CIVIL RIGHTS AND THE REPUBLIC
CAN PARTY

GAN PAhTT.
The Republican party passed civil rights
bill, knowing it to be unconstitutional.
The bosses and bummers of the party used
the unconstitutional law to attach more
closely to the party the negro vote OF the
country. The Republican party knowingly
and deliberately deceived the colored men
of America, lied to them, and crystalized
their lies into law. After eight years the
law got before Republican Supreme Court
partasanized for purposes as infamous as
ever corrupted the judiciary of any land
since Courts had an existence. This Repaid
lican Supreme Court tells the Republican
party, "You enacted lie and fraud. You
deceived the colored people. You defed
and degraded the Constitution, and now we
sweep away your refuge of lies" The col
Ored people comprehend in some measure to
what shameful extent they we're deceived.
and are turning away from the Republican
camp. The Republican organs have had a
hard time of it since this scheme of decep-
ton was laid bare by the Supreme Court
and they have sought in various ways to fire
the heart OF the colored men OF the
country, but with little success. The New
York Star says:
If this decision is wrong. the responsibility for
il rests with Republican Supreme Court. But
the decision is conceded by every able lawyer to be
the only one that could have been honestly and
intelIigently rendered. The various States can en-
act laws assuring his civil rights TO the colored
man. but we are not aware that any Republican
State has shown headlong haste atone for the
mistake of Congress. On the contrary the cob
cred man is assured OF more social equality under
the statutes of South Carolina to-day than under
those Of Ohio, Iowa or Massachusetts,.

years age for the lowest place on the Hamilton

Arrest of John w. Hunter on the Charge
of Completely i'm the Murder.
PEORIA, Ill Dec. 0. This evening about
10 o'clock a man was placed in Jail here
charged with the murder of Fora Burns, at
Lincoln.
The man making the arrest was Thomas J,
harrison, ex-Sheriff of Logan County, who is
understood 10 be working in the interest of
Orrin A. Carpenter, and the prisoner now in
the Peoria Jail is placed there under the
name of John W. Hunter. His aliases are
Thomas Russell and John Vance 1t was an
exceedingly difficult undertaking to find out
anything about the matter
In the month of November a letter was
sent to Lincoln. The man who wrote the
letter supposed he vas writing to the Prose
cutting Attorney there, but the letter was so
directed that it reached instead one of Car
penter's attorneys This letter was written
in such way as to constitute a blind and
induce the further and more vigorous prose
eution of Carpenter The substance of this
letter was a request to Carpenter to send that
500 10 a. Willingford, POstofice in Will
County. This letter was thought by Car
penter's attorneys to be blind to induce
more vigorous prosecution of their client,
and they turned the letter over to Harrison.
who. as a detective, was keeping guard over
Carpenters interest.
On the morning OF the Fora Burns muir
Ger a man answering Hunters description
bought shirt at a store in Lincoln. and on
a cuff wrote the name Vance. He was also
in Peoria at the time that Fora Burns and
Carpenter were registered at the Peoria
House, and it is even claimed that he was
the man registering under the name OF Car
penter, and that he was Zora's male COM
panion.
harrison was seen at a late hour, but abso-
lutely declined to give any information ex-
cept what was known to be false.
At last he was trapped into the admission
that be was really arrested in connection
with the Fora Burns tragedy.

MArRIMoNY MALADRoIT.

All over the land there is constant COM
plant about the frequency of divorce, Di-
vorce means unfortunate wedlock, bridal
blindness, nuptial nonsense, and all too
aften welded wickedness. To denounce d.
vorce is equivalent to opposing a surgical
operation where tumor is TO be removed or
lanced. What society needs is to be stirred
TO its profoundest depths in regard to mar
riages, which all the world knows is the re-
suit Of bargains-the highest bids-just as
stocks are sold on Change. Look you.
There is a beautiful maiden, the daughter of
rich parents, Goldfish aristocrats, watered
stock nobility, petroleum patrcans She is
for sale. The bids are opened, the contract
signed, and marriage a la mode is an
nounced. The ceremony and result is told
felicitously as follows:
"Oh, wilt thou take This form 50 spare
This powdered face and this frizzed hair,
To be thy welded wife:
And keep her free from labor vile,
Lest she her dainty fingers soil
And dress her up in gayest style
AS l,ng as thou hast life?''
81 will"
ran And wilt thou take these stocks and bonds.
To be thy husband dear?
And wilt thou in his carriage ride,
And DER his lordly home preside
Or be divorced while yet a bride,
Or ere single year,
u will"
"Ihen pronounce y6n man aud wife:
And with what I've together Joined
The next best man may run away
whenever he chance can find"
The people-common sense people-know
what will be the final outcome when the an
nouncement is made They look forward to
social earthquake. They take in at their
real value the press reports, toilets, flowers,
wedding presents, all the vulgar parade OF
what ought to be private matters; and in a
vast majority of cases predict with cruel
certainty what will be the result The mod
ern method of writing up weddings in "high
life" is to the last degree vulgar. A wedding
is eminently and prominently a personal
and private matter. As general PROPOSE
ton, the public care nothing about it. To
parade it, to detail all the incidents connect
ed with it, is TO enter the sanctum sanctorum
of domestic life and make its most sacred
secrets commonplace talk on the streets
and in the Clubs. while such things are GO
ing on, divorces may be expected. The
quiet of domestic life is not to be Ushered in
by such pyrotechnics and fusiiades and
when vulgar vanity usurps the domain OF
common sense catastrophes may be calcu-
lated with degree OF certainty over which
divofce-attorneys chuekle with real glee.
Manifestly, society wants less divorce, and it
will have less divorce when there is more
divinity in wedding. and not till then. Ma
trimony should mean a wedding of hearts;
something more and better than natri-
money. When parents, for mere mercenary
considerations, encourage their children to
wed, they commit an indiscretion scarcely
less than a crime, and in comparison of
which polygamy need not blush. The subject
is we'll worthy OF attention, and the more it
is considered the more it will appear that
the demand is that in the game of matrimony
hearts should always be trumps.

The Rockport Sentinel saws:

Mcdonald in high esteem, and this alone should

The Sentinel in the same issue says:
The Democrats will certainly elect the next
President, If we may Judge from the tone of the
press OF both parties. Among Democratic papers
the discussion is as TO the most available candi-
for vigorous campaign. Upon the other hand
the Republican press is discussing the probable
chances of Neutrality-suspicious. However, the

4 Loving Couple United In the Holy Bonds

"Where there is will there Is a
way,u Is n good old saying, that was
exemplified yesterday. A party ar
rived I'm the city yesterday morning
en- route to the west, where they pro-
pose to locate. Among them was n
young man Of twenty or thereabouts,
who was desperately smitten with the
charms OF young widow, also of the
party, OF some nineteen YEARS, and
She returned his love. On arriving in
this city they stopped over for "A few
hours TO rest and recuperate, and while
here, the young man, whose name is
j. w. Frasure, bethought that
no better place, time nor
opportunity could he found
TO take unto himself that wife he so
longed 10 possess. Accordingly he
preached the subject TO the charming
young widow, who agreed, and he at
once proceeded to County Clerk
Swayne's office, where he procured IA
marriage license. Armed with this he
sought n minister. The Rev. A. l..
Johnson was found, and upon being
informed that his services were i'm re-
quest, at once assented and proceeded
10 the spot where the ceremony took
place. And now the strange part of
the tale comes in. The minister stood
in the street, and the bridal party
stood up in their buggy, and under the
canopy of heaven, On the broad thor
oughiare of Houston street. the hands
of the loving pair were joined,
aud the minister pronoui ced them
man and wife. This rather strange
affair took place on Houston street be-
tween First and Second. The passers-
by failed to notice what was going on
and the marriage was conducted as
quietly as If it had occurred in the
privacy of the brides residence. a
brother of the bride was present and |
witnessed the ceremony, after which |
the party went down in the bottom |
west OF the town where they partook !
OF cold lunch, and in the afternoon
departed westward.
