ANOTHER DUTY DONE- As tie Louisville Courier-Jour nal eayp, another pledge given by the D. mecracy to the people hae been fn filled. The last vestige of reconstruction legislation has hjen wi-,d from the statute books Davenport is out of a job. Tie ' Jack" MeClores must take their hands ff tbe ballot boxee. E'ec tions will be held without the as sistance of deputy marshals The Republican party can pay no more ot its election thius and bull d Z3rs by a diaft on the UPtiona! treasury. Tbe Fcdetal election laws have been repealed. This ends the story of reconstruct tior, one ot the least creditable chapters in American history. For years the Northern people, misled by the rant and bitterness of sec tional politician-, suffered their sense of justice to be b inded and yielded up the shaping tf ihj Gjv erumunt's policy into the bauds ot men who, bavins; been non-com tatants during the war, sought to keep alive in peace the passions oi coi.fi ct, in order that they might reap prufi: therefrom without danger. Ttie yea'S f om 1S65 to 1S76 were dark f r the South. Pillaged by carpet baggerf, robbed of their suffrage at the polls b? Federal bayone's, with eesentiaily luharmonious social e ements stirred constantly into c nflict Oy al'en ag'tator, ground down by poverty and burdened by the ac cumulated debts of dishonest gov- emmen', the Sjnth, as patiently as it con d and as hopefully, waited lor the American love of fair play to reassert itse f against sectional clamor. Gradually the b'.oody 6hirt came into contempt, though there have never been lacking Forakera and Boutelles to wave it. Gradually the people of the North in spite cf misrepresentations, be came acquainted with the loyalty of the South. Troops were with, drawn in 1877, and the carpet bag Government?, depriyed of the prop of Federal bayonets, fell by weight of their own dishonesty. Local self-goyernment was re tend to the Sontb, but the injus' tice and suspicion ol. the reconstruc tion era turvived in the laws per mitting interference with elections of Congressmen by Federal super- vitors and deputy marshals. As fate began to indicate more clearly the end of the Republican party's long lease of power its leaders built upon this remnant of recon Etrnction legislation the desperate hope of staying the party's fall by forcible control of the popular branch of Congress. The infamous Force 13 ill was devised for further perfecting the machinery of force and. fraud. .It disclosed a eontemp tor popular rights and a greed for tfficial rower that alarmed the na tion and contributed to the popn lar uprising which swept the party of hate and -prejudice ajd plunder rot) every department of the Goy em men t. The Democracy went into powe pledged Tq repeal the Sherman make ebift, To repeal - he Federal election laws 'o leform the tariff on revenue ctly -lines.

The new commercial treaty be tween Germany ard .Russia is gen erauy regarded as securing lor a time the peace tf iiurope. It does at least remove one provocation to war. The restrictions upon trade created by the recent continental tariffs had become intolerable. The natural interchange of products be twten Germany aud lvussia is essen tial equally to both countries', aid the experience of the last few year?, with their constantly increasing fric- tiouf, had made it equally important to both countries to establish a better commercial understanding. the new treaty is thus a measure of political inclination, and while it tends to peace by removing one strong incentive to war, its actual po'itioal significance mav very ea-ily be exaggerated. It will probably force upon France a'so a modmca tion or withdrawal of the high pro tective policy in which that country has lately been experimenting, with unsuccessful if not d; ustrcus results. It is a fact which interests U3 even at this distance, tlvtt the universe1 in dustrial dep;ession of the present time has been, associated with high tariff experiments ic all part3 of the world, convincing ivoof that m these days or close mternitio lit com munication the utmost freedom of exchange is essential to prosperity. England, it is true, has kept her ports opeu, but as the centre of the world s exchanges as she has suffered with the rest, aud she is our bes custoa.er our own trade has suffered also from her poverty. The time has gone by when any nation can er:-ct artificial barriers to commerce with out disastrous results, and the break ing dowu of the commercial wall be tween Germany and Iius3ia is only another acknowledgment of the Chi nese idea. Gradud I Improvement at the South. Baltimore, Feb. 15 In its weekly review of the South's busi ness interests the Manufacturer's Record sayB: Reports from ail parts ot the South show a continuation ot the gradual improvement pre viously noted, except in the lndusn tries directly afiected by the pro poaed tariff legislation. The vol ume of trade, in general, is increa- ing; railroad earnings are showing up better than V estern roade; con siderable progress is being made in tne p ans of reorgan zition ol various system, and the outlook indicates a gradual but steady ad vancement towards better times. In indstrial matters the list of new en terprises is shorter than for the preceding week, but it includes a number of important undertakings. In West Virginia large tracts of o:i land have been purchased at a coet of about $600,000, reported to be by Standard Oil people.

New York Ledger. A Fraud on the Gov. rncr.. The Arheville Citizen, states that Mr. Fr3nk R. liewitr, of llqwitt, N. C, was recently put on his trial in a criminal court in At ipnta, Gf., for an alleged libel of a Mr. Sanl. The alleged "libel" was cottaintd ir. a letter written to a gentleman in Atlanta, in which llewitt characterized Sanl as un trustworthy and a ' God-foreaken sconndrel." Hewitt was not in Georgia at the timrj nor afterwaids. Notwith standing this fact, it was made to appear to the Governor of Georgia that Re:witt was a fugitive from the justice of ba"- state, and the Governor promptly made requisi tion on the Governor of Worth Carolina for the em render of Hew itt. The requisition, based on tbe false allegation that Hewitt was "fugitive," was as promptly hon ored by the Governor of ftorth Carolina as it had been made by the Governor of Georgia, and Hewitt was carried in handcuffs from this State to Georgia. it is doubtful whether a greater outrage has been perpetrated on a citizan of the state in tha last 50 years. Hewitt was notevea a con structive fugitive, mnch less an ac tnal fugitive from Georgia, and nn der the Constitution of the United States and the act of Congress pro viding the machinery tor its en forcement, the Governor of Geor gia had no right whatever to de mand th3 alleged fugitive from the Governor ot this State," The above statement being true, this is a perversion of tbe ex'radi tion laws, and one that calls tor ao tic.n on the part of Gov. Carr who was duped into honoring the requU sition. We a'so presume that the Governor of Georgia was duped in to maKing tne requisition, ana we ao not aouDt mat ne win be in clined tc manifest his displeasure at the fraud practised on him. Al though it is odd that Mr. Hewitt should not have been advised by his counsel to take proper action to secure his immediate release when arrested aa a lugitive from tne oiate oi ijreoraia, yet mat is a matter apart from this aspect ol the case. If the tacts be as stated, we apprehend that it is not too late f jr the Governor of North Carolina, with the conoperation f the Governor of Georg:a, to bave Mr. Hewitt relieved from the rer suit of this fraudulent proceeding, xr no otner way is legally open now, the Governor of Georgia should promptly pardon Mr. Hew itt, if he has been convicted. At any rate, it is a matter for the trjvernor ol JMorth Uarohna to interest himself in without delay. The Citizen suegesta that it was the duty ot the Governor of this btate to have made lcq'iiry as to whether Hewitt was really a fogis tive lrom justice trom Georgia or not, bit jre h moria thi reqiisi tion. Certainly hal there been any eirenmetance to pnt th3 Governor of North Carolina on bis guard, he should have instituted inqniry : but otherwise, not. In tho absence ot any such circumstance Mr. Hew itt s friends should have speedily notified the Governor ot North Carolina of the fact that be was not a fugitive from Georgia, and thus have put in motion tne wheels ot the lav? that wou'd have rendered nugatory tbe fraudulent proceed ings. newiti, wnere tne arrest was probably made, is on the Marpby branch of the Western Nortb Carolina railroad, far away from Rileigh and near Georgia, and personal representation of the facts in the case could hardly have been made before the arrested man was carried trom this State to Atlanta; but the telegraph annihilates space, and even on reaching Atlanta it was not too late fir Mr. Hewitt to haye telegraphed the facts to Gov ernor Cair, But even now, we as- eurre that the Governor of -North uaroiina win, n mere be occasion, act with seal to defeat tbe pro ceedings that were founded in i .fraud unon him. as well fia" "rmnw th G,.vfirnnrrt flwi. r7il I " ,7 1 M'VMwr, Ralpich NeiriM OhAerven Died!

HER HERO. n aonn aivn bfciwooa tOopjrrlffht, lMI, by Um Author. HY, ii'm Mr.; Dudley! Step right into tha .parlor. You ar weloome. "Is Misa Vio let st hom7" "Yes; the will be right in. . Meantime;- tell . me how you; hare ln tnce. -" V wm a woman iu i:. u4 fttately. She, wii'r . i.hter Violet, had spent II. ,.rrT.u summer in the Catskill mountains, at the "Blake Douse,", .familiarly, known as Blake's." There m the7 had mtA Mr. Harrington Dudley, a young gentleman pending his vacation . at . the same' house. He was a flne-lookiag fellow, tall, broad-shouldered - and deep- chested, and, as of necessity, the. young people were thrown much together, he and Violet began to be very good friends. Mrs. Hadley rather took a fancy to the young man herself, and when part ing, at the end of his vacation, she ln vited him to call on them in their New York home. His return to the metropolis was fol lowed almost Immediately by. a' lengthy business trip to the west he was trav eler for a large electric goods firm and after a six months' absence . he had hastened to renew the , pleasant ac quaintance of the summer by calling on the mother and- daughter at their comfortable, but .not ver-preteotlous, apartments on West Seveaty-eecond street. While Dudley was engaged in con versation with the mother, there was a rustle of silk, and Violet Hadley swept into the room, her great beauty ..being enhanced by the deep rose-tint which dyed her cheeks, and the animated mile which played about, her Hps, showing her pleasure at meeting him again. Soon after this, her mother wae called away, and the young people were left gayly chatting in each other's company. ... "Miss Violet," he said, "de you recall those walks we used to take through the woods by the brdokT "Yes, Indeed! The chickens you used to throw stones at, and never could hit! And the. funny old farm err' she an swered, with her rippling laugh, which reminded him of the brook he had just spoken of. "Dosi't you remember how he told us it was not quite a mile to the turnpike,' and it proved to be over four?" Then they both laughed over their experiences, and he went on, more seriously: . . . ,.. "I have . been thinking of .the last walk we took together over that route, and what you said to me. You remem ber, 1 told you I cared for you and yon only in this wide world and and you answered that we should always be friends, Violet. I now aak you, as I did then, to be more to be my wife." The young lady did not answer at once. A great change had come over her. All the rose-pink had departed from her cheeks, and her face seemed almost haggard. At last she spoke, in so low a tone that he could scarcely hear her: "No, Mr. Dudley no! Can't we re main as friends? 1 like you very much, but but " and then out came the eon tension, as if wrung from her: "But the "TUB CHlCBJtSS TOC USEt TO THROW STORES AT." . . - t man who wins my love, must be hero. Be must do something great. that will raise him above the ordinary men around him. Forgive me forgive me, Mr. Dudley; but I cannot, bdrp it!" He rose quietly, with a half smile. "Then, Violet, I cannot hope," he said; "for 1 am a humdrum business man, with very little romance In ray composition. I go away to-morrow, to be gone until May. 1 thought to go away in the joy of your love, but aa. well, good-by!" She let him out of the front door and. with a last fond ' pressure of the hand. he was rgone. She wondered if ahe would ever see him again. "Violet, dear," said Mrs. Hadley, one morning, are yon going to Mollle Jiurton to-day?" "Yes, mamma,' answered Violet. promised to go over there and show her our new crochet stitch.- Besides, vou know, to-day is her birthday, and aha ia to have company in tha evenlno, and Mr. Chalmers ia to see me home. I will go over this afternoon." ; "Very well, Only do be careful, and aon-t ran any risks." . Three o'clock found Violet on her way to see Mies Mollle Burton her bosom friend, who lived in Brooklvn. It was the 80th of May, a typical spring afternoon, and many-' people were abroad, enjoying the beautiful weather and the holiday afforded by A' cirorial ay. - For ten years or more two huge towers had loomed up on either aide of the East river great monuments to the lndolenea and llr f nln mln Aim. played. ..by. the people of the Empire we e two great cauea- jtaa. aannen ly an unlooked-for impetna c bad Jbee given to the migbtj project offlpanslng (3 the dividing waters with a huge band of .steel, and the work was rapidly pushed to completion. On the 24th of May, 18SS, amid great pomp and clr cunatance, the New York and Brook lyn suspension bridge the greatest single span in the world had been opened to the public . Naturally, then, only six days after the opening, this wonderful feat of en gineering triumph was a great source of interest to Violet Hadley, and she determined to . take the opportunity thus offered of crossing the structure, instead .of going her usual route via Fulton ferry. Accordingly, she passed .through the toll-gate and up the foot way. The promenade is In the middle of , the . bride, on either side of which are the. cable car tracks, with the road ways for vehicles on the extreme right nd left. Slowly sauntering along, she came to where the promenade is raised by a aeries of steps above the level of the railroad tracks. Here she first noticed that the crowd waa becoming more dense; but thinking nothing of it she passed on. Suddenly her way seemed blocked. The crowd swayed and paused, and thinking she could go no further she turned to go back. But it was too late, for in an instant she found her self surrounded by a howling, shriek ing, cursing mob, fighting madly for life and breath. She was lifted, crushed against the broad iron railing, and drawn along, as if by some mighty current, toward New York. What had happened? No one knew. Like a flock of frightened sheep, the people on the bridge were flying from they knew not what. It waa after ward charged that some one the po- rr? ir 'LEA.FKI FOR I.IFB." lice said pickpockets had raised the cry that the huge span was about to . fall into the water below, and the crowds had surged back to avoid the involuntary' plunge. Gradually, the mass became denser. Those in front pressed back upon those urging them on .from the rear. Then aa awful cry flew from mouth to mouth: "The steps! The steps!" And Violet gentle, fragile little Vio let? Crashed and pushed along the heavy railing, ahe was slowly but sure ly nearing the fatal steps.. Utterly helpless, almost fainting, she could do nothing to avert her impending doom. She closed her eyes and waited, expect ing every moment to feel the fatal step beneath her feet and be precipitated Into the seething human cauldron be low. ... Was.lt not strange that. her cruel words to Harrington Dudley should hare occurred to her memory at that moment? Hhl if he were only here now" the thought seemed to burn her brain. "He .would then prove his heroism. Perhaps he would risk his life for hers; per haps " - . The crowd surged back again. The pressure was unbearable. "The stepsi The. steps!" ; They had almost reached them. Oh, It was hard to die so young! "Take hold of my arms, little one! So; steady now! Up ahe eomes." . Waait a dream a pleasant dream be fore the end? Harrington Dudley's velce, Harrington Dudley's strong arm about her. Harrington Dudley's face bending down to her. Then all was blackness. , "Here officer! Bring your plank this way," cried Harrington. . With one end of a stout plank on the pathway and the other on a stalwart policemen's shoulder, who braced him self on the tie or the railroad beneath. Dudley,, with Violet in his arms, slid acroea the bending support, and leaped lor life. It was a perilous venture, but he landed safely on the solid roadbed, and the next moment was bearing hia preoloue burden to a cab and rattling away toward seventy-second street. , Attracted by similar curiosity to that which led Violet to cross the bridge, he had paased into the Brooklyn entrance and become Involved in the crush. By main strength be had struggled upon the broad railing and was seeking a means ot - escape when a lady's hat at tracted his attention. He had seen those flowers too often not to recognise them. With a cry he sprang forward and lifted Violet out of her -terrible ait- nation and called on the aid of the po liceman with a punk. : The next day Harrington called at the Hadleya. The mother opened the door .for him and said: . "I am so glad you have come, Mr. .Dudley. Violet wants so badly to see you." : He found her sitting in the cozy lit tle parlor waiting for him. She was still quite pale from the effeota of her terrible experience of the day before. .. . "Did you hear that twelve persona . were killed under those dreadful steps yesterday?" she said, with a shudder. "Yea. To think that we might-have .been among the numberr' he an swered. -Nor she laid, vehemently; "but I would havo been among them but for ."-. . She hesitated, and tha rose-pink came back into her cheeks. He took both tbe little hands between his own, aa he repeated: . JButfOT7" Slowly ahe raised her eyes to hia face.

We are not surprised to learn that there has been a remarkable growth in the popularity of the income tax at the capitol. This idea has always been popular with the masses, but when it was first proposed in con gress its opponents boldly declared that it was obnoxious to the country and that it would carry down to de feat any party which espoused it. We thought at the time that this was a bluff, pure and simple, and subsequent events have proved we were correct. A New York con gressman who voted against the VYil- son bill on account of tbe income tax has since visited his district and reports that he was surprised to find the only feature of the bill which he opposed decidedly the most popular part of it with his constituents. He admits that he misrepresented his people in voting against,, the income tax. It was feared the Senate might eliminate this measure from the Wilson bill but it appears that it has a majority in that body. This in creasing strength 13 due largely to she discussion in the House in which the opponents of the income tax were completely routed. It is also attributable in part to the unmis takable evidences of the popular ap proval of this bill which appear in all parts of the country. People have made up their minds that the in come tax is both right and expedient and they certainly expect Congress to adopt it. . Hawaiian News. San Fbancisco, Feb. 15. The steamer Alameda arrived at 8 o'clock this morning-, with Hono lulu advises up to February 8, On the evening of February 3 an im portant meeting was held by' the Annexation Club, which was largely attended by influential citi zns. The business of tbe meeting was to act upon a resolution re commending the enlargement of the Advisory Council from ton - teen to twentyfour members. This measure had been strongly urged iu the American League. Instead of passing the resolution, however, another was substituted and carried, as folio we; Hesolvcd.

On the 5th inst., the arrival of the China produced a strong sen sation by bringing Washington re port that President Cleveland would instruct Minister Willis to demand Dole's withdrawal of his charges ot menacing attitude, or in case of refneal, to sever diplomatic rela tions. The Koyalitts were much elated by this report. Painful anx eity prevailed among the eup- porters of the Government. Minister Willis has given no in- dication of having received such instructions, His recent relations with the Government have been very cordial. His latest communi cation to the Government, ap parent y closing the correspondence on the attitude question, was friendly in the highest degree. An inquiry was made of President Dole who expressed the opinion that alter such a letter Minister Willis would not think of re-open ing the controversy. SENATE AND HOUSE SENATE. Washington, Feb- 15.

A Great Problem- Every spring the Mississippi river becomes a terror to the ?.eo pic for hundreds of miles along its shores. This mighty stream waters and fertilizes with its deposits the finest agricultural region in the world, but it often exacts a fearful penalty from those who enjoy its favors. When the spring floods come people along the lowjr Mi6 eissippi watch tbe rising river with fear and trembling and wonder if the walls and artificial embank ments they bave thrown up to hold it within limits will withstand its rush. Frequently the stream breaks over and through these barriers and carries ruin in its unchecked course. Millions of property and many human lives have been de stroyed by the overflow of the Mississippi. Of reeent years these floods have been heavier and more disastrous than ever before. Thi has been doe to tha fact that mil lions of acres which are drained by the river have been denuded of their timber and no longer absorb the rains which fall so heavily in in the spring. The water rushes n unwonted volumes into the great drain and its volume is swelled far beyond what was once considered a flood. The govern ment has expended millions of dol lars and private enterprises mil lions more in construction of levees. Most of those alreso weak as to afford mere temporary pro tection, and the problem ol the Mis sissippi is yet unsolved. lbere is now danger ot an over flow which would destroy a vast amount of property and interfere seriously with the prospects of thousands of farmers. Thi'a dan ger recurs with each spring, and it will require the exercise ot great skill and the expenditure of a vast amount ot money to give the dwel lers in the Mississippi valley a sense of security, Atlanta Jour nal.
