ALVORD & SON.
The Indianapolis leader. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1879-1890, 1880-01-31

And now comes New York Her.
aid correspondent from Cairo who
claims that woman and not politics
was the cause of the late Turkish rev.
olution which resulted in the depos-
ing of Abdul Aziz. 1t appears that
one of Abdul's five Legitimate wives
became infatuated with Grand Vizier-
Hussein Ami Pasha. Hussan Bey,
u brother of one of the other wives
communicated the fact to the sultan,
who was SO enrag, d that he called his
faithlesswte into private apartment
and struck her several bio VS. with q
sword inficting mortal wounds. At
tendants were called to remove her
on the supposition that she was dead.
She lived long enough, however, to
tell trusted slave all that had hap
pened and to send message to Hus-
sein Ami. Ami fled TO Sheik III
Islam, the head of the Moslem church
and induced him to sign decree de-
posing Abdul Aziz and recognizing
Murad as sultan. Ami, however,
sooL fell by the hand of an assassin
at the instigation of Hassan Bey and
Murad enjoyed only a very brief
reipn

The Maine FiascO.

The Maine fasco has ended, and
law and order have triumphed over
one of the most corrupt and Infamous
schemes ever concocted. The fusion
legislature, not satisfied with two de-
cisions of the supreme court against
them, courted the 'third time charm"
The third decision was more radical
and explicit than either of the others,
and p plainly showed that the court de-
sired no further trifiing with the rev.
olutionists. On receipt of the decis-
ion the spine of Smith, the would be
Governor, became as elastic and unre-
liable as that of scared eel. The
members of the fusion legislature
"showed weakness" Immediately and
FASTENED TO meet and adjourn to Au-
gust. The hungry scamps then began
to crawl into the legislature and take
their seats, while the counted in chaps
snatched their gripsscks and struck
out for more congenial scenes and as
sociAtions. These fellows knew that
the law-abiding people not only of
Maine but of other states as well, had
made up their minds that they must
go hence, they stood not upon the or
der of going, but went, and that right
lively too. Thus another chapter has
been added to the already voluminous
record of Democratic stupidity and
baseness. To the cool-headed firm
ness and patriotism of the Hon. James
g. Blaine is due in great measure this
triumph of right and honesty over
rascality and dishonesty as personated
by the Democratic party.
The Indianapolis leader. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1879-1890, 1880-01-31

The Senate devoted Wednesday to
eulogies on the life and character of
the late Senator Chandler, of Michigan
Senator Blaine appears to have made
the speech that attracted most atten-
tion. The Senators from Michigan
acquitted the .nselves well and quite u
number of other prominent Republi-
cans paid glowing tributes to the
memory of Mr.. Chandler. 1t is worthy
of note that the Democrats treated the
occasion with unseen y contempt. The
sting of she great Senator's lash upon
their laccrated bac1s is too recent Tor
them to even conceal the resentment
they bore him and the cause herepre-
sented. Senator Bayard, of Delaware,
was the only Democrat who had the
courage to say single word, and un-
der the circumstances it must be con-
ceded that he acquitted himself quite
well.

The Exodus.

The exodus "do move" Senator
Voorhees, committee to the contrary
Notwithstanding. Over 700 immi-
grants have arrived in st. Louis with
in the past few days from Louisiana
and Mississippi, enroute for Kansas
and the West. The st. Louis Relief
Association is informed that 900 fami-
lies in the States mentioned only
await transportation. Indiana is
still the recipient of occasional colon
les of immigrants, all of whom thus
far have secured renumerative en-
p,oyment.

Notes.

The Ker lsands of Jack Haverly's time
have all run out.
The Blaine boom seems to be booming
along quite boomingly.
The fusionists OF Maine are eudeavorinp
to fuse with the honest people of the State
A reigning belle says that nothing adorns
female headgear so beautifully as we'll
develoedp oyster[ich] feather.
There was Horrible exhibition of Cox
combing in Congress last week 1t was a
lousy job, but it bad to be done.
The Fusionists have received another
dose OF Mainesupremecourt. Its very
bitter dose to swallow but then the kickers
have to take it.
Was there ever any investigation OF the
causes which led to Voorhees, exodus from
Lafayette 80 Terre Haue in order TO OBJ
tain seat in Congress.
Haverly's Mammoth Cave, more famil.
iarly known as Tom McIntosh's mouth, ia
an awful and syawning example of over
indulgence in stale jokes and miscellaneous
talk. Ladies, bewarel s.s.s-z s~ssss
Moses Walker lsays "let my people 20"
Pharaoh Voorhees, says "they cant go"
They are going. The moral in this serves
to show that men may differ and vet the
world and immigration move on Just as il
they agreed.
1nasmuch as Carleton, Lamb, Kelly &
Co. know so much about the exodus might
it not be possible that Professor Edison
could shed some light upon the subject.
Let him be Summoned.
The latest Democratic expedient to
raise the wind is TO be summoned to ap.
pear before Voorhees, investigating COM
mittee at Washington, to say that nothing
is known in regard to the cause of the
North Carolina exodus to Indiana.
Judging from the contents of the Gin
cinnati papers, it would Sc m that all the
noise and fuss about Ohio elections has
one objective point-Cincinnati police
1t is to be prayerfully hoped
that this matter may receive an early set
Element and then We shall probably get
little generrlp news

"Wherever I Am They Can Come"

General Grant is credited with be-
ing the author of several pithy cpl
grammatic sayings, with which the
public is quite familiar, and which
will G down to posterity with
the most famous sayings of the most
famous men; but none which he has
ever spoken or ever will speak, can
ever give utterance to thought so
full to overfowing with the milk of
human kindness and true benevolence
and compassion, as those which head
this article, and which fell from his
lips recently during his reception in
Florida city. Upon retiring to his
hotel after the formalities of the re-
ception were over, he was followed
by large crowd of colored people.
The hotel keeper, true to his Southern
instincts, thought this very annoying
to the general, and sought to do him
q real kindness by ordering the crowd
to leave. The general, however, Oh
iected. "Wherever | am" said he,
they can come"
What nobler, more God-like words
ever fell from the lips Of being, NOR
tai or immortal? For 1900 years our
civilization has been thrilled with the
beautiful words Of the Founder OF
Christianity, "Suffer little children
to come unto me, for Of such is the
kingdom of Heaven" and not until
now haveethese matchloss words met
with anything from the lips of mortal
man elevated high above his fellows,
worthier to go hand and hand
with them down the centuries 10 the
end Of time Whether General Grant
! is chosen president or not, be occp-

money not needed for immediate use was

The Exodus Inv stigation.

DemOcratlc papers nave Doastcu
not little oversome of the testimony
given before the exodus committee
by prominent colored men. Yet
when this testimony is carefully ex-
amined it will be found that there is
no balm of Gilead in it for the Demo-
cratic party. .The fact has been de-
veloped that the prominent colored
and white politicians of North Caro-
lima are opposed to the exodus, while
the masses of the colored people who
are the real victims of the outrage
and venalty Of their late masters,
and the only competent witnesses as to
the cause of their leaving, are almost
to man in favor of it. The most
prominent of these witnesses are Mr.
Charles n Otey, editor of the Argus
of Washington, and Mr.. O'Hara who
was fairly elected to Congress in the
district from winch these people come
"a district in which, on any fair
election the Republicans have had a
majority of 10000 Mr. O'Hara,
however, was counted out, according
to the Democratic programme
throughout the South. Both gentle
men while claiming that bull doing
is not rife in that locality, neverthe-
less admit that there are other serious
grievances which they think will be
remedied in time. No doubt these
grievances will be rcmcdied in time,
but the masses have got more sense
than to sit down and wait for the mil
lenium. Instead of waiting for sal
vation to come to them, they propose
to seek it. The fact is, the exodus
will benefit those who stay rs we'll as
those who leave. Now that the col
ored people are free, they are finding
out just what thousands of poor white
people found out % years ago, namely,
that North Carolina is no place for
a poor man to build himself up. It's
soil is too poor. Its land owners are
too penurious and venal. Its few
wealthy men lack public spirit and
enterprise. The Government is con-
trolled by an unscrupulous and desper-
ate minority which has disfranchised
the masses, demoralized and ruined
their schools,and is pe:petuating itself
by fraud and violence.
The poor white people who left
North Carolina 25 years ago on ac-
count of similar prosecutions, now
constitute very respectable class of
the prosperous, wealthy and happy
inhabitants of the great Northwest;
while those who remained behind are
the same conceited, ignorant, preju-
diced uncivilized old 1Tar Heels" of
former times.
We have a very high regard for
Messrs. Otey and O'Hara. We be-
lieve them to be perfectly sincere and
and conscientious in what they say
but we can not resist the conviction
that the logic of their conclusions is
sadly at fault. In this opinion we
are supported by the masses of the
colored people who prefer the logic of
common sense to the utopian dreams
of mere theorists.
The Indianapolis leader. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1879-1890, 1880-01-31

We have on more occasions than
one paid our respects in no compli
mentary way TO Senator Voorhees,,
but we must turn aside now to con-
'yratulate our junior senator for a
stinging rebuke which he admins
tered to member OF his committee
the other day, who took advantage
of his position to insult colored
gentleman, who was testifying.

lie of this city to know that George

Voorhees, Investigation.

If ever there was a more impot-
ent, weak and foolish farce enacted
at Washington than Dan Voorhees, is
now carrying on through the investi-
CATION of the causes of the North
Carolina exodus-history has failed
to record it. But it is just like Voor-
hees for the world. A man of no
ability, u mere windbag, without the
brains to originate any legislative
measure that would commend itself
TO half-dozen sensible members of
Congress, and that would be of value
to the country, he must needs do some
thing that will keep him out of the
obscurity to which his practical legis-
lative talents naturally relegate him.
The negro question is one which he
always holds in reserve. When the
force of events shows him to have
been not only wild, ignorant and
reckless, but extremely y dangerous in
his assertions and predictions regard
ing finance and business measures,
he cunningly endeavors to withdraw
the public gaze from the rawnessand
crudity of his knowledge about those
subjects, by raising Il great hullabaloo
about the emigration of few colored
people from North Carolina to Indi-
ana; and this, too, in face of the fact
that he has himself emigrated on
several occasions, to better, not his
material, but his political fortunes.
Iti within the memory of men now
living that he once upon time, after
being slaughtered in race for Con-
gress, in the Lafayette district, pulled
up stakes and removed to Terre-
Haute, because it had Democratic
congressional majority.
We have never heard that the citi-
zens of the former district were so
indignant about the honorable gentle
mans removal from their midst as to
demand an investigation of the causes
which led to it; but it was just as
properly a matter of public inquiry as
the removal of colored people from
North Carolina to Indiana; and we are
very much surprised at the fact that
the citizens of the Terre-Haute dis
trict did not demand a judicial inquiry
into the causes which led to the gen.
tleman's S colonization in their district.
Subsequent events have proven it to
have been a political scheme, pure
and simple.
When this investigation is finished,
what can be done about it? Nothing.
Not one immigrant can be turned
back. 1t will only stimulate more to
come. 1t will cost the Government
from twenty to thirty thousand dol
lar to carry On this foolishness, and
that in itself will be strong Repub-
lican campaign document. Let the
Republican managers, get the cost to
the people of these men, whom Voor-
hees is calling to Washington to testify
about something they know nothing
about, and it will be an irresistible
witness of the consummate ign orance
and recklessness of the Democratic
leaders. 1t will show them just what
the Democrats would do, if they had
uDhampered control of the govern
ment purse. This investigation will
be a boomerang, that will unhorse
many a Democratic rider, in a doubt
full district.

A Puzzled Parson.

A n OLD gentleman from the East, of
n clerical aspect, took the stage
from Denver south in ante-railroad days.
The journey was not altogether a safe
one, and he was not re-assured by the
sight of number of rifles deposited in
the coach, and nervously asked for what
they were.
perhaps you'll find out before you
git to the Divide" was the cheering
reply.
Among the passengers was a particu-
larly Qt seemed to him) fierce-looking
man, girded with belt full of revolvers
and cartridges, and clearly road agent
or assassin. Some miles out, this per-
son, taking out a large flask, asked,
Stranger, do you irrigate?"
"If you mean drink, sir, do not"
"Do you object, stranger, to our irri-
eating ?"
"No, sir" And they drank accord
ingly.
After a further distance had been
traversed, the supposed brigand again
asked, Stranger, do you fumigate
"If you mean smoke, sir, do not"
Do you object, stranger, to our fumi-
gating?"
"No, SIR" And they proceeded to
smoke.
AT the dining place, when our friend
came to tender his money, the proprie-
tor said q Your bill's maid ~
Who paid it 7"
"That man, ,"-pointing to the sup
posed highwayman, who, on being asked
If he had not made a mistake, replied,
mot at all. You see, when we saw
that you didn't irrigate and didn't fumi-
gate, we knew that you was a parson.
And your bills are all right as long as
you travel with this crowd. We've got
