MIR. Linc0la's Opinion Of Negro
Suffrage

In the celebrated Senatorial election
contest in 1893. between Judge Douglas
and Abraham Lincoln, in Illinois, the
latter thus defined his views in regard to
negro suffrage. He said:
Judge Douglas has said to you that he
has not been able to get from me an an
swer to the question whether am in favor
of negro citizenship. So far as / know,
the Judge never asked me that question
before. He shall have no occasion to ask
it again: for ItHhim rery frankly that
am not "a fd,or Of negro citizenship. =
"My opinion is that the d fTerent States
have the power to make negro a citizen
under the Constitution of the United
States, if they choose. The bred Scott
decision decides that they have not that
bower. yhe Stoh Of Illinois had Mo
poorer, l shonM be opposed to the erercis,
IF it,"
This is certainly explicit enough.

REFREsHING-The Postmaster at Bre-
men, in this county, has undertaken to col
lect postage on the Democrat. He is i'm
deed very ignorant Of his official duties, or
contenptibly mean. There is hardly a
right minded man in the county so igno-
rant but knows that newspapers circulat-
ing in the county where published, are
free from postage, yet this official refused
to deliver the paper to DIR. Baird until
he paid postage, as he alleges the law d.
reefs. We advise him not to tamper with
our subscribers any further, or we shall
take the matter in land and teach him
what his official duties are in relation to
the matter

TIE COUNTY TREAsURER's SAFE Rob
BED-Sometime between dark, Friday
night, and daylight, Saturday morning
some burglars entered the county Treas
urer's office, in this city, through the back
window, for the purpose of robb'ng the
safe of its contents. 1t is supposed from
appearances, that powder was first put into
the key hole of the safe, which failed to
do its work. Then an iron spike was
driven into the door just above the lock,
powder inserted and the thing touched
off" The result was successful and the
door was blown open and the depredatOrs
enabled to help themselves othc contents,
which happily consisted of only thirty or
forty dollars, mostly in postal currency
The burglars also found bag containing
between thirty and forty dollars in cop
pers, which they luggcd as far as the
window and concluded to ''lef it be, and
retired with only the currency gotten from
the safe.-LaPorte Herald.

The Message Of Gey. PicrpOnt.

The Chicago Times, in abiding to the
message of Governor Pierpont, to the
Virginia Legislature, pays the following
compliment to the wise end conciliatory
policy of that official:
The most important recommendation in
the message of Gov. Pie rpont to the Nir
,ginia legislature is that which advises the
removal of the DISTINGUISHING clauses in
the present constitution, and which that
instrument authorizes the Legislature to
remove whenever it may seem expedient
In accordance with this recommendation
the house OF delegates, On the same day
of the reception of the message, unani-
mously agreed to joint resolution provi-
ding for the appointment of a committee,
consisting of three members of the house
and two Of the senate, to report a bill by
which persons who have been disfranchised
may be restored to their rights as voters.
The senate, on the same day, agreed to
the resolution, and the committee report
ed It's bill. 1t provides that the disfran-
chised persons, before eligible to vote at
any state election, shall subscribe to the
amnesty proclamation OF the president
and he oath thereof in relation to slavery,
and the oath to support the constitution
and government, as established by the
Wheeling convention, j une Il, 1861, and
now restored to Richmond The readi-
ness of the legislature to support the
governor in his liberal views concerning
the removal of these disabilities cannot
but commend the new govern nent to the
people Of the state. His message, more
over, is marked by respect for the feel
ings Of the people in its unavoidable dis
cussion Of the validity of the existing
government There is nothing about it
which is harsh or denuncatory, and there
Is about it an ernest kindlness Of tone
which viii go far towards softeniLg asper-
tiles and bringing the people into cordial
co operation throughout the state in re-
establishing order and government.

The new constitution Of Missouri is
now reported adopted. 1t is radical
enough to suit the times, even as the popu-
lar phrase has it, to establishing the
equality of all men before the law. -

reason takes the place of passion, it will

Artsmn. ward.

Mr.. Ward is representative man 8
perfect type of the Yankee-in physique,
character, and the success that has sttend-
cd him. That be is 5 genius no one can
doubt, after scanning his career. No one
but genius could rise from poor, time
rant boy, without business talent, and with
out business talent, and without mechanical
ingenuity, to position of wealth and un-
psralleled popularity within space of
three or four years
We believe Mr.. Browne began his career
as Boston printer, upon the ''Carpet Bag" y"
q spicy but unsuccessful little sheet, one Of
whose proprietors was BeDjsmin P. Shil-
labar, the famous tiMrs. Partington." From
Boston he came oat West, and worked for
some time on the Toledo Commercial, as q
journeyman printer. One day as he was
ssuntsrlng down town, he saw some sight
that immensely pleased him from its gro
tesqueness Upon reaching the office the &C
cldent was noted down, in an incipient
Ward style, and left upon the editor desk.
1t SO pleased him, that the author was call
ed down from the news room, and duly in
stalled in the Sanctum, where he could
have better scope for his comic nature.
From the Commercial he went to the Cleye-
land Plain Dealer, where for several
years, he allied the position Of City Editor,
It was upon the Plain Dealer that Mr..
Browne adopted the nom de plume of
Is Artemus Ward" and where his humor-
ous vein crystalized in the Ward letters
the best of which appeared in the columns
ofthAt paper. In 1850 MIR. Browne &C
cepted the position Of Editor of Vanity
Fair, the only comic paper ever published
in this country Of original merit. After
working 8 year or so upon Vanity Far he
entered the lecture field, where he has been
ever since, in one capacity or another, and
IN which his career has been familiar to
everybody.-Cinei''7lati Times.
