character and is subject to 'crazy SPELLS" as
one of the neighbors called them. The theory
is that the father chased the young man from
the yard, mesa while belaboring MIN with a

exhausted, when he fell TO the ersond, where
he was found a few hours later. No arrests

THE insincerity of the law against misce-
genation has been forcibly proved at Mem
rhis, where George Batter was arrested for
marry ying a colored woman. He was prompt
ly discharged upon proof that the woman,
with whom he had sustained illicit relations
for years, was not negress but an Indian.
The absurdity, the injustice and malevolence
of this law characterizes its origin, which was
in the prejudice Of slavery days, when misce-
genation without license was popular, and the
intercourse Of whites and blacks was hateful
only when sanctioned by marriage. The land
is populated with hundreds of thousands of
men and women begotten under the @gis of
slavery and without the sanction of the law.
1t is simply monstrous to break up a marriage
between whites and blacks and at the same
time countenance alliances between whites
and Indians, and Chinese. We do not argue
the advisability of such marriages, but do in
sist that laws forbidding such are clearly un-
constitutional. In the instance cited here
they discriminate in favor of one of the most
vicious, worthless and indolent races that ever
peopled the earth.
The Indianapolis journal., 1885-07-29

WHY should it not have been expected that
Postmaster Jones' of indianapolis, would fill
his Office with Democratic ward workers re-
gardless of the rules of civil service reform!
Postmaster Jones is a creature of Thomas
Hendricks, and the creature is not apt to rise
superior to the creator.-Chicago News.
1t hasn't for a minute been expected that
Postmaster Jones would do otherwise than he
has. Mr.. Jones. while not creature of any
body in particular, is thorough, old
fashioned Democrat, and believes in Demo
cratic principles" The rub is that reform
administration should allow such perversion
of its professions. There were few, during
the campaign, who pat faith in the promises
of the party that triumphed. The few are
now trying to realize on their investment.
1t is useless to hold Mr.. Hendricks response
ble The appointing power is vested in Mr..
Cleveland, and upon him must rest the bur
den of responsibility. If Mr.. Jones suits him,
very good; if not, he knows how to get rid of
him
