HAVE WE AN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. y.
From what has been briefly hinted in the
previous articles on this subject it must
have become plain that the southern
question is an exceedingly difficult one
much more difficult of right solution than
has been imagined ut the north or the
south. The war settled slavery and some
other things but ii really opened the
southern question in its gravest and most
perplexing form. We attempted to solve it
by the reconstruction measures, but they
failed. The leading elements in the south
put forth their strength, captured the state
governments and for eight or nine years,
with unimportant exceptions, they haye
had things their own way, with full power
to make all laws their wisdom could de-
wise and to enforce them without let or
hindrnnce, but they failed. The plan of
governing or Of maintaining order by the
United States authority was tried to q
limited extent and III very mild fashion,
and the plan of President HAYES of with
drawing the soldiers and permitting the local
authorities to manage has had u tour-ycars'

mp to the point of self-support is concerned
all the plans have miscarred, and we do
not see that there is now any system of
measures, laws, organizations, OF even aims
that promise anything in the right dircc-
tion. The problem so far has on the part
of the north been looked Mt rs one of main
tanning good order and securing the rights
of colored men aud poor white men, as
suming that with this accomplished all
other desirable things would follow natur-
ally. At the south ii has been looked upon
by the upper classes, who dominate and
control all the other classes, as Il question
of the permancnce OF their own supremacy.
The party OF the first part said Let us have
peace and quiet. The party of the second
part loudly said We are striving for peace,
and il you fellows at the north will only
let us alone peace and quiet shall be
guaranteed Ia the late campaign the
most prodigious efforts were made TO con-
vince the north that peace TeiCncd at the
south, there being q tacit understanding on
both sides that the kernel of the matter
was in that and in nothing else,
Looking at Ireland we see that peace
though existing there for generations, has
not elevated the Irish people 10 the condi
ton which it is the purpose of all proper
government TO establish aud maintain
Peace aud good order are among the condi
tions of prosperity and are vital, hut they
are not alone sufficient. We cannot avoit

NiONOPOLIEs.

There is scarcely n term so universally
misunderstood and misapplied as that of
"monopolist" or "mouopolizcr," in its ap-
plication TO the manufacturing interests of
this country and the relations they bear TO
ID protective tariff. This is resorted to
chiefly by those who arc opposed to pro-
lection for American industry for the pur-
pose of creating prejudice against capital
and enterprise which eau be converted into
partisan factor in our political contests.
The cry Of monopoly is that of the dema-
gogne who would mislead the ignorant and
excite the prejudices and passions of the
unthinking for petty partisan advantage.
In the industries of life in this nation,
whore the field of human enterprise is open
and free TO all, there is no such thing rs
monopoly. No one man or association of
men can monopolize any line of manufac-
lures in this free country. Every man has
an equal chance with his ncghbor when he
steps ont upon the race of life, except that
the Creator has not endowed all alike with
the mental, physical and moral attributes
and elements of success. AS the stars
differ in magnitude and lustre, so the
human intellect and power of action are
diversified. Some are born great, others
achieve greatness, while there are still
others who seem 10 have greatness thrust
upon Them but there is no monopoly in
the field of moral, intellectual and physical
effort. Neither is there any in this free
country of latent energy and resource. The
race is open to all, as Provi dence has quail
fed nll for taking part in it.
Then, what demagogical nonsense 1t is
to be constantly prating about monopolies
In country where there are no distinctions
In life's condition, except as they are Incl
dental upon the elements of our very exist
ence, for which we are not responsible, or have
been created by our own msdeeds and
mistakes, for which we are respo nsible. The
child of poverty has not as bright advan-
tages perhaps, rs that of affluence, nor has
the idiot or the inirm intellect an equal
chance with the well bala need mind of
Vigor, but the race-track of life is open to
all alike, where every individual becomes
the architect of his own fortune, rs the
Creator has given him the ability TO take
advantage of the opportunities that lie
along his pathway. In no department Of
business when the mart is open to compe-
tition can monopoles exist. Hence the
nonsense of a cry of monopoly, when no
such thing is possible under the diversified
and multifarious abilities and resources of
the American people. 1t is q libel upon
our free institutions and those who live
under them.
National Republican., 1880-12-01

in other conditions il may be an evil. The
city of New York, with the most enlarged
suffrage, is by no means so we'll governed as
the state of Rhode Island, with greatly
restricted suffrage, and these examples and
the possibilities they suggest are at least
cautions to us not to place unlimited re-
lance upon suffrage rs the ultimate or APP
proximate panacea. The body of southern
white men regard full suffrage as prime
evil, and Il is one OF the chief grievances
most piteously complained Of by them
against the republicans that the latter have
imposed il. 1t is unquestionably Que of
the principal causes of sectional ill-feel-
ing and disturbance, and IL 10 some
extent stands in the way of reciprocity and
unity. The quarrel over this may possibly
be the barrier to any final understanding; I;
but this part of the matter must be left for
later consideration.
The gist of 1t all lies in the educational
and industrial features of the case, and the
two are so related that practically they are
one; because in these days industry un-
educated amounts to nothing. 1t is at this
point southern craftsmanship has most mis-
orably failed, and northern statesman
ship rs applied TO the solution of the south
ern question will fail in the same way, un-
less its scope can be enlarged so as to COM
prehend in some degree the magnitude and
importance of enlightened industry.
In the old days of slavery the laws
against education were prominent and Sc
we're. II was made criminal to the last de-
gree to teach q slave. Granting state of
slavery this WIS necessary, because unver-
sal education and slavery are incompatible,
and this is not the place to find fault with
that condition of things, for now slavery is
ended and IL is of no use to discuss its cx-
igcncies. Slavery being out of the way
the old necessity for keeping the colored
people ignorant no longer exists and the
laws sustaining Ignorance are repealed.
This, however, is not enough, for the tenn
per OF the people toward educating the col
ored man may place such obstacles in his
way that education will yet fail. If school
houses are burned, and the burning is
winked at by the authorities, or If the
teachers Of colorcd schools are socially os-
tracised and made TO feel that their occu-
patton does not meet with the favor of the
higher orders, there can be no such thing
as system of education working to the
effec,ual end of the elevation of the laborer.
Education is a difficult thing when sus-
tanned by law, aud the moral sentiment OF
all the people; when both are wanting it is
nearly mpossible-certainly will not be
adequate.

GENERAL GATIELD will be elected

CHESTER A. ARTHUR vice-president. The
electoral colleges of the thirty-eight states
assembled yesterday in their respective

cate of the result to messenger, who
must personally hand It TO Vice-President
WHEELER, another certificate to the post
Office directed TO the same official, aud
third certificate to the judge of the United

that the members of the electoral bodies

A CORRESPONDENT asks us why we cannot
havo the Hvrdic cab-now so pOpelar an adj
junct TO street.car transportation In rhiladcl.
phia-brougbt into use in Washington. We
should be glad to have it, although it is no.
what our correspondent supp oses IL to be.
The Hordic cab is not much improvement on
our once.popular chariots. 1t is a low.hung,
one.horse vehicle. carrying eight persons, and
runs on stated routes, just as the cars do. We
have no doubt that a line of them running on
our asphalt.pavod sire cts would be popular
and profitable but, after all, what we want
is cheap onc.horse cab, which one person
may hire to go to any distance and to hold for
any time at fixed rates for dis tancc and time
During session of congress twenty of them
could bo kept proftably busy II tho trip could
be made between the capitol and tho White
House for twenty-five cents. In Paris tho
fare by cab anywhere within the barriers
five miles il need be-is thirty cents. In Lon
don the charge for a hanson is one shilling
per mile and sixpencc for each additional
mile. We sec no reason why n plain, strong
cab with ono horse could not find IL profitable
to run in Washington at rates not exceeding
thirty cents per mile or single course, or at
sixty cents per hour, with half rates for each
additional mile or hour.

TILE OHM SCANnAI.

The petty scandal now afloat relating to
the payment of certain Ohio hotel bills con-
nected with the Chicago convention is
but that of the hotel-keeper, his guests,
and he who furnished the money, and who
paid for the entertainment during the con-
vention seasonP Ifthe keeper of the hostel
rie got his pay he is no doubt satisfied,
though the amount might not be as large
as he could have desired. If the guests
found some benevolent person who was
willing to foot their bills, they certainly
had no cause of complaint, If the aiore-.
said benevolent gentleman found within
himself good and sufficient reasons con-
nected with the occasion for opening
the recesses of his plethoric pocket
book and drawing therefrom the cold
cash with which to compensate the
luxurious feed of the Grand Pacific
hotel that had been enjoyed by these guests,
and he did not complain, we are ut loss to
discover just what the public have to do
with this matter, or just how tho transac-
ton became a subject of public notoriety
Somebody must have leaked. Either the
hotel-keeper or the guests, or the almoner
of this remarkable benevolence must have
given the affnir away at this late day and
at this important juncture-jtfst when the
state of Ohio is being embroiled over the
election of United States senator. The
public exposition of the matter renders it n
contemplate scandal, for which there is no
apology or defense. The naughtiest aspect
Of the affair is that the name of Secretary
SHERMAN, whose feast had been turned
into fuuereal baked meats on that occa-
sion, has been dragged into the arena to
give showing that he was identified with
the performance, when before that occur
renee he had been brought to contemplate
the mutablity Of politics, and had no part
or relish for the feast that WAS being settled
for by another We cannot conceive any
other motive for giving this scandal to the
public except to bring further discontinue
to the statesman whose bier had been borne
through the Chicago convention by tho
same hands which had promised victorious
wreaths TO his brow. 1t is n republican
scandal with which the republican party
has no sympathy.
