WHAT THE EDITORS SAY.

Charleston Gdzette-The appointment
by President Cleveland Of Geo. c. Dill
lard, Of Mississippi, to be Consul Gen
eral at Guyaquil removes from that Of
fee man whose appointment by Presi
dent Harrison Is said to have beer
brought about in peculiar manner, L
say the least. He is the man who, 1t /:
said, robbed the desk of his partner IL
newspaper office and secured political
ietters written by Representative Oates.
These letters he is said to have turned
ovar to the Republican campaign com
mittee In exchange for the promise Of
the appointment which was afterward
given him.
Up in the northern part OF West Vir'
ginia last fall some letters Of a political
nature were procured, and were pub
lished by a Republican newspaper
Wonder If similar promise was exacted
in this case before the procured letter:
were published?

DOES TIE NEGRO WANT TO GO TO
BRAzILg


BRAZILg
A colored dreamer by the name OF
JOHN NJ. BRowN, Of Topeka, Kansas,
has colonization scheme on foot
whereby he intends to improve the con-
dition Of the negro by sending him to
Brazil. These illuslonists come to the
surface periodically, and 1t is better to
let them run their course than to at
tempt TO stop them midway. Once they
are run down they stop for good.
OF all countries that have been sug-
gested for TIE transfer Of the cOlored
people Of the United States for their
amelioration, Brazil, in our Judgment,
is among the worst. The conditions
existing there would help degrade
rather than elevate them, mentally,
morally and physically. To begin with,
the climate Of the country is intensely
hot aud enervating; intelligence and
morality among the lower classes
are at low ebb; the country
is sparsely populated and schools
are few and of the low order; the ma
tives need little to live on, and it is well
for them, for they couldn't get it;
wages are at minimum because there
is no demand for labor outside OF the
plantations. In fact, everything is
Numerically opposite to what the
American negro is accustomed to. To
locate among a strange people, whose
language, customs and climate are
like ones own, is hard enough, but to
take the cOlored people Of the United
States, who are used to fair living and
fair treatment, plenty Of work, a de-
lightful climate, good schools and the
most liberal government on earth and
stick them down IN Brazil, would be
almost as great a mistake and nearly as
incompatible as removing angels from
above and locating them among the imps
Of hades.
The people, white or black, but es-
peclally the black, who 60 In col
onies to Brazil from the United States
to better their condition, make the mis-
take Of their lives. Our advice to our
colored citizens is to stay where you are,
for nowhere can you make greater and
faster progress in self-improvement, and
have an easier time in doing 1t, than in
these United States. If the industrious
and thrifty cannot get along here they
cannot get along anywhere. Even the
idle and worthless manage to live in
this country in way. In Brazil they
would die of so quickly that they
wouldn't know what hurt them.
We HAVE it now direct and officially
from President H1GGNBoTHAAr, of the
Worlds Fair, that there is to be no
charge for drinking water or seats, and
that imposition or extortion Of any de-
scription will not be tolerated. If such
rumors Of extortion had been circulated
about any other city in the country
they would not have been credited for a
moment, but it seems that ChicagO's
reputation is so smirehed that the pub
lie is prepared to believe anything said
Of her. II visitors can be assured that
there will be no imposition or extortion
outside Of the grounds it will be receiv-
ed with hearty thanks.
IT is cited as a sample Of journalistic
"cheek" that One-eighth Of the newspa-
pers Of the country have applied for
free passes to the Worlds Fair and that
to grant them will cost the directory
$500, 500. The cheek" however, is
somewhat eliminated when it is known

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due 60 its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties Of perfect lax
ative; effectnally cleansing the system
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them aud it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all Drug
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

'The Allegheny Valley Railway en-
ployees are to have two weeks excur-
sion to the Worlds Fair, rendered by
the company. The excursionists will
have dining and sleeping cars en- route,
and during their stay, placed at their

know that there are women of most
undesirable nature, who wander up and
down the country-having no homes OF
their own or forsaking their own homes
talking about their rights, and we
know very well that they, themselves,
are neither fit to vote nor keep house,
writes the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage.
Their mission seems to be to humiliate
the two sexes at the thought OF what
any one OF us might become. No one
would want to live under the laws that
such women would enact, nor TO have cast
upon society the children such women
would raise. The best rights that
woman can own she already has in her
possession. Her position in this coun-
try at this time is not one of commiser-
alton, but one Of congratulation. The
grandeur and power of her realm have
never yet been appreciated; she sits to-
day on throne so high that all the
thrones Of earth piled on top Of each
other would not make for her foot
stool. Here is the platform on which
she stands. Away down below it are
the ballOt-box, and the congressional
assemblage, and the legislative hall.

When the paving of the Main street
of Brookville is completed It will be one
WHICH the citizens of that town will
have reasons to be proud Of. The paw
ing will cost something like s20, 900; but
1t will be in good condition for many
years. After the work is finished and
the rubbish cleared away, it will be dis
covered that board sidewalks are un-
slightly beside brick-paved street, and
property holders will have to put down
something little better.

Thinking of pleasant things as much
as possible is great help when matters
seem to be going wrong, and one is
tempted to brood over them and grow
morbid. Saddest life has its real,
precious mercies, and most lives have
far more of peace and gladness, II appre-
ciated Alright, than of distress. We do
great injustice sometimes even to those
who actually have treated us unkindly
by dwelling on our injuries. There is
danger lest we may come to believe
that, instead of their i'll treatment of
us having been exceptional, it expressed
their deliberate and hostile feelings.

Fair Warning.

To the parents Of children pho endonger
their lires on the X. d +. g. R'y:
| once more appeal TO the parents
of the children who so persistently con-
tinue to get on and of the cars on the
II. & F. 9. II. r., and ask them to pre-
vent the practice, II possible. Not a
day goes by but this is indulged in.
We endeavor to prevent this, as much
as possible, and there are parents In
this town who we'll know that | have
gone to them personally, and informed
them Of the conduct OF their little ones
in this regard. 1t is astonishing what
the children will do. Only a few days
ago our Superintendent, Mr.. Mellinger,
discovered several small ones playing
on the track underneath train of cars
that was liable, at any moment, to be
put in motion by locomotive at work
close by. Will you not keep your chill
dren, both large and small, away from
the cars? This is the third time |
have publicly appealed to you to do it.
Nothing now remains but for us to let
them keep on, II you will not stop them,
and suffer the consequences, or have
them arrested, and in either event
those who failed to prevent this danger
Gus practice will no doubt censure us.
1t does seem that we have done all that
should be required Of us.
