after using his ballot to obtain power
and now that the warning note is sounded,
colored men all over the country should
decide to throw their votes and influence
with the Democratic party, and thus de-
serve the recognition so long denied them
by Republican bosses. There is no rea-
son why the colored man should be os-
tracised, because he is colored, and if the
men Of that race determine to strengthen
the hands Of the Democratic party by
their votes and influence, they can look
ahead to a speedy delivery from their
present abject position, to a place among
men in the councils OF the nation, with
full guarantee Of all that was intended by
the Fifteenth Amendment to the Consti-
tuition, but which has never been given
by those who framed and passed that
Amendment

THE COLORED MAN.

The status OF the colored man, since
the day that made Abraham Lincoln i'm
mortal, has always been OF uncertain
quantity, and never of certain quality,
owing to the fast and loose, or shuttle
cock methods employed by the Republi-
can party, to win his political support,
and to ignore the claims of his race when
that support was gained. No cry taken
up by the stump orators OF that party
ever had tithe OF the JUNCTION in utter
ance as the cry OF Southern outrages on
colored men," and yet after twenty-five
years OF rule we find but one cOored mau
in high public Office, and he only because
he was useful to the party in whipping-in
political strength for them. Since the
change in Government, thousands of col
ored men who failed to obtain encourage
ment from the Republican party, have
looked to the Democratic Administration
for preferment, and because in the short
space OF two years, more of their number
have not been given office, they feel
sighted as race. This feeling found
vent in Boston on Wednesday last, at a
conference of the colored men OF New
England, called to take action looking to
their future status in business, society and
politics. James NJ. Trotter, an educated
colored man from Hyde Park presided
and addressed the conference as follows:
"These conferences and conventions" :" .he
said, "have ceased to do any good toward
ameliorating the lot of the colOred men by
acting upon the sentiment of the white peo-
pie of the country. The fault" he contin-
ued, sis our own more than that of any
other race in the country that we are not
free and independent men. The time has
come when the negro should demand a
whole loaf and nothing else. He has played
the half-ioaf game long enough. The only
place to affect the politician is at the polls"
This cry is the result of the hybrid
position allotted TO the race by their
ssrotimoniOus masters, the Republican
party, and ii the colored men OF New
England aud the whole country seek to
obtain their iull and free condition in all
the walks OF life, they have but to give
then allegiance and support to the Dem
ocratic party, and as is the case with that
party from its origin, it will ever be true
to its friends. There can be no better
proof Of the ingratitude and seldshness
OF the Republican leaders, than this
studied ostracism OF the colored man

BRITISH OPPRESSION.

Once again our columns are burdened
Ireland, and at the infamous city OF Bel
fast, where so many men, women and
children have suffered of late at the hands
OF cowardly mob. As has been the case
heretofore, religious bigotry is at the bot
tom Of the trouble, and the authorities
are powerless to prevent the fighting.
The Orangemen have again assumed the
offensive, and the minority Of Catholics
must stand the punishment because, for
sooth, the police are powerless. How
like a mockery Of the poor people this
sounds, when the proceedings of yester-
day in the Commons are read. A
Government that can send thousands of
constables and troops to turn the invalid
pauper out to die in the streets at the be-
hest of cruel landlord, cannot find suf-
ficient force to keep these devils OF
bigotry and intolerance from their cruel
slaughter Of innocent and helpless peo-
pie. Churchll's policy is outlined in
these things, and that it is one OF oppres-
sion by which to make coercion neces-
sary, no one can doubt, who watches its
workings, but the heart is palled with
fear and apprehension when it realizes
how desperate, bloody and terrible will
be the outcome ofsuch an unholy course,
in the reprisals these downtrodden and
outraged people will be driven to make.
They have been bounded as beasts for
years, and now it cannot be wondered
at if the Catholic people of Ireland
act like beasts, and revel in the blood of
those who have driven humanity's SEM
blance out OF their hearts and out of
their lives, by a systematic oppression,
compared to which the government of
the Russian Cars OF old, was pleasant
While it was possible to appease the out
ragged feelings OF Irishmen, the press of
the United States has counseled forbear-
ance, but in the light of these continued
barbarous starvings, murders and evic-
tions, it looks as if the flood-gates of the
wrath OF the people OF Ireland will be
loosed, and then the world will stagger
at the contemplation OF the deeds of blood
that must ensue.

SOME ENGLISH SALARIES.
Indecent Scramble for the Best Paid
Positions in the Cabinet.

An0ecent scramble tOr the Best Paid
Positions in the Cabinet.
London Truth.
The salaries attached to the offices held
by cabinet ministers need revision. The
amount is matter of haphazard, and is in
no way dependent upon the importance of
the office. The chancellor of the ex-
cheQuer and the secretaries of
state receive e5, 1000 per annum; the
presidents OF the board of trade and of the
local government board, and the Scottish
secretary, who, although provided with a
seal OF Office, is not secretary of state, re-
ceive only 80, 600 per annum. The result
of this has been an ignoble struggle among
several of the eminent statesmen who form
the cabinet to secure the best paid offices.
Irrespective of their fitness for them.
If cabinet minister of the intelligence
and position of Mr.. Chamberlain can be-
got for &2, 600, there seems no reason Why
the taxpayers should be called upon
to pay any cabinet minister more than this
with exception, perhaps, of the prime
minister. am surprised that so eminent
an economist as Mr.. Gladstone has not all
ready perceived this and acted upon it: all
the more, as he was with difficulty induced
to give up proposal to cut down the SAL
aries of some of the minor parliamentary
official fry-notably those of the secretar-
les of the board of trade and of the local
government board. If any one will tell
me why Mr.. Chamberlain is worth only
e2, 900, and Lord Kimberley, Lord Gran
vile, Sir William Harcourt, Mr.. Childers
and Mr.. Campbeli-Bannerman $4,000
each, he will enlighten me upon a point in
regard to which l. like most others, am in
the dark.
