assisted by Senator Browning, not.
withstanding the opposition of the
Republican delegate, forced through
the General Assembly of 1888 a law,

THE NORTHWEST

sW-The Jacksonville (Fla.) Times Union,
commenting on letter TO the Philadelphia
Record from w. L. Powell Secretary Of the
New Jersey central committee of colored Re-
publicans, complaining of the treatment ac-
corded by the Harrison administration to
negro voters, makes the following compari-
son between the policy Of the late admins
tration and the present policy:
President Cleveland appointed more COL
Ored men to Office than President Harrison
has done. or will do. OF course, President
Cleveland's choice was limited to a narrow
field, since he would appoint no colored man
who was not a Democrat. Republican prom
ises and Democratic performances can be
correctly estimated only on the basis of tie
colored Republican and the colored Demo-
cratic voters, respectively. Of the 1,200,0C0
colored voters in the United States, 1,198.000
are Republicans and IL, 600 Democrats. Now,
for every fifty colored men appointed by
Cleveland, Harrison, to show an equal re.
gard for the "man and brother" must ap-
point 5000 exactly. But notwithstanding
these restrictions Cleveland appointed even
more than Harrison has appointed and his
offices now are about all filed. Moreover,
this estimate by numbers alone, omits any
consideration of availability. Taking into
account the fact that nine-tenths of the
northern colored Republicans are educated, |
and rough calculation would show that |
when it come to substantial favors Cleveland |
had one thousand times more regard for the |
oolored man than the Republicans have. This |
is the testimony of colored men themselves, |
and the facts amply sustain the conclusion

sage welcomes the extradition proposal
and expresses surprise that the western
states do not revolt against the heavy
exactions of taxation imposed for the
benefit of the cotton and iron workers

he suggested that the protective princi-
pie should be applied to farm products.

Laws Which Burden the Farmer


If an eight-hour law is enacted its
maleficence, not its advantage, falls on
him. The milking-hour and the har-
vest will not be postponed in obedience
TO any Legislature. So far as it makes
the days labor brief, so certainly it ex-
tends his own labor from twelve hours
to fourteen.
Notice, too, how every tax system
now uppermost puts the heavy end of
its incidence on the farmer. In the
State, county and township allotment
of fiscal burdens the tax is direct. It
falls upon what can be seen and discov-
cred with greatest weight. But 1t
never fails to discover the farmer. His
broad acres cannot be hidden or sworn
away; while his neighber, rich in per-
sonal holdings, can cunningly suspend
his own tax by evasion---and sometimes
by an artful change or confusion of
residence-so as to add his tax, too, to
the tax of the berdden farmer,
But worse than all this is his relation
to the national tax system, which ex-
ploits away his hard earned profits,
small in percentage, almost invisible,
and then adds abuse to injury by sue
cessfully persuading him that it exists
for his supreme advantage. He paws
for u paper, as likely as not which tells
him, and has been telling him for a
generator or more, that the beneficent
system which prevents him from buy
ing 4,5OO articles as cheaply as he might,
and compells him to sell his own pro-
duets, minute in number, at the lowest
price which ingenious legal artifice can
dictate, is measure for his particular
benefit.-P0puldr Science Monthlv.

Congressional Work.

The Republican organs are mapping out a
tremendous program, which they threaten to
put through the coming Congress. One sug-
gestion is that Congress shall re-apportion
all the States in which it is the Republican
interest TO do so. The impudence of these
spois-grabbers goes to the extent of talking
about Democratic gerrymanders. The only
State in the north that is not carved up to dis
franchise Democrats and return the greatest
number of Republicans is Indiana. Take
the north over and it requires about three
tim es as many Democratic voters to elect a
Congressman as Republicans. In Ohio un-
der the existing apportionment, which the
coming legislature will wipe out of the way,
it takes only $4,000 Republicans to elect
Congressman and 6S,OOO Democrats. The
fact is the Republicans hold their majorities
in both houses of Congress by disfranchising
ger rymanders. 1t is q superlative degree of
cheek for them to complain of Democratic
gerrymanders at the south. They get all the
Congressman from the south the banded ig-
norance of their party in that section entities
them to.
As the Republicans of the House have only
1863 members, and quorum necessary to
transact business is 166, we fancy the Demo-
Gratis will have great deal to say what laws
shall and shall not be passed. Four absentees
on the Republican side will make the majori
ty party powerless. They have established
abundance of precedents which the Demo-
Gratis will not be slow to use if hard pressed.
A majority of only three over quorum all
experiences establishes is no majority at all.
Nor can this power of the minority be taken
away by any change of rules. The right to
demand q quorum present and voting is a
constitutional right.-Marion Mirror.

Very Risky Indeed.

To tamper with symptoms indicative of
growing kidney disorder; to neglec ct for brief
time needfuI stimulation of the renal organs
when their inactivity points, as it always and
Enthusiastically does, to their eventual perman-
ent disease, is certainly very risky indeed.
This is. however, risk that many persons
perceptibly drifting into Bright's disease,
diabetes, catarrh of the bladder. &c, constant
~ incur. To those who read. reflect and heed
the lessons of recorded experience, the advis-
ability of using Hostetters Stomach Bitters
as diuretic need scarcely more than a sug-
Restion. No fact is more generally admitted
by the medical profession and the public than
its efficacy for the prevention of serious renal
disease. The unmedicated eNcitants of COM
merce, no matter how pure, bear in mind, re-
act prejudiCially upon the kidneys when in
active. The Bitters subdues malaria, constr
patton and rheumatism. 9l26t
