NEGRO DISFRANCMIsEMENT.
The Meaning of tho Proposed National
Convention of Colored hvu.

Some Of the leaders Of the Republican
party are of opinion that the outrage
business cannot be made telling issue
in the next Presidential campaign. 1t
is mere matter Of sentiment, they say,
and does not come home to the people as
practical issues always do They admit
that if the white people arc to control
the Southern States, they must also, to
very large degree, control the negro vote.
The votes of the ignorant and dependent
classes are always more or less controlled
by the wealthy and intelligent portion of
the population. Railroad corporations
can and do dictate to their employees.
So ,io mill owners in Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts. But there j. practical
question growing out Of the Southern
outrages, says these men, which will
claim the attention of the Northern pub
lie mind, and that is the question Of rep
rcsentation. The South has twenty rep
resentatives based on negro votes. If
these votes are TO count for nothing, save
to add representation to the South, then
the North will demand that something
be done. The North pays the great pro-
portion Of taxes, and it will not have its
money voted away to its disadvantage by
these twenty additional representatives,
which in effect give the South the control
OF the government.
The reply to this by Southern men is (:
"You amended the constitution, and i'm
posed negro suffrage upon US, and we
have suffered immeasnrable evils there
by. Now that the advantage is to be
reapcd by us, you want to undo what
you have done. We had no choice in
the matter, but had to take very large
proportion of evil to get little good, and
we mean to hold on to that little"
All the indications now point to an
agitation at no late day ics the disfran-
chisement of the negro, and the Repub-
licans will deliberately propose it. A
vc.y prominent Rerr..:bb!:ca:: Rerr..:bb!:ca:: said &c TIi5
the other day, "If we could only get rid
Of this negro question we could whip the
Democrats every time" He meant thai
the additional electoral votes which the
South gets upon its increased represents
tion makes the Presidential fight doubt
full. Get rid of this increase of the cleo
toral vote which the South secures
through its negro vote, and the Republ
can party viii be strong enough to wiz
without q very hard fight. The proposed
negro national convention is step il
this direction. 1t is political move il
the direction of the disfranchsement o

THE MONKEY AND WHIsKY.-Dr.
Guthrie tells the following anecdote of n
monkey:
"Jack," rs he was called. seeing his
master and some of his friends drinking,
with the initiative faculty for which all
monkeys are remarkable, got hold Of a
glass halt:full of whisky and drank it off.
Of course it flew to his head. and very
soon Jack" WAS drunk. Next day,
when they wished for repetition of the
performance, he was no where to be seen.
AT last he was found, curled up in n
corner of his box. At his masters call
he reluctantly came out, but one hand
applied 10 his head significd very plainly
that he was ill-that Jack" had got a
headache. So they left him for few
days to recover. Then, supposing him
to bc we'll again, they called him to Join
them in another jovial party, expecting
to have "rare fun" with him. But he
eyed the glasses with evident dread, and
when his master tried to induce him to
drink he was upon the house. top in n
moment. They called him to come
down, but he refused. His master shook
a whip at him, but it had no effect. A
gun was then pointed at him; he got be-
hind stack Of chimneys. At length, in
fear of being dragged from his refuge, he
actually descended the chimney, riskine

Public Education.

The State should interfere rs little ms
possible with private affairs. The only
interference that is ut all justi6ablc is
i'll cases where the public good requires
1t, and the interests of the people at large
can thereby be promoted. We think il
clearly to be the duty Of the State 10 pro-
vide for the free education of its chill
drep. If the children thus educated at
the public expense were the only persons
benefited, it would be different. In that
case it would be discriminating in favor
of part against the whole. But pub.
lie education is public benefit The
rich as well AS the poor reap its advantages.
1t is the means of raising up q better
class of citizens, and consequently it
tends to diminish crimes. 1t makes life
and property more secure. We believe
il to be true economy in the long run !;
that the money it takes 10 educate those
who are unable to pay for their own
education is far less than would be re-
CURED to try, convict and imprson or
hang them if allowed to grow up in igno-
rance of all moral, legal and political
obligation. Schools are less expensive
than jails and penitentiaries, and the
State has to choose between them. We
do not mean to say that all the educated
are free from crime, nor that all the un-
educated are criminals; but it has been
the universal experience of all nations
that in proportion rs the people are ed.
ucated crimes tr, diminished. by public
education we mean common schoo!

Among them are many diamonds in the

sun which irradiated the visions simply
blinded the poor fellow.
Well, we'll. His heaven did not last
long. In the evening there was a ring
at the bell. and presently there was adj
mitted fne-looking young man whom
the family seemed delighted to welcome.
He understood in minute the cause.
"Hep, DOCTOR" cried Mr.. Lessant,
"this is our Fred--Mr. Bodie." Then in
whisper to Crague, "He's going to marry
Gertie in January, but we keep it to our
selves for the present. He's splendid
fellow, and rich"
Poor Crague! He wis positively sick
for minute, as these words came into
his ear. He saw the air-clstle he had
been all the afternoon building dissolve
in second, and not a sign of its ruin
left. Out went, also, the sunshine and
his dreams of love. Of all the events of
the day the only substantial thing left
was his dinner. He looked at Bodie COO
ing to Gertie; at Mr.. and Mrs Lessant
half doing; then, with sigh and bit
ter feeling in his heart against the insta-
bility of his work, he said good-by, and
was comeback to the street---to the
routine Of watching the shop windows
to the dolesome area he called his room.
His little play, which he began so roman
tically and prettily, was ended.
All this happened years ago. DR..
Crague married rich woman ten years
his senior, and is widower with two
children. Miss Lessant married Bodie,
and is a stout woman, weighing at least
one hundred and eighty pounds, and with
a liking for rare beef and beer. Her black
hair is silver-Hned, but her laugh thrills
with ringing melodies ethose who hear it.
She is a practical, motherly woman, and
the doctor is disappointed man; yet he
never sees her (and they meet often) but
that his memory goes back to that dinner
and the cause which gave it to him, and
he feels the smart OF the unhealed wounds
in his heart.
