a Bad Movement.

Cincinnati Enquirer: "The recent colored
convention at Richmond, Virginia, decided
that the race issue should be the absorbing
one, SO far as they are codcerned, in that
State. 1t was declared that the State should
be organized on the race issue, and that, to
aid in its triumph, the colored people must
form into secret organizations. That was the
plan adopted by the colored people of the
south during what Is known as the recon-
struction period. Secret organizations were
started by carpetbaggers, into which nearly
every colored man was drawn. Those secret
colored organizations begat counter secret or
CARNATIONS among the whites. So we heard
not infrequently of white leaguers and ku
klux. We hope that will not be repeated In
Virginia, though secret colored organizations
naturally produce them. If such counter
organizations are formed, the result will
be as before; the colored people will get
the worst of it. OF course, the colored peo-
pie are urged to form these secret or
CARNATIONS by outside white influences. It
was so before. What is to be gained by these
secret organizations to aid the race issue we
cannot see. No matter what may be the OBJ
ject, the race issue csn have but one result, if
pushed and persevered In. 1t will be worse
for the colored people than the whites,
though IN fortunate for both"

Couplings Confession.

Conkling declared recently that his State,
the great State of New York, which he claims
to be a thoroughly Republican commonwealth,
cannot possibly haveian honest and peaceful
election without the presence of United
States troops at the polls. He stated that
the city of New York was controlled by
'thugs, shoulder hitters and repeaters, and
all the carriers of slung- shots, dirks and
blud geons." If that is true, the Republican
party is responsible for it, for it is Historical
fact that the last three or four elections in
that city have been run by Federal Supervisor
Davenport, who had under hum horde of
thugs, shoulder-hitters, ETC., IN the. pay of
in the interest of Roscoe Conkling's party.
IL was an unfortunate remark for Conkling
to make that State with a splendid home
army of one hundred thousand militia can
not keep ORDER" but must have the Federal
army to do 80.

Chicago Tribune: "a few young girls be-
longing to a West Side church have set about
noble missionary work to increase the at
tendance on their beloved pastors ministra-
tions. They go out just before the evening
service hour. and lure young men to follow
them, pilot their victims in by harmless
looking side door, and give them in custody
of two venerable deacons as sinners deslrous
of turning from the error of their ways, aud
before those young men have recovered from
their shock OF surprise and disappointment
they find themselves slowed away in front
seats between trustworthy members, and
being prayed and preached at By the oficiat-
ing Clergyman In a manner which for direct
ness discounts that of Nathan"

Another Explanation OF the Grant Ex-
CurHiOH.

Washington telegram 10 the Chicago Tri-
bune: IAN explanation of the projected excur-
sion to California to welcome Grant will APP
pear tomorrow, called out by unfriendly
criticisms which have been widely printed. 1t
originated with ]. B. M'Mullen & Brother, of
Chicago. They have obtained railroad
terms at a little over half rates, and will fur
nish particulars; and this, it is claimed is all
there is in it. The charges that the affair is
chiefly speculation arose, Horace Porter
says, simply from the fact that the Pullman
car company, with which he is connected, Is
to furnish about forty additional cars, and
run them with others on the Pacific road
twice if the general draws crowd enough.
The calculation of the managers is that about
four thousand people will go over to meet

AT no time in the 'histo-
Try of medicine has an ar
ticle appeared which has
met with greater approx
al and success than Ben
sons Capcine Plaster.
Why they are preferred
to all other porous plas-
ters, is owing to their i'm
proved composition; they
act instantaneously, cure
speedily and etfectually.
Physicians and the gen.
eral public who ackowl-
ledge the great benefits de-
lrived from the use of the
ordinary porous plaster,
however, maintain that
their action is not suffi-
GENTLY prompt, requiring
time, patience and con-
tinuous wear to effect a
lcure; Benson's Capcine
Plaster overcomes this
difficulty by Accomplish
ling in a few hours that
(which it takes any other
plaster as many days.
Although a recent in
vention, Benson's Cap
cine Porous Plaster has
been thoroughly tested by
physicians, and have been
pronounced the most
thoroughly efficacious
lplaster ever devised.
Its marvellous influence
over the circulation, and
general effect ON the sys-
tenn is almost incredible;
from the moment of its
application to the affected
part, it operates with as
ltonishing yigor, brings re-
lief and cures more effect
ually than any known
Plaster, Liniment or Com
pound.
When you desire
prompt relief, ask your
Druggist for Benson's
lCapcine Plaster. Avoid
worthless plasters having
a similar sounding name.
Each genuine plaster has
the word Capcine spelled

The Democrats haven't much to say about
the Army Bill but boast loudly of what they
will do should the Legislative Bill be vetoed.
Very likely they will make things lively
when that ardently-wished-for time comes.
Their talk suggests the old story of the
Frenchman. The story has been told many
times, but has an especial propriety now:
"Ah, Monsieur de c." said a gentle
man to a French friend, ''Sorry to hear
you've lost your wife" ''Oui, Sare," re-
piled the Frenchman. "Ah, re misfortune
horreeble; my poor wife," 81 attended the
funeral at the church," continued the gen
tleman; "you seemed to be taking on terri
bly, about it, 1 noticed" E'Ze church." ex-
claimed the Frenchman, excitedly. 'Ze
church! All, my friend, zat was nossing.

THE ''true inwardness'' of the South finds
voice in country papers like the Okolona
Southern States and the Meriden Mercury.
They speak right out in meeting and shout
what their neighbors are whispering. The
following from the Mercury may be interest
ing as showing genuine Southern sentiment:
The mysterious and certain death of the ne
gro "Fud'' near the city, the ringing peal of
many pistols in the night time, indicating num-
bers engaged, revive thoughts of the Ku-Klux
Klan. That bloody organization which seemed
to rise up out of the ground as weird spirits
summoned by the wall of imperiled civilization
mingled with the soft muttered prayer of
Southern white women, in those moments
when the malignant ministers of hellish re-
construction seemed willing and ready to give
them over to the direst fate, is thought to have
disbanded 1t was God given and God sent,
and God blessed its works. 1t came to meet
the internal spirit of loyal leaguesm in the
fulness of time and not too late, and to drive it
terror-stricken from the land. 1t came in the
night time and in secret, as only it could come.
The situation, not their inclinations made
them night-riders. They would have loved to
have done their work in the broad daylight,
but that was to imperil the success of their no
BILE cause. Southern men who have joined in
the abuse of the Klan never had q conception
of the dangers of the precipice upon which
they stood, and from which they were rescued
by many a weary night ride of the devoted
Klan, daring prison walls, death, hell and the
devil.
