National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1886-03-19

A majority Of senators, irrespective of
party, and few of the more venerable OIL
cials Of the Senate, are the only citizens OF
the United States who appear to have de-
luded themselves into the belief that the
locks, bars, and bolts on the doors Of the
Senate chamber are guarantees of the per-
petuity of the republic.
Sincerely as we respect this august legis-
lative body, proud as we are of its past,
confident as we are Of its future, it is i'm
possible to regard this custom of driving
the people oHt and locking the Senate in
when action is to be taken on such matter
MS the nomination Of Ensign Stebbins to be
lieutenant with any degree Of respect.
Although the Senate is not directly rep
resentative Of or responsible to the people,
it cannot afford to despise public opinion.
1t is the settled conviction of the country
that there is no occasion for secrecy at either
end of the avenue in relation to the ap.
pointment of citizens for the various de-
partments Of governmental service.
1t is our theory that all public officials
are the servants of the people-hired men,
engaged at stipulated rates of pay to work
for the people. If this view be correct,
what occasion can there be for secrecy In
determining whether it is proper to hire
Smith to run postolllce or wise TO engage
Jones to collect taXes9

\ telegram printed in the morning papers

figures. Here II is, and the readcrwill please

GRESADA, MISS, March l7,-NCws ofa ter.
riblC tragedy enacted at ClrrolltOn, an in.
terror town twcnty-iour miles southwest OF
Grenada, was received here this evening,
Fi1ymcn rode into the town aud repaired to
the court house. where thirteen negroes were
waiting for their trial to commence. Thc
white men walked into the court room and
shot ten Of the negroes dead and mortaly
wounded the other three, The shooting grew
out Of attempted assassination of James Lid.
del, prominent citizen who was shot and
seriously wounded By these negroes several
weeks ago.
The agent who wrote this dispatch did
not know, nor did any one else know, that
any one of the thirteen murdered men
had anything to do with the wounding Of
Liddcl.
It was suspected that some Of the accused
We're implicated in the affair in which the
wowding occurred, and the trial was for
the ostensible object Of determining the cor
rectness Of that suspicion.
Thirteen citizens Of the state of Missls-
sippi, assumed by the law TO be innocent
because not proven to he guilty, standing in
a "temple Of justice" unarmed and help.
less, to face their accusers aud abide the
issue, were set upon by fifty armed men,
chiyalrous southern gentlemen we have no
doubt, and shot down with a ferocity sell
dom or never shown by quadrupedal beasts.
If these men had been tried and con-
victed their slaughter would still have been
cold.hloodcd, damnable murder-a disgrace
even to such a state as Mississippi. There
is not single palliation for the worse than
| diabolical deed.
These cowardlY demons are the men who
rule this republic. BY suppressing the
votes of men incomparably superior tc
themselves in all that constitutes true man
hood, they have seized the government and
now hold It by bloody tenure.
How long will the intelligence and homo
Of the north submit to such rule?
Are the business men Of our great citie
willing to shut their eyes to such crimes
and let a minority rule by murder in orde
that trade may thrive?
If 1t be impossible to restore legitimNc!
TO the government in any other way, sucl
states as Mississippi can be relieved Of thel
dsfranchised citizens and the chivalrou
whites left to fight it out among themselves
There are states where homes, employ
ment, and political rights can be secure,
for the victims Of murderous oppression.

Opposition to the citizens school bill Is
confined within such narrow limits, the mo-
tives Of its opponents are so apparent, and
their arguments so weak, that 1t is not worth
our while to dignity them with extended
notice.
But there is one suggestion of a member
Of the House committee on the District Of
Columbia which demands respectful reply
When twas urged that the people Of this
District desired the general system Of school
management that had been tested and found
to work well in other cities, he remarked
that, inasmuch as our form Of local govern
ment was anomalous In other respects, we
could not consistently adopt the plans OF
self-gOvcrning communities IN relation TO
schools. His idea, as subsequently elabo-
rated, was that, because the United States
paid half the cost of the schools, the federal
authority should manage them.
The citizens bill does not propose to cut
the schools loose from the control of the
United States. The President and Senate
make the commissioners, and the commits.
sioners, under this bill, will name the board,
and, under existing laws, will have power
to name successor for any member Of the
board whenever they desire q change.
The United States in the persons Of the
commissioners will have absolute control
Of all expenditures at all times. 1t is only
proposed that the details Of school manage,
ment shall be conflded to twenty-four citi
zens, three in each school district, not tc
be elected by the people, but by the commits
sioners.
If this scant measure Of grace is toe
much, let us have a dictator-one man, mo-
three.

free Traders, iIIstakes.

The well-meanlng and wrong.doing pol
icy OF the free traders Is shown in the ap.
pointment Of the Mills subcommittee to
find reasons for the abrogation Of the
Hawaiian reciprocity treaty.
The United States admitted duty free
goods to the amount Of $lO3,2l3,624, accord
ing to the reports Of the bureau Of statistics,

More than one hundred and ninety.three
million dollars Of imported goods were
thus admitted into our markets d,ty free
from all countries last year, Of which
little Hawaii sent less than nine millions,
and was the only nation that made any re-
turn IN the way OF free market and other
advantages; aud, moyeover is the only
country that shows a great development of
