prices a little beyond the advancing tide. This is
the first purchase made and takes in the summit,
with some eight acres OF land that lie directly at
the head Jf Connccticut-aye.-the FIfth-avc. of
this metropolis. The purchaser was Representa-
tive Phelps, Of New-Jersey and the prico about
81 900 tor the acre. The papers approve the

Heightened La ITLESSNESS.
The recent bank failures in the
East have been more fully discuss
ed than any similar events of
earlier oecurfance. The dqPes have
been ridiculed, the dishonest sys-
TENS exposed, and the principal
agents of the pludering schemers
roundly abused by the press, pull
pit and private utterance. Some
arrests have been made and the
courts have manifested considera-
bic earnestness, under the spur of
popular indignation, in taking
aggressive measures against the
offenders, but here, says the st.
Louis Republican, the weak points
in the criminal practice comes to
the front at once. The intermina-
bic delays and numberless bubbles
by which justice may be defeated
are all at the defendants disposal,
and as he has had a sensational Ca
reer in crime, he finds no difficulty
in arranging e brilliant defence.
The trial takes place, if at all, long
after the events are half forgotten
and mainly attracts attention OF a
critical character as &c the work of
the lawyers. More commonly such
cases are quashed on law points;
sc often has this been done that a
feeling is abroad that superior
wealth, station and~lntelllnenee
may commit crime with impunlty. :,
Judge Gildersleeve, of New York,
in his charge to the grand jury
says: "a spirit of lawlessness,
bred of extravaganza or greed of
great riches. and taking root in the
numerous channels of speculation
to be found in our city, has been
spreading through the communi-
ty." He speaks of this kind of
offense as of "a most aggravated |
and appalling character" and of its
growth as alarming and as threat
ening not only confidence in corpo-
rations and great commercial
houses, but even the credit of the
nation. The men who violate con-
fidence in these cases are those of
education, great business capacity
and the highest social standing;
they are men who know better
and who should set an example Of
honesty for the more humble and
less favored element of society to
follow. The Judge also says that
this spirit of lawlessness "has de-
a class of criminals from
walks in life where We might ex-
oect 20 find those who respect our
avs and have some regard for the

KHAT DOES IT MEANe

WHAT DOEO II MEAN :
Tho election of Lynch, of Mis-
srssippi, negro, to the position of
temporary chairman of the Repub-
1ican National convention is now a
fruitful theme of comment with the
press. Tho BANNER has already
stated that it was delicious bit of
taffy thrown to the colored people
to catch their votes. They have
been recognized by the convention
and that is all they are going to
get from it. The Houston Journal
SAYS it is neither more or less than
n deliberate hosting of the
tbloody-shirt" as the flag of the Re-
publican party. 1t was meant as
an insolent challenge to the Demo-
Gratis. The Galveston News takes
calm and judicial view of the
matter. 1t says truly that politi-
clans never do anything without a
purpose; that there is something
up. What is itY is the question.
1t is easy enough to'see why the
southern negroes should hasten to
vote for one of their own color,
but why Mr.. Lodge should nomi-
nate him is another matter. Lynch
and the Arthur administration
have been at outs, and are still so,
unless Lynch has been "fxed"
since his arrival in Chicago. He
went there to oppose Arthur and
the Arthur men in helping te>ele-
vato HIM to the chair, did so for
political effect. The election Of
Lynch has its true explanation in
The two-fold light of a sop thrown
out to this element and of a shrewd
trick engineered by the anti-Blaine
men for the purpose OF keeping the
negro vote solid against Blaine,
knowing that the Blaine men were
pledged to support Clayton. 1t is
doubtful whether the Arthurites
have gained anything.
The Houston Post says the cleo
ton OF Lynch is the beginning ola
deliberate movement to secure vic
tory IN November by other than
the usual means. His elevation to
the temporary Craftsmanship is
plain bid for the negro vote, which
of late has become rather unrelia-
bic, and by the way, the fact that
a convention in which some of the
most distinguished men of the
country are seated, is presided
over by a negro who commanded
a majority of votes and defeated
one of the most ardent workers in
the party, is conclusive evidence
that the Republican party fears
defeat, and yet many conserva-
tive Republican viii question the
wisdom of this new departure. 1t
IS a move toward the complete
social equality of the negro, and is
likely to increase the ranks of the
Democracy.
Tho true explanation probably
is, the party needs the colored vote
and it was the idea ola shrewd
pollution to give Lynch the prom
inent, but unimportant position OF
temporary chairman and at the
same time help the cause of Ar
thur, whose henehmen seem to-
have instigated it. As tho News
says, it was simply a large frying
pan full to overfowing with politi-
cal "sop."

ELAINE AND LOGAN.

Tho Chicago convention after
four days hard and exciting work
its labors on Friday
night. Tho result is milk and
water platform, full of geuerallties
and so constructed as to please ev-
erybody; closely analysed it is
full of contradictions. James G.
Blaine has been nominated for
president, and John A. Logan for
vice president Blaine is proba-
bly, one of the best known public
men in the United States. He was
defeated before the Republican
conventions in 1876 and 1880. He
is a man of the most unquestion-
able ability and has been in public
life for many years. He has been
congressman, senator and secre-
tary of state. During and after
the war he was one of the most
bitter and uncompromising enc
mics to the south. 1t is said of
Blaine, that he is personally hon
est, but in political triekery and
jobbery great many dark deeds
are laid at his door; a recapitula-
ton of them would fill a volume.
Mr.. Blaine is q strong man and is
essentially n leader rather than
follower. Arthur has made an
eminently conservative and re-
spectacle president, and it would
seem that the politicians of the
Republican party care nothing for
conservatism and responsibility,
and they have rewarded Arthur
by giving the nomination to Blaine.
Blaine is ajobber and jobs is what
the Republican party has lived on.
If Blaine is elected and can bring
on a war with a foreign country
the United States will be compell-
ed to build a navy, and building a
navy is one of the biggest jobs
imaginable. 1t may be taken for
granted that the nomination of
Blaine will not be enthusiastically
received by the Arthur wing of
the party. When the campaign
opens an effort will be made to
control the negro votes of those
states where there are larger num-
bers of them in the interest of
Blaine, and it may be that in the
absence of any clearly defined is
sue that the bloody-shirt
will again be made TO play
a conspicuous part in tho can
vass. The Republican mana
gers are wholly unscrupolous, and
they have an unlimited supply of
money as we'll as the influence of
the government to help them.
Blaine is a strong candidate and
the very worst thing that could
happen to the Democracy would
be to underestimate his strength.
Gen. John A. Logan was noml-
mated by reclamation for the vice
presidency. Logan is in every
sense true Western man, he was
born IN Illinois in 1926 and was
raised there. His. education is
very limited, being such as that
acquired in the country schools of
his town. He is man of great
common sense and has worked his
way up to the United States SEN
ate. During the war he made a
good reputation as soldier, and
in presenting his name for nomina-
ton the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic were called
upon to vote for him because of his
war record. Prior to the war Lo-
gan was lawyer.
Blaine is comparatively a young
man, being only 81 years of age.
He is native of Pennsylvania,
but when young man he removed
to Maine and has since resided
there.

rights of others. There are thieves

rights of others. There are thieves
in all walks of life, and the cduca-
ted thief is much more dangerous
than the ordinary one. He takes
the advantage and betrays the con-
fidencc reposed in him, The thing
that is most needed now is, that
the heightened thieves be tried,
convicted and punished the same as
the poor thief who is caught in the
act of stealing som ething to cat.
The poor and friendless thief is
arrested, incarcerated, tried con-
victed and sent off to the Jail or
penitentiary without ceremony
the heightened thief is admitted to
bail and his case continued from
time to time until the crime he
committed is virtually forgotten
or the witnesses memory has failed
them, or they have died or moved
away and there is finally an &c
uuittal for the want of evidence Il

THE IMPENDING CANVASS.

The Dallas Herald predicts that
the great fury of the approaching
political campaign will be IN the
Southern States, principally in
Virginia, the Carolinas, Florida,
Mississippi and Louisiana. 1t says
that Blaine and Logan are enthu-
siastic flaunters of the bloody SHIRT
and every effert will be made to
influence the negro votes in the
States named. The Republicans
of New York and New Jersey are
business, commercial, and, con-
sequently peace-loving population,
One thing is certain, Blaine is one
of the ablest men in the country ;
he is a shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS
politician and neither he nor his
party managers will miss any OPP
portunlty of achieving success ;
they will not be particular as to
the means they employ and the
Democracy should be prepared to
meet them at every point. The
canvass promises to be the hottest
and most exciting in the history o f
the country. 1t is easy to draw
up political charts and to make
states showing that any desired re-
suit is certainty, but unfortunate
ly for the slate makers, politics has
demonstrated time and again that
figures are the greatest liars in the
world. The parties in the great
States of New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana are very nearly
equally divided, so near that a
change OF ten or twenty thousand
votes in either one of them may
turn the scale. A very large ma
jority of voters have we'll defined
political preferences and vote for
the nominees of their party with
out question, but there is in every
State minority who do their own
thinking and voting, and it is this
minority that actually holds the
balance of power, Election re-
turns show that they vote some
times for one party and some
times the other and that neith-
er one can rely upon them. They
are independent voters and vote
only for the man or ticket which
in their estimation are the best.
They know nothing of party disci-
pline and what is worse for the
party they refuse to learn. 1t is
with this element in the doubtful
States that the politicians will
have to do their chief work. I'm
the Southern States where there
is very large eolored population
every effort will be made by the
Republican managers to make the
negroes vote the Republican ticket
whether they want to or not. 1t
is not considered bulldozing to
make negro vote Republican
ticket, though it is regarded as a
capital crime if a colored man
votes a Democratic ticket. Cir
alter cases.

The Mckinney Black Waxy dis

those who want their advertising
done at very low rates. All adver-
tisers want their advertisements
inserted at the lowest possible
rates, while the newspapers want
the highest possible rate. Every
newspaper should regulate its own
price and if it can not get satisiac-
tory rates from patent medicine adj
