National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1886-03-22

Republican newspapers have already be-
gun, in an earnest manner, to discuss the
question Of candidates for 'SS. This Is
premature. The first duty is to provide for
'sG--to look to the House of Representa-.
tives which is to be elected this year.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has already
indicated the policy that should be adopted
and pcrsistently pushed with view to the
rescue Of the government from illegitmacy,
and its restoration to the only lawful basis
the will Of the majority.
The disfranchsed citizens of Mississippi
and other states where the minority rules
by force and fraud should be helped to en-
igrate with their families to states where
they will not be liable to massacre, where
they will not be robbed Of their political
rights, nor defraudcd of their wages.
Its the duty of patriotic citizens OF the
north TO organize an emigration society
with capital and brains, with a noble cause
and sound business sNgacity, for the pur-
pose Of transferring the oppressed from
bondage to freedom, from darkness to
light, from danger to safety.
Even If no political object could be
gained it would still be great and
good work to help the poor aud
oppressed to homes where life would
be worth living. But It Is entirely prac-
ticable to put the usurping minority down
and out by transferring its victims to locali-
ties where all their rights will be safe. In
doing this work for SO, the Republican
party will be doing the best that can be
done for 'Ss. AS to candidates, there is no
need to discuss them for many months to
come. The national convention will have
an ample supply Of good material from
which TO construct ticket. As to the
platform of 'SS, it is already bult-unin-
tentionally and impromptu, but built none
the less wisely for all that. Here 1t is, the
work Of Senator HoaT;
There are three things and three things only,
which make up the Republican policy, upon
which all Republicans are agreed; three things
in which the Republican party must live or
bear no life; three things ineXtricably blended
together upon which our national life itself
! must depend; and they arc, absolute freedom
of the ballot, universally Of common school
| education, and the maintenance and elevation
| OF the workingman's wages. They orc three
things dependent upon each other Not one
ofthis sublime trinity can fail or perish and
either Of the other two SURVIVE.
If, by the sign Of that trinity, the Re,
/ publican party cannot win the presidential
| battle its defeat will be due to the coward
ice and indifference with which It has
looked on while freedom has been strangled
to death and lawful government trodder
under the feet of a party which is satisfied
with murder as its title deed to power,

The Latest Mississippi Massacre.

The cold-blooded murder Of a dozen or
more peaceful black citizens in the court
house at Carrollton, in the county of Car
roll, Mississippi, on the 18th instant, has
shocked the civilized world, although Il has
had no perccptibc effect on the bourbons
Of that state or theis brethren in other To-
calities.
The details Of the butchcry, as given In
various special dispatches, do not materially
change the original statement printed aud
reprinted in these columns last week. It
was an utterly unproyoked and a delib-
crate, predetermined massacre Of men who
had forfeited no right, and who had shown
their respect for the law by going to the
court house to facilitate an investigation
into the facts Of the trivial disturbance
which is the alleged cause Of the massacre.
The armed force that moved on the court
house, surrounded II, and opened murder
GUS fire on the blacks was composed Of the
class of men who rule that state with the
assent and fairly-assumed approval OF the
governor and Of all Mississippi Democrats
here in Washington. 1t was By just such
slaughter MS this that the Democrats cap.
tured Mississippi twelve years ago. BY
murder and fraud they have held the state
since that time. BY thcgeneral adoption Of
the Mississippi plan the various Republican
states Of the south were one after another
made Democratic until the south was solidl-
fed.
All the power that the Democratic party
holds in the national government to-day
rests on murder and fraud. It was the
Mississippi plan that made the election Of
a Democratic President possibility. 1t
was the Chisholm massacre in 1877, the
Yazoo horror Of 1879, Copiah in lss3-these
and hundreds Of other murders that failed
to attract national attention furnished
blood for the cement In which the fouuda-
tion Of the national Democratic cdilce was
laid.
But for such horrid crimes rs make hu.
manity shudder there would be no Demo.
cratic administration in Washington, aud
long rows Of men who sit In both houses OF
Congress would be in private life.
The home Of Senator George is in Carroll
county, and his colleague, Mr.. Walthall
| lives at Grenada, twcnty.fOur miles from the
scene of this butchery. Neither of these
senators, nor any other Democrat from Mis-
sissippi or any other southern state, ha.
denounced or will deuouuce this daEnablC
massacre. Even Brother DCecher and tn,
rest Of the Mugwumps are silent. Have
they nothing to say on an occasion like this
They cannot be expected to condemn tht
means by which they hold Office.
Murder, as they well know, is the Demo
| cratic title deed to power.

for the whole arrangement was simply
perfect. The church was most taste

over the vast congregation that had as
ssmbled to do him honor. The choir
and music was faultless, he sweet
voices of the singers arose and fell with
tender pathos that would move even u
heart Of stone into life and rapture.
Heaven has bestowed upon Miss Marie
LacOste one OF its choicest blessings in
the gift of a magnificent voice, which
has been well cultivated and used to adj
vantage. Ii seemed tame Yesterday
when | was in the church as II the
Heavenly host had poured down n
divine influence to suit both the day and
hour. Father O'COnneT gave a touch
ing and eloquent sermon the very
best I've heard for years. He
echoed my sentiments exactly when
he said 'That when we lose our
loved ones and the grave hides them
from our mortal sight forever, what
comfort would we have If II were not
for the consultations Of religion, and the
hope OF Immortality beyond the grave"

when this earthly bitter strife is DER,
something better 10 beyond the grave to
recompense us for all the trials and sor-
rows of this transient life.

ST. LOUIS, March lS.-The folio wing
kilograms were received to-day: Deni-
son, Texas, March lS.-To II. NJ. Hoxie,
First Vice President Missouri Pacific
Railway and Leased Lines, st. Louis:
Business men of this community think
that in the present contest between the
railroads and the strikers, the railroads
are unquestionably right, and that to
yield to the unreasonable demands of the
strikers would be public calamity. as it
would be virtual surrender Of the right
of property. There is no stopping place
between the present position of Knights
of Labor and communism, and We hope
the railroads will stand firm and let the
question be settled once for all. Public
sentiment is growing stronger and boil
der in its condemnation Of the present
lawlessness every day.
Then follow the names Of 40 firms and
business men.
CROCKETT, Texas, March 1S.-To Ii.
NJ. Hoxie, st. Louis: We, the under
signed citizens of Crockett, Hous-
ton county, Texas, desire herewith to
express our hearty approval OF
the decided stand taken by you in the
Contest peHulDS UttWttn yOuTstll anu
the knights Of Labor. We view with
apprehension and fear for our country's
welfare, the establishment Of principles
of dictation to corporate and Individual
business. Your success or failure means
success or failure to all enterprises re-
curing labor. Your cause is q just one;
your fight also: and we join hands with
you in the common cause. And now Is
the time to decide the question Of con-
tinued prosperity or continued want. If
you are successful, trade will revive and
flow untrammeled in its accustomed
channels. If you compromise, 1t will
only delay little while the evil day and
the present scenes Of loss and turmoil
will be Of yearly, If rot monthly, occur
renee; and we heartily believe our Legis-
lature should meet and enact laws max
ing it felony to interfere with, or block
the transportation Of the commerce of
our State or others.
This is accompanied by the names OF
6l firms and business men Of that place.

Affairs in Sedalia.

ST. LOUIS, March lS.-A special from
Sedalia TO the Globe Democrat says {:
The committee of engineers which has
been in session here for the past two
days decided to-day to stand by the rail-
road company and faithfully perform
their contract, unless they are forced
from their engines by actual violence.
1t is understood that the fremen have
have reached the same conclusion, and
both classes OF men now stand ready to
respond to calls TO run their engines.
This action has had no apparent depress-
ing effect upon the strikers, who are re-
ported as saying that the engineers and
firemen have done this from the start,
and yet the railroad company has not
been able to run freight trains. Chief
Engineer Arthur did not come here, as 1t
waB expected he would. He remained
over in Chicago. where, it is understood,
he is adjusting the difference said to ex-
ist between engineers on the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy and the manage
ment of that road. Governor Marina
duke and State Labor Commissioner
KatchtilZky passed through Sedalia to-
day, en- route to Kansss City. Both are
reported TO have said that they believe
the strike will be over in few days.
