In appointing negro policemen, the

that Mayor King has been playing the
same sort OF trick on the .Philadel-
phia "Stalwarts' that Lord Beacons-
field and other Of the more astute
Tory leaders in England have for the
last three quarters OF century been
in the habit of playing on the so called
Liberals. This trick is to push
through, to a practical conclusion, as
a Tory measure, some inevitable re-
form which the Liberals have been
fighting shy of. The Telegraph goes
on in this wicked way:
For the last sixteen years or more
your "Stalwarts" have been strenu-
ously contending that the newly eman-
cipated slaves of the Southern planta-
tons were the properest persons in
the Southern States to fill the public
Offices and to control the government
machinery. The true "Stalwart
theory is that, while the colored man
is good enough for an oficeholder in
South Carolina, and the white South

cacy-to say the least of it-in his
