TUB SUPPRESSION OF COLORED
VOTE.
The Rejjublican of thin city is engag
ed in reYampinjj Mr. Blaine's post
mortem Augusta fpeech relative to the
suppression of the colored yote in the
south. The chief interest in this fjxccli
lies in the fact that Mr. IUu'mk: was
afraid to make it until after he was de
feated. So long as he thought he might
carry a southern state or two, he permit
ted the negro to take care of himself
after all the southern states had gone
democratic and it was not possible to as
sist the negro in his struggle for sufTragc,
Mr. Blaine expressed indignation over
the negro's wrongs.
It must be admitted that in several
southern states the negro has not receiv
ed the rights promised him by the great
amendment. But what does the hepub
lican propose to do about it i It? party
was in power twenty years after the close
of the war and if the Jit publi'ttn's fig
ures show that the suppression of the
colored vott; in South Carolina was ful
ly us extensive in 134 as it had been at
any previous time.
Will fie KepuLWtiii explain its meth
od of secu-ing to the negro his electoral
rights ? Omaha World.
We hope the Republican will not do
what the mugwump editor of the World
dors, approve of such crime anil charge
it to the amendments and the republican
party. We have an insufferable con
tempt for mugwump appologisU fcr
crime committed iu behalf of the solid
south. The same class of dirt eaters
used to do all the whining and lying for
the domineering slave drivers and when
they lost a runaway nigger they would
make more fuss about it than the owner
down south did. The republican party
failed to do several things for which it
is not to be condemned; one was to hang
a few purjured traitors, some of whom
are today administering upon the affairs
of this nation. Another was to inakf
the present managers of the democractic
party in the south luve any, whatever,
respect for the principles which underlie
the very corner stone of one republican
form of government; the whitest and
mott precious stone of which is the right
of every citizen to cast a free, untram-
peled ballot. We can understand why
the average doughface democratic or
gan wiH Hare up and defend any politi
cal ciimc committed by his party, he was
educated that way. But there is no
earthly reason why a so-called independ
ent professor of political morality should
always be the very first to take offense
when such outrageous crimes as the
. World admits are the adopted practices
of the democratic party of this nation
and by which alone that party can re
main in power a single day are eom
initted.
RAILROAD OPERATIONS IN
MEXICO.
The annual report of the Mexican Cen
tral Railroad, which has just been pub
lished, taken in connection with infor
mation concerning the other roads which
has been made public from time to time,
shows that railway operations have been
active and profitable in Mexico in the
past year or two. The Central's report
covers the year 1S87, and gives figures
for the three years immediately preced
ing. In 18S7 the road's earniugs from
passengers were $1,2:.,284 and from
freight $3,45 003. There has been n
steady increase in the past four 3'ears in
each item. The percentage of gain in
1887 was over 12.5 over 1885 and 5.7
over 1886. The gain in freight receipts
last year was 93.4 per cent over 1884,
3.7 over 1880 and 37.7 over 188(5.
The Mexican Central was incorporated
about eight years ago, and four years
later it began operations along its entire
length. As the distance from El Paso,
Tex., which is its northern terminus, to
the City of Mexico, its southern cud, is
about 1200 miles, the construction
was pushed forward actively. A large
amount of United States capital is in
vested in the enterprise, as well as in the
other Mexican roads ruuning from the
boundary line of this country. Much
inter Ut is taken here in these lines.
When the Central was opened to through
business in 1884, thus bringing the City
of Mexico for the first time into railroad
communication witli the United States,
the event was inndc the occasion of con
gratulation on both sides of the interna
tional boundary line. The interests of
both countries are to a large extent iden
tical, and the business ties uniting one to
the other are yearly growing closer and
closer. The flattering exhibit of railroad
earnings, therefore, in the sister republic,
which shows that that country is enjoy
ing a fair share of industrial . and com
mercial prosperity, will be pleasing intel
ligence to the people of the United
States. Globe Democrat. ,
Both Louisiaua and South Carolina are
distributing circulars througout this
country and part of Europe showing the
advantages which those sta'cs offer to
settlers. The biggest boom which these
or any other southern states could possi
bly get is that which a republican victory
would bring them. A republican victory
might not give them more economical or
more effective local government than
they now enjoy; but it would show the
world that these states stood ready to
grant to every resident all the rights and
privileges extended to them by the lew.

A Warning.
The modes of death's approach are va
rious, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from disease of the
hroat and lungs thaa any other. It is
probable that everyone, without excep
tion, receives vast numbers of Tubercle
Germs into the system and where these
germs fall upon suitable sod thej' start
into life and develop, at first slowly and
is shown by a slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue their
ravages they extend to the lungs produc
ing Consumption and to the head, caus
ing Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous
and if allowed to continue will in time
cause death. At the onset you must net
with promptness; allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous and may
loose you your life. As soon as you feel
that something is wrong with your throat,
lungs or nostrils, obtain .1 bottle of Bos
shee's German Syrup. It will giye you
immediate relief.
Scientific Study of Crime.
Criminal biology is a new development
of science, but one of eminent value.
The New York Academy of Anthropology
Bends out the following questions: 1.
What categories of criminals may we
distinguish? And what are tho funda
mental characteristics, pln-sicul and
psychical, which they display? 2. Is
there a general bio-pa thological constitu
tion which predisposes its subject to the
commission of crime? How does it orig
inate, and what form docs it assume?
3. What is the proper classification of
human actions, based on the affections
which give rise to them? What effect
does the education of the moral nature
have upon the passions, and indirectly
upon crime? 4. Does the number of
suicides stand in inverse ratio to the
number of homicides? 5. Epilepsy and
moral insanity in prisons and insane
asylums. C. Malingering among the in
sane. 7. Tho utility of a museum of
criminal anthropology." 8. The influence
of atmospheric and economic conditions
on crime in America. These questions
are followed by others under tho titlu of
criminal sociology. "We cannot too
highly value the method of stuy of
crime which begins with the study of the
criminal himself." Globe-Democrat.

THE ZOAR COMMUNITY.
A VISIT TO OHIO'S SETTLEMENT
OF MYSTICS AND COMMUNISTS.
A Village Surrounded by Fertile Coun
try on tb Dank of ths Tuscarawas.
Manufactures Cattle Braadlng lbs
Fair S Amrsements. Etc.
This settlemeut of German mystics and
communist is a complete little kingdom in
itself, and not such a very little kingdom,
either. The Zoarites own 7,000 acres of land
in one tract, of which half is under cultiva
tion, while tho remainder is heavily tim
bered with valuable walnut, oak and pine
trees. Their original purchase here was 10,
000 acres, but 3,000 have been sold from time
to time at a great advance over first cost.
Every article, implement or machine that
in used, wrought with, eaten, drank or worn
by the Zoarites is produced in Zoar, as ore
also the materials of which it is composed.
Tho only exceptions to this rule are colfee,
tea, sugar and spices. The shoes the Zoarites
wear are made by their own shoemakers
from leather prepared by their own tanners
from hides taken from their own cattle. The
coal that warms them and cooks their food is
dug in their own mines and is burned in
stoves cast in their own foundry from iron
smelted in their own furnaces from ore found
in abundanco on their own lands. The cloth
ing that covers them is made by their own
tailors from cloth woven in their own mill
from wool sheared from their own sheep.
The beer they drink is brewed in their own
brewery from malt made by their own malt
sters aud hojs grown on their own lands.
All manufacturing in Zoar is done by
water power. Steam is scarcely used nt nlL
Tho Tuscarawas river, by means of dams, is
made to flow with sufficient swiftness und
volume to supply thirty or forty horse power
to each of the Zoarito manufactories. Nearly
all the machinery used was mado in Zoar by
Zoarito mechanics. One of tlieir principal
products is flour, of which, after supplying
their own wants, they ship largo quantities
to Pittsburg, Cleveland, Washington and
Baltimore.
TUB COW STABLES.
One of the chief places of interest in Zoar
is tho great collection of lnnnenso barns, in
which the milch cattle are kept. A consid
erable portion of the Zoarites' wealth is in
vested in their live stock, and they have de
voted much attention to determining what
are re:illy tho best breeds. They have ex
perimented largely with the Ilolstein, tho
Jersey, the Alderney and the Durham, nnd
are now inclined to favor the last named,
though all four varieties are well represented
in their herds.
Every sanitary and convenient device that
modern ingenuity has leen able to suggest is
utilized in the construction of these cow stit
hies. Tho stalls extend in long rows on either
side of a broad aisle, and the conditions for
light aud ventilation are of the most favorable
kind. Already the cows are ojt at pasture,
and it is a rare sight to see the mild faced,
patient creatures come filing in at eventide
in a seemingly interminable procession, each
one knowing her accustomed place and going
voluntarily to it without the slightest dis
turbance or confusion.
On the morning and evening of each day
all the young women in Zoar repair in merry
procession to these barns and milk the cows.
As members of congress sometimes are for a
much less useful purpose, the girls ara
"paired," and each two aro assigned eight
cows, which they must always milk. Fancy
more than thirty buxom young milli
maids, with the good looks which are the
offspring of good health, outdoor exercise
and good diet sparkling in their eyes, lips
and cheeks. Each one is tastefully dressed
in well fitting chintz or calico, and wears a
white apron, which, like everything else
about these most attractive young women, is
scrupulously neat and clean.
Another place in which to see the Zoarite
young women to advantage is tho bakery,
where all the bread and pies for the entire
community aro baked fresh every morning.
From 73 to 100 loaves comprise the average
daily consumption of the town. Tho baking
is done by men, but each household sends its
young women to the bakery to procure it3
jupply of daily bread and carry it home,
wrapped in a large, spotless white cloth,
which each damsel carries with her.
"AIRI.NO" TnE LITTLE OXES.
Besides these quaint processions of young
women to the cow stables and tho bakery
there is another similar one to be seen in Zoar
on every pleasant day. That is, a procession
of girls ranging from 8 to 13 years, each
drawing in an old fashioned baby carriage a
younger brother or sister for an airing. As
i all property in Zoar is held in common, so
the Zoarites share equally and participate
together in all their pleasures and duties.
Thus even the babies of tho society are
"aired" simultaneously in a long drawn out
procession.
For the pleasure of the members of tho so
ciety and their visitors a public garden and a
greenhouse are maintained in Zoar. Both
aro of considerable extent and would bo
highly creditable to any large city. Tho
garden is tastefully laid out, and contair.s
some noble trees and elegant shrubbery. A
large and delightfully cool arbor in the cen
ter is entirely concealed by the latter. The
greenhouse boasts a fmo collection of cbok-o
plants and flowers. There is no prohibitory
"No admittance" or "Hands off" on any
thing, and every one is free to enter at all
times and roam about at will.
From the garden and greenhouse it i3buta
few steps to the picnic ground, a grove of
grand old forest trees, in which the Zoarites
have placed swings and a covered dauciug
platform for the enjoyment of their younger
visitors, who in summer time come in large
numbers from surrounding cities and towns
as well as from the adjacent country and pic
nic here on two or three days of almost every
week. But swinging and dancing are not
the only amusements provided for these
young people by their good friends the Zoars,
who find their chief happiness in making
others happy. Many beautiful pleasure boats
are maintained here, anil no stream could bo
better adapted for boating than the Tuscara
was river.
If any people In the world practJcally in
dorse, in every possible way, old John Wes
ley's saying that cleanliness is next to godli
ness, that people ore the Zoarites. In the
brewing of their beer, tho making of their
wine, tho milking of their cows, the baking
of their bread, and the slaughtering of their
cattle, their chief object seems to be the at
tainment of the highest possible degree of
cleanliness. Their slaughter house, where
some magnificent beeves ore killed daily, is a
model in that particular. They are very
fond of the pleasures of the table, and there
re few city hotels whose bill of fare pre
sents a greater variety than that of the
Zoarite village inn, while none surpass it in
excellence of cookery. Zoar (O.) Uor. Chi

TORNADO POLICIES.
The present year bids fair to be a dis
astrous one from tornadoes and wind
storms. This is fore-shadowed by the
number of storms we haye already had
the most destructive one so far this year
having occurred at Mt. Vernon, 111.,
where a large number ef buildings were
destroyed or damaged. The exemption
from tornadoes last year renders their oc
currence more probable in 1888.
