The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1880-04-03

ing men were not paid, owing to the ex-
istence of precisely the same legal obstacle,
and many of them had their scanty wages
discounted while waiting for the passage of
law for their relief. The point we make
is that Hoffman took the responsibility Of
paying the Gas Company, but did not take
it in behalf of the working men.-The Kir-
by Bill, providing for issue of $500, 900 for
Southern Railway terminal facilities is a
law.-The solution of the vexed question
of the political and civil rights of the col
ored race in the United States NAV, after all,
be found in emigration and wider distri-
button. Absorbed in the States where no
apprehension Of the domination of the
black race would be entertained, even if
they exercised all the rights of citizenship
unrestricted, the negro would disappear
from politics and cease to be subject of
contention. But this movement should be
left very much to itself, as the movements
of other populations are left The emigra-
tion of freedmen from the South may cease
altogether. That will depend upon the
kind of treatment they receive at tile hands
of their white neighbors If it continues.
we shall know why it does and should give
just so much assistance as will assure dis
rribution and secure employment to the
refugees.
The Gazette says: The taxpayers of Gin
cinnati have right to know whether bonds
that have been redeemed are still outstand-
ing. The Sinking Fund Commissioners
have ascertained enough to make thor
ough investigation essential. This can best
be done by changing the management of
the office.-An overwhelming majority of
the voters of Cincinnati are opposed
to Hoffman for cause; bat to make
this opposition effective must turn
out on Monday and vote. 1t won't
do while protesting TO neglect the ballot
box.-A plan is before the New York Leg
islature to preserve the American side of
Niagara Falls from the total desecration
which is threatened under the control of
the present avaricious and careless owners
of the ground. The New York Legislature
could not confer greater boon upon the
world at large than to wrest Niagara from
the vandals and sharks that infest it.-Our
Atlanta special brings rumor of an arrange
ment effected by the Louisville & Nash
vile managers, by which the Western
& Atlantic Railroad is to turn its back upon
the Cincinnati Southern and give the only
line between Atlanta and Chattanooga over
to the Newcomb combination. The threat
of the latter to build the Georgia Western,
it is said brought the lessees Of the West
ern & Atlantic, who have hit erto favored
Cincinnati, to terms. But little could be
ascertained last night of the nature of the
combination, but there seems to be no
doubt that it is one of importance to the
Southern connections of the Cincinnati
Road.
The Enquirer says: The most popular
Republican in Ohio is Senator Garfield.
He is an ass not to ask for and have his
State instruct for him for the Presidency
The nomination of Esheby is said to have
cost the gang about $2,5O0. Quite neat
figure; not large but enough.
The German Papers.
The Volksfreund says: Mr.. Landmarks
name is also missing OH the mixed tickets
of the Gazette and Commercial. That is
SO because he is a prominent German, and
therefore could do cons derabe for the re-
tention of the German language in the
schools. Mr.. Landman is proprietor of a
printing Office on Fourth street, and is a
very capable and educated man.
The Volksblatt says: Yesterday was
black Friday for murderers No less than
nine men in different parts of the country
had to suffer death for their crimes.
The Freie Presse says: 1t is an insult to
the German voters to ask them to repudi-
ate their fellow men on the School Board
ticket and vote them down. Thev will do
nothing of the kind, but will by a full vote
secure beyond doubt the election of the
German candidates.
Yesterdays Abend Post says: Our DEM
ocratic colleagues of the press are mex
haustible in discovering Democratic Presi-
Dental candidates. Tilden, Hendricks,
Thurman, Payne, Seymour, Jewett,
Fields, Palmer, Hancock, Groesbeck, Bay
ard, Pendleton, and Heaven knows who
else are being mentioned. 1t is Loves
Labor Lost.
