Col, Quay's Interview and It's
Meaning.

We published a few weeks ago an
interview held by Journal reporter
with Col NJ. ;. Quay, aud it would
Be we'll for the colored voters Of this
State 10 carefully weigh many OF the
things said in that interview. We
arc perfectly satisfied that Col. Quay
voices The sentiment Of the Repub-
lic4n party Of Pennsylvania, and that
sentiment Is and has baen to allow
tbe cclored voters to hold sham
State Convention Of their own after
the regular convention Of the party.
This convention has always been pur-
poseless. and had no result further
than Tie endorsement of the ticket
made by the regular party conven-
ton, and answered as sugar teat to
a child when afraid it viii be trouble
some. We are to be allowed to hold
another cut and dried convention this
wear, but are not to have any dele
gates, either 70 the State or National
Convention From what Col Quay
Says, Are the 10000 coored voters Of
Pennsylvania going to allow this d.
tation, are they gong to submit to
such contemplate tTe2tment' Why
cannot we have representation IN the
State Convention We are expected
to support the ticket when made. If
50, then we must have voice in the
making. If their il an opposition to
friends, then let the machine that
protects itself protect us, for as long
as we are part Of the party and in
variably give it our support, then as
a matter Of flirness and right we de
mand for the colored voters Of this
State representation. If We had an
organized body, consisting Of men
devoted to the interest Of their peo-
BE, we would make this demand
through such an organization, and it
would be respected. But our detences
are down, our forces are scattered.
We call upon the colored voters to
unite and close up the lines, and if We
are not accorded what belongs to us,
withhold our votes from the men who
refuse. For as factor Of the party
we are entitled TO a voice in its
makeup.

THE committee Of one hundred
showed their nonpartisan appreciation
Of the colored vote by beautifully ig.
noring Mr.. Jacob PurnelI, the col
ored candidate for councilman from
the Seventh ward in Philadelphia.
Always count that white is white,
and black is black.
Smith and Warwick have given
sufficient guarantee to the Colored
voters Of Philadelphia, that their in
terests will not suffer by their election,
and by SO doing have knocked the
props from under Mayor King.
The magnanimity Of the Repub-
lican party is unexcelled. Mr.. Aaron
Still Of Reading has been placed
upon the ticket for councilman in q
ward that gives four hundred Demo
cratic majority without an effort.

Official Outrages

Our minions of the law, in their
great treatment of unoffending citl-
zens, bid fair to eclipse New Yorks
famous peace disturbers when under
the leadership Of Capt Williams.
Not long since q colored man, who
bad arrived here from Virginia at
late hour of the night, in waiting for
another train, was driven away from
the depot and upon applying to an
officer for nights lodging was taken
to the mayors Office where he was
searched, (not being under arrest.l
Upon him was found a revolver
which, Notwithstanding bis being
perfect stranger and trayeleLproved
sufficient to place him in quod and
have his case railroaded to court.
Such is the oficiousness Of some of
our blue coats. This supreme effort
at guarding the citys interest was
outdistarced, however, last Saturday
night by pure case Of atrocious as
sault and battery perpetrated by c
couple of this same brotherhood.
A well known and respectable col
ored citizen returning, comparatively
early in the evening, from an GRAND
for his sick wife was approached by
these overwatchful officers and ques-
toned as to what he had in bis
pockets. Thinking the questions
wholly uncalled for he refused to en-
tighten them. He was, therefore,
seized, struck upon the head, hand
cufed and marched down the street.
After having had sufficient amuse-
ment at the gentleman's expense,
they released him and told him "to
60 home to his sick wife" And
this high handed outrage for moth
ing except it be color.
Surprising for argument sake that
the gentleman was guilty of crime,
what authority had they to release
him? Why did they not proceed
with him to headquarters? When
arrests are made, the proper thing, as
we understand, is to accord the pris-
oner sort of hearing, if it does prove
a farce, IS is often the case. From
their action it appears that our patrol
men are vested not only with police
authority but also with the powers of
judge, jury and executioner.
We denounee such actions as con
trary to the liberty which is supposed
to permeate our very atmosphere and
of which we boast with unfeigned
pride; we stamp them as glazing out
RACES derogatory to good government
as symptoms of oppression and mis-
rule, and further, we demand that
that steps be taken 10 check this spe-
cies of lawlessness. Ifthis thing is to
continued, no citizen will be safe
from these attacks with flavor of the
Jesse James order.

The Privileges Of the Press.

That the press il q BENEFICIARY to
the masses in many instances is q
fact long since established. It i
the medium through which the civ
ilized world is made cognizlnt Of the
transactions, news and incidents we
often encounter; that which gives US
pleasure, that which causes pang
ana that ia which we are not at all
interested personally; that which
does not awake in US emotions Of
some kind, perhaps has its effect
upon those who are removed from US
by breadth, width or distance; thus
all publications are in some way
very effective. How circumspectively
then ought We to live, how exemplary
should we shape our course that our
neighbor can do aught but commend
A mean niggardly act or transaction
in whatever shape often follows Us
through life, ana when our ambl
tious inclinations cause Us to aspire
for honors, and when we seem ID the
zenith of GU achievements, We are
confronted with discour3 giDg articles
founded on an incident Of fact, which
brushes our feelings, brings sorrow
to our friends aud blasts to the four
corners our coveted prize, while this
is detrimental to the party or parties
thus aspiring. Their failure, The
narrow escape II beneficial to the
many. So in all shares Of life, every
man or woman, | mean those skilled
in the sciences, the preacher, the law
yer,the musician, vocal or instrumen-
tai, the teacher, the politician, the
statesman, the ARCHITECT and all pro
LESSONS and calIings Of public char
acter, il their advent before the pub
lie, lay themselves liable to criticism.
If their lives be upright and they are
the martyrs Of their special calling
there can be only favorable cam ment.
IF otherwise than favorable they show
bad taste when they sqUirm and 60
grumbling around about the ''giying
away" Of trust. "A musician has no
more right to crowd badly sung or
played piece upon the public and be
excused from criticism than has a
doctor to prescribe and administer
poisonous doses, which are detriment
to the patient. In either and all cases
the press il privileged to call the At
tention Of the public to the facts.
If you arc not competent and cant
stand fire, then stay in the back
ground. "Our friends are those who
tell us Of our faults" Therefore the
press, generally, is the friend Of the
public, and if the friends with whom
we are identified are ignorant Of this
fact, they cannot too soon acquaint
themselves with it.

Judge ,Wm. Brown, of Rockford, IS on
the stump making republican speeches,
aRd the language he uses reflects discredit
on any honorable man, much less judge
of the circuit court. The Freeport Daily
Bulletin published in Browns district,
takes him to task as follows:
We yesterday published an extract
from Judge Browns harangue at Rock
ford, but his language is so extraordinary
coming from judge upon the bench, or
from any source outside of an asylum, that
it will bear repetition. Referring to the
possible success of the democratic party,
be said:
THE country would be deluged with
iltemperance, murders would take place
on the corners OF every street, outrages
would be perpetrated everywhere, the
whole land would become bad and
wicked, the majority of the people would
beaOme drunkards Every mar
would become a common drunkard under
democratic rule"
We submit that man who can allow
LIE Hluu 10 DtCOule 50 pTeJuulCcu dSdluS
at least half of the people of the United
States is not fit to be judge. He is no
competent to pass fair judgment upor
the property, the liberty and the lives o
his fellow men. He is too bigoted, toC
narrow in his views. his intellect is to-
weak, his mind is too miserably mean tC
enable him to grasp anything more thar
mere techniealites The broad princi
pies of equity upon which our system o.
jurisprudence is based would inevitably
exclude him. Even if he were able to di
vest himself of his blind prejudice, W.
hold that man who would tell an audi
ence what Judge Brown told his Rockford
hearers is too hopeless fool to dscid,
intelligently the many puzzling and intri
cate questions continually arising in {
court of justice.
When his present term expires, Mr.
Brswn should never again be permitted
to held judicial position. He is dan
gerous man. 1t may be that the gentle
man is not in his right mind An eyt
should be kept on him. His recent utter
ances are certainly not those of a SAINT
man.

The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-10-09

The Labor Record, the organ of the
New York Trades Assembly, calls on the
workingmen ,of the country to support
Cleveland for the following reasons;
Labor is organized in the state of New
York. A representative body is the State
Trades assembly. 1t is not organized for
political purposes, but has for
its sole object the advancement of the
condition of the workingmen in all
things. 1t has for years applied to the
great political organizations for assist
ance and consideration. 1t has received
these only from the democratic party.
Organization in this branch of endeayor
has had its effect, as it does everywhere
And so it came about that in 1882. as a
result of organization, and, for the first
time, it presented well defined conten-
tons. with which it appeared before the
two great parties of the state-the demo-
cratic and the republican. The republI,
can party gave no heed whatever to its
request. The democratic party listened;
and believing in them embraced them in
their platform of that year. Upon this
platform Grover Cleveland was placed by
the democracy of the state, and upon it
he was elected to be governor. His faith
ful adherence to the pledges and promises
of that platform is known to all men, and
so faithful as to be regarded the begins
ming of new era in politics, when can
didates would regard the obligations of
formulated party utterances.
