For his famous Florida plea Webster was

were all gone. On inquiry 1T was found that
he had shown them as beautiful toys to guests

Preiudice AgaInst the Negro.

The Northern Republicans are very
anxious to control the colored vote, but
they are not willing to give colored men
Offices. In fact, the white people OF the
North have such prejudice against col
ored people that they dislike to admit
them TO any position which seems to
recognize them as anything but servants
For instance, a day or two ago coal
black negro Of good address ana Ialr
education, was appointed assistant
weigher in the Philadelphia Gus
tom house. When he went on the
wharyes to weigh iron, that was being
discharged from a steamer, the men who
were taking out the cargo hOOted him
and could with difficulty be restrained
from pitching him into the river. He is
the first negro who has held so prominent
a position at the Philadelphia custom
house. The inspectors and other weighers
are greatly dissatisfied at having their
ranks invaded by a negro, and some
of them openly threaten him with
violence. 1t is a fact worthy of notice
that the negro gets along better with the
Southern people than with the people OF
the North. Northern Republicans, how
ever, can be depended on to howl about
the rights of the negro as long as there is
any chance to control his vote. The col
ored voters are of great Importance this
year. 1t seems to be admitted that they
hold the balance of power in several Of
the doubtful States. This would be an
excellent time for them to show how great
their power is by abandoning the party
that has used them so long.

The Bet still Undecided.
Chica0O Neaos.


Two well-meaning men, one from st.
Louis and the other from st. Paul, had an
argument in the Sherman House on the
pronunciation of the word depot.
81 say it is 'dee-poP" said the st. Paul
man.
''And 1 say it's 'day-porD answered
the st. Louisian.
In the course of time they put up So
apiece and agreed to leave it to a tall, fine
looking man on the other side of the ro-
tunda.
"Going up to him, the st. Paul dispu-
tant said: ''My friend and l have a small
bet on the pronunciation of the word
'dee-po.' / say that it is 'dee-pO' and he
says it is 'day-po' Now who is right? %
"Pardon me" replied the stranger, "but
never heard the word before. How do
you spell it, and what does 1t mean?"
The betting men looked at each other
obviously, and one said: "D-e-p-o-t, a
railway station"
sob, yes, yes; excuse me. You mean
'dep-po,' of course. Yes, yes, deppO. 1t
is pronounced 'deppo.'"
"Look here" yelled the st. Paul man,
''where do you come fromp'
"Boston, SIR"
"Well, there can't no Boston man settle
bet for me on the English language.
Come on, let's interview Carter Harri-
SON."

Gov. Cleveland has right ideas about
politics and the duties of a citizen. At
the Ogdensburg, n. Y, fair being called
on for a speech, he consented 70 make
few remarks, in the course of which he
said in substance that ''the people must
get over the idea that politics is disrepu-
table game, beneath the dignity of an
honorable man, fit only for those who have
axes to grind; that if the people would
have good government they must interest
themselves in the matter, selecting
proper men for nominees and voting only
for honest and able candidates. Politics
is neither dirty nor dishonest. In a re-
publican form Of government, to study
politics and practice it is the highest duty
of the citizen, and in so far as he neglects
this he falls short of an obligation that he
owes to his neighbOrs and the State"
The better element of society get the i'm
preston that politics is disreputable
because, having neglected their duties as
citizens, disreputable men often get con-
troll of affairs. Politics would be clean if
managed by clean men.

The time will come when the British
House of Lords will have to go. The abb
surdity Of important powers being exer-
cised by hereditary Legislators is appre-
ciated now by the people of the nation,
and it may be that before many years
there will be as radical a change in the
government as there was when the barons
wrenched Magma Charta from King John.
The Irish question will probably be one
of the lesser troubles Great Britain will
have to contend with in the near future.

The Buffalo Courier gives little sketch
of Rev. G. II. Ball, who is responsible for
the scandal about Gov. Cleveland, 1t
says: 'sFrOm statements made to the
Courier there is reason to describe the
gentleman as a sort of political striker.
Two years ago he received $25 from the
Democratic County Committee, and sup
ported Gov. Cleveland. subsequently he
got $3.50 from Senator Titus and $3.50 from
County Treasurer Jones, as he repre-
sented himself as a worker among the
Independent Republicans. Finally he ap-
piled to Mr.. scoville for funds in reward
for promised political service, but he was
sent CURLY about his business. Facts OF
this sort seem to justify the character OF
the Rev. Mr.. Ball given in letters from
prominent Buffalonians that have been
finding their way into print in different
parts of the country" When a man be-
comes a political striker he>ought to take
the honorable "Rev." off his name.
