SENATOR Eyre points out that the
opening of the Nicaragua Canal
would place US as near Hong Kong
as England, 1900 miles nearer all the
northern ports of China than she,
1900 miles nearer Japan, aud 1000
nearer Australia. Furthermore, the
time between New York and San
Francisco by steamer would be re.
duced about one half, with a large
reduction in freight charges These
considerations seem to him sufficient
to justify our Government in giving
all possible encouragement to the en-.

TALKING of Republican victories
the result in old Virginia ought not
to be overlooked 1t was not a sweep
like Maryland and Kentucky but the
Republicans made great gains. Not.
withstanding the rotten and wicked
system of registration to make fraud
easy, the Republicans won this fall
in many legislative districts A year
ago, there wasn't Republican in the
legislature, now thirty members of
the House and six Senators are Re.
publicans. This is a big victory and
ought not to be overlooked.

A BURIED ClTY.-The Russians have
made singular discovery in central
Asia. In Turkestan, on the right bank
of the Amou Daria, is a chain of rocky
hills near the Bokharau town of Kar-
XII. and a number of large caves.
which, upon examination, were found
to lead to an underground city, built
apparently long before the Christian
era. According to the efflgies, inscrip-
lions and designs upon the gold and
silver money unearthed from among
the ruins, the town dates back to some
two centuries before the birth of
Christ. The underground Bokharan
city is about two versts long, and is
composed of an enormous labyrinth of
corridors, streets and squares, sur
rounded by houses and other build
ings two or three stories high. The
edifices contain all kinds of utensils,
pots, urns, vases, etc. The high de-
gree of civilization attained by the in
habitants of the city is shown by the
fact that they built of several stories.
by the symmetry of the streets and by
the beauty of the baked clay and
metal utensils, and of the ornaments
and coins which have been found. 1t
is supposed that long centuries ago
this city, so carefully concealed in the
bowels OF the earth, provided an en-
tire population with a refuge from the
incursions of nomadic savages and
robbers.-Lo7ld07l Public OD5nion

MONUMENT TO THE "WAR-TIME''
NEGRo.-The Chicago Times erald
says: 1.-THE movement started in the
South to erect a monument to com
memorate the unique fidelity of the
negroes during the war in caring for
the homes and property of their mas
tiers, and in recognition of the fact that
not one instance is known of any acts
of violence and scarcely one of a be-
trayal of the sacred trust reposed in
them by their masters on going forth
to the war, is a movement which will
peculiarly commend itself to all.
1.-THE erection of such a monument
would not only be Indicative of a fine
sense of gratefulness, but a beautiful
thing to do in expressive appreciation
of one of the noblest traits of our ma
ture. Many people at the North also
would, no doubt, count it a pleasure
to contribute to a conspicuous memoir
ial of such character. An instance
of a fidelity SO absolute is not SO com
mon that the world can well afford to
pass it over unnoted and unremember
ed.
But more than that. 1t were well
to consider the influence which it could
not fail to have on the people of both
races in the South, especially in their
present somewhat sorely strained rela-
lions. AS preventive of crimes it
would be more effective than a thou
sand barbaric lynchings."

The Home and the Woman VOTER.

To-day, in the household, the man is
the voter. Suppose the wife becomes a
voter too. She will either reproduce
her husbands political views, and there
will be in one house taUo Democratic
voters, and in another taUo Republican
voters, where there had been one. And
this is no gain towards a decision of
questions. 1t is only a multiplying of
ballots, producing no change of results.
Or else the wife would take the op-
pOsite siGe from her husbands. and,
instantly, with all the heat and vio-
lence of party differences and political
disagreements, bone of contention is
introduced into the home; a new cause
of dissensiOn and alienation is added to
the already strained relations in many
families. Then there is the question
of mistress and maid. Shall the cook
leave her kitchen to cast a vote, which
shall cOunterbalance the vote of the
mistress, or shall the employer under
take to control the politics of the
kitchen cabinet?" And all this, not
merely on the voting day, Or in the de-
post of the ballot, but the weeks be-
fore and after the election are to be
spent in the heat of discussion, or in
the smart of defeat, The American
home is not too sacred and secure to
day to make it safe to undermine it
with the explosive materials Of politics
and craftsmanship. And meanwhile, as
things are now, the intelligent woman,
interested in some great masure of re-
form, has in her hand. not the ability
to rival, Offset, or double her husband e
vote, but the power of her persuasion,
her affection, her ingenuity, to infin-
euce it. 1t would be incredible, if it
were not shown to be true, that any
large number of thinking and intelli-
gent beings, knowing, feeling, using,
this tremendous power, should be will
ing to run the risk OF losing it, by SUBJ
stituting a thing far lower and feebler
i'll its stead. And with the experience
of what she has gained for her sex, with
the evidence of what voting men have
brought about for her under the infiu-
ence of non voting women, and through
solicitude for their interests, the rash
ness of this proposed experiment defies
description From why Women do
not want the ballot by the Right Rev.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS
What Jehn ID. Pennybacker Says OF Ii.

The Washington correspondent CT
the Alexandria Gazette of date Septem-
Der end, says
"John D. Pennybacker, of Rocking
ham county, Va, well-kncwn polltl-
clan of the Valley. has lately under
gone civil service examination in the
Agricultural Department, for the OF
flee of staiistician for the States of
Virginia and West Virginia. There
were seventeen others examined, in
Guiding five ladies. all of whom are
supposed to be residents of one or the
other of the States named. The salary
attached to the office is small and Mr..
Pennybacker in his humorous way in
sists that the government wants five
thousand dollar man for a nine hun
dred dollar Office He doesn't seem to
suppose that the ladies are in it The
examination occurred during two of
the hottest days of the week just past
and occupied fifteen hours. The heat,
he says, was roasting and the examin-
ing room veritable sweat box. The
ladies showed less sign of fatigue than
the men. The applicant was first re
quired to write an essay on statistics.
Next he or she was invited to spread
himself or herself on any subject sug-
costing itself to the mind, having rela-
ton to agriculture. They could write,
says Pennybacker, of the quality or
peculiarities eff any soil of the earth, or
the cultivation thereof, from the Gar
den of Eden to the great Dalrymple
farm in North Dakota. So wide, he
said, was the range of the examina
| ton, bearing on soils, geological forma
| tions, tobacco and everything relating
to that wonderful weed, problems in
the French metric system, and SO on,
presenting an almost countless array
of hard questions, that he didn't much
believe the Governor of Virginia could
easily pass the ordeal Of such an ex-
animation. Mr.. Pennybacker is look
ing for his appointment in few days
and 1t would prove a very popular one
if he should receive it.

What the Negro Must Learn.

We hear nearly every day of acts be-
ing perpetrated upon negroes in GER
tain sections of the country which
drive some to say" Anywhere but
here" These acts are deplorable;
perhaps, in many instances. lndefensi-
BILE; but certainly dangerous and per-
nicious to the last degree, not to blacks
only but to whites also. But emigra.
ton will not cure these evils. They
are symptoms of q disease which can
be eradicated only by wider and
deeper education of blacks and whites
alike. The present generation of
white men and the present generation
of black men must pass away. A new
generation of each race, strangers to
the abnormal facts of slavery and it's
monstrous offshoots, must arise before
any extensive colonization of Ameri
can blacks in Africa can answer it's
great purpose. The negro problem
must be solved here or it will reappear
in Africa in a new form. The negro
must learn to respect himself here be-
fore he will be able to perform the
functions of true manhood there
Should he leave this country now,
harrassed and cowed, broken in spirit
and depressed, ashamed of his racial
peculiarities and deprecating every
thing intended for his racial preserva-
ton, he would be destitute of the te-
nacity and force, the selfreliance and
confidence, the faith in himself and in
his destiny, which, as a pillar of cloud
by day and a pillar of fire by night,
would guide him in the policy to be
adopted toward the man like himself
whom he will find on his ancestral
continent. A handful of people on
the margin of the continent is a very
different thing from million with i'm
perfect views of themselves and their
work. But will the negro ever attain
to full manhood under a dominant
race? No; not now. On one hand. all
those who held him as q slave and
their children. and on the other, all
those who felt the lron of slavery pene
trate their souls and their children,
must pass away before things will
reach a somewhat normal state

STRUCK Down WITH A STONE
Policeman James Lakewood while
patroling on lower jefferson street
near the town hay scales about 2 o.
clock Thursday night was struck on
the head with stone by some un-
known party and rendered unconscious
for about half an hour. He remembers
blow and half hour later struggled to
his feet with his hand on his head, but
remembers nothing more. He neither
saw nor heard his assailant. He was
probably concealed in the alley near
by. His head was cut and sbruised
but not seriously injured. When he
regained consciousness he sought Po-
liceman Walker and then made his
way home. He was unable to be out
until yesterday. The wound bears
evidence of having been made with a

HOW EASILY THINGS GO WRONG.

Alas how easily things go wrong,
A sigh too much or kiss too long,
And there follows a mist ana weeping rain,
And life is never the same again.
Alas how hardly things go right
TITS hard to watch on summers nlgnt,
For the sigh will come, and the kiss will stay
And the summers night is winters day'
And vet how easily things go r1ght,
If the sigh and the kiss Of a winters nlght
Come deep from the soul in the stronger ray
That is horn in the light CT the winters day!
And things can never go badly wrong
If the heart be true, and the love be strong,
For the mist, if it comes, and the weeping rain
Will be changed by the love into sunshine

According to the teaching of the free

According to the teaching of the free
coinage theorists man should never
learn anything. If ten years ago he
was in favor of the widest use of silver
at is to 1, he should stand up for those
opinions now, it matters not how con
ditions may have changed and how i'm
possible it will be to preserve the parity
OF the silver and gold dollar at Is to 1
when the true ratio is 81 to 1. This is
intolerance in it's woi st form. 1t is the
plainest sort of a proposition that We
cannot force European nations to &C
cept silver at twice its actual value,
and as long as we have trade relations
with them according to the laws of ex-
change, we must give them what they
demand for their money or else cease
to do business with them altogether
except upon their own terms. 1t is all
very well to talk about our independ-
ence of the world in money matters,
but if we once try it in the way which
the silver men advocate we shall soon
realize our helplessness.-Indeg Ap-
