THE NEGRO RACE.

The word negro is devived from the
latin singer" which means black. Its
corruption into "nigger" has caused it
TO be considered rather an epithet OF
opprobrium than proper race term.
Therefore among negroes, especially
at the south, the term is rarely used,
the appellalon "colored" having been
substituted. The prejudice against
the name "negro" is gradually grow-
ing less. Mr.. FREDERICK DOUGLASS,
or Mr.. BRUCE or Mr.. LYNCH would
instantly resent being called "colored"
men. They value the name negro as
highly as the other races do Saxon,
or German or Spaniard. When we
remember the past we are astonished
and gratified at the cordial and peace
full relations existing between the
negroes and the whites in onr coun-
try. The truth is, the negro is assim-
ilaing; he accommodates himself to
his surroundings, 10 the friend of
everybody and fights nobody. The
whole of life may be said to be race
conflict. 1t is essentially so in Europe.
At one time or another all the races of
Europe have had each other by the
throat. The negro is an exception.
He it not only popular at home in the
south, but he is welcome abroad. He
is getting on well, too. Already he 10
a large land owner and occasionally
ne is lawyer, or doctor, or editor, or
merchant. No man can predict with
certainty his future. The race is in
its infancy. All things considered it
has done as we'll, probably better in
this country than any other race
would have done similarly situated.

GRADUALLY, interest in the coming
campaign is manifesting itself in this
section. There was quite little furry
in Spokane the other day, and now the
clans are gathering over in Idaho. w
B. HEYBURN, Of Murray, stopped in
Spokane on hir way to Boise to attend
the territorial convention. He thinks
Sherman is entitled to the presidency,
but is for the man who, in the judg-
ment of q majority of the republicans
assembled at Chicago, can win. If all
republicans were like HEPBURN, the
nominee of the Chicago convention
would be elected. He is loyal to his
party and his friends, and did magnfi-
cent work in the last campaign. 1t is
gratifying to see this class of men
coming TO the front. He is worthy
the confidence and honor of his party.

THE OLDMlSSlON.
FATHER josef AND HIS FORTY YEARS
WORK ON THE BANKS OF THE
cEuR D'ALENE.

CEUR D'ALENE.
Among the unheralded heroes OF the
great northwest, is quaint old Father
Josef. the missionary priest OF the
Cuur d'Alene. For nearly half CEN
tury he has upheld the standard OF the
cross upon the shores of the beautiful
lake, until all the savage land is blessed
and brig hteped with the radiations OF
its peace. And we'll does the brave old
mau deserve the following tribute paid
him by CORRESPONDENT OF
the HelSa Independent, who
says: "For years he has
dwelt by the banks of
the Cnur d'Alene river. From the
days when it flowed through wilder
ness, unknown to any save the Indian,
to the present time when the silence
is broken by the paddle wheel of the
boat and the shrill whistle of the To-
comotive, he has lived in these soli-
trdes. White haired and feeble in
body and oppressed with the intirmi-
ties of eighty years OF life, he is much
changed from the vigorous young
father who forty years ago devoted his
life to the care of the Indians and
renounced all the luxuries and COM
forts of life to cast his lot in the
most remote portion OF the new
country and amongst ignorant bar
barians. But the spirit remains the
same and were the sacrifice OF a life to
be made again glance at that placid
face will show that Father josef would
not hesitate in his choice Of lives. Not
many years has he left of this life.
Death has already set his mark upon
him. The eyes, that have lost their
brightness and that age and toll have
dimmed, gaze TRANQUILITY inco the next
world. The ears, which through age
have been long closed to all earthly
sounds, are open to all heavenly ones,
and before another year has been num-
bered with the eighty already gone
over his head. Father Josef, in
all human probability, will have
gained the crown Of peace which he
has so nobly deserved, The mission
is quaint old log building with
rather an ornate front evidently ad-
ded in recen'. years. 1t was built by
the friendly Indians. No nails were
used in its construction, and it is of
the most primitive build. Wooden
pegs hold the beams together, and
all kinds Of ingenious doyetailings
are made TO take the place of tho an
obtainable nails. do not think that
the mission will ever come into prom
inence as mining camp. Within five
miles of the settlement, one can
hsrdly call it a town, about $60, 900
were spent in vain attempt
to make something out of nothing at
"Camp Hardy" But the owners at
last realized that putting money into
holes in the ground when there is
nothing but the ground in the holes,
is costly and not q paying expert
ment, and gave it up. The same men
are trying it again, however, few
miles away from where they failed,
and this time with better success.
They have the "Biack Bear group
consisting of the "Black Bear" "Gem"
and "Badger," and in each of these
leads they have fine showing of ga
lena ore. There are numerous loca-
tions around the Mission, but they
are still undeveloped and will remain

CeleDTHteu III u oShsuhS
birthday of GENERAL GRANT. Az
Pittsburgh, SENATOR SHERMAN, GEN-
ERAL HARRISON and other prominent
leaders of the Republican party par
,icipated and made speeches. AT
New York, GENERAL SHERMAN pre-
sided. and CHANcEY NJ. DEpEw, the
most brilliant after dinner speaker in
the Union, was the orator. AT Boston
a similar gathering was reported.
1t is q great pleasure TO us to
record this recognition OF DOUG
LASS by the Democrats. They haye
go long been worshipping at the
shrine OF old Tom HENDRICKS DAN
VOORHEES, and other northern dough
faces and copperheads, that it seemed
as if the name OF DOUGLASS had been
forgotten. The truth is that major
ity of the northern democrats followed
DOUGLASS, and when the Union was as.
sailed, they acted npon the advice OF
their great leader and enrolled them
selves in the ranks of the Union ar
mics. No follower Of Tom HENDRICKS
or DAN VOORHEES, ever cheered Tor
ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 1t is natural that
upon its return to power, the southern
democracy should seek to honor those
northern men whu assisted them dur
ing the war. The north thoroughly
despises these men, just as the south
absolutely refuses, even yet, to recog-
nize southern man who openly SYM
pathized with the Union cause during
the war, or since. 1t was for these
reasons that when the south came
into power after the war, the DoUG-
LASS democrats were relega-
ted to the rear, and men
of the HENDRICKS, VOORHEES, class oc-
cupied seats at the first table.
DOUGLASS ought to have a monu-
ment among the Union soldiers.
When he realized that his great am
bition lay dead at his feet; when he
saw his old rival seated in the presi-
Dental chair; when he saw the DEM
ocratic party, which he had so often
led to victory, scattered, routed and
torn to tatters, he realized that his po-
litical ambition was dead. But when
the guns were heard at Sumpter. all
was forgotten. He became one OF the
men to whom his old antagonist came
for help and sympathy, and under an
appointment from ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
dressed himself in the uniform OF a
major-general in the United States
army. 1t is, we repeat, with great
pleasure that we recognize DISPOSE
ton on the part of the Democratic
party to honor, not Cnly the greatest
Democrat OF his day and generation,
but Democrat who favored the
cause of which LINCOLN was the
leader.
All over the north in commemora-
ton OF the birthday OF GRANT, the
lips OF eloquence were opened in
praise of the great commander. FIT
HUGH LEE, of Virginia, sent an ex-
preston of hope that "the era of har-
mony predicted by GRANT, between
federals and confederates, might he
near at hand" Nothing could have
happened to hasten it of greater
moment than for the south to have
participated in local banquet on the
occasion. Let MS trust that next year
that section will not forget the birth
day of the man who fed the starving
prisoners at Appomattox, prevented
the arrest of LEE,and said "let us have
peace" And let some Democratic
club south honor the greatest
of Democratic leaders, DOUGLASS, and
the era OF reconciliation may be
said to be inaugurated
