A great many of the newspapers
all over the country persist in call
ing Maj. I. B. Edgington, who
made the famous negro suffrage
spe ech at Memphis recently, ga re-
publican and an old Union soldier
The latter part of the appellation
is right, but the first part is decid
eddy erroneous as Maj. Edgington
is member of the Shelby County
Democratic Executive Committee.
In the course of his now famous
speech Maj. Ellington said:-
There is an irrepressible conflict
between white suffrage and negro
suffrage. All dreams of dividing
the colored vote are utopian.
This vote is now and always will
be rare vote. The negro never
can attain to that position of supe-
rlority that will permit his vote to
ever become anything but a race
vote. The enactment of negro suf-
frage was the great crime of the
age. The guardian angel of our
unfortunate country was sleeping
when that foul deed was done. Any
republican who sincerely favors
negro suffrage is the misguided
victim of a maudlIn philanthropy.
Any democrat who favors it favors
also the stealing of the ballot when
it Is deposited.

1t now appears that the Cambr
county, Pa, grand jury will have
some serious work in connection
with the Johnstown harbor. Our
readers will remember that the ac-
counts in the dailies distinctly
stated, Immediately after the news
came OF the breaking of the dam,
that it had .been regularly inspected
every month by the engineers oil
the Pennsylvania railroad and pro-
nounced safe. 1t is now developed
by expert Inspection, that the dam
was but little more than an en-
bankment of loose earth, and the
only wonder is that it did not break
before. The laws of Pennsylvania
are, we believe, very rigorous IN
holding careless inspectors person.

criminal prosecutions will follow.

Of that man who is conscious of a

Rev. DR.. Field, editor of the New

history of negro suffrage at length

something over twenty years toe

FiUe Hundred Thousand DrdaU
ing Pensions

we see by aid of some of our ex
changes that the Richmond Dis
patch and the Chicago Tribune are
debating as TO the fighting value of
the northern and southern soldiers.

both are Americans there is no diff
ference between them, for when
Americans have to fight and are
well led they usually fight valiant
ly, but when the future historian
consnlts the pension records he
will wonder what deadly weapons
were employed by the armies OF
the south. He will discover on the
pension roll more men seriously
wounded than can be found on the
muster roll Of all the southern ar
mics fit foi service at any one time.
