Reasons Way ana Democrat.


Below we copy al article from the
Grenada Sentinel given by . colofe d
man for being Democrat.
First. = ] know that great ma
iority of4he white population OF The
United States are Democrats, and i.
is to tie interest OF tie African race
to be friendly with the white people.
About half the population Of the
North are Democrats, and the great
mass of Southern white people, show
ing that great majority of the whole
white race are Democrats.
SECOND - Because / thoroughly
understand the Southern white peo-
pie and they understand me and my
race, and if I by my conduct gain
their good will, and show that we
can live together in peace, they Will
protect my race now and hereafter,
and in the future no doubt my race
will need their friendship and pro
lection.
THIRD. - Because all the hall
million of immigrants that land in
the United States every year, and the
poor laborIng people of the North
are naturally opposed to my race.
however they may talk and vote
and I had better, for the future safe
ty of my race, keep on the best terms
possible with the people at home.
FOURTH. - I acknowledge that
while my race is improving in ednca
ton by means of the good schools
the Democrats give us, the white race
are more intelligent than my owl
and can give the State better govern
ment for both races.
FIFTH. acknowledge that the
| Democratic party has given usgooJ
officers aud good government since
1875. They have kept up the iree
schools and made them better thar
they were before, and have passed NJ
unjust law agai nst my race.
| SIXTH. = hope to have little
piece of ground and home Of my
own some day. and 1 don't want th'
country 10 be stirred mp and higl
taxes put on us as they were undet
Radical rule.
SEVENTH. - If I must vote 70
white cand idates, l will vote for thos
that most Of the white people ale fol
and not for few Independents VIII
only want my votes to get Office :
who can do me no good and who WI.

The above tribute by the members
OF the Woodville Bar does no more
than justice to the many high quail
ties displayed by Judge Chrisman
since his elevation to the Bench.

in Ill his rulings, and his executive
ability is, undeniably, of a very high
order.
In these attributes we believe that
We have summed up the requisites OF
an efficient Judge, and in none Of
them has Judge Chrisman been found
wanting.
1t is rnmored that an effort is be-
lig made To prevent his reappoint.
ment to the Judgeship of this Dis
trict. In view of the usual desire O.
hungry asplrants to I'LL any and al
vacancies that occur, this is not to be
wondt red at, but we sincerely trus
that Governor Lowry will be so fan
true to the high duties of his Office as
to reappoint an able, nplight and
fflcient Judge, who has borne the
ermine upon his shoulders without
stain, and lent confidence to the adj
m:n;stration of Justice wherever b,
has presided.
To do otherwise is simply to fur
nish another illustration of the ne

Another Purcell Disaster.

The Augustinian Society formed at Law
renee in 1870, to receive deposits of the par
lshioners of the Catholic church, has gone
by the board. The Boston Herald US:
The liabilities of the Augustinian society
are $40, OO0 Deducting mortgages, S110,-
600, there remains due depositors $429, 600.
when the society was first formed Catholics
began to deposit savings with Father O'Don-
nell. His death occurred in 1881, and de-
felt of $50, 900 is said to have existed then,
The interest had always been large, equal
ing or exceeding per cent and as the de-
posts had not generally been well invested,
the result h8s been that considerable por-
ton of the deposits have been paid out in
interest, but by far the greater cause is found
in the fact that in 1872 the sociery, then
having a debt of $4,000, began new
church, adding to the debt $50, 900, and
using the money of deposltors to meet this
amount, with the exception of So, 400 which
was raised by subscription. In addition to
the burdens already existing there is anoth-
er of large magnitude. For % years the society
has maintained parochial school at an es
timated expense OF $75, 900, including 81 900
expended in remodeling the old church for
school rooms. To add to their load the So
ciety five or six years ago accepted charge of
the st. Lawrence church and the Immacu-
late conception, which had considerable
debts. The depositors and public generally
are convinced that this result has come
about. through bad management, and is in no
sense the result of roguery. Tue clergyman
now in charge will make full exhibit of
the condition of the institution and admit
that the money of the depositors is gone.
They claim that by reducing expenses and
strengthening the revenues of the church
they can inevitably pay off the debt in full,
but the question of the interest must for
some wears to come be held in allegiance.

The failure of several large iron man.
ufacturing establishments is attributed
to various causes, but President Potter
of the Chicago Rolling mills seems to
have hit the nail on the head in saying:
'It Is not the tariff that is doing the mis-
chief, now; it is simply foolish, silly
competition, running the mills and Sc
curing orders at less than they can pos
sibly do the work for With the pres
ent competition there is no price for
iron or steel. To say that the tariff is to
blame is not true. A reduction of the
tariff under either of the bills now pend
ing congress would simply continue this
condition of things; but the tariff has not
percipitated it by any means. The sup
ply is greater than the demand, and
each establishment thinks it is it's duty
to run its works to their utmost capacity
and they are cutting each others throats.
/ look upon it as criminal for a man to
undertake to run his works when he
knows it will put him into bankruptcy.
My advice is to ask paying price for a
product, or not to sell it; and, of course,
if one cannot sell it he won't manufac-
ture it,"
