Senator Wade Hampton of South Caro-
lima writes to the New York Commercial
Advertiser in answer to some inquiries of
that paper, among other things, this,-"I
am satisfied that every political right now en-
joyed by the negroes will be protected by the
Democratic party" Precisely, Senator; but
that is not the point. What is demanded is
that the negroes shall be protected in GER
tain rights, for example the rights of voting
safely and freely as they choose ard OF hay-
ing their votes honestly counted, which they
do not now "eDjoy" because the Democrats
unjustly prevent them. These are rights be-
longing to them as citizens of South Caro-
lima and the United States; but Senator
Wade Hampton knows that if these rights
were not oppressively denied In South Caro-
lima, the electoral vote of that State would
not have been cast for Cleveland and Hen
bricks, and he would not have a seat in the
Senate of the United States.

The Spanish Treaty.

Secretary Frelinghuysen's statement of
TIE points of advantage to us in the Spanish
treaty is clear and strong, and it disposes
quite satisfactorily of some of the objections
made to 1t; among the rest the absurd pre-
tension that in knocking off the duties on
sugar we "giveo great deal more than we
get in exchange. The opponents of the
treaty have hastily assumed that under it
we give Cuba or Spain all the taxes now
levied on imported sugar. In fact this sum
will be given to our own people. The gov
ernment will cease to collect so much tax
which the consumers Of sugar in the United
States have to pay to enable few Louisiana
planters to raise proftably small moiety of
the amount the people require, when it is
improbable that they will ever be able to
produce a larger proportion of the amount
we shall consume.
What we give in fact, SO far as this sugar
item is concerned, is the profit to be made in
supplying the amount of sugar that will
cease to be produced in this country, and
that is an Insignificant sum compared with
the amount of tax collected from imported
sugar, that is to say with the amount of
taxes from which our own pnople-not the
people of the Spanish Islands-will be re-
lieved. The duty on sugar ought to be
abolished whether we ratify the treaty with
Spain or not. 1t is heavy tax on one of
the necessary articles of life, perhaps the
heaviest tax which the poor pay, and the
reasons why it should be abolished are, first,
that it is not needed for revenue, and,
second, that it has been demonstrated that
by means of the tax the industry of sugar
production in this country cannot be stimu-
lated to degree sufficient for supplying the
needs of our people.
We do not know that the Spanish treaty
ought to be ratified, but it is plain that
large part of The present outcry against it is
based upon superficial arguments, which
will exhaust their influence very soou.

To Thine Own Self Be True

By thine own souls law learn to live,
And if men thwart thee take no heed,
And if men hate thee have no care;
Sing thou thy seng and do thy deed;
Hope thou thy hope and pray thy prayer,
And claim no crown they will not give,
Nor bays they grudge thee for thy hair.
Keep thou thy soul sworn steadfast oath,
And TO thy heart be true thy heart;
What thy soul teaches learn to know,
And play out thine appointed part;
And thou shalt reap as thou shalt SOW,
Nor helped nor hindered in thy growth,
To thy full stature thou shalt grow.
FIX on the futures goal thy face,
And let thy feet be lured to stray
Nowltber, but be swift to run,
And nowhere tarry by the way.
Until al last the end is won.
And thou may'st look back fro@ thy place
And see thy long days journey done.

At the coming session of the Legislature
Mr.. Albert w. Paine of Bangor proposes to
present measure whose parpose is to pro-
vide for voting by proxy at public elections
BY its terms, any legal voter whose name is
on the voting list, who is not personally pres
ent, may vote by proxy, provided the author
ity to do SO is in writing or printed, specify
ing the vote to be thrown, directed to some
person whose name is on the same list, set
ting forth the voters residence and place of
voting, signed by him and acknowledged be-
fore some magistrate authorized to take the
acknowledgment of deeds. Mr.. Paine thinks
that this plan would have tendency 70 pre-
vent fraudulent impersonation of absent
voters by others. There are numerous sound
objections to any such scheme and the evils
Mr.. Paine thinks to prevent is in this state
more fancitul than real.

Views of Frederick Douglass.

Frederick Douglass does not take an alto
gether dsconsolate view of the situation
He says the negroes of the South distrust
the Democratic party with good reason.
They know that it was The political instru-
ment of the slaveholdiDg class, that it waged
war on the Union to perpetuate their bond
age, that it opposed emancipation, and the
constitutional amendments, and has re-
peatedly declared the acts by which the
freedmen were made citizens and voters un-
constitutional null and void, that it has made
elections in the Southern States a farce, and
permitted no full and free discussion of po-
litical principles or policies. For these rea-
sons the immediate effect of the election is
discouraglng to the colored people and no
doubt gives them some alarm concerning
their future. This, he says, will be the i'm
mediate effect; but he continues:
Of course time and events may essentially modify
and relieve this picture. Mr.. Cleveland may pur-
sue course which will relieve the negro of his
fears and create an entirely different impression
for himself and his party. He has it in his power to
fhow the negro that the Dem ocratic party is what
some of its leaders sometimes claim for it-as
friendly to the negro as the Republican party. He
may regard himself and his party as on trial, as
they certainly are, but may assume friendly policy
If net from principle at least from polcy-believ-
ing it will be better to pursue just and humane
course towards the colored people.
His own opinion, however, is that little
attention will be paid to the advice and in
fuence of the Independents, because Mr..
Cleveland owes very little to them SO far as
genuine feeling is concerned. "They SIM
ply used him as means of destroying
Blaiue'', not because they had any real lik-
ing for him. Regarding the future he

The Salvation Army began yesterday to
drum up recruits literally, one bass drum
and two snare drums being added to the in
struments by which they proclaim their
mission in the streets. The methods of this
body of Missionaries to the neglected classes
are peculiar and do not always commend
themselves to the staid and decorous relig-
ious habits of our people. On the other
hand the staid and decorous religious habits
OF our people do not seem to be very effectual
i'll reaching and moving the classes for whose
rescue from sin the Salvation Army espec-
Tally labors. If anybody feels, like Naaman,
that it is beneath his own dignity to wash
In the River Jordan and be cured, he ought
not to discourage others from trying that
way of reformation.
