which, conceding no obligation of graft
tude on the part of the Government to the
railroad builders that may not be dis
charged by the adoption of simple reso-
luton of thanks, still holds that the Gov
eminent can well afford to enter into such
a composition of the obligations upon the
companies as shall provide for steady
and certain payment to the Government
by the roads of every mill that is or may
become due. That journal fully recog-
nizes that
These railroad companies are really the
thousands of men and women scattered all over
the country who have invested their capital in
the bonds and stocks, many of whom. directly
or indirectly, are dependent upon them for
needed incomes, and are by no means the grasp
ing and powerful personages sometimes assumed

VERY BAD,

There has happened what we feared
would happen. The extreme, the radical
and the communistic elements have taken
the Labor Convention captive, and the
callers of the Council, the Knights of La
Dor, have withdrawn from the body and
refuse it countenance any longer All this
is very bad-as i'll as it could be. 1t will
be quoted against us at the East, and I'M
less the socialistic element is at once and
most pronouncedly, repudiated and con-
demned by the public of this State, the
anti Chinese cause will be set back de-
cade. The g divide-every-S Saturday night"
fellows must be put under the ban of pub
lie expression, or ill consequences will fol-
low their heated declarations in the Labor
Convention. The Knights of Labor see
this very clearly, as is evident from their
proclamation withdrawing from the as
semblage. They say: "The committee
recognize the fact that the prosperity of
the State, as well as the nation, depends
upon the perfect security Of person and
property. With this view, we cannot in
dorse anything that tends toward violence,
and therefore withdraw from the Conyen-
ton"
The Bulletin, of San Francisco, referring
to this question evidently, though it does
not mention the Convention in that con-
nection, well and timely says:
Order is the supreme consideration. If it is
| violated in any particular, in large commu-
| nifty like this, nothing is safe The transition
| from violence in any form to general anarchy is
| easy enough. A breach of the law can never
| be confined to single spot. If tolerated, it
| spreads to the whole social structure. The Chi
nese cancer can and will be extirpated, but only
! by lawful proceedings. The Restriction Act
| has not been administered as 1t ought. There is
| hope that 1t will be so amended at the next Con-
gress as to prevent all evasion. There is a ne
| cessity for the exercise of patience. Any one
| who wants to do the Chinese service will coun-
| sci violent measures. Such course can have
| no other effect but to array the whole power OF
| the Government on the other side. In addition
| to this, nothing can come of disorderly proceed
| ings.

battle Of Chattanooga. In paper in the
current number of the North american Re.
rie,c he treats of The Mistakes of Grant"
and spares no language to array the great
chieftain as false, incompetent and preiu-

the key to the whole article, wherein he

Unsuitable and constituencies egotlsm, under
the shadow of great name, to masquerade
as the muse of history" So the assailed
flies against the hand that gave the casti-

out of human recollection if they cannot
survive the bitterness of General Rosecrans.

SPEAKING of the Labor Convention, un-
der the rule of the Socialists, the San
Francisco Alta saws:

Francisco Alta says:
Sixty men propose to move 10000 Chinese out
OF this city in sixty days How are they going
TO do it? It cannot be done by lawful means
No exception is made of the Chinese banker
merchant, insurance man, real estate holder
Within sixty days they must all go. Now, We
arc rather more opposed to the presence OF
these people here than ANYBODY else but we
know that what is not sense must be nonsense
and we know that there is Just one way only to
carry out the edict of the Labor Convention
and that is by the wholesale slaughter of the
Chinese, and the consequent jeopardy of life
and property drought the city. Unless the res
olution is a piece of criminal brag and bun
eombe, of chatter and vaporing, it means the
use of violent measures which will bear heav-
lily upon San Francisco :or years to come.
We are very much inclined to believe
these sixty men represent an element that
is in earnest. Folly is always in earnest
The riotous tendency always is sincere in
spirit, even when moved to action by dem
agogues. Assuming the Convention to
mean, what the Alta concludes they must
mean unless they are fools, it in
tends to inaugurate riot. The
thing to do is to arouse the pub
lie to sense of the danger that broods
over the legitimate efforts to restrict Chi
nese immigration. To be well prepared is
to be well armed. The people of San
Francisco must show that California is
law-abiding, the enemy of socialism, the
foe of disorder, and a champion of law and
Justice that is equal to the task of making
its preaching and its practice conform.

ALL honor to the Knights of Labor,
when they declare, as they do, that order
must be conserved and the law maintained
The declaration has been pronounced one
of statesmanship-and so it is.

tion, but from the center west the land seemed poor and was largely covered with sage brush; now change has come over the home of the jack-rabbit and prairie dog. The farmer has invaded and has come to stay. Irrigation and barbed wire are trans forming barren fields into great treasure gar dens of sorghum and alfalfa, both being used solely for stock. After witnessing such transformation scenes I am satisfied that eastern Colorado will ere long fall into line as great agricultural section.
 Our present halting place is not Q typical western town, as it was formerly a Mexican settlement, and adobe buildings are yet nu- merous, but they and the cheap wood struc- lures that followed American settlement are slowly giving way to brick and stone build ings, some of them quite pretentious.

From Blackwood's Magazine. l


 The walls were lined with people, who, after the fashion of Orientals, welcomed us silently. Astonishment seemed at first their chief feeling on the subject. Guards were posted at close intervals in all open spaces and main streets, and the clash of salutes was incessant. We rode quickly through the quarters assigned to us. These were in 8 large roomy building with a square court yard in front, but with no particular preten- tions, architecturally or otherwise. Three magnificent rooms were painted bright pur- pie, blue, and yellow, respectively, for our occupation, and the gold leaf was laid on the cornices so thickly that it appeared in danger of peeliug off from it's very weight The floors were thickly carpeted, but the furniture was scanty, for the reason that Herat folk never use furniture themselves and are not in the habit of entertaining European visitors. From the roof of the house magnificent view of the city and citadel was to be obtained. We were anx- ious to see all we could, and our time was limited, so, after taking possession we started again for the main bazaar and the Charsoo. The city is very nearly mile square, and the bazaar intersects it from north to south and from east to west. Thus two main thoroughfares cross about the center of the city at the Charsoo-a sort of central domed arcade. The bazaar is roofed in from end to end, consequently it is rather dark. It is also very narrow-only about 12 feet wide, in parts extending from IS to 20 at the ut most. These great covered streets were thronged with people; Heratis, Kabulis, Tur- comans, with men of Scinde and Hindustans were there. At every 100 or 150 yards was the inevitable guard, (always on duty, we were told, and not at all there on our special behoof,) whose attempts to present arms at the various words of command given in English, (among which I distinctly heard ''Stand at ease,'D resulted in flourish of their weapons to the front, which still fur ther narrowed the way. It was difficult to ride along two abreast.

Suggestions Concerning Horse Car
 Lines I'm This City.

Suggestions Concerning Horse Car Lines I'm This City.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Much has been said about the double track ing of the Fair Haven and Westville horse railroad i'll order to meet the increas- ing travel on that road. The merchants on Chapel and State streets object to having a double track pass their places of business for good reasons, and owing to the narrowness of those streets it seems that double track should not be laid. The question would then be asked what can be done? A solu- ton of the difficulty presents itself in the following arrangements of the tracks of the different horse railroads running north of Chapel street. Let the Fair Haven cars in stead of going up State street pass up Elm to Church, up Church to Chapel, down Chapel to State to Grand street to a double track to Fair Haven; the steamboat cars to run back and forth between State street and the steamboat; the Westville cars to pass down Chapel, up State to Elm, up Elm to Broadway to a double track to Westville; the State street cars instead of stopping at the corner of Church and Chapel to continue down Chapel and up State to junction of their own track at Elm and State; the Hamden cars to pass down Chapel the same as the State street line to Elm street and up Elm to Church to their own track; the Church street line to run the same as now. This will give all the different lines running north Of Chapel, except the Church street line, a belt road at the city end of their line This arrangement would cost but little; new track would only be re- quired for a curve at State and Elm and Chapel and Church and short straight track at Elm street for the State street line, the rest of the track being already laid At the corner of Chapel and Church a person could take any car of the different lines, ex- cept the depot car at State street and the steamboat car. It would bring the Fair Ha- ven people nearer the center of the city and accommodate the patrons of the other lines by taking them to the stores on Chapel and State streets. It would also be of benefit to the Fair Haven and Westville horse railroad company, as it would be the means of doing away with the transfer tickets up town from Fair Haven. A CONSTANT TRAVELLER.

WEALTH, WORK AND HEALTH. The influence of wealth and occupation on mortality is discussed in very interesting and instructive way by Herr Sorenson, a Danish social economist. For the purpose population into three groups, the working class, the lower middle class and the higher middle class. The lower middle class includ- ed those who were salesmen, clerks, small shopkeepers and farmers, and the higher middle class included merchants, manufac- turers, government officials filling the more lucrative positions and almost all of those who would come under the term of we11-to- do people
 among men of the working class and the lower middle class is almost precisely the same The conditions of life in these two social classes seem to be alike unfavorable to good old age On the other hand, the death rate in the higher middle class is, in certain periods, very much legs than in the other two classes. Between the ages of 20 and 25 almost twice as many belonging to the working class and the lower middle class u1eu aS aiuouS IHoSe DelouSluS tO CHo ulSueT middle class. Between the ages of 25 and 35 the difference is strongly marked, but is not so decided as in the previous period. Be- tween the ages of 35 and 45 there is still 8 difference in favor of those belonging to the higher middle class, but only comparative ly slight one. But from the age of 45 up ward the chances of existence of those of the well are, by comparison, decidedly to their advantage.
 The mortality among the women of these three classes is curiously different from that among the men. The average of mortality of those belonging to the working class is much the largest and is also considerably in excess of the average of mortality among the men of the same class. The average of nor tality among the women of the lower middle class is larger than that of women of the higher middle class until they arrive at the age of forty-fve. But after that period the average undergoes singular contraction in percentage, so that there are more women in the lower middle class who arrive at the age of seventy-fv in Denmark than any other inhabitants of the kingdom.
 These are very interesting facts. They in dicate that those who have money enough to Give well'' and leisure enough to rest prop er1y are most likely to live long.

The Springs of Dax.

lErOm MaCmlllan MaSaZme.
 The springs to which Dax owes it's corrupt ed Latin name are certainly very curious and remarkable. They rise in the center of the town in large basin inclosed by railings. Over the water is perpetual cloud of steam that completely obscures the view when the weather is cold. At other times one can see the holes in the ground from which hot water and air bubbles are eternally rising So great is the flow of water that the muni- cipality can only employ very small DOT tion of it for bathing and drinking purposes People are allowed to bring pitchers and pails and tap it as they please for household use. It's temperature is 1500 Fahrenheit These thermal springs cause moist heat that makes the climate of Dax very enjoya- ble to mosquitoes. Like all mineral waters put to commercial purposes these are credit ed with marvellous medicinal properties. All the ills to which flesh is heir except death they are supposed to cure. The ancient wall was almost perfect until 1858, when the in- telligent Dacquois, finding it greatly in the way of their desire of expansion, proceeded to pull it down. They would have complet- ed the task they set themselves had not the government interfered in time to save just 'enough of the past for the future to grieve." To these people, in whom the blood of their temporary rulers-the Vandals-stiu courses gaily, belongs the honor of nearly destroy ing a work of unique interest. What re- mains of the wall is marvellous piece Of solid masonry. Although post-Roman, the construction is on the Roman model-a sim pie parapet strengthened with round towers. Planted with trees in boulevard fashion, thls fragment of the ancient rampafts mas oe come the fayorite promenade of the people of Dax. The fourteenth century castle on the left bank of the Adour is noticeable object, but it is not an imposing specimen of me- digyal stronghold. From its position it could never have been worth much as g fortress.
