Whatever rampant politicians may
say or do, remarks the Boston Journal,
1.-THE southern people cannot go on In
definitely believing that spirit of ami
mostly toward them is fostered in the
north. They must certainly learn the
truth after a while. Unhappily, there
are men, not few in both sections, who
find it to their interest and. make it their
business to promote distrast, but they
cannot always succeed" The EAGLE
makes the prediction that should the
Democratic party be successful in
November, the south will lose its polite
al solidarity and form new party align
ments that will change the aspect of that
section If it does not affect the entire
section. Remember, we say ''if."
After occupying the position alternate
ly of protectionist and free. trader with
in the past year, Atlanta Constitution
Grady dropped into the free trade groove
several days ago since which time he has
been devoting himself to the task of plac-
ing the mugwump contingent, and con-
cludes the matter after this fashion:
without the mugwump vote Mr..
Cleveland would not now be President,
and as the mugwumps figure more con-
spicuously in the States Of New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, and in that
neighborhood than elsewhere, we are
particularly glad to know at this time,
that we can again connt on them, what
ever their strength may be, for in these
three States are to be fought the decisive
battles of the campaign"

WE suppose no candidate for 90 high an
Office ever penned q more humiliating recan ia
ton than that Mr. Harrison writes in this
letter concerning Chinese immigration. In
his senatorial career he was distinguished for
nothing except his advocacy of Chinese immi-
gration.-Louisville Courier-Journal.
The Courier Journal knows this to be abso-
lutely false. Not a word or vote of Gen.
Harrison's can be quoted in favor of Chinese
immigration. While member Of the Sem
ate, on May 49, 1886, he wrote to Mr.. Martin
Biorn. knight of Labor in Frankfort, this
State. which letter the Journal published
yesterday, in which he said:
II agree with you that they are not class
of immigrants that are desirable.
The present law prohibits the coming in of
any more Chinese, and / have been in hopes
that those who came under the previous
treaty would be returned to their native land
to stay"
And on the Goth Of May he again wrote
Mr.. Biorn, saying:
while am writing we are considering in
the Senate bill to amend and make more
stringent the present law. will send you a
copy Of it. 1t will make the coming in of
Chinese laborers, in violation of law, more
difficult"
This is cumulative and unexpected evil
dence of General Harrison's mind touching
the Chinese; but it is valuable and conclusive.
What the Courier-Journal can expect to ac-
complish by downright Misrepresentation and
lying we cannot conceive. Mr. Wattersen
had better read the fearful Germans remarks
in the Senate few days ago.

Mr.. sTOCKsLAGER's MAHOGANY.

= In order to protect poor settlers in Nevada
and other Western deserts, Senator Stewart
recently proposed an amendment to the bill
for the protection of public lands, which pro-
yided that no part of the appropriation should
be used ir the prosecution of any person in
the mining regions for cutting, for mining or
domestic purposes. dwarfed or scrubby timber
unfit to be sawed or hewed into lumber of
commercial value
This amendment excited the attention Of
Land Commissioner Stockslager, who at once
! wrote letter of protest, asserting that it was
offered in the interest of rich corporations,
which were destroying the valuable timber of
Nevada and other regions. He was particu-
larly indignant over the destruction of ma
hogany trees which he declared were actually
being burned as wood or into charcoal. The
Salt Lake Tribune jeers at Mr.. Stockslager
for his ignorance, and the ease with which he
has been gulled into the belief that the scrub
by mountain mahogany of the far West is the
mahogany of commerce, which grows only in
the tropics The Tribune wants to have q
mountain mahogany tree dug up and sent to
the superservicabls Commissioner as an object
lesson, and says:
HE would see at glance how UNANIMOUSLY
his spies have been imposing upon him and
how utterly contemplate and mean are the
prosecutions which Sparks set on foot, and
which he is continuing It is a mighty pity
that all those sensitive gentleman, whose
fathers cut and burned the beautiful timber
of the East, cannot be forced to camp for a
single month In Nevada, and be compelled to
provide the fuel for their cook from the ma
tive timber of the State. 1t is simply a
shame for those educated ssses-and their
educations are not sufficient to excite any
envy-to cit there in Washington and, with.
out the slightest knowledge of what they are
really doing, set forces in action which can
have but two results. One is TO supply fees

the other is to harass, annoy and put to cruel

GEN. j. Z. CHALMERS, Of Mississippi de-
livered a speech at Little Rock, Ark, a few
days ago, in which he made some strong
points in favor of protection. Referring to
cotton, in which many of his hearers were
personally interested he showed that the cot
ton crop of the country brought an average
of $55, 000, 900 year more for the six years
ending in 1886 than for the six years ending
in 1862 and yet, while the product was stead
lily increasing. the price was not lowered.
This could only come from an increased de-
mand for cotton, aud this, in turn, came from
the growth of home manufactures. Statistics
show that England took less cotton from US
in 1880 than she did in lS6o, and that the

TIE MAINE AVALANCHE.

The assertions of the Democratic press that
their party had made no fight in Maine are
glariug falsehoods. The truth is that the
managers strained every nerve to reduce the
Republican majority. Money was spent
freely. their best speakers were sent there,
and the fight was made on national and not
the federal patronage, which they control for
the first time in many years, and to which
they have heretofore been accustomed to
ascribe the Republican victories. So sure
were the leaders that their tremendous efforts
must show great results that they INDUCED

are still coming in, and making the Repub-

hardly be expected to understand what hurt
them. but after few days they can take time
for calm reflection and cast their eyes upon
the wool growers, the lumbermen. the lime
workers, the potato-raisers, the fishers, and
the thousands of others whose interests were
imperiled by the Democratic free-trade and
English policy. 1t was not personal mag
netism this year. 1t was principles rather
of self-preservation. The same influences

''Now, let us see what kept up the price

THE New York Graphic. the national sub

Maine election
1.-THE Maine Republicans ought to carry
the State to-day by 10000 majority. For six
years past this has been about the average
figure by which they have beaten the Democ-

Republicans carried the gubernatorial cleo

of that year by a majority of over 20, 000."
The Graphic should stop tellinguntruths,
even if Mr.. Brice does pay it for campaign
