There are among those most inclined
to discuss the political situation several
Republicans of some prominence who
have been at some pains to say that the
people are tired of the negro question,
and because they are tired of it the dis
cussion of Civil Rights Amendments is
not likely to become a prominent feat
ure of the next Presidential campaign.
These gentlemen incline to the opinion
that the Nation has done enough for the
cOlored people, or that it believes it has,
and the people at large. assuming that
the negro should now be able to take
care of himself. are not disposed to
weight themselves down with further
responsibility on his account. On this
theory the whole question of Civil
Rights is to be left to the States, and
present wrongs are to be righted by the
slow wearing away OF the prejudices.
1t might be said that if the rights of
the colOred people wer left to the
States, that in the South. where there
Is the most prejudice, there would be a
prompt denial of all rights. 1t might
be argued that if the privileges and
rights of the colored people under the
law were to be limited or defined by
those who had held them in slavery that
the prospect was not q very encOurag-
ing one. But the question is one of
principle now. just a it has always
been, and it must be met and settled as
the suffrage and other questions were
settled years ago.
The people may or may not be tired
Of the discussion. 1t does not matter if
they are, and it does not matter if they
are Lot. The people were disinclined
fifteen or sixteen years ago to grapple
with the suffrage question. and thou
sands of good Republicans thought that
the party was inviting certain, defeat
when it made negro suffrage an issue.

FOsTORIA, O., Jan. l3L.-The town OF Ar
cadia. six miles west of here, is blazing with
excitement over t~hreatenings made by un-
known parties to fire the town and murder
the best citizens. The school directors OF
the town have just built q S., 700 school
house. Among the teachers EN-.
ployed is a Miss Askcome. of Vanlue
who seems to be the innocent cause
of all the difficulty. On the 26tt
inst q threatening letter was found on the
desk Of the Superintendent Of Schools The
letter charged Miss Askcome's father with
Soon after this villainous communication
was received each Of the school, Director
got a letter threatening his life and property
ii he did not have Miss Askc0me discharged.
But little attention, however, was paid te
these threats, As they were supposed to come
from some IN who was jealous Of the
young lady.
Seven or eight of such letters in all wert
received, the andwritlng icing gOO0, whllt
not a single word was ~misspelled, showing
that the waiter was a person of education.
As a measure of p%recauti0n, watchmep
were stationed at the drugstore, school
house, and several other places, all of which
had been threatened, to save them from thu
incendiaries' torch.
About IL 30 Tuesday night the parties
made their appearance at the residence OF
Mr.. Morganthall, where the young lady was
boarding, and sent q large hammer whiz.
zing into the room in which she was sup
posed to be asleep. MOrganthall at once
jumped up and went to the door, when three
pistOl.shots were fired at him in rapid sue
~cession, one bullet whizzing by his head.
The m%arauders then decamped. Miss Ask
COME has rendered her resignation as teach
er, but the directors have refused to accept
it, saying they purpose to ferret out thu
whole thing.

peared from the Big Bridge.
New YORK, Jan. 31.-A dense fog COW
cred the city like a pail yesterday. Such q
fog has not visited Manhattan Island before
in years. The elevated cars, the STAGES anG
ferry-boats were crowded, and very natur.
ally all these routes of travel were subject
to i:cessant delays. now and then an acct.
dent, and uninterrupted confusion. At ten
minutes to eight O'Clock Engineer Tower, Of
the Sixth Avenue ~" Railroad, brought
his Harlem-bound train into the Park
Place depot at . rapid pace just ~ the
preceding train was starting to get out of
the way. For some reason or other the block
system, under which the trains were sup
posed to be running, failed to work In this
instance, and Towers train went crashing
into the rear Of the car in front with great
violence. There were only two or three
people in the car 1T the time, and no one
was hurt, though the dummy and car were
s~Orry-l0Oking wrecks
1t required half an hours labor to clear
away the wreck so as to permit trains to re-
sumo their running. 1t was nearly no0
before trains were running on schedule
time. All the car lines were thrown more
Or less of their schedule dnring the day.
Even the drivers of street-cars and trucks
were unable to see just what they were
doing when the fog y6s thickest. Bad as
the fog was on the SHEETS, ii was naturally
worse on the rivers. 1t lifted but little from
the face of the water from morning till night,
and those by the river side listened to an UNI
musical entertainment of steam whistles
without an intermissiOn. All the boats were
run at half speed, and it was . novel senSa-
lion for landsmen to feel themselves slowly
moving through the water, to hear the
steam voices hailing them from every
quarter and every distance, and yet to see
only the deck they stood on and the
white walls of fog around them.
To cross the Brooklyn bridge between
six and eight o'clock was like

with nothing but fog in sight. Walking
near the towers one could not see the big
cables overhead, and thirty yards away he
could not see the towers themselves. Only
he suspension ropes at the sides of the foot
bridge were in sight The majority of
he ferry-b boats stopped running altogether,
and travel everywhere was very much i'm
peded. There were a number of minor &C.
sid0ts, but no serious casualties reported.

But in the develUruheLs Of = policy
based on principle the Republican par
ty had come to a point where to stand
still was to 60 backward. The qucs-
ton was not one of personal taste or IN
clinatiOn. or of party convenience. 1t
was as much one of duty and principle
as was the defense of the Union, and in
those times Republicans won their bat
ties by clingiug to the right and think
ing little of risks.
Had they stopped then to ask If the
people were tired of the negro question
the Suffrage Amendments would never
have been adopted. Had the Union
men of 1861 stopped to ask if the peO-
pie were tired of the slavery discussion
the few would have answered for the
many, and the Union would have gone
to pieces. II the Republicans of to-day
stop to ask if the people are tired of the
negro question they will take a step
backward instead of forward. To
adopt such a course will be to subordi-
nate public opinion as well as principle
to the dictatorship of few self-appOint
ed spokesman.
The rule of Republican action has
been to dare a good deal and risk agOOd
deal for the sake of the right. When
the Civil-rights bill was framed there
was need for it in every State. Under
its provisions prejudices were driven
back, and cOlOred people made smooth
progress in the assumptions of citizen
ship. just how much progress they
have made in all the little things that
60 to make up the prerogatives OF the
American citizen is difficult t O realize,
until the memories of the agitation era
are recalled with the customs of the
present in view.
The law was made for the prejudiced
and the unreasonable, and it compelled
them to follow the lead of a progressive
sentiment. The law has now been pro-
nOunced unconstitutional, and already
the rowdysh and turbulent elements OF
society are making al attempt to re-
verse the order and compel a progress
i've public sentiment to march in sham
bles at the rear of the procession.
There is in the near future a retro
grade movement from the Republican
standards fixed by Lincoln and Sumner,
or a quick dash forward to a position
that will make sure of what they battled
for. 1t is the old question of the rights
of the citizen, and on this Republicans
can face only to the front. If there is
any doubt as to the rights of a cOlored
man, there are doubts as to the rights
of white men. The principle is to be
defended without reference to color.
In the face of the decision of the SUI
preme Court. the Republican party
not stand still. for to stand still is tc
make q backward movement. 1t must
