Selecting Sites for Cities.

In the conrse of some excavations in
st. Louis few weeks ago, some old
Indian remains, supposed to date from
the time of the mound builders, were
discovered. The progsnitors Of our
indians, whose industry raised so many
hundreds Of mounds oyer vast extent
Of country, were not unskilful in their
selectlon Of sites. as is shown by the
fac. chat Il ,urishing cities like st. i4nu.s,
Cincinnati, Newark, aud Portsmouth.
Ohio, Frankfort, aud many others have
arisen III modern times where they
reared their great mounds.
III the early days of Minnesota a
farmer named Bunker, seeking new
home. CAME to place on the Minnesota
river above which steamers cannot
ascend at the usual stage Of water.
Bunker told his pioneer friends he had
observed that at the head OF NAVIGATION
ON every important river town was
sure to rise. He settled right there,
though his friends chose to seek better
soil. While good farming lands were
still selling at 81 25 an acre. Bunker
disposed of his quarter section for $l5,-
900 cash and his farm is now part Of ttAe
q a,urishing town OF 81 Peter, where the
state has $500, ,0U0 Invested in one Of the
public institutions.
The geographical conditions which
help to 1x the sites where large pOpula-
tlons will centre, are now understood.
The topography Of Southeru England
was laying the foundations OF Lpndon's
greatness before Julius Caesar invaded
Britain. On the one hand the marshes,
on the other the forests, compelled the
lines of communication between the
legions north and south of the Thames
to pass in the general direction of Lon
don. The place where the hills uar-
rowed the Thames marshes most, was
the natural place for crossing, first by
ferry aud later by a bridge. The fact
that this crossing was meeting Of
natural ways by water and land made it
a place of trans-shipment, meeting
place for land and sea traffic. and hence
city was sure to rise there.
Some of the men in that town of
spl ndid future. Fargo, Dakota, built
their cabins on its site twelve years ago,
with little else than squirrels for COM
pany, attracted to the place simply ny
the fact that there the Northern Pacific
road crossed the Red River of the North
at its head Of navigation, a conjunction
Of advantages that with a hne sur
rounding country, was certain to- de-
velop large town. In our still unlnl-
proved rerrit rips there are MANY s,t',.

and no party and no administration could

collected. 1t would produce insurrection.
But tax of $42.4 levied on the products
of labor, and concealed and disguised by
the methods of indirection adopted in its
collection is boldly proclaimed free trade
measure. In majority of the States the
rate of taxation does not reach 81 on the

there are but few cities in the United
States, extravagant as they generally are
in their municipal administrations, that
support taxation of per cent.

HOMICIDE IN NoRFoLK.-About daylight
last Saturday morning in Norfolk John N.
Evans who keeps saloon on the corner OF
Maine and Church streets shot and killed
Peter Mclean, sporting man of that city,
putting four bullets in his body. They
clinched each other, and both drew their
pistols and commenced firing. Mclean
fell in the gutter after the second shot and
while on tho ground received two other
shots. In Mclean IS head there were three
bulet-holes and in the right side there was
one. Officers Snowden and Bamburger ar.
rested Evans ON the spot and found five
chambers of his pistol empty. Evans stated to
the officers that he was obliged to do what
he had done. McLean's pistol was along
side of his body. Corner Newton held an
inquest at 8 O'Clock. Mclean leaves a
wife and one child. He was about forty
years of age. The Justice declined to
grant ball. and Evans was committed to
jail for trial at the September term.

The NEGRO AND THE TARIFF.-The Alex
Gazette says that it sometime ago called at
teution to the fact that no matter what The
tariff may do for other people, it certainly
affords no protection to the negroes of the
South. By resolution adopted at the ne
gro convention at Indianapolis last Thurs
day it appears that the negroes themselves
are aware of this fact, aud also of the Other
one, that the tariff affords no protection to
the negroes of the North, for it is as fol.
lows:
"ResolUed, That we think it the apex OF
political impudence for the republican party
to expect the colored voters in this ooun try
to take kindly to their ironclad protection
declaration, when the colored men and
women in the North as well as in the South
are absolutely barred from the manufacso-
ries which receive the chief benefits from
the protective system"

DEATH OF HON. JAS. N. DUNLoP-Hon.
Jas. N. Dunlap died suddenly at his resi-.
dence in Richmond last Saturday afternoon.
The cause of his death was congestion of
the brain, and he had long suffered with
heart trouble.
He leaves wife and several children.
Jas. N. Dunlop was son of the late Jas.
Dunlop, one of the best of Richmond's old
time citizens. He served two terms in the
House of Delegates, aud at one time was
prominently mentioned as candidate for
Congress.
Mr.. Dunlop was one of the most polished
and eloquent speakers in Virginia. Ono of
his most memorable efforts was that on sec
ending the nomination of Gov. Lee at the
Theatre III the convention of 1885. The de-
ceased vas the soul of courtesy and chival-
ry. Courteous, kind hearted, genial, he
was general favorite with all who knew
him, and his untimely death will be the
subject of the deepest regret to wide cir
Gle of friends. Virginia had few Sous more
brilliant and more loving, and he will bs
sincerely mourned and missed.

Gov. John M. Palmer, the Democratic
nominee for Governor of Illinois, said the
other day: There are peculiar features in
Illinois politics which at this time give the
Democrats fighting chance. The cam
paign will be the most energetic since that
of 1860. 1t is too soon to grow positive in
figures, but the new facts from day to day
encourage the Democrats. There is no
doubt with me OF Cleveland and Thurman's
election. The Republican plank on temper.
ance is regarded by everyone as great big
joke. 1t can't be expected to win back any
Prohibition votes. But it is the tariff plank
that is going to lose them an enormous vote
in the agricultural States of the West. The
farmers are gradually throwing off the yoke.
They refuse to believe high tariff the best
thing for them. The people in the rura
districts are good conservative people. They
do not change rapidly or hastily, but when
they do determine to vote against high
tariff taxation they will surprise the people,
There can be no question of heavy Demo
cratic gains in all the agricultural States .,

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The Hon. s. 8.
Cox has received this letter from Judge
Thurman:
COLUMBUS, O., July 81, 1888.
My Dear Friend: write to you peniten-
TALLY and cry misericordia.
First. Because have not thanked you for
your magnificent speech on the tariff, which
ought to immortalize you, and will do SO if
the American people have as much good
sense as we Democrats are accustomed to
attribute to them.
Second. Because ! have not ans wered
your kind letters, which would have done
if had not been overwhelmed with letters,
most of which might have been postponed,
but which had to be answered because they
were not written by old friends like your
self, who could forgive my apparent neglect,
knowing that would write if 1 could.
Third. But now want your good Offices
in my behalf. I received very kind invita-
tions from Tammany which you enforced
by your letters, and also from the County
Democracy, inviting me 10 attend their rati-
| fication meetings, or, in default of attend
anee, to write them letters. Now l may
have been more sensitive than ought to
have been in this matter of fact and practi.
cal age, but it did seem to an "Old Fogy''
like me that it would not be becoming to at
| tend or even write to meetings held to ratify
my own nomination.
This scruple may seem very absurd, and
very probably is, but could not help It,
| and so neither attend the meetings nor
write. was as grateful as any man could
be for invitations so kind and earnest but l
trusted to my Democratic friends to believe
| that did not fail to appreciate their kind
| ness.
Now, my dear friend, if there are any
Tammany men or County Democracy mon
| who feel hurt by my silence, beg you to
make my peace with them, and to assure
them that they will never find me wanting
in effort when the cause of Democracy is at
stake.
[ hope you will answer this letter, because
| am little uneasy about the subject mat
ter of it. l am under too many obligations
to the Democracy of New York to be guilty
Of sighting their requests, and hope be-
fore the election to say to them in New
York and Brooklyn how grateful I am to
them for their uniform kindness to me, but
more grateful for their support of the grand
old party founded by Jefferson, consolidated
by Jackson, and we'll represented by Grover
Cleveland.
As ever, my dear Cox,
Your friend truly,
A. G.. THURMAN.

"Eyery advance towards a free exchange
of commodities is an advance in civilization:
every obstruction to free exchange Is born
of the same narrow, despotic spirit which
planted castles upon the Rhine to plumber

commerce is tax upon consumption; every
facility to free exchange cheapens COM

The above is not the language of demo-
crat, though it is SO sound as to appear so,
but it that of John Sherman, a prominent
candidate for the Republican nomination
for President, whom Malone and his dele

Why wool Is made free.

From the Report on the Tariff BILL
We say to the manufacturer we have put
wool on the free list to'enable him to obtain
foreign markets and successfully compete
with the foreign manufacturer.
We say to the laborer in the factory we
put wool on the free list SO that it may be
imported and he may be employed to make
the goods that are now made by foreign la
Dor and imported into the United States.
We say to the cusumer, We have put wool
on the free list that he may have wooden
goods cheaper.
We say to the domestic wool grower, we
have put wool on the free list to enable the
manufacturer to import foreign wool to mix
with his own and thus enlarge his market
and qnicken the demand for the consump-
tion of his wool while it lightens the burden
of the tax payer.
The duty on wool now prevents nearly
all the better classes of woods from coming
into the country, when the domestic product
can only supply about one-half of the
amount required for home consumption.
