ALEX NDRIA..
MONDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 81.
In HIS speech at Bristol last Saturday

In HIS speech at Bristol last Saturday
evening Gov. Hill of New York, said: 1--WE
believe that you are fully competent to look
out for yourselves and regulate your own
domestic affairs. We think that the people
of the South are not only capable of local
self government but that they are compe.
tent to satisfactorily solve all the vexatious
social problems that constantly arise In
their everyday life aud ordinary vocations."
Gov. Hill only expressed what every other
sensible and unprejudiced northern man
must think on the subject referred to. The
people of the South never dream of inter.
ferinp with those of California in their treat
ment of the Chinese, nor did they with those
of the New England States who until
year ago refused to allow their foreign born
citizens to vote, no matter how otherwise
qualified they were, unless they were land
owners. Tbs people CT the South. like all
the other reasonable people in the country
who have q correct idea of the principles and
institutions of the government under which
they live, believe that the citizens OF the
respective States have the sole right to at
tend to their own State affairs.

CORPORAL TANNFR's reply to Secretary
Mobiles letter proves two things: That the
on)y fault about the removal of the Corpor.
al Is that 1t was not made soon enough, and
that Secretary Noble should be removed as
soon as possible. Both set their own per-
sonal feelings above the law, at the expense
of the public treasury, the only difference
between them in that respect being that the
Corporal had more of such feelings to graft

had made on the stump, and thought he was

BAKED IN A FURNAcE.-A puddler at Longs
rolling mills Pittsburg, Pa, Saturday morning
noticed something in tho draught chamber back
of the furnace, and reaching in his hand to dis
cover the cause of the obstruction, drew out 3
blsckeaed and charred bone which proved TO be
part of human leg. The side of the draught
chamber was at once torn out by big force of
workmen, and crouched in ono corner lay the
body of man. His lover extremities had bccn
burned off, his fingers had been chsrred and had
dropped off. aud the rest of the body had been
baked until it was the color of leather aud re-
sembled mummy. The flesh on the head was
burned away and the skull bones were charred
and bare down to the lips, which were somewhat
burned, but still retained their shape The short
chin whiskers were not burned off. The remains
we're identified az those of Thomas Dougherty,
who had been missing n week. He probably
crawled into the chamber to sleep, and when the
gas YVES turned on he was asphyxia.ed.

The WHITE people of the republican State

democratic States. Those of Murray City
last week burned to the ground the house
of negro man who had settled among
them, aud everything in it, and didn't hesi-
tate to assign as the reason therefor, the
fact that no negroes were wanted In that
place. But no shrieks have, as yet, been

ANOTHER PREDICTION. ia positively
announced beyond the shadow ola doubt by
the Adventists in Pennsylvania that the
world will come 70 en- end within the next
eleven weeks. They are convinced that the
1st of January, 1890, will never dawn, and
the manufacture of calendars and diaries for
next year they regard az groes mprovi.
dence. Some OF the surdier believers scorn
the thought Of laying in winter supply Of
coal, removing their heavy hannels from the
camphor chest. or taking their overcoats
from their uncie's strong boxes. There will
be no occasion for racking their brains about
their wife's Christmas present nor laying by
the shckels for the Thanksgiving turkey.
Some of them have launched into lives Of
open.bandad extravaganza, so fearful are
they that their money will avail not in the

A NEGRO preached q sermon III Washing.

ton yesterday, in which he said:
"The negro cannot be exterminated or in.
undated. He is in the blood and bones OF
the nation, and if left undisturbed will do no
harm, but if stirred may grasp the pillars OF
our civilization, and like Sampson, of old,
in his death, pull down the temple of lib
erty."
Republicans are the only people who are
disturbing the negroes, and if the temple OF
liberty shall be pulled down by the latter,
the former will be the only ones to blame
But there is no danger OF any such contin-
eency. When the temple of liberty in thif
country shall be destroyed, it will be by
white not By black hands.

GEN. CHALMERS SAYS:

"As republicans of Mississippi we are COM
PEELED to Withdraw our State ticket. we

least, the semblance of free speech might re-
main to us, but our candidates are not safe
" allowed to discuss or protest"

doing became SO shameful that the demo.
Gratis in Congress refused any longer to al
low him to hold seat in that body, and
gave the one he occupied to his negro con-
testant, Lynch, he at once turned republic
can, and became go violent that he recently
said he and the few white scalawags in Mis-
sissippi who affiliate with him would resist
the other white people of the State with
arms and yet he now whipes as quoted
above. Gen. Chalmers affords another in.
stance of the truth of Mr.. John Wise's mem.
orable assertion, that southern republicans
are spostates for the price of their apostacy.'
GEN. MALONE and his followers In Vir.
pinia and his aiders and abettors in the
North, attempt to ridlcue the idea of there
being any danger of negro supremacy in the
South, for the reason that of the thirteen
southern States the white people have
majority in ten. There is no doubt that az
long as the white people OF tbs South re.
main as they sre that is, practically solid.
the danger OF negro supremacy need not
be dreaded But the danger results from
the white recruits who may join the negroes
in order to get their support, and thereby
give them the requisite majority in cities,
counties and States to enable them to OBJ
tain supremacy therein. But the negroes
do have majority in two of the congress

TEMPERANCE LAWS.

. Efforts will be made to secure an en-
largement of The scope of our local
option law so as to include counties as
well as towns, cities, villages and
wards. This is legislation of the right
sort we think. It is progressive temper
ance legislation and leads in the direc-
tien of progressive temperance senti-
ment.- Montivideo Leader.
It is possible that the present legisla.
tive offender against society is the indi-
vidual who is SO hoggish as to drink
enough to muddle. He is the one who
does all the harm, who breaks the
laws, who nistreats his family, who an
noys the community; and he is the one
who should be punished. A temperate
use of stimulants never hurt any one;
therefore there canabe no harm done to
society by the manufacture or sale of
an article which, used in moderation,
is harmless It is from the abuse of the
article that trouble results. and thought
to be those who abuse it, and not those
who use it temperately. that should be
held responsible in the eyes of the law.
Such law as that proposed by Sena-
tor Scheffer, which makes drunkenness
q crime and provides penalties, will do
more in the direction of real temper
ance reform than all the high license
and local option laws that could be
crowded intothe statute books GLOBE.
