NO NEED OF ANY HURRY.
Official Mails From Samoa Contain Nothing
Not Already Published.

WASHINGTON, February 25.-The State and
Navy Departments have received the mails
from Samoa brought by the Mariposa, which
arrived at San Francisco about ten days ago.
Assistant Secretary Rives said to-day there was
really nothing in the dispatches received from
the United States Consul at Apia that had not
already appeared in the newspapers. They re-
lated to occurrences which have already been
described by Klein and the other passengers on
the Mariposa, which accounts were telegraphed
all over the country from San Francisco at the
time.
Mr.. Rives said that while the correspondence
would eventually be forwarded to Congress,
there was nothing in it that called for specially
prompt transmission.

THE INAUGURATION FESTIVITIES
Checking the Dealings in Stocks, and No
Advance Expected.

Special Telegram to The Dispatch.
NEW YORK, February 25.-Henry Clews &
Co. say to-day: Dealings in stocks were some
what checked by the Intervention of holiday,
and for the next week or two excitement at
tending the Inauguration ceremonies will tend
to further restrict transactions. We may also
look forward to hardening tendency in rates
for money; and gold threatens to move outward
in the absence of commercial bills.
What the direction of manipulation is likely
to be, it is impossible to forecast, except that
the market is so situated that no important de-
cline is likely to be permitted unless for the
purpose of acquiring stocks. The natural con-
ditions, however, hardly favor an advance at
this time, and purchases on the long side should
be made with greater caution until the general
situation appears more favorable to an upward
movement.

THE fact that the actual receipts of the
City Treasury last year, were S159,oOO be-
low the estimates, does not afford a valid
reason for increasing the appropriations by
$3.50, 600. There seems to be an idea among
the departments that this is the logic of the
showing; but it is decided non seQuitur.
When receipts fall below estimates a very
pertinent remedy is to cut down the appro-
nriations

of her two children was called to-day. The
story is simple one. The woman was left a
widow with three young children. She
couldn't earn enough for their support. She
saw them literally starving before her eyes.
With her last few cents she bought dose Of
poison and poisoned all three. Two died al
most Immediately, but the other fingered. She
sat for two days with the dead bodies, waiting
for the third child to die. Then she notified
the police. The living child was taken to the
hospital, and eventually recovered. The woman
be insane; she says she killed the children be-
cause it was better they should die at once than
slowly starve to death. The trial went over till
so that expert testimony might be
had on the woman's mental condition.

Railroads and slavery in Afriea.

1t is proposed to oivilize Africa by the
introduction of railroads, and it is sug-
gested that if the churches would unite
to build a trunk line they would be help
ing the purpose of the church amazingly.
A letter from Cardinal Lavigerie, an
Austrian prelate, in which upon infor-
nation of valid character he estimates
that the slave trade destroys 2 900, 0G0
annually, puts beyond question the hu-
maLe view of the necessity of opening up
the Dark Continent to the civilization of
the world. The cardinals proofs are
conclusive, evidently, that the traffic in
human beings to-day in Africa exceeds
in proportions the trade that existed
when slavery was praoticed in both North
and South America.
This is remarkable, considering that
slavery is now under the ban of all en-
lightened nations. According to the
venerable prelate the demand for slaves
in Africa and Asiatio countries has kept
up and increased the slave traffic at
time when slavery has been abolished in
Europe and America. The Arabs have
become the sole dealers in human mer-
chandise, and exhibit the cruel and
heartless traits of the Spaniards who I'M
dertoOk the conquest of the Western
continent. So great has been the pillage,
Kidnapping and numbering by the Arabs
that the population in Africa is decreas-
ing, so that, while the number of slaves
sold is not so great as formerly, the ra-
ito is much larger.
Here, it would appear, would be field
for just such sort of civilization as a rail-
road would effect. People in this country
have exact knowledge OF the power of
the railroad as a civiliZer. There is
hardly an hour but that some boor does
not learn an useful lesson on some train,
taught either direct by the trainmen or
by the intolerance of the passengers of
anything uncomfortable. This is the
least of the railway s educational powers.
1t brings people of widely distant COM
munities rapidly and comfortably in per-
sonal contact and communication, and
barbarism must give way, as in the
case of the American Indian and his
traditions. The railway has done fully
as much as any influence now exerted to
break down obstacles to the quickest and
most complete change of the manners
and customs of q people, much to their
improvement in every field of human &C
tivity.
America should be first and forward in
this work OF reclaiming and improving the
Dark Continent for man s proper uses.
Slavery and the Arabs could not exist for
any length of time within the sound of
the rush and roar of u railway train. The
pioneers in this work should be the push
ing American, as in the case of the great
exploring agent, Henry NJ. Stanley -

JUDGE LTTTLE'S LETTER.

Elsewhere in THE GAZETTE this morn
ing will be found letter from Judge
Little of Roberts county that ought to
have some interest for those people in
Texas who honestly prefer the settlement
of the country to She occupation of the
school lands by foreign corporations for
calf raising purposes. Fer his efforts
in behalf of the man with the hoe Judge
Little has been severely criticised by
newspapers and individuals, and much
has been SAID rejecting on his
character as man and his 10y
atty to Texas. Having been made the
vehicle of Judge Little's open letter
to the governor. and having seen that
letter, as well as its writer, most harshIy
criticised, this paper requested of Judge
Little some facts and figures bearing on
the truth of this whole matter.
Judge Little has spent all or nearly all
of his life in Texas, and is not exam
sas razzooper' as charged, his life has
been in Texas and his interests are all in
Texas; and in the possession of this
paper are some very strong testimonials
to his character and reputation that give
the denial to the charges made
against him and compel the con-
viction that these charges were
inspired by Interior designs. No man can
read the testimonials to Judge Little Is
character and place any reliance in the
charges made against him, especially
when the situation in the Panhandle is
taken into consideration, for his record
is clean.
Judge Little letter in THE GAZETTE
to-day makes mighty interesting reading
for those who advocate the lease law as
the best means for bringing the vacant
territory of this state under the domin-
ion of the hoe and the pillow. Wherever
the barbed wire of the lessees of Texas
lands is put up then and there is erected
a barrier TO the settlement of the country
as ex-Land Commissioner Walsh freely
admitted. The lease law was inspired by
those who desired to perpetuate the cat
tie ranch in Texas, and it was made pos
sible by the selfishness of those who

Az OLD. OLD CRY.

The cry of "stop thief is as old as
the ingenuity of thieves. and the shrewd
man uses it on all occasions. The "'raz-
"copper" cry agar men in the Pan
handle who are Ing to settle the
country is a weak device of the enemy
who are content to fatten on the big
pasture interests. Charges were recently
made against certain citizens of Roberts
county that they were Kansas razzoopers
who had invaded Texas to speculate in
county organization and enrich them
selves by issuing bonds for public i'm
provements that were never made. The
facts show that these alleged Kansas
bond jumpers are all old Texans and
were never in Kansas; but the preju-
dices of the people are appealed to in
order to postpone the day when the man
with the hoe will occupy the land now
given over to foreign corporations and
syndicates for purposes of cattle raising
on big scale

WHY SHOULD TANNER GO?

THE GAZETTE S Washington special
contained this interesting piece of infor-
nation:
It is believed that the administration has de-
eided on the dismissal of Corp. Tanner, whose
reckless way of managing the pension depart
ment has scandalized the country. President
Harris on is heartily sick of Tanner and Secre-
tary Noble is even more so. 1t is reliably stated
that Secretary Noble has been for weeks urging
Tanners removal. Those who are acquainted
with the redoubtable corporal say he will not
take hint, however strong, that his resignation
would be acceptable, and that it will be necessa-
~ to issue formal order OF dismissal before he
could be gotten out.
Why should Tanner go? Why should
the corporal be made vicarious sacrifice
for the party of which he is a browning
exemplifcation and emphasis? The De-
and, in behalf of Democracy and good
government under Democracy here
after, THE GAZETTE pleads for Tanner IS
retention. Tanner is the outgrowth of Re-
publicanism, and he should stay that the
country may see what ReDubIicanism is,
unreleved by the cant and hypocrisy of
shrewder and more dishonest men of the
party.
When Grover Cleveland sought to
make the pension list n roll of honor all
the 'trooly Ioil newspapers and orators
howled in concert and fired the Northern
heart with Pronunciation of Democracy's
treatment OF the old soldiers-and the
Tanner idea of pensions prevailed and
Tanner was installed Tanner stands,
pa. excellence, for Republicanism-let
him stand, that the country may see
what Republicanism is in practice. The
Tanner idea is that the masses should pay
taxes to the accumulation of cash sur
plus which should be divided out among
a select few who will restore the money
to circulation and thus make everybody
prosperous, especially the few. This is
the Republican idea; Tanner stands for
Republicanism and Republicanism in
evItably produces Tanuers in Office 1t
was so in the beginning, it IS so now,
aud it will be so unto the end of Re-
publicanism-from Belknap to Tanner,
from the Credit Mobiller and whisky
ring to a dependent pension list, Re-
pub!icanism presents an unb7oken record
as the party of taxation paid by the
many for the benefit of the few.
Why should Tanner go?

Virginia, there would have been no war,
no eman cipation, no Republican party to
fire the Northern heart by outrages and
race troubles resulting from Republican
hypocrisy and cant. This is essentially q
white man $ government, and the white
men of the North are equally interested
with the white men of the South in solv-
ing this negro question on that basis,
as they are equally responsible for the
negro S presence in this country and for
making him q perplexing factor in our civ
ilization. The Connecticut paper knows as
well as Southern papers know that this is
and always viii be white man IS gov
eminent, and one proof of it is that in
no Northern state has a negro ever been
elected to any state or Federal office; in
no Northern state do hotels, restaurants,
sleeping coaches, theaters, watering
places or churches show any more desire
for negro equality than is shown in the
South, and in no Northern state is there
One-tenth the consideration for the negro
as an individual that is daily exhibited
by the white people of the South towards
their black neighbors.
1t would be better for the South, better
for the North and better for the negro if
the black population of the country
could be equally distributed throughout
its borders.
