SOME MISTAKES OLE DOUG
LASS.


Fred Douglass is a very smart man,
and he has in his time done much tell
ing work in behalf of the colored race.
But at the expense of saying some
things which are positively unkind to
the poor suffering colored people of the
south, he has endeavored to make him
self attractive to audiences and to be
quoted the country over. For instance:
when he advises the colored people to
stay in their old homes and slight it
out !" he is giving advice which he
would not follow himself. Surely he is
old enough to known what lighting it
out" means. He has certainly not
been blind to the facts of the past four
teen years, during which the colored
people of the south were ''hghting it
out" He must be aware of the thous-
ands of graves all over the south that
should each bear this most appropriate
epitaph: SHE died fighting it out"
And yet Fred would have more graves
and more epitaphs. Common sense
teaches all men that if they cannot pre-
vent prosecutions they should leave
their prosecutors. Suppose Mr.. Doug
lass was a poor laborer working with
four or five white men who were cease
lessly reviling and abusing him, and
these practices were not prohibited by
the employer: Womb Mr.. Douglass
consider the point will taken to be ad-
vised to stay and slight it out?" Not
at all likely. He would no doubt for
sake the place and seek for a peaceful
pursuit among peaceful men. That is
what the blacks of the south are doing
to-day, which calls anything but friend
ly words from the man who should be
foremost in encouraging escape from
persecution and death.
Mr.. Douglass goes to the extent of
denying contemporaneous history.
Says he: Negroes have no business
in the north. 1t is too cold. There is
too much snow. A negro in a snow
bank doesn't look right. The colors
won't blend" Outside of the execra-
BILE witticism, the point is evidently
that the negro cannot thrive in the
north ''mid snow and ice.n The
facts are that before the war thousands
OF escaped slaves were run off into
Canada via the ''underg round rail-
way" and they Jared well. Snow
did not decimate their number.
During the war and afterwards, thous-
ands OF negroes focked to the northern
states. They live to-day, and are
multiplying and replenishing the

TIE case of Col. Dwight.

THE cas- of Col. Dwight, of Bing-
hampton, N. Y, is the most remarka-
BILE in the history of life insurance. 1t
will be remembered the colonel became
bankrupt, insured his life for nearly
$3.50 1000, premiums to be paid quarter
ly. Before the second quarters pay
ments were due, the colonel died. At
once the life insurance companies en-
gagged counsel and physicians to resist
payment of the policies on the ground
Of suicide. A coroner's jury sat upon
the case, and the verdict was death
from malarial poisoning contracted in
the wilds of northern Pennsyl-
vania. Still the insurance COM
panies, with but a single exception,
refused payment on the policies held by
the colonel in life. They appealed to
the court and obtained an order for the
exhumation Of the body and another
corners inquest, the jury to be compos-
ed of six physicians. The finding of
this jury was the.same as that of the
first. This, then, effectually disposes
of all charges of death from suicidal or
homicidal causes. What the conspir,
acy Of twenty companies will do now
in the case remains toIbe. seen. But
they have certainly hurt their business
to an alarming degree, which serves
them right.

Now If some kind British soldier
would hold up a fresh Zulu for Prince

she will become an old maid. She is

FRANCE is the best friend Of Greece

FRANCE is the best friend Of Greece
in Europe. England once occupied
this position but after Beaconsfleld's
omission in the Berlin congress, she
dropped from the place. France has
long labored earnestly to promote the
interests of Greece and has about sue
ceeded in having the powers agree to
hold a conference to settle her troubles.
England alone objected to the
conference, which leads one to
remark that there is a vast difference
between the England Of to-day, ana
that of Byron's time.

AUSTRIAN troops stationed in Bos-

with a spring attack of fanatical Mos
lens. As a preventive the Sultan has
declared 'oficially," that any Turk
who prepares for war with the Aus

head. This would not inconvenience a
Turk much, if he could only see. A
Turk would have no use a head if his
eyes were placed in his breast.

PERKINS RAILROAD RECoRD.-The
only charge that has been attempted to
be brought against George G. Perkins is
that be has endorsed and now believes in
railroad monopoly, if not directly, indi-
rectly chat he did, as Senator from
Butte and Sutter counties, vote for and
support railroad monopoly bills. One Of
the Blk organ editors, Sam oeabaugh,
now falsifyihg Perkins, was at the time
above referred to controlling editor Of the
Sacramento Uuon, and penned the fol-
lowing truthful language. Out Of your
own mouth shall you be condemned. -
Further comment is unnecessary
We may put to the account of good
legislation the defeat Of many bad sprcia
laws for personal speculation and in this
Ine. more particularly, the defeat OF the
two infamous bill. to bankrupt seven or
eight of the southern counties, il the in
terests OF an oYerbearing, corrupt and
cortuptng railway cOrpnTatiOn, whose
principals, and agents hung around the
Senate and Assembly NIL through the
session MS barnncles to the keel Of ship,
and whose aud3Clty 10 rGbuke could
shame. Bu. it is only the truth OF hsto
ry to add that tho defeat Of these bills Is
10 be credited 10 the Governor, supported
by ar honorable minOIity ~ the Senate,
whom no offers could seduce nor no
threats intimdate. and whose judgments
could not be mudded by the most artfu
sopbistues. Some Of these Senators bold
oyer the terms Of others expired with
the session. All OF them merit that pops
uar approval and confidence due to in
trepid honesty and the faithful perform
ance Of duty in the face Of severe temptn'

There is treachery in the Democratic camp
there. Some one in the folding and en-

Congressional Committee has been sur
replitiously putting up Republican, speech
os for circulation through the mails un
der Democratic franks in Ohio. THIS
fact was lately discovered by accident,
and il is said that an examination of
packages already prepared for ihe mails
disclosed large number Of very "sta-
wart" Republican speeches, all bearing
upon their envelopes ;he. frank Of General
Ewing, and ready to be sent to Ohio
voters. They were ordered to be burned
but no one knows how many have already
been sent out in this way.

THE wonderful potency of figures =,
says the San Jose Mercury, has just
received fresh illustration. The nom
ination of DR.. Glenn for Governor, by
the II. b. Convention, brought out the
statement that he paid $l3, 600 u year
for taxes, and it was mrde with great
flourish, as though if highly cfedltabe
to him. The statement was II mostun.
fortunate one, as it proved. The re-
porters nt once began to make cacula-
tions. DR.. Glenn conlesses to the own
ership Of 55 600 acres of land, which is
worth at least $50 an acre: This would
make the whole, with improvements,
worth S2,000,000 which, at II fair as.
sessment would make the taxes about
$1,000. SO that Dr.. Glenn, the nomi-
nee Of n party which makes taxation
the key note of its creed, pays about
one fourth the amount he ought to pay
and the other three fourihs of course,
have to be made up by his poorer fell
lOW-cltizens.

GEORGE G. GoRHAM "put his foot INTO
II" sadly at Chico, the other night, when
he stated that J S. Cone, the Republican
candidate for Railroad Com missioner, had
beer favored by the railroad company with
n reduction o. S. per ton from the usual
rates on wool shipped by him from Te>
lama county. A charge of this kind,
made by a man Of Gorham's prominence
IN public life, against candidate for so
important an Office as Railroad Commits
sinner. naturoly demanded investigation.
First, Mr.. Cone, the libelled gentleman
denied it, and then uperintendent Towne
denied it. Then MAJ. Biggs, who placed
the fatal boomerang in Gorbam's hands,
was applied To for information on the sub
ject. He replied tina: II. G. Wilson had
so stated in Sacramento. Then Mr.. Will
son was telegraphed for an explanation.
He replied that She assertion he made to
Biggs was that man named Weiton had
raid that be had got wool shipped for S14
per ton that he {Wison) also informed
n Chronicle reporter thereof that the
latter interviewed Weton in relation
thereto, and aferward told him (Wilson)
that, while Welton did not admit that he
had been favored with reduced rates of
freight, his manner was such as 10 satisfy
him that such had been the case So far
