forcfathers should bleed for II is the guardian
Of our peace and our prosperity, 1t is the
boast of an American citizen that, as SOW
orcign, ho sits in judgment upon his rulers
ana his magistrates; the elective franchise is
tho foundation stone to our liberties. Aud yet
we Of the south live year to year In violation
of these sacred rights. Instances are too
numerous for lis to deny II. But II has been n
governmentof msrulo which has brought us
to IL, and, us we believe, In this instance the
end we were to attain justified the means.
Calhoun predicted long before tho omancipa'
tlon that there would be n civil conflict; that
the negro would be freed that the south
would bo vanqulshed, and that he wished he
could live to speak upon the relations of the
colored mau TO the politics OF the United
States He said they would naturally side
undivided and as folid phalanx with the
people Of the north, and that there would he
with them few "prohigate whites" who
would be seeking the patronage OF the federal
government. Only too true have his pre-
dietious proved, and tho protection OF the peo-
pie OF the south has been their determination
to stand together and to have control of their
offices of government, although they were
forced to sacrifice some of the constitutional
rights Of their former slaves IN the attempt.
| Tho southern people, and in fact none of the
| Anglo-Saxon race, will submit TO be domi-
ncered over by any other race of people, and
the northern people cannot realize the truth OF
this fnct because their oppositions are between
| whites aud whites, and not between whites
and blacks We know that there have been
numerous election frauds in the south, and
| that the colored man S vote has not been fairly
! counted, but we do not think he has yet
reared himself to a position where his voice
should have equal weight with ours.

A Frank Admission.

The following admission that Cleveland
was fraudulently elected is COOL clear,
aud refreshing, and it derives additional
significance from the fact that it comes
from the Falcon, of Oxford, Miss, which
has been long recognized as the home
organ Of Senator Lamar. We call espe-
cial attention to the caption and the con-
Guiding paragraph of this leading edi-
torial in tho last issue of that paper;
CLEVELAND Is ELECTED AND WE ARE GLAD OF
IT, BuT WAS HIS ELECTION ALTOGETHER
FAIR?
We must acknowledge that the discussion of
political questions is not as free in the south as
in some other sections of the country. That
is, the democratic party is so greatly in the
majority, and pounco upon and critCise so
yrhemently their opponents that they shrink
away IN fear and dread and do not express
their opinions as freely as whero they are not
conscious of being in minority, Amy one who
opposes the methods Of procedure by which
our democrats carry their elections meets with
hasty condemnation at all hands, es-
pccally perchance he be n colored man, Mr..
John r, Lynch has recently given expression
to his opinion as to how we have elected Clove-
land aud what win be the result Of his cleo
ton, And we may now expect tbs press Of
the state 10 be all blood and thunder after John
H. Lynch, but hurt how 1t may he tells the
truth In that opinion more than once. lie
lays Mr.. Cleveland's election was by fraud,
and that fraud was In the south that as many
a. tWenty-siS electoral votes have actually
been obtained by the democratic party through
fraud.

WITH the text of the Nicaragua canal
treaty practically made public, all rea-
sons which have been advanced urging
the senate to consider the Spanish treaty
with open doors apply with double force
TO the consideration of the one first
named. 1t is sure to enlist the concern
Of the people to a greater degree than has
any contract entered into with foreign
power in many years past, and they will
rightly insist upon knowing to the utter
most all the reasons advanced for and
against its ratification. 1t is practically
the most radical step ever undertaken by
our government in maintenance of the
Monroe doctrine. 1t calls for the expendi-
ture of large sum of money, involves
the acquisition of foreign territory, ap-
peals strongly to our national pride, and
will beyond doubt be regarded with
jealous and resentful eyes by European
powers. 1t was undoubtedly negotiated
by tho government under the force of
grave considerations of traditional Amer
lean policy, and a necessity for imme-
date action TO prevent the work from
falling under transatlantic control. The
people should DO allowed to share with
the senate in full knowledge of the
nature of those considerations, and of
what we as nation will become respon-
sible for in q ratification Of the treaty or
will lose if it is rejected.

FROM one end of the country to the
other New York city is accused Of incom-
affair. Even the far-off Portland (oreg.)
Nelps takes q crack at the matter by re-
marking that the course of New York in
this matter would be "a disgrace to any
country village or slab-town." The New
York dailies plead guilty to all the in
dictments, but say it is all the fault OF a
starched-up committee, too high-toned to
collect the needed money from people
who are ready to give If properly ap-
preached. For all that, no one seems to
be holding those munifcont people back,
and if they are so ready to give, the
Evarts committee has more than once
widely proclaimed their readiness to re-
ceive, and it seems that they ought to be
able to send in their contributions with
out waiting for the committees collection
basket to be sent around, At any rate.

would send for their patriotic gifts.

The centennial jubilees held by the
Methodist Sunday schools cannot fail to
implant in the bright, fresh minds Of the
little ones lasting memories drawn from
the story of the labors and trials of Wesley
and his associates. The wonderful pro-
gress and growth of the denomination
founded by those men century ago is
not least among the mental movements Of
the age, and it is safe to predict that
recollections of its impressive story will
linger through life with many of the
children who took part in Sundays cele-
bratiou.

THE SCIENTIFIC BUREAUS.

The statement made by Maj. Powell, director
of the geological survey, to the joint commits
sion of congress which is considering the or
ganzation OF several scientific bureaus OF the
government, has been furnished for publica-
tlon. He classed the scientific work of the
government under two heads, the first includ'
ing constructive works, such as the erection OF
public buildings and the Improvement OF
rivers and nnrbors; the second, such works as
involved original investigation. The latter
included the work of geological survey, the
coast survey, the signal service, the tish com
mission, the national museum, and the hydro
graphic office. The operations Of such in-
stitutions he said were exceedingly complex,
and from their very nature could not be ante.

such original plan. At every step Of the work
plans must necessarily be modified, as neces-

such operations and more, " was Impossible
for the directors or superlntendents OF such
work to lay out plans Of operations which
should be a full guide to their assistants,
There was, however, a control OF the oinclal
