DODGING THEIR DUTY.

Whatever may be the merits of the
Blair Educational BILL it is certainly
not fair that 1t should be deliberately
smothered TO death by a committee,
and the friends of the measure are
fully justified in the endeavors they
are making to bring the measure before
the House. If the Committee on Edu-
cation, through hostility, timidity or
any other unworthy motive, is deter
mined upon policy of inaction,
some other committee should be
sought, which, having similar bill
referred to its consideration, will not
be afraid to do its duty in the premises.
1t is suggested as one reason why the
proper committee fails to report, that
although majority of the Members of
the House are individually opposed to
the bill, there are various political rea-
sons, which, If they were compelled
to show their hands, would induce
them to support it. The House
would thus be placed in the some.
what anomalous attitude of favoring
legislation to which IL is really an
tagonistic. The long and short of
this argument is that where dsa-
greeable responsibility is to be as
sumed, the easiest way out of the di-
lemma is to dodge the responsibility
altogether.
1t will strike the country at large
that this is not an honest policy, and
therefore cannot be the best policy.
The Senate has passed the Blair bill by
very decided majority. That alone
should give it reputable standing in
the House and we can see no really
valid, meritorious reason why Repre-.
- septatives as well as Senators should
not have the courage or, If lacking
that, be made to face the question
openly and fairly. 1t is not improb
able that on q test vote the measure
would be defeated and its defea
would place certain Members whC
voted in the negative against tn,
wishes of their constituents in rather
bad hole. We trust, however, tha
Mr.. Willis will succeed in his efforts
to get the bill before the House so tina
the test may be applied. 1t might b.
that in such contingency the courag,
of the timid and hesitating would b.
screwed up to the point of supportin!
a bill, which their constituencies ar
anxious to have passed, and to whicl
we are confident the just public senti
ment Of the country will subscribe.

TO my Representative IN Congress, Hon.

TO my Representative in Congress, Hon. j..
Randolph Tucker Of Virginia:
Referring TO our conversation in the cars
yesterday on the subject of the future of the
colored man in this country, let me say
that, as much us this question disturbs the
white man, 1t does not disturb the black
man at all. He is perfectly satisfied, and is
going to take care Of himself by remaining
where he is, In the finest country on the
globe for him. He has got nothing to do
but to behave himself like q good citizen.
The passage of the Blair bill will help to do
this. The House ought to pass the bill
without moments delay.
The prosperity Of the South will much de-
pend upon her young men who stay at
home, retain their lands aud keep out OF
debt. II you ask me what should the
young ladies Of the South do, would sug-
gest that they come to Norwood Institute.
Respectfully, your constituent,

DORIS SPINNING.

Come hither, happy birds,
With warbling WOO me,
Till songs that have no words
Melt through and through mel
Come bees, that drop and rise
Within the clover.
Where yellow butterflies
Go glancing overt
o roses, red and white,
And lilies shining
Like gilded goblets bright
With silver lining
Each TO my window send
Gifts worth the winning,
To cheer me as bend
Above my spinning.
o ripples on the sand,
That break in beauty,
o pines that stiilly stand
Like guards on duty
Green meadows where, this morn,
The scythes were moving,
Soft slopes, where DER the corn
The wind Is blowing,
With clouds above the hill
That sail together,
Rich summer scents that ill
This summer weather
All bring the sweets you've found
Since morn's beginning,
And come and crowd them round

THE American schooner is q great
institution. 1t is very destructive
against vessels Of war and big ocean
steamers. II was an American schooner
that sent the Tallapoosa to the bottom.
1t was schooner, presumably Of the
American brand, that knocked a hole
in the Cunarder, Oregon, as big as the
side of tobacco warehouse. And
yesterday the American schooner again
showed its prowess. The Canadian
gunboat Lansdowne got up steam in
st. Johns harbor and started out for a
cruise against American fishermen
trespassing in Dominion waters. She
had barely got under way when au
American fishing schooner, Fannie
Flint, which was making port for sup.
plies, ran into her. The gunboats s
sides were stove in, the cabin wrecked
to the port shrouds and boats carried
away. The Lansdowne's hostile cruise
is postponed on account of the Ameri-
can schooner. With plenty of Amerl
can schooner running amuok on the
high seas, there seems to be no very
great necessity for q navy.

'"Ehe White Squaw !"

The public has not lately had its sympathios aroused with anything Rea:ly so pathetic as the story which appeared in the Sunday issue of this paper entitled "The White Squaw." l. is tbe narrative of white wDInan nov in this city, wh9 was held gAp- tive by the Apaches for eight years. Eey husband and two children were murdered before her eyes by these ruthless savageS, who spared her life simply because she was an attractive woman who could be wiyed to some privileged member of the tribe. Her recital is simply an outline of her sufferings, given with womaRly deli cacy, az detailed statement woull be too reyolting for perusal by the general reader.
 Those who are familiar with the history of the Apache tribe will not question the truth of this woman's narrative. Of all the Indians on the American continent, the Apaches are the most cowardly, brutal and tiend- ieh. Years ago, on their muderoas ineureions into Sonora, Mexico, they massacred and depopulated the towns of Fronteras, Bacuachi, Cucurpe, Mebabe, and the inhabitants of the beautiful San Bernardino valley. Their raids extended down to Arispe, the former capital of the State, whose people became so terrorized that they seldom ventured out into the streets at night.
 The places here named, including the Guadalupe Pass and the copper mines of New Mexico, are the grounds over which the Chiricahuas have lately been raiding, Many & poor Mexican girl or woman, captives of these savsges, if they were alive, could relate stories corresponding to that of Mrs. Layton, Few, however, are per miuted to escape their cruel eaptors and make history. The courage and endurance displayed by Mrs. Layton, while fleeing from captivity, are simp.y wonderful.-S. F. Call.

Cheap Dollars.

Silver dollars are only unpopular because dudes have come to regard them as being vulgar, and hope to drive them out of circulation by de- crying their value. They say they are only worth eighty cents each. The Iron Post says: "Let's see. The Chi cago dealer, of whom we buy paper, sent us 8 statement of account at the end of the month-balance due one hundred dollars. One hundred silver dollars pay him. Does any gold bug tell us he would have accepted four double eagles and receipted our bill? Of course not; they kaOw better. But we did not send him the silver; we stepped into the Exchange bank with our silver (which the bank was glad to get-~the lumbermen call for iD, and bought draft oa Chicago, which, when presented foI payment there, was paid, as likely ss not, in gold or national bank notes good for the gold. How, then, is the silver dollar lack ing? Oh, that's it. eh? It will not pay foreign indebtedness. But we don't owe any; and the fact doesn't make any difference to us what i4n- porters and bankers do. Well, what of it? Let them take care of them selves; they are abundantly able. Let those who drink clicquot and wear French or English goods pay for them. American products are good enough, and the biz dollar is good enough for forty-nine and half of the fifty millions of Americans and we'll make Congress understand it, If the Americans will only resolve to use silver for purchasing our manufactur- ed goods, 1t would not only cause greater activity in manufacturing dis tricts, but England, in consequence of large decrease in her trade, would be taught good lesson.

That Steam Laundry.

Since our last issue giving figures as to inc amount of money paid out by our citizens to the Chinese, and the advantage that Tombstone would reap by the establishment of g steam laun- dry, our citizens have manifested 8 great deal of interest in the matter, aud 1,5O0 of the 5000 shares of stock suggdsted have been subscribed for at this office.
 Phenix has taken the initial step ia this territory in establishing steam laundry, and, surely if laundiy 7 will pay in Phenix, it will pay in Tomb stone.
 Ii new mine starts up in this camp and puts 50 men to work our mer- chants a-ld citizens generally all brighten up, and feel that times are going to get better. Now this steam laundry will employ 75 or 100 people on ahe start, whose wages will circu- late among our merchants. Carpen- ters and masons will be employed in building in the building of the works, will be circulated among our mer- chants, and best of all, if the people of this city will abstain from patron izirK the Chinese, the institution will be self supporting from the start.
 Agencies can be established at Bis. bee, Charleston, Fairbank, Contention and Wilcox, and the washing of those cities can be done here, and those towns will be rid of their Chinese population.
 We would suggest to our citizens that public meeting be called next Tuesday of all our citizens, and that the objects of steam laundry be shown and that books be opened for the subscription of stock, in addition to the names of those who subscribed at this office up to day.
