Mr.. Blaine's remarks at his home
in Augusta, Maine, last week, on the
occasion of the visit of several hun.
dreds of his neighbors to condole
with him in his failure to reach the
White House, was one of the most
bitter and partisan speeches with
which the American people have been
treated for very many years. His
arraignment of the Democratic party
at the South, in which he stated that
thousands and tens of thousands of
Republicans were virtually denied
the right of suffrage simply because
they were colored and could be sue
cessfully intimidated or their ballots
wrongfully counted, is theoretically
very strong case, but in point of
fact it is base and malicious false
hood. 1t seems that this magnetic"
statesman lays the tiattering JUNCTION
to his soul that every negro in the
land must of necessity be a Republi.
can and of course an ardent supporter
of those brilliant gentlemen who very
recently led the grand old party to
its Waterloo. For a colored man to
have an opinion of his own and vote
or not as be pleases, just as many Of
the white people north of the Mason
and Dixon line are constantly doing,
is a contingency which Mr.. Blaine is
not willing to foresee in the land Of
flowers and sunshine. Therefore
every colored man is religously pre-
sumed to have marched up to the
polls, willing or unwilling, and put
in simon pure Republican ballot.
To do otherwise would be an immor-
tai sin, something with which mem
bers of that party, believed to he I'M
der divine supervision, are never
guilty! The truth is, as has been
frequently demonstrated, that the
number Of negroes in the South who
freely and cordially vote the Demo
cratic ticket runs way up into the
thousands. They long since became
heartily tired of carpet baggers and
their extravaganza, dishonesty and
profigacy, and as that was the only

The ssRegister'' ON the Internal
Revenue system.

AhCVCmNC ~ SlCAAss
The Wheeling Register advocates
1 the abolition of the Internal Rev
enue System for three principal
reasons:
l, To get rid Of the unnecessary
surplus that this tax draws into the
public treasury.
2, To get rid of a few thousand
Office holders who are fed by this
system.
3, To rid the Presidency of some
political influence and power by thus
curtailing its appointments.
We travel by the same boat as the
Register on this line, but not princi-
pally or specifically for the same
reasons.
We regard the internal tax system
as one of the most inexcusable, I'M
lawful, inquisitorial and American
institution that has ever been toler-
ated in the history of this republic.
We are sure that its adoption would
never have been possible in time Of
peace, and as the people accepted it
only as war measure, that it should
have been perpetuated by the Repub-
lican party for twenty years after the
war, and after its necessity had
passed Except as means of public
plunder) is the most outrageous piece
of party machination and oppression
we have ever known.
Moreover, we understand that the
prime, principal and fundamental
plank in the Democratic platform is
the abolition of this demonstrations
system; that this plank constituted
their ground of success in the Presi-
dental campaign; and last but most
emphatically, if the Democratic party
does not abolish this tax without de-
lay, it will sacrifice it's right to con-
tinuance in power, and ought to be
Ousted at the next election.
The above is the pith of our first
reason.
AS to the motive in getting rid of
the host of office holders which the
Republicans have maintained under
this system, that is one of the Incl
dents of the abolition of the system
which, if it stood alone, would be
quite sufficient to justify the move.
But we do not agree with the Reg
lister in thinking that the appointing
power lodged in the Executive will
he sufficiently curtailed by the sim
pie abolition of these revenue offices.
1t would leave him still, over one
hundred thousand appointments.
This is an enormous tone man
power that is out of all harmony
with the genius of our institutions.
1t is a continual menace to the per-
petuity of our government 1t is one
of the instances in which official pow
er originally bestowed when the
country was small has grown out Of
all proportion and out Of all harmony
with the spirit and purpose of the
constitution. 1t ought to be cor
rected. 1t ought to be corrected in
a calm spirit of bipartisan, patriotic
desire for our future welfare. 1t
ought to be corrected before it be-
comes either so odious in itself, or
o source of such strife in our Presi-
dental elections as to result in q
conflict Of arms, which is almost GER
tain tn follnw at some future time

The deadly plague which has been
raging in the Southern part of this
State and in certain parts Of Virginia
and Kentucky is attracting good
deal of attention. For several weeks
it's destructiveness has been on the
increase and it's victims are counted
by the hundred. The waters arc
dried up, food is very scarce, crops
have failed and physicians are hard
to find. To these people Thanks
giving could have been nothing but
a mockery. The ravages of the dis
ease will hardly cease until heavy
rains shall purify the wells and
streams from the mineral matter
with which they are now so heavily
charged. The full hand of charity
should be extended at once to these
suffering people.

Mrs. Langley In Pink.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Manager E. G. Gilmore: Mrs Langtry will
appear as pink Galatea This is not whim
or an advertising dodge, but an artistic innova-
ton. 1t is now an accepted theory among the
most prominent European artists that the
ancient statuary was tinted to resemble flesh
color. The celebrated pink Venus established
the fact Mrs. Langtry accepts the theory as
reasonable. Why should the divine female form
be carved in cold white marble when the vivid
tint of the flesh is so much more lovely2 The
statement that Mrs. Langtry will appear in pink
is, however, misleading for, under the glare of
the footlights, pink softens to fesh-tint. Mrs
Langtry has another reason for assuming the
flesh tint rather than the conventional white
AS Galatea is supposed to be brought back to
life, the fact that the statue is hfehke does not

DO you really think. then, that the working
classes of the cities Will take an interest III the
land question"
The land question is only one name for the
great social question. Land Is as important to
the men of the cities a. to the men of the eoun-
try No human being can live without land,
and if wanted TO point out the worst evils Of
the land monopoly l would go to London in
England, to Edlnburg or Glasgow in Scotland,
TO Dublin in ireland or to New York in this
country There are hardship and suffering
among the poorer classes in the country districts.
but there is "a deeper degradation in the slums Of
the large towns. Look at this question OF the
housing of the working classes in the cities,
which is now forcing itself upon attention on the
other side. More than twO-thirds of the families
OF Scotland live IN houses of one two rooms, and
in England the condition is hardly better The
reason isn't that there isn't land sufficient to build
upon, but that land is monCpohzed and held for
higher prices by dogs in the Manager, who Will
not use 1t themselves or allow any one else to
use IT. You see precisely the same thing here IN
New York, and for the very same reason The
great mass of the population of New York is
crowded together without space enough for
health, comfort or deceney while there is plenty
of vacant land on Manhattan island TO say
nothing of Brooklyn"
But there is great difference between Eu-
rope and this eountryl7
I'VE are % younger nation and our country
isn't as yet as densely populated. That is the
main difference; but the social question here is
precisely the same in all its essentials as the
social question in England, Ireland or Scotland
One may there what we are coming to, and
coming to very shortly. In some occupations and
some respects the condition of the workingman
in America is no better than that of the working
Englisman, if as good. l do not think that an
American cant go to England without becoming
more intense democrat yet he cannot be proud
of a republic in which there is already dire pow
erty and squalid want, and where there are
many socalled free citizens who by the hardest
work only make poor living"

Rev. ID. II. Van Buskirk.

The Bloomington, Ill, Paragraph, in a no.
tice of the last sermon in that city by Elder D.
r. Van Buskirk, who has accepted the pastor
ate of the Third Christian Church, in this city,
says:
"As is known, Mr.. Van Buskirk goes to In
dianapolis with his family in a few days, and
will there assume the pastorate of the Third
Christian Church. The departure of this most
worthy gentleman from our community brings
regret not only to his congregation, but to the
public who know him as man of the greatest
purity of life and kindness Of nature. He is one
of the greatest favorites with the people of
Bloomington that has ever occupied pulpit in
the city, and his ministry and life among us will
ever be remembered with pleasure. Mr.. Van
Buskirk has been wonderfully successful in his
pastorate here, and undoubtedly will find a
warm place in the hearts of Ihis new congrega-
ton, who may be earnestly congratulated on
their selection of a pastor. He takes with
him to his new work the affection of his congre-
cation and the deep respect and friendly regard
of his acquaintance outside the pale of the
church"
Mr. Van Buskirk is well known in this city
and State, having at one time been a member of
the State Senate, and the presiding officer of
that body. He is a man of ability, and will be
a great addition to the pulpit strength of Indi-
annapolis. He will come here on Saturday and
will preach on Sunday next in his new church
on Home avenue

KANSAS BANDITS.
Four Men in Attempting to Rob Bank
Kill the President and Cashier.

HARPER, Kan, April 30.-A courier this even
ing brings the news that d daring attempt was
made to rob the Medicine Valley Bank, Of Va
Gene Lodge, fifteen miles west of here, in which
the cashier was killed and the president was
fatally wounded, at 10 o'clock this morning
Four men, armed with Winchester repeating
rifles and revolvers rode up to the bank, two
remained with the horses, while the others en-
tered the building and demanded the money. E.
W. Payne, president and George Geppert,
cashier, were in the bank. They refused
to comply, with the result above stated.
The city marshal just then appeared
and opened fire on the men. Outside citizens
gathered rapidly, and the robbers, seeing the
game was up, quickly mounted and galloped
away, without having secured the booty
Within twenty minutes thirty men were in hot
pursuit and the chances are the robbers will be
captured and summarily dealt with. There is no
cew to their identity. Mr.. Geppert was a
prominent business man, while Mr.. Payne was
the editor of the Index and wealthy and in
fuential stockman.
