CARPETBAGGLNG EXTRAORDINARY.

The Newly ork delegation has selected Daniel
Dougherty to present the name of Mr. Cleve-
! land in the st. Louis Convention. Isn't the
choice rather rough on the silver-tongued
Fellows, on the silvcr-tongued BourSe Cochran
on the silver-tongued George Raines. on the
silver-tongued Daniel Lockwood, on the silver
| tongued D. Cady Herrick? Why should all
these silver tongues be compelled to be silent
while silver-tongued Dougherty is awarded the
post of Evolutionary and rhetorical honor?
They are all New Yorkers from way back
while Dougherty, well, Daniel is carpet
| Dagger Just in from Philadelphia.
We have no desire to hurt Mr.. Dougherty's
feelings. We realize that he will make a
presentation speech to-day in which MIR. Cleye-
land will figure as the consummate flower OF
the political beattudes, the Republics noblest
offspring pillar of reform, a watchdog OF
| fidelity a lighthouse, fortress, Moses,
Joshua. In fact, carried away by his feelings
and the excitement Of the hour, Mr.. Dougherty
may even go to the length of naming Mr.
Cleveland a statesman. But in any event the
speech will be well worth listening to. The
phrases will be graceful and musical and the
gestures will add emphasis to the words. Never
theless, we warn Mr.. Dougherty that he need
4
not be disappointed if the Democratic organs
! throughout the State fall foul of his presenta-
ton and tear it to pieces. For q Democratic
organ never could stand a carpet-bagger
During tho last quarter of century more
vials of Democratic wrath have been poured
upon the heads of carpet-baggers than upon the
heads of all other persons. Yet the spectacle
| is presented Of the Democracy of Newly ork
awarding the chief place at their disposal in
the greatest of the party's conventions to
| carpet-bagger so new to the metropolis that
| the chances are that he could not find his way
from the Battery to Central Park without a
| guide.
However, the Democracy has surrendered its
original position upon all the great issues that
have come before the country since Buchanan's
Administration went out 1t is perhaps, not to
be wondered at, therefore, that it backs water
on its treatment Of the carpet-bagger. 1t de-
cides not only that the carpet-bagCcr must
come, but that he must have the front seat

A COLOR BOYCOTT.
floor.

The Synod Of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church, in session at Pittsburg, found itself
| called to pass upon an insult offered to one of
its members, colored preacher. The latter,
entering a restaurant, was refused meal
unless he ate it in the kitchen The poor man
meekly assented to the humiliation, but the
Synod, feeling itself wronged by the action of
the observation-disclosures, resolved, not in so many
words to apply the boycott, but to "give the
restaurant wide BERTH" which amounted to
the same thing. The kind of treatment of
colored people of which this is an example
may sometimes be instigated by real personal
prejudice on the part of hotel and restaurant
keepers and transportation agents but il is a
safe assumption that in majority of cases it
is due to belief that the white patrons Of
the house, or road, or line of cOnyeyapces
would take offence at the admission of the
negro to equal privileges with them. Probably
the instances are few in which coored people
would be excluded if those who exclude them
had no reason to fear loss of custom from
their white patrons. The conclusions to be
drawn from this state of facts may not be
particularly encouraging, but is best to realize
the truth, whatever its significance.
That the color prejudice is not, as some
maintain, innate or natural, is conclusively
proved by the absence Of it elsewhere. Oriental
peoples have no feeling of the kind, and so far
as can be gathered from history, never have
had. On the continent of Europe it is true
that negroes are infreluent, but when taken
there they provoke no sentiment of dislike
1t would almost seem that Goods image cut
in ebony" was only singled out for social con-
tumey in the countries which have wronged
the victim race most deeply Mahometanism
admits the negro to full equality. Chris
tianity is the professed creed of those who
even violate their own laws rather than admit
his right to equal treatment. Yet it might be
thought that the question was ono capable of
being influenced TO some extent by the
churches, if they were to take it in hand. The
rapid growth of Islam in Africa is attracting
general attention at present, and it is conceded
by those who know the facts best that the
entire absence of color prejudice and racial
arrogance has great deal to do with the
spread of Moslem doctrine on the Congo and
throughout the Dark Continent. The question
has broad and important ramiti
cations, and it is evident that the comparisons
which are unavoidable in any candid inquest
of the situation are suggestive of some infer
ences not fattering to that phase Of civilization
