he State.-Cleveland Leader.


IN lecture to the cOlored voters OF
Virginia the Richmond State says
Nothing can do so much toward fully
re-establishing the kindly feelings that
once existed between the two races in
Virginia as the refusal of the colored
people to permit themselves to be mass
ed solidly in opposition to the whites
and to be led. blindly by a few white
renegades and adventures" Let the
negro voters go to the polls and vote the
straight Democratic ticket and the sweet
est of harmony will prevail between
them and the white Democrats-until
the votes are counted. Let them, on the
other hand, attempt to vote the Repub>
Icon ticket aud the lordly ex-Confeder-
ates will Cypress and persecute them in
every possible way. Complete surren-
der of their manhood is the price de-
manded by the solid white Democracy
of the South at the hands of the cOlored
men, and it is not matter for wonder
that the latter deem it too great.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Evening Post advances theory as to
the causes of the recent seismic disturb.
ances in the South which may be worthy
of consideration. He points out that for
quarter of century the almost mum.
berless oil and gas wells of the Pennsyl-
vania region have been pouring forth
vast quantities of natural gas from great
depths, and, in many cases, indicating
enormous pressure. Only those, lie says,
thoroughly conversant with the facts
can compute the volume of compressed
gas withdrawn from its reservoirs un>
der an unknown extent of country, and
he asks, may not the escape of an ups
holding medium constitute an important
factor in the recent local disturbances
of the earth in the United States?

The Old Wheat Scare Over Again

The scare over the competition of In
dia with American wheat in foreign
markets, which caused some emotion
about this time year ago, is started
again. The low price and the small
amount taken for export recently are at
tributed to the report that India wheat
is selling for less in London than
it is possible to lay American down
there for, and to the steadily increasing
amount of it going to Europe. The ex
ports of India wheat to Europe during
the three months ending with June of
1884 amounted to 100000 bushels. while
in the corresponding period of 1885 they
rose to 100000 bushels. and for the
three months ending with June of 1886,
to $4,000, 900. In addition the markets
for it are changing in Italy and France.
Italy in the three months of 1884 took
only 100000 bushels, but in the cores,
pOnding period of 1886 took 100000.

THE Prohibitionists of Atlanta, Ca,
who have had things pretty much their
own way since they came into power
last November, met with signal defeat
at the primary elections last week. The
issue on the nomination for legislative
ticket was between high license and
prohibition, and the license men won the
fight by majority of over a thousand
in total vote of 1900. The argument
of injury to business interests by prohi-
bition was effectually used by license
advocates,

Ex-Convicts Good Enough for Cleve-
land.

A Mansfield correspondent suggest:
that it is hardly consistent in the Dem
ocrats who are making such an outcry
about the convict" testimony, which
supports Gov Foraker's terrible indict-
ment of the Bourbon Penitentiary off
cials, to speak so disparagingly of class
good enough for Cleveland to appoint tC
Office. The force of this suggestion be
comes apparent when the list of the
Presidents appointments is reviewed
Asfew of the most striking illustration:
of their character are given in the fol-
lowing list
George II Sterling, dog-fghter and
keeper of low dive in Brooklyn, was
appointed weigher in the New York
custom house.
Exum Saint, of Indiana, violator OF
the pension laws, was made a pension
agent.
Samuel Morley, appointed postmaster
at Bridgeport, Ind, is an ex-eonvict.
Jerry Mulroy, assistant custodian OF
the Cincinnati Custom house, was a thief
who had served term in Jail.
Augustus O'COnnor, another thief and
jail bird, was given position in the reg
istry department of the Cincinnati post
Office.
George W Bryant, Cleveland's choice
for Minister to Liberia, rests under the
charge of making off with the proceeds
of church fair.
Amos Luke, appointed a clerk in the
Surgeon Generals Office. is burglar and
Jail bird.
Postmaster Dalton, of Lincolnville
Me-, is defaulter.
Richard Board, of Kentucky, a robber
and ex-convict, was given position in
the railway mail service.
CP Judd, of Colorado, special agent
of the land bureau. is horse thief.
When to this long black list are added
Eugene Higgins, the Baltimore bum
mer, Morris Thomas, the repeater and
tough, Z o Buck, the deadbeat, and all
the others who ought to have gone to
Jail long ago, the evidence is over.

ceedingly bad taste, all things consider
ed, for Ohio Democrats to speak harshly
of ex-convicts, especially when dozen
or so of Democratic roughs from Cincin-

Penitentiary for such crimes as ballot box
