SENATOR WADE WANIPToN complains
that his project for the removal of the
negro from the South is misunderstood;
that he does not contemplate force in it,
but wonld have the Government lend
aid to establish the race somewhere by
itself that it may develop in peace.
The spirit of his enterprise is that of
the ancient humbug once known as the
American Colonization Society

THE gross earnings of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad for September are
only slightly exceeded by those of Au-
gust, and the earnings of the road for
the year will be close to S21, 100000, al
most 100000 more than the earnings
of last year. These are good indica-
tions that an era of prosperity for the
Baltimore and Ohio has opened.

THE report that certain naval officers
have objected to taking Mr.. Frederick
Douglass, the United States Minister to
Hayti, to his post in their vessels, be-
cause he is a colored man, is a good deal
more severe on the naval officers than
on Mr.. Douglass. If true, it should
cause same vacancies in the navy and
some promotions among the officers low
er in rank, than the high-toned negro
haters.

A wELE-MERITED REBUKE.

Cleveland Leader
The Prohibition Voice recently made
an assault on the New York Christian
AdcOcGte for its neglect to boom the Pro-
hibition party, which gave the Voice
chance to intimate that the "grand old
Methodist Church" is drifting from its
moorings on the temperance question"
To this attack the Christian Advocate
replied in the following vigorous man
ner:-
The grand old Methodist Church is
not drifting from its moorings on the
temperance question; it is so soildly
fixed there that the Voice cannot trans
form it by its threatenings, its winnings,
or its misrepresentation into political
party. And the Christian Advocate will
go on declaring the fixed principles of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, and
urging its members to act in harmony
with these principles according to their
godly judgment, and not according to
the behest of any bishop, minister or
layman, or of any partisan paper or Or
ganization, Republican, Democratic, or
Prohibition.
This is timely and merited rebuke
to the efforts of the Voice -"Ishmael's
Voice." as the Christian Adcocate calls
ito drag the church organizations
into politics, which would destroy them.
The policy of the Voice, carried to its f.
logical conclusion, would give US Re-
publican churches, Prohibition churches,
and Democratic churches, though not
many of the latter, perhaps, and bring
religion into contempt.
Neither the Methodist church nor any
other evangelical organization can be
whipped into the ranks of any political
party. The great bulk of the member
ship of these churches understand very
well that the third party Prohibition
movement simply strengthens the liquor
traffic by dividing the friends of temper
anee.
DR.. Buckley, the editor of the Christian
is entitled to vote of thanks
for his firm and patriotic opposition to
the Prohibition scheme to prostitute the
church organizations for political ends.

CONGRESSMAN ANDERSON, of Kansas,
wants the Civil Service law reformed
because it gives one class of citizens an
opportunity to hold Office for life to the
exclusion of another class, although the
extreme tenure of the highest office in

eight years.

THE BALLOT REFORM.
New York Press.

New York Press.
In Ohio the Republican party is
strongly battling for ballot reform, while
the Democratic party, led by the gang
which committed the Infamous frauds
in Hamilton county not long ago, is ar
rayed against all measures looking to
an honest vote, and stands ready even
to repeal the safeguard which the Re-
publican party has cast around the bal
lot-bCx in some of the larger cities of
the State.

THE GANG PLAN.

New York Press.
The old Standard Oil gang in Ohio
plan to give Senator Payne reelection,
which he will straightway decline, so
that all concerned will have a "vindica-
tion" from the very ugly charges of
bribery when the Senator got his seat.
This would be wonderfully round about
way of pleading mot guilty"

LEMON PARTIES.

Lemon parties, which were somewhat
in vogue last winter in Washington So
ciety, have reached other places. Ev-
cry guest, as is required, brings lemon.
These are subsequently taken to the
kitchen, and all the seeds carefully taken
out and collected in small glass jar.
At signal from the hostess the jar is
brought in and passed in review before
each guest, who make a mental esti-
mate of the number of seeds it contains,
and records his opinion upon small
yellow tablet already furnished him, en-
dorsing his count with his signature
The tablets are afterward collected and
the result announced. The winner, who
is the one, of course, whose guess comes
the nearest the number of seeds, receives
pretty lemonade set, and the "booby''
a lemon squeezer. Lemon cake, lemon
jelly, and lemonade, constitute the re.
freshments.

A FRISKY OLD GENTLEMAN YET.
Cleveland Leader.
Our fellow citizen, Henry B. Payne,
author of the celebrated speech about
the hickory broom, with which he pro-
posed to clean out the Augean stables in
Washington, but failed to discover any
such stables. says that he is not a can
didate for reelection to the Senate. The
reason is that the SHOWS of eighty-two
winters will have passed over his head
when his term expires in '91, and he has
not the conceit to think that he will be
young enough to fill another term. But
he is a mighty frisky old gentleman yet.
One looking at him would think he was
hardly over seventy. He and his family
are worth somewhere from fifteen to
twenty millions. If the Democrats
should carry the Legislature he will
probably be succeeded in the Senate by
a New York City gentleman who is
worth some twenty millions, by the name
of Calvin Brice How he will succeed
can be guessed at. That is the reason
the Democratic leaders in Ohio are will
ing to sacrifice the Governorship in order
to gain control of the Legislature. There
is money to be made in the Legislature
at Senatorial election.

AN extraordinary story is being to

AN extraordinary story is being told
in Berlin about the miraculous escape
of woman and little boy at Brieg,
During the maneuvres there they got
in front of a regiment of soldiers which
was riding at full gallop. 1t was i'm
possible for the woman to escape and
for the soldiers to halt. The public
raised a shout of horror, thinking the
woman and child would be trampled to
death, and the foremost officer called to
her to lie down. This she did, placing
the boy underneath her. The whole
regiment rode over her, and, as the
horses were all made to leap over her,
she was, to the astonishment of every
body, unframed, though for some time
she was speechless with terror"

THE bass viol is the most expensive
of all musical instruments to its owner.
Its first cost is not the greatest expense.
1t is so large and awkward to carry
around that it is continually. getting in

happen to smaller instruments. Some
body may kick hole in it by dancing
against it in a room, or it may be knock

on street cars while the musician is car
rying it to the place where he is to play.
After man has had an instrument for
long time he come to look upon it as
actually worth all the money that it has
cost him, and in this way bass viol
sometimes is valued at 81 1000 or so by
its owner. A musician who sued rail-
road company for $1,000 for viol lost
in an accident actually got $500.

MUST BE PROTECTED.

PROTECTION MUST BE PROTECTED.
New York Press
Events are rapidly crystallizing to
show the need of as active, earnest, united
and persistent work on the part of the
friends of protective tariff, in the various
State elections this fall, as they put in
last year in the Presidential canvass
with signal success. The masses of peo-
pie have accepted the result of that con-
test in good faith as settling the tariff
policy of the government for twenty-five
years.
Not so the Democratic leaders.
The Press on Sunday disclosed the
plot by which several Democratic State
organizations are being manipulated in
favor of free trade. The Golden Club |
is sending over money and documents |
for the free trade propaganda. Leading
Democrats elected to Congress threaten
to fillibuster against the proposed change
in the rules of that body by which the
majority would be enabled to carry out
the policy on which it was elected. They
openly avow their purpose to keep Con-
gress in session for two or three years
rather than to permit tariff bill to be
passed.
They desire to keep the issue open.
The people considered it closed in
November last. They want it closed,
and the way is open at the fall elections
to give new evidence of their disapproval
of the free trade Democracy by electing
officials.
Protection as an issue between the
parties must go to the front again and
again until its antagonists have learned
that the American policy is supreme.
