What Some OF the Papers of the Coast

WHY our own silver mines should be
practically locked up while we pay tribute
to other nations for the precious metal We
already possess in large extent, IS one OF

The last Legislature, in passing an Act
for the establishment of State Mining

1t Is unfortunate that kearney was ar
rested, tried and sent to the House of
Correction, because his discharge carries
with it false sympathy and that he has
been oppressed under the decision of Judge
Rix by whom he was sent to prison. The
impression therefore goes out and is vora-
ciously swallowed by the wild men and
wild women of the sand.lots that Kearney

For long series of years there has not
been so favorable an outlook for good
crop, generally over the State, as at the
present time From every quarter comes
the most cheering news. Nowhere are any
serious apprehensions felt of contingent
mishaps to growing crops. We
look upon the approach of this rich harvest
as the advance ripple which is to end in a
tidal wave of prosperity to California. Let
our people be ready to take advantage of
return of good times, and, profting by
the experience of tine past, seek to avoid a
recurrence of that excessive initiation in
business which must inevitably end in
ruinous collapse. Petaluma Argus.

EXCITEMENT MODERATED.


CHICAGO, June-4th. The excitement in the
Convention has materially moderated, though
the interest is still intense but is more calm
and less demonstrative.
While it is just possible that balloting may
begin tonight, the prevailing impression is
that no nomination is possible before to-mor-
row, while many think the Convention will
extend its proceedings into next week. De-
lay is clearly the purpose of Grants support
ers, while the Blaine men are anxious to
force the fighting and bring matters to an
issue as soon as it can be fairly and cour-
teously effected. The Grant leaders
and journals charge that Garfield
is working entirely in Blaine's interests,
and intimate that the friends of the latter
are holding him in reserve for advancement
should Blaine fail of the nomination. The
more probable surmise is that Garfield is only
leading the Sherman movement in co-opera-
ton with Blaine's friends, but If Blaine
should win the second place just now it is

Democrats are dubious about betting
against the field-that is, Garfield.
o, wad some power the giftie gle DEM
ocrats to see their ticket as ithers see it.
'Ancock and Henglish, is the way the

that is to be slaughtered in November.

literary column, which will be made up
with special reference to the home, and
family circle.

The INDIANAPOLIS LEADER.
TO OUR READERS.

We again take pleasure in calling
the attention of our readers to our ad
vertising columns. The best and
cheapest houses in nearly every line
of the retail trade are represented in
our columns. Our friends will confer
a favor on The Leader and save money
for themselves by visiting the houses
advertised in The Leader and exam
lining the goods before making pur-
chases. The houses which advertise
in The Leader are encouraging an en-
terprise which represents the best as
pirations of the race for recognition
in the business world, and they should
be literally patronized by our people.
Friends, don't forget this.

She Was Not There.

The Peoples Advocate was represented
in Chicago by its able editor, J. w. Crom-
well. In its last issue it gives the follow
ing items seen by him fn Chicago:
A public school of fifty pupils, of which
five were colored, taught by colored lady.
Less prejudice on account of color than in
any other city we have visited. A colored
dentist with a yearly practice of $3, 900.
The largest and most commodious business
houses west of New York. Thomas s.
Boston thriving as travelling agent for
one of the largest music houses in the
country. The business of barberipg and
waiting was not monopolized by her swar-
thy sons, the German being as expert and
as ready as the most fastid;ous gentleman
of color.
The model mammoth establishment of
Field 4 Letter, which employs over 800
persons in their retail department. TIE
finest hotels in the United States, the worst
paved streets, the most dingy-looking
stone, and the least regard for the Sabbath.
The most disagreeable audiences for any
public speaker who dares to assert opin-
nionsS contrary to general expectation.
Enough hash houses at which you can get
meal from ten cents up, to board vast
army of political tramps.
He failed to see what we saw-the
sweetest, dearest girl on this green earth.
But Cromwell is a man, married. Our
Age, (Evansville).
What nonsense. She does not live in
Chicago. She never even saw the place.
The editor of the Leader knows her
name in all its sweetness.
Knows her traits-divine in meekness
How she dotes on him and he returns
it.
Talks with her where'er he meets hel
(which the same is often).
Calls her Leader's-ah, just "cheese it.

Hendricks cause is lost cause. To

That Porter is mighty good beverage:

That it is mistake to think that the

That Indianapolis needn't be alarmed
about the transfer of our respected and
solid Mr.. English to Washington. The
danger is not imminent.
That the West Indian cotton-picker,
who edits a so-called colored Democratic

to the tropics. He's not needed here.

THR PRESIDENTIAL RACE.


Cincinnati has responded to Chi
cago-the Democracy have come to
the scratch with their favorite, and
the two tickets are in the field The
people now have to make up their
mind as to whom they want for the
next Chief Magistrate. This matter
of making up their minds, however,
belongs entirely to our white citizens.
So far as we of the Negro race are
concerned, it doesn't require an ex-
traordinary stretch of time to make
up our minds when it comes to a
choice between Democratic and Re-
publican principles and candidates.
By virtue of the force of circum-
stances, our course is predetermined
before the opposing hoss are mar
shalled for the conflict under their re-
spective generals.
We are necessarily, by choice and
prediction, red-hot, straight Repub
licans. 1t is for our Caucasian fellow
citizens that all the furore of ratifica-
tions, mass-meetings, joint discussions,
torch light professions, etc., are held.
But it is well for us to know the rea-
son for the faith that is within us.
We are Republicans, not for the
spoils of office-for of these we have
received but meager portion. We
shall vote for General Garfield instead
of General Hancock, not simply be-
cause we expect to reap greater emo
luments in the way of office holding
from the former than from the latter,
but we stand by the Republican party
and vote for the gallant Garfield, be-
cause the Republican party is to-day,
and has been since it's existence, the
representive party of human liberty
and equality in this country, and be-
cause General Garfield, to-day, is the
central figure in that party. We are
Republicans because the Republican
party is the party of Lovejoy and
Garrison, of Philips, of Sumner, Of
John Brown. of Lincoln, of Morton
of Grant, and last but not least, Of
Garfield. We are Republicans because
the Republican party is the party o.
human freedom, because it is the party
of reconstruction, of civil rights, anC
of political equality as embodied il
the last three amendments to the Con
stitution. We are Republicans be
cause that party has opposed Ku
kluxism, bull-dozing and politica
murder and robbery in general. W.
are Republicans because that party
has been a friend of free schools, a
well as a free ballot for all, and be
cause it has bee the champion of hon
est money and just regard for tn
plighted faith of the Nation. We ar
Republicans because the Republican
party represents not only all the pro
gressive ideas of the age, but becaus
it represents all that is grand, glori
Gus, and magnificent in our country
history. Was there ever better,
nobler, grander title to political allie
glance than the ties which bind u
to the Republican party?

cocks little order would take rank
with the greatest State papers OF the
world and Pryor could find no name
in the annals of history equal to Han
cocks. Brother Pryor is very defic-
lent in the matter of nomenclature

least difficulty in finding a name to
which General Hancock's could be

The refusal of the majority Of the
British Parliament to allow MIR. Brad
laugh, the radical member elect from
Northampton to take his seat, is an
outrage which the English people will
sooner or later rebuke. The fact that
Mr.. Bradlaugh is enamored Of Repub-
lican principles and takes little stock
in the House of Brunswick and titled
gentry in general, is the real thorn in
British Monarchial flesh.
Since writing the above Bradlaugh
has triumphed. The majority were
forced to back down. Northampton
will be represented by her favorite
and royalty will sulk and growl.

The most foolish blowing INDUCED
in by the Democratic newspapers at
present is the silly assertion that there
is an enthusiasm among the Colored
people of the South for General
Hancock. While there may be some
colored people who by being bull
dozed, Ku-kluxed, or bought up,
may nominally support Hancock in
some portions ofthe South, every man
of good sense, Democrat or Republi-
can knows, there is no genuine en-
thusiasm for General Hancock or
any other Democrat among colored
colored people anywhere in the coun-
fry
