The Prices Of sugar.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
In consideration Of the fact that Con-
gress win meet before many months the
Sugar Trust shows some signs Of alarm.
The managers pretend that they would
gladly reduce the price Of refined sugar,
but that they are compelled to maintain
Il by reason of the high cost Of raw
sugar. Their Trust alone keeps up the
price Of the raw material. In London on
Wednesday the price Of raw sugar was
81 cents, and for October sugar a little
less than cents pound. In New York
on Wednesday the price of the same
quality OF raw sugar was cents, and
the wholesale price Of refined sugar was
9s cents pound. Something else must
account for the wide difference bet ween
the two markets besides the alleged
failure of the sugar crops. That some.
thing else is the manipulation of the
Sugar Trust behind its shelter Of a duty
of 81 cents pound upon refined sugar.

Fun Of Demagogues and Jobbers.

Full OF Demagogues and JObbers.
New York Herald.
The working classes can hold the bal
ance of power in almost any election, but
they are like Jumbo--a huge, unwieldy
creature, who doesn't know his own
strength. Poor Jumbo was maltreated
by his keeper, who drove the prod into
him until he roared. But 1t all ended in
a roar. II he had had sense enough he
could have knocked his keeper over the
ropes. Being nothing but an elephant,
however, he let the fellow prod him as
much as he pleased.
Workingmen may bemoan their lot
but so long as they have the remedy in
their own hands and fail to use 1t sym
pathY is misplaced Acrid speeches won't
save them harangues against monopolies
are simply the believing Of fog horn.
When they know how to act togeth er
they will accomplish something-not till

There are laborers' votes enough in
New York state TO control the Legisla-
ture and dictate measures Of relief. If
present laws discriminate against them
they can have new laws made. By get
ting together and keeping together they
can change the complexion of affairs and
compel the Legislature TO do them JUS
tice.
But their ranks are full of demagogues
and jobbers. Petty factional jealousies
are the blood poison in the body of
Knights which weakens and destroys
their influence. They roar like Jumbo
when the monopolist prods them, but
nothing more.
Powderly is right. The ballot box IL
the enginerY of revolution, and until the
wage earners Of the country recognize
that fact and govern themselves accord

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
Bayard for Governor.


Philadelphia Times.
When a party gets in decay at the
top and run down at the heel, 10 requires
heroic treatment to restore it to vitality,
and that is about the condition of the
Democracy OF Delaware. Because the
people of Saulsbury's county wouldn't
stand an eternity Of rule by mean medi-
ocrity, Salisbury traded to the opposing
party the honors he conld no longer force
from unwilling neighbors True, he did
not expect to trade away party power,
but he expected to cheat his own people
out of their wishes by trading his own
county to his politilal enemies and saving
himself outside of his own rebellious
people. The logical result followed
Others traded for cash or approved politi-
cal produce, and Salisbury made Hig-
gins Senator.
Party decentralization must logically
follow such perhdy where unmerited
honors have been long awarded, and the
Democracy of Delaware is racked from
centre to circumference blythe petty
feuds Of petty men. Only some heroic
political policy can rescue party thus
demorahzed from certain disintegration,
and the heroic treatment comes in the
suggestion TO make Thomas II. Bayard
the next Governor of the state. That
would be the perfection Of heroic treat.
ment. and IL would assure the rehabilita
tion of the party on plane that could
not fail TO give it enduring success.
The Office Of governor is not big place
| for one who was first elected TO the Sen
ate on the same day with his father, and
who continued as Senator for many years
until called to the Premiership Of the
Cleveland administration; but Bayard
owes everything to Delaware, and he
should not hesitate to accept the candi.
dacy for governor. Such a nomination
would draw the lines sharply between
honest party men and sneak thief traders,
and the sooner the Delaware Democrats
draw that line sharply the sooner will
they cease to blush for party degradation
and party defeat.

"A more loyal, la w-ablding peo-
pie do not inhabit any portion of the
globe than are the Southern people.
They are strong for the right and as
powerful in resisting wrong. An
effort is being made by the United
States Court TO deprive certain citi-
zens of Florida of their rights and
liberties, by refusing them the inhe-
rent right of every citizen-a fair and
impartial trial in his own vicinage-
by dragging them from their homes
and their families away to the U. S.
Court at Jacksonville; and there hold
ing poor men from day to day, at a
heavy individual expense-and these
men have committed no crime. II
there was the slightest hope that
they would get fair trial in that
court there would not be heard the
slightest murmur OF objection. But
the rulings of the judge, the acts of
the District Attorney, and the 22-to-
one grand jury business gives the
whole thing away. The statutes pro-
vide for the holding of terms of the
court at Tallahassee, and at Tallahas-

arralgned and tried. but not by par
tisan Judge, a partisan prosecutor,
and 22-to-one partisan grand jury.

Is There A Law Above the Courts!

If there be law above the courts,
1t is the law of self-protection-judi-
cial bodies, for ages past, have re-
cognlzed the right of man to protect
his life, liberty and home.
When charged with a crime, or
any otfense against the laws of the
country, there is an inherent right Of
the people to demand fair an i'm
partial trial; to demand that the
ermine be unsullied; that the jury
be unprejudiced, fair-minded and
above suspicion.
After all the legerdemain and
presto conjuring of twenty-five Re
publican graud jurors out of list of
six hundred names, half of which
were claimed to be Democrats after
the stubborn and dictatorial rulings
OF the Judge; after the diabolical
harangues of the district attorney
can the United States court now in
session at Jacksonville he called
such an impartial and justice-dis-
pensing court ?
Most assuredly it does not seem
so.
The people-even fair-minded Re-
publicans-shake their heads when
this court is mentioned and think, if
they do not say, that it needs expur
cation.
Some say that this whole hellish
plot was concocted in Washington =?
Can it be that this is Harrison's
Southern Policy ?"
Much good it will do him if it is.
1t will only serve to more closely
weld the Democratic party together
To heal all differences in the party.
And when the ides of 1892 come,
Harrison and his Courtly clan will
be-must 6e-relegated to the past
and forever hurled from power.
So far, the actions of this court
have been but fiimsy farce.
God grant that the patience of the
oppressed people be not too sorely
tried.

The average negro in the Nortl

The average negro in the North
is far superior to the uneducated
mass of his race in the South. The
Northern people do not submit to ne
gro dictation and domination. No
body asks them to do so-no sane
man expects them to do so and the
of thepeople South aoiU not submit to
such degradation, even if the effort to
make them do so is backed up by a
partisan United States Court. The
people of Florida-Democrats-ac-
cord the negro every right under the
law that the white man enjoys, ,includ-
ing the right to vote as he pleases-
and instances are known in Florida
where negroes have appealed to Dem
ocrats to protec' them in the right to
vote as they desired-to protect them
from Republican interference. Flor.
ida Democrats tax themselves tC
support free schools for the ne
gro es. Southern Democrats pay
taxes to build negro school houses
and to pay negroes to teach
their own children. The Southern
whites and negroes can live peace
ably together and prosper SO long as
both races are left free to manage
their own affairs. Every time the
peaceful relations existing between
the whites and blacks of the South
are disturbed the negro suffers
Why? Because the unsuspecting
and ignorant black man allows him.

designing Republican demagogues.
These unscrupulous politicians treat

time when the negroes services can
be dispensed with, and he is turned
adrift to look out for himself. And
then his day of sorrow comes. He
knows he has broken faith with his
neighbors and real friends, and he is
a mighty sorry negro who is not

An Old and HOnOred Citizen IL
No More

COL Alfred A. Fisher died at his resi-
dence, in Tallahassee, Florida at II o'clock
on the night of November 2d, 1889.
Col. Fisher was in some respects very
remarkable man. Nature endowed him
with an energy and power of will that few
other men have ever possessed. If any
man was ever born insensible to fear, he
was. No danger could appall him. No
inequality of numbers could daunt him.
What he resolved to do he did, irrespective
of consequences.
He took an active part in our Indian
wars, halt century ago, and his feats OF
daring are still fresh in the memories OF
some of our old citizens.
And yet this man of iron nerve-that
was afraid of nothing-who was always in
the front of the battle, where the dangers
were the greatest-who would rush into
the midst of the enemy alone, without
stopping to count their numbers-who has
been known TO venture in frail batteau,
on raging ocean, to save drowning
child, was gentle in his disposition, and
rarely had any quarrels OF his own. In
the prime of his manhood he Joined the
Presbyterian church, and remained con-
sistent member thereof as long as he lived.
His faith in the truths of christianity was
untalterlng, and he met his death calmly
and without u shudder or the slightest ap-
prehension.
His dealings with his fellowmen were up
right, honest and honorable. He would
take advantage of no man, and few men
would venture to take advantage of him.
He filled many positions of public trust,
and was always found faithful.
Col Fisher was born in North Carolina,
but came with his father to Florida when
he was boy, and resided here until his
death. His fortunes were varied-sOme-
times he was rich, sometimes he was poor
but at all times he was the same kind
hearted man, with an iron will.
He was one of the Masons who estab-
lished the first Lodge in Tallahassee, more
than half century ago; and that Lodge,
on the 4th of November, 1889, gave him a
Mason's burial, with all its ancient cere-
monies and honors. They escorted his
body from his residence to the Presbyterian
church, where amid large congregation
of his fellow-citizens, the religious ser~ieee
were conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Little
His Masonic brethren then accompanied
the body Of their deceased brother to the
grave, where the ministers of God united
with them in laying it solemnly to rest.
Col. Fisher, many years ago. was united
in marriage with Miss Meade, OF Kentucky
She remains 10 mourn his loss, and to re.
member his virtues, while he, as we trust
and believe, has gone 10 that better land
where sorrow and grief are never known
