THE TRUE POLITICAL POLICY FOI
 M f1

THE TRUE POLITICAL POLICY FOR
 THE NEGROES.
 Some of the colored men who aspire to be leaders of their brethren and who may not be unwilling to accept office for themselves have lately been proclaiming that it will be necessary for the negroes to band firmly to- gether and to vote "solidly" if they expect to be properly represented among the office holders of this great and glorious country. This is plausible advice, but before the ne- groes take it they had better think awhile Mir. Frederick Douglass is negro who has won for himself high place and the respect of all who know him. What he has done for himself has reflected credit upon his race. MT. Douglass does not join in urging the negroes to band themselves together to extort consideration by political bargaining, or rank himself with those who consider that the race would be elevated by the be- stowal of office upon themselves as its repre- sentatives, and without any other claim. On the contrary, he recognizes that the most fatal and injurious policy that could possibly be adopted by the colored people of the United States would be that of clannishness and the exhibition of mercenary or selfish politics without regard to principle. In a speech at Washington on the celebration of the anniversary of the Emancipation proc- lamation, he announced the proper policy of the race as follows Assimilation. not iso- lation, is our true policy and natural destiny. Unifcation for us is life; separation is death We cannot afford to set up for ourselves a ,1alifioo1 he aR fellow. citizens
 The policy recommended by MT. Douglass we believe to be the true one. Any other is folly. AS the Providence Journal well says: The eolored people are to remain a part of the body polite, separate and distinct by the laws of nature in inherited characteristi cs, but equal in all privileges and opportunities for development. For the obliteration as far as possible of the natural difference, and the equal and easy living of the two distinct races together, everything that draws the color line one side or the other should be done away with. In simple terms, no one should be elected to office or given any other special consideration on account of his color, and no one should be debarred for the same reason If the negroes have to complain of some lingering prejudice, it will be simply intensified by clannishness and mercenary politics. To become band of Swiss mer- cenaries, voting on one side or the other just in as they receive offices, promises or fattery, is to earn contempt as we'll as enmity, and perpetuate prejudices by i'm patience which can only be relieved by the slow growth of respect.

The National Christian association is first in the field with presidential ticket for 1884. It bears the names of the Rev. Jonathan Blanchard, of Illinois, for president and John A. Conant, of Connecticut, for vice presi- dent, The platform of the association de- mands the abolition of the Electoral college and a direct vote for president and vice pres dent, the recognition of the Sabbath, the prohibition of the manufacture or sale of in- toxicating liquors, the revocation of the char ters of all secret lodges granted by our Fed eral or State legislatures, and the preserva ton of civil equality inviolate as secured to all American citizens under the amendments to the Constitution. It favors the settlement of differences with foreign nations by arbi- tration and discourages land monopolies It also calls upon the government to furnish the people with ''an ample and sound currency" and to maintain the public credit, protect all loyal citizens, and do justice to the Indians, as being essential to the honor and safety of our nation

It is said and quite generally believed that Thigh icense'' makes those who hold i- censes detectives to prevent sales without g license. But prominent saloon keeper Is reported as saying that he could not afford to pursue the unlicensed dealers around him. because they were supported by powerful rectifers and wholesale dealers whom he was unwilling to offend. Even if he were pay ing $500 or $1 1000 for license he would not complain of those who paid no fee and sold liquid poison because of the political infiu- in the wholesale business. He declared that other dealers of his grade would be restrain ed in the same way, so that while heavy fee would cut down their profits it would not protect them.

The Abbe Moigno has written preface to NJ. Lecointre's Champagne de Noise pour la sortie d'Egypte," in which he advocates the formation a of joint-stock company, with the view of exploring the bottom of the Red Sea, and especially the bitter water lakes. In German account of the project it is de- scribed as lone of the boldest." ''It is noth- ing less," continues the writer, 'than to search the bottom of the Red Sea to discover there the proof of that great event narrated by Moses three thousand years ago. Buried in the masses of salt of the Bitter Lakes, concealed at different places by thick beds of salt, these historical remains are perhaps in g state of preservation unexpected by us. The Abbe estimates the cost of the excava- ton at 300, ,O0O francs.

The new departure of JORDAN
 MARSH x CO.,, in giving up thei1
 Wholesale Business and devoting their entire time to the demands Hshment has been inauguarated by a Colossal Sale of Dry Goods, ag- gregating $2.5OO.OOO in value.
 In giving up the wholesale de- partment, the easiest and most profitable way for us would have been to have made slight mark down and closed out the stock to our wholesale customers. Instead of doing this we saw the opportun- ity to show the people of New Eng land that we appreciate their pat during the last twenty-five years. and decided to remove the stock to our retail es- and give the people the whole benefit of cost prices, having cut off the manufacturers', jobbers' and retailers profits. This is a mark-down of 25 per cent. in all cases, and 50 per cent. in many, from the prices at which these goods are selling to-day.
 Bear in mind the fact that these goods are al1new and fresh, as they were selected expressly for our spring trade, and they are of such an infinite variety and extent that the wants of all classes of people in all conditions of life can be met, at prices which are not likely to be duplicated in the lifetime of this generation.
 The sale was begun on Monday, April 16, and we have such a tre- mendOus crush every day that all of our out Of-toWn customers who can make their purchases between $ and 10 a. m. will find it a much moro convenient time for making their selections than later in the day. Orders bymail will be prompt ly filled, when received before the lots are all sold.

The butter trade, at least that part of it done in Vermont, is somewhat demoralized. The Montpelier (Vermont) Argus says that hundreds of thousands of dollars worth cf butter that had been held by dealers and farmers, with the hope of forcing the price to a higher figure, was thrown on the market the first of February te be disposed of before April l. This, of course, made a break in the market, and old butter has got down to a ruinously low figure. Not being willing to sell for 10 to 12 cents per pound what cost them an average of 8 cents, dealers held until now, and it is a rare thing to obtain 10 cents pound for old stock. It is estimated that Boston dealers and parties shipping to Boston will lose from $500, GOO to $750, 900. There was decrease in the demand for ex- port and the demand from the far west was, in measure, cut off on account of home pro duction. It is estimated that there are now 5000 tubs of old butter held by the farmers of northern Vermont that might have been sold last season for from 30 to 35 cents per pound, but which now is slow to sell in Bos- ton at ten cents per pound, while every week of warm weather Iessens it's value.

The Apaches are less popular in Mexico aid witnessed at Chihuahua the reception of party of ranchmen who had been out hunt ing Apaches. The ranchmen got word from the Mayor that on Sunday he would receive them in the plaza At the appointed hour quiet was disturbed by changing of the bells in the cathedral towers, and vast crowds rushed pell nell toward the square Behind 8 band of music came thirty horsemen, who were the victorious ranchmen. Each car- ried the rifles and revolvers he had used, and hanging to the saddles were the other arms that had been employed in the battles with the Apaches. Eight men on foot held long poles, from which dangled the scalps of as many hated Apaches. When the people saw these they became frantic with delight Bra vos resounded on all sides. women waved their handkerchiefs, and the long line of ex- cited gazers rocked to and fro with enthusi- asm, and applauded until they were exhaust ed But hardly had the scalp bearers passed before there came the squaws that had been taken. The minute these bare headed, dirty, hsrd-faced women were seen, the cheering and waving began again, while the boys pressed hard against the guards to strike at the wives of those who had killed and tor tured their people. Some of the prisoners held in their arms, and securely bound to fiat,
