Barbarism in Mississippi.

An attempt was made in the house
of representatives, a few days ago, to
have committee appointed to investi-
gate the recent massacre of negroes at
-Carrollton, Mississippi. Mr.. Reagan of
Texas objected to the consideration of
the matter on constitutional grounds,
and it went over. 1t was stated in the
resolutions that the grand jury of the
county in which the massacre occurred
refused to take cognizance of the affair,
and the governor of the state says there
is no necessity for interference on his
part. The facts of the case are these {:
Two negroes, said to have been hard
characters, had shooting affray with a
white man, said to be respectable, in
which all three were wounded. While
the affair was being Investigated, one
hundred white men surrounded the
courthouse, and, in order to compass the
death of the two negroes, began firing
Unfortunately upon all the negroes
within. In few minutes the two Of
fensive ones were dead, and eleven
more were either dead or MORALLY
wounded, and seven others had been
shot down. In other words, twenty ne
groes had been shot because certain
white men had decided that two We're
unfit to live. No white person was
hurt. That the affair was in no sense
political does not mitigate its atrocity.
So far as we have seen, but one North
ern journal of any prominence has
sought topalliate the crime, and this on
the ground that it was no worse than the
massacre of the inoffensive Chinese in
Wyoming. But there is this differ
ence: that in the latter case efforts
have been made to bring the perpetra-
tors to justice, while in the Missis-
sippi affair the authorities manifest the
utmost indifference, and in this course
they are sustained by large portion of
the southern press. 1t is made apparent
that the Carrollton negroes were shot
because they were venturing to furnish
testimony against white man, and it
affords another illustration of the
methods by which the Mississippi bour-
bons maintain their supremacy in po-
litical and civil affairs.

Party.
nations

In the last issue of Harper'S Weekly
Mr.. Curtis denies that the mugwump
policy aims at government without
party. He even recognizes the neces-
sity of sacrificing personal preferences
to the accomplishment of common
purpose, though he gives no instance
where mugwump has ever made such
concession. This brief exposition of
mugwump policy differs essentially
from that promulgated by other leading
adherents of that faction. In the cam
paign of 1884 several prominent mug
wump speakers and newspapers omitted
no occasion to renounce allegiance to
party and to advocate non-partisan
methods in administering the affairs of
government; and they ridiculed the
idea that anybody was bound to make
personal sacrifices for the benefit of a
political party. They held, in sub
stance, that in politics every man was a
law unto himself. One of their princi-
pal newspaper organs asserted that the
" Independents" now more commonly
called mugwumps, did not belong to
any party, and felt under no obligation
to support any man or policy which was
obnoxious to them. Party loyalty was
derided by them as sentimental alb
surdity, and many of them declared
that government by party had been a
failure. Their rancorous opposition to
the election of Mr.. Blaine was pre-
text to cover Interior purposes. They
aimed at the disorganization of parties
They have demonstrated their ability
to demoralize party organization, but
they have developed no constructive
power The tendency of their doc
trines is to substitute government by
faction for government by party.
They are nothing better than political
bushwhackers; they have no party or
ganization, and no principles that take
a vigorous hold on popular sentiment.
They have succeeded in defeating one
party in national election and in Gre
ating friction and discord in another
party, but they have failed to accom-
plish any results of practical value to
the country.

Adjustment Between Labor
and Capital.

The relations of labor and capital and
the remedies for labor troubles are ably
discussed in the second number of The
Forum, a new high-class periodical, by
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, who is himself a
large employer of labor. There can
be no permanent adjustment between
capital and labor until strikes and
lockouts are made things of the past.
Among the expedients suggested for
their better reconciliation is that of CO.
operation; but Mr.. Carnegie finds many
difficulties in the way of its success,
and believes that twenty cooperative
concerns would fail to every one that
would succeed, and for these reasons
"The unequal business capacity in
their management would produce I'M
equal results. 1t will be precisely the
same if one of these manufactures be-
longs to the workmen themselves; but
in this case, in the present stage of de-
velopment of the workmen, the chances
of failure will be enormously increased

Each Case on Its Merits.

The republican senators held eau
Gus last Thursday, it is said at the re-
quest of Mr.. Edmunds, to determine
their policy in regard to presidential
nominations where the papers as to sus-
pensions have not been furnished. The
Boston Journal correspondent says:
The finance committee was arraigned for
having reported the internal revenue col
sion where the papers asked for by the SEN
ate had not been furnished. Senator Nor
rill chairman of that committee, is re-
ported to have said that particularly the
Edmunds resolutions were without effect
were brutona ful,aen "a harmless thunder
bolt) and that combinations should proceed
as usual. AT this Senator Edmunds is re-
ported to have been greatly incensed, and
there was heated discussion.
No definite action was taken, and the
caucus adjourned until Friday, when
there was a session lasting three hours.
From several reports of the proceed
ings, we learn that Mr.. Edmunds took
the ground that it was the understand
ing that the republican senators were
bound by the principle of the third res
olution recently adopted in the senate,
relating to combinations where the
papers were not furnished. Messrs.
Morrill,, Van Wyck, Mitchell, Teller,
Platt, Plumb, Dolph, Cameron and
Hale took the ground that it was with
the understanding that the resolutions
should not be binding that they voted
for them. One of them quoted Senator
Hoar's speech, in which he expressly
laid it down, and, as he is a men,
Der of the judiciary committee, his
statement was regarded as authorita-
tive. These senators held that it
would not be "good politics" to make
factious opposition to any fit nomina-
tons, and thereby create deadlock
between the President and senate and
confusion in the public service, but
that the better policy was to act upon
every nomination on its merits. They
were willing to confirm in all deserving
cases where it was made clear that the
removals were for political reasons
only. In regard to the suspended in
ternal revenue collectors, Senator Nor
rill said that it was known from the
letters of Secretary Manning and from
other sources that these removals were
made wholly for political reasons, anC
that it was unnecessary to inquire
further in such cases. He thought the,
should be confirmed in the interest o
the public business, regardless of TIT
