to become trespassers and criminals on ac- count of taking the timber they needed, be- cause we would not sell it to them. In the years 1881 to 1887 there was reported timber stolen from the public domain to the value of $36, 719, ,852, probably small fraction of the actual depredations there was recovered, mostly by compromise, $475,O73, and ex- pended for protection $455 ,000 To this add an annual loss from fires, valued at So, ,O00,- 900. The charity which we have extended to the pioneer settlers, in allowing free use of our property under certain conditions, has worked mere harm than good; the settled lege for fair bargain in which the consumer pays for what he uses.
 The Msrced canal, in California, is expect ed to work wonders. The territory it will irrigate comprises about 465 square miles or 300, 900 acres, the soil of which is very fertile where watered, and produces immense crops of wheat The canal has been five years in construction, has cost $1 100000 and is the largest irrigation work ever undertaken in this country. The Merced river, which flows toward the Pacific from the Sierra Nevadas, is damned below the Merced Falls so as to raise the level of the river ten feet. From the river the water is turned into the canal, which is 100 feet wide at the top, 70 feet wide at the bottom and 10 feet deep and has fall of one foot to the mile, giving steady but not rapid current In some places rocks and hills had to be tunneled from 5000 to 1, 400 feet. The canal has been finished for 27 miles and reaches to within five miles of the city of Merced, where an immense storage reservoir has been con- structed for the supply of the city. From the main canal smaller canals and ditches will carry the water all over the valley, where it will bring into cultivation thousands of acres now desolate and barren, but capable of being made very productive. The cona- pany proposes eventually to extend the canal 25 miles farther and irrigate another 300,000 acres, 100 900 of which are in Fresno county.

SOME soUTHEEkN SENTIMENT.
The Suppressed Vote.

From the Atlanta (Georgia) Eationall The supposed suppression of Republican votes in the South is one of the questions now agitating the minds of our Republican friends North, and Senator Chandler of New Hampshire-by the way of the best equipped politicians in the country, is pro- posing special legislation as to the control of Congressional elections by Federal authority in certain southern States. By the term 'souths1n States" such of the States as uni ted in secession are referred to.
 We take the liberty of saying to our party leaders North that they will make another lanaentable blunder if they undertake any further interference with elections in south ern States. The unwise and unstatesman- like efferts of Republican majority, which have ignored natural causes and sought to produce unnatural effects, are directly charge able with the so-called s'solidity" Of the South.
 When this want of wisdom is supplement- ed as it has been by the entire absence of po- litical courage on the part of those leaders, their lsmentable failure to establish a Re publican party in the South is not cause for wonder.
 Let it be remembered by those who won OcE WHY LuoEo IS Ao aepuOlIcau party SOuLh that these States were given choice between continued military government and the &C., ceptance of civil government, with negro en- franchisement, and that those of our ''heme folks' who consented to that reconstruction did so a choice between evils. And that the great mass of white people honestly feared that the result of such consent would be negro domination and compulsory social equality with our former slaves. That such belief was not we'll founded we may admit. But any white nan worthy of the name, and reared among us, who did not believe 1t was justified in using harsh measures to resist it. Right here comes in the political cowardice
 The necessity of physical force to main tain the public peace in these States until the mistaken views which engendered resis- tance could be modified by time, and a bet- ter knowledge, was so apparent that Presi- dent Grant brought the case to the attention of Republican Congress. But those who then aspired to leadership were more inter ested to destroy Grants chances for renomi- nation than they were to maintain Republic can governments in the South Either they were ashamed of their work hero and afraid to defend it, or they sacrificed the whole is- sue to their own personal jealousies. It has been truthfully said by high Republican au- thority that the defeat of these measures twas brought about by the trucking cowardice of leading Republicans,'' and that then all "hope of protection to southern voters by the government which had forced suffrage upon them departed"
 In addition to this we have the record of our party as accepting the election of Hayes by the votes of South Carolina and Louisia- na, and the repudiating of the election of Chamberlain and Packard by the same vote which elected Hayes.
 Here we have the evidences of want of

THE MARBLE INDUSTRY.


 One of the most interesting questions that have been brought up by the agitation for 'tfree raw nnaterial"is that concerning marble. The importers of Italian marble want it put on the free list. Two firms control the Italian marble interest in this country, and they employ, it is estimated, about two hum dred men, while the American producers of marble employ fifty times as many. Nine- teen-twentieths of the marble sawed in the United States is quarried in this country; only onetwentieth is imported. Not con- tent with asking for 8 reduction of the duty on marble blocks, these importers petition Congress for an increase in the duty on sawed marble slabs, thus at once opposing protsc- tion to American products and begging for protection to the labor which they expend on 8 foreign product.
 The Rutland (Vermont Herald, which is published in the heart of the New England marble region, thus states the situation: To one who is not familiar with marble working their petition rests upon the plausible ground of obtaining raw material eheaply and pro- tecting American labor in manufacturing it. But this is delusion. The chief cost in the production of marble Is in quarry ing it. Saving is nearly all done by ma chinery with automatic sand feeds Marble in the ledge is worth very little. Fifty-fve years ago the great quarries at West Rutland were sold for one old mare and colt. Mil lions of dollars have since been expended in working them, and the cutting and raising of the blocks involve probably more than three-quarters of the expense of producing marble slabs. In Italy that labor is paid at the rate of about twenty five cents day and the blocks are brought over as ballast, so that the transportation comes next to noth- ing. To osubjectAmerican production and man. ufaoture to such competition as that would be to ruin investments amounting to many millions and to throw out of employment several thousand men.
 The American marble producers are going to make a vigorous fight against the im- porters. They will have the sympathy of all good protectionists
