Supreme Court Decision.

A decision has been rendered
in the Supreme Court, at Wash
ington, in the case of Taylor
Strauder, plaintiff in error, VS..
the State of West Virginia. The
question involved was the con-
stitutionality of m act of the
West Virginia Legislature, laws
of 1928, chapter AZ, excluding
colored citizens from jury service
in the courts of that State. This
court holds that when a colored
citizen is tried for his life by a
jury from which citizens Of his
own race are by a State statute
expressly excluded, he is denied
the equal protection of law guar
anteed by the third clause of the
18th amendment to the Constitu-
ton, and that, the State statute
denying him such right is repug-
nant to said constitutional pro-
vision. The judgment of the
Supreme Court Of Appeals of:
West Virginia is reversed. JUS
tice Field and Clifford dissented.

The Rise in the Price of Paper.

White paper of the quality on
which the OBSERVER is printed
has gone up so per cent. within
a few months. Many Of the
newspapers, especially in the
west, have increased their rates
Of subscription in proportion.
The Chicago Times said plainly
that, owing to this great rise in
the price of paper, it must
l.. Decrease the size of the
paper.
2. Publish at a loss; or,
3. Increase the rate of sub
scription.
And it chose the latter, raising
the subscription price of all its
editions, daily, ti'i-weekly and
weekly.
We do not propose to increase
the price of the OBSERVER, but
those in arrears must see that al
arreal'ages are at once paid.
Farmers are profiting in the
increased value of all crops.
2, Business. men are profiting il
the revival of business. r
And in a business point of
view at time when paper and
type and ink and everything that
goes to make up a paper is
booming, the price of the paper
should also go up.

Shall There be a New Plank?
Manchester Guardian.l

Manchester Guardian.
The anti-compromise journals
harp~incessantly upon the fact.
that a large majority Of the peo-
pie Of Tennessee voted against
the compromise at the August
election. They therefore assume
that they are the Democratic par
tg and intend that the Democrat
ic platform shall be constructed
in accordance with their views.
Let us see: The Democratic par
ty of Tennessee have for many
years, through its Conventions
and by the action of its Govern
ors and General Assembly, ac-
knowledge the validity Of the
State debt and have recognized
it as a binding obligation upon
the people. This. has been the
uniform action, all along, until
the Convention of 1873, when it
was departed from SO far as to
say that a portion of the debt
was tainted with fraud and should
be sittea, and any settlement a
greed upon by the Legislature
should be submitted to thepeople.
The history of subsequent action
is fresh in the minds of all.
Now, if we understand the posi-
Ftion of the anti-compromise par
ty it is that they want to pay all
the States Just Indebtedness, but
will not agree to pay a dollar of
the bonds issued to the railroads.
After the repeated declarations
Of the party-through its recog-
nized authority-will it now, at
The demand of those claiming tC
be the party, insert a plank an
nouncing that determination!
Will they go back on the record
made years ago and never deyia,
ted from since, until 1878, and
still claim that they and they
alone are the party and should
dictate its policy? Will it be
: consistent for the Democratic
party now to make a declaration
) of principles entirely antagonis-
tic to its uniform declaration fol
the last ten years? We ask fol
information.

A Bit of History.
Nashville American

After the adoption of the State
credit platform in 1874 Gov.
Marks and Dorsey b. Thomas
were both candidates before the
convention, warmly supported
by enthusiastic fiiends,and.it was
never declared by either or sus-
pected by anybody that either
would have declined if a nomi-
nation had been made. This
APPLY illustrates and reinforces
the view that there was then but
one sentiment with Democrats,
and that in favor of the payment
of the State debt.

their duty to preach against the

tic, against the sin of voting for
political party that lives only
by maintaining the liquor license
system, being in partnership with

Coming to Tennessee.
fCincinnati Enquirer. I

Sir John Boyle, of London
England, accompanied by Cyrus
Clark, of Pennsylvania, and 9th
ers arrived here yesterday from
the Cumberland plateau, and af-
ter consultation with the trus-
tees and managers of the South
ern railroad, left for the East,
These gentlemen spent some time
on the Cumberland plateau, ex-
amining titles OF lands and pre-
pairing to found a large Eng
fish colony in that section.
They have finally decided on a
point seven miles from the South
ern Railroad, opposite Robbins
Station, 216 miles from Cincin-
matt, and having purchased about
one hundred thousand acres of
land there will proceed to erect
saw mills, lay out town, build
hotel and bring from England
a very large colony numbering
thousands of persons. They ex-
pect to build iron works, manu-
factories Of wooden articles, and
to engage in agriculture largely.
A considerable number of the
colonists will bepeople of wealth
and social positions, who will
erect elegant residences,and bask
away the years of their lives in
the perpetual summer of Ten
nessee and the clear atmosphere
of the plateau, two thousand feet
above the sea level.

Virginia Re-Adiusters.
Nashville Banner.

Is it possible that Virginia is
about to wheel into line with the
debt paying States, and leave us
alone? Louisiana, by a submis-
sion to the people, funded her
debt at a low rate Of interest, and
now the republicans of Virginia,
by whose aid the re-adjusters
conquered in the last election, are
switching off into payment. Of
course, if the Virginia republic
cans change sides it is all over
there with the non-paying party,
for it was by a very bare major
ity they carried last year. If
this information proves to be so,
where will be, the last lingering
rose that blooms alone? We
must begin somewhere and pay
something, if it is one bond at a
time. 1t will never do to be
pointed at as the only State left
that has made no arrangement.

ePec'al Correspondence Of the oBsEnvRR
WAsHISerOS, D. c., March 4, 1880.
1T is believed by Frye and
many other leading members of
The House, and by nearly every
democrat and Conservative mem
Der, that the rules just adopted
by the House will facilitate the
transaction of business greatly,
and that, though the power of
the majority is increased, it is
not unreasonably increased.
Yesterday Senator Logan fin
ished two days of a speech on
Alaw points" in the case Of Fitz
John Porter. 1t is evident that
Senators who have some knowI-
edge Of law, and who wish to
injure Porter's chances, but who
do not wish to make themselves
ridiculous have supplied Logan
with what he calls illegal points.
Logan does not know any better
than to go stumbling on, and
threatens to speak for two OF
three days more. After he gets
through the Senate by a vote Of
more than two to one will en-
tlorse the report Of General Ter
ny, Schofield and Getty, made
after patient investigation, in
stead Of the hasty decision of a
Court Martial given in the excl
ted times Of 1868.
This day is the third anniver-
sary of Mr.. Hayes Inauguration.
In the three years past there have
been appointed to Office more
iogucs, forgers and pcrjurcrs
than during any preceding adj
ministration, and this by and un-
der a man who promised to make
us forget the defect in his title
by giving us a reformed civil SER
vice. One year more ends this
mans term. 1t rests with Dem
ocrats and other Conservative
citizens to see that not only no
such fraud is again committed,
bat that a man of real honesty,
patriotism and ability shall sue
coed Mr.. Hayes.
The Washington Post has a
conspicuous leader this morning,
in which il is stated that 'Mr
TiIden is candidate" No one
will find fault With Mr.. TiIden
for that. 1t is his right, as it of
every ether citizen. He will be
elected if nominated at Cincin-
natl. So will any other good
Democrat who may thus be
hcnored. But Mr.. Tild g L
lessons his chances for obtaining
the nomination when his indis-
Greet friends threaten to defeat
any one at the polls who may de-
feat Mr.. Tilden~at Cincinnati.
