An amusing occurrence is reported
from Philadelphia. A newly-ap-
pointed colored policeman entered a
street-car. His uniform was spotless;
his brass buttons shone brightly, and
he carried himself with the air of a
Spanish hidalgo. As he gazed around
the car his glance fell upon an aged
colored woman who was carrying
home a great bag of clothes from the
laundry. The recognition was mutual.
"Why, fob de Lord!' she exclaimed,
joyously, "if dis amt Eli. Why,
chile, | ~sca'sely knowed We. How you

answer to her question. Eli had fled
with an angry expression on his pre-.
viously placid countenance.

The President has returned to Washing
ton from his visit to the South and there is
every reason to think that he is well pleased
with it. The people at every place at which
he stopped during his journey gave him a
hearty welcome, and showed him by unmis-
taxable evidences that they were satisfied
with his administration His Inauguration
marks the beginning of prosperity in the
South that HIS attracted the attention
of the whole country, and which
has, as yet, suffered no interruption
This prosperity was not brought about by
any particular act of his, and yet it is in
some measure due 10 him. His election
was accepted by the Southern people as
meaning that sectional feeling and preiu-
dice would no longer influence legislation
and that in the administration of national
affairs there would no longer be any dis
elimination against the South. They be
lieved that he would be President of the
whole country, and that he would exert
himself to bring about harmony in feeling
and interests. His record inspired
them with confidence that he would do
what was right, and that he couldnc be in
''NN''oNNA
duty. This confidence was all that was
necessary to insure their prosperity. Freed
from all anxiety of apprehended political
troubles they turned their attention wholly
to the development of the magnificent re-
sources of their section. They welcomed
Northern immigrants and capital, and
went earnestly to work in their fields
forests, mines and faoAories. The result is
well known. Only last week, in an address
in New York, Hon. Abraham Hewitt. one
of the ciearest thinkers and closest observers
in the North. said that by the end of this
century the South would be the richest sec
ton of the country.
The South undoubtedly favors the re-
nomination of the President, not because he
Is an exceptionally great man, but because
he Is safe man TO be at the head of the
government. He is the kind of a man the
people like. He has good Judgment. good
Intentions, and the will to do what his
judgement dictates. There are plenty of
ADLER men with just as good Intentions but
they haven't the will to resist the politicians
and Others who have selfish interests to
serve. Few men reach high positions in a
government like ours who are not so bound
by Obligations to those to whom they are in
debted for their prominence, that they are
able to serve the people as they should
The rise of Mr.. Cleveland to the highest
office in the gift OF the people, from an OBJ
scure position, in an unprecedentedly
short time is almost wholly due to his
fidelity TO the interests of the people in the
few public positions he has held. Had he
been time-serving, trading politician he
would never have been heard of outside of
Buffalo. If the politicians who make poll
tics business had their way he would not
be renominated, but they do not always
have their way.

War Barriers

The Judiciary Committee of the House
reported favorably the other day bill re-
pealing the act which prohibits ex-Confed-
crates from holding positions in the army
and navy. twill doubtless be the occa-
sion of some bloody shirt oratory, but il
will be impossible to advance anv good
reason why it should not become law. No
one doubts that an ex-Confederate would
fight just as valiantly for the national flag
as an ex-Federal. If oxConfederates can
be trusted to make laws for the country.
and to interpret them, they certainly can
be trusted to fight for them
Comparatively few ex-Confederates
would seek service in either the army or
navy, for the reason that age has untitled
them for it, but the removal of the barrier
that shuts them out of those services would
be an admission that there is no reason for
the existence of such a barrier II would
be another acknowledgment that the coun-
try is thoroughly reunited, and that if there
is not complete harmony of feeling and in
terest between the once divided sections it
is only question of very short time
when there will be.
persons over As years of age from entering
that service have been SO changed that per
sons beyond that age can now get employ
ment under the government The change
was made at the request of the South.
There are thousands of Southerners. i'm
poverished by the war, who find it difficult
to make living, although they have had
all the advantages of education and business
training. They are beyond the age for be-
ginning new career, and the government
service affords them an opportunity for
gaining a livelihood. The change in the
rules will not cause any loss to the govern
ment, because the men past As who get
places will earn their salaries.
One by one the barriers raised between
the sections by the war have disappeared,
until comparatively few are aware of those
that remain. All should be removed as
quickly as possible.

More Than Crumbs Demanded.

Our Washington dispatches state that the
probabilities are that the river and harbor
bill will carry appropriations of $4,000, 600.
If it does persistent effort viii be made to
defeat it, and the chances are that some
Democrats will be found sufficiently weak
kneed to join in the effort. The argument
will be urged that as the Democratic party
is on tie eve Of a Presidential election, it
must maintain its reputation for economy.
The argument in the last Congress was that
as the party had just got control of the gov
eminent, it would have to make record
for economy. If such arguments are to
prevail, the prospect for getting sufficient
appropriations for improving rivers and
harbors is a very poor one.
In view of the fact that no appropriation
was made for rivers and harbors last year
$50, 600, 600 is not too much to be appropri-
ated this year. 1t is certainly not more
than is needed. The partially completed
improvements in rivers and harbors are
now suffering great damage by being neg
lected, and, ii no appropriation is made this
year it will require millions of dollars to re-
pair the damage that will be done to inn
provements by the time work on them is be-
gun again.
The needs of the Savannah river and Sa-
vannah harbor have been presented to the
River and HarboF Committee as strongly
as it is possible to present them, and Geor-
gia's representatives Will see TO it that they
are not neglected as The committee proceeds
with its work. They win have to be
watched, and very carefully. The pressure

preparations will be very great, and the
improvements which are supported by the
strongest influence, and in behalf of which
the most persistent and skillful work
is done, will, in all probability, get the
most generous treatment, regardless of their
merit The Mississippi river, and, perhaps,
the Hennepin canal scheme, will get big
shares of the appropriation because the
people interested in them insist upon hav-
ing what they want. The time has come
for the South to demand fair share of the
river and harbor appropriations, and os
she is the backbone of the Democratic
party, she should refuse to accept the
crumbs for her share.

Louisiana is going to have an immense
State immigration convention on March 5.
The largest hall in the city of New Orleans
has been engaged for the purpose, and dele
gates are expected to be present from every
parish.
There are evidently some progressive, ag-
gressive and liberal-minded men in Lou
isiana, and they propose to see if their State
cannot double its wealth in the next few
years.
They have two objects in view. One is to
bring the unoccupied lands into cultivation,
and the other is to offset the rapidly in
creasing colored population. Both are com
mendable. There are no richer lands in the
Union than those of Louisiana, and not one
half of them is occupied. Her taxable
wealth can be doubled in ten years by
judicious encouragement of immigration,
and her taxes reduced one-third and per
haps oue-half. Why should the unoccupied
lands remain idle? Those who are afraid
that all the lands will be taken up and none
left for their children do not deserve pros
perity, and it is safe to say they will never
have it.
Now there is constant fear that the col
ored people will get control of the State,
and they are not yet fit to control it. White
immigration will avert this danger
Louisiana's example should be, and doubt
less will be, followed by other Southern
States. What a booming, growing State
Florida isl She owes much of what she is to
immigration. Is there not lesson in what
Florida has done, and Louisiana is doing, for

Kentucky appeared to be torn up with dissen-

unfortunately allowed his sympathies TO be
drawn out to one party as against the other.
and thereafter, becoming diSheartened and dis
couraged resigned The present Bishop when
called TO the diocese, was determined to ignore
these dissensions, and if possible to harmonic
his people, For some time no one was able to
discover whether his sympathies were with one
or the other party until, an occasion presenting
itself in a social circle a lady with the curios,
