The Commune.

Much has been said and
written about the Commune;
their object is not generally
understood. At a recent Com
mune meeting in St. Louis, the
spokesman said: If all the
men in the community would
2I-2 to 3 hours a day all could
live comfortably. By means of
capital and machinery children
were made to do mems work,
and while half the laborers were
out of work the manufacturers
were still able to supply the
demand for goods. The Social
istic Labor party or Communi-
lists demand as a remedy that
the recourses of life, the land,
etc, be owned by the public
and that the wages system be
abolished. Thus it appears
that the American Commune is
the same as that of Paris. The
object is the destruction of the
whole social system.

a ball room. 1t appears that

n-The ball where the muir
der occurred was given at the
house Of Mrs. Southern's father;
Mrs. Cowart was invited and
danced the hrSt set with Mr.. ,.
notwithstanding she had been
requested not to do so. At the
conclusion of the dance, Mrs.
Southern entered the room
with her fathers pocket knife,
borrowed for the purpose, and
with the fury of a tiger attack
edher rival, literally cutting her
to pieces. There was a beauti-
full woman's corpse on the ball
room floor. Mrs. Southern was
tried committed and sentenced
to be hung. Every woman in
Georgia is interested in the
case and an appeal has been
made to the governor, mean

The Colored Vote.

The Galveston Spectator, a
paper edited and published by
a negro, Richard Nelson, con-
tains leading editorial on
" The Colored Vote. " Itstarts
out by saying: Just now polit-
ical parties are unusually solic-
itious about the welfare of the
colored voter. 7" 1t refers to
the new party, the Labor and
Greenback, which it says is
profuse in its promises to the
colored man. The conclusion
is that the new party being un-
known and untried, should be
let severely alone. The head
and front of the offending. of all
parties SO far appears to be the
failure to put sufficient colored
men on their tickets. The Re-
publican and Democratic par
ties are both old and well
known to the colored voters,
who are advised to stick to one
or the other of them, and let
the Labor Greenback fellows
work out their own solution as
best they may. This advice, we
take it, is perfectly sound and
worthy of the consideration of
thoughtful colored men. In
various portions of the State
good many colored men have,
by vague promises and glitter
ing generalities, been induced
to join the ranks of the Green
hackers whose sole object is
self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, The two
established parties offer an
ample field from which the col
ored voter can choose. They
have long belonged, body and
soul, to the Republicans and
should by this time know ex-
actly what stuff they are made
of and how much reliance can be
placed on their promises. 1t
may be set down as an axiom
that promises like pie-crusts
are made to be broken" at
least such is the principle that
has heretofore actuated the Re
publican party. If we judge
the future by the past a similar
line of conduct may confidently
be expected. The Democratic
party makes no promises to the
colored voters that they do not
intend to fulfill.
