In an editorial in the Louisville Courier.
Journal Henry Watterson says Ellis
public career is most admirable. man
more conscientious and courageous in the
discharge of his official duty never en-
tered the White House Although he
wasted time. perhaps, on immaterial de.
tails, and laid too much stress upon minor
matters, he has stood like a stone wall
against corrupt legislation and been a
bell-t0wer to general and genuine reform
in the administration. Whatever senti-
ments Of ill-will he has raised up in the
bosons of those he has disappointed and
those he has neglected to follow him
into private life, he will carry with him
into his retirement the respect of ali
far minded Americans. If his experience
had been equal TO his abilities and his
methods and his intentions, his leader
ship would have been unqualified and his
tenure abridged only by the Constitu-
tional limitation. He goes out having
done better part by the country than by
the party, which is saying mush for his
patriotism. 1t is our opinion that he
could have done just as well for the
country, and better for the party, if he
had shown a larger sympathy for the
organization. and the men. to whom
he owed his election. Will he
reappear again on the political
chess boardl Ne should think not. In
this country history is very rapidly made.
Four years is a cycle. Two years before
Mr.. Cleveland was nominated for the
presidency he was not known outside his
own state, The same may be said OF
Pierce, Lincoln and Hayes. Mr.. Cleve-
land deserves well OF the country. But
there must be back OF presidential nomi-
nations either personal following or per
sonal expectancy, and he has destroyed
both. Other men will come to the front.
1t is safe to say that there will be no or
ganized body concerned in bringing Mr.
fore, that his retirement Is final"

He Gained the Audience.

Mrs. Jef7reys-Lewis has probably had a
more varied professional career than any
other actress of her age in this country.
She has played from one end Of the United
States to the other, even penetrating to the
wild regions of Alaska.
Her experiences in consequence have been
sometimes very amusing. In one wild, far
away settlement, where she played for one
night only, the settlers were so wrought up
by the thought of the forthcoming show that
they turned the day into holiday and ceased
all work When the doors Of the hall were
opened the inhabitants marched in hugging
bags of peanuts, candy and other holiday cd
ibles.
Upon Mrs. Jeffreys-Lewis' entrance in the
first scene she was saluted by the rattle and
cracking Of peanuts and vigorous CONVEX
tional buzz.
Mrs. Lewis stopped the scene and walked
TO the row Of candles which formed the foot
lights.
Her speech was brief but vigorous. She
promised the audience that when they had
finished their dessert and told all their stories
the performance would so on. Meanwhile
she was perfectly willing to wait.
Her defiant tone gained her the immediate
respect Of the audience, and there were cries
Of "Bully for you, old gall and Gwen see
you through but profound and lasting
quietus was given the entire house when a
great, rough specimen Of humanity, known
as ''the terror arose, and leaning against
the rude stage, carelessly twirled two big re
volvers in bis fingers while he threatened to
let daylight into the first man who disturbed
the performance.-New York Herald.

JAPAN's NEW CONSTITUTION.
Tho Emperor's Legislative Authority
Limited by the Diet.

The new Constitution of Japan was
promulgated on February II. The EN-
peror. having sworn the solemn oath in
the Imperial sanctuary TO maintain"
and secure from decline the ancient form
Of Cover lment and never, ut this time nor
in the future, TO fail to be an exam
pie to his subjects in observation of laws
hereby established, took his place on the
throne and in the presence of all the
highest functionaries of the Empire, AS
well as of the chosen representatives of
the people, handed to the Minister Presi.
dent Of State the five laws forming the
new system.
These laws are The Constitution OF
the Empire of japan; the Imperial or
dinance concerning the House of Peers /,
the law Of the House; the law of election
of members of the House of Representa-
tives, and the law of finance They com
prise in all 1872 articles. In the first
place the sacred and inviolable nature OF
the Imperial title and perpetuity Of the
throne are associated with the
fullest emphasis. The Emperor
remains, as before, the source
Of all law, bnt his Legislative
function is henceforth to be exercised
with the sanction of the Diet. Only in
the presence of urgent necessity to main
tain the public safety or TO avert a public
calamity can he issue ordinances in lieu
of laws, and it is expressly provided that
such ordinances must be laid before the
Diet at its next session, when, if not
approved by that body, they become
invalid.
The parliamentary system of the new
government is vested in House of Peers
and House Of Representatives, consti
tuting the Imperial Diet. The upper
house is partly elective, partly heredi
tary and partly nominative The heredi
tary portion comprises members of the
Imperial family, princes and
marquises. The election portion com
prises both noblemen and commoners.
The noblemen are counts, viscounts and
barons, elected by members of their re.
spective orders, in numbers not exceed
Ing one fifth of the number of those
orders The commoners are chosen by
cities and perfectures, one by each, from
among the highest tax payers.
The lower house Is the House of Repre-.
sentatives and consists of three hundred
members, elected by ballot in districts
fixed by a supplementary law exclusive
of members of legations Only nine for
eigners obtained permission to be present

GEORGE d. McCREARY, a Philadel-
phia banker, has just returned home from
visit to the mineral regions of the
South In an interview concerning his
observations he said 1.-THE blacks did
their work equally well, and were as
well paid" as the whites. "In many re
spects the blacks are densely ignorant
and imbued with the old, happy -go-lucky
spirit, which prompts them, when they
have made a little money, to rest until it
is all gone and then resume their work
with no ambition beyond soon gaining
another impoverishing holiday. Forum
ately, the excess in numbers of working
men enables the industries to be carried
on without that detriment which would
be felt If the supply of labor were
limited" Mr.. McCreary talks like man
Of sense. The average negro is lazy,
shiftlesss and superstitious. He must be
viewed as he is ratherthan as he might be.
He does not consider that he is deprived
Of any valuable rights or priyi-
leges. He is satisfied with
hog . and hominy as STEADY
diet and picnic with religious revival
as a special feast. He does not under
stand politics. and he would not exert
himself IL he did understand He does
understand that he works very hard for
his bale Of cotton and that leather, iron,
tin, salt and sugar are bartered for it at
ruinous prices II is not difficult for him
TO understand that he sells his crop in
the lowest market, Cat prices governed
by Liverpool) and buys the plainest
utensils and necessities in the highest
market Of the world. He will soon I'M
derstand that sentimental slush about
freedom Of the ballot" for which he
does not care a picayune, counts
nothing against the practical boon
Of buying and selling to the best advan-
tage. The advantage Of more and better
plows, tinware, leather, salt, sugar and
now and then the extraordinary luxury
of a wooden suit at one-half the labor
that it would cost him now, would be a
tangible argument that he could and GER
tainly win comprehend. He is In need
Of material benefits, material aid He
has freedom. he has the ballot he has
the common school, he has more than
English French and German peasantry
have What more comes must come by
his own exertions. But lower tariff
would be great boon to him.

SENATOR STEWART of the Nevada sill
yer mines wishes the government to buy
81, O0O, 600 Of silver instead Of 81, 900, 600
per month. The government has no use
for any silver whatever, but the Senator
does not consider that any argument
against buying silver when the price is
low and the mines are not yielding good
dividends. This is entirely in keeping
with the Republican protective govern
ment support-us theory If business is
losing money then there must be more
tariff. II the dividends are not sufficient
then the government must legislate SO
that the people shall put their hands in
their pockets and add to the dividends.
1t is this vicious conception Of the func.
lions OF the government that ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland strove so hard to correct.
1t crops out in pensions, public lands
