This law Of Delaware bears equally on
all men who do not pay their taxes. Why
is It not right that those who pay the
taxes should voter Where is there any
sense in complaining that man who is
too mean, too poor or too ignorant to at

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
niggIns AgainsI Higglns.

Dover Index.
1t is rather amusing to hear Mr. Hig-
gins speak Of the sanctity of the right to
vote ia view OF the fact that in practice
he regards it as purchasahle commodity
to be bought in open market by his party
friends. To hear him talk he would be
willing to hang or quarter a man who
would profane the ballot by bribery.
/" Mr.. Higgins, gross inconsistency
is shown by contrasting his utterances
in 1881 when he was seeking to estab-
lish that the assessment laws of this
state were registration laws and there
fore justified the appointment of super
visors Of election. with his utterances
now. In his argument before Judge
Bradford in 1881 he complimented the
purity and wisdom of the craftsmen of
our assessment and collection laws and
dwelt with considerable warmth upon the
care which they manifested in guarding
the ballot box against frauds and impo-
sitions of designing men. This Mr.. Hig-
gins cannot deny as the speech he made
on.that occasion has been carefully pre-
served

TX another column we print an editorial
from the Philadelphia Bulletin because It
is the first Republican paper to take
oognizance Of and condemn, though
mildly, the schemes Of the dishonest pro-
sessional politicians and pension-grab-
bers against the public treasury. The pen
sion rolls contain half a million names
aud the number is increasing enormously
under Corporal Tanner. The Republicans
could not possibly carry Indiana Illinois,
Michigan or Wisconsin II it were not for
their attitude on the pension allowances
1t has become public scandal that all
sorts of frauds are practiced on the de.
partment This is discreditable to the
honorable soldier as well as TO the
country.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The New York Evening Post thinks
that Vermont and New Hampshire in
their efforts to repeople the abandoned
districts of those States are overlooking
the most obvious source of supply.
"There are" says the Post, items and
hundreds of thousands of negroes in the
South who want to leave their present
homes, and whose white neighbors want
to have them leave, There Is serious
talk of movement to transport them IN
large numbers to the Territories in the
Northwest, which cover the same degrees
of latitude as Vermont and New hamp-
shire, Why not invite them into New
England, and if they need help TO get
there, raise money to bring them"
Ii is the Posts funny man who makes
this suggestion, and, Notwithstanding
its source, we are inclined to think 1t
not altogether bad. 1t is said that some
of the negroes of the South who are To-
Gated in the vicinity of iron mills earn
as high as $3.50 and So 90 a day. Men
capable of earning such pay are credit
to any State, and, if they are well be-
bayed. as we have no doubt these men
are, we should be glad to see few
of them located in Vermont.
We understand, also, that the colored
brother has organized stock company
with a capital of $25, 900 and is to hold
fair on the borders of Tennessee and
Kentucky; fair with races, too, and
the horses owned by colored men and
ridden bv colored boys, with $1,000 In
purses. = This colored boy we hear so
much about is evidently not lackingi In
or enterprise when he gets
walked up, and he represents
Just the sort of people we want up here
in Vermont, Let him come by all means
and we will guarantee him good treat,
ment and that he shall enjoy equal
rights and privileges with the rest ot u.s.
Moreover, if a band Of rutfians venture
to enter his home without legal right
and to horse whip him, or to murder his
innocent children, we will agree not
only to denounce these lawless acts IN
the columns of our newspapers but 10
bring the guilty men before jury, who
in turn shall bling in a verdict OF guilty
every time. We will provide Judge,
too. who shall mete out justice to the
offenders in of thefoIm a sentence COM
mensurate with the crime committed.
Yes, we heartily agree with our mug
wumpian contemporary that the chance
thus afforded ITO show the rest oil the
nation how perfectly simple any ques-
ton is when New Highlander tackles IL
is too good to be lost, and would ike
nothing better than to see it put into
operation.-Free Press.

PROCTOR KNOTS STORY.

Sitting in the rotunds of the Alexan-
II Hotel # Louisville, Proctor Knott told
this story st was the most remarkable
scene / ever witnessed. 1t occurred DUR
| ing my early manhood. when / was At
torney General OF Missouri. Robert
Stewart was then Governor OF that state.
One day was in his private office when
he pardoned a steamboat man for some
crime, What it was Ilhave forgotten,
but that does not matter. The man had
been brought from the penitentIaTy to
the Governors office. He was large,
powerful fellow, with the rough manners
Of his class.
"The Governor looked at the steam
boat man and seemed strangely affected.
He scrutinizsd him closely. Finally he
signed the document that restored him
to liberty, but before he handed 1t to
him, said You will commit some other
crime and be in the penitentiary again, ]
fear The man solemnly promised that
he would not. The Governor looked
doubtful, unused a few moments, and
said
"'You will go back on the river and
be mate again, / suppose p
''The man replied that he would.
well, l want you to promise ME
one thing resumed the Governor,
want you to pledge your word that when
you are mate again you will never take
a billet of wood in your hand and drive
sick boy out Of bunk to help you
load your boat on stormy night
"The steamboat man said that he
would not and he inquired what the
Governor meant by asking him such a
question. ..... .......
"The Governor replied because some
day that boy may become Governor
and you may want him to pardon you
for a crime. One dark, stormy nigh
many years ago you stopped your boat
on the Mississippi TO take on load OF
wood. There was a boy on beard who
was working his passage from New Or
leans TO st. Louie, but he was very sick
of fever and was lying in bunk.
You had plenty Of men to do the work,
but you went to that boy with stick OF
wood in your hand and drove him, with
blows and curses, out into the wretched
night and kept him toiliDg like slaYe
until the load was completed. l was
that boy. Here is your pardon. Never
again be guilty Of such brutality And
the man, covering and hiding his face,
went out. As l never heard OF him
again suppose he took care not to break
the law .
