CMVKIAXO : Bays that "Tho path of civil bdrvico reform has not at all tlmos been plcubiuit noteasy. . " That is only half the truth. It has boon n Stony path grown with cactus and thistles through which Mr. Cleveland has been forced to run barefoot by his hungry party. Tin : republicans of the Sixth congres sional district of Tonncfcbeo , the old homo of Jtickhon , have nominated . H. Young , a nrgro lawyer , of Nashville , for congress. This marks a new era in the politics of middle Tennessee , us it is the Hi-tit time that ti negro has been thus honored in that district by tlio re publican party. TUB senate Pacific railroad com mittee has agreed unanimously to rec ommend tlio Outhwalto bill to legalize the Credit Mobilior construction bondf and extend the time for their payment sfxty years.

Tnl : idea of presenting the spectacular lar display of Iho "Siege of Sevastopol' nt Omaha during fair week is a gooi ono. If properly presented and exten sively advertised the proposed spoctac' ular display will tiid materially in drawing thousands of strangers to the City. The cities of the cast have re cently adopted these spectacular shows for the purpose of public entertainment nnd they have proved highly entertain' ing and successful. Cincinnati adds ti its exposition attractions the "Pall o Babylon , " while Coney Island nt Now York delights thousands every nighl with the "Burning of Komo undei Noro. " THK impression generally prevail I among old settlers ol this county thai the George Smith mentioned as n. candidate didato for congress is the ox-count ; surveyor familiarly known as Doc Smty.li. This is a delusion and n snare Unlike John M. Thurston , Dee Smith i out of politics. The other Smith was r surveyor years ago but the title was pc litical.

KANSAS CITY complains that Omah 1ms advantages over hoi * in the matte of rates to tome points cast and soutt which are nearer Kansas City than t Omaha. Tlils may be tx just complain for all wo know , and it is fc the railroad managers to consider th propriety of adjusting it. But w * should like to know why Omaha is dii criminated against in the matter < rates into Wyoming and Utah. Th distance from Kansas City to Cheyonn is ono hundred and clove miles greater than it is froi Omaha to Cheyenne , but th rates charged by the Union Pncifl from Kansas City to Cheyenne are th eaiiio as the rate from Omaha. Th - palpable discrimination In favor i Kansas City has placed Omaha jobboi at a disadvantage in a ten- tory thnt is naturally tributary 1 this city b\ reason of being loss distan If any reason exists why the rates fro : Kansas City to Cheyenne should bo 11 higher than fromOinaha wo should lil to have it presented.

The solicitude that is being mnnt- 'ested regarding Immigration may very easily lend to blundering legislation on thoBiibjcrt. The matter offers tin In viting opportunity to the demagogue , ind there is danger that thoughtful and ludiolous men may not bo sufficiently vigilant nnd careful to prevent the demagogues from rarrying their points I'liero is a great deal of cowardice , also , at times like the present , on thu part of men who can have no plausible excuse for being cowards. It is undoubtedly Into that there are abuses which must no corrected. The Investigation of the Ford committee has already shown this. The fault Is in the failure to properly enforce ex isting laws , which are believed to ho ample if i-igidly enforced to secure im munity against the entrance of the ob- jcctionablo classes designated in the lawn. It would have been impossible for Italian padrones and contrai-tors to hiivq brought twenty thousand or moro Indigent Italian laborers into the country , in the short period of six months , if these charged with exe cuting the laws against the importa tion of this das * of labor had fully uor- formcd their duty. Perhaps the ma chinery , for which congress is responsi ble , is deficient. But in any event it is beyond fueslion [ that there would now bo no such neces sity a exists for investigating immigra tion , and thin subject would not occupy the prominence in public attention it does , if the immigration laws wo have had boon enforced as it was intended they should be. It is now proposed to amend , so as to make it stronger , the law prohibiting the importation of foreign labor under contract. As the law stands its lan guage Is general. The proposed amend ment Hpecifioi the classes to bo ex cluded , and among them are nrtlats. Wobdtor says "an artist is one who is skilled in some one of the line arts , " and another authority quoted by the lexicographer says "the term is par ticularly applied to painters , sculp tors , musicians , engravers and ar chitects. " If the proposed amend ment should bo adopted an American citi/.en who might dcsiro his portrait painted by some eminent foreign painter , or wished to perpetuate his memory in marble carved by the mas ter hand of a Europetln sculptor , must go abroad to have the work performed , submit to have it done in an inferior way at homo , or forego the desire. IIo could not bring painter or sculptor to thib country , because , being an artist , the law would exclude him. A' Mois- soiiier or Dartholdi would hardly inter fere with any American painter or sculptor , but neither of them would bo allowed to land on American soil if handicapped by n contract to do a piece of work in their respective arts. Is thci-w not a very palpable suggestion ol absurdity in n proposition that carries such a possibility with it ? If the term artist is used the law should specify what classes of workers it is intended to embrace. Otherwise it may soinctims be given nn application that will sub ject the country to world-wide ridicule. There will bo general approval of the joint resolution introduced in the house requiring tlio consuls and diplomatic representatives of the government tc furnish information relative to emigra tion from foreign countries to the United States , and specifying the sort of information ' formation to bo supplied , particular reference being had to ascertaining the proportion of criminals , paupers anO assisted emigrants. Aproiw"1 "t and oflloloncr 5" iV' , ' ' Vfllonc * { . . - "ms work on the parl 0 tar representatives abroad would prevent a great deal of objectionable immigration and render far less difficult the task of the homo authorities in keeping out the proscribed classes. There is a tendency to give too mucli latitude to selfishness nud prejudice ir tlio consideration of this subject , and ii these are permitted to control , unfortu nate blunders will bo inevitable. It ii a purely practical matter , which can b ( easily .and effectually regulatad it intel ligently treated in a broad spirit of jus lice , reasonable generosity and souni policy. False I'roteiises. Manufacturers who nro closing thoii mills and factories or restricting pro duction give as the reason for doing si the oflcct upon trade of the tariff agi tation. They say that the promise of t revision of the tariff , with a lowei range of prices for manufactured goorti to result , if the promise is fulfilled leads buyers to hold off , nnd that consequently quently manufacturers would not hi justified in continuing operations nn , . piling up stocks that a short time honci might have to be sold , if at all , at a loss The shut down of the Norfolk and Nov Brunswick Hosiery company , own ing the most extensive mills ii the country and employing eight hundred drod people , is explained in this way "Customers will not buy , " said tin president of that company , "with : prospect of lower prices in the nea future , and rather than cro ahead nm manufacture a largo stock of goods fo which there may prove to bo no de maud , the directors thought it prefer able to shut down for n time until th situation clears. " Other manufacturer give reasons in the same lino. These nro largely false pretenses Every man among these manufacturer knows perfectly well that there will nebo bo any tariff legislation tills year. II knows that there is absolutely n chance of prices of manufacture goods being affected from thi cause for at least a year to come The senate may pass n tariff bill of it own at the present session , nnd if s < progress regarding tariff leglslntio will halt there. The matter will go t a conference committee of the tw houses , and nothing further would b done until the next session. If the any measure should bo agreed upon nn passed it would undoubtedly not talc effect earlier than the first of next Julj The talk , therefore , about lower prices i the near future , ns a cdnscquonco ( changes in the existing tariff , has n warrant in th.o pfesont situation. There is obviously some othc motive behind the action ( those manufacturers which they nr not disposed to admit , . be which intelligent people will not btxvo great difficulty in divining. But it is well to have it understood that these well-Informed manufacturers nro not nt vll concerned about any immediate re sults from the tariff agitation. They enow they are entirely safn from any legislation on this subject * at least for nearly n full twelve-month. And , per- liapi before that time , they will have been ublo to still further put off the danger they profess to fear. The Obstinate Sioux , The disposition of the Sioux toward the proposed treaty opening their res ervation to settlement does not appear to Improve. The chiefs who have boon conspicuous in opposing the treaty are reported to bo as obstinate as over , and the commismonors seem to have made no impression upon their followers. The situation lias suggested ttio question whether the time has not i-otno when the government should abandon the policy of proposing treaties with In dians and make its legislation relating to those wards of the nation with refer ence to the general welfare. It Is not questionable thnt ultinmtoly this will have to bo done , and if the Sioux treaty fails the affect will un doubtedly bo to hasten a change of policy. This treaty is en tirely fair to the Indians and could not prove otherwise than beneficial to them. It proposes that the government shall take one-half of the Sioux reservation in Dakota , about eleven million acres , open It to settlement , and sot noltlo the proceeds of the sale of the land to set tlers as an annuity fund for the support of the tribe hereafter. The remainder of the reservation is to bo allotted to the Indians in sovoralty. A million dollars Is to bo advanced to purchase farm implements and stock for the farms allotted to the Indian families. In all respects the provisions of the treaty tire just and generous to the Indians , and if they cannot understand this , or obstinately refuse to relinquish a great domain of available land , which is of no present benefit to them , chiefly fo.1 the reason that they prefer to live idle , vagabond lives while deriving their entire support from the government , then it will become neces sary to take a dilleront course with them. It is preposterous to suppose that this splendid reservation can bo permitted to continue as at , present , not only practically valueless , but a barrier in the way of the progress of the terri tory of which it is a part. The blind selfishness and stupid obstinacy of thirty thousand Indians will not long bu per mitted to obstruct the advance tu.d thwart the reasonable demands of sixty millions of white people. is a great deal to bo said on both sides of the irrigation question , hut the weight of testimony is in favor of an effort on the part of the govern ment to reclaim the vast amount ot arid land which scientific opinion is agreed can bo rendered available for cultiva tion by a proper and adequate system ol irrigation. The undottaking certainly looks formidable , and undoubtedly suc cess would bo achieved only after the expenditure of many millions of dollars , but when achieved there is reason to believe the results would manj tlmot ] repay the - cost. There arc millions of acres of arid lands , and it is believed that if one-half ol these could bo reclaimed the countrj would bo immensely the gainer hoyouil any probably outlay- thifl uoiiovod that the plan of irrigatiot suggested by Professor Powell and othei eminent engineers would bo of incal culublo benefit to the farmers o [ an ex tended region in averting , or at leas greatly lessoning , the destructivencsso the annual floods' along the Mississipp and Missouri rivers. The senate pro poses an appropriation of a quarter of i million dollars for the purpose of ex perimcnting , nnd the government cai afford tlio expenditure of that amoun for so manifestly important an object.

There are llvo 01 six distinct railroud companies In the Dis trlct of Columbia , all conducted under differ cut names and by distinct sals of minor ofii clals , yet they nro all owned or controlled bj ono company. The object in inalntainiiif separate organisations for each system o ; lines Is to glvo the parent company nion arms with which to light congress ngalnsi restrictive legislation , and to keep out rival lines' Although the p.ircnt company dis claims control of the four or flvo branch lltici .the tickets for all the lines in the district an I/Interchangeable. 1 k Another object in maintaining these scpnr ate organizations and disavowing parental care over nil is to cnab tie | general mun agcment to show by statement that some o ! the lines nro not self uustamlng , and for thai reason further legislation should not hi tnado against them on the ground that while they might bo losing money otiior branche1 in the syndicate were reaping a horvcs' ' amounting to 'JO or 40 per cent on the invest incut every year.

LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG SPEECH jjomou Bays It AVnn Unappre ciated Wlian Delivered. ChlcnRo Tribune : A tiny or two before - fore lie ] dedication of the National uoinu- lury ut Cicttysbttrff , Mr. Lincoln told me tluU ho would bo expected to make u speech on the occasion : that ho was ox- trqmoly busy , with no time for prepara tion , und that ho trrcmtly feared that , Ito would not bu a bio to ncqult himnuU with credit , much less to (111 ( the measure - uro of public oxpcctulion. From his hul ( the usual iweptai-lo of ht | ) private note * and mumorandti ) liu druw u pa o of foolscap , closely written , \\hioh ho read to me , Ural roinnrktng Unit it was n memorandum of whtit ho Intended to say. It in-overt to bo in substance , and , I think , In Jinn1 vorba , whtit was printed ay his ( Jottjsburjj speech. Alter its delivery ho expressed dean regret Unit ho hud not propured it with { rreiitetcare1. . IIo said to mo on the sttind immediately lifter concluding the speech : "Liimon , that npcech won't boarl It is u lint failure , and the people ple are disappointed " Ho seemed more than ordinarily concerned nbotit what the people would think of it. I was deeply Impressed by hi frank and ro- grouitl condemnation of the olTort , anil especially by his manner of oxpres'dinff ' that regret , and my own impression was deepened by the fact that the orator tor of the day. Mr. Kvorott , and Mr. Sownrd both coincided witli Mr. Lin coln in his unfavorable view of its merits. The occasion was solemn , imprcsgivo und grandly historic. The puoplo stood spell-bound , it is true. Tlio vast throng was hushed and awed into profound si lence while Mr. Lincoln read his brief address ; but it seemed that this silence and attention to hir , words arose moro from the solemnity of the ceremonies and the awful scenes which tjavo occa sion to them than from anything the president said. On the platform from which Mr. Lincoln made his address , and only n moment after its conclusion , Mr. Si'uard turned to Mr. Everett and asked him what lie thought of the pres ident's Moeoh. Mr. Everett replied : "It wa- not what I expected from him ; I am disappointed. " In his turn Mr. liverett asked : "What do you think of it , Mr. SewardiT' Tlio respoiiho was : "IIo lias made a failure , and I am oiT.v for it ; his speech is not equal to him. " Mr. Seward then turned to me and asked : "Mr. Marshal , what do you think of itV "I am berry to bay it does not improbs me as one of his great speeches. " In the face of thcbo facts it bus been repeatedly published that this speech \\as received with great eclat by the audience ; that amid the tears , sobs , and cheers it produced in the excited throng the orator of the day. Mr. Everett , turned impulsively tr Mr. Lin coln , grasped his hand , and exclaimed : "I congratulate you on jouihueccs&l' ' tiddiiiir in a transport of enthusiasm : "Alt , Mr. President , how gladly would I give nil my hundred pages to bo tlio author of your twenty line-si" All this unworthy giibli , it is needless to say , is purely apocryphal. Nothing of the Kind occurred. It is an aftet- tliought merely rhetorical bombast gotten up to servo tlio purpose of base less adulation. It is a slander on Mr. Everett , an injustice to Mr. Lincoln , and a falsilication of h. story. Air. Everett could not have used tiie words attributed to him in the face of his openly-cxproascd condemnation of Mr. LineoIn'sBpccch , without sujectinghim- bclt to thp jttbt charge of being a toady and a hypocrite , and he was neither the one nor the other. As a matter of fact , Mr. Lincoln's great Gettys burg speech fell on the vast audi ence like a wet blanket. At that time Ins reputation was confessedly on the wane. The politicians of the country tlloto ol his own party , together with a largo part of the press wore casting about for an available candidate 1 > VQ his successor , while a reat i * ' * the ivoHoniw * - , . -.ajority of tz * - " - iur him. I btnto it as a .it , and without fear of contradiction , tiuil this famous Gettysburg speech was , not received or commented upon with anything like hearty favor by the people , the politicians or the pi-ess ol the United States until after the death of its author. Its mar velous perfection and its intrin sic excellence as a masterpiece ol English composition seemed to have es caped the scrutiny of the most scholarly critics and the wisest heads of that day on this side of the Atlantic. That dis covery \ \ as made , wo must regretfully see , by distinguished writers on the olher'nido. The London Spectator , the Saturday Review , the Edinbiirg Ro- viow. and other English journals wcro the lirst to discover , or at least to pro claim , the classical merits of the Gettysburg burgspeech. . It was then that wo be gan to reali/.o that it was indeed a mas terpiece , and it then dawned upon many minds that wo had entertained an angel-unawares who hud left 113 unap preciated. WAUIJ LAMOX. night Doin-r From Inclination. ] ltili : > t S ciiar. Contemplate now the doing.s of one whoso acts according to Kant have nc moral worth. Ho goes through his daih work not thinking of duty to wife anil child , but having in his thought the pleasure of witnessing their welfare : and on reaching homo ho delights to sec his little girl with rosy cheeks ant laughing oycs eating heartily.Vhor ho hands back to a shopkeeper the shil ling given in excess of right change , lu docs not stop to aslc what the moral law requires : the thought of profiting by the man's mistake is intrinsically ropugnanl to him. Ono who is drowning he plunges in to the rescue without nnj idea of duty , but because lie can not con template without horror the dentil which threatens. If for a worthy man wiio is out of 3 employment lie takes much trouble to llnd a place , ho docs it because the consciousness tf the man's ditllcultics are painful to him , and because ho knows that ho will ben- elit not only him , but the employer who engages him ; no moral maxim ontpt-d his mind. When ho goes to a sick friend the gentle tones of his voice and the kindly expression of his face show that ho is come not from any sense of obligation , but because pity and a de sire to raise his friend's spirits have moved him. If ho aids in some public measure which helps men to help them selves , it is not in pursuanceof the ad monition , "Do as you would ho done by , " but because the distresses around him make him unhappy and the thought of mitigating them gives him pleasure. And so throughout : ho over does the right thing not in obedience to any in junction , but because ho loves the right thing in and for itself. And now who would not like to live in a world where everyone was thus characterized ? Tlio Need ol * Ai-iii-BxoroUc. jVijmluiKctotce Monthly. Walking on an oven surface , the only variety of physical exercise which most business and professional men got in town , is well known to bo n poor substi tute for arm-exertion. The reason ia partially plain , since walking is almost automatic and invdluntary.

The arm-usor Is a higher animal than the log-user. Arm niotlons are moro nearly associated with mental ac tion than leg movements. A man's lower limbs merely curry his higher centers to his food or work. The latter muat ho executed with his arms und hands. A third way in Which arm-exoroUo benefits the organism is through the nervous system. Whether this is duo to iti ) increased sttpplv of richer , purer blood , or whether the continual dis charge of motor impiils-cs in some way stores up another variety of force , wo do not know. Ono thing is corlain. the victim of neurasthenia is very seldom an individual who daily uses liia arms for muscular work ; with this , the limit of hurtful mental work is seldom reached. K\-Cinle < lcrati-n as a Committee. Unhappily for the condition of the American pnoplo and the power and honor of the nation , thu de cision of tlio question of the symmet rical and complete divurailleatlon of our Industries rests , for the present , with the adherents of the late southern con federacy. The eighth section of the first article of the constitution of that confederacy prohibited the laying of "any duties or taxes on importations from foreign nations , to promote or foster any industry. " Five of the eight gentlemen whom 'Mr. Speaker Carlisle , after frequent consultations with Presi dent Cleveland , named as a junto to which the duties of the committee on ways and means should bo conlidod , had sworn to maintain and defend that constitution ; and Messrs. Mills , W.lM\ Hreckonridgo , C' . H. IJrcckonrldgo , Wilson and Turner had , serving in the confederate army , shown their willingness to lay down their lives in b.chalf of a constitution that would pro tect the south against the robberies in- llii'ted bt\ the protective system. They wore not peculiar in holding uius iii- tensely to the faith of the Dritiah Cobden - don club. TOBACCO IN ALL FORMS. A National i\posiiion : of die anil Tobauro Industries. Globo-DoinoTat : A national exposi tion of the cigar and tobacco industries will bo hold in New York city during next fall or winter. The subject 1ms oeen under consideration for some time and at a recent meeting of the parlies ii'tercstod the preliminary organi/iitioii was ollecled , and the nllair placed in charge of tlio executive committee of the national association of Cigar mnmi- fucturoi-s. The committee is composed of the following gentlemen who repre sent leading manufacturing linns. David IHridi , Udwuril Ilcjnian , Ra mon Monno , .lo&oph Oppcnhcim , and Frederick A. Ford , of New York ; Al bert Gumpert of Philadelphia , Charles Fuller , of Springfield , Mass. ; U. Baron , of Baltimore , Aid. ; .1. S. Ogden , of Biiighanipton , and Solomon Roth , of Cincinnati , O. The necessary capital has been se cured as well as the good Kill and prom ised co-operation of leading members of nearly every brunch of the industry. The plan of the exposition includes the exhibition of overythingpcrtainiiig to tobacco and its kindred branches. Practical illustrations of tlvo manufac ture will bo given. The culture of the tobacco plant will bo illustrated by potted snecimens raised in every parto'f the globe. The now venture toward raising the leaf in Florida of a grade that will supplant the Havana wrnmer ' ' .op. v.igar manufacturing , with all of the new appliances and improved machinery , will bo conducted in full view of the audience. ' Owing to the recent strikes among cigar-makers , the spirit of invention has been stimulated until from twenty-five to thirty now ma chines , which enable unskilled labor to bo utilized , have been produced. These will bo shown in operation. Some of them tire wonderful pieces of mechan ism , as they must bo to manipulate a delicate vegetable leaf without break ing it and produce a perfect cigar. A feature of the exhibition that will interest the dudes will be the manufac ture of cigarettes. About twenty of tlio largest manufaclurins' llrms will send a number of their prettiest trirls to illus trate the production of the daint\ , cigarette. A wonderful new French machine which makes ciffarcttes without using paste will aKo bo shown. It contains over twelve hundred work ing parts , and taking the paper from a reel rolls it into cylindrical form , doubles the edges under , and by the use of great pressure welds the paper together. The tiny tubes are then filled , stamped with the maker's name , counted and placed in the boxes auto matically. Smoking , chcuing , plug tobacco and snull will also bo manufac tured. All of the leading Key West cigar manufacturers and several from Havana have sipnilled their intention of making largo and full exhibits. Of the kindred branches of trade , the process of manufacturing cigar boxes from cedar logs will bo most in teresting. Looms will manufacture tlio silk cigar bands with the name of the maker woven in them. Litho graphic establishments will display about ono hundred thousand specimens of fancy cigar labels. The manufacture of meerschaum , briar and amber pipes , including the delicate carving , will bo conducted. A unique feature will bo a collection of pipes of all na tions , covering the period of the last hundred years anil ranging from the stone calumet of the American Indian to the jeweled meer schaum of the Viennese nobleman. Largo money awards , medals and diplo mas for progress and excellence will bo given to the exhibitors. The exhibition will attract attention all over the world. In Europe the gov ernments of Italy , Austria , Franco and Spain conduct the tobacco manufacture thomsolvesand sell the product through njrcnts , reaping all of the profit. Their representatives will bo present to ob tain information as to the methods of this country. A faint conception of the extent of the industry hero may bo gained from the following figures : There- are 4JO,0M ! ( ) people in the United States who hold retail licenses to sell cigars and tobacco , and fully 500,000 moro are wholesale dealers , or are engaged in cultivating tobacco. The total number of cigars made in this country during the last year reached the enormous fig ure Of 8,500,000,000 , and of cigarettes , 1,500,000. The manufnturo of plug to bacco reached 100,000,000 pounds , and the government receipts in internal revenue tax on tobacco amounted to $35,000,000. " " Tito JMIsHlnt : Child Fount ! .
