At this moment the North, which bs,

such a white man.

TIE New Haven Register calls atten-
ton 10 the prominence once more given
to the ever blessed Jury system. In the
Croun case It is said that no Irishman
VIII be accepted by the prosecution and
no Germans by the defence. No one
who has formed an opinion as to the case
in IT'S leading features is eligible. Few
persons who are able to read have not
heard Of the Cronin case, and Chicago
people have probably pretty generally
formed an opinion concerning it. Any
BODY who has not reached some definite
conclusion in his own mind by this time
may be safely set down as incapable of
forming an opinion. There are plenty of
fair-minded men who, having read the
newspapers, would be able to listen to
the testimony and render verdict on
the evidence, but they are not likely to
be chosen. If the Cronin jury is not a
jury of imbeciles, it is likely TO be one of
very unfortunate mental endowments.

OF any previous year. and there is more

The remark by Senator Hampton of South
Carolina to the effect that the South could well
afford to have the negroes emigrate to some other
part of the country is warmly approved in the
South. Thus the Charleston News and Courier
says: 1.-THE wise course, alike for the white
people and the colOred people of the South, is
for them to separate and move apart as soon rs
it Is practicable. The country is large enough
for the colored people to make their homes
in some part Of its unoccupied territory,
where they can acquire land and establish
themselves in communities of their own, I'M
der their own local government and where
they can develop all the powers they have and
exercise all the rights and privileges of Ameri-
can citizenship without challenge And the
Birmingham Age Herald remarks: ITO one who
looks beyond the present and its immediate
necessities there is nothing more evident than
that the good Of the country demands
the separation of the races. For fifty
years the negro has been a disturbing factor
in national politics. He viii continue to be
such as long as he occupies the same territory
with the white man. The two races will never
amalgamate-no one thinks it desirable that they
shOuld-and so long at they live together there
will be contention for political supremacy, and
a social parallel cannot be maintained without
repeated conflicts and disturbances
This is queer talk. As the negro is not respon-
sible for being in the South, it would seem to be
fair to let him live there if he wants to.-lNew
Haven Journal and Courier.
Are the white people of the South any
more responsible for the negro s pres
enoe here than the black people? The
responsibility began, as much as any
where else, IN Yankee greed, and
had the negro been able to propagate
himself as proatably in Connecticut as in

IF THE negro expected Office only from
Republican control of the government on
account of his color, his expectations
might De tolerated, for the reason that
he would not so much receive office on

lican party is managed on the practical

Fort Worth weekly gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-09-12

is that the negro expects some advantage
in law or administration of law on ac-
count Of his color. 1t is the old 'Ffortv-
