For COlOrcd Citizens.
A large meeting of the color-d people OF
Norfolk, Va, WAS held few evenings ago. al
which regularly appointed debnters discussed
for three hours the question, "Can a coiored
,itzen become democrat through prnciple2' q
The affi native speaker maintained that the
CO, orrd people we're not indebted 10 the repub-
lican party, but to the war, for their freedom,
and heartily commended the utterances Of
President Cleveland in his inaugural in regard
to the freedmen. The remark. of the negative
speaker were of the war issue kind, and full
scne in praise Of Senator Malone, no was
pronounced ''tbe best friend The cOlored race
ever had" But such arguments failed TO con.
vince, and the audience unanimously voted
that a colored citizen could become demOcra,
through principle. Sun.

unfortunate for II weather prophet who always
takes good care to cover plenty of ground with
his prtdictouS. Wednesday of last week his
great March storm was TO burst upon the
world and, as he took in all the space from
the Arctic circle to the parallel of S,ndy Hook,
he WAS justified in feeling pretty sure that in
this windy month storm would certainly oc-
cur somewh here within those broad boun' triss.
But his usual i'll luck WAS upon him. and the
nortber hemisphere smiled with blight skies
u, it seldom does in March. There was snew
storm down South, hut that, unfortunately,
W. outside OF Virgins chosen hail:wick. 1t
is 20 he noted, however, that Virgins threaten
e. US with earthquakes ms well MS with great
orm and there really little shaking Of
the ground up in New Hampshire. Men Of
genius sometimes mistake the exeCt bent OF
their powers and possibl, Wig ms was born
for an earthquake foreieller in~te.d of a storm
prophet. He should not too hastily risk his
reputation, however, tut try small earth
