THE condition of the Ohio miners is
said to be particularly distressing. They
have been idle so long that their means
are exhausted, and hunger and exposure
stare them in the face The syndicate
have the men completely in their power,
and are determined that they must ae-
cept the reduction of wages. Not only
this, but the mine owners not members
of the syndicate are 80 harrassed by the
discrimination of railroad companies
working in harmony with the organized
monopoly of mine owners, that they must
discontinue work because unable to ship
the product of their mines. They earned
the enmity of the syndicate by continu-
ing to pay Toe. per ton for mining coal,
and the railroad companies have joined
in the effort to crush them. The courts
were appealed to to enjoin the railroad
company against discriminating, but
means have been found to evade the or
der of the court, and it is practically a
dead letter. The end will be that all
miners must work for SOC. per ton and
that operators not members of the syn
dictate will be compelled to lower wages.

THE fact that the negro is restrained

THE fact that the negro is restrained
somewhat in the right of suffrage in the
south has next to the bloody shirt been
used az an argument for the retention Of
power by the republican party. But is
there not an equal deprivation of this
right in the northern states2 Does any
one believe that the employees of manu-
facturers in the north are allowed to vote
N conformity with their wishesa They
are not kept from the polls but actually
forced to vote as their employers dictate
in many instances. When the coercion
is not so direct, the threat of discontinu-
ing work acts with equal potency, and
misleading arguments often secure the
end which it is said shot guns are the
means of producing in the south.
But granting that we are not equally
bad in intimidation, have we the same
reasons? The negro is ignorant, i'm
provident, poor and dishonest in public
Office. He is not inclined to be econom-
ical in his management of public affairs
IS extravaganza can do him no injury.
He has no knowledge of the legislation
the times demand. He has always been
content to be the creature of circum-
stances and more willing to seat the
bread of chance than that of toll.
Leaping suddenly from state of slavery
which fostered none but animal instincts
into full fiedged citizenship, he felt that
his emancipation made him a ward of
the nation and that while he had his free
dom it brought no responsibilities which
he did not feel while slave. To take
those things which came to his had was
the cardinal principle of his faith.
This people was made the rulers of
their former masters. Could there be
progress in the south if they were
dominant in the administration of its
affairs? Would the people of the north
yield the management of their affairs up
to this ignorant and irresponsible class
even though constitutional amendment
made it an imperative duty2 By nc
means. Human nature is not different
in different localities.

John Logan into the cabinet. During
the last session of Congress Randall led
the republican members in the only con-
