THE POLICY of the democrats towards the
liberals is not calculated to draw to them
much strength from the latter political ele-
ment. In the House, Mr.. Banks, who was
interested in only one employee, A. q. Broad
street, did not carry the necessary weight To
have him retained. Yesterday he was
bounced and now the distinguished Mas
sachusetts statesman can reflect upon the
ingratitude OF political parties.

vicious and abandoned; that during the past
ear, according TO the police returns, 40 dead

been arrested. that 900 professional beggars
are rearing their children to vice and crime,

MANY of our citizens are now somewhat
troubled in mind, about the proposed change
Of the curbstone market from King street
to Fourth. That the latter street has many
over the former for such q use,
We think most of our readers will acknowl-
edge. Among the reasons, may be mentioned
its width, which is 20 much more than that
of King street, there would Of course be less
crowding, less likelihood Of there being any
thing like the unpleasantness resulting from
tho decomposition of refuse matter, as there
ID great deal better chance for all inodo-
rous exhalations to escape. Another reason
WHY Fourth street would answer equally as
we'll, If not better than King, is this; 1t
will put the market in better position for
the majority Of the people. Now we will
suppose the curbstone market on Fourth
street, extending fromPoplar west to oTatnall,
II is obvious to ell that the people would e.
cape the labor Of ascending steep hill with
their produce after 1t 10 purchased a. they
now do. We're this this the case 1t would
also be in as equally an advantageous posi-.
ton for the people, both in the northern
and southern portions of our city.

OUR CENTENNIAL BUILDING.

In The HERALD this morning we Pup-
lish the plans Of the building that it is pro-
posed by the Firemen of this city to erect
on the Centennial grounds. If the plans
are carried out it will be an accomplish
ment of which our people will have cause
to feel proud. The work has proven one
Of serious undertaking, and the fremen
have not received an encouragement COM
mensurate with their labors, and the pa
triotic motives which have inspired them,
but now they have shown that they are
thoroughly in earnest, it is to be hoped
that aid from our citizens will be more

nearer maturity than it is now. 1t there

sharers in the glory Of noble epoch in
the nations history that it is intended te
celebrate, to unite with them in the work
The meetings in this cause should be at
tended numerously, and the wealthy ant
poorer classes alike divide whatever honor
may attach to bringing the movement to I
full fruition of its splendid purposes.
The progress that has been nude thu

The appropriation Of 81, 500, 900 to the
Centennial, by Congress, is regarded as
the most liberal and useful contribution yet
received, as it makes no provision as to now
the funds shall be used, but is for the mis-
cellaneous uses of the exhibition, and II
therefore thoroughly available. The Phila-
delphia Record says:-"Our State Leglsla-
ture has given 81 ,OeO, ,oo0, but it was entirely
restricted in its use; our councils have given
in all about 81 500, 900, but the greater part
of this also has been limited in its applica-
ton. The gift of Congress is entirely FREQ
to be used as the managers may see 1T, and
can be distributed to a dozen different OBJ
jects. If to this we add what the govern
ment has given for specific buildings, etc..
we tlnd its total contributions to the exposi,
ton thus far upwards of $4,000, 900; and
hence it is by far the largest single contri,
butor, as it ought to be.

BKUCE'S SPEECH.

The speech Of Branch X. Bruce, COL
ored senator from Mississippi. was an effort
we'll calculated to create the dismay among
the members of his own party that 1t did.
It was not an outburst Of passion, caused
BY personal or individual injury, but it
was an appeal for his race, who as suf-
fragists have right to demand better
treatment from those, to whom they have
discovered at the eleventh hour, that they
sold themselves. The administration
has overlun the South with class Of

CARPET basge.s, who thrive hy despotins
Is ipstisutioas over which thy ha1s con-
troll. By their system Of peculation, and
the dehasemeut of those who are ranked a.
their supporters, the colored people Of ths
soath have discovered with indignation
how badly they have been dupsd.
Fred. Dosglass said in speech in
Washington, over year ago, that tney
needed another Moses to lead them, ana
expressed his disgust for the administra-
ton with as much resentment as did Sena-
tor Bruce in his recent speech which has
opened the eyes of the Republican leaders,
and revealed them as they have proven
themselves to be, the political masters Of
the colored man.
If Bruce had had any ulterior object for
this speech it would have been barren Of
effect, but as it comes from one who speaks
for an injured people, it has the feeling
and expression of a gigantic effort 1t
speaks for those who have been bought and
sold politically, rs absolutely by these
masters, as they were by the slave helder.
These political masters have been the
means Of establishing the color ne,which
has created bitter antagonism and culmi-
mated in hostile feuds between whites and
blacks. Destroyed whatever Of frisndll-
ness existed between the two races, and DE-
layed prosperity for years.
When these things are considered, Is II
any wonder that the colored man should
utter word of indignation through a
proper representative for the manner in
which he has been outraged, both socially
and politically, that he should try to re-
trieve the respect he has lost BY the In
fringements Of fcapet-baggers and admins

fealty to cause that has applied the knit

that he should be expected to remain will
them, when he sees the injury that hs
been done him is more than unreasonabl
to expect
The speech of Senator Bruce may b
condemned by those who are studying tn
same intriguing snares for him an
his people as those who have alread
used him, but with those who are rations
in politics, and free from the taint Of MOI
tonism, and the blatant thunder Of Blaine
it will excite praise and sympathy.
