A BILL HAS BEEN INTRODUCED in the
Senate of Massachusetts for the organ
ization of Department of Justice,
similar to that of the Federal Govern
ment, and to be presided over by the
Solicitor-General of the State. 1t is
believed by many members of the bar
that such Department would greatly
facilitate proceedings in the courts to
which the Commonwealth is a party.
WE SHOULD LIKE TO Know what authority

or Mugwump newspaper has for assuming that
President Cleveland expects 10 be renomi.

he would accept denomination this year un-

sun.
If the editor Of the Sun could only
see the goings ON at the White House
~since the late meeting of the New
York State Committee at Albany he
would awaken to the fact that Grover
q. is candidate for denomination
and is mounted on his political
charger, lance in hand and visor down,
ready for the conflict. Since that tie
vote between the adherents Of Cleye-
land and Hill, Colonel Lamont has
rallied Cleveland's friends from all
parts Of New York, and the daily
and nightly conferences at the White
House in Cleyeland's interest have
been carried on with a zeal that
would paralyze Mugwump and as
tonish the civil service reformers.

is for denomination and will GER

Mr.. DmBLE's PROPOSITION for the
location of the new City Postoilice on
Judiciary Square is in the line of THE
CRlrIc's original proposition, except
ing as to the part Of the square to be
used for this purpose. Our idea has
been to place the Postoflice on the
corner of Louisiana avenue and Fifth
street, fronting on the avenue. The
new City Hall, whenever it is built,
should occupy the centre, and the
new District buildings the southeast
corner-the three structures to be in
dependent Of each other, but archi-
tecturally symmetrical, thus forming
one of the most conspicuous and COM
manding groups in the city, and con-
centrating in one locality the business
of the District, the courts and the
Postoiiice. The bill as introduced
should be amended in accordance
with this suggestion.

by any one, that the western states had
such mills, such manufactures BUTT
will come to this, if the wise and just
influence CT a protective tariff will still
be allowed to foster infant industries,
such as are being erected in the west.
The reason that it has not yet been done
is evident. The homestead laws of the
United States, offering unequaled facili-
ties and advantages to a speedy settle
ment on the vast prairies of the west,
have caused an uncounted number of
foreign immigrants to take possession Of
the virgin fields, and the tide of immi-
grafton could not be kept pace with BY
the few manufactures that were built
in the midst of farming communities.
Not till the necessary number of fac
tories. will consume the now over abund-
ant material of the numb berless farmers,
will the tiller of the soil receive thatre-
muneration for his work, which he now
demands, and he will never experience
the realization of his hopes, if free trade
shall cripple the industries, which now
have given his eastern brother at least
full satisfaction.

The outcome of the Republican
Convention which has been in ses-
sion in this city for some days is a
genuine surprise, so far as pertains
to the head of the ticket, at least.
It was known that ex-Gov. War
moth was taking considerable in
terest in the proceedings of the
convention, but no one seemed to
imagine that he was, or would con-
sent to be, candidate for nomina-
ton as Governor, nor was it thought
that the politicians, who were no.
toriously manipulating the conven-
ton in the interest of the national
Republican party, would foolishly
jeopardise their shadowy chances
of success by nominating the man
of all men who might be counted
upon to solidify the Democratic
ranks, and cause them in the rec
ignition of common danger, to
move forward as one man to con-
front common foe.
tits difficult to believe that the
Republicans were really in earnest
in their action yesterday, but if
they were then it is only verifica-
ton of the truth of the old adage
"Whom the Gods would destroy
they first make mad" 49,;

The Central American Immiera-
ton Association has for its object
the colonization of South Ameri-
ca with negroes from the Southern
States. It is pretty save to predict
that the scheme will result about
the same as did the exodus to Kan
sas in 1879. People Of the South
especially should acquiesce in this
movement and lend It all the en-
couragement in their power, be-
cause this section Of the country
cannot experience greater bles-
sing than to be rid of every rem
nant and vestage of the colored
race.
In the event of an exodus of this
portion of our population, their
place would soon be filed by q
more intelligent, industrious and.
progressive class of people, who
would mako better citizens and
who would assist more effectively
in the development Of the resources
of the South. The negro would
then cease to be q factor in politics,
and the question of race prejudice
which has caused more dissension
and strife than all other issues
combined would be eliminated

degrading influences which are the
outgrowth of the INDECENT, shiftless
and immoral habits Of. q majority
of the colored people would be got

of jails and penitentiaries; and q
