TIA delegate can honorably ignore
the instructions given him by the pow
er that created him, then an employe
who uses his position to steal from the
man who trusts him is also an honora-
BILE man. Yet to the employment of
such ignoble tools were the "respecta-
bles" of the Republican party forced.
to save it from the control of the major
ity. 1t is II pretty comment on the in
tegrity and boosted intelligence of the
"God and morality" party. It also
proves that they are quite as ready,
when necessary to accomplish the ends
of faction, to steal from each other, as
they are at other times to steal from
the people.

A good story comes from Chicago
through the convention correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun: The crowds ut
the Palmer House evince much curios-
ity in watching Georgia .colored gen.
tleman by the name of Quarter who is
now practicing law in New York and
who is here in:the interest of the Sher-
man boom. Mr.. Quarter is In tow of
ex-sheriff Daggett, of Brooklyn, who
is New York delegate and intends to
vote for Sherman. Quarter is very
black. He wears blue coat. an open
shirt with big brilliant pin stuck in
it, light pants and kid gloves. A sem
sation was created when he marched
into the big dining room Of the Palmer
House tonight arm-in-arm with Mr..
Daggett and took q seat directly oppo-
site Mrs. Don Cameron and Mrs. Levi
Morton. The guests dropped their
knives and forks and started and the
colored walters gathered in groups and
watched and chartered, and many
stalwart Republicans, to whom such .
spectacle was rather new, did not ex-
press much admiration.

To-day Thursday the Executive
Committee of the 4th Congressional
District will to select the time and
place for holding the coming Con-
vention. While we do not desire to
disparage the claims of other points,
and besides having a sneaking desire
under other conditions to secure the
honor for Ironton, we must confess
that Poplar Bluff offers the most nat
urdl inducements. It is central, and
easily accessible to all parts of the Dis
trict; and we learn that its hotel &C.
commodations are greatly superior to
what they were two years ago, and
ample to take in the crowd which will
attend the convention. AS all of these
conditions to not attach to any other
claimant, we vote for Poplar Bluff!
and hope, for the interest and convent
ence of the people, the committee may
look at tho matter as we do.

From the New York Sum-
While they who fain would rule the land b
force.
+ Divide aud disagree,
Their final hope and ultimate resource
A regal dynasty
The peoples party holds its onward course,
Harmonious and free.
No wild ambition, no imperial aim,
Its efforts can harass,
Nor Is II crowned with robbery and shame,
Nor wears front of brass:
But quietly presents its modest claim
To represent the mass.
Ready in West and East and South and North
Ready on every hand,
The peoples representatives come forth,
And side by side they stand,
To choose q man Of patriotic worth
To guide and rule the land.
The party which imperial force divides
Is fit to fall apart;
Already mortal wounds are in its sides,
1t faints beneath the smart;
A strong demand for better, truer guides
= Comes from the general heart.

that the distress there Gin the main

the timely relief afforded, he thinks,
we would have witnessed repetition

Certainly such q notice as this must
be in grateful contrast to the era of
wastefulness from which we have lat
terly emerged. Under the Radical
rule, although conducted upon the
strength of cOlored suffrage and pro-
fessedly in the interest of the cOlOred
people, the public..funds were squander-
ed, the schools were dismantled and
public education SO far as 1t concerned
colOred people in the parishes, was q
transparent fiction. The cOlOred chill
dren were robbed of their school advan-
tages by the party of which they were
the dominant element, and the cOlOred
people had to content themselv yes with
hollow promises in return for the faith
full and unfaltering support upon which
that party had it's being. Now the
change to frugal and conscientious
administration is bearing fruit i'm the
revival of those abandoned institutions.
and the colored people have an oppor-
tunlty Of comparing the substantial
performances Of Democracy with the il
lusory promises of RadicalIsm. It
would seem that as the race find their
interests considered, their rights re-
spected and their privileges preserved
to them, they should reconcile them
selves to a change by which they are

How the Census Will be Taken

The penalty for obstructing census
takers, who began their labors on the

years who shall refuse to furnish the informa-
ton required by the supervisor or enumerator
shall forfeit and pay . sum not exceeding
500, to be recovered in action of debt Pres
ident, directors or other officials, Of private
corporations who refuse to furnish informa-
ton required OF them are made liable to .
penalty not to exceed 81, 200.
Only four weeks are allowed for the com
pletion of the census. The compensation
to the enumerators is as follows: Two cents
for each living inhabitant; two cents for each

cents for each mandatory, which is to be IN
full for all services and no mileage or travel
ing expenses. b

Frightening Prospects Of the
Democracy.
From the New York sun. /

FROM the New YORK Sun.
The feeling is rapidly spreading tina,
II the Democrats do not carry the mex
Presidential election it will be theil
own fault; and there is evidently q gen.
erai resolve that they will not commit
such fault.
We believe now that great care will
be taken in the selection OF candidate,
and that the candidate, whoever be
may be, will receive the hearty and al
most unanimous support of the party.
Beyond the disagreement in refer
ence to candidates, beyond the differ
ence on the third-term question, there
seems to be a feeling i'm the ranks of
the Republicans that their party has
survived its usefulness and might as
we'll be disbanded.
The prospects Of the Democracy are
frightening.

to his pent-up feelings. He unmerci-

There was . man once who had .
house, and he had . fence around it
and he had two gates in the fence
He was . practical man and always
wanted his gates shut. He said that
was what they was made for. (Now
for my part, don't believe that, for II
seems to me gate 10 made to be
opened.)
Well. the butchers boy, and the
vegetable mans boy. and the milk
boy, and the beer boy, they would
come early in the morning and go out
before the mans family was up. OF
course all of them together and separ-
ately would leave one of the gates
pretty wide open = maybe both of
them. The first thing you know,
there would be sixteen COWS in the
mans yard eating the grass right I'M
der the window nearest the mans
bed, and every cow with a bell on
"biger than ole Grant," Then there
would be about dozen mules and
colts, Il don't know whether the colts
belonged to the mules or not), eatin'
up the roses and honeysuckles and
peoples and things. And then there
would be about seven large size pigs
called hogs-rooting con-
around in the tulip and hya-
cinth beds and goblin little meal
that cost the man about fifty dol
lars.
The man would get up in his dis
is, his bare feet and
collar button-and drive the menagerie
,ut and shut the gates and offer up a
iew CALCULATIONS.
He figgers up that his milk costs
him about dollar quart, his mutton |
hirty cents a pound and his beef is
till more costive. In the matter of
vegetables he concluded to buy from a
lew man that didn't have no boy.
Now you see what leaving gates
pen sometimes generally does.
