THE Republican National Committee
should ''look leedlo OUT about these days.
The battle seems to bo going just right all
along the line, but in view of what Bar
mum and Prince did in regard to the Morcy
forgery, it will be just as well to keep an
eye on them all the time. Anything that
would break up tho movement toward
Blaine and Logan would be mighty well
come to Barnum & Co. just now, even it
was little fshy in its origin.

THE restaurant keepers did a splendid
business through the side doors and alley
ways yesterday. The result was drunken
ness and disorder in many parts of the city.
Citizens noticed the fact, but tho police
seemed to be blind, as usual. Why, the
nearer saloon gets to statiou-house tho
less the police know about it.

THE CRITIC is rapidly coming to the con-
clusion that those Democrats are right who
charge that John Il, Mclean is going about
with his pockets full of sharp augers, try
ing TO scuttle the Democratic ship. Last
Saturdays Enquirer contained long
letter from "Gath,' which shows most con
clusively that there is no hope whatever
for Tilden. This looks little augerish, as
sure as you are born.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer says that Sena-

THE Prohibitionists have formally de-
clared Themselves political organization
Under the guIse of temperance meetings
they carry on hot campaigns on Sunday

Sunday, would not the pulpits howl?

THE mossy-backed Democrats of ST..

The Yazoo Tragedy.

AS closing sequel to the Yazoo
tragedy Of Christmas eve, four more
colored men have been made to suffer
death without judge or jury. The
whole country understands what is
meant by the killing Of negroes in
the South, accused of rapine and mur
der; it is simply another one Of the
many dastardly outrages to b chroni-
cled in blood and -ymbollzed in tears,
deeds perpetrated by the remnants Of
red shirt victims, shot gun clubs and
klu klux clans. In the midst Of all
these crimes it seems strange that the
average S uthtrn bulldczer cannot
see that the negro no longer dies Ike
dog, but dies game. The manly
resistance of Foote is striking cVi
dence of the manhood that is begin
ming to take root in the hearts OF
colored men In the South. Ihere
certainly must be some way Of putting
an end to these crimes; if the right
eous indignation Of an oppressed
people will not do it, then the Govern
ment must protect its citizens 1t is
too late now to go over the ground
that ought to have been ploughed up
immediately following the var. The
magnanimity Of this Government to,
ward the Southern traitors is bearing
its fruits. This trouble would never
heck been b mada a to sktff6AtchI ktfAt Iff tmpp ppWaTilh with
a half dozen other of the leaders ;

stroke to the rebellion, and nothiEg G

Obituary.
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 2, 186

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 2, 1881.
Entered into rest on Wednesday,
December 10, 1888, Mrs. Elizabeth
Bowers, widow of the late J. w
Bowers, of Brooklyn, n. Y, formerly
of Philadelphia.
In the death of Mrs. Bowers, the
poor and needy have lost true and
tried friend, and it will be difficult
to find one to fill the vacant place.
The young, the old, the rich and the
poor all found her constant and able
friend.
At her elegant and hospitable
home she welcomed many from all
parts of this and foreign countries
she was an intelligent christian lady,
and many young men and women
can testify how through her kind ad
vice and ample means she helped
them up the rugged hill of life and
made them self sustaining.
Mrs. Bowers was a commandment
member of the St Philip L. E.
Church of N. ", she was concious of
her end and satd to those around her
that her calm trust was in her
Saviour in whom she believed and
had implicit hope.

From lady who vas present at
Battle Greek, Mich, oR the occa sion
of the funeral Of the late Sojouner
Truth we learn the following par
ticulars; The funeral services were
held in the church, the remains OF
the deceased resting in a handsome
casket and being r3bed in blacI
satin Gown. The body lay slightly
on one side and presented the appear
ance of one sleeping There was
pleasant smile on her countenance
and though the cheeks were much
sunken and the hair very gray, she
appeared like woman about eighty
years old. That she was loved and
esteemed by her neighbors was
proven by the large attendance OF
both colored and white persons at the
funeral and the large number who
followed it to the grave. In fact
some pride was manifested that so
noted woman should have been a
resident of the toWn.-Er.

actor of New York city, left recently

Journalistic Depravity.

We conclude that journalism has
reached its lowest level when an EN-
ployee OF paper is allowed TO vent
his spleen and petty jealousies upon
gentlemen Ito whose standing he
cannot possibly attain, by an attempt
at blackmail. We refer TO an article
which appeared in last Sundays issue
Of Philadelphia paper, partly de-
voted TO colored society talk. The
gentleman in question, in what may
be ftly termed Bug@ardS Vonait,
made a decided failure in attempting
to impress bis readers with the en0r
naity Of an offense entirely visionary
and basely manufactured. for this
highly moral ge,at1eDaTe'8 affinity for
falsity, and bis unenviab!e position
among men, are too well known. His
initials are very suggestive of his
sphere in life, and as a natural Sc
quence it would be both impossible
and dunkind, enspectare a1iqujd db tale.
Our advice to such journalists C) is,
to exchange their pens for picks and
spadt 8, and inter themselves in depths
impenetrable to the gaze Of this horrid
world. Humanity viii not suffer, and
,he poor sensitive beings, so exceed
ingly moral, will enjoy peace aud rest.

COLORED PRESS COMMENTS

The New York Globe wants to be

signs Of the times leads US to believe
that the Worlds candidate will be
nominated, but we don't intend to
name him now World.
HARMONY IN THE REPUBLICAN PAR
TY.-Democratic organs are consider
ably excited over what is said to be
quartette composed of Grant Blaine'
Conklin and Logan arraycd against
President Arthur. We think it
quite likely that there has been
Hitln hand-shaklna laiteTlY on the
part of some OF our big ones That
an Arthur faction is to be forced into
existence the signs Of the times will
certainly not warrant US to expect.
| There never was time when there
was more harmony in the Republican
party. And this is true net because
of any one man or any six men, but
because the material welfare of the
country demands the protection it re-
ceives at the hands Of Rhpubllcau
principles.-Rul5etjn.
II SHOULD BE So,-A colored chap
lain-yes, why not? Several colored
regiments with white chaplains to do
the religious thing for colored sol
diers. Pshaw! This kind Of thing
is played cut. If We are to have
separate regiments, divided according
to the color line, then let there be no
halfway work. Let them be officer
ed by c0lored men. A colored chap
lain's prayers and ministTations will
weigh as much in the scales of the
Almighty as white. Then no more
Of this nonsense, Hub.
WITHOUT PomCY OR LEADERs-
Mr.. Carlisle, the Democratic Speak er
of the House of Representatives, has
succeeded in getting bis committees
made up. There is nothing extraordi-
nary or original in the effort, except
il be the marvellous lodging the
main issue upon which Mr.. Carlisle
was made speaker The man who
expects the Democratic leaders to do
anything bold or original will be dis
sappointed as often as he may SO
expect. There is not that in the
Democratic party which makes it a
bold or aggressive party. 1t don't
know how to lead public opinion, and
consequently always follows. The
people have too much manhood to
support any party which has neither
policy or leaders. The Democratic
party is huge bumbug.-Globe.
PLENTY MORE LIKE Hm.-We

Not more than couple of years ago,
when Mr. T. J. Minton was refused
accommodation at Wards 18th Street
establishment on the ground of his
color. Mr.. Gorham, then editor of
the National Republican, refused to
even publish a statement of the facts,
on the ground that it was merely
personal matter beaween Mr.. Minton
and Mr.. Wsrd. This is of a piece
with the idea that to assert civil rights
is to ask for social equality.-Advo
