anxious to SOW the seeds of hatred and dlstrust be-
tween those of our old residents who respectively re-
present the African and Caucasian races These new
teachers Of equality for purposes which are wen uh
dersood are anxious to secure the negro vote, ana
think they will most effectually accomplish that OBJECT
by arragning the great mass OF our citizens as hol
eraut and setting up for themselves bold pretence
that they are amazingly DESTROYS of removing every
vestige of social well political distinction between
the whites and blacks. To show the hollowness and
insncerty of this preence it is only necessary to 60

LUXEMBOURG The Emperor of Francois generally
too clever to betray to the world any admission OF
blunder committed or an oppor tunity neglected lie
and his ministers studiously striving to convince
the French people and others that the recently estab

If is not really part of the Empe5qrs policy but
bis futile effort unite Belgium, Holland and SWAT,
zorIand in a defensive alliance with France showed
that he deplored and feared the new Prnssan ascend
ancv over all Germany. His later effort to obtain
from Holland the little Duchy of Luxembourg, which
borders on France is also another involuntary cones
sion of unneasiness. 1t has failed just as tie o'sf
did The fear of Prussia has made Holland refuse the
cessiop and France abstain from insisting on It, Lux
embourg though under the Dutch flag, was MEMBER
of the old German Confederation and it is much more
likely to become Prussian than French, If any change
in its political position occnrs The governments ana
the peoples of Belgium and Holland would both rather
have it Prussan than French; for it will serve as a
bulwar to each against any possible aggressfons OF
France in the direction of the Rhine frontier There
fore the news that the Emperors proposition to p"r
chase Luxembourg from Holland even at very large
price has been declined onght to surprise no one thae
