The universal opinion of the press
is that Secretary Blaine in his mes
sage to Gov. Nichols, of Louisiana,
went off half cooked, or in plain Eng
ish sent hasty message that the
astute Statesman would never have
sent upon mature deliberation. Gov.
Nichols reply shows that he knows
he occupies the vantage ground, and
while courteous, gives Mr.. Blaine to
understand that Louisiana, and not
the Federal government. is the only
power that can deal with and punish
the offenders, unless the request
came from him that the State was
unable to deal with them. The
State Department can possibly in
duce Congress to pay a monied in
demnity to the families of the de-
ceased who were King Humbert's
subjects. but it is powerless as the
Italian government to do more.

The New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat mentions one of the biggest
railroad and land deals that have
ever been consummated in recent
years, involving, as it does. the
probable emigration of the entire
Mormon population to Old Mexico
and the building of railroad 1900
miles in length, has been contracted
for between John W. Young, the
eldest son of the late Mormon elder,
Brigham Young, and B. c. Faurot, a
wealthy banker of Lima, O., and
president of the Mexico Colonial
ton Company. Two and a half
million acres of land are involved.
A railroad will be built from Dem
ing, N. NJ, to Topolobampo on the
coast of the Gulf of California in
Old Mexico. The length of the
road is 1920 miles, with branches to
chihuahua and Guaymas, and from
Guaymas to the Yaqui river and the
coal mines.

THE RACE PROBLEM.

The London Times has sent a
reporter over here to write up the
race question, says an exchange,
which he finds as knotty as the
Irish question on the other side the
pond. The Times man favors emf
grafton as a means of drawing of
the disturbing element, recommend
ing the establishment of line of
steamships from Charleston and
Savannah to Africa. He would put
the fare at $500 per passenger;
would have lands secured IN advance
for the migrants and farming tools
and implements provided for them
on their arrival out. For funds for
the support of the colonlsts until
their crops are available, he relies
upon the contributions of the benev-
client The scheme appears to be
well matured, but it lacks one prime
factor, the willingness of the colored
man to 90. There is no constitu-
tional right to expatriate him, and
while he shows preference for GER
tain localities with the Union, he
has never shown a desire to leave it
for the land of the fathers. Evident
ly he is here to stay, and the way to
avert calamity, real or imaginary,
from his presence, is to foster and
maintain a spirit of fraternity be-
tween the races.
The farmers Alliance are taking
a hand in settling the race question
but are making slow progress.

SHERMAN IS HEARTY.
Ohio's Senior Senator Visiting His
Constituents"


CINCINNATI, July Ex-senator John
Sherman arrived here this evening and
took rooms at the Gibson house. There
were numerous Republicans in the
Office of the Gibson house evidently
awaiting an audience with the dis
tinguished statesman. The senator has
been in Mansfield since last May and
has evidently been benefited by rest and
the pure air of the country. His clear
complexion shows the ruddy glow of
health, and his eye is clearer and
brighter than that of many much
younger man.
To the remark that the papers of Gin
cinnati had been busy in cOnjectureS
that his motives in visiting here were
political, he responded cheerfully, "1t
is the lot of all public men. said he, ito
be talked about in the papers, and some
times their information is not accurate.
In the present case I'm here not by ap-
pointment for any meeting or confer
ence. | have been in the habit of max
ing annual visits TO my constituents

all there is of it. | shall be here GER

clear and unquestioned right to aspire

CLARKSON CONFIRMS
The Report That Chairman
Quay Is Determined to
Resign.
Ill Health and Hard Work
Are Alleged to Be His
Only Reasons.
More Rascality Uncovered in
the Spring Garden Bank
Wreck.
Editor Mcclure and Judge
Finletter Deny BardSley's
Statements.

NEW YORK, July 20.-Mr. Clarkson
was to-day shown tie dispatch in the
morning papers purporting to quote
Senator Quay's words stating that he
had decided to resign the Craftsmanship
of the Republican national committee
Immediately after the election. MIR.
CIarkson said: 81 am able to state that
this is true. Immediately after the
election Senator Quay stated to his col
leagues of the executive committee
that he desired to resign as chairman;
that he did not desire to do the detail
work and have the detail correspond
ence of a political committee, and,
still more, that he felt that a
United States senator ought not
to be the chairman of national
committee or any political committee.
His colleagues on the committee re-
sisted this and persuaded him not to re-
sign. He renewed the wish three or
four months afterwards, and about the
time of the Inauguration insisted upon
it with a great deal of determination.
The judgment of the committee was op-
posed to it and they were unanimous in
the desire that the organization which
had gone through great struggle and
had performed a great work, maintain
ing absolutely harmonious relations
and the members becoming endeared to
each other thereby, shonld remain un-
broken until replaced by the new
national committee created by the next
national convention of the party.
1 can say distinctly that the SEN
ator was very positive in his desire
to retire and was only changed
from his purpose by the advice and ap-
peal of his colleagues. His health was
frail at times, and he desired to be rid
of the burden superimpOSed by the de-
tails of national committee, which are
much larger in the intervals Of a CAM
paign than is generally supposed. In
the dullest time the chairman of the
national committee receives an average
of a hundred letters day which he has
to answer. When his health failed in
senate. and he went TO Florida on his
annual fishing tour, he stated to me
then his unaltered determination to re-
sign" Mr. Clarkson, in the interview.
spoke in the highest terms of praise re-
garding Senator Quay, for whom he has
high regard, affection and respect.

WANT THE LAKE.
Southern California Benefited by
the Desert Overflow.

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Acting Sec
retary Chandler, of the interior depart

Mr.. Wood Mcknight at Riverside, Cal,
calling attention to a report that the

jeopardy, and requesting that the de-
partment intervene in behalf of the in
terests of the people of Southern Cali

ticipated injury from the operations of
the railroad company in protecting its
property lines i'll the courts.
