AND now trouble with the colored
people of Mississippi is reported and
white troops are called for to shoot
them down regardless of the equities
or the humanities, if they do not
humbly and constantly submit to
whatever impositions and demands
his white neighbor may have made
on him. "Race trouble" is very
convenient general head under which
to class any objections or resistance
of colored men to the impositions or
injustices of the whites and only this
word trace" is needed to arm state
against these poor sons of toll and
blow them back again into whatever
condition of servitude and depend
ence the whites may deem necessary
to the situation. OF course the
trouble in Mississippi sis said" to
have been started by a negro.

The dual operation Of digestion and assim-

New York's Grant Monument.

New York's Grant Monument.
Mail and Express.
Nearly all Of the large amount
over $50, 0OO-raised for the Grant
monument-has been contributed by
New Workers. 1t is to be regretted
that the million that was at first re-
garded as the proper sum to be raised
is not all contributed, but if today, a
plan for a monument that was emil
nently worthy of the memory and
deeds of Grant, were presented by
some great architect or sculptor and
accepted, the money could be raised
within a year. We have perfect
faith that as soon as the Grant Monu-
ment committee get plans for a monu-
ment that will be accepted by expert
judges and by Mrs. Grant as worthy
of the memory of our great soldier,
and of the devotion of the people to
his fame, a movement for the funds
needed will be begun, and the mon
ument will be ready for dedication in
1892.

The Purest and Best. Deliv-
cred to any part of the city.

THE republicans of Ysleta in this
state have full control of the city gov
ernment. This is dstasteful to the
democrats who control the county,
and accordingly they have petitioned
the court to disincorporate the city,
hoping thereby to destroy the repub-
lican organization. AS the court is
democratic it is not improbable that
the petition will be granted.

Chicago Boarding House Burned
CHICAGO, September 2.-Fire was
discovered about one o'clock this
morning IN John Blanks saloon and
boarding house on Cottage Grove
avenue. Fifteen boarders were asleep
at the time in rooms on the second
floor, as were Blanks and his wife and
two-year old daughter, and Mrs.
Blanks mother, aged So. When the
firemen arrived, they found the
boarder shouting for help and
some of them about to drop
from the windows of their
rooms. Blanks, just as the firemen
arrived, grabbed his child, and not
knowing what he was doing, hurled
the little one through the window to
the crowd below. The child struck
on the sidewalk and was picked up
unconscious with broken bones and
terribly bruised. The police safe
ly rescued Mrs. Blanks mother.
Some boarders were already partially
overcome by the smoke and as the fire
was making swift progress, they had
to be dragged from. their beds. They
were all safely landed, however.

There will be quite large number
of applicants at the present term of
court for license to sell intoxicating
liquors, and it is certain that Of this
number many will be disappointed
This will especially be the case where
parties have been refused at previous
term OF court, as the Judges have de
eided that where, from any cause,
man or house has been refused
license, ii will not be granted at any
future term unless it is shown that the
court erred in the previous refusal.
This of course is difficult matter to
do, and therefore there is very little
chance to have these decisions recon.
sidered We have also incidentally
learned that the Law and Order Society
Is in possession Of considerable evi.
dence against certain parties who for
some time have been violating the law
in what they considered very qulc,
manner. There will be the usual
number OF remonstrances, some ot
which we understand are very explicit
and well signed. All such, there is ne
doubt, will lie carefully considered by
.he court, and consequently there will
be some disappointed applicants.

gotten that the Councilman who are
elected at this coming election will
have entire control of the affairs Of this
city after May, 1890, as then Council
will consist OF but twelve members.
Now If the Democrats should be per
mitted, as they have been in the past,
to carry eight of these wards, they
would have, with the President, nine
members out of thirteen. The Repub-
licans can, however, hold them in
check If the proper effort is made and
good men nominated. Two wards,
the Eighth and Ninth, can be carried
by the Republicans, and thus make
Council equally divided as far as the
members are concerned. We believe
that there is also a fighting chance in
the Third ward, but it is certain that
nothing will be accomplished unless
the Republicans will get 10 work, and

We are pleased to learn that Presi
dent Harrison has let 1t be known that
IN making appointments, especially in
the South, he will not appoint colored
men because they are ColOred, OF white
men merely because they are white.
This is pleasing indication of new
policy toward the South, q policy
which we sincerely hope may be pro
ductive OF the best results. In the
years that have passed the reverse has,
fn a great measure, seemed to be the
rule, and in some Of the Southern
States colored men have been APP
pointed to positions under the Federal
Government merely because they were
Colored, while under the last admins.
tration many white men were ap.
pointed for the only reason that they
were white. This course cannot but
create and maintain an luminosity be.

The Furniture of the peri.

adaptation to human needs
of the thugs upon which

Furniture, as a rule, Is
more honest than ever. In

moderately beautiful Furni-
ture. Some OF it now fills
honored places in hearts and
homes of this generation.
Love of it for actual associa-

popular gushing fancy for 1t

fashionable lad than an In
telligent admiration.

was excited in reference to the women

history OF this city that they have ever
enjoyed the elective franchise, but al
though there are several hundred who,
under the new law are entitled to
vote, there were but 20 that awaited
themselves of the privilege. This
shows that with all that has been said
In favor Of bestowing the elective
