CHIMES 5enb 10 SoUStanS.
A telegram from Paris says the identity Of
the person or persons who sent the internal
machine received yesterday by Madame oori-
STAINS, wife of the Minister of the Interior
has not yet been discovered
According to the latest particulars, the
book In which the explosive was concealed lie
what appeared to be Catholic prayer book
The book. accompanied by a letter, was
found by Minister Constans on Sunday morn
ing on his desk. The hand writing ON the
envelope was so msch like that Of one of his
nieces that he concluded the letter was in
tended for Madame eonstans, and therefore
he sent both book and letter to his wife.
Madame Constms receiving the book,
found the leaves stuck fast together and
handed it to the butler to open. The butler
was about to use chisel on it when he
noticed fuse affixed to the leaves. The
book was then turned over to the police by
whom it was cautiously opened, when cav
ity was disclosed in which was concealed two
hundred grammes of illuminate. A few
grains of illuminate when tested in labora-
tory exploded with report like that of
cannon.
A book similarly prepared reached M.
Etienne under secretary of the colonial office,
and another was received by M. Treble,
director of the colonial health department.
Treble was put on his guard by few grains
of illuminate dropping out of the book.
There is vague suspicion that the missives
were sent by retired naval surgeon who has
grievance.

R. s. Hunton, one of tho leading mine
owners of Colorado, says that electricity
opens up new era in the production Of
silver. The reason of this statement is
that many of the high mountain mines
have been almost valueless because of the
expense of transporting fuel to them.
Now through the utilization of water
power with the electric motor these
mines can be operated cheaply, and
notable increase of output may be looked
TOR. So evident is this fact that there
has already sprung up demand for
electrical mining machinery in Mexico,
and our American electrical manufactur-
ing companies are now sending large
quantities of apparatus thither.

The following extract is from speech
delivered recently in the hall of tho
house of representatives at Atlanta, Ga,
by Hon. 1hos Watson:
ave want these unjust laws, by which
one set of men get rich at the expense
of another, removed, and we are deter
mined to have them removed. Why we
want them removed is laid down in the
Ocala platform, and then it contains the
principles of the land-loan bill, which is
to loan the money of the government to
the farmer just as it loans to the banker,
giving him an equal chance in the race,
and enrich those who indeed bring pros
perity. They talk to me about overpro-
duction; that the people have too much
land, and all that. Why, fellow citizens,
you cannot open newspaper any day
without your eye falling upon pitiable ac-
counts of houseless poor, and starving
poor, and these rich protected man
ufacturers keeping an armed band
of hired Pinkerton men to
shoot down these poor creatures,
who have very natural resentment
against the foreign scabs who are i'm
ported to take their places. The Scotch
man cannot compete with the protected
manufacturer, the Frenchman cannot
compete with him. Why2 Because they
have put on protective tariff to protect
the American workman(0. How does
the manufacturer do ita BY importing
these miserable wretches from Europe
and consigning them to the most revolt
ing slavery. That is cunning, and you
farmers are told that you must not &c
into politics to right this gigantic evil.
We must demand our rights in
way to let these people know that we
want them, and we want them bad.

FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
How They Observe 1t in Marieopa
 County.

The Phenix Herald says that last Monday evening quorum of the Phe- nix school trustees, consisting Of Messrs. Kelly and Hammsn, met to consider the proposition made some time ago by Indian Commissioner Morgan To king to the introduction of Indian claildren into our public schools.
 Hen. George w Cheyney, Superin, tendent of Public Instruction, has ny circular letter invited an expression oi opinion of the various school trustees throughout the territory upon this subject.
 In his letter suggesting such an smalgstion of white and Indian pu- pils, Commissioner Morgan refers to the aim of this administration to bring Indian schools into relation with pub lie schools of those States and Territo- ries where reservations are maintained. The Commissioner announces that he is modelling his Indian schools after the public schools.
 He thinks his wards will "learn the ways of civilization and acquire the language much more rapidly if associ- ated with white children in the public schools, than in any other way"
 Commissioner Morgan admits the Indians pay no taxes, and are general ly too poor or too indifferent to send their offspring to school.
 As an inducement for the whites to receive Indians into their public schools, a tuition of sl0 per quarter is offered for each red skin pupil, by the Government. Out Of this the school must furnish the necessary text books, guarantee equal advantages with white children, and prevent ridicule or Encouragement being visited by the latter upon the aborigines.
 Alter discussing the matter fully, the trustees concluded that there was no such ardent longing among our cit izens to amalgamate the white and the red as Commisaoner Morgan seemed to imagine. On the contrary the in. difference, referred 10 in another part of bis letter as charac'erizing the In- dian's attitude towards the prnposi- ton, might equally well he alleged of the pale faces
 u'l:;l- -.:~,. --I,Dnl naight narhans elevate the Indian, hnw much might it not wer our children?
