Why. M0M NOW. MAN.

The Ia quota T,b,oie has, on occa-
sions, strcaks of good sense, but of late
it has become almost hopelessly unfair
and exceedingly foolish in its statements
concerning politics. II assures BRO.
Oberly" that Tildcns "barrcl of money"
secured that gcnllcman's nomination at
st. Louis. and that Gov. TIlden employed
advertising agents 10 work for him, but
that neither that "barrel Of money" nor
all the advertising agents in the country
can obtain for him seat in the presiden-
tial chair. The Tribune knows that the
"barrel of money and advertising
agents canards can have no Ell
feet with the people. who need
not be assured of what they have no doubt,
that MIR. Tlden's recommendation was
the result of an overwhelming popular de-
manl. The people, says the Tribune,
"are not blind, neither will they shut
their eyes aud swallow whatever is put
into their mouths True; and 1t Is Just
because of this fact that Mr.. Tilden has
become strong in the popular estimation.
Too long the people have been led by the
Republican leaders along evil paths, III
which has been exposed corruptlons oi
all kinds aud dangers to the Republic
the most appalling. Now, unblinded ana
refusing 10 have their eyes shut any
longer, they are demanding that Gov.
ridden, the practical reformer, shall LEAD
them into new pastures and by the still
waters of honest and economical govern
ment. In vain will the Tcibame endeavor
to persuade itself, that "their voice is for
Hayes and Wheeler" and at the same
time "for practical reform and an
honest administration. These men
are the standard bearers OF the party that
has made practical reform necessary, and
the extravaganza of which has created
the demand TOR an honest and economi-
cal administration of the government.
They cannot break away from their sur
roundngs. In office the corrupting in
fluences that corrupted Grants admins
tration would corrupt them. This fact
the people appreciate. They know that
a corrupt party cannot reform itself; and
therefore they will wisely put out the
Republicans, with their manifold crimes OF
omission and commission, and put in the
Democrats, who. led by Tilden, will
have every incentive to administer the
government with honesty and economy.
The Radical party has. run its course.
Its days are about numbered. The star
of the Democracy is in the ascendant,
and Tildon is the coming man. or else
all signs are false.

SCOTS GRIEVANCE

Mr.. William Il. Scott. the colored Sa-
loon keeper and politician, has concluded
10 use the civil rights act TO squeeze"
the Cairo and Nincennes railroad COM
pany. and Mr.. Roswell Miller, one Of the
prominent and most popular Off
GERS of that road. He com
plains that, Oh last Decoration
day, at Mound City. he and
his wife were excluded from passenger
car OF the company by one of its em-
ployes. who acted by and with the ad
vice and consent Of MIR. Miller for the
reason that he and his wife We're ne
sivrs.
Speaking with some knowledge of the
facts in the case, we do not hesitate to say
that there is nothing in SCOTS COM
plant. The Cairo and Vincennes rail-
road company, like many other rail-
road companies of the country,
long before the passage of the civil rights
bill, permitted colored persons to ride in
its first-class cars. This it did from the
first day o; its compilations; and it will
not do now for Scott to say that, on Dec
Grafton day, the company, ter the first
time, departed from thi. rule, and made
him the victim Of the exception.
The fact is, the car that Scott was re-
fused entrance to was a car set apart for
ladies, and gentlemen accompanied by
ladies. Scott's wife, a colored lady, and
other colored ladies, were in the car when
the Scott-row occurred. Unaccompanied
by lady, he attempted TO go in. and was
| told to not do so, as white men, unac-
companied by ladies, had been told to not
do before Scott made his attempt to force
an entrance. The result was a row
The result of the row was, that Scott ar
rived in Cairo glad that he was the owner
OF a whole head.
The attempt to drag Mr.. Miller beior,
the public as cruel denyer to black mel
OF their rights, will not do. He has been
from his youth up, a New England adj
vocate OF human rights. Out OF his eye
have flown whole oceans of tears owe
the wrongs Of the down-troddcn African

without a patriotic emotion has he behel
