THERE is no explanation of the tan
talizing tactics persevered in so persist
emily by the Beecher committee, unless
their main object be to completely be-
fuddle the public mind. All anybody
cares to know of what MOultOn knows
might be answered in a monOsyllabic
yes or no. The telegraph is laden with
a mass of verbiage, but MoultOn does
not utter the important mOnOsyllable,
and leaves a horrible suspicion that the
Woodruff story was true IN all its
breadth and enormity. Life is short,
and art is long, but reading public
cannot suspend Judgment for ever.
The last state of this case is worse than

\ Boston man and two VIrginians sat
at the same table in one of the Richmond
hotels. The Boston man was shocked 10
hear the Virginians call the cOlcred waiter
"a ID black rascai' and s'nigger." {"
Surely, be thought, the spirit of slavery is
strongly upon this people. He was careful
to call the waiter ''his friend" when order
ing dishes, and 10 speak to him in the kind
est and most polite manner. NOtwith-
standing honey speeches and bland smiles,
he noticed that the waiter brought the Vir-
ginians altogether the best dinner. Upon
reflection he ascribed it to the terror
awakened in the poor walters mind
by the rough speech and overbear-
ing conduct Of these SOuthernerS. No
doubt he thought they would shoot this
miserable creature dead in his tracks if be
did not bring them Just what they wanted,
and in good style. When the Virginians
left the table the sympathetic but rather
poorly fed Boston man fastened to get the
ear of the waiter. Thirsting for evidence
Of Southern baTbarism, as well as for a
good cup of coffee, he said TO the waiter:
Here were those men who inSulted You
and swOTe at you and talked rough, yet you
brought them a much better dinner than
me, who spoke TO YOU most kindly and
politely; how is this?' "Well," replied the
African, as he cast sly glance around and
wiped the perspITatiOn from his black fore
head with the corner of a napkin, Il know
these men talk sorter rough like, but they
give me money, and you dOn't,'

feeling of disgust for his colored brother.

WHEN the French authorities learn
exactly how Marshal Bazaine escaped
from his sea girt prison, they may find
tools of Bismarck at the bottom of the
affair. The wonderful escapes of polit-
ical prisoners from European bastiles
can only be explained through political
influence. Bazaine was condemned for
REASONABLE communication with the
enemy at Metz. What more natural than
that the same enemy should seek to
compass his escape in ways best known

Deep concern moved this whole CON-
munity yesterday as the meagre dis
patches came in, reporting a few hun
dred whites beleaguered in 4 courthouse
by thousands of armed negroes, while
the families on scattered plantations in
the country round might well dread the
horrors Of San Domingo. The man
who could suppose for moment that
the white people invite or desire such
an appalling state Of affairs, is not true

white mans interests are bound up in
peace, and we must look for the cause
of these troubles in the instincts which
still cling to Voudooism and devil
worship after generations Of Christian
teaching.

ton of enforcing the laws and protect

would lynch a man for an uninteution-
al deed done in self-defence. To es-
cape their insensate fury he is compell-
ed to seek a prisoners cell. At length
he finds opportunity to regain the per-
sonal liberty he had never forfeited, and
the savage horde threaten to burn the
whole town. They proceed to carry
the threat tllto execution, rallying their
black brethren Il arms from far and
near, and driving the whites TO
refuge in the county courthouse, Can
men with hearts anG hearths and homes
do less than resist when driven to bay

their wives and babes? White men

The West Union Defender, the

issues the following 'fair warning"
to Ross county, inregard to the COM
ing Congressional Convention:


Gross county is organizing her

gressional Convention. She Will be
there with about two hundred ''no
bic citizens" of the ancient metropo-
lis" Not only this, she viii have a
little good whisky, and some money.
She will put Ross county man for
chairmanship of the Convention and
sne will also have a Ross county man
for the chairmanship of the commit
tee on rules. She will bully, and
will badger, and if unsuccessful In
these, she will buy her way through.
We warn the people of the otter
counties of the District to send none
but their best men to the Conven-
tion-men who are not to be bribed,
men who are thoroughly honest and
upright. The last Convention was
fraud and a sham; and the people
owe it to themselves to see that its
counterpart does not exist in the
coming Convention. It is time for
a little honesty to be introduced 1t
is time for the people TO take stand
and see that the corruption of Tam

ADVERTISING is FOUNDED UPON THE
FUNDAMEN TRUTH THAT HE WHO DE
SIRES TO HAVE THE BEST SUCCESS MUST
HAVE THE WIDEST ACQUAINTANCE AND
BE THE BEST KNOWN.


The merchant who opens a store on principal
thoroughfare, and puts up an attractive sign, does
so to attract the attention of the public but when
he transfers the sign TO the columns Of e widely
circulated newspaper, he places so many signs be-
fore the eye of the public with this great difference,
that only the passers-by see the one on the store
while the sign placed In the columns of widely
ycircuated newspaper goes after the public, seeks
il out hunts it down in its private walks and ways,
and compels il 10 be obserYant in spite of ITSELF


In making the sign for the store care is taken to
make 1t attractive, and to this end the best skill is
employed The same care should be taken in pre-
pairing the sign-board for the newspaper-to see
that it is prominent; ffatitis we4 printed and that
il expresses clearly fully and definitely some busi-
ness idea, and that it is made fresh from time to
me and TINT it gives the best value Tor the outlay
Many years experience and constant practice ought
10 be worth something in such matters.


Newspaper advertising is now recognized BY busi-


ness men having faith in their own wares as the


most effective means for securing for their goods


wide recognition of their merits.


Newspaper advertising impels inquiry, and when
the article offered is of good quality and at a fair
price, the natural result is increased sales.
Newspaper advertising is a permanent addition to
the reputation Of the goods advertised, because
II is permanent influence always at work in
their interest.


Newspaper advertising is the most energetic and
vigilant of statesmen addressing thousands each
cesselessly at work seeking customers from al
classes.


Newspaper advertising promotes trade, for ever
in the dulest times advertisers secare BY far the
largest share of what is being done. ju1stf

The selection of municipal officers
who shall administer the affairs of
Los Angeles after the. close of the
present term, is matter absorbing
considerable attention on the part of
our citizens. There is much work to
do, and those who assume the duty of
looking after our municipal interests
will undertake task, the faithful per-
formance of which, will require the
closest attention to business and the
exercise of no ordinary business tact.
The records and annals of the past
afford no precedent or example which
may serve as guide and director of
the new Councilmen and the new
Mayor. The interests of the city de-
mand a new departure in the munich
pal programme. The increase in our
population and the expansion of busi-
ness have been so great that the old
times rules and regulations will no
longer meet the demand. The policy
of avoiding Indebtedness in the past
has met the approval of the tax pay
ers, but the advantages to result from
close adherence to the same line of
policy in the future may not present
themselves so forcibly; and it is more
than doubtful if a longer exercise of
the economic principle will result in
the ultimate advancement of the
city's interests. The great question
which we must solve is how to more
carefully preserve and utilize our sup
ply of water. Without water we shall
soon change the aspect of the coun-
try into its original appearance. We
know what we may accomplish with
limited supply of water, and from
that knowledge we can imagine what
would result from an abundance of the
article carefully used. If to secure the
supply 1t is necessary to incur some
expense, it will be to the interest of
all that the work be carried into effect
as soon as possible. To plan and sue
cessfully carry out the water-saving
system, the Los Angeles Council
should be composed of men Of business
sagacity and enterprise, presided over
by Mayor whose ideas are progress
sive and who is capable of not only
comprehending the city's wants to-
day, but of looking forward and pre-
pairing for the emergencies of the fu-

of the high lands is practical and
