the proposition is made to arrest there

the negro TO political serfdom as the So
cial menial of his former master. II is
proposed 10 abandon the principles of
the American experiment and substitute
for them the aristocratic policy adopted
in the British West Indies. The poiit-
ical drift OF the country indicates that
this policy is likely TO be adopted. Be-
fore II is, let those at the South who are
interested in the industrial welfare of
their section pause and reflect upon Ger
tain industrial consequences which will





in America will not work under political
serfdom as the social menial OF the white
man. He will become here what he be-
came under the same system in the Brit
ish West Indies. This evil cannot be
remedied by labor laws, by penal servi-
tude or any other form of subordination
which the art of man can devise. There
can be no middle ground between slay-
cry and citizenship. The North sshould
also pause before consummating this
fatal policy. The North is interested in
making final and secure the great repub-
hcan experiment involved in the emanci-
patton and Acknowledgement of the negro
slave Of the South. That experiment
means everything forP Protestant America.
1t is the test not only of the integrity of
emancipation but it is also the test of
the integrity of republican institutions.
In this case the cause of the negro is the
cause of the republic. They must stand
or fall together.


1t only remains to make good this citi-
zenship policy in the uplifting of the
emancipated race of the South, in order
TO bless the Soutb-both races sharing
in the blessing-and to pour the life
blood of prosperity through every COM
mercial and industrial ramifcation of
the nation. To make good this work,
education must be engrafted on citizen
ship. This educational policy must not
be for a race of child-men or political
serfs, but for race of men worthy of
American citizens. What the character
of such an education should be, it is
surely needless to discuss among intelli-
gent self-respecting Northerners. II AM

a FAMOUS HORsE.-The history of
the venerable trotter, Flora Temple, now
somewhere in the twenty-oddth year of
her age, affords splendid example to
the two-legged youth of our country.
Born of poor, though hardly respectable
parents, her early advantages were ex-
tremely limited. and she gave so little
promise of usefulness in her colthood
that she seemed scarcely worth the mig
gardly supply Of corn and fodder they
allowed her. Some idea of her apparent
value at that period of her existence
may be formed from the fact that she
was once sold for the contemplate sum
of three dollars, and at another time for
the not less contemplate bagatelle of a
single barrelleG shotgun. But the guam
tity Of come-out in her was perfectly
marvellous. And now mark where she
stands "a worldwide wonder on the
measureless disc Of fame. True, other
trotters have beaten her time, but then,
she is hardly more than half the size Of
some other horses, and none Of them
knew how to trot till she showed them.

Civility costs little and pays in the

Lawrence man who had a small party
under escort from this city to a seaside
resort is the newest illustration. Ar
rived at the railroad terminus there was
only one hack. The Lawrence man
wanted the exclusive use of it for him
self and three persons whom he consid-
cred himself honored by escorting. An
elderly lady, very plain in appearance,
desired a seat inside, and that the Law
renee man should accommodate her by
riding on the box with the driver. He
was firm in his purpose, though, of mo-
nopolizing the hack, and the hack-driver
with an eye to business auetioned off the
use of the vehicle, finally making a bar
gain with the Lawrence man for So
The hack rolled off with the Lawrence
man triumphantly in possession, leaving
the old lady standing upon the depot
platform to make her way as best she
could. In the evening the Lawrence
man was relating to company of ac-
quaintances his experience with ga
troublesome, fussy old Irish woman at
the station" A gentleman who was
standing by, well-known as quite prom
Inent IN business affairs in New Hamp-

and that there was, too. strange coin,

A dispatch from Long Branek Ia
the Hoston Iranscrtpt says: a. ai.,'' -
There is good authority Tor siyina
that President Grant is well pleased
with the present political. outlook.
For fhe past few days the President
hes abandoned the reticenee f6f which
he is usually remarkable, and Inns not
hesitatcd to express his views of cur
rent events freely among his friends.


Under all circumstances President
Grant believes the people will be com.
PEELED to recognize the Democratic
party as the party of imitation and
repudiation, and the Republican par
ty as the friends of resumption and OF
the preservation of the national honor
and credit. The issue of next years
campaign, says the President, is al
ready made, and has been chosen by
the Democracy.


In ais message to the next Congress,
when Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives will have the privilege OF
considering his recommendations, he
will set .orth as strongly as he posi-
bly, can the depressed and suffering


~ndition Of the business and com
mercc OF the nation, and will direct
attention to the necessity of taking
measures to establish the currency on
a sound basis by preparing fol resump
tion under the existing law in 1879,
to which he will say we alone can look
for q restoration of confidence and
credit and q revival of trade.


He will enlarge upon the necessity
of increasing the national reveu les as
"a preliminary to resumption. He will
to that end recommend the restoration
OF the duty on tea and coffee, by the
abolition of which the Government
has lost some sec, 600, 900 to $25, 5,00e,-
600 year without any benefit to the
consumer; the taxation of ali articles
of foreig4 manufacture, and probably
the abolition Of the entire free list


In addition, the President will pro-
badly suggest such an amendment Of
the legal tender act as will require the
payment of all internal revenue duties
in gold, as a further provision for re-
sumption. The President will make
it clear in his message to Congress
that he intends to practically carry
OFT the duty imposeu upon the Gov
er .ment by the rcsur- ption act, by
proceeding TO contract the present
greenback issue to the limit allowed
by the law. Upon this point, moro
than any other, he relies for the sup
port of the moneyed interests OF the
country in the Republican Presiden.
tial Convention.

Brevct Major General Lorenzo
Thomas, late Adjutant General of the
army died in Washington yesterday
aged seventy two. He was graduated
at West Point in about 1929. Ho was
Scott's Adjutant in the Mexican war,
and from its close until the opening Of
the rebellion he was Adjutant General
OF tho War Department at Washing
ton. During the first two years Of
the war he was prominent as Adjntant
General at Washington, but owing to
his increasing infirmities of mind and
body he was substantially shelved for
the balance of the conflict by being
assigned elsewhere than Washington on
nominal duty. Since the close Of the re-
bellion he has been on duty as General
Superintendent of National Cemete-
ries. One Of his sons was slaughtered
in the Modoc war. and another re.

lieve this is the greatest mistake that

Were it alone to pertain to Arkansas

 Everything of a practical bearing upon this class of wells ought to be of special interest in Arizona. The following is from late number of The San Francisco Bulletin:

 In various portions of the city the experiment has been tried as to the feasibility of obtaining supply of water by boring wells. When the new hotel and theatre building on Powell, Market and Ellis streets was commenced, it was thought by the experts that an adequate supply Of water could be obtained to supply the building Work was accordingly be- gan, and boring was made to the depth of about 120 feet, where bed of gravel was struck, and immediately water gushed up to the top of the ground, and has continued to flow un- interruptedly ever since. This was so successful that a second boring was made and with equally good results, and now enough water flows from those two wells to supply the build ing, and if necessary, the entire block. In sinking these wells 14-inch augur was first used in boring through @ stratum of sand about forty feet in depth. This brought it to the clay. An iron tube was then put down, resting on the clay, and then a ten-inch augur was used until the gravel bed was reached, after which a galvanized iron pipe was put down the entire depth, and the space be- tween the larger ard smaller pipe fil- led with cement. The two wells cost about 5000, and the water is clear, fresh and cold Similar wells have also been bored at the Golden Gate Flouring Mills at the Pacific Hotel, and at one or two other places, so that the fact Is fully demonstrated that at any average depth of 120 feet at all points east of Market street toward the bay there exists @ stratum of gravel through which runs a stream of water that can be made ser viceable for all purposes. It IS not improbable that one l2-inch well could be made to supply the ordinary wants of an entire block; and any large manufacturing establishment could save largely in this manner. The exorbitant demands of the pres ent water monopoly will certainly drive the people to adopt this easy means of release from extortion.

 What glorious luxury it would be here to have liberal flowing we'll ill Tucson, need not be described. This town contains about 5000 people some say nearly 6OOO-and 1t would seem as if that many persons should be willing to pay for sinking a we'll especially when, if they get the first one, $3OOO of the expense will be palo out of the Territorial Treasury.
