Too White to be Palatable.

The New Orleans Bulletin quotes this
from the platform Of the Sc. Martin White
Leaguers:
''We are for white men in everything, in
our public offices. in our stores, in our
steamers, on our drays and floats, in our
families and in our fields. Everywhere"
Now we are no white Lacquer, but we in
dorse this, and if this plank is executed we
will Join the White League. Public offices
are placed first, but they must not De ali
and last. The negroes must not only be
excluded from clerkships in white stores,
but they must not be allowed to trade there
in any manner-tO buy or SELL They must
be driven from the cabins and decks of
steamers, and from serving in hotels, and
from all such employment generally. They
must not be allowed TO drive drays, wagons,
carriages, carts, or work on floats, where
whites are interested. From our fami
lies, of course, they must be excluded-no
negroes must be employed as domestic
servants But, above all things, our fami-
lies must be excluded from them-this
bastard Interrogation of races that dis
graced the white race even more during
slavery than now land God knows it is bad
enough now) should be stopped. The
black negro Ia negro is always blackl
blood, who has inherited the social aspira-
ton from his aristocratic white ancestor.
vino wants it. The whites voluntarily made
this mixed class, and God has punished
them. Their negro mothers, who were
slaves, were none too pure; but what was
their sin compared with that of the white
sons Of God, who defaced the image of
their Creator2 tSee Azfel)
Let the negroes be driven out of
"our fields" and the whites driven
in. Let clean sweep be made III "every-
thing" and everywhere" aad we are in for
a white party, not white mans party. But
there must be no double dealing or hypOc-
risy; the negro must not be retained for
some purposes and excluded for others
for instance, he must not be retained to
vote the white league ticket, or not be
allowed to vote at all. This clean sweep
would thoroughly reform the whites. The
horde Of idlers would have to GO to work
or starve; and once general habit to labor
was established, there would be a great i'm
provemeBt in the domestic happiness and
virtue in the community.
But who thinks such a platform prac-
ticable in the present state Of our white
society! And what manner of man or men
is he or they who framed and adopted it?
If he was sincere, he is certainly lacking in
judgment, to say the least of it; and if he
was not, he must want an Office. just take
out the first item, ''Our public Offices" and
our pure white politicians will readily let
the blacks share in the Opelousas

Peaceful Adjustment Of Interna tional
Differences.

The House last Thursday took action
which commits that body to a policy of
international peace. Two resolutions were
adopted, both looking to the adjustment

suspension Of the rules, had passed reso-
luton requesting the President to negotiate

ment of an international law by which all
matters in dispute between nations may
be settled by arbitration. without recourse
to war, and the Commi5tee on Foreign
Affairs unanimously reported resolution,
introduced early in the session by H.
Boardman Smith, of New York, which re-
quests the treaty-making power to provide
in all future treaties that in all cases of
International dispute war shall not be de-
clared until after the respective govern.
ments havs exhausted all attempts to Sc
cure peaceful adjustment of the causes
Of difference through arbitration. This
latter resolution. which is not the Joint
resolution, naturally addresses itself to the
Senate and the President as the two ele-
ments in the treaty making power, and is
a solemn declaration on the part of the
House, that such provisions shall be in
corporated in all future resolutions.-NeW

Joseph Longacre, residing along the
turnpike, in Delaware township, about one
mile west of Thompsontown, met with
quite serious accident yesterday morning
week. Early on the morning of that day
he hitched two mules to wagon with hay
ladders on, that stood on floor of his
barn, and then went up on the NOW for
some purpose. On his return to the wagon
he missed step and fell forward against
the upper cross piece that held the front
end of the ladders together. The pins that
held the cross piece broke, and he fell for
ward between the mules, and SO frightened
them that they ran out of the barn, drag
ged him along for some distance. The en-
tanglement that held him was broken
The wagon passed over him, and he got
up and went to the house. Physicians
were summoned. His left shoulder was
fractured, and he was severely hurt other
wise. The mules ran into clump of will
lows, where they became so entangled that
they stopped.

tween two and three O'Clock almost suffoca

of All upstairs window, and was somewha'
injured but able to give the alarm. In the
main store room the goods are almost en-
tirely destroyed. The woodwork of the
store is damaged beyond repairs, and tn.
wonder to all is how the building was saved
from entire destruction. After it got be
tween the floor and ceiling, and between
