A CHANGE.
THE MANSION 10 Be ENLARGED

On and after the first day of
January, 1884, the ARKANSAS
MANSION will be enlarged from a
seven column to an eight column
folio, with a beautiful new head
and almost an entire new dress,
which will give five columns ad-
ditional reading matter and will
enable US to keep close up with
everything that transpires.
In consequence Of this change
we certainly will incur more ex-
pense; therefore, all those who
subscribe and pay for the MANSION
one year in advance, on or before
the first day of January, will get
it at the present price-$1.50 per
year--but after the first day of
January. 1884, our subscription
price for the MANSION will be
raised from $50 to $500 per
annum--invariably in advance.
So all who wish to get the benefit
of the low price for almost double
the reading matter, will send in
their subscriptions at once by
Post Office Note, or call in person
at the Office, 719 Main street, up
stairs, Little Rock, Arkansas.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

Two very remarkable meetings
have just been held in this city,
one at the Congregational church
on Friday night of last week and
the other at Wesley Chapel on
Monday night of this week.
The leading speakers were
Henry f Brown, of the Inter
! national Young Mems Christian
Association work. He was as
sisted by Rev's Emory, Sims,
Phillips, Elder Smith. Judge
Gibbs, DR. Smith, Prof's Fry. Ish,
and others.
Great interest, even to the
point of enthusiasm. was devel-
oped in speakers and audience.
| The leading points made by
the speakers We're substantially
as follows:
l. The time has come for an
advance in the educational insti
tutions among the colored peo-
pie.
2. The preparation of teachers
and preachers has very properly
occupied chief attention in the
beginning, but other avocations
should now receive help from the
schools.
3. Young men should now be
encouraged to enter our public
schools and graduate from our
colleges, that they may thereby
be qualified to enter a profession
al school Of the trades.
4. We sorely need skilled
workmen to plan and erect our
homes, to develop our natural
resources, to build and operate
engines, factories. machine shops
and the like. and to train our
children in all the skilled opera
tons of this advancing age.
5. Mr. Brown has talked with
a large number of governors. su-
perintendents of education, pres
idents of colleges, editors, bish-
ops, pastors, students, mechanics
and capitalists in all parts of the
south, concerning the need Of
there being Immediately estab-
lishcd at some central point In
the south, u professiona. school
Of the trades, open to all gradu-
ates of our higher institutions,
He finds 80 strong desire for
such an institution that he is
confident that the necessary
means and men will not be want
ing.
Editors throughout the coun-
try are invited to express their
opinion of the need of such an
institution and to send marked
copy Of their paper to Henry f.
Brown, Obcrlin, Ohio.

In an intervie " with an Afro

In an interview with an Afro
American reporter few days ago,
Col w A Pledger, Of Ga, on the
object of his calling the National
Executive Committee together
He said:
"Our main object will be to
adopt if possible some policy that
will create a more favorable sen.
timent in the south among south
ern land owners, and the powers
that be in the different southern
states by which those rights that
are claimed to have been denied
US may be secured. We want al
so to secure such legislation by
congress as will give national aid
to the cause OF education gener.
ally, and especially in the south,
where the per centage of illitera-
cy is greatest, and to have the
people who lost so heavily by the
Freedmen's Saving Bank REIN
bursed.
"What will be the political
pc licy Of the committee =
"That [ can not say but one
thing is certain, and that is,
that there will be such a policy
adopted as will bring about either
favorable recognition by both
parties in their national platforms
and cause thereby a division OF
the colored vote, or else we will
receive it from one party and will
be unit for the party that will
give us that consideration due
us as freemen.

The supreme court of the Unit
ed States in the case Of Cunning,
ham vs. The Macon and Bruns-
wick railroad holds that the SOW
ereign state OF Georgia cannot be
made party defendant to a suit.
This may be and doubtless is
very good law, but it is rank in
justice and Is calculated to teach
dishonesty. A sovereign state
has no right Gn strict equity to
hide herself behind baby act.
Justice Field and Justice Harlan
dissent.-Little Rock Democrat.
Yes, and it will be hereafter
observed that Justice Harlan and
Field are both democratic justi-
ces and will be found dissenting
from the various decisions of the
of the court.

Gentlemen of the Democratic
party, look at these figures and
study them carefully and prayer
fully. They are the votes of the
states in the caucus that nomin.
ated Mr. Carlisle, and they are the
states that we must have to elect
a president:
Connecticut-Carlisle 0: Ran.
dali 3; Cox 0. .
New Jersey-Carlisle 0: Ran,
dali 3; Cox 0.
New York-Carlisle 0: Ran
dali 7: Cox 13.
Ohio-Carlisle ,; Randall g.
Cox 5.--Little Rock Democrat.
Then you give up the idea OF
getting a democratic president t,
as these votes represent their con-
stituencies.

The following is an extract
from President Arthur's message,
promulgated to the country De-
cember 3, 1888:
"The Fourteenth am endment
of the constitution confers the
rights Of citizenship upon all per
sons born Or naturalized in the
United States and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof 1t was the
special purpose Of this amend
ment to insure members OF the
colored race the full enjoyment of
their civil and political rights,
Certain statutory provisos intend :
ed to secure the enforcement of
these rights have been recently
declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court. Any legislation
whereby congress may lawfully
supplement the guarantees which
the constitution affords for the
equal enjoyment by all citizens Of
the United States, OF every right,
privilege and immunity Of citi-
zenship, will receive my unhesl-
tating approval.
In our opinion supplementary
bill giving the states concurrent
jurisdiction, or allowing the ag
grieved parties to elect the court
before which they are to be tried,
will settle the whole matter.

we shall believe-the eight judges

Matt Carpenter, one of the great.
est jurists of American jurispru-

rant for the presidency, corrobor-
ated by Col. Ingersoll an aspirant

who claims to be an infidel versed

the freedmen OF the south have
been remanded to slavery or their
former condition, as Justice Har-
Ian says that such legislation Is a
badge of servitude and inferiority.
The decision of the court says it
is not a badge of servitude and has
nothing to do with race or color,
but leaves every man an American
