At the recent celebration of the
anniversary of the Emancipation
Proclamation at Washington, Fred
Douglass, the colered orator, said:
ASSIMILATION, not isolation, is oul
true policy and natural destiny.
Unifcation for us is life; separation
Is death. We cannot afford to set up
for ourselves a separate political
party or adopt for ourselves a polit-
ical creed apart from the rest of our
fellow-citizens." There is much
good n in what Douglas says.
Colonization has been tried in Libe-
ria and was a failure. What the
colored people desire is an opportu-
nifty to win prosperity for themselves.
This they can the better accomplish
among a progressive people who can
teach them what centuries of servi-
tude have left them ignorant of.
Assimilation does not mean misce-
genation in any sense.

DID brady HAVE Play

In an article under the above cap
ton the New York Truth predicts
that when the full report through
the Dublin papers Of the Joe Brady
trial shall reach here several contem-
poraries must cease to claim that it
was conducted with that fairness as
to evidence which belongs to the the
cries of British law books, or the pro-
cedures of this country.
Does not the strength of Saxon
justice depend upon the equality of
fairness that marks the trial of a NOR
ally guilty man as we'll as of a man
making a fair defence?
One little flash has come over the
cable that induces this prediction.
Queens Counsel Naish, for the Gov
eminent, when Kavanagh was per-
mitted to ''amend" his evidence
that is, to take back on one day a
material statement of the day before
upon a subject peculiarly within his
memory-thus stated a PROPOSE
ton not criticised SO far as is
now known by the judge: "The fact
that Kavanagh amended his evil
dence did not discredit that witness,
but proved his veracity." Let one
suppose that the depot witness who
saw Guiteau aim his pistol had pre-
liminarily sworn that the latter
aimed at Blaine, whereupon the shot
glanced off at Garfield; and suppose
that this witness subsequently
"amended" his testimony by swear
ing that the pistol was aimed dis
tinctly at Garfield, and suppose that
John X. Porter had then advanced
the proposition that this change of
testimony "proved" veracity, while
Judge Wylie either concurred or was
silent, what would the American par
have thought of the fairness with
which Guiteau was tried?

make him President of the United
States. Tilden broke up the in

Chief Magistracy of the country, but
the Massachusetts, Governor falls far
short of possessing the elements of
popularity possessed by the New

another term in his office. Tilden
earned more and received only the
fruits of a bare faced fraud.

The following is the New York
SUMS tariff platform, which is sup
posed to represent the views of ex-
Speaker Randall:
II. Let the tariff be for revenue.
1t will then be protective also.
IL. Let the revenue tariff be the
only source of revenue.
III. Let all internal taxes be abol-
ished at once, except only the tax on
spirits.
w. Let the tax on spirits be re-
tanned only to meet the necessity of
means to pay arrearages of pensions.
When these arrearages are provided
for let the spirit tax be likewise
abolished
The first and second planks strad-
die the question after the most APP
proved style. A party that cannot
turn those planks to suit its own
wishes or purposes has lost its cum
ming. The Suns platform will never
be incorporated in that of either of
the great political parties.

TIE TEWKSBURY LESSON.

The investigation now being made
in the conduct of the Tewksbury
almshouse reveals q condition OF af-
fairs in that institution that would
be disgrace to countries possessing
less claims to civilization and en-
lighfenment than u own. It is
enough to make ones blood curdlo
to read of the outrageous barbarities
practiced by the nurses upon the
poor helpless patients confined there.
1t appears, too, these grievous abuses
are not of recent origin. They have
been practiced years, and in a State
which has held itself up as a model
of morality, culture and refinement.
If such sickening horrors had been
unearthed in some Southern State,
and negroes had been the victims,
the philanthropists of Massa-
chusetts would have sounded
the alarm to the world, and
would not have rested until the
crimes had been corrected and the
institution purged of the monsters
who perpetrated them. The investi-
cation, however, proves what has
long been known, that people who
make an ostentatious display of their
charity r apt to overlook and
neglect its deserving objects at home
and to lavish it upon distant ones.
With many the squalid poverty and
misery which may be found at their
own doors pass unheeded and un-
relieved, but when they are called
upon to alleviate the sufferings, fan
cied or real, Of the imam and brother"
in distant chimes their purses fly open
and the contents mark a sum oppo-
site their names upon the subscrip-
ton list which exalts them in the
eyes of Che world among the fore
most upon the roll of their country's
benefactors. Massachusetts is not
the only State in which they may
be found, nor can it be credited with
a monopoly in Tewksbury aims
houses.
Governor Butler is doing a good
work for the whole country. He is
stimulating inquiry into the conduct
of similar institutions in other States
and if like horrors be not developed
1t will, at least, direct public atten-
ton to their management and posi-
bly, avert their repetition elsewhere.
People everywhere are shocked at
the disclosures made at Tewksbury
and a public sentiment is aroused
which will bear its fruit in the better
care of the unfortunate. If the
Tewksbury lesson will teach the
benevolently inclined to look nearer
at home for objects of charity, and
will open the eyes of philanthropists
to the misery existing in their own
it will have not been given in
vain.

The recent Western elections con
tain a lesson which political parties
cannot afford to lose, and that is, the
cause of temperance cannot be ad.
vanced by blending it with politics
This fact may as well be accepted
first as last. No prohibitory meas
ure can be successfully enforced that
strikes at a habit for which no one
outside of the individual can be held
responsible. 1t may work an appar-
emit reform, but the reform is only
apparent. The habit remains and
under the operation of prohibitory
laws it, becomes a secret one rather
than an open one. And then again
the question of drinking is primarily
settled within the province of private
judgment and coercion cannot enter
there except by infringing on a do
main where its presence excites en-
nifty and resentment. Hence, when
a community attempts to control in
diyldual choices through the suffrage
those advocating this procedure are
sure, in all large communities, to
find themselves working within the
lines of a small minority. The re-
cent elections have sufficiently DEM
Onstrated this fact.
Temperance reforms must find
support outside of prohibitory laws.
To command public sympathy they
must appeal to it. AS no party holds
a monopoly of temperance men, no
party can dictate a temperance poll
cy. Hence the failure of temperance
men where they have succeeded in
incorporating their ideas in party
platforms. They aroused an enmity,
and an opposition among their allies
engulphed them all in defeat.
Men may be led in these days, but
be driven. A recognition of
fact and conformity to its truth
may lead to better results in advanc-
ing temperance reforms.

STALWART POLICY.

Senator John Logan voiced the
sentiments of the stalwarts of the Re
publican party when he recently
said: "The President must crush
this half, breed faction into submits
sion to party discipline. Patronage
must be taken away to the last
crumb. The patronage must be given
to Republicans who have earned it
by fidelity and service. If these
several things are not done the end
of the Republican party will date
from the 4th day of March, 1885,"
1t would seem that Mr.. Logan
regards patronage as the power
that makes and unmakes parties, the
key that locks or unlocks the mouths
OF men, and the rod which
whips refractory members into politi-
cal traces. Mr.. Logan is not alone
in his opinion. The whole history
of President Arthur's administration
shows that he holds the same view
and has carried it out in his appoint
ments as far as he dared to. Follow
ing the descending scale to the lesser
lights of the party we find the lead
ers of each faction feeding their
partisans with such "crumbs" as
they have to bestow. Each is trying
to crush out the other. Neither re-
cognizes nor seems to believe there is
such a thing as principle to unite
men in a common cause. Whatever
Of cohesive power there may have
once existed in a common political
faith has long since been exhausted
and the Crumbs" of patronage"
which fell from the Presidents table
are now relied upon to hold the Re
publican party together.
1t is a humiliating confession, but
Senator Logan has made it. He
comedies that patronage" must be
ressrted to to build upand strengthen
his party or its end will date from
the 4th of March 1885. The policy of
the Stalwarts is plainly declared.
The half: breed faction must be
crushed into submission to party
discipline, by taking from it the last
"crumb' of patronage. This will be
done. Half-breeds will be chung
up' and dispossessed of their official
holdings unless they r willing to
eat humble pie and play second fid-
die to stalwart leaders. In this con-
nection it may be noted that Logan
has Presidential aspirations, and his
declarations may be regarded as the
keynote to his preliminary cam
He further mean that if the
half-breeds will not work at the beck
and bidding OF the Stalwart faction
the party will be q thing of the past
after the 4th of March, 1885. To
avert the latter calamity will be the
aim of the Stalwarts, and to compass
the "crumbs" of patronage will be
bestowed where they will
do the most good.
