VIEW The Race Probkm is again discussed fcy a man whose opinion is worth know icg because he resides in the home of the Buffering negro and is in an official TJOSI- bon which enables him to see the effects ef the present situation on the nati at large In the current number of the lArena Senator Wade Hampton of South begins the expression of his lews on this important question by the oposition "That the prosperity and the rpetnity of government depends most i the homogeneity of its people Since ory began men have been divided in races and nations and the mixture of races always leads to the degeners ion of the superior with small advantage the inferior races The right to vote, he southern senator asserts, was given to the negro before the amendment of the institution was ratified, but, as be says, lie thing has been done and must be an iccepted fact The negroes have the right vote and as it cannot be taken from hem the remedy must be sought elsewhere people of this country would not re roke the 0 ht of citizenship to the negro they cou they would consider it a reach of faith As a remedy for the ivils threatened by the present condition )f affairi senator Hampton favors the ep( rtation of the negro to some foreign and pres imably Africa This is of ourst to be i their consent winch the rnter i could be obtained if the ovcrnment would deal generously with Be race It is however very doubtful rhelher the negroes would leave this irosperoui, civilized country to begin the onquestef some wilderness It is un kely that any inducement would lead jem to desert this country If they to go they can go now Again, enator Hampton stated in the earlier of his article that the negro had lever succeeded in sustaining a civilized overnment As examples he mentiones ibena, San Domingo and Hayti.

In ayti the negroes started with a fair mount of civilization and were taught 16 necessity of obedience to the law but ieir attempt at government hai been a allure, a succession of bloody wars of bush whacking character On the inator own ground the negroes could ot make a success at government and the et result of his argument is that he ants to get nd of the negro in some anner without much thought for the Suits as far as the negro is concerned they cannot be induced to leave the mntry they should be scattered over the mntry equally this southener thinks, that all states may feel the effects of ieir citizenship but here again the ct meets him that thiy are of "Lnited States Find can go where they ease and cannot be forced to go where ey do not ish to 'o The total result Dm Senator Hampton's article as sug sting any solution of the Race Prob m' is really me He suggests nothing at is practical, nothing that is possible THE Illinois Central is said to have it to Indianapolis for the plans of the union depot recently constructed at It place This is not surprising be- ise the Illinois Central railroad is al JB interested in p'ans for new depots. company IE so interested that it will make a collection of depot plans curiosities Modern depots are such relties to people residing along the now Central that the company could ibably make a few dimes by exhibiting assortment to its patrons The com- ly pretends to be considering the ad ibihty of erecting a new depot at Chio, but no one believes the story The that have stood since the fire in 1 burned the roof have not fallen and Central will not waste money to build ew depot while that old blackened stands 'BB latest dtveloprm nt along the line he original package decision is the of wagons in the prohibition states iver liijiior to farm houses in any quantity 1 hut movable saloon 8 ptcted to yield their originator a return became liquor now be earned to door stop and offered for sail whin farmi IB busy to go to the city or (ge for Iiipinr interest la taken 1T of this nut! try in the Central i i states Thii interest has increased since the active part taken by states in the Pan American congress has become known and the present war began The trouble dates from the death of Presi dent Menende? of San Salvador, who died at a banquet very suddenly on June 22 President Barillas, of Guatemala, immediately declared that Gen Ezeta succession to the presidency of San Sal vador was a menace to Guatemala and hence the war The present petty strug gle is unfortunate for the countries con cerned because they were on the verge of a scheme of federation which, if once es tabhshed, would have been of mcalcul able value to its members The mhab itants of the different small countries are of the same races and mixture of races and there seems to be no reason why a powerful confederation should not be formed if petty jealousies could be forced aside It is nol probable that the United States would permit Mexico to acquire the control of the quarreling countries because that would put a powerful nation in control of the country surrounding the proposed right of way of the Nicaraugua canal. Since the abandonment of the idea of finishing the Panama canal the privileges obtained by the American com pany for the construction of a canal at Nicaraugua has assumed considerable im portance and Mexico will not be allowed to assume control over it even if that state becomes involved in the present trouble The construction of a ship canal at that point is of international import ance and no nation will allowed to in ter'ere with its completion THE farmers in Indiana have the best roads in the world and they are made whol'y of gravel The difference betu een the main country roads in Indiana and Illinois is verj great In Indiana a heavy raia oniy tends to make the roads better the dust is laid but the solidity of the road bed is not affected in the least THE correspondence between the Eng- Vmer can umernments about the sis' es hs ben 'iibmittea to eon- gre-i 11 1 the peop at mrse It reveals the fact thit the bellicose letters said to have exchanged bv the two prime ministers were the product of a newspaper correspondent brain and that the negotiations have always been character ized by a desire to be fair The position is taken by Secretary Blaine that the present system is rapidly destroying the seal and that it will soon be as extinct as the bufialo if the present slaugnter is not stopped Everyone will acknowledge the truth of this, but it should be remembered that although the United States owns the Bearing Sea she does not own the ocean nor the open sea beyond the three mile limit. Any attempt to claim such a suzerainty will certainly be met by a counter claim by England to equal rights on the high seas. According to all precedents in international law England's claim is just, and any active dis turbance of that right will certainly lead to trouble as it has this case.

It is desirable to protect the seals from wasteful but it can only be done per manently by international agreement! to protect the seals, even on the high seas, at certain seasons of the year and to allow of tneir capture on the share. It would be economy for the United States to grant to British sealers the nght to take seals on certain of the islands By attempting to capture the animals in the THE indications now are that the tariff bill when will have a reciprocity clause attached by which the tariff can be used as a lever to pry open the markets of foreign countries to our products By agreeing to lower the tarifl on certain articles imported from certain countries the Lnited States can secure special commercial privileges in those countriei. The secretary of state has caused considerable comment by his letters against the bill now in congress and his advocacy of an increased foreign traie. This, if it is to be brought, must as the secretary says, be by opening our ports to foreign markets and at the same time securing open markets for the products of this country The bill will probably provide that when other countries comply with certain con ditions the ports of this nation shall be open to the country complying with the conditions Now if the old, ante-bellum marine destroying ship laws are repealed, with the increase of trade likely to arise from the new commercial relations, the American merchant marine will surely come again into existence The present ship laws savor of the days of Cromwell and the antiquatedjideas of that period, and the commercial marine was strangled as soon as iron and steel ships took the place of wooden ships THE new speaker of the house of representatives of the state legislature is W. Cochran He is one of those few who are strictly self-made man.

At 16 years of age he entered the army and was then able to read but very little After the war he irned and worked on a farm and during the evening he studied under the guidance of his wife. After many years of this mode of study he finally entered the bar and he has been a success ful lawyer since He has held only one elective office before hjs election to the that was a township Cerro Cordo.

This prevents any soaking in and softening of the bed of the road In time, of course, the roads wear down in places but these holes are filled with gravel at a very small expense and the road is as good as new The first cost of these roads in considerable It ranges from $800 to $1200 per mile. Some of the roads have cost 1500 per mile but it is generally supposed that a very large profit was made by the contractor at that price At any rate the roads are perfect and they are easily kept in that condition at no very heavy expense Illinois needs good country roads more than anything else There are plenty of railroads in this state what is needed is a good system of constructing wagon roads which will last through a single rainy season MUST of the representatives in the state legislature are of the opinion that if Chicago ere fairly assessed no amend ruent for the increase in bonds would be necessary, and for this reason they will oppose the amendment proposed by which Chicago will be allowed to issue bonds for $5,000,000 above the legal limit of municipal indebtedness But the most smous opposition -will come from those who are opposed to the Lake Front as a site for the fair Among the most active opponents to the site on the open sea nine are killed where one is taken, and this destruction includes the females as well as the males.

The Port? has paid only two installments since 1832 and Russia is now using this debt as a means of putting Turkey in an embarrasmg situation or possibly for finding a pretext for interference in the form of seizing Turkish territory as security for the debt It is possible that the European nations may become involved in a general struggle over this war debt which is constantly being used by Russia to further her designs on Turkey and her territory. None of the smaller states in the Balkans are satisfied with their present condition but they are all very jealous of each other If one secures any territory from Turkey then all the others, like clamoring children, demand an equal amount. Between her semi independent principalities and her Russian enemy the strength of the Turkish government is being rapidly diminished and a crash is likely to occur at any time THB house bill covering the original package decision is so drawn up that it places almost absolute power in the hands of the state legislature over inter state commerce When any article is imported into any state and offered for sale "the same shall be subject to the laws of such state This would make the laws ters UK jury has derided tlmt offirUls whoiiliippod cxploiive naptlw hcntromtr "Tioga under an inno label (hull lx held for I right and heavy punmhmon tie dealt mt to thoso who order ire amount of freight ex the death of imro than isootent men BB pries of silver wlrnnccil very since the piwsiige of (he nil nil A dollar in DOW worth Mr, rente of price which it was THE Illinois General Assembly will meet to-day to consider the measures rel ative to the World's Fair at Chicago and to elect a speaker to fill the place formerly occupied by the late James Miller.

The democrats have gained one member as a result of the special elections held to fill the vacancies, but tbe republicans still have a majority of 79 to 74 The republican candidate for speaker will undoubtedly be elected, and among the republican members who are seeking the nomination the following are the most prominent Charles A Partridge, of Lake, Wm G. Cochran, of Moultne, Edwin A. Doo little, of Greene, and Daniel Padaock, of Kankskee Orvin Cooley, of Knox, is also mentioned A quorum consists of seventy members so the republicans have a clear working major ity in case any partisan legislation should arise, an event which is unlikely to happen in the discussion of the laws to be passed this session GRNKIUI A.

He ii undoubtedly tbe best man who has against dressed beef passed by several states constitutional and the result would be disaster to the dressed beef companies. Local influences are often likely to arise and alleged sanitary reasons advanced for the passage of laws against the importation of products from other states The necessity for such laws is yet to be shown and it would be best to confine the effect of this law, as the sen ate bill does, to intoxicating and alcoholic liquors as it has gone are now making efforts to place the responsibility on the directors of the ill-fated scheme and thus secure a fraction of their wasted treasure The total cost of the canal to date is estimated at seven hundred millions of dollars. In 1881 DeLesseps estimated the total cost at $120,000,000 and the time necessary for construction years That was nme years ago and a committee appoint ed last year to investigate the work of the company has reported that it will yet take twenty years and $347,400,000 to the-a ork as now planned Taking ac count of interest and other financial burdens sure to be encountered during such a long period with no returns, a capital of $600, (WO 000 is necessary to complete the canal Work has been sus pended for two years and it will probably never be resumed The Panama canal scheme has been the largest failure of this century and it is hardly probable that any company will care to complete the work The prospects of the construction of the Nicragua canal have destroyed the last chance for a canal at Panama. THE house of representatives has pass ed a bill to provide for the removal of the friction between the state and national laws caused by the original pack age decision recently rendered by the supreme court. The senate bill anplied expressly to the liquor traffic and was generally favored by the ultra-temperance members of the house, but the house bill was finally passed It provides "That when any article of commerce is imported into any state from aoy other state, territory or foreign nation, and there held or offered for sale, the same shall be subject to the laws of such state" The necessary provisions are added to protect states against each other and against the unnecessary obstruction uf commerce The bill passed by the house must now be considered conference by the con ferrees of the different branches of the I VIAIUI windmill manufactured at Warsaw, Indiana Mr Is always Improving and believes In having things oomtortable and convenient about his Joe Berry leaves to night for Iowa on a prospecting tour of three weeks Holoomb and Merritt shipped a car load of swine to the metropolis Monday night Kellar, of Sangamon, putting the third coat of paint on the NIokey elevator On Tuesday evening a tramp attempted to make an assault on Mrs Dan BobbB ihe had lo some trading and was returning home, going up the railroad, when the tramp took after her she became frightened and ran and as fear lends wiugs to the fleer she escaped from him, reached her home and in' formed her huscand He immediately went in search ot the but his could not be found Clark McCoy is workings night operator at Cerro Goi do at present of the farme '9 are through with their thre hlng and haying but there IB yet a sreat deal to do Oakley and ncinitj needs ratnas badly as anj part of icon county It seems as though we have been ullghud, there having bheu freuuent lain-, all anrand but be believe our has a i is pouring down as we July .4 Farmers cannot complain about the small ram all the way from filteeu to forty bushels to'he acre oats much better Mrs Jiiastus Cross visited over hunday at Oak ley with hei parents Mr and Mrs Durham Mri bailie shepherd and daughter, Man, vis ited her sls'ar Mrs Dr Bowers of La Place, hat Osoir East was called to Moiiticello on busl- Mrs Robinson and daughter, a sister of Mrs Will Bowdle is visiting her at present.
