JUST AS AN INSTANCE OF WHAT
CAEY WOULD DO. IF THEY
COULD.

1t is quite commonly known that
The REGISTER was the official paper
of the county during the year 1884.
AS such it was the duty of every coun-
ty officer to furnish it with the copy of
all official statements and announce
ments required by law to be published.
Sometime before the late election we
noticed that the "Sheriff's Proclama-
ton of Election" was being published
by the Interstate. Soon after that.
in October and November we noticed
that the Interstate was also publish
ing the County Treasurer's Tax No
tice. Neither of these documents had
been furnished THE REGISTER, al
though they were official documents
and it was the official paper. Think
ing to see whether or not the Inter-
State published them merely as mat
tiers Of news with no hope of reward,
we watched the bills that were hand
ed in to the county commissioners at
their recent meeting. True to our sus-
picions we found two bills handed IN
by the Interstate. One of five dol
lars for publishing the Sheriff7s Elec-
ton Proclamation and one of S15.OO|
"for publishing tax notice four weeks
by order of III. II. Hayward, treasur-
er." Now, as matter of fact, the law
only requires the tax notice to be pub
lished two weeks; yet here is bill for
publishing it four weeks. Besides this
the Interstate knew perfectly well
that The REGISTER had entered into
a.contract with the county commits
sioners whereby it agreed to publish |
all such notices as the election procla-
nation and the tax notice free OIL
charge. 1t knew perfectly well when
it handed in that bill for $50 that it
was asking pay for advertising which
ought never to have been given to it
in the first place except as matter of
news, and for the publication of which
the county had already contracted.
The Board very properly disallowed
both bills, but the fact that he failed
to get the money, does not relieve the
exponent of retronchment
and reform who runs the Interstate
rom the suspicion of having attempt
ID to collect money to which he was
not entitled. Aside from this little
Unpleasant reflection, however, the
whole transaction is very gratifying as
t gives another proof of that brotherly
for which democratic breth-
Ell have always been celebrated.
They ::'ways stand by one another,
it is according to the stat
'ots" or not, and never let so small a
hing as an edict of the county COM

prevent them from patronizing one

Victor HugO.

[The Rev. Myron Reed of Denver.1
 I should throw the dead kings out of their chamber in Westminster Abbey and give Victor Hugo the whole place. It is true that the kings of the mind and the heart take their place of right. I noticed in my visit to Westminster that the people were in no anxiety to get into the presence of dead roy alty I heard no inquiries made for any one of the Georges. The poets corner seemed to be the point of attraction. The slab on which is carved "Charles Dickens" was in quired for. But the great ones of earth seem to be gone or going. Thomas Carlyle, Emerson, George Eliot and now Victor Hugo these are four and there is no fifth. I have comforting thought, for greatness is rela- tive and preserves average ittleness. So- crates is seen across the centuries lonely figure, the one visible of millions. What company in his own time had Marcus Aure- lius! Plutarch had to be patient and search diligently and wide and long to recruit his battalion of heroes. But now the earth is getting flat Every valley is exalted and that is perhaps the reason that the noun tains are brought low. There has been a good deal of heavy filling done. The aver age grade of mankind is higher. Our com mon people are not the common people of day before yesterday. The printed word tends to make an uneven world plain. The swamp being drained lifts whole some harvest to the sun, and the noun tain, being blown upon by the ferce wind wrought upon by frost and heat, wears away. Who is the great man of to-daya It is an idle question. The great princi- ples that make great men are now diffused among the people. The lightning of fame, instead of striking one man, now strikes on the shields and swords of a marching host. No man now has all eyes on him in the Senate or on the street. One may well de- spair of being the great man of the world
 What remains! Let every man make the most of himself

HOW TO HELP THE NEGRO.

The Rev. R. w. Memminger breaches in Charleston, South Carolina, and takes much interest in the discussion now going on con- corning the condition and prospects of the negro Bishop Dudley, MT. Cable and other friends of the negro have declared that the negro is poor, miserable creature. incapa- ble of taking care of himself, and that it is the duty of the white man to do various things for him. But Mr Memmingers idea is very different. He does not believe that the negro is deteriorating in freedom. On the contrary he thinks that he 'shas inn proved since his emancipation, and in every way-materially, intellectually and morally The morals of the slave are one thing; the morals of the freeman another. The negro, formerly controlled by master, is now learn ing to control himself. It is time of trans itien with him, of readjustment and develop ment. And white men, however philan- thropic, cannot do for him what in the na- ture of things, he must do for himself. In the path of free agency, of self-help, he is learning self-reliance and self-control, and is making as rapid progress could reasona- ply be expected, all the circumstances con sidersd.
 Believing this MT. Memminger emphatical- ly dissents from the conclusions of Messrs. Dudley and Cable and those who think with them. He says: The negro is not such poor, feeble, miserable crea- ture as these would-be philanthropists are pleased to imagine. He is able to take care of himself He does not want any of our well-meant yet oficious tenders of assistance. Let him alone and he will manage to work out his destiny and successfully. "Sep- aration from us" says Bishop Dudley, ''is for the negro destruction" On the contrary it is his salvation. ''Their religion is su- perstition, their sacraments are fetishes their worship wild frenzy, their morality a shame" Of each and every clause in this sweeping indictment we boldly say that it is not true. It is 8 islander. Superciliousness is always offensive, it is devoid of sympathy, is therefore powerless to do good, only re- pels. Every one of us knows that the negro is improved by his religion; it is vastly civilizing influence over his life; all of us are ever willing to contribute towards the building of churches for the colored man. We all acknowledge the influence of religion as ciyilizing factor in the development of the negro character. Such an indictment indicates total misunderstanding of the sit uation, and an absolute pessimism in one's view as to the possibilities of the negro race. Our duty, then, to the black man is to let him alone. To treat him with justice and courtesy, just as we are ac- customed to treat any other fellowman; when he is in trouble to do what we can for him. We cannot make him, by artificial, hot-house methods. God has made him such as he is and he will maae himself what God has made him to be. Hands off.
 This is refreshing. And, so far as the facts are plain, they give quite as much sup port to this view as to the other. The negro is doing very well for himself and with time and patience he will undoubtedly do better.

 Richard Henry Homan, who failed in Chi cae in 1874, is very old-fashioned man. He paid fifty cents on $1 of his $75,000 debts at the time of the catastrophe, but less than week ago settled the whole matter cent for cent, according to his promise eley- en years ago. One creditor had died and left widow and family in a rather destitute condition, and the unexpected cheek seemed to them as a heaven-sent legacy.
 The Journal of Inebriety thinks that the cumulative action of alcohol on the brain centers exists to greater extent than is gen. orally supposed. Many men who drink reg ularly through the day and seem no worse for it become intoxicated late at night, although they have not used spirits during the evening" ''It appears, says the editor, ssthat alcohol, like bromide, may remain in the system to some extent without producing any marked action, and then suddenly, from some unknown cause, burst into great activi- ty, producing profound intoxication." The reasons for this do not seem to be definitely understood, though they are thought to be of combined physiological and psyoholog- ical nature, and partly due to climatic con ditions.
