has discovered that the climate of Chi
oago is altogether unlike that Of his own
sunny South. lie knsws that while he
is summing himself behind his native cot
ton gin or smoke house, Chicago people
are going about the streets In overcoats
or sitting at home by the fire. In 1850
he didn't know these things. lie came
to Chicago in white duck coat, low
vest, white pantaloons and straw hat;
and his eyes cleaned in establishment
at the change In the weather, and his
glistening teeth knocked together with
the cold. This year the advance sam

The reports of Senatorial investiga-

az the verdict of jury. The New York
Times, speaking Of two late reports,
very tersely says; 1.-THE Republican
Senatorial report concerning the Dan
vile disturbances, exaggeraies what
was n lamentable affair into the proper
tions of sanguinary political plot to
Kill and terrorzc. The Democratic Sen
atorlal report relating to the Copiah
county Investigation distorts the few
facts which 1t touches, beyond polit-
ical vendetta by calling It neighborhood
feud and attempts to distract attention
from the main point at issue by rhet-
orical flourish which bears no more rela-
tion to the Copiah county massacre
than II does to the resolutions Of l79s or
the Saybrook platform. Both Of these
reports are unqualiiledly partisan and
both were composed with other aims
than those which would guide straight
to the truth.

The Grant and Ward and Marine bank
failure grows more unsavory as the
details of the business are made known.
Ward seems to have possessed all and
every qualification necessary for sue
cessful bunko steerer, and his methods
are no better. He is most slick rascal,
and handled the business Of the firm
alone and with the confidence of all con
cerned. II is TO be regretted that Gen
eral Grant and his sons have suffered
such serious losses, but n prudent and
an honest business man would have
examined into the methods of the
schemes of Mr.. Ward and put stop to
them before the inevitable disaster
came. Mr.. Grant is entitled to no sym
patty whatever, for 1t looks very much
like II was his connection, silent though
ii may have been with the firm, is what
gave Mr.. Ward such fine opportunities
to play his grand confidence specula-
tons. A stripped suit for Ward and
economical penance on the part of the
Grants will in measure wipe out the
disgrace of this grand collapse.

A coLoRED clergyman OF Galveston,
II. j. Davis, in letter to the News in
answer to some statements made by
Senator "Rutabaga" johnson, regarding
the oolored race, winds the Senator up
in the following, most efiectually: "The
good people of Texas have declared that
the coming man must and shall be edu-
Gated, regardless Of race, color or servl-
tude, and (vox populi yox deli the peo-
ple's voice is the voice of God. Politi-
cally the negro is behind every race Of
mankind, but this is owing to the fact
OF his Intellectual deficiency, which has
prevented that unanimity which is the
very sheet-anchor of race pride. Finan-
cially he is also behind. This can be
accounted for when you remember his
commercial inexperience and lack of
the knowledge and rule of economy and
not being capable of handling money to
any great advantage. lie is behind in
other respects. But it can not be ex-
peoted that the unedncated negro could
have been accomplished within 20 years
what II took the educated white race
centuries to attain unto. But under the
leadership of such men as now stand at
the head Of affairs, these intellectual de-
ficiencies will be eradicated or washed
away by the streams that flow from
public sympathy. Many thanks to you,
public officials, for the good you have
rendered us as race struggling for in
telieetual life. We will always endeavor
to show our high appreciation for these
inestimabble favors. A word more.
The political situation of the negro is
pitiful beyond description. 1T is said
that he is used by one party as tool,
and Is therefore looked upon by the
other party as fool. But let us alone,
and we will assure you that the day Is
not distant when the negro will, without
hesitancy, not only choose, but go with
the party that will give him public
milton. Again to the Senator. Please
let the "nigger," as you call him, alone.
Grant this request, not so much for the
oolored man himself as for his deplor-
able condition, who never offended you,
but venerates your person, respects your
honor and esteems your virtues"

THERE has lately been great hue and
cry raised because juries have not done
as the public expected in number Of
instances, and loud demands have been
made for the Improvement OF the system
and the Punishment of the professional.
II was claimed, and with good grounds,
that the ends of the law were not
reached, and great criminals did not in
any measure pay the penalty of their
crimes. But along with the demand
that the pistol and the professional jury
man must go, something should be done
with the man who goes around asking
signatures to n petition requesting n
pardon for some man who Is serving a
term in the penitentiary This is as
great an evil as any Of the others, and is
far more pernicious, because the knowl-
edge that pardon can be obtained al
lows men Of cowardly natures to give
full sway to their passions, where other
wise they would not. The only way
that crime can be suppressed is to make
punishment swift and sure, and that is
why the man who circulates pardon
petition should be seized and loaded
with irons, and made to serve ont the
unexpired term he was trying to cheat
the Blind Goddess out of.

The Fargo Broadax, probably because

is hardly worth while to take
them up in detail and defend
them. Judge Clifford has lived long in
Dakota and has been with the people in
all their early struggles. He is not the
man to betray their interests when all
his sympathies are so heartily with them.
These intimations of railroad combina.
tions are 30 very vague that they could
hardly be entitled to credence alone. and
when the Brosdax couples with them its
statement that Judge Clifford engineered
the present railroad tax bill through the
legislature, the truth falls ont of the en-
tire batch. Judge Clifford had no part
in that nefarious scheme and has never
in any way attempted to influence rail-
road legislation.

United States cruiser Atlanta, which was

some reports to Jessie Lincoln, the eight

who is eald to have become so charmed
with the bottle of wine, decorated with
gay ribbons, placed in her hand for the
baptism, that she clung to it and carried

They assert that he has continued his
alleged misconduct up to the present

founding and painful stories about the
kovefnor's clandestine relations with
certain ladies. The ministers, however,
refuse to reveal names, or to tell what
the witnesses said. One story which has
leaked out from among the revelations
made before them refers to mysterious
veiled lady who frequented the Cover.

association Of ministers have prepared
the following circular. 1t will be sent
to . legion of anxious inquirers:

that during his candidacy for the gov.
ernorship Mr.. Cleveland did receive
largely Of the confidence of the clergy
men, acting in their individual capacity.
In ignorance of the facts concerning his
private life, and believing that he gave
promise OF Q pure and wise administra-
on,msny of them gave him their cordial
support. but while thus referring to
the truth of the past, it is bat fair and
right for us to add that since tEst time
evidence has been laid before us which
fairly, and as We believe unauswersbly,
impeaches not only the past but also the
more recent morality OF Cleveland rs

unpleasant task of entering into details,
which. however, are in cur possession,
and not az mere vague rumor, but in
the form of positive and circumstantial
statements by witnesses cognizant OF
