A FALSE PROPHET.

There are two false prophets in Egypt
and there is at least one in Chicago, for at
the LOGAN banquet on Tuesday Mr.,
MEDILL said: 1.-Two years from now the
house of representatives will join the
senate as Republican body, I predict. "
We do not claim the gift of prophecy; we
are content to base future calculations on
the indications which the course of events
affords. In the light of the present we do
not see any purpose on the part OF the
American people to reverse the verdict
which they recorded with such emphasis
last November. The Democratic party is
pleased with the administration and with
the house of representatives, which
was elected to aid it in the work
of reform. No leading Republican
who supported the Democratic candi-
dates last year has manifested dissatisfaction,
while some prominent Republicans are glad
that the votes which they cast, as an act OF
party loyalty, did not elect JAMES G..
BLAINE.
In its hilarity at the election of Gen.
LOGAN, the Republican party shows still
that madness which precedes destruction.
1t is not yet forgotten that Gen. LOGAN
aided and abetted the acts of the first GRANT
administration which were so out
rageOus as to cause the Liberal Republican
revolt, when leaders such as GREELEY,
PALMER and TRUMBULL left the party
and did not return. Gen. LOGAN was like
wise deep in the plot with CoNKLING and
CAMERON to call early state conventions,
elect packed delegations and by means of
the unit rule carry the third term iniquity
into effect. He assailed Gen. FITZ JOHN
PORTER with the deepest virulence after
Gen. GRANT himself had indicated that
gallant veteran, and at the last Republican
convention he went over, bag and baggage,
to BLAINE, whom he had formerly so bit
terly opposed. No, the American people are
not yet prepared to make this political aero
bat president to crafty the Union League
club of Chicago. Mr.. MEDILL is a political
clairvoyant who tries to raise great expecta-
lions to cheer his party during its voyage
up Salt river.

OFFENSIVE PARTIsANs.

The Philadelphia Times defines an often
sive partisan to be one who is not fit to
hold Office, whether Republican OF Demo
GRAFT" The Times might as well have elu-
cidated the subject further by telling the
country what kind of man is fit to hold
Office, or what kind of man is unfit.
There is such variety of opinion in re-
spect to this matter it would be well to have
a certain standard fixed in order to main
tain uniform gauge in measuring appli-
cants for Office. The difficulty in establish
ing this uniformity can be seen at glance.
Take, for illustration the state of Vermont,
where nothing short of an iceberg possesses
acceptable qualifications for official work,
and then turn to sunny Texas, where the
warm, romancing nature of an OoHILTREE
is regarded as the proper thing. In Massa-
chusetts the standard is narrowed
to contracted scholastic meas
urement, while in broad-gauged IL
linois they delight in man who can revel
in English ''as she is spoke" in seven different
dialects. Aristocratic little Delaware ruff
fles her gilded feathers in pride over her
blue chickens, while Missouri can present
the most cosmopolitan army of officeholders
the world ever saw. In Kentucky a man
must be thorough in his knowledge of green
cloth mysteries and have his dueling record
perfect before he is thought to be qualified
for Office, while Iowa and Kansas want
nothing but Sunday-school superintendent
of the CoLFAX and PoMEROY type. The
definition given by the Times will not dc
without further elucidation. And while il
is trying to fix up standard of fitness that
will be uniform and will reconcile all the
conflicting notions which prevail in the diff
ferent sections, the administration might as
well accept the definition of offensive parti-
sanship given in last falls election. The
people then and there decided that Repub-
lican partisans only were offensive.

ADARK CLOUD.

Rev. DR.. ALLEN, secretary of the Freed
mans Aid society, in connection with the
Presbyterian church of the United States,
created no little sensation in the general as
sembly Of that church in its session at Gin
cinnati by speech he made when submit
ting his annual report. He predicted that
within an incredibly short time the negro
race would outnumber the whites in this
country. During the course of his remarks
he submitted the following statistics in sup
port of his statement:
Twenty years ago, at the close of the war,
there were in the Southern states 3,947,0O0
colored people, and now there are more than
100000. Then there were in Mississippi
100000 negroes, now 65O,0OO. In Georgia
there were 454,000 negroes, now there are
5000; South Carolina, 100000, now more
than 100000. Five hundred colored babies
are born in the United States every day. The
colored population doubles every twenty
years, the white population only once in
thirty-five years. At the present rate of in
crease in 1885 there will be 100000 white
people in the United States and 1872, 900 600
colored people. When the question of the
selection of a national seal for the Southern
Confederacy was under consideration q
large number of designs were submit
ted. One, which met with much favor
among 1.-THE people Of the South, showed
in the foreground a negro lying asleep
on two or three bales Of cotton, and behind
them some palmetto trees, beneath which lay
the characteristic tools and implements of the
South. sIdon't like it" said JEFFERSON DAVIS.
ssWhen that niger wakes up it will be a bad
day for the Confederacy." These 'sniggers'
are waking up, continued DIR. ALLEN, and the
day is not far distant when it will be phys
ical impossibility to continue the present
practical ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the colored
people in the southern states. The ''nigger''
has walked up. In South Carolina he has
bought and paid for 100000 acres of land,
which he cultivates. In the South he pays
taxes on more than ninety-one million dollars
of property. He is editing, printing and pub
fishing LOG newspapers. And yet of the
100000 colored people in this country, more
than six million cannot read or write.
If DR.. ALLEN was correct in his statis-
ties and his calculation, the outlook for the
But it will be observed that the reverend
gentleman has made two serious mistakes.
In the first place his assumption is founded
on the census figures of 1870, which are
known to have been imperfect. The last
census was the first one which registered
the colored population of the country with
approximate accuracy. Dr. ALIENS
figuring is even more reckless than the as
sumption on which it is based. If there are
now 1000, 900 colored and 80, 900, 900 white
persons, and they double in twenty and
,thirty-five years respectively, old fashioned
garithmetic. would show that the former will
smultiply up to 224, 900 and the latter to
nearly 100000 in hundredsyears. Butno
ssuch difference In the rate of increase exists.

Minnesota Sandstone.

A party of fourteen gentlemen, includ-
ing the building inspector, two members of
the board of works, two of the county
board and number of architects and build
ers made trip over the Duluth railway to
Kittle river on Wednesday to look at a
quarry of building sandstone at that place.
The visit was made on invitation of w. H.
Grant, on whose property the quarry lies.
The stone was found to be pure
sandstone Of a soft reddish tint, in large
quantities. There is vein of about forty
feet in thickness. standing at an angle of
about $50 from perpendicular. 1t is four
and half miles from the Duluth track, but
the intervening distance would be easy of
construction. The gentlemen were highly
pleased with the appearance and quality of
the stone, and il requested will doubtless
make report highly recommending the
superior quality of the stone for building
purposes.

IS He A LAND sTEALs

correspondent of the Rock County Her
aid, who seems to have knowledge of the
inside history of the assumed title to the
indemnity lands held by the St. Paul &
Sioux City Railway Company in Jackson,
MOBILES and Rock counties, has been fur
nishing that paper with some interesting
information concerning the same. From
the statement of the case made by the Her
AIDS correspondent it looks as if Secretary
LANAI and attorney General GARLAND
may find some work to do in giving the
mattera thorough examination, with the
probability of discovering good field for a
genuine reform crop. Land Commissioner
SPARKS has already made reputation for
astuteness in ferreting out unlawful land
grabs which had slipped through the hands
OF the interior department during ex-Secre-
tary TELLER's administration. And for
the purpose-of ascertaining the exact status
of the title claimed by the Sioux City Rail-
way company, as well as to protect both
the federal government and the state
OF Minnesota in the premises, we respect

Washington to the following statement as
presented by the Herald correspondent. "a
resolution introduced by Gen. WAKEFIELD
into the house of representatives on the 18th
day OF February, 1884, may serve to throw

THE old Latin maxim of law that the who
owns the soil owns 1t sky high" does not ap-
ply to New York. By an act of the last
New York legislature, the proprietorship of
the landowner in the superintendent ar
mosphere is limited to eighty feet in height
All above that is public domain, and exactly
what use the state expects to make of it is
not apparent The eighty-feet restriction
was probably necessitated by the numerous
accidents which have recently occurred in
the towering buildings, and because of the
inability of the fire department in New York
city to throw water effectively to greater
height.

quantity for which the breed is famous. The
