A Child's Fancy.

Each soldier with clover shield,

Boom, rat-tA!-they march and pasa

Saluting with a sword OF grass
And giving the commands.
IT'S only when the breezes blow
Across the woody hills,

March in their full dress drills.
Boom, rat-tal-they wheel In line
And wave their gleaming spears.

And every soldier cheers

Around their freely lamps.

The Chicago News pertinently remarks
that "the only reason that has been given
for the Senate's refusal to confirm the
nomination OF Mr.. Matthews as Recorder
of Deeds for the District of Columbia is
that given by Senator Ingalls,, that it
would be bad politics. to let colored
Democrat have so good an Office. If the
Republican Senators think 1t good politics
to reject a nomination because of the
nominees color-and no other objection
has been made 10 Mr.. Matthews-they
must have given up the old idea OF hold
ing the colored vote" IL seems, though,
that the idea is TO bulldoze the colored
people by Furnishing those who dare to act
as free and intelligent men and vote the
Democratic ticket.

Ittipg a Poor Martyr.

From the BrookLyz, Eagle (Deni.)
A refreshing rebuke Is administered to the
silly billy organs by the Utica Herald anent
the confinement of editor Cutting: she
Is notyet martyr by any manner of means.
Inc language OF his card In the FL Paso
Herald indicates man worthy of horse
whip but not of the clash of nations at battle.
He should have respected the laws of Mexico
while living under them" A fellow who
publishes libel. retracts it and then sneaks
back to repeat the offcase under cover OF his
citizenship is not of the stuff out OF which
martyrs are made,

The colored voters are awakening to the
fact shat the Republican leaders have no
use for them unless they can control them.
They have had an idea for years that
their whole future was dependent upon
the Republican party. They are begin
ming to think that this idea is erroneous.
The rejection of the nomination of the
colored man, Matthews, by the Republi-
can Senate, because he was a colored
Democrat, indicates pretty clearly that
the Republicans have no particular SYM
pathy with colored men. 1t is understood
that one Republican Senator said that the
Republicans couldn't afford to confirm
Matthews, because il coIored man got
so prominent a place as Register of Deeds
OF the District of Columbia from Demo-
cratic administration, it would influence
thousands of colored voters to become
Democrats. The Republican party is a
selfish party, and the colored voters will
not cling to it so closely when they under
stand its character more thoroughly.

The Northern District Judgesht

Inc NOrtncfn DStrlCt Juu%eShiD.
There are now, it is said, twenty-six
applicants for the Judgeship for tue
Northern district OF this State. They rep
resent about every part Of tue State, and,
as far as known, they are all capable
lawyers and qualified for the place.
Atlanta seems TO think, however, that
one OF her bar should have the appoint
ment, and is very certain that the Presi-
dent will not give it to a South Georgia
lawyer. But why shouldn't South
Georgia lawyer be appointed! There is
no law against sucn an
appointment, and when the
legal and other qualifications of South
Georgia lawyers are considered it would
not be at all surprising If one of them
should get the appointment. The tact
should not be overlooked that when va
cancy occurred in the Judgeship of the
South Georgia district a North Georgia
man was appointed to fill it. Is it pro.
posed that the North Georgia lawyers
shall get all the good placesS II Senators
Brown and Colquitt propose anything OF
that kind they Will find a good many
kickers when they again become appli-
cants for favors. Even-handed justice is
all South Georgia wants, and that it in
tends to have if possible.

Our Navy.

The naval construction bill passed by
this Congress appropriates 50, 900, 900 to-
wards the construction and armament of
two seagoing, double bottomed armored
vessels of 5000 tons displacement, which
are to have speed of at least sixteen
miles an hour, and to cost 81, $780, 900 each,
exclusive of armament, one protected
double bottomed cruiser Of not more than
j, 1000 tons displacement, aud to cost, ex-
elusive of armament, not more than
81, $780, 900, and one torpedo boat to cost
not more than 100000.
The last Congress appropriated money
for another Get of vessels, the plans for
which are now completed. The first OF
these is 1900 ton steel cruiser, which
will carry sixteen guns; the second is a
1000 ton steel cruiser, which will carry
twenty-three guns; the third is l, 700 ton
gunboat, with heavy battery, and the
fourth is $40 ton gunboat, and will carry
ten guns.
Besides these, there are the three steel
cruisers, the Atlanta, Chicago and Bos-
ton, all of which are nearly completed.
When the vessels for which provision is
now made are finished we snail have two
5000 ton Ironclads, six cruisers, three
gunboats and dispatch boat. These will
be quite respectable little navy. The
above vessels, however, will not comprise
the entire navy. There are five powerful
monitors which are capable OF doing very
excellent service. 1t is not probable,
however, that the construction of navy
will he stopped when the vessels ordered
are finished. The building of navy will
| then have been only fairly begun.

A rather curious case was tried in the
United States Circuit Court at Philadel-
phia day or two ago. G. l.. Webster
g. Co.. were plaintiffs In a suit against
John Wanamaker to prevent him from
selling copies OF Gen. Grants book for
less than the subscription price. 1t
seems that Wanamaker got hold Of about
BOO copies OF the work In some manner or
Other, and was using them in an adver-
Using way. This, the plaintiffs claimed,
Injured their business. There Is no cues
lion that Wanamaker bought the books
fairly, and It would seem as II he ought
10 be permitted to sell his property at
whatever price he pleases. The decision
has not yet been rendered.

There are quite a number of people in

the prospect had been good for the ratifi-
cation OF the treaty as soon as 1t was ne

Jay Gould's Luck.

Now that 1t appears toIerably clear that the
Knights of Labor In their great Missouri Pa
cifc railroad strike were playing directly
into the hands of Mr.. Jay Gould in more eff
Pacific speculation, his serenity during that
contest Is measurablY accounted for. 1t adds
to the bitterness and misery occasioned by
that untimely undertaking that its projectors
we're cats-paws as we'll as fools. The next
tin Jay Gould wants to wreck railroad
property, however, he will hardly have the
cooperation of workingmen.

MeNicO's Military.

In the event of a war with Mexico there
would doubtless be a call for volunteers
by our government without much delay.
Ii reports from our southern neighoor re-
garding her military strength are true, she
could entertain US very nicely In very
short and sharp, but perhaps not decisive,
campaign. 1t is stated that the regular
Mexican army OF all arms is over 40ooo
strong. or not far short of double the
strength of the army of the United States.
1t is believed that in a short time
that country could enlist and mobilize
an army of $50, 900 men and that for home
defense the fighting strength could be in
creased TO nearly half million, or prac-
ticalIy about as many men as the Conted-
crate States had in the field in the spring
Of 1868. 1t is believed, however, that
Mexico has comparatively small supply
of improved arms and munitions of war.
With our little army of about $4,000
scattered all over our immense territory,
it is not to be wondered at that the bare
possibility OF war with Mexico causes a
good deal OF excitement, if not alarm. In
Texas. and 1t cannot be expected that
our government can proceed much fur
Their than it has in making demands on
the government OF Mexico until 1t is ready
to act with effect. A feeble attempt to
resent Mexican affront to our nation
al dignity would be a blunder.
IL is very certain, however,
that it would not be long after a declara-
ton OF war before the Mexicans would
begin to get very much the worse OF it..
Texas could easily put 100000 volunteers
in the field, who would be as effective as
the regular troops of almost any other
country, and the United States could
muster 500, 900 men within few weeks,
and equip them very well. Besides, Mex
leo is one country that could not hold it's
hand with US on the sea, and its seaports
would soon be at the mercy OF our navy.
Should there be war, Mexico, in about
three months, would be whipped great
deal worse than she was forty years ago.

A Step Towards Tariff Reduction

The effect of the Morrison surplus reso-
luton will be to force a reduction of the
tariff. The amount OF the outstanding
bonds that are subject to call at present,
or which will be subject to call before
1891, is only 1872, 900, 900 Of 8 per cents.
or these $106, 763, 800 is held by the banks
as security for circulation. BY the pro-
visions OF the resolution $10,000,000 of the
bonds must be called each month. In
thirteen months they will all be called,
and the government will not have paid
out $132,000,000 either, because the
banks will simply surrender their circu-
lation, which is 80 per cent. OF the amount
of the bonds, and receive 80 per cent. in
money, and their account will be settled.
The government will redeem the circula-
ton as it is presented for redemption,
which may not be very soon.
1t will be seen, therefore, that money
will soon begin to accumulate rapidly in
the Treasury. There are only three ways
to get rid OF it. One is to go on the mar
ket and purchase bonds at a great pre-
MUM; another is to squander the money
in extravagant and wasteful appropria-
lions, and the third Is to cut down the
revenues.
1t is not difficult to guess the course
that will be pursued. There will be op.
position to taxing the people to pay great
premiums on bonds, and no political
party Will dare to waste the public money
in jobs and useless expenditures. The
demand for a reduction of the revenues
will be general. Doubtless Mr.. Morrison
introduced his surplus resolution for the
purpose OF opening the way for tariff re.
duction.
