ASSERTING THEIR RIGHTS.

There are n great many colored citi-
zens in st. Louis, Missouri 1t is
claimed that they hold the balance of
power, and without their votes 10 Re-
publican could expect to be elected.
They are nearly all Republicans, and
generally vote that ticEet-as- Demo
Gratis are said to take their whisky
straight. The nominating conventions
ignore their claims to a share of the
spoils, and never give them Office.
They are protesting against the slight,
and. are holding meetings to. express
their sentiments. At one of these
meetings recently held and largely at
tended, they resolved to. vote the Re-
publican ticket no longer, unless they
receive share OF, theeotices liz proper
ton to their voting strength. This res,
olutioa makes it imperative~on the Re-
publlcans to nominate fair proportion
Of colored men for office if they desire
to- succeed at the polls. Throughout
the whole North not colored man has
been elected member of Legislative
boly, while in the Democratic States
of the South representatives Of the
colored race haze been frequently
elected to the Legislature.

SCORING REARNEY.

The San Francisco Examiner ought

says of the little demagogue's visit to
the springs and subsequent attempt to
see Grant:
did he go to soften his dainty hands
in the refining waters of sulphurous
quality; or to lave his tender skin in
the soothing and softening baths III
which fairest forms of beauty delight to
sport? Or, was his powerful intellect
so tiredfrom the proaigeous FRAMEWORK
he had performed in memorizing the
stuff his prompters prepared for him to
blather out at sand-lot meetings and
about the country during the campaign,
that be must needs give it rest at the
springs: The 'curled darling whose
hair is like bristles should be particu-
larly watehful lest his frail condition
might unfit him to return to his dray.
His mighty aind may be unequal to
the task of shoveling manure, il he
shall not find in the waters he has
sought the reeuperation which his pro-
found deliberations-as to just how he
should construct the effigy OF General
Grant in order 10 hang and burn it to
the best advantage require. 1t
is painful to contemplate the decay Of
that powerful frame of his, once so
robust as to make him a fleet run
ner-as he was at Santa Ana; and
now so Very, very far gone
toward the lowest living level
that he can only drag it to the Palace
Hotel, and there, ike a spurned beg
gar or scourged mental, implore the man
he threatened to hang and burn in efhgy
Tor onl y so much as admission to his
presence. SO that. he might. then pros
t.ate himself, to he kicked. and also to
lick the boot with which the kick was

made to PROSTATE themselves after a
severe lashing OF the terrible knout,

special correspondent. He sent L nos
characteristic dispatch on Monday to
the New York Sun, which is novel
enough to warrant publication. 1t runs
as follows:
There is no danger ola riot or trouble. The
workingmen are gathering strength hour by
hour. Our county and state ticket VIII DE
elected by large maJorIties. san Francisco
Will send the white workingmen's candidate
into the state legislature with ten thousand
majority, sure.
have now christened the Honorable Bilks'
party the 'murderers' party" Their only
argument is the pistol and dagger. tits the
democratic party under q new name, organ
lied for the purpose OF defeating the working
mems party in the interest of the republican
party with Grant for president. Its support
ers are Gland grabbers, the Chinese six COM
panies, Chinese employers, slave drivers,
slave traders and slave holders, oppressors OF
labor and destroyers of free institutions,
fresh water thieves and political bummers,
lunch nends and unhung murderer and
their organ is the Chronicle.
Their candidate for governor has grabbed
i35.oOo acres ofland. He is the heaviest cheap
employer In the state. Railroad highway
men, bank smashers and other thieving mo-
nopolles are supporting the republican party
In other words the thieves are now fighting
u honest men are now bound to get their
rights.
I predicted that the Chronicle would jump
the track.

w. II. VANDERBILT has suddenly
become very strict in matters of moral
business. Being the owner of Madison
Square garden, New York, he notifies
the lessee thereof that he must not let
the garden for the great walking
match next month. Mr.. Vanderbilt,
you know, doesn't believe in gambling
and desires his property to be free from
such scenes as usually go with any
great contest. Mr.. Vanderbilt, as ev-
erybody knows, is not a gambler. His
dealings in stocks are perfectly legiti-
mate, of course. There a be, to him,
no wrong in deceiving intimate friends
into buying heavily of stocks which he
is unloading. 1t is honorable to start
all sorts of schemes Of his into motion
all OF which add dollars and cents to
the Vanderbilt treasury. But then q
walking match-well, that is ''vulgah."
And besides, it destroys the building,
you see. Money is saved by prohibiting
the contest from taking place there.
This is a fine, gauzy xcuse to cover
the real intention in the case. Van
derbilt is throwing a pail to the theo-
logical whale and wants ONE cheap
moral capital.

that all private property should be equally

OF any civil right on account Of his religious

We are told, however. that the gov

ny. The government produces nothing;
it raises no wheat, no corn; it digs no
gold, nc silver. 1t is not 4 producer,
it is a consumer. The government is a
perpetual pauper that has to be sup
ported by the people. 1t is constantly

tributions. You cannot live upon the
