Were it not for the cohesive
power of that far reaching and
all prevailing desire on the part
of the democracy Of the country,t to
get at Uncle Sans plumber, the
party would ere the close of the
present year, be burst in twain
on that all perplexing question,
the tariff. AS between "a reve-
nue. tariff only" and "onl ya tariff
for revenue" the northern ''twe
dle-dees," and the southern twee-

cede the advantage for the ''dees''
for the reason that they are near

it is said is remarkably familiar.

On hearing the report the cons
vention was SO eager to get rid
of it, that at first the house re-
fused to receive it, but after the
solicitation of the chair, and an
explanation from Judge Gibbs, it
was received and tabled with
loud shouts and applause. At
ter which a motion prevailed
that the convention proceel to
the election of eight delegates.
II A Bush made a very tiatter-
ing talk and nominated his man,
placing in nomination G w Keat >

rapidly after this until large list
of names were upon the table,
from among whom the following

submitted their report, which
was received with amendments
and adopted. After some discus

A motion was then made that a

CORRECTION,

We stated in our last issue that
all the republican counties had
contracted to hire out convicts to
labor on farms under hard task
masters, but we have been in
formed by Judge II G Newsome of
Chicot county, the only colored
county judge in the state, that
he refused to make such con-
tracts and the consequences are
that they have no convicts on
the farm nor in the Jail. The judge
thinks tho law an incentive to
evil doers.

FROM TEXAS
WHAT Is NEEDED TO FURTHER DEV ELOP
OUR RACE AND CAUSE.

GALVESTON, August 81; 1883
Editor Mansion:
Dear Sir-I beg leave for space in your
columns for the purpose of submitting 4
few facts, which to my idea may be in some
degree of interest to the public in general.
For some time past my brain has been
much agitated upon the broad issue of race
futurity, as we'll as the best plan to adopt
for further and more full development OF
my race. The question is problematic and
of many issues, being As it is extensive
throughout.
In view of the rapid advancement OF civ
iIization throughout our common land,
the cry for industrial schools, also poly
technic schools seems general and arc in
dispensible. Our people here are general
in their clamor for fair distribution Of
means for moral aud intellectual DEVELOP
ment. Our first stage in the propogancy of
liberal, moral and intellectual advancement
was the consideration of the erection of a
Colored Orphan Asylum, for the destitute
children of a once benighted race, whose
very destiny is held in tn; iron grasp of
future consideration ami manipulations.
The move has been heartily endorsed
both in Galveston and at the late Austin
convention. aud bi Is fair to be of vital i'm
portance. We have organized supplement
tary institutions for the support of the
same. Respectfully, yours,

Pennsylvania holds state
election this year. Last year
through dissensions in the repub~
lican party, she was carried by
the democracy. We are assured
that all Of .the old differences in
the republican camp are healed
again, and that the old veterans
are marching up in solid line of
battle, that the ranks are full
and that every republican voter Is
in line marching to conquest
under the old flag, to the music OF
the union.

There is never any doubt as to
the result of the election in the
state of Iowa. She is about as
solid republican as Kentucky is
Bourbon. Recent advices from
that state, which holds a state
election this year, are encoura-
ging to all lovers of true repub-
licanism. No one pretends to
predict what the republican ma
jority will be, but all are of the
opinion that it will be..more than
an offset to that of the Kentucky
Bourbons.

PLANTATION DIR A Nj SHOPS.

A reprehensible custom has
grown up among the plantation
owners of this state, that of open
ing a saloon or dram-shop in con-
nection with their plantation
supply stores, at certain season
/ of the year, which is generally
from the opening of the cotton
picking season until its close.
These dram-shops are rarely in
operation during the farming por-
ton of the season. The reason
for this is self-evident. 1t is for
no other purpose than to obtain
as nearly as possible every penny
saved by the poor colored people,
save enough for actual subsistence.
Just enough to keep soul and
body together, with sufficient
clothing to hide their nakedness,
which keeps the poor colored
laborer and his family con
tinually in the power of his land
lord, who under such circumstan-
ces is virtually his owner.
During the farming season the
laborer, in most instances. IS en-
tirely dependent upon his land
lord for the necessaries of lite Or
until the crop is made and ready
for harvest. During this period
he with his little family are en-
tirely dependent The crop mort
gage or the labor contract has set
tied all..that in favor of the ''boss. .
With the supply store under his
control and the mortgage on rec
ord, he is reasonably safe in count
ing upon the whole crop at the
end of the season if the tenant is
a renter. If he is simply a labo-
rer, the supply store will absorb
his wages certainly, until the
close of the farming season.
During the cotton picking sea-
son the maryin for time, is some
what in favor of the |'cropper'
or laborer, and it is just here that
the dram shop comes in to gath
er in the surplus or actual cash
savings of the laborer.
The whole process may be
summed up in few words. Dur
ing the farming season the labo,
rer has nothing to spend for luxu-
ries, or little dissipations, besides
the use of intoxicants, are demor>
alizing to labor and are, there
fore, discouraged for the time be-
ing, But on the other hand.
when the laborer has a little ex-
ira cash, the itching-palms of his
landlord must needs be seothed
by the possession of this little
hard earned surplus, and every
dishonorable and devlish appli-
ance is resorted to by many OF
this class, to get possession of it.
1t is little short of the old system
of avarice and oppression and is
nearly as far reaching in its de
grading results; every feature OF
which is shameful. cruel and
wrong, be it viewed as it may.
from any stand point. And so it
is and will so remain until the col
ored people resolve to become in
dependent within themselves, by
accumulating property and secur-
ing homes OF their own and arc
no longer dependent upon mel
who care nothing for their physi
cal comfort or mental or mora,
improvement.
