A White Mans Government.
Harrisburg Patriot.

The New York Tribune, and several
other able Republican journals, take eX-
ceptions to a remark said to have been
made by Senator George, of Mississippi,
in the debate on the anti Chinese bill in
the Senate, on Monday, to the effect that
''this is a white mans government" A
great deal of virtuOus indignation is ex-
pended by the Republican editors upon
the unfortunate Senator from Mississip-
pi. and he is denounced and ridiculed as
a Bourbon who has utterly failed to note
the progress cf political events in this
country. We have net read the speech
which is made the text of the
Republican criticism of Senator
George, but venture the guess that
the argument was not that this ought
to be. but that it is, IN fact, ga white
mans government" 1t is certainly not
a negro government. White men fill the
offices. white men make the laws at
washington and at every State capital,
white men sit on the judicial bench and
white men command the army and navy
Not single negro to-day sits IN either
house of Congress, neT has any negro
ever been sent to Congress IFom any
of the Northern Republican States.
True, the negro has the right OF SUI
frage and is, generally speaking, an
excellent and Obedient serf to the
Republican managers. He does yeo-
man service at every election and so
enables a minority of the white men
of the country tG govern the majority of
their race, and the negroes to boot, But
as for the actual governing, the making
and execution of the laws, the office
holding. the salary drawing, the enjoy
ing of political perquisites, ETC., the
African has not yet come to be regarded
by the Republican party as. a man and
brother. We, therefore, fail TO see any
reason tor the roaring and snoruns an
dignation manifested by the Republlcan
editors over the remark attributed to the
Mississippi Senator. If that gentle
man did cay, as is reported, that this
is "a white mans government,
he simply declared the truth
as it is in the gospel OF ofhcehOlding Re
publicanism. When the Republican par
ty shall recognize the political equality
Of the races, by refusing to discriminate
against the black man Ia its nominating
conventions and in appointments to Of
fee, when the negro voting power which
keeps the Republicans in Office in every
Northern State shall be represented by
negroes in Congress aud the State Legis-
latures, the Republican journals may
with some show of decency and consist
encF claim that this is not "a white
mans government" Until then they
should modestly keep silent on that sub
iect.
