The Yamacraw ARRAY.

Satan generally finds evil for idle hands
TO do. Yesterday being a holiday, there
were many idle hands in Yamacraw, and
good deal of evil was done. One colored
man was killed. Three colored men, one
white civilian and two policemen were
badly wounded
| If yesterday had not been a holiday,
there would have been nobody hurt in Yam
acraw, in all probability. or perhaps there
would have been no disturbance if there
had been less bad whisky drank.
By noon a great many of the idle colored
men were partly intoxicated, and were in
condition to do almost any evil deed on
very slight provocation. A drunken colored
man, who was a peace disturber, was ar
rested hy policeman. He resisted, and
struggle ensued. Dozens Of c0lored men and
women rushed 10 the assistance of the col
ored man who was fighting the officer
There was serious trouble at once The
officer used his pistol and the negroes used
clubs, knives and stones Assistance came
TO the officer, and more excited negroes
joined in the ARRAY. There were hundreds
of them and they acted more like demons
than human beings. The women were
more revengeful and bloodthirsty than the
men. They urged the men to attack the
Ulcers, and they leu the attack.
The casualties were as above stated. til
a wonder that more were not killed and
hurt.
An earnest effort should be made to arrest
and punish every one of the negroes VINO
took a leading paro in the affray. The pun
ishment should not be light 1t should e
as great as the law would permit. The
colored as we'll as the white people of this
city must be made to respect the law. a
policeman is a representative of the law.
An assault upon him is a violation Of tie
law independent of the crime against the
person.
There is no discrimination against the
colored people in this city by the officers Of
the law. All law breakers are treated alikc.
The coio:ed people, however, appear to har
Dor bitter feeling against the police The
must get rid of that The police protect
them as well as the white people, and they
should uphold the police. Unless they re-
spect the police, they are likely to be led into
serious trouble, and they will be the chief
sufferers. The law is going to be enforced
at whatever cost.

Particular About the Thunder.

From the CHICAGO Journal.
Speaking of thunder" said Duncan Harrison
yesterday to group of actors and newspaper
men who had been discussing shop, speaking
OF thunder, recollect recent occurrence in an
English theater where the manager had just
built bowling alley upon the flies with the
idea that rolling the balls down the alley would
produce very excellent quality of the article,
On the day of which speak he had invited 4
number of his friends 10 witness the success Of
his invention They all came, and the manager
gave the word, and the rolling began. The
effect was really quite good, and much better
than any one OF those present were accustomed
to hear But the manager was in a critical, in
fact hypercrtical mood and seemed bound
not to be satisfied with she best efforts of his
men above. Bad. very bad, and not bit like
it, he would cry, do it Again and for upward
of an hour the mock thunder continued, but the
manager was apparently no better pleased than
at first. Finally, just as all were about to leave
a terrific crash was heard, startling every one
but the manager. Not bit like it,, he yelled
try it again. That WASH us, SIR replied a
roller up above, that was the real h'article
There o thunderstorm outside L don't care
a continental for that replied the unyielding
manager, that thunder may slit heaven, but 1t
won't do for my show. "

1t is probable that an effort will be made
this winter TO repeal the provision of the
/ interstate commerce law which prohibits
"pooling" by interstate railroads. 1t will
be urged upon congress that the only way
to prevent ruinous rate wars is to permit
"pooing,n and that the reason why such
immense railroad combinations are now
/ being formed is that they are made Also
( Iutely necessary by the provision of the in
terstate law which prohibits pooling"
/ II is probably true that the interstate law
/ is largely responsible for the great railway
| systems that are now being formed. One
of the purposes of these systems is to pre-
vent competition, and they accomplish
about the same thing that was secured by
the pooling" system.
1t may be asked why the railroads can
not get along without combinations ald
pools, They could, if the struggle for bust
ness were not So fierce. No railroad has an
absolute control of the territory tributary
to it, II comes into competition with other
roads at manv POINTS, aud the road whose
rates are the lowest gets the business. OF
course a cutting of rates begins at once, and
in d little while the rates are below the
proft-yielding point.
Healthy competition is a good thing for
the people, and does not do the railroads
any harm, but competition which encour-
ages rate cutting is ruinous to railroads and
harmful to business interests Of all kinds.
A legitimate business to be prosperous must
be conducted with some degree of certainty.
When rates are one thing to-day and an
other tomorrow this certainty cannot exist.
There is a movement to unite all the
gre railroads between Chicago on the
east, Denver on the west, Minneapolis on
the north and Little Rock on the south into
one great trust This trust will have the
control of rates, and will also direct
the kind of service which shall be
rendered by the roads in it, and also the
share of the traffic each shall have. 1t is
doubtful, however. If this trust will ever be
gotten into such a shape that 1t can be made
to do what is required Of it. II it could,
about all the competing roads Of the coun-
try would form trusts. A trust, such as Is
outlined, would be as much in violation of
the interstate commerce law as railroad
pool 1t would accomplish the same pur-
pose, though in a different way
The question which will be presented to
congress, if an effort is made to have the
pooling" clause repealed, will be an inter
esting one and one difficult to settle, and
those VINO are most DESTROYS of doing what
is best for the people, are the ones who will
be in the greatest doubt as to the course
which ought TO be pursued. The anti
pooling clause, however, having been
made part of the interstate commerce
law, only after very careful consideration,
will hardly be repealed vet awhile.

A Mischief Making Newspaper.

The venomous Chicago Tribune is now
more bitter in its attacks on the south than
before the election. 1t is harping on the
recent election in Mississippi, Louisiana
and South Carolina, and is charging the
democrats there with all manner of wicked
acts because those states did not give repub-
lican majorities. 1t rushes blindly TO the
conclusion that they are naturally repub-
lcan states because they contain moro col
ored than white inhabitants. The fallacy of
that argument has been shown often
The argument is moth-eaten aud wormy
and has been worn to a FRAGILE
1t won't stand investigation. Ii every
white and colored voter in Missis-
sippi, Louisiana and South Carolina had
voted in the last election, the democratic
ticket would have come out ahead, because
many colored people would have been per-
suaded very easily, without bribery or CO.
ercion Of any kind, to vote that ticket.
But of all the IribuneS remarkable exhi-
billions of its hatred of the south. the most
remarkable was made the other day when
it said, speaking of the failure of many col
ored people to vote: 1.-THE source of trouble
is that the southern blacks will not fight for
themselves. and any coercive power to en-
force their rights must be used from the
outside White men or Indians situated as
the southern negroes are would make the
rivers of the south run red before they
would submit to the usurpations and wrongs
which the blacks passively endure"
This means that the Tribune would nave
the colored republicans of the south. led by
a few white. republicans, commit murder
ana arson.
There does not appear to be any reason
why this bloody-shirt ranting of the Tri-
bune should be viewed with alarm. The
southern republicans are not going to rush
bodily into the penitentaries to please a
yenomous Chicago journal.
The Tribune is of that class of republican
organs which are eternally looking for an
excuse to cry fraud and intimidation in the
south, but which resolutely close their eyes
to these things in the north. Why doesn't
it cut few capers over the shameful cleo
ton abuses practiced lately by the repub-
licans i'll New York and Indianas The
answer is obvious-the wholesale bribery
and bulldozing in those states gained the
election OF a republican resident. A news
paper which deliberately invents falsehoods
concerning the south, aud seeks to incite
riot and ruin in it. while refusing TO see and
condemn crimes against the ballot under its
very nose, does not deserve and will not
receive from respectable people anything
but contempt.

Mrs. Burnetts First Step in Literature
From the Netc York Sun.

Not so many years ago a pretty little lady
went into the office of one of the border jour
mails. BY that is not meant a paper published
in the wild west, but weekly sheet devoted to
story matter. aud with each page printed with a
border. This woman carried in the manuscript
of story to the editor, talked with him little
about it, and went away. week afterward
she called again and was delighted to he told
that her Offering had been accepted. She re
ceived $500 for the work. This week lady
tourist was in town. She had been for a con
siderable time in Europe. She was accom-
panied by French maid, an English private
secretary and her two sons. The party bore
various pleasant evidences of prosperity. They
stayed several days at a costly hotel before go
ing thence to Washington. The lady in both
these incidents was Frances HodgSon Burnett
the authoreSs. She got out OF the border papers
into the magazines and books early in her career
as novelist, but she has just been attacked
with an Offer of eXtravagant pay and is going to
write story for the Ledger. She is one of the
winners of money prizes in literature and the

-OeinR the Line.

From Rdrper'S Maya zine.
The Christmas carols had been sung;
The guests had turned to GO:
Down from the chandelier there hung
A spray of mistletoe.
Beneath, along the polished floor,
A clear-marked line there ran;
No face was peering at the door;
| was alone with Nan.
Her hair in ripples ringed her brow,
An aureole divine;
Then courage camel know not how
dared her toe the line.
She smiled a roguish smile and feet;
She gave dainty trip
And, oh, the honey, Hybla-sweet,
tasted from her lip!

Contests from the South.

The republican plan of increasing a prob
ably small majority in the next House is
beginning to materialize 1t is announced
that, if the House should be republican, the
close districts would be locked after. This
means, of course, that in every district
where a democrat was elected by a small
majority, contest would be brought, and
in the end the democrats would be unseated.
The democrats who would have to make
way for republicans would be nearly all
from the south, and it has been stated
already in the republican prints that con-
tests would be brought in the following dis
tricts, in all of which democrats were
elected: The Second and Sixth of South
Carolina, the third of Kentucky, the Fifth
of Maryland, the First of North Carolina,
the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth and Ninth
! of Virginia, the Second, Third and Seventh
of Mississippi, and one in Alabama.
In Florida. Goodrich, republican, would
try to deprive Gen. Bullock of his seat, on
the grounds of intimidation and fraud. He
would not be able to prove his charges. but
that would make very little difference with
republican House, if Gen. Bullock's seat
were needed. In Georgia, it is rumored
that Fleming, colored republican candi-
date from the Eighth district, would con-
test the seat of Capt. Henry Il. Carlton,
on the ground that in four of the counties
the republicans, though in the majority,
did not vote, on account of other duties
This would be remarkable contest. Con-
gress could not count votes that were not
cast, and if by any pretext the votes of the
four counties should be thrown out, Captain
Carlton would still have a majority of
5000 to 1000
Those named would make sixteen contests
from the south, and probably number of
others would be brought, as republicans
would be encouraged to bring them on the
| fiimsiest of pretexts. 1t looks as If great
| deal of the time of the House would be taken
up with them.
OF course the southern democrats would
have to grin and bear this sort of thing
They would be powerless to prevent the
rascality. Probably, however, they would
| make up their minds that in future elections
they would make greater efforts to bring
| out the democratic voters
