Matthews and Douglass.

That great professional negro, Fred
Douglass, doesn't seem to appreciate the
friendliness the President has shown to-
wards the colored people. He apparently
can't see that Matthews is Just as much
entitled to fat Office as he is, and that it
was for the good of the country and his
race that he should step down and out
He was long since spoiled by notoriety,
which caused him to be petted and
chaperoned by all the most noted cranks
OF the North, and for years it is believed
ne has not had much genuine sympathy
with his people. Few intelligent negroes
have exhibited any sympathy with him
since he repudiated his race by marrying
white woman. He has been very loud
mouthed in talking about the rights and
destiny of the colored people, and he has
been very fortunate In coming his talk
into cash.
There are very strong indications that
the colored people generally appreciate
the appointment of Matthews, notwith-
standing the Republican opposition to
him. The way they have spoken out in
congratulating the new Register of Deeds
for the District of Columbia shows that
they indorse the appointment, and that
they are not filled with grief on account
of Douglass boing superseded.
Matthews appears to be regarded as
representative rather than a professional
colored man. He has achieved a com.
mendable degree of success in life by his
own neutrality-suspicious., and not by be-
ing the fortuitous hero and beneficiary of
circumstances. 1t cannot, therefore, be
doubted that while he will not be in favor
with the fanatics who think the country
revolves around their limited spheres Of
thought he will exert a great influence in
shaping the future progress and course of
his people.

Gen. Jackson's Rumored Resigna.
ton.

While there is no official information
relative to the report that Gen. jackson
has resigned the Mexican mission, there
does not appear 10 be any doubt about
the truth OF the report at Y" ,shington. 1t
is denied that his resignation has any
connection with the Cutting AFFAIR,
although it is believed by those who pre-
tend to know something about the matter
that he is not pleased with the slow way
the government has acted since the per-
emptory demand for Cuttings release.
The real reason for the resignation is
alleged to be Gen. Jackson's inability to
carry out certain plans which he had
formed for bringing about closer
commercial relations between the two
republics. Neither the State Depart
ment nor Congress, it seems, has
given him any encouragement IN this
matter. On the contrary, they have
rather thrown cold water on all his pro-
!jects in the direction of closer trade rela-
tlOns, and have given him to understand
+ that it would be better not to undertake
anything beyond the official duties mapped
out in his instructions, and the mat
tiers called to his attention from time to
time by the State Department. IL this
statement is true il Is not to be won dered
at that a man like Gen. Jackson should
feel that there was lack of confidence
in his judgment, that his usefulness was
to certain extent impaired, and that,
perhaps, all things considered,i 1T would be
better for him to resign and let the gov
eminent send to Mexico some one who
will be satisfied to simply draw his salary
and let matters which have for their OBJ
iect the promotion OF the interests of this
country and Mexico entirely alone.

The dead and dying pine trees in For

difficult to decide whether the worms are
the cause or the effect OF the trees dying,
but if the infested trees are not removed

little doubt that the healthy trees will be
destroyed sooner or later. The city
fathers would do well to look after this
matter as soon as convenient.

legislators were really acting were
selfshly and Systematically bringing
the pauper labor of Europe to the
very doorway of the American labor
or. What settlements now surrounds
the great iron mills of the country ?
The settlements made ut the instiga-
ton of mill-owners by cheap labor
drawn from the plains Of Poland and
Bohemia. The American laborer
whom the protected industries were
to protect, no longer exist in the fac
tories, FORCES and furnaces of this
country. Furniture manufacturers
of America have maintained in Bo-
hemia shipping agents of human
freight, and have settled the bills, to
be recouped from the earnings OF
mechanics thus brought over. The
mines and the coke fields of Pcnnsyl-
vania swarm now with semi-savage
Hungarians brought thither, the coal
and iron barons declare, in order to
dignity, enoble and enrich American
labor! And all the while American
labor has been driven into other
channels.
These manufacturers, deliberately
false to the specious plea by which
they secure the enactment ofprohibit-
DRY tariffs and selfishly eager to cut
down and cheaper the labor market
which they professed to maintain, are
responsible in large measures for the
destruction of the American workman
as he was known before the days of
tariff and the substitution of the latest
and least desirable immigration from
Europe. They sowed the wind. The
whole country reaps the whirlwind.
We cannot blame Europe for the
alacrity with which it welcomed the
agent of the American manufacturer,
Kidding it of the poorest of its popula-
ton, but the American laborer and
the American citizen, not a beneficiary
of the hypocritical tariff law, have
strong Indictment to present against
the mill men and manufacturers of
America who, in pursuance of a blind
ly selfish policy, have brought the
present tumult upon the land.-Chi-

The crowd at the foot of the stairs i'm.
mediately had business in some other
part of the city. They had fooled
away enough time in looking at a
little black dog. 1t was time to go to
dinner. OF course every one moved
somewhat faster than is usual. There
wasn't any skedaddle, but there was a
general impression to 90 somewhere
and in different direction from what
the dog would naturally take. When
the dog got to the foot of the stairs he
had considerable territory to himself.
There was no one near either to kick
or caress. His momentum carried
him to the center of Water street, and
then he lit out for the Third ward yelp-
ing as if his misfortune was greater
than he could bear. Next morning
the dog turned up at the Golling
House, clothed in his right mind and
not sign of madness. 1t is supposed
that some one put chemicals OH the
dog, and made him temporarily dis
tracted. He certainly was the sensa-
ton of the hour. Mad dogs however,
are not to be lightly dealt with, and it
would be far better to kill any dog
of hydrophobia than that
citizen should be infected with the ter
riblo disease. The general belief
was that the dog was mad, and it is
no easy task for any man to walk up
10 a mad dog.
