patty and support Of Northern kepub-
icans. But the intimidation Of voters
and fraudulent returns are not the
proper methods. They demoralize and
corrupt the whole body polite. The
men who have learned to cheat the col
ored voters by tissue ballots and fraud
ulent counts will not stop at that point.
They will employ the same methods to
maintain themselves in power against
white voters who are opposed to them,
and complaints of such practices are
already heard in the South, especially
in Louisiana.
If the Southern whites will adopt
some test of intelligence which will ap-
ply equally to white and black, and
then hold honest elections, Senator
Sherman and others like him will cease
to complain Of the management and re-
suits of Southern elections. In the
North we have large numbers of ignor-
ant voters, who are as subject to the lead
of corrupt men as the innocent South
ern negroes, but we do not think it the
proper manner of improving their
political education to teach them that,
although they may vote, their ballots

The canals in America are larger than
those in Europe, but not the largest in
the world. The Imperial Canal of
China is over 1000 mules long. The
Erie Canal is 1904 miles long; the Ohio
Canal, Cleveland to Portsmouth, 1872 (;
the Miami and Erie, Cincinnati to
Toledo, 291; the Wabash and Erie,
Evansville to the Ohio line, 374. The
greatest canal undertaking on the Eu-
ropean continent was completed in
1861. This was the Canal of Langue-
doc, or the Canal du Midi, to connect
the Atlantic with the Mediterranean.
It's length is l48 miles, it has more than
one hundred locks and about fifty aque-
ducts, and its highest part is no less
than 600 feet above the sea; it is navi-
gable for vessels of upward of 600 tons.
The largest ship canal in Europe is the
great North Holland Canal, completed
in 1926, 125 feet wide at the water sur
face, 81 feet wide at the bottom, and
has depth of 20 feet; il extends from
Amsterdam to the Helder, 81 miles.
The Caledonia Canal, in Scotland, has
total length of GO miles. including
three lakes. The Suez Canal is 50
miles long, of which So miles are actual

SPRINGFIELD Republican: The story
of President Cleveland's first oil por-
trait, which he is soon to receive, is a
bit of romance for so predetermined
man. The picture comes from r ome,
and was painted by an italian who
never saw the original. l.. M. Mont
gomery, an American newspaper man
in Rome, wrote q life of President
Cleveland soon after his election, and
to impress upon Italians the rapid rise
of public men in this country, he con-
trasted President Cleveland's career
with that of the Italian Prime Minister,
man already venerable. The story
touched the popular fancy of the Ital-
ians. who compared the President to
their hero Garibaldi. Molinari, Ro-
man artist, applied to Montgomery to
obtain him permission to paint the
Presidents portrait. The request was
forwarded, and in due time a photo
graph and polite note of thanks were
received from Secretary Lamont. Now
Molinari is coming over to present his
picture as the free-will offering of an
italian democrat

indicating the Southern Issue.

The returns of the Ohio election
show the falsehood of the assertions
made by the Democratic and mugwump
journals that Senator Sherman's
speeches condemning the systematic
practice of fraud at the elections in
some of the Southern States as means
of practically DISTINGUISHING the col
ored vote, had produced widespread
disgust among the Ohio Republicans.
Those who have not read Mr.. Sher-
mans speeches, and who have obtained
their impressions OF them from the
Misrepresentation Of the journals re-
ferred to, may suppose that he has
been waving the bloody shirt" and
seeking to revive the animosities of the
war period. But Senator Sherman is
a statesman who deals with living
questions, and the Ohio Republicans
do not understand that he was preach
ing the gospel of hate, as the Demo
cratic papers allege, when he COM
planned of the suppression of the
majority in some of the States by fraud
and force. 1t is q very vital issue, and
the time has not come when the Ameri-
can people will consent to the policy
of silence on fragrant injustice simply
because the means of correcting it are
difficult and cannot be at once applied.

ignorant voters who are easily made the

The Current says: 1t has forever
been the fate of the Turkish States and
Danubian principalities TO be torn be-
tween the greedy powers which fight
for conquest. 1t is averred that Servia,
of late years, has turned to Austria,
and will in due time join the great
Austro-Hungarian union of Govern
ments. This is the trend of King Mi
lan's policy. The opposition, led by
Ristics, is in che Russian interest.
Nothing seems left to poor Servia her
self. 1t is hard to be nation on the
Beautiful Blue Danube. Servia went
to war with and was whipped by Tur-
key, all to oblige the Gear. Then Rus
STA whipped Turkey, yet cut down poor
Servia. Roumania, too, as the reward
of her devotion to the Little Father OF
st. Petersburg in the bloody Plevna
war, lost the upper part of Moldavia
and received in turn the Dobrudscha,
which, if it have not been libeled. offers
advantages only for the contraction OF
European homegrown cholera.

JOHN S. WISE is making the fight
for Governor of Virginia as q straight
out Republican. In this he is taking q
proper course, whatever the result may
be. He believes that he can be elected
as q Republican, and in that event his
will be triumph worth celebrating,
while an election as Readjuster, or
Independent, or any other nondescript
candidate would be of no significance.
There are only two political parties in
this country. Local issues may modify
the relative status of each organization,
but States will be Republican or Demo
cratic according to the preponderance
of popular sentiment. If Virginia is
Republican, as Wise believes il to be
if cheating and bulldozing can be sup
pressed, then let the fact be signalized
by the election of Wise as a Republic
an. Such an event may be broad
opening for q permanent Republican
foothold in the South, which will be
the chief beneficiary of breach in its
Bourbonic solidity.

The result of the election in Cuya
hoga County shows how the Ohio Dem
ocrats love the negro. Tilley, colored
man, was nominated for the Legislat-
ure by the Democrats of that county,
with great flourish of trumpets. to
show how Democratic feeling had
changed toward colored men. After
the election it was found that the white
legislative candidates ran very closely
together, and that the colored man was
numerically cut in every ward in
Cleveland and in every township in the
district. He ran $500 votes behind
his ticket. It is not likely that Tilley
or any other colored man will ever take
his chances again on Democratic tick

of that county claim to have experienced

Senator J. u. George has just finish
ed canvass of the lower tier of coun-
ties in Mississippi in behalf of the
Democratic State ticket. In his speech
at Bay st. Louis last night he uttered
the following remarkable sentiment:
Do you comprehend the issues upon
which the Republicans have made their
fight In Ohio, and have carried that
State? Do you imagine that they have
forgotten the prejudices engendered by
the war, and are willing to recognize us
as brothers and equals? Hso you have
forgotten that their candidate for Gov
ernor and John Sherman, one of their
most eminent statesmen, made the can
vas on an issue which contemplates the
denying to you of your equal rights to
representation in Congress-. My friends,
if any man thinks that we are treated
and considered by the Republican
party of the North as equals in COM
mon Government and Union he is sad
ly mistaken. Now, when these facts
are presented to us, are we to decline
to hold up President Cleveland's hands
or strengthen him in the administra-
ton of the Government on basis of
equal justice and fairness to us as we'll
as to the Northern people? speak to
you plainly. 1 do not appeal to your
passions. This subject is too important
for anything but calm and cool consid-
Grafton. We are in the minority, and
we are likely to find ourselves in a
still greater minority relatively. The
North is being settled up by
immigration from Europe. Few come
to us. Not many years will elapse be-
fore Dakota will be admitted into the
Union. Then Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington, and Wyoming. This will in
crease the preponderance of wealth and
power of the Northern section of the
Union. The South is growing, it is
true, but our growth is slower and
more by natural causes. Under these
circumstances, when there stands moth
ing between us and the strong arm of a
sectional majority but the Democratic
party and the President, will you at
tempt to cripple that President and
party? ask you to think of these
matters. So far as 1 am concerned /
intend to stand by President Cleveland
and the Democratic party-firstly, be-
cause think they are right; secondly,
because 1 know that when 1 stand by
the President stand by you and as
sist in strengthening barrier against
sectional persecution, which will over
run this country unless defeated by the
Democratic party.

THE change in the leading Industries
of California are strikingly illustrated
in the Mechanics Fair at San Francis
co. A few years ago the machinery
hail resounded with the din of quartz
mills and other machinery devoted to
mining purposes. There were amalga-
majors, pumps, and an infinite variety Of
contrivances for the extraction of the
precious metals. Now there is scarcely
anything to remind one that California
is q mining country, except few mod
els of mining machinery and hand
some display of mineral specimens.
There is machinery enough in the

wholly of an agricultural character.
