Oneervatism and progress are not mul nalJy exclusive tendeneies in human history. On the contrary, without con-rervatism progress would be impossible. The boose must rest upon its foundations, however high it may be reared. The tree must grow from its roots, and develop according to the Jaw of the pe inherent in its germ. The learnin of to-day is an extension of the learning of yesterday, and the world of the present is moving into the future along lines whose direction was determined in the past.

The necessity of conservatism to progress is a fundamental principle, and if it were not so often forgotten we might say that it was self-evident. Bnt our century, and particularly the latter half of our century, has witnessed so many changes that there is a disposition to regard everything old as effete, and, reversing Pope's dictum, to declare, Whatever la, la wrong." We are afflicted with the conceit of machinery. It seems to us that we are a superior generation because we have rapid means of communication and have more than amply supplied ourselves with labor-saving appliances. The dwarf on the giant's shoulders has a contempt for his support, and falsely imagines that he has better eyes because he sees further. So it happens that a spirit of illogical change is abroad in the world.

The wildest social, political and religions theories obtain and are popular because they are new. We are told that society was founded in error, and that it is in all its spheres little better than organized oppression. Even the institution of the family is attacked, and the virtue of fidelity is discounted in the interest of a freer love. The ancient barriers of the household are to be broken down in order that women may enter public life, and govern not so much by moral influence as by the direct power of the ballot. Faith is decried as the expression of an exploded superstition, and the Christian's communion with heaven is to be exchanged for the medium's" sleight of hand or necromancy.

Legitimate science gives way to sciolism, and the professors of "the mind cure" replace the learned faculties of all the schools of medicine. The land is filling np with quacks, the highways are crowded with hard-ridden hobbies, while in every lyoeum some long-haired crank is proclaiming a modern Utopia built over the wreck of all the cherished convictions of the past. The extremes of credulity and incredulity meet. -Ignorance denies and affirms with equal audacity, and there is no care for any other perfection than novelty. And this is called progress, though in reality it is often the reverse.

If we are asked whether progress does not necessarily involve change, we reply that it does, bnt that progressive changes are wronght by development and not by destruction. One by one the parts of a flower fall away naturally, when they have finished their part in the history of the plant but if they were rudely and premature ly torn away, growth would be arrest ed, and reproduction would be impossible. It is the same with the de velopment of civilization. The mistake that superficial reforms make lies in the attempt to force a premature development; they assume that the lowest races are prepared for the institutions enjoyed by the highest races after centuries of se vere training and arduous culture. And if it be true that the conservative is the enemy of progress, the assumption is logical enough; for if the past has left us nothing worth preserving, it is clear that all the tribes and nations of the earth may enter upon the future with an equal start.

The errors we deprecate are inevita ble in an age of half-education. Our common schools have gone far to teach us the danger of a little learning. But half-education is preliminary to thorough education, and the erainwhioh we live is one of transition from the morning twilight of newly awakened minds to the high noon of rational science and sound philosophy. A LOUISIAHA F1R1BSA5D IN DAKOTA. When his Accidency Bntherford B.

Hayes lifted Senator Hugh J. Campbell out of the political confusion in which he had got himself inextricably mixed up with both parties in Louisiana, and planted him in a comfortable position in Dakota, it did not occur to Lonisi- aniana that the man had specific cravi ty sufficient to retain him in situ eight yeare. How he has to keep moderately quiet all this tune is a puz zle. Bnt hb has compensated the world for the hiatus occasioned by his silence; he has shied his castor and bounded in to the arena with a nimbleness which bids fair to make a good deal of sport and not a little trouble before he is flung. The anarchistic resolution which he has attempted to thrust into the bill of rights of the 8tate Constitution of the nascent State of South Dako ta may Bhake the broad Territory from end to end.

It is one of the curiosities of political history that men will fight for sentiment as quickly and as eagerly for fact. Half of the revolutions, success ful or unsucceestttl Alike, have, been grounded on sentiment, often of the" mott shadowy If a State wishes to change its laws, it must change them in accordance with the provisions of its State Constitution, and not in disregard thereof. If it wishes 'to change its constitution, it must do so in accordance with the nation's constitution, and not, in disregard thereof. Moreover, it can change its constitution in strict conformity with the provisions embodied in it, providing for change. Nothing can be done tumultu-onsly, nothing in a disorderly manner.

Now when Gen. Campbell proposes to a constitutional convention delegated by more than 250,000 people of the south half of, Dakota the insertion in their fundamental instrument of a declaration that the people have right at all times, to' alter, reform or abolish their foim of government in such manner as they may think proper, he is in effect proposing that such alteration, reformation or abolition may bo in disregard of existing forms. Entire Dakota would unanimously refuse to agree that it bss no right to alter its constitution bnt it i incredible that it can Df coaxed to declare actinst the due observance of form. rThe apnvention will certainly provide a mode in conformity with which amendment mar take piaee or a new constitution be prepared; but it is quite remarkable that the conven tion should have voted 45 to 17 in favor of a position which would authorize a mob to overturn a 8tate Government. That Gen.

Campbell should have introduced the resolution is not strange for he lived and legislated and fought on both sides in a State and at a time when State Governments were organized mobs and mobs were incarna tions of sovereignty. But the action of the convention, though preliminary only, shows that it is composed at least in part of inflammable material, and makes it possible lo hear to-mororw that it has burst into fragments. For a few days to come the news from Dakota will be read here with intense eagerness. The exact population of the south half of Dakota, which is making itself a constitution, is 261,500. It has only five towns of over 2200 inhabitants, being essentially an agricultural State.

It contains 50,000 farms The population of the north half of the Territory is 153,199, by the quinquennial census just taken. The State Convention is the result of a serious determination on the part of the people, and is called in pursuance of law. It will submit a constitution to the vote of the people, and a State Administration and Legislature will be chosen, and Senators and Representatives in Congress elected and sent to Washington to demand the admission of the State. It will not be admitted, but it cannot be kept out many years. THE CBI5ESE ABD CAUCASIANS IN WYOMING.

The statements which are telegraphed to Northern papers from Wyoming Ter ritory are extraordinary. It is impossible to suppose that there is a conspiracy of lying in progress on the Caucasian side, and we are compelled to believe that there must at least be some foundation in fact for the assertions freely made. It is alleged that the recent return of the Chinese to Bock Springs, to which we have previously referred, was procured by the most outrageous misrepresentation. They were told that they were to be taken to California, and were loaded into cars with an engine attached to the western end. Then they were taken in the opposite direction under guard, as we have previously stated.

When they arrived at Bock Springs they were ordered into the mines and compelled to obey, notwithstanding such abject terror on their part that it ex cited Ihe indignation of their white overseers and caused the expression of the feeling that it was a shame. De tails are given of efforts to coerce the Chinete by hunger, and through all it appears that the troops were used to enforce the orders of the corporation, although nominally present to protect the Mongolians from the white miners. Our telegraphic columns have already reported the Chinese fleeing westward along the track, as soon as they could escape from surveillance. In all the history of our Chinese troubles we have never had such a shame as this before. It was bad enough to have the Chinese butch ered and burned to death for no crime.

It is certainly absolutely infamous to nave the troops used to compel them to return at the risk of their lives and continue that work of competing against Caucasian labor which had occasioned their predicament in the first place. If the Chinese had been willing to return they should have been forbidden and pre vented by the government. Under the circumstances it was the clear duty of the government to prevent them. It was certainly known that if they returned they could only continue their mining under permanent armed guard. There is nothing in the case requiring such a forced effort.

If the danger had been known before it occurred and it was not entirely without premonition even in that case it is seriously questionable whether a prudent policy would not have required the removal of the Chinese. In the presence of the inevitable conflict, it is not a question of abstract right. Abstract right must be discussed and determined before the conflict arises, and placed in the statutes so that all men may know and obey it. But when the conflict arises, it is time for' the shortest and sharpest means toward quiet and the Chinese having unanimously fled from the scene, the road toward peace did not lie in the direction of their return. The road towards the greater pecuniary profit of the gigantic corporation did lie in the direction of their return, and they were returned accordingly.

If our government is to be prostituted in this manner for the service of the corporations, the sooner we do away with it the better. There appears to be some reason for supposing that the matter ill be taken up by the labor organizations in earnest and the whole Union Pacific system put to lUSTlS'S PARTNER. Senator Eustis has, we believe, a coadjutor, and perhaps a partner. He is from Florida. Senator Call, of that State, has a h'pwl ia Of ihe untamed Democracy of that commonwealth.

He does not, however, say the Preside is no Democrat, and threaten the- administration with irretrievable ruin' like our inexperienced and injudicious King representative. He makes no war on the President personally, but is ready to oppose the law establishing the civil service system. He does not clearly intimate what his line of opposition will be, bnt leaves us to infer that he wiU labor to repeal the law. It is the principle of civil service reform to which he objects, and of course in that respect he, stands in opposition to the platform of the National Democracy, and im a hopeless minority jn his branch of the National Assembly. Senator Call says can see sense, when the government wants a penman to write up a set of records, the applicant should be examined in the discovery of steam and decimal fractions and square root." To which, Florida Times-Union, the ablest journal in his State, answers "The civil serviee, reformer is pre pared to mrvt Senator Call on his own ground, and to say that be can see no reason why.

when the government want a clerk, it should wait to inquire whether the applicant has managed caucuses and conventions in Mr. Call's interest and that he can see no sense, when the government wants a penman to write np a set of records, in its stopping to ascertain whether the applicant has exhibited bis expertness in writing up Senator Call's claims upon public office and the patronage thereunto appertaining." But bur Jacksonville contemporary proceeds to analyze another subterfuge of the demagogue, and completely expose its absurdity. It appeals, to the young men of the country, the bone and sinew of the land, who pretty well understand the need of a reformation in political management Proceeding with bis objections. Senator Call says I am opposed to any law that ahuta out the poor young men ot thla country, who hare doc had the opportunity ol securing an education, bat have gained practical knowledge ef business and fair penmanship by hard practice, from participation in the affairs ot this government. In that '-view, men of sound judgment and giasp or aHalxa, such as many of the men who have risen to greatest prominence la this country by successful management of private affair, would be excluded from the government, to make places for graduates of colleges and of high achoola." When first trotted out by lis original Inventor this argmaent had some plausibility, but since the publication of the statistics of those who have successfully passed the civil aervlce examinations.

It has beoouw like an ax without helve aad with edge battered into chapeleeaneea. Xcee ataua-Uca shew conclusively that ot aU those La Washington and elsewhere who have sue-ceceluUy paistd the civil aervlce examination. iet8 than one-third were college all the reet were parsooa who had enjoyed bo other educational advantages than those offered by the common school, and many successful applicants had not even eajoyed theae. I beaded. In this latter argument Is the insinuation that under the spoils system, which Senator Cau evidently regards as constltutlOBal, practical and senalole, the "poor young men ot the country' who have acquired a knowledge of business and good business habits "by hard praotloe," are the ones who were recognised as "entitled to aspire to public office." am a matter of fact, under the spoils system, such young men stood no chance whatever.

Under that system themen who obtained offlee were the. political workers," the ward striker, tne men who could manage eaueuses and conventions, and the men who had followers" whose votes they could deliver on election day or In the Legislature. Every poor but worthy young man ot the kind described should be an ardent civil serviee reformer because when that reform is established he will not have to do the dirty work of some politician in order to get recommended for pub lie offlee. All he will have to do will be to prove before a body of perfectly impartial men his fitness tor the place he aspires to. And when he has gotten his place, he will be under no obligation to bow and cringe to the 44 influence that got him appointed.

Civil serviee reform la the emancipation of the worthy young men of the country. The only persona who have any reason to dread it are the brigade of workers" and bummers who are In politics to make a living out of their service to so-called "leaders." School Suffrage for Women in Boston Up to last night about four hundred applications of women to be assessed had been filed at the City Hall, the number applying yesterday being sixty, with the usual large proportion of Catholics. The Post says Few If any Roman CathoUo women have ever availed themselves of the privilege of voting for member of the School Committee, a Is their right. If they pay taxes on property they may then vots without paying a poll tax, but if not they must pay a poll tax of SO cents. As far as naturalization goes, that la very easily overcome, for the naturalisation papers of a husband cover his daughter, and those of a brother Include his sisters.

The one thing which It is claimed brooght this movement into life was the effort ot certain well meaning people, who, in advance of party nomination made up a ticket and pledged themaelve to vote for certain men lor school committee who they themselves selected. In thus making up the ticket they did not put on the name ol Dr. John O. Blake, and the reason for thi la explained In two ways. Those who made up the ticket say that Dr.

Blake would not allow the use of his name. Those who are now arranging the plan to get Roman Catholic women to vote say that Dr. Blake was )ef toffbecausehe was an Irishman and a Bom an Catholic And they further aay that because of that action, and not through any special love for Dr. Blake, but on account of the principle Involved, this new plan of getting Roman CathoUo women to vote was started. Last year, they aay, 1119 women were registered.

Of these, 1096 voted for members ot the School Committee, and east their ballots In atxlct dononunanonal lines. To counteract these votes, and to secure the election of liberal Instead of Illiberal men on the School Board, It la proposed to Induce that number of Roman CathoUo women to vote this year. And the movement Is further along than most people Imagine. The members of the Boaton School Board whose terms of offlee expire in 1886 are Oeorge M. Hobbs, Timothy J.

By request of a subscriber, says the Black-mlth. and Wheelwright, we republish the following description of blacksmiths signals, as It appeared in our issue of February, i860: When ihe blacksmith gives the anvil quick light blows it is a signal to the helper to ue the sledge or to strike quicker.

'J be force of the blows given by the black MLlth'fc hammer indicates the force ot blow it 1 required to give the sledge. The blacksmith's helper Is supposed to strike the work In the middle ot the width of the anvil, and when this requires to be varied the blacksmith indicates where the t-ltdpe blows are to fall by touching tie required spot with his hand hammer. It the sledge la required to have a lateral motion whUe descending the blacksmith Indicates the same to the helper by delivering band-uanmer blows In which the hand-hammer moves in the direction required for the siedge to move. If the blacksmith delivers a heavy blow upon the work and an intermediate light blow on the anvil It denotes that heavy sled ge blows are required. if there are two or mors helpers the blacksmith strikes a blow between eaoh helper's sledge bammer the objeet being to merely denote where the aledge blows are to fab.

When the blacksmith, desires the sledge blows to cease he lets the hand hammer head fall upon the anvil and continues its reonnd upon the same until It eeaaea. Thus the movement of the hand-hammer conctitntes signals to the helper, and what appear desultory blows to the common ob-ztr er constitute the method of eommunl--Uon between he blacksmith and hl Up the 8how. -f The Richmond- Whig, in its Issue of Sept. 10, says: 1 "It la an old adage that we have to go sway frarn home to find the newa.
