Elections as Educators.

For such a presidential election as that of 1888, with its fair and open struggle between two natural opposed political principles, and it's consequent in huence as polit- ical educator of the American dem ocracy, there need be nothing but congratulations for the country, let it's costs be what it may. There have been elections over which sno such hcongratulationscould be utter ed,-elections in which the cost was as great and the educational results nothing or next to nothing; but no such criticisms can be aimed at the election of this year. There are very few voters in this country who have not in November far larger and more distinct knowledge of the enconomic principles which un- derlie their polical beliefs than they had six months ago; and, whatever may be the party result, is, after all, the fundamental reason for the existence of the presidential cleo ton itself. And as we see this re- suit continually coming into great CT prominence we may congratu- late ourselves more heartily on the wisdom which gave us such an ed ucational force, and ofits new proof that democracy is not the rule of ignorance, but a system of self ed ucation.-Century, Topics of the Times.

An Important Change.

The Optic says it is generally believed that the military changes about to be made at headquarters in Santa Fe may have the effect of removing the post entirely from the ancient city, and the inhabitants are very much troubled thereat, as they may we'll be. The following sum- mary of a military order, just issued, will explain the character of the changes referred to;
 Gen. Nelson A. Miles is transfer red to the command of the military division of the Pacific with head quarters at San Francisco and Gen. B. B. Grierson leaves this district and baeemes QlQlnalElar of thsde paIGnsnt pfs ArizsIna viIh head. quartersI at Los AFlIlAau Gen. C. Howard, whom Gen. Mics suecesas at Frisco, will probably go to the command of the department of the east taking station at Governors Island. The transfers will take place without delay. By this change the 10th cavalry band will likely go with the headquarters of the regi- ment to some station in Arizona and not with Gen. Grierson at Los Angeles.

How to Relieve Thirst.

It is mistake to suppose that cold drinks are necessary to relieve thirst. Very cold drinks, as rule, increase the feverish condition of the mouth and stomach, and so create thirst.

Condition of Southern Negroes.

A good deal of loose talk Is in- dulged during the year about the condition of the negroes in the South. But there is such a thing as honest truth. Here is the latest bunch of statistics on the subject : In the South there are now 16,000 colored teachers, 100000 pupils, 17,O00 in the male and female high schools, und 3,O00,000 wo;shippers in the churches. There are sixty six normal schools, fifty colleges, and universities and twenty-five theological seminaries. They pay taxes on nearly $2,00O,000 worth of property, this in the Southern States, which, if including the Northern States, would double the property valuation. 4 race that las 200 years of slavery and 4000 years of barbarism back of it, needs no silent sympathy or patient waiting when in twenty years it makes such a showing. American generosity has done for the negro in twenty years, what statesmanship has fail ed in over a century; but generosity should not be depended upon, as even that can reach q limit. The negro population of the United States is now 100000 and in if teen years it will be doubled.-New York Telegram.

A Crumb of Comfort.

Democratic office holders, says the Albuquerque Democrat, whose terms of appointment run into the next administration, will find a lit- tie comfort in the following extract from a leading editorial in the h. dianapolis Journal, which gives the first and only indication of the views and purposes of President Harrison on the civil service ques- tion that has been given since the election:
 The tenure of office law and the civil service law must be observed in spirit as we'll as in letter. Off, eials commissioned for four years from the date of their appointment, and who have given no cause for their removal, will probably be per mitted to serve out their terms many of which will not expire till a year or two after the new admins tration goes in, The new President cannot be expected to make sweep ing removals in such cases. At all events those who do expect it will likely be disappointed.

Mrs. NJ. L. Barry, General h. structer of Woman's Work and Wages, in report to the conven- tion of Knights of Labor at Indian apoils, gave frightful account of the condition of workingwomen in the grand old Republican state of Pennslvania. She said:
 "The violation of every law in re- gard to the em ;,loyment of women and children in Pennsylvania is to be met with on every hand. There are many evils attendant on the em- ployment of children, particularly girls, which leads to misery, ignor- ance and despair, A custom is rap idly increasing in the country which means shame, dishonor and humil- iation to manhood, and I here and now appeal to every father within the sound of my voice to be watch ful and wary of his little daughter, if she be employed in any large es- tablishment, or small one either, where she is made to understand that the price of her position is that she must stand in with the boss Many may ask why do not give names and localities.

Terrible Torture of Chinese.

A recent San Francisco dispatch says: Two horrible stories of tor ture come in the China mail, which arrived here to-day. One was the case of coolie at Swatow, who was accused ofkidnapping. He was tor tured in the ordinary Chinese way, for two days, but he either wouldn't admit his guilt or had nothing to confess. He had no money. to pla- Cate his tormentors, so on the third day he was triced up mixed in the broiling sun and surrounded with a layer of quicklime. He was al- lowed no food. but any amount of drink, which he swallowed greedily under the tropical sun and soon began to perspire freely. When the precipitation came in contact with the quicklime, the victim suffered as though suddenly plunged into boiling water, or thrown upon red hot coals. His screams could be heard for long distance, and he expired in as greatagony as do crim- inals when they suffer what is call ed the lingering process, the strip ping'of the flesh with keen knives, until loss of blood brings welcome death.
 The other case is one of self-in- ficted torture by Buddhist monk of Wenchow, who rejoiced in the name of Lofty and Profound. He had taken mendicant orders, allow ed his hair and beard to grow, never washed, and constantly mortified the flesh with lasts and scourglngs. Finally, he resolved to collect funds for a monastery, but after spending year begging on the street he grew discouraged and vowed to seek "sit- ting transformation" that is, to seat himself in a furnace constructed of kindling wood and setting fire to it, enter the enjoyment of nervana. Several cases ofthis self-immolation had recently occurred at Wenchow, and the curiosity to see another brought great crowds to the monas- sterTs where the rife was te hs per, !ogpie9. { n ||s Al llpfeEaratieng wsEs naaaes i.l|' ths funeral q pyIes waY bgilt IEheaI foreigners living near by sent an ap- peal to Chihsien, and the Mandarin interrupted the ceremony. The monk refused food and entered the chest which was to have been his funeral pyre. In the morning he was found dead. Then his body was placed on the pyre and was consumed. The self-immolation of priests occurs in one of the rich est districts of Chinkiang, noted for the scholarship of the literati and their bitter hostilities to foreigners.
