From the Cleveland Psindealer.l

The Graphic Publishing Company
issues two democratic newspapers-tl 10
Daily Graphic and the Weekly Graphic
They are recognized throughout tie
United States as most loyal and consist
ent supporters OF the democratic party.
Both papers are staunch supporters OF
the national and state administration
The Daily and Weekly Graphic circu-
iates in every state and territory of tie
union. The Daily Graphic is published
at SO per annum, and the weekly is
published at $2 so per annum. In
view of the urgent need for campaign
funds the publishers OF the Graphic
have decided TO maze the following
offer to the democratic voters of the
United States: To every subscriber of
the Weekly Graphic between now and
November 6 the paper will not only be
mailed for one year, but one half the
subscription price (Sl 25) will be
Immediately sent to the national demo.
cratic committee, and acknowledged
by it.
The Weekly Graphic is not only one
of the best family newspapers in the
country, but is handsomely illustrated,
employing an able staff of artists,
among whom is Mr.. Thomas Mast, the
famous cartoonist. 1t is unsurpassed
as literary journal. The regular sub
scription price of so so per annum is
lower than that of any weekly publi-
cation having its merits; 80 low, in
ia It, that it enjoys an immense circula-
ton among people of moderate means
who find in the Graphic the same
features that are given in the expensive
magazines, beside all those features
which go to make up live newspaper.
Ii is expected that the Weekly Graphic
will secure at least 100000 new sub
scribers within the next thirty days,
and if that result is reached the demo-
cratic fund will be benefited to the
amount of S125,OO0. This is certainly
plan that will receive the endorse
ment ofevery democrat. Subscriptions
should be sent TO the American
Graphic Company, SO and Al Park
Place, New York.

"OOLORED" EDUCATION IN TEXAS.

The Dallas News of a recent date
says the democrats of Texas have in
ten years contributed $4,O00,0O0 and
more to support free schools exclusive
ly for colored children, and have eX-
pended $40 900 for colored normal
schools, exclusive of the Prairie View
colored normal upon which some
$l75 900 has been expended. In addi-
ton to this, the democrats have ex-
pended $4,000 on the asylum for the
deaf and dumb and blind of the colOred
race, beside $4,000 per aunum TO
maintain end care for colored lunatics
III the state lunatlc asylum. When the
republicans held the state offices the
teachers and employees in charge of the
blind and deaf and dumb children,
before assuming duties in the asylums,
were required to take the test oath.
If the teacher could not swear that he
had never sympathized with the people
OF the south in the late war he was nor
admitted. Now the democratic COVER
nor, elected by about $50, GOO majority
of white votes, has appointed colored
man and republican to the Office OF
superintendent of the asylum for deaf
and dumb and blind colored children.
The contrast in tolerance and magma.
nimity between white democratic rule
and white republican rule is commend
ed to the colored followers of the
mongrel white leaders in Texas, and
especially to the bowling dervishes OF
the United States senate Texas em-
ploys nearly 5000 colored teachers,
nine out of ten OF them being republic
cans. They are never asked what party
they support. They are educated for
the profession at a state teachers col
lege, and their tuition, board and all
incidental expenses are paid by toe
democratic state government. This is
a duty which is cheerfully performed.
There has never been in democratic
legislatures any opposition whatever
to liberal provisions tor the colorcd
educational and charitable state insu-
tutions. These institutions are voluA-
tarily established and supported by
democrats. The party is in the ascend
ant by overwhelming majorities and
does not have to make these liberal
provisions through any consideration
of party needs or party policy. Tho
party has no thought of presently rc-
claiming the colored people from re-
publican control. The sole object has
been to enlighten the race and fit the
colored people tor the duties and res
possibilities of their position.

THE ONE THING NEEDFUL.

I From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser
Three weeks from to-day the election
will be held. The result of the ballot
ing will decide the most momentous
question that has confronted the
American people since Lees surrender
settled the question of secession.
We shall decide on the 9th of Novem-
ber whether this country is to be dem
ocratic or aristocratic; whether the
law of the land is to be used TOR the
equal benefit of all the people, without
distinction between the rich and the
poor, or whether legislation is to be
directed in the interest OF rich, privi-
legged class; whether taxes are to be
levied to meet the revenue needs OF the
nation or to transfer q part OF every
mans earnings TO the pockets of few
monopolists; whether one man is TO
have the privilege OF enriching himself
by levying tribute upon another, or
whether all men are to be left free to
make the best use they can OF their
powers and opportunities in life. La
brief, the question to be decided in
November is the question of the perpe-
| tuity OF the American idea. Shall we
keep the democratic liberty bequeathed
US by our forefathers, or shall we sur
render it to the monopolistic masters of
trust combined establishments, who,
by limiting production, crushing out
competition, putting up prices, putting
down wages, importing contract labor,
/ and laying an embargo upon commerce,
make nabobs of themselves and riot III
luxury upon the fruits of other men's
labors. Shall we remain free citizens
of republic founded upon the broad
doctrine of manhood, laid down in the
Declaration of Independence, or shall
we cripple our manhood by invoking
state aid for the few at the expense or
the many and Introducing the practice
of nagging paternalism into our
system? Shall we be free men or the
bond slaves of socialistic state?
Never before were the American + CO.
pie called upon to decide a question of
so great Importance to themselves and
to humanity. 1t is question wholly
unentangled with considerations OF a
personal or merely administrative sort.
No sane man i'll the whole country
questions the integrity or the wisdom
of Mr.. Cleveland's administration.
The condition of business i'll the coun-
try would give the lie to every such
denial if such were made. No man
will vote against Mr.. Cleveland :
reelection upon conviction that his
administration has not been thoroughly
good and eminently promotive OF the
public veal. The issue is between
, democratic liberty and the equal rights
,, of men, on the one hand, and class
,, privilege, supported by socialistic legis-
+ lation, on the other.

The Difference.

When she heard her sisters promise,
In all meekness, to obey
Their respective lords anil masters
And accept their rigbLful sway,
Then she tossed her head so proudly,
Then she said. You wait an | see,
No one in the male creation
Will ever make slave of mev
When she heard her friends consulting,
Asking for new spring hat,
Urging unbelieving husbands
That they needed this or that,
Then she said. 80, how ] scorn it"
Then her naughty spirit rose,
And she cried. "YOu see if ever
L go begging for my clOthesr
And YOU ought to soc her, really,
Now that she at last is wed,
Sitting Goals and lighting fires,
While her husband lies in bed.
Even to wear her last years bonnet
She to-day does not fuse,
To brush his coat she's ever ready
And they say she shines his shoes!

level. 1t is situated almost in a direct
line from Pahoehoe. Considerable land
has been broken up and cane is already
planted. There are two proposals for
mill, which is to be situated near the
sea, some three miles off. One plan is
to fume the cane down, though where
the water is to come from is a mystery
to the uninitiated, but the protector
maintains he knows where any quantity
of water can be obtained. The other
project is to run it down by wire rope.
The land is of such a character that no
ploughing can be done and the work has
all to be accomplished by hand. There
is no doubt that excellent cane will grow
in this part of Kona. Small patches
planted by the natives, simply for house
hold consumption, flourish splendldly.
How it will pay to raise cane for profit is
quite another thing and the kamaalnas
look on with a sort of st. Thomas spirit
appearing in their eyes. AS far as water
goes for the purposes of cultivation, even
if no supply can be tapped from the
hills, there are ample showers at the
elevation chosen by the projectors OF the
new venture Vegetation at this height
is very luxuriant and a period OF drought
is practically unknown. The crop can
therefore depend upon rain with far
more certainty than plantations situated
in other places, which have to depeud
upon the same source of supply. With
regard to the elevation, which is GER
tainly very high, far higher than is con-
sidered profitable to plant in Hamakua,
Kau or Hilo districts, it is cOntended
that the climate of Kona is more mild
than either.of those two districts, and
further that the crop has not to contend
with the rigor of the trade Wind.
This attempt to again start cane Guilt
walton in Kona has created quite little
excitement among a very lotus-eating
population. Hawaiians will remember
that this is not the first effort in the dis
trict. Twenty years ago Judge Hart, OF
Multi, had plantation at Kealakekua,
which was abandoned after long strug
gle. OF course, a successful plantation
would be a boon to the district, for 1t
would give an outlet for some of the
little industries which are now anguish
ing or even untried for lack of market.
A sugar plantation means population,
and population means spending money.
