There is great wrath among the
Republican Senators and Repre-
sentatives. President Cleveland
moves straight along, correcting
abuses and inangurating reforms
whenever it seems best so to do.
The rascality Of the Pension sys-
TEN had been carried to such an ex
tent that any hummer could get a
bill through Congress for a Pen
sion, even if he had never seen
a rebel or heard a gun fire. The
President has called a halt, and re
turns those Infamous bills back to
Congress accompanied by his veto.
Every message bears upon its
face the impress Of truth, earnest
ness and honesty, and that is what
makes the new shoe pinch the Re
publican foot so tightly.
The people who read those veto
messages rise up, saying that the
President is right, and endorse him.
all political capital is thereby
cut off, and the average bowler
finds that bowling ouly makes the
matter so much the worse for his
cause.
For once the people of this coun
try see that they have a President
who has opinions of his own and
sustains his own opinions, and in all
his movements the evidence of pure
and honest intention is perceptible
to everybody.

In answer to the article appear
ing in the last issue of the Free
Press, we have but a few words to
say and no more We want it to
be distinctly understood, that we
intend to do no wrong to those
among whom we live and expect to
live until Il days are ended, and
that the time has cOme-and no
use denying it-when colored mt
who possess sufficient intelligence
will not any longer permit them
selves to be used and pulled about
by Il few selfish white men-nO mat
ter whether they were bOrn in the
centre OF the State of Maine, or in
Louisiana. W. believe in the prin
cipies Of our party so long as those
principles are kept pure and unsul
lied and not prostituted bv afew de
siSuing men, and we shall always
be found at our post when tue hon
est expression of al honest people
is carried out. We have long for
gotten how to dothose things which
are contrary to and in direct oppo
sition and benefit of the people we
are Identified with.
Whenever We are actuated by a
sense of duty and feeling, and know
ing that a wrong is about to be per
petrated on a people-no matter
what their complexion is-we shall
always be found on tho side of JUS
tice, even though the deviation of
certain principles is necessary, and
che Free Press man to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
We dislike to unearth the past,
because there are things buried
therein, which are unpleasant to re
call so wo are ready to draw the
curtain and let the dead rest.
The above is clipped from the st.
Mary Herald edited by two colored
men.
We have always believed tina t
when the young colOred people,
born within the last % years, be
came of age, the influence exercised
over them by designing men, from
other parts of the country, who
came here to ride into power on the
backs of the ignorant colored men,
would become one of the things OF
the gloomy past.
1t is very evident now, that the
young men of the colored race, who
have grown up since the war, been
educated here, and expect to remain
here, know that their best friends
are their neighbors and employers,
and have too much good, common
sense to swallow the taffy that
their fathers fed upon so greedily.

Senator Hoar has made a speech
in the Senate.
In it he made some rather re
markable disclosures. He forgot
the subject upon which he arose to
elucidate and let off a few pop guns
against Cleveland.
He said that Blaine and his
friends think that if tIn vote had
been fairly thrown Blaine would
have been elected. Senator HOar
had ii good deal to do in stealing
the Presidency from Tildcn, and
no doubt was rather surprised that
it could not be stolen tor Blaine.
The stealing triggers we're all bal
ted and set the morning after the
election in Jay Gould's office in New
York, but when the outraged Dem
ocracy of that city started down
street towards GouId's headquar
tiers, the traps were quickly hid
away, aud they all began to howl
fer Cleveland right Justify.
Ii only took them one minute
and a half to decide that it would
be preferable to be a live Cleveland
man than a dead Blaine follower.
Senator Hoar, no doubt, imasines
that it Was Il great wrong to have
their little innocent game stopped
so suddenly.
Hoar contends that his friends,
in the Senate, have shown great
consideration to the President. and
goes on to point out how many
more reflections were made to the
nomination of Grants and Hays
appointees than there have been
to those named by Cleveland,
which Only goes to prove that
Cleveland'S nominations we're more
carefully selected than those of his
predecessors.
Much consideration the Republi
can Senate has shown Cleveland,
forsooth The wo!f once showed
the same consideration for a lamb
that be wished to swallow!
After they had tried to make
him disclose to the Senatorial bull
dOzers his reasons for making re
movals, they did not allow a day to
pass without some of them rising
III Congress-, and with sneers and in
situations show their hatred and
malice toward him.
Mad they are !; but when they
see in every act aud every step the
President makes, the evidences of
honesty aud integrity of purpose,
the determination to do what is
right for the country, and not to be
ruled by any clique or monopoly,
they have only .to pull their halr
and turn up their noses, in vex IA
ton Of spirit.
Behind Cleveland they see the
shadow of the masses OF the couu
try, from one end to the other, III
all sections and divisions, ready tc
stand by and sustain him.
Hence, these crocodile tears. The
people have President whom they
know is trying to do justice to al
and every people. and they are &C
ing to stand by him.

THE RICHMOND Dispatch, in attempting
to sustain some of the State officials in their
silly and expensive levies for taxes in pay.
ment of which coupons are offered, says
the officers referred to are only obeying the
will of the people of the State, and asks
where can they find better authority? The
will Of the people of the State to which the
Dispatch alludes was obtained by the solid
vote of the negroes, ninety.nine hundredths
of whom would just as soon have the tax
one hundred as one cent on the dollar. The
better authority asked for can be found in
the Constitution Of the country, which de-
olares that no State shall pass law impair
ing the obligation of contracts, and in the
mandate of the United States Supreme
Court, which, Dy the result of the civil war,
If there were any doubt of it before that
war, is now the supreme law of the land.

THAT THE republicans of the North are
preparing to raise the bloody shirt again
and to fight under it in the coming Con.
gressional campaign in their section of the
country, ia made evident from the utter
ances of their representative newspapers, OF
which the following, from General Mahone's
Washington organ, is sample: "stained
with the blood of innocent victims, polluted
by Infamous and unblushing fraud, damned
with record of crimes that would make
barbarous brutality blush for shame, the
whole structure of democratic power in this
republic rests" And yet there are South
ern men who, either by active aid, or by
lukewarmness in the cause Of national de.
mocracy, will help such sectional, un-
patriotic and injurious party as that which
endorses his statement to regain possession
of the country.

ALEX ANDRIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 80.

AMONG ALL the utterances of the leaders
of the men engaged in any of the numerous
strikes that have recently afflicted this coun'
try none has been reported on the subject OF
the ruin of the small capitalists, the neces.
sary result of such strikes. The men whose
limited capital only permits them to employ
small numbers of hands are the only COM
petitors of those who employ hundreds, and
If they are forced out of business by the de-
mands of strikers, as many of them have
been, and as most all must be, as they can
not afford to grant those demands, the large
capitalists will have monopoly of the en-
ploying business, and will of course have the
power to employ labor on their own terms.
The successful business of the small capital
list is one of the greatest safeguards OF labor;
but it is another one of the many things
striker can't see. A strike occasions the
large capitalist, at most, little annoyance,
but to the small one it inAicts loss he can
ill afford to bear.

PREFERRED DEATH TO DIsGRAcE.-There
died Wednesday on the Yancey plantation
in Claiborne parish, La. young lady, Miss
Lucy Yancey, whose suicide seemed at first
inexplicable. Only II years OF age, hand
some and talented, of an excellent and we'll
TODD family, whose name has been great 10
Southern history, there seemed to be no rea'
son why she should take her life. Her family
doctor saved her at the last moment, when
death seemed inevitable, but when recovering
she again became possessed Of strychDine
and took dose which ended her life. A
letter written to her father in her diving
moments explained all. Living on the Yam
cey plantation was Ben Ford, a middle aged
negro, who enjoyed good reputation for
modesty and sobriety. The negro was
charged by Miss Yancey on her death bed
with having assaulted her near her fathers
house five months ago, threatening her life
mt the time if she betrayed him. She kept
the secret until she could keep it no longer.
In her desperation. ashamed 10 face the dis
grace that threatened her, she sought re-
lease in suicide.
