The Republicans are actively aiding
their Democratic allies who are trying
to defeat Senator Camden for re election.
The Republicans may well desire the
defeat OF the Senator, for if it had not
been for his effective work in the recent
campaign it is just possible that the
Legislature of this State would have
had Republican majority. They
don't want such a good Democrat in
power.

The Charlestown Democrat raises a
plaintive wall in its last issue over the
fact that almost the entire press of the
State is against it and its methods, and
heartrending groans are heaved from
this and other causes. Our conteppo-

While 1t is true that all the Democratic
papers of the State take pleasure in
showing it up in Its true light, it should
be remem bered that its Republican news
paper allies are almost unanimous in
their praise of it. They quote from it
largely, and pat it on the back, AS it were.

The negro West, chief of division in
the Interior Department at Washington,
who made brutal assault on one OF the
lady clerks in his office, has given him
self up to the police, and seeks TO BE-
excused by saying that he must have had
fit on him at the time. Ten years in
the penitentiary would probably cure
him of the fits. And this Republican
negro was allowed by Democratic
administration to have charge of di-
vision with white ladies as his inferior
clerks.

bids were received by Secretary Whik
ney for the construction of three cruisers
and two gunboats authorized by Con-

four of the vessels will be commenced
at once. One will be built in Baltimore,
one in San Francisco and two in Phila-

character, and the work will have to be
done right. John Roach was conspic-

Confuoius and His Believers.

Confucius lived 500 years before
Christ, and his teachings and precepts
from the Chinese Bible held worldly
advancement of little account and
sought to attain rather the moral than
the material elevation of mankind.
Even now few Chinese will admit that
the European standard of morality is
equal to their own. Christianity they
consider to be good enough religion
in as far as, like Buddhism and other
native cults, it teaches men to do good,
but they cannot see that in practice it
has made much impression upon the
nations of Europe. Their own country
has seldom waged an offensive war,
while all Europe appears to them an
armed encampmert England prides
herself upon her religion and big ships
of war; France sends her missionaries
far into the interior, and her torpedo
boats cruise around the coast and sink
all the unofending junks that come in
their way This is, of course, the un-
favorable side of European character
as it presents itself to the ordinary Chi
naman. He does not, however, fail to
discern our good as well as our bad
points That we are truthful he knows
well by experience, and that no bribe
will ever tempt an Englishman is
thing he often regrets, but never fails to
admire. Though he does not altogether
accept our ideas OF progress, still he is
willing to adopt some of our inventions,
Steamers are rapidly supplanting the

point to be made is that if the Govern

terms of the road tax appropriations, it
would be in a position to call upon its
majority in the house to curtail the spe-

of the district taxes therefor so as to
comprise only expenditures for roads

Until within comparatively shor,

Nations on the reservation in Allegany

the habit has been to sew the body ~ in
a blanket not forgetting to place inside
a generous supply of meat for food,
wampum for ferriage over the Styx, and
a bow and arrow for use in the happy
hunting grounds. Bnt when Billy
McBale. one of the favorite ohefs, died.

inferred the remains in pale-face fash

of d;sposng of the bodies of the dead
has well-nigh become obsolete, and now
the wealthier Indians Euy caskets and
employ undertakers. 1t is q mistaken
notion that the Western New York
Indians have ever placed the bodies of
the dead on elevated platforms, at least
for many years past. The practice
formerly was to scoop out shallow
grave and tumble the remains in, giving
them a scanty covering of earth.-Gt-

Violations OF Business Honor.
GDry Goods Chronicle.1


An old mercantile authority says that
honor is violated when man uses inform
alton conhdentially intrusted to him to
anticipate the informer. A man violates
the laws of honor when he takes advan-
tage Of aaother's unskillfulness or mex
perience, or the technicalities of the law
to impose on him. \ man acts dishonor-
ably when he dose not make sacrifices to
pay his debts promptly; when he attempts
to raise the market price on another buy
er; when he sells below the market price
to get away his neighbor's customers :;
when he is unmindful of fa1ors; when he
does not allow his clerks aM dependents
to share in his prosperity. and in all cases
when he does acts which, if thoroughly
understood, would tend to lower aim in
the estimation of his customers or of any
good man.
