C MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1890, Is splte of Senator Voorhees’ Comniittos of Investigation and the Ku-Klux progran of the Hoosier Bourbons the movement of colored immigrants Into Indinna still con- tinues. A car-load of exodusters arrived at « Torre Iaute Saturday night. Ir fs denied by the friends of Senator Conkling that after Grant his second choles would bo Sherman, as stated In the Sfowlton letter. They say Conkling has not forglven and will never forgive Secretary Sherman for hits warfare upon the New York Senutor's Custom-Ilouse friends, and that he will fight Sherninn’s candiduey to the bitter end, See- retary Schurz on the other hand, is répre- sented as declaring that he would under no circumstances support Grant for the Presi- dency, but favors Sherman strongly. a E—E— Tuy sermons whieh we print this morning are those of Prof, Swing, on ‘ Ieasons for Uniting with a Church’; of the Rev.

They held x meeting yesterday to dis cuss the annual appropriations, and eon. eluded that the only way to increase city expenditures and put more mongy in clreula- tlon 13 to add to the Soelaltstic representa- tion in the Counell. ‘Tho fact that some of tho strect-railway franchises are about ex- pirlng, and tho expectation that the op portunities for being persuaded by profitable considerations will be unusunlly plentiful in consequence thereof, has also had the effect of impressing the Socialistic agitators with the extraordinary importance of the coming mauniclpal election, —_— ‘Tne Irish Socletlesof Chicugo have agreed todispenge with their customary parade on St. Patrick’s Day, and to contribute to the Irish Relief Fund the money that would oth- erwiso be spent in the tsual mode of cele brating tho occasion. ‘I'he mecting yester day adopted a resolution declaring it to be the duty of every Irish-American Society In Chicago to collect and pay over to the rellet of the suffering people of Ireland the equiva- lent of what it woulil cost to orguulze a pa- rade on the 17th of March, Included to the total cost of the customary. streot demonstration on St. Vatrick'’s Day 1s the sum which every laboring man loses outof hls wages by giving upa day to marching through the streets, besldes tho extra ine dulgences incident to w gala occasion; go that if tho spirit of the resolution bo falth- fully carried out the contribution from this are to tho Relief Fund will bo something for Chicago Irlshmen to bo proud of. Dirtomatic circles in Washington are rep- resented as belug perceptibly disturbed in consequence of the tone of recent advices trom Europe, The membors of the different Tegations regard na extromnely slgnifiount the publication In England of the Afghan bluo- book, wherein appears evidunce going toshow the influence exerted by Russta In the Incite- ment among the natives of tho hatred and lstrust of England which led up to the mas sacre of Maj, Cavagnari and the mumbers of the Britlsh Residency at Cabul, That such ehargés should be made public by authority of the British Government te accepted in Washington as indicative of un’ futantion to create additional resentmont against Russla and propare the way for a hostile policy to- ward the latter. [tis also surmised thet Russia Js cultivating friendly relations with France with a view to an alllance jn the event of war with England and Germany, and that the alrift of events in France—~such us the com- pletion of the defenses of Paris, the inain- * tenance of o large and fnely-cquipped military establishment, and the accumula ton of vast quantitics of war materlal—Iis In the direction of such an alliance sya means of revenging France for the humiliation suffered atthe hands of Germany in 1870, It ts sald that the apprehension among European capitalists of impending trouble is ‘showing itself in the sending of large suns ef money for lnvestmout in Admerica, aud that inquiries have been recelyed in Wash- ington ngs to the producing ecapaelty of Anmerlean arms mannfactories and the sur- plus of provisions which could be depended upon from thiscountry in the event of a general European war, ALREADY the high-tarl@ interest has be- gun to exert Itself to secure the defeat of the bill introduced by Mr. Fort, of Ilinols, fidy- ing for its object the cheapening of the cost of print-paper, and It is to be expected that the measure will meet with strong opposition from all the manufacturers who are espectal- ly favored by protective or prohibitory duties, ‘The fact that the object and effect of the bill Js to reduco the cost of disseminating Intel- ligence—notably so in the caso of school- books, og Mr, Fort urges—will not be allowed to silenco hostlty to the proposed reduction from that element which opposes adecrenso of tariff duties on general princl- ples, Nevertheless, there is renson to hope that the Fort bitl will be reported favorably by tho House Committes on Ways and Means, and that it will pass the Ilouse fn spite of the ultra-protectionists, The bill proposes to admit free of duty the ingrediont of soda-ash, which {s largely used Iu the manufacture of paper,—nearly all other {n- gredients being wlrendy on the free list,— and to defeat any further combination by the papermakers by reducing tho duty on foreign paper of the cheaper grades to & per cent ad valorem, ‘Tho total revenue derived from the tariff on soda-ash Is but $500,000 9-year, or less than the extra cost of print-paper for one day to the ‘publishers of newspapers and school- books In America, and the removal of the duty cannot therefore be resisted on nny ground other than seltish unwillingness to Jower the existing tarlif, even for the sake of chenpening the cost of Intelllgenco and education. —_———_———. THE IMPOTENOY OF THE EASTERN PRESS, The tmpotency of the Eastern press, and especially of the New York City papers, ins received a fresh illustration in the dead fall- ure of the scheme to demonetize tho legal- tender currency of the country, The cause of this weakness is the notorlous fact that these Journals represent In sentiment but the small constituency which own and oper- ate the monopolies and the financial schemes of the Jobbers, and speculators, and Wreckers whose fiell of operations is In Wall street. ‘These papers ostentatlously hold themselves out as representing the money and the cap!- talof the country, and oceaslonnliy they pub- lsh a memorial or a series of resolutions to which are attached slynatures which are described 2s worth many illlions of «dol- lars. The {den of these papers is that political opintons and Judgments are to have welght proportionate to the wenlth of thoso who utter them, and are to be accepted by Congress and the rest of mankind accord- Ingly. Having satisfied themselves that dollars alone should contro! political action in this country, these papers ‘never address themselyes to the intelligence, or the expe- rience, or the interests of the country, but coniine themselves to the dictatorial asser- tion that, the stock-gambters and money-lend- era having-decided what ts best for their in- torests, all other persons should nceept such decision ag final, and submit accord- ingly. It is one of tho strik- ing peculiarities of the narrow, Insv- lent, and ictutorial advocacy by the Enstern press of the selfish schemes of Wall street, that they present such jobsag Insplred by “honesty,” and denounce all opposition thereto as the Inspirttion of dishonesty and of adestre to rob somobody. ‘There is nota paper In New York or in Boston, published. as the special advocate of public plunder, of the spollation of the many for the profit of the few, or the “federation” of monopolies that they may become # legalized body to conflsente the earnings of labor, but prates continuously of the superiority of honesty, and Iaments oyer tho prevalence of dishon- esty on the part of those who object to being rébbed, ‘The great railroad combination which ‘ts now raplidly consolidating the control of the 80,000 miles of rallway It the country seems to have flrat secured the control of tho press of tho Eastern States. Some years ago the people of the Northwest. revolted against the slavery of railroad inonopoly at thelr doors. ‘Through thelr local goyernmerits thoy pro- tasted, and when the protests wero tréated with derision they resorted to legistation, They marked out by legisJation tho Mmlt of railroad extortion; they provided penalties for robbery by railrond corporations, and they opened thele courts to the aggrieved people for redress of wrongs and the preven- tlon of erlme, The Enastern press how!ed with rage. Thoy fnelsted on the Invlolability of vested rights, A weekly paper In Now York—the most PecksniMan journal In the Nation—weok after week Unrentened the people of the Northwest that, if this kind of leglstation was persisted in, the New York cnpltullsts would withdraw thelr capital from the Western railronds, would tear up the tracks, take the rolling- atock Enst, and reduce tho, West to the use of stage-coaches inorder to travel to and from the Atlantic States, The picture was held up tothe peoplo of the West that, if they persisted in plucing legislative lmits upon the rates of rnilroad transportation, Wall strest would remove the railways and leave the Western States without a rond, Nevertheless the people persisted, and the ralls were not torn up, In those days, tha old decision in the Dart- mouth College case was liold up as the em- bodimentof honesty, and the country was warned that itmust perish in the hands of awindlera if that decision, now established as having been obtulned by disreputable means, was overturned. Tho railroads have now combined ona National scale what the Granger laws prohibited by the local com- panics; and the country is now to witness tha tria! whether Congress will linve the courage to represent the peoplo or sink un- der tha blandishments of the consolidated monopolies, We nved not remind our readers of the fin- Potency shown by the Eustern prose, bucked by the public appeals and declarations of the bunks and brokers and supported by the por sonal and official efforts of the President and the Seoretary of the Treasury, In thoendeayor to perpetuate the fraudulent demonetization of silver, Tax Onicace Truuxy, and the papers generally of the West,—papers that represent the productive capltal, the energy, and the Jabor of tho country,—took Issue with the monoy-lendors on this question, ‘Tha trlunph was un overwhelming ong Despite the threats, the predictions, the warnings, wud the torrents of abuse proceeding from the press of thesEastern States, silver was restored, the goldite Slylocks were defeated, and a resuimptlon of specle-payments made Posslble, and put Into practient operation, Jn the same way the same gangs who In 1878 so defiantly and Insolently denounced the restoration of silver ag a legal-tender have now proposed the demonetization of grevnbacks. Again, the New York and other Eastern press have been devoting thelr pages to the denunelation of the dishonesty of legul- tender paper and the dishonesty of having any money legal-tonder vxcopt gold. There {4 no conmereia! nation in Europa which coniines {ts legul-tender or debt-paying money to a single standurd of metal. ‘Chis Is the result of an absolute Degg itty. No such country could maintain apacice-payments with an exclusively gold currency, If silver be not also n Jegal-tendor, then paper must be employed, Even England, tho great example of nn exclusively gold currency, has to em- ploy legal-tender paper or it coitld not maln- tain specle-payments, Itis to bo regretted that on this question, asin the case of silver, the President and hisSecretary of the ‘Treasury should have given the weight of thelr !nfluence to this demand of tho Eastern press,—the organs of the searco and dear money operators In stock gninbling and monopolics, But this oficial support serves agan additional evidence of the impotency of the Enstern press. Thougt within a few hours of the Capital, these papers fall, utterly, but deservedly, to exer else any influence upon Congresslonal opin- fon and action. Tho fact ts, those papers aro regarded as mere organs, but never of public opinion nor of public fnterest, Ench 1s well known to be the mere mouthpiece of some particular gambler, or of some particular Ring, and that allare Inboring fora common pool, in which the public is tobe plundered for personal profits, Thera is not paper in the Western Statys, whether It bo published fn a, large city or Inacountry village, which is not known at Washington to represent an intelligent constituency, and, while repre- sonting that constituency, does not convey to members of Congress a clearer, more intelll- gent, and comprehensive statement of the popular will than does any paper published In the money markets of the East. ‘The su- perfor tufluence of papers thus representing the producing population of the country, when compared with that of papers which merely represent the operators on tho Stock Board, 1s shown in the repeated instances of the impotensy of the Intter whenever they undertake to carry thelr schemes. ANOTHER REMARKABLE DISCOVERY, ‘The tatest Invention, that of making fabrics water-proof without affecting thelr appear- ance, on necount of which fs printeil else- where, Is ono of the most important an- nouncements ever mado in the world of selentifie discovery, and one which will place ita successful Inventor even hfghor than Mr. Edison In practical benefit to 1innkind, As might have been expected, the inventor, Mr, 1). M. Lamb, was formerly of Chicago, and first concelyed the idea In this city, whose atmosphere has always been favorable to sclentifle progress, It was while engaged in experimenting upon the julece of milkweed, which he succeeded in transforming Into a specles of vulcanized rubber, that hoe made Ils present discovery of a solution which he calls Vulcatine, obtalned from liydro-carbons with melted rubber, reacted upon by gases, that would make even the most delicate fab- ties, like laces or feathors, absolutely water- proof without changing their appearance In the least or injuring the material in any way. The first public expurlments were mado a few weeks ago, when varlous fabrics, such as delicate colored silks, broad- cloth, leather, velvet, cotton and woolen goods, kid gloves, furs, ostrich plumes, Jadies* bovts, ete, which had been treated with the solution, were plunged In water. ‘The water ran off from thomas It would from the back of aducke Even tho ostrich plumes emerged without the disturbance of a curl, ‘The action of the solution ts to incase every bre of the goods with a film that is absolute- ly impervious to water and yet Is Invisible, Not even dhe pores are filled up, as is the caso with rubber goods, 80 that the circulation of air through the clothing is not mterrnpted, A stock: company ins been formed, at tho head of which ts ex-Secretary McCulloch and several of the leading financial men and manufacturers of the Enst are also con- corned in the management, while’ many sclentific men, among them Dr. Doremus, have tested It and certified to its success in the most enthuslastlo manner, The latter says: * “Chemists and invontors bave made strenuous efforts to secure a solution which, when applicd to avery varicty of goods, should confer on thom water-repellont properties without nltcut- ing tholr flexibility or tint, and that would be without odor,—in other words, unrecognizable by tho senses, Nono with which Lum sequainted, of alltho patents I have read of and with which Thave experimented, accomplish this result, ex- copt Mr. D, M. Land's; and, when when we con alder the simplicity the process, Its inexpen- alvo*character, andf {ts endless npplicability, from tho most delicate tissues of wllks, sutins, and velvets to tho conrser oloths, blankets, camp-equlpnge, and, in fact, all wbeorbent goods, its yulue to.tho commercial world and to the ye rious Govcrnmonts having millions of mon un- der arma on Iand and sea cannat be computed.” There Wéuld appear to be no limit to tho application of this wonderful solution, It covers the entire range of textile fabrics, and its uses may be otherwise extended almost Indefinitly. It ends the relgn of the um- brotla, for one can go through the most drenching showers nnd suffer no inconvon-' fence.’ Ladies will no longer expose, their party dresses to Injury, for, with water-proof allka, sating, yelvets, laces, gloves, and boots, thoy can defy ruln, snow, or fog, and the weather will no longur be a source of regrot ora convonlent excuse.

They know that it would frouso a stonn of indignation from one end of the country to the other. Some other method inust be devised, and this has been accomplished in the special session of the Logislaturo. It 1s important to note at the very outset that the Bourbons do not attempt toceny that the State is Republican, Tho Charleston News and Courter, which do- fends the new infamy, says: The colored neople aro still here, They aro still tho majority. They can on tho color Ine, which is Hkewlso tho Mino of Ignorance and preju- tice, elect their cundidates,1n_ 1880, ns they elected them from 1868 to ‘1874, The voter are thereto dott. And again: ‘As sure- jy as water secks its level the negro gravl- tates toward the Republican party.’ ‘There {sno hesitation in the statement that this Republican majority shall be overcome. ‘Tho snine piper says: “ With these facts before ug, nnd starting with the assumption that ft Is. tho settled purpose in South Carolina that the {ntelligent and responsible eltizens shall tule, whether thoy are nominally in the ma- Jority or not, what course shall the people of the State take to make themselves safe and avold the horribje strain of such elections as the last, with thelr uncertainties and mant- fold unpleasantnesses ?? ‘Tho course has been determined upon. It Is the passage of a registry law disfranchis- ing every elector who cannot read and write, and, ns the Bourbons of that State for twelvo years past have not only afforded the negroes no opportunities for education but have manifested the most bitter hostility to it, it Ia easy to see where tho burden of thisinfamous Jaw will fall with heaviest welght, Accord- ing to the Inst census there wasn total mala white population above the age of 21 in that , State of 63,547, of whom 12,400 were Iliter- ates, and a total malo colored population above that age of 85,475, of whom 70,830 were Mitterates, Admitting that the law makes no diserlmination, {t would disfranchise one- Atth of the white Democratic electors and more than four-fifths of the colored Repub- liean electors. . It may be satd that some of the negroes must have learned to rend and write slice 1870, but this will make no diifer= enca in tho application of the Iaw. Al! tho Inwsa of South Carolina are stipposed to be operated In the interests of every citizen, and yet Itis notorious that n negro guilty of a certain offense can be punished and awhite mancannot. The statutes visit the binck man with the full penalties, while they can be sufficiently strained to allow any white man to escape, It will not be n savero tax upon the quality of South Carolina justice to demand that a colored man who anys that ho can read and write shall read well and write distinctly, and we have every reason to infer that his examination in these tests will be of a searching character; while any white man who can make his mark will be admitted to tho right of suffrage. ‘There is no feature of: this new method of disfranchisement which is not as infamous and os corrupt as tho old methods. It iso deliberate declaration. that the Republicans of South Carolinas shall not vote at the next election. It is a bold and vil- Ininous plot, perpetrated under thin legal disguises, to steal the vote of the State and deliver it to the Democratle candidate for the Presidency, and is as infamous fn Its naturo ns was the plot four yenra ago to sell the vote to Tilden’s agents. It fitly itustrates the low tone of public sontiment In that Stato and the unscrupulous dishonesty of tts poll- tleinns, 93 well ag the desperate condition In which the Democrats find themselves upon the eve of a general elvction. rs THE MILITIA LAW SUSTAINED, The Supreme Court of Llinois has just maidy public one of tho most valuable and in- teresting decisions which ithas over delivered. In an opinion filed on Saturday at Mt. Vornon it sustains from the enacting clause to the concluding section tha valldity of the act for tho organization of the Hlinols National Guard, passed at the Jast session of the Legislature. Soon after this act went into force an cffort was made to secure a lest case by arresting n Communist Captain and some of his men, who were parading the streets with arns in violntion of its provis- fons. The leader sued out a writ of habcua corpua before Judge Barnum and was re- leaapd, the Judge, in a long opinion, holding that not merely the particular section under which the man wns arrested, butall the other provisions of tho law, wero unconstitutional and yold, ‘There was no way in which this caso could be carried to tho Supreme Court, Subsequently o man, summoned as f juror before Judge Barnum, then sitting in the Criminal Court, pleaded his privilege of | exemption, he being a member of the Na- tlonal Guard, This plea the Judge refused to recognize, and fined the man, who appented tho caso to the Supromo Court, where It was elaborately and fully argued Inst November. Now the Court has delivered its opinion, and delivered it with o promptness which shows that tho Judges fully appreciated the gravity of the subject upon which they wero to act. In thelr opinion, published in another col- umn, they take up and demolish one by one, with a clearness of logic and a contempt for fine-apun Inane technicalities wich it is re- freahing to find in a court, the moss of ob- Jectlons made to the validity of the Inw by the Communists’ lawyer and sustained by Judge Barnum, Tho Judges decline to al- low thomselycs to bo cntangled in the web of sophistry woven in tho lower court, but, brushing aside these cobwebs, sustain the will of the people as expressed in the act of tho Legistature. ‘ ‘To the firat point ralsed by the oppononts of the law, that the power to organize and disoipline the militia having been coliferred by the Constitution on Congross, and Gon- gress haying actad tho State has no jurisdto- tlon, ‘they reply that, for many reae sons, ,fhe assurtion ts not warranted, The power; given to Congress to raise taxes and impose duties does not strip the State of the power to Impose taxes for State purposes, The deécislons of the Supreme Court and of various States are referred to to show the fallactoug position assumed on tha othor side, 5 . To the nesertion that the Militla act is re- pugnant to the laws of Congress, they sny, as all reasonable men would, that non-ca- sentiat variations are of quence, It ts not a valid objection that the law does not require the: entire militia to be enrglted as actlye members; nor is {t so serious a matter that tho Stato law does not provide for a Major-General; nor thatits provisions asto the number of men ina company do not exactly colneide with those of the Federal law, ‘To such triylal- tics as these the Court pays no attention. To the objection that the Federal Constitu- tlon forbids a State to keep armed troops In time of peace, the Court very sensibly replies that the National Guard, composed of men whose pursuits ara those of peace, who meet occastonully for drill, and then separate to re- turn to thelr ordinary avocations, Is not to be confounded with troops whose sole object Is war, anil who have no peaceful pursuits, ‘Tho distinction botween the First and Second, Hegiments of this city, whose members must atnight to ‘drill, and who have a millitary encampment once a year, and the standing troops of Continental nations {a obvious to tho Judges, though it may not be to the Communists. ‘Tho objection that the clause forbidding thie march of armed men through the stréets ofnclty without a Ilcense from the Governor where they do not belong to the Natlonal Guard fs Iu derogation of personnal liberty and unconstitutional Is very summarl- ly deait with by the Court. ‘The Legislature, in making that proviston, actedl within the scope of Its powers, Tho polico powers of a State are plenary and Inallenable, It is a power coextensive with self-protection. Its exerelsein tlils pnr- ticular Instanco is warranted by the State, and is not repugnant to the Federal Constl- tution, The object of the Legislature was to preserve the peace. It acted within the acope of its authority, and the Court declines to Interfere with Its decrees, 'The iusory hopes of a favoring deelston of tho Court with which the Communists havo been fed for nyear back are now sum- marily ended, and It {5 to be hoped that they will disband their Wlegal organizations and make no further attempts to violate the pro- visions of the State Inw. France ts affording fresh proof that she Is one of tho most wonderful nations on the faco of tho earth, The disisters of tho Franco- Prussian war, and the payment of tho flvo mille fards of francs us tho further penalty for onters ing upon that war, would have crippled an ordl- nary nation, Wut the seeret of Franco's won- derful recuporative strength and general pros- perity is found in hee admirable land syston.

Ue is not ovicted ina year of bad erops. Le is not obliged to live from band to mouth in rags and squitor all bls life,and to appeal to tho world's charities for money to keep ‘him fram starvation, Tho French Revolution omunct- pated thot from feudal serfdom, and clevated them to tho rank of independent frecholders, no conse’ Tho French Government contemplutes en- tering upon an outlay for State rallways, enunis, works of Irrigation, river nuvign- tion, and harbor fnprovements of astonishing inngnitude and such as tho tmost. prosperous country could alone entertain, Itwill'bo remem- bered that M. do Freycinet, the now Prine MI ister of France, before leaving bis old depart. ment, drew up an clavorate report, embodying 8 gigantic echeme for tho cretion, extension, and union of ratlways and canis throughout tho country.
