THE ER. lNCHISE.

Recently we saw an article in an
exchange headed: "Ingraiitudc of
the colored people" We did intend
to clip it with comments but it es-
capcd our notice at the time and the
PAPER was mislaid. 1t is a fact too
well known to those who live among
them, that they are the most docile
race and yet susceptible Of less graf
itude than any race on earth. You
may save ones life today and to-
morrow he can be bought off from
YOU with small sum of money; and
vet they do not seem, as n race, to
harbor revenge As 10 whether they
are TO he blamed for their mate dis
position we do not pretend to be the
Judge: but that some laws to meet
the case end prevent this power for
evil should be enacted we are sure,
lust how TO meet it is n difficult mat
ter. There Is no harm in discussing
question of such vital importance.
A paltry sum in the hands of Il bad
man may change the result of Il par
ish or district election.
It is now getting time that the
people who contribute to the main
tenance of the government, pay their
taxes &c, take hold of this matter
and bestir themselves for the good
of the country AMI not permit the
ballot box which should be the most
sacred thing in the land, disgraccd in
the way it has been for the past few
years. Taxes and representation and
especially Intelligence, should rule
and not corruption and ignorance.
Let intelligence rule, and for all that
is sacred let us, with one accord, try
to check this political corruption.
We have it in our power, shall we
exercise the power or shall we re-
main idle and permit this corruption
to 90 unchecked?

THE Springfield Repn'Rtcan says:
President CLEVELAND does not smile,
on his nephew as an otiice-seeker.
Congressman FoR,N, of Cleveland,
thought he had n dead sure thing,
in indOrsing CHARLES CLEVELAND, the
Presidents nephew, for appraiser Ill
the Cleveland custom-house, the first
Office in that city to which an APP
pointment was to be made. FoRAN
and the nephew were accordingly
surprised when JOSEPH VI. PoE, an
ex-member of the Legislature, re-
ceived the appointment. The neph-
ew says he had no correspondence
with the President, except to file h is
application, and that, while he is
disappointed, he has no complaint to
make. GROVER CLEVELAND shows eX
cellsnt sense of official propriety in
steering clear of the petty vice of
nepotism, and also shows himself
wise and kind uncle in not encourag-
ing the young CLEvELANps to hang
upon public Office for living.
Nothing breaks up a likely young man
who has the making of good career
of independence, so quick as to fix
his ambition on appointive office.
1t generally throws man out of his
professional or business career, while
it opens to him only limited pros
pect, liable periodically to intern up
ton"
President Cleveland has shown his
good sense in snubbinS a nephew as
will be seen by the above and this
strikes us as eminently proper and
sensible. A relative who claims sup
port or favorable consideration for
relationship is not worthy of a posi-
ton, one who claims favoritism and
opposes a relative on the grounds of
no promises is not worthy of any
position.

that the opponents of fhe NIu@wunp

Dueling in Mississippi

Two prominent and promising
young men in Mississippi fought
duel on Monday. One was killed and
Leaf lying alone on the ground where
he fell The other has surrounded
himself to the authorities. The ap-
peal to The "code of honor has PROV
en- only that both men were wanting
in common sense, in moral courage
and in religious principle. They have
settled no question at issue between
them; have gained nothing; and have
lost-the one his life, and the other
all that made life worth living, clear
conscience and heart devoid Of
wrong toward God and man. An
evil example has been set to other
rash young men, everywhere, and a
great trouble has been needlessly in
flicted upon the innocent members of
the families Of the slain and slayer.
If there is no law against duelling in
Mississippi, it has now been made
very plain that there ought to be one.
