That all the fools are not dead is too
clearly proven by the recent speech of
Henry W. Flournoy, at Richmond, Va,
Thursday night, the 18th instant.
Flournoy, who is secretary of the Com
monwealth for Virginia, addressed the
Powhatan, Richmond's crack Demo-
cratic club, when he said he thought the
solution of the Negro Problem would be
the final Acknowledgement of the Colored
man. With regard to the approaching
canvass in the old Dominion, the same
high (?) authority says the race question
should overshadow every other. In the
light of such addresses as the above.
those, who are most inclined to doubt.
must believe that Hon. J. M. Langston
told the simple truth, when he said he
had been elected to congress from the
Petersburg district, and that the Harri-
son and Morton electors had received a
majority of the votes in Virginia. Men
of the Flournoy stripe would steal the
earth, and that with divine approba-
ton, if they thought the Colored man
was force to be considered in the theft.

made by the excellent New York Age.
We have this to say to the editors of the

that our arrows should be directed
against the common enemy, and in
favor of our own friends and our own
race. Mr.. Langston was fairly elected
to Congress in the November election;
and he should be seated because he was
elected. AS to Mr.. Langston personally,
it is but just to state that the Colored
people of America, and our white fellow
citizens, generally, will be proud of the
kind of congressman John M. Langston
will make,

Now in the Spring of the Year.

During Winter, Nature wisely arranges
that we should live on foods containing
much fat, or, as they are known, hydro
carbons, for the purpose of suppl ying heat
to the body; the chemical operation neces
sary to transform fat into heats the exclu-
slve work Of the liver, and so during the
time stated it is constantly congested.
With the approach of warm weather our
diet changes to muscle-producing food, and
the work of the liver is much les;,ened. In
the majority of cases, however, it is unable
to completely throw off the excess of bile,
but remains congested, causing that lazy,
tired feeling which many have in theSpring
months, when the weather becomes warm,
This is evidence of an unhealthy con.
dition, and though people appreciate the
necessity OF an Alternative at this period, the
common idea is to take drastic pills and
produce a cathartic effect, only to make
matters worse. The liver must be uu-
loaded, and its proper action restored be-
fore hot weather, if you wish to preserve
health, and If this distinct call of nature is
unheeded serious results will occur.
The blood will become loaded with bile
and lithic acid, and as every drop of vital
fluid passes through the kidneys to be puri.
fed, they soon break down and are unable
to carry out the deadly poison. Warmers

but on the liver also.

Farming East and West.

The Western farmer, with his
hundreds of acres Of new and fertile
soil, looks with contempt upon the
small and often sterile farms that are
to be found in some parts of New En-
gland. The owner of a Western farm
of eight hundred acres, nearly all OF
it under cultivation, who was visiting
in Maine, sent a letter home, in which
he expressed his mind freely as fol.
lows:
Here in this country they call two
acres of ground, six hens and an old
rooster a farm, and half the time one
acre OF ground is graveyard. Give me
old Kansas every time. Youth

wonder that Colored candidates rarely
or never secure the office to which they
are fairly elected. It is to be hoped,
also, that when the congressional con-

persons and papers, will be given their
full weight. ..

the lowest mental positions. What is
true of Louisville is true of the South
generally, and the Colored men, crowded
out in all the peaceful avocations of life,
have nothing left but to embark on the
turbulent and stormy sea of politics. II
the whites of the South fear Colored
rule let them open their stores, fac
tories, machine shops etc.; and hire
Colored men and boys as readily as they
DO white ones, and there will be no fear
OF any trouble with them. Whether
the dominant race in America chooses to
admit it or not the Colored-Americans
by right of birth are entitled to every
right vouchsafed themselves. Patience
and long suffering are hereditary char
acteristics of the Colored people of
America, but they are here to stay and
they will strenuously oppose every
effort to make their condition worse than
it is. If the whites consider the COL
ored people bad citizens, they should give
them every chance to grow better. It
took them many centuries to reach their
present boosted plane of civilization, be-
cause they had no teachers, but, under
their tutorship, We may reach the same
plane by much shorter road. They
were not satisfied to be serfs and slaves
neither are we; they would not be salts
fed with what they now give us, neither
are we. When they learn to treat us in
every particular as they would wish to
be treated themselves, that instant the
NEGRO problem will be solved.

The power of corporations to evade their
just liabilities by resort to legal TECHNICAL
ties is illustrated by the fact that the ele-
waited railroad companies of New York still
owe to owners of property injured by the
presence of their lines $725, $50 of the $780,
221 OF judgments recorded against them.
The l. companies have the policy of staving
off the payment Of claims in all cases in the
hope of firing out claimants. One of their
tricks is to reduce the amount of awards of
damages by having cases before the courts
transferred to friendly commission. Even
after judgments have been obtained that
course is resorted to, with the result of long
and irritating delays. Our institutions, be-
ing designed chiefly for the preservation of
liberty, are peculiarly open to the wies of
corporations INSCRIPTIONS enough to take
advantage Of them for self-enrchment and
rich enough to fight interminably in the
courts for ll.gotten gains.

A Delusion and a Snare.

Frank Hatton has been warming up the
civil service reformers with editorials ad
vocating the repeal of the civil service law.
If he was ever right in his life he is right in
this thing. The civil service law is delu-
sion and snare. 1t has answered every
good purpose that it can ever be expected
to accomplish. 1t has kept Republicans in
office, and enabled them to help knock out
the Cleveland administration. There will
not be another Cleveland administration
noranything like it for another century. Hill
or Whitney will be the Democratic nomi-
nee in 1899, and if either of them is elected
to the Presidency he will make clean
sweep, law or no law. In 1899 the Repub-
licans will nominate Sherman, Mckinley
Reed, or some other man, who will, if elect
ed, also put hoof on the neck OF the mon
strosity which has fastened itself upon us
solely because tits English, you know"
The law which works SO well for the mon
archy was supposed to be just the thing for
the Republic. Bah !-Kansas City Globe.

HONEST PARTY ACTION.

Until the Democracy shall have the Pres.
ident, Senate and House of Representatives
the legislation Of this nation must remain
distinctively Republican. The taxes must
be high, the pension agents must dominate
the appropriations, and where no advance
may be made in legislative infamy there
must be rigid adherence to the evils prac-
ticcd in times of complete Republican con-
troll. Such has been the history of the
nation.
The House, since Blaines time, has been
governed by a combination OF Republican
and Democratic Representatives, and party
lines rarely divide the body. This fact was
made apparent in the revolt of Hon. Mr..
Orth and other reeects who had been de-
MED their share in the customary syndicate
government 1t is within probabilities to
say that the Mills bill was the first measure
which in recent years has cleft the House
into two real halves. For decades before
July, 1888, it made no difference how bill
went, whether Democratic or Republican,
the House syndicate profited. The Direct
Tax bill offered a case in point, showing
that even as late as 'SS the minority mem.
bers OF the syndicate received their share of
the spoils. 1t was known that Speaker
Carlisle and ex.Speaker Randall were i'm.
placably opposed to each other on the main
line of policy, yet Randall was given his
old place on the syndicate. The Direct Tax
bill was opposed by the chairman of the
House Committee on Judiciary, yet the bill
was brought into the House under a special
dispensation Of Republican syndicate on
the Rules Committee. 1t was Republican
measure passed in Democratic House and
received the Q. K. of a Republican Senate.
The steal was happily killed by an honest
President
When the House meets it is free parlia.
ment. One member is as good and as great
as another. But Randall and Reed, week
after week, as We all know, walked around
the House together and talked in whisper
for fear that the cat would slip out of the
bag. After awhile Randall would take his
seat and the next thing that fell upon the
ears of the House and the country was
proposition to the effect "that the House
adopt the rules of the previous House in SO
tar as the committee has been able to re-
port" The House accepted this monstrous
yoke, and after that the member who is net
in the syndicate is legally as dumb as an
oyster.
Cock-and-bull stories are told that the
minority in the coming House is to be brid-
led. 1t is the majority which is the object
of the House syndicate's attention. The
methods practiced in the lower chamber of
Congress for the past twenty years have
precluded honest party action. The prin-
ciple men in charge have held the interests
of their syndicate to be above either coun-
try or party. If anybody may want to
know the thing TO be done when the fifty
fifth House meets, then the declaration and
preservation of its own freedom is the thing
to be accomplished, and we shall have hon.
est party action begin at the right place

NO MANS LAND.


A curious constitutional problem is likely
TO be presented to the American people be-
fore very long. 1t is, in effect whether
State can surrender its constitution and
statehood and be RENTED to the condition
of a territory. 1t is question, like that of
secession, upon which the constitution Of
the United States is silent, but which will
have to be settled, not by war, but by some
extra constitutional device. 1t will arise in
respect to the State of Nevada, which, with
out offence be it said, appears to be in
moribund condition.
Since 1870 its population has been steadily
decreasing, until now there are probably
not more than 10000 residents of that sterile
and rocky region. There never was any
thing but the bonanza mines to induce peo-
pie to go thither, and now that these are
practically exhausted and no new mines
are being discovered, the people are rapidly
leaving For years the State has been gov
erned from San Francisco, and all of its
expenses have been paid by the silver kings,
who, for the peor honor Of being United
States Senator or Governor, or some such
officer, have held it as sort of pocket Dor
ough.
In the nature of things such a condition
of affairs cannot last, and the people who
are residents Of this State are beginning to
realize the same They know that within
its present borders there are not sufficient
resources to sustain such a population as a
State should have, and they have been seek
ing to gain additional territory. A year or
out of Idaho, and not long since the Legis-
lature of the State sent a committee to the
Legislature of California praying that few
of the northern counties of California might
be annexed to Nevada. The mission was
in vain, and the committee returned des-
pondent
The entire State is so uninviting and so
wanting in natural resources that even the
Mormans have refused to go and possess
the land. There is State with all its ma
chinery at their hand, which they could
easily control and IN great measure make
themselves independent, so far as their pecu-
liar institutions are concerned, of the federal
government and yet they refuse it. This
tells the whole story. There is no hope for
Nevada, and its population must dwindle
away until few but office holders are left.
So long as the San Francisco millionaires
last, and are willing TO pay the expense, the
State may continue, but when they give out
as they must in time, and no people are left
to be taxed, what will the office holders do
They, too, will decamp and the State will
die OF inanition. But the constitutional prob
lem will remain. There will be 10000
square miles of rocks and desert over which
the United States government will have
no more legitimate constitutional control
than over the State of Maryland. Under
the constitution Congress cannot divide q
State nor add to it without the consent Of
the people of that State. But if the people
have fed, what is to be done? 1t looks as il
at no distant day Nevada would be in truth
