All in all-in swamp lands and by act
OF cOngreSs-the state has given to the
railroads within its borders over IL &c.,
600 acres of land.
In the face of all this,' comments
gen. Baker, ''still another railroad has
the audacity at this time to come for
ward and ask for 100000 acres more,
and that, too. at a time when railroads
are being built. not by land grants. but
through private capital"
;, The opponents of the Duluth & Win
1peg grant land in the house they are
particularly strong, take the ground
that so far as the legislature is con-
cerned the limit of forfeiture must be
recognized, and that the excuse OF the
company that the time limit was
not observed owing to lack
of capital is not valid, since
that should have been anticipated
before the grant was asked for, The
lands are now within the grasp of the
state, can be legally secured and work
no hardship to any interests but those
of'private spectators. That the road
will be ultimately built (as soon as need
for it exists by private capital they do
not doubt, and since that is the case
they consider the needs of the state
paramount to those of any corporation.
The school fund has by no means
reached a permanent basis, although it
contains over 5000, 900 now. To add to
it now s4,500,OOO worth of land justly
forfeited to the state seems to them like
making wise provision for the needs of
future generations. Furthermore
there is pressing necessity of
creating a large and permanent
state institution fund. To do. it
with 81, 10000 in land which although
slowly, is certainly increasing in value,
appears to be an act of the higest states
manship. The duty of the legislature
is first to the state and then to corpora
tlons and no one has yet beer able to
divest the Duluth & Winnipeg propo-
sition OF the nature of a corporate
scheme upheld by private interests.
The state has in the past granted to
railroads connected with the develop
ment of Duluth 100000 acres of land
or one-third of its total swamp land
grants, very fair proposition on the
whole.
The temper of the present house, is
more than that of any preceding one.

That is the state has already con-
veyed to the railroads over 1,50O, 900
acres of swamp land. and there is still
due them 1885, acres. Of all the
number of acres claimed as due, over
&c per cent belong to railroads, and a
meager 33 per cent is allotted to the in
situations. This, on the very face of
the returns, bears startling evidence to
the prodigality with which the state,
from March 8, 1861, to March 8, 1881,
(he date of the last grant, gave away
its land to corporations. Jan. 4, 1882,
the constitutional amendment went into
effect which reverts all unearned or
forfeited swamp land grants to the
school fund, and the state institutions.
But other land grants have been made
by the state than these noted, although
coming through congressional endow-
ment. The following table reveals
this:

state to railroad companies between

NIB. DOUGLASS IN THE SOUTH.

Hon. Frederick Douglass seems to
have stirred up a hornets nest among
the quill drivers, for they are going
for the cold Man" without gloves.
In recent speech at jacksonville,
Florida, Mr.. Douglass said some
things that did not take among the
colored brethren. He seems to be
encouraging the Presidents South
ern policy. He says "There is no
race problem" Advises the Negroes
not to clamor for equality with white
men, that they should divide in poll
tics; not to stand on the street cor
ners and block up the sidewalks so
white people can not pass; and that
We should not support colored papers
simply because they are published
by colored men. 1t is said
that the speech was productive
Of more harm than good. If these
reports be true, we would advise Mr..
Douglass to return to Cedar Hill and
remain there:

all this and get the eolored man on

interests of colored people. Ii seema
evident the only peacsable way out or

the white Democrats on some great

For some ten years or more they
have been hiding behind some cx-
cuse, but now what are they going
to do' The question is one OF
individual and national importance
it is to the individual-"Sink or
SWIM" and from the present out
look it will remain 50. Nothing
ever enters their minds other than
pleasure, at the expense Of charac-
ter and everything that commands
respect for the individual and the
race to which he belongs. If they
do not go to the extreme in one
thing it is in another. Consistency
and inconsistency are the same
with them. Men Of genius, station
and rank are inferior to the dandy
and the fop, with them. and so they
rush through life, aimless and often
helpless. The time has come Tor
concerted action. Our young men
must either stand by their colors
or yield the field. Parties and
party interests have been tried;
and so far as they arc concerned
have proven a success, while TO the
masses they have proven dismal
failure. What then remains? Ac

EDITOR AMERICAN CITIZEN,
Dear Sir:-As friend to the AMER

your paper, and that is you use the
word Negro too mach. The white
papers are dropping the word why
can't we? Our race can live without
the use of that word. You can say
colored as easy as you can Negro
You can use the big G. as e-sily al
the big N. From a friend.

and is therefore the only proper wore
to use. History gives no account 0

The CITIZEN is edited and pub

at least, az fair exponent of what a

NEWS SUMMARY.

The SOUTHERN RACE o. EsTION.-
Charleston, S. c., April 25'-BlshOp
John P. Newman, of Omaha, has
written an opan letter on the south
cru racO question which is attracting
widespread attention here. The let
ter is ad lressel to the editor of the
News aud Courier" Referring to
his speech at.the Virginia conference,
he says;
you have the race question to set-
tie as to the whites aud blacks; we
have the race question to settle as to
the American b)ru aad the foreign
born. With you it is question with
your own people, with us it Is the
north against all Europe. You have
the easier task. The south has not
yet been overrun by foreigners indif-
ferent to our ms ttutioHs. This is
what meant by the 'purest Ameri-
can blood was to be found in the
south Aud thai because of this, it
might be that the south would have
to march forth in defense of our
dearest institutions. have been say
ing this in the north for the past
twenty years on many public occa-
sions. LII all my tour in the south
spoke words of peace AMI unity aud
since my return to the north [ have
spoken like words to President Har-
rison aud to our statesmen. 1t was

Georgia, in Virginia, loyal to the
union of their fathers. | suggested
| 10 the administrator to put men in
Office in the south Of high repuIe,
who will promote southern prosperi-
ty, intelligence aud religion"
Force is added to this statement by
rumor which reaches here from
Washington to the effect that Presi'
dent Harrison will deal with the
South Carolina offices the first week
in May.
The Southern project of reorgan-
izing the Republican party on the
theory OF excluding the Negroes
might work in that section. but
it would certainly not be q safe
proceeding in the North, since the
number of colored voters in the I'm
portant states of New York and Indi
ana exceeds the pluraIities which
those States gave tor Harrison las
