John sberman's DUTY.

from the Courier-JOWyndl, (Den,.)
For twenty year. the Republicans could do
ab-olutely nothing yet SIX months after a
Democratic President was lnaugurated a
great change took place, and Mr.. Sherman
recognized in the South feeling that every
legal voter should be allowed to vote and have
ms vote counted. The only thing then for Mr..
sherman TO do, if he hiss not been maliciousy
anu persistently mails ning the South. is to sup
port an administration which, in so short
time, has wrought so vast change.

Winter is approaching, and the Georgia
fox hunter will soon be in his glory.
There is one thing to the credit Of the
Georgia fox hunter: he never makes him
self ridiculous by chasing the anise-seed
bag about over the country. When he
hunts fox, he hunts fox, whether he finds
the game or not.

The announcement that John Kelly does
not intend TO abdicate his Craftsmanship Of
the Tammany braves does not seem 10
have a soothing effect on some members
OF that warlike tribe. IL lie stated that
the opposition 10 the "boss" in the wig
wan rs now greater than ever before, and
that revolt against him may occur At
any time. II seems that the ''late lament
ed" ex-senator Grady has permanently
retired from politics, II, indeed, he has not
crawled into hole and pulled It in after
him. and, strange TO say, Tammsny does
not seem 10 miss him.

The Wyoming Riot.

The outrages committed on Chinese
labOrers in Wyoming last week are being
investigated patiently by the government
directors of the Union Pacific railroad
and by the Chinese COnsuls. Whatever
justification for the murders and acts OF
incendiarism the perpetrators of these
deeds may plead, no unprecedented person
can believe that they had any sufficient
pr0vOcatiOn for assaulting the Cinnamon,
much less for numbering or driving them
away and burning their quarters. 1t is
doubtless true, as charged, that many
mem bers of the mob were unnaturalized
foreigners, who stand right where the
chinese stand In relation to citizenship
II is hardly to be expected that the miners
who participated In the riot will receive
any adequate punishment In the courts OF
Wyoming. II is gratifying, however, to
know that the government, as well as the
railroad authorities, will make it as un-
comfortable for them as possible.
AS long as there is Chinaman in this
country he is entitled to the protection OF
our laws and officials. Whatever may be
conceded to race prejudices and rivalry
between different classes Of laborers, a
ChInaman, or the subject OF citizen Of
any foreign country, cannot be killed
or maltreated in this country lawfully,
any more than an American citizen can
be killed or maltreated in any foreign
country lawfully.
The determination of the directors to
discharge all the miners who were guilty
Of having any hand in the riots is a com
mendable one. Riots are never justifable,
and when rioters cannot be legally pun
ished they should be taught that they will
not be upheld and supported by good citi-
zens, whether representing themselves
or CORPORATIONS.

The charge is oireumstantially made
against Red Cloud, the notorious Sioux
chief, that he is loafer and a dead-beat.
1t is said that he is one OF tho few chiefs
who refuse to let their children 20 to
school, and that he tells his people that as
long as the Great Father knows that they
are unable to support themselves. they
will be provided With rations, but II they
become selt-supporting they will receive
no more help. When it was suggested TO
him that his men should learn TO farm,
he said "Our farmer their instructor
Ia agricultural ia not Of the right kind.
He comes here and wants us warriors TO
work. What we want is for the Great
Father to send US white men to plant our
corn, hoe 1t, reap It and put it in barns,
which they should build US. We are
warriors, and don't work. SQuaws
work." 1t seems that Red Cloud would
make a hrst-class vagrant were he not a
ward OF the nation. II the charges
against him are true, he ought TO be
given a few lessons in stump-digging.

The Motor Question.
237 BROADWAY, New York CITY,
January 70. 1885,

Mr., EdjtOr.-We are in receipt of copy
of your paper and note the advertisement
of the test made between the Backus motor
and our own. The notice that such trial
was to be made only reached us upon the
morning of the day appointed. Upon en-
quiry since, we find that our motor was eX-
hibited to a disadvantage by being misap-
piled to the work it had to do. Now there
is no question in our minds, and il is the
universal testimony of our customers who
have used both motors, that ours is far the
best, and where water is costly, IL would
pay any one better TO give our price than ac-
cept either Backus or a so-called Chicago
motor as a gift. We have no desire TO build
ourselves upon the ruin of others, but we
wish to show our customers that our repre-
sentations are honest, just and true.
We hereby challenge the Backus', or So
called Chicago Company's agents. to place
at the disposal OF your water commissioners
either of their motors 10 be tested against
one of ours for the highest development Of
the dynamic force of water, which test shall
be made by competent experts, So as to
make this competitor interesting and show
our confidence, we propose that the loser in
this contest forfeit to some charitable insti-
tuition, in your town or state, a sum of from
500 to $500.
We shall be glad TO hear from our es-
teemed contemporaries; but perhaps they
would prefer to back-us or back out.
Yours faithfully,
