The Edmunds Bill.

The bill OF Senator Edmunds TO further
protect the civil rights Of colored citizens
was introduced almost Immediately after
the Senate was ready for business. 1t IS
doubtful If the interests Of the cOlored
people viii be advanced by this or any
other bill Of the same character. since
the late civil rights decision Of the United
States Supreme Court there have been no
complaints by the colored people that tneIr
rights were denied them. They recognized
the fact that they were no longer the
wards Of the government. and that Win
respect 10 the laws they stood on an
aaual footing with white citizens. The
effect Of this knowledge was to increase
their selEreliance and self-respect. The
bin Of Senator Edmunds promises them
little or nothing. If the bill becomes a
law they viii have the privilege, If they
thfnkthev cannot get justice in a state
court. Of transferring their cases TO aFed-
eral Circuit Court. and Of appealing from
that court, without giving bond. TO the
United states Supreme Court. The OBJ
iections to the bill are that it is useless,
and that there ought to be no such thing
as class legislation. The cOlored people
are citizens and there ought to be no laws
which distinguish them from other citi-
zens. The bill, probably, is not intended
so much TO advance the interests Of the
coIored people as it is to strengthen the
hold Of the Republican party on the col
ored voters. 1t is alleged that the colored
voters hold the balance Of power in two or
three Of the Northern States. If that is
the case they are worth looking after.
As far as the colored people are con-
cerned it would be much better for them
if the politicians would let them alone.
They do not need any protection from the
government or from the laws which is not
accorded to white people. What they
want to be made to understand is that
their advancement and improvement de-
ponds on themselves. In this State they
have no cause TO complain Of anything
They enjoy every civil right which any
citizen enjoys. 4 number Of
them. were witnesses before Senator
Blair's labor committee in Columbus last
month. They spoke freely Of the present
ent condition and prospects of their race
They said that those who were honest, in
dustrious and economical not only lived
comfortably, but accumulated property
/ There was no discrimination against then
/ in business. ana those who worked al
| trades received the same wages and were
/ employed as readily as white men engag
ed in the same occupations. The coloreC
people will work out the problem Of thell
| future much more quickly and satisfac
torily if the politicians Will let them alone

Where They Came From.

The claim having been made that the
great West owes its enterprise and great
development to the fact that a majority of
the people of the Western States are OF
New England descent, has put some in
vestigators to work delving in the census
records in order to ascertain the true
facts of the case. There are to-day twice
as MANY Virginians in Ohio as there are
people from all six of the New England
States. and the Southern States con-
tributed five times as much to the popula-
ton of that State as New England. or
the American born people OF Ohio 80 per
cent. are of Southern origin. 1t will be
seen that the South is pretty well repre-
scented, and of course a large part OF the
people are with the South in sentiment.
The proportion is much larger in other
Western States, even extending 10 Call
fornia and Oregon. In Oregon half of the
American-born people are from the South,
or descendants of Southerners, and in
Kansas twO-ffths.
To Texas, the phenomenal State OF
States, New England has only furnished
little over 1000 people, and all the North
ern States only about $4,000, while the
Southern States have sent her consldera-
| bly, over half a million. This shows
whether or not Texas owes her great
prosperity to Northern immigration and
enterprise.
Although many thousands OF foreign
! immigrants have come to America in the
last half century, an Overwhelmingly
large proportion Of our people are native
born. If we will consider the immense
| expanses of wilderness that have been
settled up and grown into prosperous
States In the past sixty years, the asser-
ton that we are not prolific people will
be forever put to rest. Thousands upon
| thousands have gone Westward from Nir-
| ginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, and yet
with scarcely any influx of people from
elsewhere, the population of these States
has maintained a steady growth. Surely
they are keeping the commandment to
'multiply and replenish the earth"

The Protection worshipers.

Ae1C YORK Ieh1eS hep.}.
Is protection, then, a fetch? Does worship
at Its shrine deprive men of all common sense
and business foresight? Must community
that has once accepted it abandon all thought
of change and become forever Incapacitated
to accommodate itself to those laws according
to which change is the inevitable condition
and the essential cause Of prosperity? 1t Is
sheer nonsense to talk of Mr.. Carlisle as a
radical free trader. 1t is as silly and about
as honest as it was to present him as rabid
Southerner because he lives in a town just
south of Cincinnati.

that without New York the Democrats are

Of which there is a record, was 81, 900,
which he beat out of Mr.. Victor New
comb, the ex-railroad king. The General,
as is usual with him, was feeling around
for pointers, and Mr.. NewcOmb expressed
the opinion that Louisville and Nashville
offered a good chance for speculation.
Grant bought 1000 shares atpar, but, con-
trary to all expectation, it soon dropped
to IS. The General notified Newcomb
promptly that he was greatly surprised at
the result of his investment, whereupon
the latter drew a check for the par value
Of the stock, and thus shouldered the loss
above stated.

LUdfdNGpOtlS cDcCtu+.
The Hon. Joseph Z. Mcdonald, In an
interview upon the election OF MI. Car
Isle, says:
Il am greatly pleased over the election
of Mr.. Carlisle. He is a safe, conserVa-
tive man, who does not hold extreme
views"
'swhat is his position on the tariff ques-
tion?"
"He is in favor of a tariff for revenue,
and in favor of such protection as tnat
tariff gives to the industries OF the coun-
try. He is not in favor of an immediate
adoption or free trade, but In favor OF
tariff reform. the reform to be made with
out damaging the business Of the country.
Tariff for revenue, with incidental proOa-
ton. expresses it. There is no question
but that in reforming the tarl1 there must
be an accommodation to the business OF
the country, so that no disasters may lOl-

SIS there any connection between the
election of Mr.. Carlisle and the Demo-
cratic victories since 1SSOF'
'Mr. Carlisle's election is due to the
same causes that brought about those VIC
tories.''
"Then, if the Democrats in 1884 should
go into the Presidential campaign upon a
platform in harmony with Mr.. Carlisle's
position on the tariff, do you think they
would win!'
81 most certainly do"
''What is Mr.. Carlisle's attitude on the
question of taxing liquor and tobacco|
''He is in favor of maintaining the taxes
for the present"
''What about the Republican cry that
Mr.. Carlisle is a Southern manP'
II think the time is past for bringing
into the consideration OF mans worthl-
ness for position the matter of the sec
ton in which he may chance to reside,

ton was a union man during the war, as
Mr.. Carlisle was"
''The Democrats have, then, thrown
down the gage of battle to the Republi-
cans on the tariff question:"
''They have. That is to say, the Demo
Gratis are opposed to protection for the

The neutrality-suspicious. Case.

The Democrats acted wisely in not adj
hitting Mr.. Manning, Of Mississippi, to
seat before TIE Committee on Elections
had made preliminary examination of
the record in the Manning-Chalmers case.
The case is, in many respects, remarka-
BILE. and has attracted the attention OF the
whole country. Dir. Manning holds the
certificate Of election from the Governor,
and had he chosen to present it to Mr..
Mcpherson, the Clerk, he would have
been placed on the roll of the House and
would have taken his seat without any
question as to his right to it until the
matter came before the House in the shape
Of a contest. The case has so many pecu-
liar features. however, and he was so de-
sirous Of giving his opponent every oppor-
| tunity to have a fair and Impair
| tial hearing, that he refused to
| file his certificate. He wanted
the Elections Committee to say whether
or not he had prima fdcie right to seat
in the House before occupying it. The
merits Of the case may not be, and
probably will not be, settled until the lat
ter part Of next session. The general i'm
preston is that Chalmers received ma
/ i0rity Of the votes cast in the district.
There was a mistake in certifying the re-
suit Of the election in one county to the
Secretary OF state. The effect of the mis-
take. which could not be corrected, was
to make it the Governors imperative
duty to give the certificate to Mr.. Man.
ming. 1t is understood, however, that
Mr.. Manning has evidence to show that
the majority Of the votes Of the district
were cast for him. If he is able to do that
he will. of course, be able to hold his seat.
| The case is certain to attract a great deal
Of attention when 1t is considered on its
r,lnrfts
