man could not be denied pity. His clothes

Every Evenings Independence" )"


Our afternoon contemporary. the Emery
Evening does us an injustice when it i'm
agines that we desire to njure it in business
sense, or indeed in any sense. We certainly
should be very sorry to hurt it in any man
ner. 1t also makes a mistake when 1t de-
clares that it suits us to question its indie
pendenee. We have no desire to question It's
Independence and have not done SO. We said
That itwas amusingly " independent" +" using
the quotation marks merely to imply that
its independence was of a type peculiarly its
own and not to be coufounded with the
commonplace quality of political inle-
pendence about which we hear so mach
but see so little. To be more explicit let us
relate story. Once there was an Irishman
who CHANGED along the public road just In
time to see the beginning of free
light between two of his friends. After
quietly observing the contest for few min
utes the idea occurred to him that In order
to yindicate his position as a disinterested
spectator and prevent each of his friends from
harhoing the suspicion that he was silently
sympatizing with the other, he ought to
'dhC an HphTbldl udnu IN the sgrlm-
mage. So he pitched In and belabored
first one and then the other with great i'm
partiality, and without any regard whatever
to the merits of the quarrel. The result was
that as each Nan felt the licks that were
given him, but had too much business on
hand to see those that were given his op-
ponent, our Irishman made two enemies
instead of retaining two friends.
The lrishman's course fairly illustrates
E"ery EDeaitg's method of sustaining its
position as an independent paper. 1t
recklessly whaeks at first one party and
then the other, frequently without rhyme or
reason, and is SO intent on displaying its
lack of partsanship that very often
IL Is really binder to the merits of any
question at issue than those papers which
IN the abundance of its wisdom 1t regards as
absurdly PARTISAN" We hope it will NOT
lose any friends by this course, but we fear
that in the very nature of things it cannot
be otherwise. 1t is its own affair, how.
ever, and nome of ours, and what we have
said has been simply in the way of snpport

Eduente the Negro.

The complete proof of the argument
used by Mr.. Bates at the Opera House on
Friday night to the effect that the more
educated and intelligent the negroes became
the less votes the Republican party would
have, is to be found in the fact that wherever
in the South the negroes have risen
TO some degree of knowledge of
public affairs just in that proportion
have the Republican party lost their support.
1t is fact beyond dispute that wherever
you find Democratic negro, and there are
to-day lots of them throughout the Southern
States, you will find an intelligent negro.
Statistics of general illiteracy, as prevailing
In the several States, have no bearing upon
the question. They are due to causes
that had their origin in the curse
Of slavery and for which the
Democratic party of to-day is no more re-
sponsble than Adam. On the contrary,
since the negroes of the country constitute
the bulk OF our illiterate population, the
Republican party,b reason of its monstrouc
blunder of enfranehising the colored man
hard upon his emancipation, has done more II
perpetuate the illiteracy of the country thar
all the other causes ignorance and prejudic,
combined. wise course of grudua
enfranchisement founded upon educationa
qualifications would, within ten years iron
the date of the Proclamation of Emancipa
tion, have done more to elevate the negr,
than fifty years Of the political bondage
upon which he entered at the close of thu
war, But in that case the Republican part,
would long ago have become party of tn
past. Therefore, let us by all means in Gu
power educate the negro. 1t is right, an,

Colfax and the Tramp.
New York SUM-


One sunny forenoon Schuyler Colfax
was leaning over the back gate waiting
patiently for the call of his country.
He had Just found crocus in the flower
bed. His heart was full of spring, and it
seemed to him that in the general revivi-
fication he, too, might have chance.
There approached Schuyler wayfarng
citizen who wore one shoe and one split
boot.
General" said the stranger, could
you give hungry man nickel?"
1 will willingly give you nickel, .
said Schuyler, blandly, ''but | am not a
General. My career has been that of a
statesman"
''Thats it," said the tramp. "You
show it in your face.
Tell me, my friend" continued
Schuyler, handing over, not nickel, but
a dime-syou mingle much with the
great world, and your profession leads
you to all the busy haunts of men-tell
me, as an observer of events, do you see
any signs of Colfax movement? Do
you hear any voices demanding the vim
dication of Schuyler Colfax?'
"Well," said the tramp, cautiously,
cycling first his boot and then his shoe,
perhaps l do see signs and hear voices;
and if it's worth anything to you to
know"
Schuyler gave the man half dollar
and invited him into the house.
Now, said he, after having provided
his guest with a square meal, "speak
without reserve. If you bring any mes
sage from the people of the United States
to veteran who, however he may
shrink from the onerous cares of office,
is still ready to obey the calls of duty
and serve his fellow citizens in any public
capacity, do not hesitate to impart it. !
am listening"
The tramp hesitated. ''There ain no
message as | know Of" said he, "but it
seems as if I'd heerd this Skullfax talked
about somewheres.
'That is to say" suggested Schuyler,
"while you are not charged with any
formal mission, you come on the part of
the people of thesUnited States to sound
me, to draw out an expression of my views
on public questions, to discover whether
am disposed to emerge from retirement
Proceed"
''Come to think" resumed the tramp.
ut aoas about Skullfax that | heerd
talk"
AT last y murmured Schuyler, rising
from his chair and pacing the floor in
great agitation. ''Fellow citizens, or
rather fellow citizen, | thank you for
this unexpected and unsought nomina-
ton. | should have preferred to remain
in the quieter walks of private life, to
which my taste, my years and my expe-
rience of the ingratitude of human kind
alike incline me; but this summons is
too imperative, to unanimous to be dis
regarded. Fellow citizen, or rather fell
low citizen, Schuyler Colfax is at the
service of his country"
The statesman sat down to write let
ter to the editor of the South Bend Tri-
6nne. while the tramp departed richer
by ten dollar bill.
g So that's Skullfax, soliloquized the
latter. 'It's curious how folks get
things mixed. thought from what
heard said about Skullfax that he was
servin' out sentence somewhere"
