THE CoLoRED PEoPLE-Mr. Caesar G. An
toine. the colOred Lieutenant-Governor of
Louisiana, is statesman after the Adminis-
trations own heart He told reporter Of the
Galveston Neacs recently that the colored peo-
pie of Louisiana, including, of course, himself,
and of the whole South, would be content for
Gen. Grant to have six terms If he wanted
them, though he was afraid the North was
mot inclined "to look at the matter in that
light
Lieut. Gov Cesar Cassins Antoine and his
friends will ascertain before they are much
older that there are some 0eiief things besides
the third-term business that the North does
NOT see in that light" Hhey may rest as
sured that, whether Republican or Demo-
cratic President is elected next year, their
programme will he materially altered. Here
tofare the eol0red vnters of the South have
done as they pleased, conidiug in the Federal
Administration to sustain and defend them.
Hereafter they viii please to do right, or rake
the consequences The country Is thoroughly
tired Ut the l,Olstering process, and deter
mined that the enfranchised African shall
he,eeferth stand fairly and sqnarely upon
his own legs, the same as other citizens, Or
else step down and ont. This sort of wind
blows strongly from the North just now. and
those most directly interested may take due
notice thereof and govern themselves Accord

How OUR PEOPLE ARE TAxED.-We have
frequently spoken of the iniquitous burdens
of the Government under which We live.
The fourth of July orators spread the eagle
and talk Of free country and happy Ameri.
cans when the truth is we have to-day the
worst tax-ridden people i'll the world when we
aggregate our National, State, County, City,
Corporation and Railroad taxes-far worse
than in England, France or Germany. The
professional politicians" fatten and rule, the
people work, pay and suffer. Our tariff duties
are purposely made obscure, so the people will
not know how they are taxed. There are dn-
ties advalorum, and duties specific, duties by
the square rod and square inUh frequently
combined together ON the same article. A gem
tleman previously engaged in commerce, who
understands the subject, has taken trouble to
compute for the Cincinnati Enquirer what the
duties are on few leading articles. Look at
the list:

Grange Hte1als.

recent decision of the Pope makes it pro-
per for Roman CathoIics to join the Grange
organization if they fud nothing in the order
which is Inconsistent with their duty to the
church" Many thousand Catholic farmers
have been desirons of becoming Changers, but
have been deferred by the stringent ruling Of
the church, which forbids the members to as
sociate themselves with secret orders. The
Pope's decision is quite concession, as the
Grange is secret society Aud again it is a
conquest of the Church, IN measure, as Civ
ing her another basis of ecclesiastical influence.
1t will doubtless be OF immense advantage to
the Grange organization in an accession of
strength and influence.

POSTAL DEFIcIENCIEs.-The Senate sub.
committee on Post. Offices and Post. Roads
have been at work ON the subject of postal
deficiencies and the cause thereof, and as a
matter Of interest in connection Herewith
the following figures are given. States which
report an excess of receipts over expendi.
lures: New Hampshire, $41 ,43949 Massa-
chusetts, S616, 1854; Rhode Island, SILL
s6579; Connecticut, S199,81133; New
York, S1,l21 ,468.9S; New Jersey, Sat-.
57305; Pennsylvania, S431, 620.62. ALI the
rest OF the States show that their eXpeudi-
lures arein excess of their receipts. Texas
and California show the largest deficiencies,
they being as follows: Texas, 1924, 1851 Oh ;
California, S504,17S.76. Next come on the
losing side-Missouri, Utah, New Mexico,
Illinois, Nebraska, Ohio, Kansas, and Min
nesota-all of which run over s250,0OO, and
most OF them 100000. The District shows
a deficiency of S76.03962. Total def.
ciences, S7,5O6S45 SO. Total in excess,
81, $50, 557 80. From the exhibit it will be
seen that in the New England States, where
there is dense population, the postal ser.
vice more than pays for itself; whereas Ia
the other States, most of which are sparsely
settled, the Post. Office Department is minus.
