AN APPEAL FROM THE SOUTH.

Let no one imagine, fIom what is
here said, that the south is careless of
Lha opinion or regardless of the counsel
of the outside world. On the contrary,
while maintaining firmly position she
believes to be essential. she appreciates
heartily the value of general sympathy
and confidence. With an earnestness
that is little less than pathetic she be-
speaks the patience and the impartial
Judgment of all concerned. Surely her
situation should command this, rather
than Indifference or antagonIsm. In
poverty and defeat-w:th her cities de-
stroyed, her fields desolated, her labor
disorganiZed, heI homes in ruins, her
families scattered, and the ranks of Der
sons decimated-in the face of univeT-
sal prejudice, famed by the storm of
war into hostility and hatred-under
the shadow of this sorrow and this dis
advantage, she turned bravely to con-
front problem that would have taxed
to the utmost every resource of rich
and powerful and victorious people. Ev
cry inch of her progress has been beset
with sore difficulties, and If the way is
now clearing it only reveals mOrS clear
ly the tremendous import OF the work
to which her hands are given. 1t must
be understood that she desires to silence
no criticism, evade no issue, and lessen
no responsibility. She recognizes that
the negro is here to stay. She knows
that her honor, heI dear name and her
fame no less than her prosperity. will
be measured by the fullness of the JUS
tice she gives and guarantees to this
kindly and dependent race. She knows
that every mistake made and every er-
ror fallen into no matter how innocent
lY, endangeTs her peace and her reputa-
tion. In this full knowledge she accepts
the issue without fear or evasion. She
says. not boldly, but conscious of the
honesty and the wisdom of her cOnvic-
tions Leave this problem to my work
ing out. | will solve it in calmness aud
without passion or preju-
dice. and with full regards for the un-
speakable equities it holds. Judge me
rigidly, but judge me by my works."
And with the South the matter may be
left-must be left. There it can be left
with the fullest confidence that the
honor of the republic will be maintain
ed, the right of humanity guarded, and
the problem worked out with such exact
Justice as the finite mind can measure
or finite agencies administer.

DURING the late extra session Of the
Senate the President nominated a man
named Magraw as Collector of Internal
Revenue for West Virginia. He was
recommended for the position by the en-
the Democratic delegation Of the State,
but the Senate did not act on the nomi-
nation. The present incumbent is one
Mccormick, who, like most Republican
Office holders, thinks that the possession
of an Office gives him a right to a fee
simple in it, and is said to be getting
up charges to show that Magraw is not
fiji person TO be appointed. He even
denies the right, it is said, of the Presi.
dent to remove him. All this is refresh
ingly cool on the part of Mccormick,
but as the tenure of Office act don't ap-
ply to Internal Revenue officers, Nc
COrmick will be wakened up some day
soon by knowledge of the fact that he
has been struck by very large slice of
the day Of judgment, ard he will then
learn that the political world moves.

Two years ago the Legislature failed
to pass a sill then before it fixing the
salaries Of county officers in seventeen
counties Cambria being among them,
containing a population Of over fOrty
and less than siTty thousand. A similar
bill dividing the various counties of the
State into classes, fixing the salaries of
county officers and requiring the pay.
ment Of the fees of sach officers into
the county treasures, is pending in the
Senate and has been discussed on two
OF three occasions. The last time the
bill was before the Senate, which was
on the SLh of April, il was so loaded
down with amendments that its author
didn't recognize his own child, and in
sheer desperation moved pOstpOnement
Of its further consideration. We learn
from Harrisburg that there is not much
chance Of the bill passing the present
Legislature, and for that reason it
would be a mere waste of time to state
in detail the salaries which the bill pro-
poses to fix for county officers under the
classification embracing Cambria. That
the pay Of county officers should be by
salary and not by fees seems to be gen
orally conceded. and why there should
be any serious difficulty with the Legis-
lature in fixing their salaries in the diff
fereut classes of counties is hard to un-
derstand. In this county the pay of the
county officers under the present fee
sya.,n is Hos more than it ought to be,
Wl-u he exception OF the County Trea-
surer whose percentage for several years
uudor the act of Assembly regulating
it, has amounted to nearly folu thou
sand dollars annually, which is out OF
all proportion to the work he Is required

No BULLDOZING IN NAVY YARDS
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Secretary
Whitney has written the following let
ter to Commodore John II. Russell,
Commandant of the Mare Island Navy
Yard, relative to the coercion of the
vote Of that yard by the foremen:
"Since assuming the duties of this
Office my attention has been called to the
conduct of the foremen of the Mare ISL
and Navy Yard in elections in past
years, particularly in 1882. After read
ing the testimony in the contested cleo
tion cases of Buck agt. Dadley, taken
in the fall of 1888, there is no doubt IN
my mind that the vote of the yard was
practically coeTced and controlled by the
fOIGmen, either with or without orders.
TIE men were obliged TO take their bal
lots in a folded form from a table pre-
sided oyer by one or more of the fore
men to hold the ballot in sight while
walking to the polls 100 feet distant, be-
tween men stationed for the purpose of
preventing any change of ballots on
their part, and to deposit the ballot
without having had the opportunity to
see ar know its contents, or to exercise
any choice for whom they should vote,
Il find that the same foTemen who
conducted this proceeding are still at
the yard in the various depaTtments.-
Great complaint is made to me of SINH
lar proceedings IN other years but |
have already read sufficient Of this sworn
testimony to satisfy me that the men
who were engaged in that proceeding as
fOTemen, directing and controlling it,
should be cleared out of the yard in the
interest o! decent government, and if
any similar proceeding or ANYTHING like
1t, or any attempt to cOeTce the vote Of
the employees of the yard by foremen or
superior officers should take place here
after. whether in The interest of the
dominant party or otherwise, / will ap-
ply a similar remedy, Appointments
in place of the persons discharged wiz
be made temporarily, and upon trial,
until efficient men ihall have been OBJ
tanned.
''In this connection I desire to say
that the bureau officers here complain
greatly Of the delays and the extTaordi-
nary expense required to do work at the
Mare Island yard. ask your special
attention to these matters, in the hope
that you will cooperate with me in an
effort to bring the yard to greater eff
cheney, and to eliminate these objection
able features from it."

THE distribution at the expense of
the State Treasury of Smull's LegisIa-
tive Hand Book by members Of the Leg
islatuEe, received a sudden and no doubt
an unexpected check on last Monday
night, by the Governor sending to the
House his veto of the bill authorizing
the printing of $1,000 additional copies
of that work for the use of the mem
bers of the two houses. The bill had
passed the House first and then the Sem
ate by large majorities, for where the
State becomes the paymaster there is
usually great unanimity in favor of any
project whose purpose is to promote a
grab. The Governor in his veto states
that existing laws provide for printing
ten thousand copies of the Hand Book
which have already been published and
delivered to the members for distribu-
tion, and he thinks that the State in the
interest of economy ought not to be
called on to pay for any additional mum.
Der. He is also of the opinion that the
utility of Smulrs Hand Book, or the
need of a general dissemination Of the
information it contains. as a govern
ment measure, is more fanciful than re-
al, and that the present law makes am
pie provision for it's distribution. He
also reminds the Legislature that the
free distribution of Purdon's Digest is
equally as meritoriOus a measure, if not
more so, and that the excuse of furnish
ing the people with useful information
was invoked in former years for great
extrayagance in the issue of that work
for the use of the members. Who don't
remember with what regularity when
he was member of the House for ten
or twelve consecutive years, Sam JO-
sephs at the beginning of every session
offered a resolution directing the Chief
Clerk to purchase, of course at the ex-
pense of the State, copy OF Purdon for
each member. Sam always took his
copy home with him at the end of the
session, and when he retired from Tegis-
lative life and honOrs he had enough
copies Of the Digest to supply at re-
duced price the one-half of all the AL
dermen in Philadelphia. In view
this timely veto we trust that the last
effort has been made to swindGe the
State by procuring the publication of
any ertrd copies of Smull7s Hand Book.
II has had most extraordinary Iun of
luck.

THE relations between England and
ireland, in case of war with Russia
taxing the energies of the United King.
dom, is a matter of much speculation.
England's trouble is generally ITeland's
opportunity. The Boston. TTaUelLer, a
journal not specially favorable to Ire
land. thinks the outcome of such war
wOnld Of necessity be vastly beneficial
to the Erich people. This IS It's reason
ing:
Among other questions that war be-
tween England and Russia would settle
is the irish question. Hungary achiev-
legislative Independence as a result of
AIstria7s grappie with Prussia nineteen
years ago. Engaged in a fight foT her
Indian Empire with Russia, we should
be surprised il one of the first strokes of
British statecraft was not an attempt to
purchase Ireland 3 good will by granting
her the parliamentary separat ion--HOme
Rule, which The National lists have so
long and gallantly struggled for. This
being conceded to her, it is probable
that Ireland would become as strong
and loyal member of the Joint imperi-
al conCsrn as Hungary now is of the
AuStrO- hungarian combination Mr.
Parnell and his colleagues are as well
aware as anybody that, if she had her
local Autonomy, ireland has q great deal
10 gain from a partnership for external
purposes with Great Britain. The splen-
did Indian dependencies are full of pla-
ces for the profitable employment of
administrative ability, in which Irish
men age already numeTOGsly engaged
and they would no doubt claim and Sc
cure a larger share of these positions If
they we're heartily Teconeiled to the im-
periaf connection. But for Mr.. Glad

y STRONG MAN.-LOuisville comes
to the front again with the strongest
man in the country. HIS name is John
BernhaTdt, but he resembles the divine
Sara in name only, though he is a native
of Alsace, in the south Of France
BeTnhaTdt is a newcomer to Louisville,
and is employed in the foundry depart
ment of a down town factory, where his
feats of strength are daily exhibited to
the astOnishment of his fellow labOrers.
He is p years old, feet 4 inches in
height. and weighs 256 pounds, and with
no surplus flesh. He is not fat. but is
the finest specimen of muscular man
hood seen here for long time. \ Post
reporter called in to see bin, and had
a short Interview with the bTawny
Frenchmau. He is of magnificent build,
straight as an Indian. His chest is
broad and deep, and his chin ard cheek
bones show great strength but his
arms are wonderful, and around the BIZ
ceps measure seventeen inches. His
hands look like bacon hams. His skin
is smooth and red though he never takes
a drop of intoxicating liquor and was
never drunk in his life.
He gave the reporter a few exEibi-
tions of his strength, Taking a piece
of iron which was afterward fOund to
weigh fortythTee pounds, Bernhard
held il horizontally at arms length for
several minutes. He then raised a huge
piece of block iron from the ground and
placed it on the scales. 1t pulled S64
pounds. Taking piece of bar iron two
inches wide and one iuch thick. and pla-
cling it across his knees, he bent it east
ly. He took hold of a 40 gallon barrel
of water aud, balancing himself against
a post. he went through the motion of
drinking out Of the bung-hOle. He
took piece Of seasoned oak about the
size of a wagon spoke aud broke it with
his hands He did various other won
derful things which demonstrated the
possession of IN ost extraordinary
strength.
Bernhard says that he was never in
the prize ring, but that he is not afraid
to meet John L. Sullivan or any other
man. He Processes to fell an OK with
his bare fist, and often killed kOgs in
that manner while employed in a Chi
cago pOrk-pac2ing establishments. His
hands are as hard as wood, and stroke
from one OF them would not differ much
from a stroke of a -LCaiSUlUe
