The 81. Paul Convention discussed at
length various projects for opening artificial
waterways as means Of lowering freight
charges. Now, the connection Of the Potomac
and the Ohio by waterway was one Of the
pet projects Of Washington, himself no mean
engineer, and possessing at that time bet.
ter knowledge of the topography of the in
tervening country than any other person.
Modern science has made such project pos
sible by reducing the cost of excavation and
tunneling, 30 that the extension of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal to the Ohio
River Is feasible undertaking. If Congress
Ia going to dabbls in the question of artiG-
ciai waterways, here is one that ia entirely
national In its objects, and We modestly ask
for it the consideration II deserves.

In the kindest feeling toward our colored
citizens, we advise them to use their infu-
ence to arrest the desperadoes of their race
in their wanton assaults npon the police
There is no community where the colored
people are better taught or better provided
for than this, aud none where there are more
conspicuous examples Of their thrift, intslli-
gence, and worth. But we are sorry to say,
also, that the city is cursed with conspicu-
ously large number Of negro roughs and des.
peradoes. OF late they have become vindic.
tive and defiant. They seem to have banded
together with the purpose Of intimidating
the police, and it is rumored that reputable
colored men, having no sympathy with this
lawless class except that of race, have given
them aid and encouragement, carried away
by the belief that the police were treating
them with unnecessary severity because of
race pref udice. To such We say, beware.
Do not make the cause of such miscreants
your cause. Justice they shall have; no
more, no less. The police are the guardians
of your lives and property as they are Of the
lives and property Of the white race. The
police will be sustained in their efforts to
put down these desperate roughs, and yen
had best leave them to the punishment they
deserve.

The Rev. A. d. Mayo, who has given years
of careful study TO the educational statistics
OF the South, has made an interesting report,
which will do much to set the truth before
the people, and help to allay the prejudices
that politicians are sel6shly endeavoring to
arouse. Mr.. Charles Dudley Warner, in his
"Impressions of the South" published in
the September Harper, had dared to assert
that the South accepted the situation. Re.
publican papers attacked hi, facts. Mr..
Mayo, however, cannot be disposed of so
cavalierly, for he cites facts and figures
which cannot be denied. They must listen
TO him, although II is not pleasant for the
politician to hear from such source that
"no other people In human history has
"made so remarkable an effort as the people
" of the South " during the last fifteen years
in the direction of education. We all know
and feel how the material interests of the
South are being develored in every branch
of industry, ard II is a pleasure to record
that her people are doing all that their re.
sources will permit to advance the cause of
education. In the face of facts like these
the intelligent voters Of the North can no
longer be misled by empty aeclamations
against the "rebel brigsdiers."

The U. S. Consul at Marseillesreports
to the State Department that while
the number of deaths from cholera has
steadily decreased at Marseilles and
Toulon since August Goth last, it has
been increasing in the district around
those cities. ''In almost every case
the first outbreak of cholera in these
smaller cities can be traced to some
act of imprudence on the part of those
attacked. Most often the infection
has been conveyed in clothing or some
textile material Their cupidity leads
persons to wear or sell the garments
of those who have died from cholera
and they, or those who buy them, suf-
fer in consequence.

The Millville Balletin, of Monday,
contains the following:
THE candidacy of Mr.. Hawkins, of
Landis Township, for the Assembly
this Fall, has been thought strange in
view of the supposed fact that Mr.. NJ.
j. kimball would be presented by the
Republicans of Vineland for Senator
next year. There has, we understand,
been a change in the programme. and
Mr.. Hawkins and not Mr. Kimball will
be the Senatorial candidate next year.
This, it is believed, will make it per-
fectly consistent for Vineland to have
a candidate for the Assembly one year,
and one for Senator the next. OF
course, in such event the Assembly
nomination next year would not be ex-
pected by the Vinelanders.
This is richness; it savors also of
freshness. The Republicans of Cum
berland county are not making Sena-
tors this year. They will attend to
that matter in the Fall of 1886. And,
the man they select will not be the
man who enters into any such arrange
ment as is above suggested.

The New Star.

The Importance of the latest news
gathered from the starry heavens has,
apparently, been hardly compre-
hended, even by many of the astrono-
mers themselves. To say that a new
star has appeared among the countless
brilliant specks of light that enliven
the sky at night does not seem very
startling, especially when the new star
is so faint as to escape all eyes except
those that are aided by the telescope.
The news assumes greater interest,
however, when it is considered that
this new star is sun, as large, proba-
bly,, as our own sun, which has sud
denly sprung into being in the depths
of space, lighting up with its radiance
a corner of the universe hitherto bur-
led in the gloom of perpetual night.

The Second District Nomination.

\ few malcontents in the Second AS
sembly District, this county, are en-
deavoring to stir up contention in the
Republican party by opposing the re-
nomination of Assemblyman Wilson
Banks. This is a bad spirit to mani
fest, and it is likely to make trouble
Mr.. Banks has served but one wear.
He is entitled to e-nomination bv
party usage, and should be accorded
that courtesy by unanimous consent
His record at Trenton is good, ;and the
Second Assembly District has rarely
had a more intelligent, faithful repre-
sentative. Neither Mr.. Hawkins. of
Nineland, or any other gentleman can
affort to refuse Mr.. Banks a second
nomination. Such course will iniure
the party not only this year but in the
future. If Assemblyman Banks is ac-
corded second term as he should be.
he will not be candidate again. The
gentlemen who are so anxious to sue
ceed him had better wait till next year
when there will be a free field, other
wise the ticket may suffer defeat.

Vineland's Big Grape Crop.

1t estimated that the shipment of
grapes from Vineland during the sea-
son up to date, aggregates in the neigh
borhood of 700 tons or 1,400,O pounds.
The crop is not yet all marketed, and
this amount does not include the grapes
which have been made into wine,
either fermented or unfermented. The
price has averaged three cents per
pound, gross, out of which sum has to
be taken the price of marketing, such
as freight commission, expense of pack
ing, etc, so that the price 'netted to the
grower will not be far from two cents
per pound, or say 100000 for the ,40O,-
900 pounds so far marketed.

The mass meeting of the National
Prohibition party came off in Cosmo-
politan Hall, Vineland, on Friday last.
There was large attendance of peo-
pie, most of them being present out of
desire to see the great st. John.n
He appeared and went through the
programme laid out for him, telling
them among other things that ''he left
the Republican party at 4o'clock. June
4th, 1884, and that he left because that
party no longer had a principle that
appealed to or reached the hearts of
the people," He failed to tell his au
dience, however, the real reason why
he left the Republican party. 1t was
this:-John p. st. John was twice
chosen Governor of the State of Kan
sas on the Republican ticket. Con-
trary to the rules and customs of the
party in Kansas he forced himself on
the ticket for a third term. The re-
suit was that he was overwhelmingly
defeated for the Governorship, while a
colored man who was running with
him for Lieutenant Governor was
chosen by large majority, as was also
the balance of the Republican ticket.
This was pretty good evidence that
Mr.. st. John was not appreciated by
the honest voters of Kansas and that
the Republican party had resolved
that he should no longer misrepresent
them in official position. His defeat
was the real cause of his leaving the
Republican party, and not because of
any lack of principle in the organiza-
ton. Lack of principle on his partn
was what it might be more properly
termed. He also told a good MANY
other things that were entirely un-
true. The statement concerning the
suppression of the colored vote in the
South was deliberate falsehood. and

At Work Again.

1t was a pleasant sight Monday
morning, to see the smoke once more
issuing from the chimneys of the Cum
berland Nail and Iron Works. The
strike which has just ended, had lasted
over five months, the longest ever
known in this section of the State. In
fact there never were many labor
strikes at the Cumberland Works.
Old workmen say that it has been fifty
years since the first one took place,
and that it was of short duration. Now
that the difficulties between employer
and workmen have been settled it is
hoped that strikes will hereafter be
avoided. The Cumberland Works are
great aid to Bridgeton's business
prosperity. When the mills are idle
the town suffers when they are active.
business booms. Long may they con-
tinue in full operation to the great
benefit of the people.

Will Not Amount to Much.

The special ten cent stamp delivery
system which goes into effect at our
Post Office October 1st, will not prove
a very important matter TO the general
public. In cities of the size of Bridge
ton very few ten cent letters reach US,
and the probabilities are that the car
rier boys will wear the seat of their
pants out waiting for the business
that will not come. The Congressman
who originated the idea of the ten
cent delivery ought to have leather
medal for this great stroke of genius.
