INTIMIDATION,

On Monday. Jan. 18th, there was an
immense Indignation meetingin New ork,
at which the conduct of Grants admins
tration towards Louisiana was denounced
in strong. vigorous and dignifed words, by
William Cullen Bryant.
On Tuesday, Jan'y l2th, Mr.. Grants
administration withdrew the government
advertising from Mr.. Bryant's paper, the
New York Evening Post, and gave it to g
thick and thin indorser of Boss Grant and
Bandit Sheridan, the New York CONNER
cial AdUertiser.
And yet Boss Grant talks about intimi-
dation!
1t is significant symptom of the decay
into which the Republican party is falling
that not single public man holding ofic'
under the administration or voting in con
gress with the administration on question
of general policy excepting, we believe, Mr.
Willard. of Vermont, has yet ventured t
speak out those sentiments of honest in
| dignatlOn at the violation or all the primer
pies Of the public law of free country
just perpetrated in Louisiana. which indie
pendent Republicans in private life ar
everywhere expressing. And the with
drawal of government advertising patron
age from Mr. Bryant is intended to intin
idate every L. S. Office holder and employe
and either put paddock on his mouth Q
compel him to support the atrocious act
of Boss Grant and Bandit Sheridan. Their
was time when it was possible for ma
to be an honest man, and gentleman,
have a will of his own and to express it i
his own way, and yet to be member c

Death Of Mrs. r. z, Cable.

The sorrow of the people of this city
and vicinity was universal, to day. for the
death of Mrs r. r Cable, one of the most
lovely women our people have ever known.
She died of nervous rheumatism, at O.,
clock this morning, in the presence Of her
family and friends She had been suf-
ferer for some months, but was conscious
to nearly her last moments; was calm, re-
signed, and as lovely ard gentle in her last
hours as at any moment of her most ex
emplary life.
Mrs. Cables maiden name was Josephine
Stickney. She was a daughter of Ben
Stickney, Esq, of St. Louis, and was born
in that city on the Both of July, 1910. Her
mothers name was Sarah j. Powars,
daughter of the late John G.. Powars, of
this city, and it was here that Josephine,
with her grandparents, after ter mother
death, passed nearly all her life, and thus
became so endeared to all who knew her.
She was married to MIR. Gable on the 10th
of February, 1865, and leaves four child
rem, two boys and two girls, the oldest of
which is eight years of age. She united
with the Presbyterian church last winter.
Her youth, her extraordinary lovelness
OF character, and her sweet little children
combine to render her death a crushing
blow to her husband and friends, who have
the fearful sympathy of hundreds who
knew and admired her.
The funeral will be at IL A, NJ. Sunday,
from Mr.. Cables residence and the re.
mains will be buried in Chippiannock.

Colored Children in Schools,

Two or three impracticable old bourbons
III our legislature are trying to get law
passed forbidding the admission of colored
childreninto the public schools. We trust
that the legislature will pass no such law.
What ought to be done is this: Where
there are enough colored children in a dis
trict or reasonably small territory for a
separate school, then they should not be
admitted to seats with the white children,
but separate school should be provided.
Where there are not enough colored child
rem to warrant separate school, then they
should be admitted to schools with the
white children. Three or four, or half a
dozen colored boys and girls can be endur'
ed, but when classes are one half or more
of blacks, it would spoil the school. Gen
orally, in this state, outside of few large
towns, no notice would be taken of the
presence of colored children, the number
would be SO few. But in some of the large
towns in the North, and everywhere
throughout the South, the attempt to force
colored children into the white schools will
be destructive of the whole public school
system, 1@@

A Good Move.

Senator Bernard Arntzen, Dem from
Adams county, introduced in our iegisla-
ture, joint resolution to adjourn SINE die
on the 10th Of February and the senate
adopted it by vote of 3S 20 2. We trust
that the house win concur.
About all the legislation needed is to re-
neal the obnoxious laws passed by Repub-
lican legislatures.
The first act that should be repealed is
the registry law, 1t is an enormous ex
pense to the tax payers, and no sort O.
protection against illegal voting. In fact
illegal voting is easier under that law thar
it was before the law was adopted. /
should be repealed.
And the next act that should be re
pealed is the onerous and odious temper
ance lava law which subjects ever

does no good whatever. The clause MAX

The best reform this legislature can gi'
the people is to repeal the vicious Repu

a Personal Party.

The Republican party has become the
personal appanage of Grant, and the
voters must now decide for themselves
where they shall CO. 1t rests with them
now to choose whether they will sacrifice
themselves to false and absurd idea Of
partisan fealty, which has already degen-
Grated into mere personal subservience, or
whether they will listen to the voice of
their fellow citizens, with whom their flu
ture lives are to be passed, urging them
with disinterestcd sincerity to bear testi-
mony at once against the monstrous wrong
Grant has perpetrated in Louisiana.
