The American government is once more under control of an American p res dent And an American party, so Bismarck will please go slow in dealings on thii side of the world. A New York contemporary says of President Arthur that he was "always n gentleman, always an American" two virtues that his "successor has taken special pains not to emulate. President IIakhison has entered up on the duties of his great office with the profound respect and perfect confidence of all good citizens. His record is clean and honorable in every respect, and all the signs in his horizon point to success. Tuere will le no specifically Southern policy adopted by the new administra tien. All regions will lie treated alike so long as they obey the laws. President Harrison will be chief magistrate of the whole nation, and not of any particular section. . The forty-eighth congress had a dem ocratic majority of 71; the forty-ninth Lad a democratic majority of 41; the fif tieth hajr a democratic majority of 11; and the fifty-first has a republican ma jority of from 3 to 7. These figures show the gradual lessening of public conldence in the ability and integrity of democratic legislators. The country has passed in safety through the ordeal of a democratic ad ministration and has emerged from it without any serious and lasting injury. Some staines there are which must be wiped off, and which will be, and the evils of the late administration have not yet become ssfficiently deep-seated to be of an abiding character. When Ilanisou is seated and Blaine is at the head of the state department the old British lion will curl his tail down betweeen his legs, and quietly retire into innocuous desuetude; the little one horse puppy powers will quit snorting and grinning at us, and Bismarck will quietly and respectfully haul in his horns. This part of the business will be so easily and smoothly adjusted that we will hardly know how it was done. But the murders and political crimes of the south will be more difficult to deal with. They are becom ing chronic and may require heroic treat ment. York Times. TIIE REPUBLICANS AND TUE FUTURE. Is the twenty-four yeare of republican sway which began with Lincoln to be equaled in duration by that which has been entered upon under Harrison? It must be conceded, even by the most ex treme and pronounced democrats, that the future looks favorable for the re publicans. Republican strength in con grcss and in the electoral college will be increased by the admission of the terri tories which are to come into the family of states this year. Two or three other territories will probably be ad nutted within the presidential term whicli h is begun, and most of those also will un doubtedly be carried by the republican?. The reapportionment which will be made two or three years hence, based on the census of 1890, will, too, unquestionably reult to the republicans' advantage. All these gain3 are reasonably certain to com?, and all are important. It is well for the republicans to bear in mind, however, tint the conditions are not so favorable to long periods of un interrupted sway by one party as they were in the quarter of a century follow ing 1S30. The war which the democracy precipitated insured that party's exclu sion from power for a dozen years at least, and the attitude of hostility on the part of the south to the honest enforce m nt of the amendments to the constitu tion growing out of the war made the task of keeping the democrats out of power for another dozen years compa a tively easy. The reckless and destructive policy advocated by the leaders of the democracy during the day of their atcciidency just ended has also . aroued against the p irty the rversion of tens of thousands of voters who arc influenced but little by the connection of that organization with the war or its treat- nnt of the negro. But political conditions are undergoing a radical change. The memories of the rebellion exercine los force than they held, even up to a half a dozen years ago, on the minds of the North. With the disappearance of the negro problem as a factor in national politics, which is reasonably certain to occur within- the next eight or ten years, the sectional element in partisanship will be eliminated and parties will fully and fairly devide on economic questions, as they did at one tima during the old Whig days. All this will tend to strengthen the dem ocrats, and mike presidential contests closer and more exciting than they have on thtj average, been since the opening of the civil wir. These are considera tions which republican statesmen can not afford to leave out of account. The re publican party can not hope to remain in power unlets, by its attitude toward the living questions of the day, it proves to the people that it deserves power. Globe Democrat. Beauty's Dower.

THE "RUNAWAYS" THE CEST MEN UNDER FREE CONDITIONS. A Southerner Mukea biucir m Statement and TelU a True story iu Proof Two Men Who Elnd;d Their Muater for Three Team Are Now vTrll-to-Uo Citlxena. A few days ago a gentleman in Haw kinsville, (la., said: "It it a strango fact, yet it id true, that the ncgrot who were most ljersistent in their efforts to elude masters whom they hated and who were commonly called 'runaway niggers,' are the very best citizens we now have. I liave watched many of them, and it has always turned out that way. Negroes usually did not run away f rora their masters on account of work, but because of ill treatment or of natural dislike, and when they once took an aversion to their master he might as well make up his mind to sell them to some ono whom they liked, or to keep a pack of hounds for the pur pose of capturing them every timo he gave thera a chance to get away. NOT AFRAID OF THE DOGS. "Do you see that old colored man in that buggy driving around tho corner? Well, that is old Dempsey Clarke, and he is today- one of the richest negroes in Georgia. Ho lived for three years in the swamps of Georgia because he hated his master, and suffered untold hardships fighting for existence, yet he never did give himself up until his master, in de spair, sold him to a neighbor named Brown, who was good to his slaves. Then Dempsey and his brother came out of the woods and went to work on Mr. Brown's plantation, where they worked until the war was over. "I remember the day that Dempsey and his brother Bristow were brought into Ilawkinsville. There was a big sale that day and several thousand slaves were brought in by the slave traders. When Dempsey and Bristow were put upon the block, they were bid iu by a Mr. Coley, an old planter who was rich in land and slaves. When Mr. Coley bid them in, Dempsey said: We don't lack yer, Mr. Coley, an yer needn't buy us, 'kase we ain't er gwine ter live wid ye." " 'Oh, well, Mr. Coley replied, 'I've got plenty of dogs, which meant that if they ran away he would capture them with tho keen scented hounds kept for that purpose. "The trade was consummated and Dempsey and Bristow were sent to Mr. Coley's plantation. True to their word, the third day after their arrival at the plantation Dempsey and Bristow took to tho woods. Thoy were captured once, but before they were brought back to the plantation they again made their escape, and this time for good, as they swore that they would die before they would ever bo taken back to Coley's plantation. SOLD IN THE WOODS. "I remember on one occasion a party of negro hunters Btruck the trail of Bris tow and Dempsey and chased them into the cypress jungle, and among the la goons just below Big Creek, near where the creek runs into the Okmulgee. The swamp was almost impenetrable, but tho hunters followed their dogs and ap proached within fifty yards of the 'run away niggers.' "When they were cornered the two slaves opened fire upon their pursuers, and as it was geftjng late in the evening there was nothing left for them to do but to retreat, which they did. After tryLig to recapture his slaves for three years, Mr. Coley finally gave up in de spair and sold them in the woods to a Mr. Brown, of Houston county. Mr. Brown was much liked by his slaves, and as soon as it became generally known that ho had bought Dempsey and Bris tow the two alaves mado their appear ance in tho village and gave themselves up to Mr. Brown. "I will never forget how they looked when they came out of that swamp. Their hair and whiskers had not been cut until they fairly met, and it seemed to me that nothing was visible of the face except two black eyes that looked wildly at me. I never saw two men so nearly like wild men in my life, and their clothing served to strengthen the impression made by the first glance at their faces. Mr. Brown gave them clothes and cared for them, and in a short while they were perfectly at home on his plantation, where they remained until after the war. "I do not know where Bristow is, but I am told that he is in Colorado, where ho went after tho war, and that he owns large mining interests there. He was a very bright negro, and always would accumulate, even as a slave. Dempsey remained in Houston county after the war and followed farming for a living. He has accumulated a large fortune, whic h consists principally in lands and live stock. His wife, whom he married as a slave, is still living, and his daugh ters are off at college. As a faithful slave of the old type, a good citizen and an honest and upright business man, Dempsey has the respect of all who know him." Atlanta (Ga.) Cor. Globo Deuiociat. A Woman's Tribute. mA woman has a more excellent way of bestowing a favor than a man. One day in 1S53 Rosa Bonheur was surprised while working in her 6tudio to receive a vLiit from the Empress Eugenie, who en tered unannounced. The empress kissed the artist as sho roan to receive her royal visitor, and, after a few minutes' conversation, dc partpd as unceremoniously as she had entered. The woman artist discovered that tho woman sovereign had pinned upon her working blouse thecross of the Legion of Honor. The cnipcror, who had hesitated to confer tho dinroration on the artist be cau:4 ho was a woman, lia.l left the cm prtss regent during h:3 absence from Franco. One of her first acts wau to drive over from Fontaineblcau, near Hie studio, and decorate Rosa Bonheur with her own hand. Youth's Companion. THE CITIZENS JB JSl. 1ST ! fiATTSMOUril. - SBblUUA.
