITIES of usefulness. But
as it is, it is failure And by the way, ii
is to be noted that comparatively few of
Mr.. Edisons great inventions" fill the
promise of their birth. 1t is charged that
he is by no means original, also, and that
at best he is but copyist and an i'm
prove" upon the product OF other mems
genius. His quadruplex Geographic in
strument is boldly assailed as but the
duplication in double form of a prior in
vention; that his incandescent electric
light is not even novel, so far as he is con-
cerned that his electrical railway involves
nothing that is an advance upon former
appliances. 1t must be confessed that his
greater inventions" do not come into use
as was anticipated; that his more useful
discoveries" are after all not new, and
that his performance has by no means kept
pace with his promise. Ii may be that the
world misudgeS him, but it is certainly
true that it has reason to express its disap-
pointment.

JEFF. DAVIS.

Jefferson Davis, late President Of the
Confederate States OF America, has written
letter to the Committee of Management
of the July military encampment of the
Georgia State troops, in which he gives
new evidence of the fact that at least one
rebel remains unreconstructed. For instance,
he speaks of the war for State sover-
eighty" and the sons of those who so nobly
fought for the cause" and adds Borne
down by overwhelming numbers, Southern
resistance to wrong and ustrpation proved
unavailing, but believing, as did and do,
that the cause was just, that we were but
asserting the eternal truths on which our
fathers founded American independence,
and which, sooner or later, | hope and be-
lieve the American people Will reassert,
cannot admit that ours was lost cause"
There is one virtue in such etIrontery-
with the approach of summer cool things
are timely If Mr.. Davis was half as wise
as he is proclaimed to be he would have
enough of modesty to restrain him from
making such silly expressions. He hopes,
he says, that it may not be necessary to
vindicate the cause by second resort to
arms" but, etc. Mr.. Davis lives to some
purpose after all. He bobs up serenely
just in time to recall to the memory of the
people the terrible struggle in which he
and his doctrines went down, and the in
tegrity of the Union was preserved 10y the
firmncss, bravery and wisdom of RePub
lican President, and the ACCESSIBILITY Of
keeping Republicans in the Presidential
chair until all who applaud the utterances
of the rebel chieftain are beyond the posi-
bility Of doing harm on earth.

compelled to devote portion of second
day to the task. The incident serves to
point moral, but it does not adorn the
tale. The unwillingness of citizens to do
duty as such; to share the burdens as well
as the privileges of government; the read
mess with which they excuse themselves
from duty, and the ease with which they
avoid the obligations of good citizenship,
lie at the root of the evil of non-enforce-
ment of the criminal laws, and the escape
of the guilty. 1t is probable that should
a riot occur owing to failure Of justice in
Oakland, the men who evaded that officer,
or pleaded off the panel, viii be in the
forefront of indignant citizens to denounce
the Courts and the law officers and the in
competents and rag-tag that are drafted to
jury duty. The truth is, that such shames
as the Cincinnati outbreak are to be laid
directly at the door of the goody-goody
class of citizens, who don't bother about
politics. who never attend primary y
who are too busy to visit the Courts :
who are too pure and good to mingle
among politicians and help administer
government No man has a right to open
his mouth against the triumph of crimi-
nality, the victories of the venal, the
degradation of the Courts, the decadenee
of the jury system, the filth of politics.
the corruption of officials, etc, who toasts
his toes at home when he should serve his
country, or gives his whole attention to

CANADA's DECADENCE.

\ strong effort is being made in Canada
to secure the passage of a law legalizing
lotteries. 1t is significant of deeadence
Of the moral sentiment of people when
such proposition IS even tolerated. If
Canada sets up such law it will be said
that most of her people are at heart
gamblers. Lottery dealing is the worst
known form Of gaming; the one game in
which the bettor cannot witness the deal
ing by the banker; the one game into
which men being drawn it is almost impos-
sible to win them away. The SecreSy with
which lottery gaming may be prosecuted
makes it all the more demoralizing. To
legalize a system that debauches youth,
involves age and contaminates all, is to
deliberately give over people to vice
almost unreasonable nits damnable effects.

THE LATE CONSPIRACY,

There have been political conspiracies
which have startled nations, that have
fallen short Of overt rebellion. But, in the
history Of free and independent States, no
holder or worse political scheme is re-
corded than that recently made in this
sovereign State to seize upon the tribunal
known as the Railroad Commission. 1t
does not as yet stand out in all the fullness
of Its viciousness, but as TING passes and
passions give way to reason and preudices
yield to Justice, it Will be recognized as in
the forefront of villanous conspiracies
and Will serve to mark a period in State
history to which the people will point as a
blot upon our political record that even
the attrition Of years will not efiace. 1t
was a conspiracy concocted for the sole
purpose Of coercing the transportation IN
terests Of the State, and of extorting
money from and commanding the in
fuence of transportation associations for
selfish ends
The influence of money in the political
affairs of the country is justly regarded as
dangerous and necessarily corrupting
Likewise is the influence of money in the
political interests Of railroad companies.
Railroad men viii not be found to take the
contrary view They, as well as other
men, know that their interests are politi-
cally assailed with the hope of compelling
the corporations to use money influences
in self-protection. Indeed, this has been
true Of all associations handling aggre-
gated capital-they are always, and
always have been, assailed for the purposes
named But it is also true that the world
has assumed that far more of political in
fuence has been exerted by associated cap
ital than the truth warrants. 1t has the
stigma attached of buying purchasable men
and controlling political cliques, because
purchasable men and political cliques
have given the occasion. In this State the
Democrats, asserting that the railroad COM
panies had no right to interfere with the
politics of the country, absolutely under
took to coerce them to do so. They pre-
tended to be anti-railroad, and yet they
conceived a scheme whereby the railroad
should drive the people into voting the
Democratic ticket. Denying the right of
the railroad companies to interfere with
politics, they determined to put their inter
ests at such risk as to make them the in
struments of oppression. This was in all
respects the most damnable scheme ever
conceived 1t is capable OF demonstration
in every particular as we have asserted. 1t
was conspiracy Matched in the interest of
George Hearst, fostered and wet-nursed by
Clarence Greathouse, and brought to de-
velopment by the weakness of Governor
Stoneman, who was made the tool of the
scheme. We make these assertions, fully
conscious of the gravity of their import,
but knowing history will vindicate them
as verify. Their elaboration and analysis
may serve for further expression.

should hear nothing of the trouble the

is asked under it this year $l3O0O,00O. OF
this amount probably S5,OOO,OOO or Sc, OOO,-
600 should be vetoed, and would be if the
Federal Executive had the authority.
The whole trouble about the bill each
year arises ont of the fact that Congress
men clap riders upon it. These rid
