SUMNER RESORTS DOWN
THE RIVER.

There have been a number of
resorts finely fitted up on both
banks of the river. Most of them
have been at some time rentabIe
to colored people. This privilege,
if privilege it may be called, has
been greatly abused. Do much
so that the landed proprietors
have for the most part put a quiet
US upon colored excursions. A
man who owns a public resort
has right to see to it that It's
reputation is not injured nor Its
general popularity abused. Lii
cense do not amount to much.
Hence just discrimination is
what a reasonable man should
make. Order then, is the test.
The persons who behave badly
should be debarred of these places
of enjoyment. It is no difficult
matter to tell who will be orderly
aud who will be disorGerly.
There are certain sections of the
city and certain assemblies who
never fail to bring with them a
fighting crowd. If these crowds
do not fight it is exceptional.
They are born fighters.

WHAT A CHANGE FOUR
YEARS MAKE.

If a green school boy can enter
college at seventeen and come out
full fiedged eollegian at twenty
one, it is no wonder that four
years in the white house work
wonderful changes. A man is
not to be condemned because he
makes mistakes and profits by
them. Nor is it a disgrace to
change ones opinion. President
Cleveland in 1884 said:
OF the means to this end (the
full realization of government
by the people) not one would, in
my judgement, be more effective
than an amendment to the con-
stitution disqualifying the Presi-
dent from re. e.eiection.

Icould not but be profoundly
impressed when I see about me
the managers Of the National
Democracy barring lis summons

When we n>ider the patron
age of this great office, the allure
mems of power, the temptations
to retain public place once gained,
and, more than all, the available
ity party finds in an incumbant
whom a hord of Office holders
with greed born of benefit re-
ceived and tostered by the hope
of favors yet to come, stand ready
to aid with money and trained
political service, we recognize in
the eligibility of the President
for re>electien a most serious dam
ger to that calm, deliberate and
intelligent political action which
must characterize a gove rnment
by the people.
1888 with "ghoulish glee."
The message which you bring
awakens within me the liveliest
sense of personal gratitude and
satisfaction. The occasion re-
minds me most wildly of the
scene when, four years ago, I re-
ceived message from my party
similar to that which you now de-
liver. I shall not dwell upon the
acts and policy OF the Admins
tration now drawing to a close.
1t but remains for me to say to
you, and through you to the
Democracy of the Nation, that [
accept the nomination with which
they have honored me.
If this change indicates progress
siveness, so much, so good. But
if the allurements of Office beguil-
ed, woe to that seduction. .

POLITICAL TRAMPS.

The tramp is a modern institu-
ton. Modern in name and in
cheeky shrewdness. He however
is nothing more than develop
ment from the lazy shiftless man
who has always had a place in
every community. The fellow
that hangs on the street corner
and around barrooms, that sleeps
wherever night catches him is no
new individual. But even the
modern tramp is more worthy of
consideration than the political
tiamp. He feeds On other mems
pockets. He never is at work,
does nothing but invents means
whereby to extort aid defraud.
He is a human louse, a blood
sucker a parasite. The political
tramp as a general thing is an ex-
office holder. He would hold Of
fee if he could. He has accus-
toned himself to the weird excite
ment of the first aud fifteenth of
each month when he hears the in-
spring rustic of paper dollars and
the jingle of gold. He longs for
the happy return of those days.
Still hoping till his appetite
pinches, and his shoes run down
at the heel, and his friends desert
him he is driven almost to des-
peration. If there is a sad sight
to be seen in Washington, if there
is one that can move the stern

UNNATURAL SONS.

Of the few persons attending
Indianapolis there was no sadder
picture than to see so many young
men present. Young men,
scarcely at majority who have had
the advantage of schools and col>
leges, who for the main part are
the fruits Of republican planting,
rallied to hold up the arms of
traitorous republicans. If there is
a class of persons who should be
infexible republicans, if there is
class who should hate demo-
cracy in every form, it is the in-
telligent young colored man.
There are some young men who
are not intelligent, nor do they
lay any claim to that status, being
unacquainted with the history of
modern times and being reared in
an lnfavorsble atmosphere little is
expected of them. But the bright
young man who can speak fluent

feels at home in literature, science

BLACK REPUBLICANISM
VS.. BLACK DEMOCRACY.

Irishmen are democrats, ne
groes are republicans. Both just
Iy so as they are. But to find an
Irishman republican is not such
an atrocious thing as to find "a
negro democrat. 1t is no new
thing to find men allied to a par
ty which has fought for their in
terests. Irishmen's interests both
ecclesiastical and political has
been in a measure championed
by the democrats. Whatever
there was of right in it, the
times decided. But Irishmen
have never had such battles to
fight as negroes. Their causes
were fearfuIly disproportionate.
The irishmen in this country
has always been a man. The ne
gro has not. Democracy never
made men out of irishmen. Be-
sides irish leaders have simply
reasoned negatively. Because a
republican president failed to per-
NIT certain irishmen into this coun-
try and the democrats have large
ly encouraged their religion, being
catholics themselves, the conclus
ion has been reached that repub-
licanism is opposed to irishmen's
rights 1t is a very egregious
mistake. On the other hand
republicanism means humanity.
1t has been the sole author of
every principle leading to equality
1t has not achieved lis mission be.
cause it has not been able to throt-
tie the vile schemes of Southern
politicians. All legal means have
been used. Force has been re-
sorted to, but without effect. The
ends can be obtained now only by
moral forces. The end OF the rope
has been reached in political power
Strange, it must be said that
irisbmen have never been malign-
ed nor vilified because they are
sealed to democracy. No wore
of abuse has come from his fellow
countrymen. But the negro has
escaped no calumny because he
has dared to vote for his ally
Irishmen can go on voting for &
million years for democracy and
| no word will be said. But the
time has come now that some ne
groes see fit to prove traitorous tt
their principles and treacherous
to their party.
1t there is a valuable suggestion
that would take few negroes Oh
the other side it seems plain tha
no special few could be taken
hence all should naturally 60 be.

FOR TIE EYE THE POL.
ITICIAN.

This is the maiden year for a
number of politicians. Many who
have never voted will step 10 the
front iu November. The various
influences operating upon their
minds will be these: First, friend
ly solicitation. Second, pa.ernal
influences. Third, newspaper
circulations. Fourth, the rarest
influence and intelligence. All
these may combine in producing
a clear headed voter. The pri>
mary step is cool deliberations
upon the history, platforms and
candidates Of the various parties.
After cancellng all other parties
serve the two principle ones, for
these two contain all national
elements, one is then In a position
to weigh carefully these two par
ties. Both have made mistakes.
Both contain something of virtue.
Both have good and bad leaders
debating impatriotic measures.
In order then to get at the politi-
cal worth of a party and it's in
trinsic value to the country, his
tory with It's manifold events
must be examined. The animus
of the various periods together
with their surroundings and Cir
cumstances. The republican par
ty was born twenty-five years ago.
Here is what it has done:
l. 1t has abolished slavery.
2. 1t denounced the Dred Scott
decision.
B. 1t sustained freedom.
4. 1t sayed the country by PRE-
serving Its unity.
5. 1t made the greenback and
made it the equivalent for gold
and silver.
6. 1t oppressed ignorance and
is in favor OF national education.
z. 1t fought against baliot-bo1
stufing and fraudulent elections
8. 1t fought against the compe
tition of foreign pauper labor with
free American labor.
9. 1t believes in civil rights.
10 1t established the formos
currency in the world.
IL. 1t made thousands of laws
The Democratic party is fifty
years old.
1. The party has dealt in hu.
human ehattels.
2 1t refused 10 yield to the de
mands of the constitution.
3. 1t has laid at its door tht
Kansas and Nebraska feuds.
4. 1t made the fugitive slav,
5. 1t opposed emancipation.
6. 1t opposed national currency
z. 1t invented tissue ballot
kukluxism and predominancy
over right.
8. 1t allied to English polite
by clinging to dogmatic free
trade
9. 1t opposed the thirteenth
fourteenth ard Fifteenth amend
ments.

THREE PROPOSITIONS.

The first is, THAT PROTECTION
CREATES HOME MARKETS. Ii a
thing is needed and becomes essen
tial to good living it must be pro-
cured. If the thing is made abroad
and is severely taxed, the next best
thing to do is to make it here and
sell it here. The making of it calls
into activity capital and labor.
These are twin born and inseper.
able. To produce the maximum
benefit the proportion of gain
should be rightfully distributed.
If this gain is not thus divided it is
no fault of protection. 1t is a NOR
al issue.
To make a thing implies the
manufacture of it the dealing with
it in it's simplest form the COM
bining of it and uniting it with
other elements to give a market
able and a readiness for it's ultimate
use. Capital means money to run
a business, and labor means the
energy put forth in the construc-
tion, management and conduct of
business. When the term labor
is used it reaches every honest
mans door. Shy the sweat Of thy
brow thou shalt live," for it is by
physical effort that the black man
lives, is all injunction as true as
ancient. Now then, where there
is an abundant home-market, where
there is capital and labor, the like
lyhood is that all concerned will
get abundant labor and fruitful
compensation. Experience attests
| this fact.
The second is, that protection in
stigates enterprise. Enterprise
does not mean anything more than
man seizes every chance to make
a dollar. That policy which de-
velops so many resources for max
ing money is good policy. all men
want to maze money. A man who
honestly heaps up million by
opening up a great thoroughfare
and doubles the capacity OF society
for convenience and enjoyment, is
public benefactor. We want en-
terprise. If we see profit in many
things let us get it out, no matter
| if the government does get half of
| it. She has protected us in our un-
dertakings and given us a guaranty
against loss, let the government
then have her share.
| The third proposition is, that
PROTECTION CHEAPENs THE COST
OF PRODUCTION. When every
thing we need is right at our door
and it only needs the magic wand
of skill to give it form and being,
why it can be produced much
cheaper than If it were mined in
Prussia, or clipped in Australia,
or planted in Egypt. Transports
tion or the carting of one thing
from place to place is the sole
source of wealth to mariners. That
wealth can be saved us if we have
protection. In America when it
comes to workers it means that the
cOlored mans interest are at stake.
He must labor or die. He has not
education enough to steal. Nor
need of going to Canada. The pick
and shovel, the spade and hoe, the
plough and scythe, are the instru-
ments which bring his food, cloth
ing and raiment. Let him under,
stand protection and he will be a
thorough Republican.
