The best way to put q stop to involuntary politi-
cal assessments is to enforce civil service reform
Voluntary political contributions cannot be stopped,
but the difficulty lies in Distinguishing between the
voluntary and the involuntary. When all Federal
employees know certainly that they cannot be pun
ished for declining TO contribute to political funds
whatever contributions they make will be clearly
voluntary, and any law to make such contributions
criminal would be invalid. The fundamental vics
Of all such levies, however, is that they imply a
special obligation OH the part of the employe
to support his party. AS matter Of fact the same
obligation rests on everymenber Of party, wheth-
er he holds Office not and it ought not to be
emphasized especially in the of oficeholders.
TO do so is to teach them that they owe allegiance
to the party and not to the Government, and from
that notion has sprung tgothrds Of the evils it s
the object of civil service reform to remove.
u is said that the inccndiary utterances Of the
foreign Socialists who have taken refuge in this
city have considerably excited tho Austrian
Parliament. In this case distance has evidently
magnihed the language of the New-lork anarchists
The Reichsrath, however, will do well to calm its
perurbed spirit and realize that the menace which
has so disqueted it is really nolse and nothing else

course this great saving stands for the correction OF
many 1agTant abuses in administration. Prior to
1851 the annual bill for court stationery amounted
to from 81 800 to 81 900. The committee began It's
investigation early in 1881. The stationery ac-
count dropped that year TO $797 20. Next year it
was S632 The oil bills of the city from April, 1881

! pElLTcTIC SOTTHERN PICTURE

Il
Theinvcstigation into the Danville riot prom
ses TO furniShamore realistic picture ola certain
| kind of Southern civilization than has ever been
presented before. The Danyile white men are
evidently frank and ingenious people, who
are not the least doubtful about the prOpriety
of their actions and who are quite sure that a
simple statement of the facts will vindicate
them. They should not be blamed for their
candor. On the contrary, it is useful since it is
giving the country what must b. felt to be a
truthful account of social condition which
must be thoroughly cOmprehended before it can
be changed for the better. No attempt has
been made by these white witnesses to conceal
their rooted conviction that great gulf is fixed
between themselves and the cOlOred people.
Their illusions to the latter express a cool
contempt very like what the French marquis
of the old regime felt for the peasantry. 1t is
taken for granted that nobody will assume the
existence of any approach to equality between
the two races, and that when white man ad-
dresses a negro it must be in tone of COM
mand. ave don't ask negroes to do anything"
said one of these candid witnesses. But the
negroes are prone to insOlence, it seems. The
peasant takes liberties with his lOrdship the
marquis And where the one exists in such an
atmosphere of self-appreciatiOn the other very
easily ollends. Thus, we find that for negro
to "call the Conservative party hard names
was generally accounted at Danville piece of
presumption inviting least ga genteel thrash
ing,n and, possibly, more severe penalties.
There is an undercuTent of apprehension
among the arst0cracy of Danville, despite their
great superiority. That spectre of ne
gro uprisings which has always haunted
slave-holding communities and which now
seems to survive slavery because the spirit of
slave-h0lding is after all not yet'dead, disturbs
these superior people. eff we had not used our
"pistos we would have been shot into smith
Greens, sir; and not only that, our wives and
sisters would have been murdered in their
" homes,p said one witness. Because Of this
strange chronic panic which rests on no expert
ence but is contrary to all experience, every
white man in Danyile is walking arsenal,
and thinks it necessary to - use his pistol on
the slightest proyocation. The negroes are not
in the habit Of going armed. 1t is the superior
race that according to its own confession, Is
always afraid of the inferior one. The sd
periors arc willing to let the others live quietly
if they VIII recognize their inferiOIity, but
when any of thcm show their "insolcnce' by
exercising their Constitutional rights, the blood
of the Dhvilc aristocracy gets dangerously
hot, and somebody is liable to be hurt.
1t is DJnyillc theory that the best plan is to
shoot the negro leaders. This plan has been
acted upon many times in The South. and has
been found TO work well in "kccping down"
the iusulcncc of The cOlorcd people. An this il
and it deserves serious study. IL
shows that social aud political evolution in many
narts of tic South is very slow, ard that i'll such

the close Mt 57s cents for fair refining. mod
crate improvement in iron continues; Phlladel-
phia agents Of Southern furnaces say they have
more orders than they can accept, and merchant
bar in store commands somewhat better prices.
The cotton market was comparatively steady
through the week at 103i cents for middling
uplands.
A significant circumstance is that two failures
last week, one in Milwaukee for 100000, and
one in Georgia for 100000, are spoken OF as
large" whereas little while ago any
failure for less than a million would
have been considered insignificant. The
decrease has been rather in Importance than in
number of failures but there is a very general
feeling that the wedding out process has brought
more healthy condition of trade, and there is
more readiness to extend reasonable credits.
Strikes linger alongin some wEngland mills
and in a number of coal mines, but the prevail
ing tendency has been toward amicable ADJUST
ment Of differences. But for the desire OF
Democrats TO make capital by tariff agitation
in Congress, industrial improvement would
probably be more rapid. Delay in financial
action at Washington was not unexpected;
the shrinkage of bank circulation last
week amounted to S3S0,000, and the
Treasury took in $l62,20O more certificates
than it put out meanwhile increasing It's cash
by $3, ,450, ,347 in single week. Mr. Knox is
stated to be of the opinion that the McPhe 'on
bill for the relief OF banking will probably
pass, and though it is not the best measure |
conceivable, it would doubtless be of substan- |
tial benefit.
New-York tribune., 1884-02-18

parts the white people have not in any real
sense accepted the situation yet. They arc bent
upon ruling il not by numbers, then by force.
They do not recognize the equality of the col
Ored citizen. They preserve all the aristccratic
airs and assumptions of the old planters. They
are so backward that they do not even know
that there is anything peculiar in their
manners and theories. And these are the men
who still hope tob able, by suppressing the free
suffrage of the North, to obtain a sectional in
Auence which will enable them to govern the
free citizens of the South, whom no doubt Dan
Vile still looks upon generally as mudsills."
