Jamaica are too weak 10r Une IFleDus VI
England. The result of the Eyre case proves
that the English Government is as unfit to
rule in Jamaica az in Ireland or India.
4 "VIIBLE ADMIXTURE" on THE JURY
The jury upon the recent trial of Anderson
and others, the Revenue Officers at Richmond,
consisted of seven jurors of pure Caucasian
blood, high frontal angles, straight heels, rec
tilincar shin-bOnes, human chests, hands not
exceeding the average length lips OF whose
outlines those Of the upper resembled the bow
of Cupid and the lower that of Apollo, hair
of moderately repressible kink or straight as
an Indians and a cerebral development and
tout ensemble demonstrating their descent in
unbrokcn lineage from some primeval pair
whom the Creator made after he had fully
learned how. Side by side with these, like
alternate blocks in a checkerbOard, or speckles
in dominic chicken, or ineradcable spots on
the leopard, or the clouds in Summers sky,
or crows in cOrnfeld, were live sons
of Canaan (N. B." Cursed be Ca

blood of nobody y-llnows-exactly-whO de-
scended or asccnded from nobOdy-lnows-
where, with low frontal angles, projecting
heels. curyilinear and elliptic shinbones, very
long hands, lips that did not resemble the
bow of Apollo or Cupid, hair Of iTepressible
kink aud a foM ensemble showing that they
were descended from some brace OF teathelleSs
bipcds whom the Creator must have turned
ont before he had got his hand in. Here was
a splendid opportunity for the Whisky Ring to
yindicate the truth of the Fundamental Demo
cratic doctrine that visible admlXture proves
the "yisibly admiycdn individual to be inferior
in mind and p,Orals to the unmiXed Caucasian.
Ucre wore three Caucasians on trial whom the
whisky Ring had bought for money One OF
them was a nephew of the Hon. John NJ.
Bolts. which shows that in the unmixed
Caucasian race very good men may
have queer ncphews. All of them,
if not of the first families of Virginia, were at
least descended from Japheth, who peODled Eu-
rope, and not from the dusky Ham. All were
Caucasian, and according to Mott and Gldden,
were not of a race born to be bought and sold.
Yet they had been bought for mOney-as Thur
low Weed would say "S30,000 for three men,"
Having been bought and then betrayed, these
of the superior race were, in one
sense, like Joseph at the hands of his brethren,
sold Here also were five descendants of Ca
naan, any one of whom could have sold his YER
dict to the Whisky Ring for $4,000 at least,
had he felt disposed. His verdict would have
secured a disagreement of the jury, which, II
repeated through several juries, would have
been tantamount to an acQuittal. The superior
Caucasians on trial had the money with which
they had been bought still in their posses
sion. Upon what principle of prudence did they
fail to buy one of these inferior jurors? Why
did they allow their superior epidermises to IN
spire the damp odors of dungeon when here
was the purchasabe commodity at hand, at
cheaper rates than they had themselves been
bought and sold for7 The Ethiopians, being of
inferior virtue could be purchased at a lower
price than the T. +. VS., and thereby not only
secure their escape, but leave net profit on
the transaction. Is it possible that the Whisky
Ring, by allowing their Caucasian representa-
tiyos at Richmond to go to prison, mean to
certify that, while these Caucasians could be
bought, their "visibly admiXed" jurors could
