MEN AND MEASURES.

We have noticed oflate growing tendency
amonp the people of the different Southern
States to pay more regard to the character OF
the men who become the nominees of politi-
cal conventions, than to the general and fire.
ouently vague terms used in the platform OF
principles iopted and published. While it is
undoubtedly fact, that in the next cleo
ton, the people require the Democratic and
Conservative party to pledge themselves to
thorough and complete measures of reform,
vet this is not all they require; the
nominees must be men whose record evil
dences plainly, not only their honesty and
integrity, but their sincere desire tor speedy
and effectual reform. It is not enough that
men are nominated as candidates of party
whose policy is understood to be that of re-
form, but their personal character and stand
ing must give assurance that it requires no
party platform to bind them to the pursuance
of such course as would lead to a reforming
of the abuses and wrongs inflicted on the
State by its unprincipled rulers. Ia other
words, the honesty and purpose Of the party
must be shown by the personnel OF its candl-
dates, they must be so we'll known as capable,
intelligent and honest citizens that their very
names shall lend credit and even luster to
the party of reform, independent of any reso-
lutions or principles of reform adopted and
promulgated.
The best pledge that candidate can give
for his future course, if elected, is not that
his party have adopted measures of reform
which, they promise, will be inaugurated and
pushed forward Immediately upon their Access
sion to power; but the candidate must be able
to point to his career as citizen, and his char
acter as man, with pride and satisfaction, if he
would convince the people Of his honesty OF
purpose; his best credentials TO the sufferance
Of the people is an unspotted name and past
record whose every page is marked by
deed of practical benefit to the State,
and whose interest in its future
is so entirely dependent upon the successful
working of reform measures that, should
these measures fail, great and almost irrevo-
cable injury would be the result to him. His
great personal concern in the result of the
election is one OF the strongest evidences OF
his eligibility to Office.
This suggestion is one worthy of the con-
sideration of the Democratic leaders of this
State; their candidates must be men whose indi-
vidual fitness, added to the policy of the party,
must command the entire respect and conf
dence of every honest man in the State.

THE RADICAL VOTE IN MISSISSIPPI

By the census of 1870 Mississippi is credited
with to.al population Of 1892, of whom
1872, 500 were white, and 444 POI were negroes,
a colored preponderance of 6l,3O5. In 1878,
at the election of Governor, the total vote of
the State was 127, 2l1, or nearly two-thirteenths
of the total population. The vote was then
unusually full; in fact, it was quite we'll known
that a great many more colored votes were
polled than there were colored voters in the
State. The Republican claims 10000 Radical
majority in Mississippi, but whence it can
come, is not easy to be seen.
On the assumption that all the negroes are
Radicals and all the whites anti Radicals, (as
they are with very few exceptions 400 in
the whole State,) there would be a majority
of negroes about proportional to the excess
of the colored population, this being, as
above stated 6l,305; which would give at the
rate of two voters in thirteen inhabitants
about 9400 negro voters. The negroes are
not all necessarily Radicals. goodly num-
Der of them have discovered that their party
managers have fooled and cheated them.
The day is past when vlgabond whites can
hold all ths offices and make the negroes do
all the voting.

Kinky Hair and Straight in the
Rampant Girls School.

On Wednesday last the BULLETIN published
the facts connected with an attempt made to
analgamate the races in the Rampant Girls
School, situated on that street, near st. Louis
In the account then given to the public it was
stated that the school contained many negro
girls, and some with "short kinky hair and
all the disagreeable attributes of the African"
This language, it seems, was not palatable to
Pinch and some of the other members of the
School Board, and they felt it incumbent
upon them to deny the fact that whatever else
the Rampant Girls School contained, "kinky
heads" were not there to be found.
Yesterday a representative of the BULLETIN
paid visit to this institution for the purpose
of seeing for himself whether there were any
kinks there, after having thoroughly posted
himself upon the relative difference in hair,
from the slight wavy to the pig tail kink.
Entering the principals room we were
courteously received by Miss NJ v Mccarthy,
who pre- sides over some fifty-fve pupils. An
inspection of the scholars showed that '.kink"
was prevalent on all sides. A mulatto girl of
about fourteen, sat next to little miss of
about the same age, evidently enjoying the
boon of civil rights to her hearts content, for
her bold appearance made it conspicuous that
she felt she was trespasslng upon her neigh
Dor Is inclinations and choice.
The room contained some ten or twelve of
mild c0fe-au-lat color, carefully distribute d
and sandwiched between the white girls, &C
cording to the orders of the School Board, no
matter how disagreeable it may have been to
the teachers as we'll as the scholars.
Passing along through the other rooms,
where Mss NJ, Sassinot first assistant, Miss j.
l.. Del Trigo second assis ant. Miss r Mo-
rant second assistant, Miss H. w. Johnson
third assistant Miss a. Coudrain fourth as
sistant, and Miss j. Donnelly fifth assistant
were busy with the duties OF the day, we were
struck with the large number Of colored chill
dren present.
If the School Boar | had tried to secure a
sample collection of diminutive Africans with
which to experiment on mixed schools, they
could hardly have succeeded better in choos-
ing any more distasteful than is here exhibit
ed in the several rooms. How the parents of
those white children attending this school can
permit their little ones to associate daily with
these colored pupils is question difficult to
answer.
Let the mothers of those children visit this
school and see for themselves, and we feel sat-
isfed they would not submit for moment to
the indignity forced upon tnem and their
offspring by the blatant demands OF the d.
rectors.
Our citizens who have never had any occa-
sion to go through these public institutions
have no idea of the effects of the boards
action, and one visit will satisfy them that
the system will surely bring about only dire
effects.

Political orators in the West indulge in
some high-fown asseveratious in regard to
their irmness of principle. The following is
a moderate specimen: Build worm fence
around the winters supply of summer wealth
er. skim the clouds from the sky with tea
spoon, catch a thunder cloud in bladder,
break a hurricane to harness, ground sluice an
earthquake, lasso an avalanche, pin a napkin
on the crater of an active volcano-but never
expect to see ne false to ny principles.

MARX KAIsER.-We are pleased to learn of
the great success which has attended our
young friend, Mr.. Mark Kaiser, in his first
professional adventure. He is now under a
positive engagement with Mr.. Max Strakosch,
who subjected him to critical trial before
engaging him, the result OF which was a
brilliant triumph for Mark. He is
to take the position, in the troupe
formerly held by that eminent
artist Mons. Sauret, and his every
appearance has been characterized by the
press as complete success; the best critics
of some of the largest Northern and Eastern
cities have been lavish in their praises of the
Young violinist, and We notice that in some
criticisms, his is the only name mentioned
with any specially favorable comment His
future career as violinist is now positively
assured, and away from home our New Or
leans boy has won the praise and success
which his own people hesitated to accord him
except in the way of barren compliment.
We shall, however, watch his every step,
and if he achieves that renown We have al
ready predicted for him, it will at least be
matter of pride to know that he is naive of
the Crescent City, so dear to him despite It's
failure to fifty reward his great ability.
