Augusta Evans Wilson has at her
home in Mobile the largest Japonica

Its large, white blossoms are great
attraction to northern visitors.
The hooking birds in Orange, CAL,
feed on berries that grow in the Chin

makes them tipsy. They act very fool
ishly just after hearty meal and stag

j. r. Boggs Of Lexington, Ca, has
monstrosity in the shape Of three

In New Jersey, Mr.. Cleveland large,
ly increased his majority, while in
Chicago, which, under loose election
law, Blaine carried by 5000 plurality
in 1884, there was, this year, under a
strict and severe law, which rendered
any fraud impossible, majority for
Cleveland Of 1000 and for Palmer Of
5000. These results have shown very
clearly by whom the. repeating was
done in the past. The Republicans
have been crying "fraud" very loudly,
but this does not conceal the fact that
they have been the chief beneficiaries
Of loose or careless election laws.

The White Gaps.

1t was not so very many years age
that the Northern press was filed with
stories Of the Kuklux in the South
and the outrages perpetrated by them.
They drew heartrsnding pictures Of
these masked and disguished men rid
ing at night through the country, stop
ping at the negro cabins, calling the
inmates out and whipping them for
some pretended wrong. The whole
scene was wired and ghostly, as depict
cd by these journalistic masked men,
the dark night, illumined only BY
torches, the naked negroes screaming
and shrieking under the lashcs laid on
their bear backs. They worked up an
intense feeling against the Kuklux
with these descriptions, and got the
Federal government to interfere and
send a number Of these night-riders to
the penitentiary.
A new Kuklux organization has re-
Gently sprung into life with the same
organization, 0the same system, the
same punishments as the Kuklux Of
old. It SO happens, however, that this
new organization exist, in the North
only, in the Republican states Of In
diana and Ohio; and this, it seems,
makes it far different matter. 1t has
taken a more advanced position than
the Knklux ever did, for it does not
limit its whipping to men only, but in
cludes women and girls as we'll. 1t ter
rorizies whole communities, and Meth
er the press, the citizens nor the judi
ciary dare stand in its way or express
unfavorable opinions Of the White
Caps. They know we'll that if they
do so, they will receive warning to
leave the country warning which
they dare not disobcy.
The White Caps have already perpc-
trated far more outrages than the Ku-
kluz ever did. There have been more
whippings and similar assaults, more
people run out Of the communities
where these law breakers flourish, and
sevesal fatal affarys. 1t is astonish-
ing, however, to see what wonderful
difference change of latitude makes.
The Northern press has almost failed to
notice the existence Of the White
Caps. There have not been dozen
papers to express disapproval Of them
or their practices, not one to call upon
the Federal government to interfere
and send troops to the White Cap
counties to suppress them, when it is
quite evident that the local authorities
cannot or will not do so. Had an Or
ganization like this been started in the
South, and the victims been negro
men instead Of white women, what
howl would have gone up from the
New York Tribune and the whole pack
of Republican papers; and yet we
search in vain for ono expression Of
condemnation of these Ohio and In
diana Kuklux. Night riding and whip
ping are right enough in the West, if
the people like that kind Of fun; but
in the South, they are political out
RACES, requiring the armed interference
Of the Federal government.

A number Of republican papers ia
vor the adoption Of an educational
qualification for the elective franchise
in the south, and insist that it is the
best and safest way to deal with the
negro question---a troublesome one,
they admit, and for which it is difficult
to suggest remedy.

The south is rich in resources, and
capitalists are taking advantage Of the
opportunities which she offers. It is
safe to predict that there will DO more
northern capital invested in the south
within the next twelve months than in
any previous period Of the same
length.
Waco evening news. (Waco, Tex.) 1888-1889, 1888-12-14

The suggestion Of an educational
qualification for voting came first from
the Northern Republican press, and is
still mainly discussed in it. The South.
ern journals have, as yet, had little to
say on the subject; and it is only in
South Carolina that the idea has been
seriously discussed and practically pro-
posed.

pus, which succeeded in fastening on

giles, ehsined bin to one of the piles in

ever, had the good sense to remain
quiet, and the octopus, whose arms
measured quite nine feet, quitting Its
hold of the pile, was brought to the
