Rafuey's Rejection.

The value of Radical professions for
the colored man and brother was con-
clusively settled in the caucus. on Satur-
day when Mcpherson, a veritable party
hack, was given the Clerkship of the
House over RaineY, the colored ex-
Congressman from South Carolina. Two
years ago, when there was no possibility
of Rainey's election, he was given the
barren honor of the Radical nomination
for the same position, and the organs
We'd with each other in praise of the per
Torrance. On Saturday, when a nomi-
nation was equivalent to election, Rainey
was coolly slaughtered.
True, fair proportion of votes were
cast for him and he was let down gently,
but it would have been far more honest
to have told him emphatically that the
party had no use for him, which was the
secret of the-matter. The party has put
itself squarely on the record in rejecting
a man who two years ago was its unani-
nous choice for the high station Of clerk
of the lower house of Congress. His
ability was conceded, and if he deserved
the place when he could not get it, he
certainly merited it when the party could
have raised him to it. He is the same
Rainey now as then, and the party is the
same, but on Saturday it was supplied
with a full hand and played it, while
two years ago it was short and played
the Rainey trick for all it was worth.
We are sorry for Rainey, but he should
have been wiser. To his people his cruel
rejection is a valuable lesson. For, If a
representative colored man, abundantly
qualified for the position he seeks, aud
backed by previous aattering endorce-
ment, is to be set aside that a veteran at
the crib may be provided for. it is time
for the colored voters to weigh the cost
of devotion that is used for selfish ends
in the hazards of political warfare, but
ignored in the bestowal of the rewards
of its victories.

The animal report of Colonel S. d.
Maxwell, Superintendent of the Cincin-
natl Chamber of Commerce, shows the
cotton movement for the year to have
been the best in the history of the city.
The receipts aggregated 1851 bales,
against 312,319 for the previous year.
The shipments amounted to 318,003, as
against 30S, GIG the previous year. The
average quotations for the year for
middling cotton was 1927 cents per
pound, compared with 11.6S in 1879 so
and 10.43 in 1850 The average for
ordinary in the past year was 7.59, in
comparison with 9.64; good ordinary
s SO, compared with 1856; low middling
1917, in comparison with 1927;
middling 1897, compared with 11.6S.
good middling 11.5O, in comparison
with 1905; middling fair 1881, COM
pared with 1896; fair 1894, in compari-
son with 1852.
The report recommends additional in
vestments of capital in the business of
cotton handling, and the increase of
warehouse and other facilities. Great
hopes are entertained of the Southern
Railroad, but the paucity Of cotton fac
tories in proportion to the city's advan-
tages is dwelt upon, and the Importance
of further enterprise enforced.

Canadian Annexation.

The annexation of Canada to the
United States is a matter which is once
again being discussed. At a recent
speech at Toronto Sir John A. Macdon-
aid made an earnest speech in favor of
annexation, saying: Canada must be-
long either to the British system or the
American system. Here we are with
four and half million people, lying
alongside of ifty-fve millions. The
most unhappy position in which nation
can be placed, the most crushing to Its
energies and its intellect, the most de-
structive to its prosperity, is that of liv-
ing next door to and at the sufferance of
a powerful neighbOr. Look at Eu-
rope, and you see the position which
small nations occupy. Look at Belgium
aud Holland, Belgium trembling for fear
France will take her, and Holland in
fear of Germany. There is no spirit, there
is almost hopelessncss, in those coun-
tries. And l say, looking at the ques-
ton of independence, that if we had to
make a choice between independence
and annexation, 1 would rather that we
should have annexation and join with
the United States at once, than be here a
small nation, a dependent nation, obliged
to raise the phantom of an army and
navy, obliged to have foreign ambassa-
doris at an enormous expense, and after
a brief existence to be absorbed as Texas
and California were absorbed, and as
Mexico will be absorbed"

AT meeting of the New England Cot
ton Manufacturers Association, held in
Boston on Wednesday, Mr.. Carey, of
Philadelphia, spoke of the kind recep-
ton the delegation received at the hands
of the people of Atlanta, and said they
found the most complete and extensive
exhibition ever seen in this country,
except the Centennial at Philadelphia.
Mr.. Edward Atkinson said that he had
no doubt there were areas in the South
with natural advantages for manufactur-
ing purposes, still, on account of climate
and other conditions, he had no fears Of
competition in manufactures on the part
of the South. Mr.. Atkinson will come
to understand the adaptation of our eli
mate for cotton manufacturing better
after awhile.

The Forty Eighth COngress-Will the
President Show his Hand!


To-day the Forty eighth Congress as
sembles in Washington, and will organize
with that galvanized Republican, David
Davis. in the chair of the Senate, and
with that lifetime Republican, James
W. Keller, of Ohio, in the chair of the
House. Thus the Republicans will have
control of both houses for the next two
years, and will be responsible for legisla-
ton during that period. 1t is comfort
ing TO reflect, however, that they will be
powerless for harm, for the Democrats,
fortunately, are in very large minority,
and should any of the old timed Radical
unconstitutional legislation be attempted
they will be able to thwart it by success
full filibustering.
The most interesting matter COM ted
with the assembling of Congress to-day
will be the reception and reading of the
Presidents message. Heretofore, with
the exception of the very reprehensible
course he pursued in giving aid and COM
fort to the Malone movement in Vir-
ginia-thereby giving the endorsement
and sanction of the National Govern
ment to the dangerous cause of repudia-
tion-Mr. Arthur has neither said nor
done anything upon which an intelligent
opinion as to his future policy might be
based, and, in consequence, that policy
has been the subject of considerable
speculation.
After his message shall have been
made public to-day, however, he will
have, to considerable degree at least,
shown his hand, and the country can
then form some idea as to what tone he
contemplates giving to his administra-
ton. We greatly fear, from his politi-
cal antecedents and associations, from
what he has done in Virginia, and from
the fact that Grant is standing so near
the Executive chair, that he will be, like
Guiteau, "a stalwsrt Of the stalwarts. "
Still in this we may-and we certainly
hope we will-be agreeably disap-
pointed. Mr.. Arthur has now opening
before him an opportunity to make
proud and enviable name for himself
as a patriot and as a statesman by taking
and maintaining the unfiinching determi-
nation to be no sectional or partisan Ex
ecutive, but a President of the whole
country, and he may have sagacity
enough TO seize upon it. If he does we
can assure him of one fact, and that is
that the South will be as heartily ready
to stand by his administration, as it
showed itself ready to support that
of the lamented Garfield, simply because
he, although a bitter Radical before he
became President, after that event
showed disposition to act fairly and
justly towards this section. And though,
at this particular time, the political
power of the South amounts to but little
in the country at large, still she is a sec
ton of wonderfully great possibilities,
and her support and good will cannot
wisely be despised.
Since writing the above we have learn
ed by telegraph that perhaps the Presi-
dents message may not be delivered I'M
til tomorrow, on account of the delay
which is anticipated will be experienced
in the organization of the House

David Davis and charles ]. GuIteau.


'aThe Republican party is an extraordi-
nary organization" said David Davis
under oath on Saturday. Considering
the delicate relations between Mr.. Davis
and the extraordinary organization,
this was an extraordinarily bold utter
ance. Although Mr.. Davis had all the ad-
jectives in the language at his command.
and might have better described the
Organization, in view of his peculiar
position extraordinary" is good.
If any proof were needed of the fact
which he affirmed, the audience that
heard him could have found it in him
self and the prisoner at the bar-for of
all the extraordinary products Of Radi-
calism the two most extraordinary are
David Davis and Charles ]. Guiteau. 1t
may be questioned whether the world
ever saw two greater cyclists, to put it
with propriety or, in popular phrase, two
individuals possessed of such colossal
cheek Guiteau decreed himself
the savior of Radicalism and through
it Of the nation, and Davis
feels that he is the safety valve of the
republic. Guiteau's delusion was most
baneful, while Davis is harmless, but
one has as solid foundation as the other,
and they differ only in degree.
No one would venture to style the
ponderous nlinoisan "crank," while
many are persuaded that Guiteau is
hopeless one. But however Guiteau was
in other things, in politics he was con-
sistent, and measured by the present
standard of 'higher lavish" he is con-
fessedly orthodox. Davis has, on the
contrary, been so Eighty that he has rare
lY known where he stood since he be-
came possessed of the delusion of his self
importance. A year ago he was. from
his utterances, pronounced Democrat;
six months later he was the only sincere
patriot in the Senate, and held aloof from
either party at his will. To-day he per-
forms lip service for Radicalism; but if
he has any convictions they are for David
Davis. and not for the party he serves.
Scoville promises to make clear why
Davis was put on the stand. For the
alleged purpose he was valuable, being
most unwilling witness" as Sergeant
Buzfuz would phraze it. He is, doubt
less, fair judge of the vitality of the
great parties, and it is interesting to
each to learn, much as he would desire
the contrary, that there is no immi-
nent risk of the immediate collapse of
either before the other. But it was
dangerous step for Scoville to exhibit
Davis to the jury. Mr.. Davis is wofully
cranky politically, and yet he is as sane as
the sanest. Guiteau sets up for crank,
and outside of his professed inspiration
is as level-headed as any of his jurors
The prosecution may not take the
trouble to note the analogy between the
acrobatic statesman and the prisoner at
the bar, but the jury may draw it, and if
they do, it will be bad for Guiteau.

There is little hope for republican
form of government in Rhode Island,
but the oligsrchy which rules that State
is making a little progress in the right
direction. 1t is actually considering the
proposition TO allow honorably discharg-
ed Union soldiers to vote at elections,
even if they do not own real estate. The
time may yet come when a well-behaved
and intelligent foreign-born citizen of
Rhode Island will have the rights and
privileges enjoyed by a rascally aud
ignorant natie-VbOrn one.
