Why Not Surrender Them Now!

Senator Wade Hampton of South
Carolina, is quoted in a recent inter
view as wishing that the negros would
leave the South. He Processes to be-
lieve that a general exodus would be a
blessing for the South, and he says:
"We would gladly see the the colored
people move elsewhere and we would
be willing to suffer any reduction of
representation that might result from
their departure. 1t would deprive us
of much of our labor and make it lit
tie harder for the present generation,
but it would be the salvation of the fu-
ture. / do not wish any harm to the
negroes, but L would gladly sacrifice
whatever votes we get in the Electoral
College or in Congress by reason of
them if they would go off by them
selves or settle in New England. 1
would gladly vote to appropriate $780,
600, 900 for the purchase of Cuba or
some other place for them to settle in"
The Senator is narrow observer of
affairs il he thinks the South could
spare without injury the chief element
upon whose labor it depends. But the
generous proposition TO surrender the
representation which the colored popu-
lation gives to the South would seem
more reasonable if the South would
give it up now since its practical dis
reimbursement of the negro voters gives
it no Just claim to it.
1t is we'll known that in half dozen
Southern States the negro is allowed
no more participation in political af-
fairs than the mule he drives. And
vet on the theory that he is voter and
enjoys the rights of citizenship, the
South claims aud receives scores of
Congressman and scores of votes in the
Electoral College TO which it is not en-
titled. So far as enjoying political
rights is concerned, the negro would
have as much to say about American
politics if he were in Cuba rs he does
have in Alabama or Mississippi. Why
should not the South, then, give up
the votes in Congress and in the Elec-
toral College which it is illegally hold
ing by its treatment of the negro
There is n question which Senator
Hampton, as an honest man. will have
some difficulty in answering. --Iowa

begun a'movement for thu restoration
of American shipping TO the proud
position il once held. The Republican
party is in hearty sympathy with the
idea, and with Republican President
and Republican Congress. some tan.
gible and satisfactory results may bt
expected.
When President Harrison was at
Bath, Maine, few days ago, he OK
pressed his sentiments on this subject
very clearly. In his brief speech at
the once famous ship-building town,
he said: ~In every way that l can,
whether as a CT izen or as a public
officer, / shall endeavor to promote
the rebuilding of our American mer-
chant marine, and the restoration of
that great carrying trade which We
once possessed on every sea
These are hopeful words, and the
country will expect TO find some prac-
teal recommendation along the same
line in President Harrison's first mes
sage to Congress. -DeS Monies Regis

fractions would be an outfit for whole
State. Here the caves of Luray, the
grottoes of the Shenandoah, and the
Natural Bridge are lavished within a
distance of 100 miles. This is a record
unmatched in any other part OF the
world so far as known.
The cave is reached by drive of a
mile through the quaint little town
hanging on by its very ears to ra-
vine. An ungainly house covers the
entrance.
Luray is as unlike the Mammoth
Cave as the Casino is different from
the Tombs. The Mammoth Cave Is
vaster, more awe-inspiring, and in 1t
one realizes such constant possibilities
of danger and attains so much by hard
work that one feels somewhat like an
original explorer. Luray is a clean,
could take a baby, and its formations
are much more attractive as decora-
tions, although less beautiful in detail.
Here are none of those exquisite,
fiower-like formations that deck the
grimy heights of the Mammoth Cave,
but the wide sweep of line, the grace
full curves and convolutions repeated
III vast masses make a decoration of
wonderful effectiveness. The peculiar
ity of the formation is that of drapery
hanging in long, graceful folds. Some
times these are in laminated sheets so
thin as to be almost transparent,
barred with color and at the outer
edges turned and folded like a gigantic
leaf Here are chamber ON chamber
hung with these magnificent draperies.
One of the most perfect of these ar
rangements is called the "Saracen's
Tent" another is the "Wet Blanket"
behind which light shows its beauti
full translucence and delicate bars of
color. "Helen's Shawl" is another
exquisite BIZ in texture and color. In
other places the draperies appear to be
gathered back at the bottom, the folds
strangely not falling plumb.
In other places the folds are so
turned that they resent lie organ pipes,
and we have the cathedral. The organ
gives forth sounds and the guide plays
Days of Absence" with the usual skill,
and then runs through rich, vibrating
chords. The quality of the sound is
like that of deep-toned organ. Near
by on another short series of folds the
guide strikes chimes, bell-like in quail
ity and full of melody.
Elsewhere the formations are veget-
able rather than floral. There is n bed
of caulihowers and new potatoes in
glistening coats. There is also fish
market, with rows of fish hung mp for
sale and long-necked geese plucked for
market.
The imagination is not forced in
these resemblances, which would sug-
gest themselves to the most unimagi-
native. In the cathedral there is q
dainty statuette which looks like an
antique of the Madonna and Child, and
a little group that is easily resolved
into Christ blessing little children. The
trouble at such places is that these re-
semblances are too greatly insisted on,
while the charm lies in those hints
which will not bear pressing. Here
are the usual halls: The Bridal Cham
Der. the Giants Hall, Pluto's Chasm,
with a shadowy Proserpine in the
gloom, Diana's Bath, the Frozen Cas-
cades, winter than the other forma-
tons, and the guide says later forma-

The Ohio Democrats.

1t is refreshing TO find Democratic
State convention which approves and
has courage to declare its approval of
the platform framed at ST. Louis, upon
which Grover Cleveland was renomin-
ated to the Presidency. All the State
conventions of Republicans begin with
reafiirmation of devotion TO the Chi
cago platform. The Democrats of the
States generally are content TO bet that
creed of Golden, Calhoun, and Cleve-
land, which the st. Louis convention
made public, pass into oblivion. Ohio,
however, nails the free-trade flag to
Mr.. James Campbell's hat, and sends
him forth TO fish for votes, and finally
TO console himself as best he may for
the smallness of his catch
Mr.. Campbell would have done bet
ter had he been nominated without a
platform, for it is generally believed
that he retains enough of the political
philosophy and sagacity which he ac-
CURED while training with the Repub-
licans TO be aware of the inherent fall
lacy and absolute unpopularity of the
free-trade dogma. In his speech OF
acceptance he never said tariff" once.
1t is to be hoped that his less judicious
friends will force him TO talk against
"the robber tariff" and will increase
their own righteousness against it, for
the more this thing is talked of and
inquired into the larger are the Repub-
lican majorities. The Ohio Democrats
could not dodge the trust question, and
therefore resolved that
I'VE regard trusts, in whatever form
organized, as the legitimate result OF
our present tariff system, and we de-
mand the repeal of all tariff taxes that
enable them to eXtort from the people
e1orbitant prices for the products they
control
Which reads like humorous para
graph when it is remembered what
Democrat represents Ohio In the Sen
ate of the United States and what that
Democrats relationship to the great
coal oil trust is. The connection be-
tween tariff and trusts is original to
the Democratic mind, the fact being
that the coal oil trust is in an unpro-
tected article; that the projected
Anglo-American salt trust was devised
by "a free-trade Democrat who once as
pred to be Governor of Michigan, and
that nothing but the fact of the tariff
prevented that international trust from
becoming a serious fact; and also that
the only other great trust, that of the
sugar trade breads Nothing so much as
that development of competition with
beet-sugar products which a continu-
ance of the tariff is certain TO bring
about.
Hardly less humorous than its tariff
and trust utterances is this very re-
markable sentence: 1--WE denounce
the Republican party for its violations
of pledges in behalf of civil service re-
FORM" This Democratic convention,
however, carefully abstained from Civ
ing any pledges in behalf of civil SER
vice reform" on its own account. The
humor of the party that would repeal
the civil service act upbraiding the
party that favors it for occasional acts
of negligence is very diverting Chi

One Million People.

Aswe have before announced, Mr..
ii. S. Waibridge, of Toledo Ohio, made
Superior visit recently. He has for
years been one of the heavy non-resid-
ent property owners of Superior lots,
and at least to all appearances as in
different to our success and growth as
the worst of them. But man cant
have to many irons in the fire at once
lest some get chilled or other over
heated, aud as Mr. Walbridge was in
terested in large manufacturing
schemes in his Ohio home city, he could
not give much attention to Superior;
but now he has got things there in such
shape that he is at liberty TO reek new
fields for conquest, and has selected
Superior as the field to be overcome,
and has put his property into the hands
of the land company, and has entered
into the work of making a city here
with his whole heart. That his faith
in our future is unlimited there is no
doubt else he would not have kept
this large amount of unremunreatiye
property for more than thirty years,
and now that he, and others like him.
have decided to mix some good solid
works with their great faith we
shall march to the front with rapid
strides. When Mr. Walbridge got
home he was interviewed by one of the
Toledo reporters on various topics of
local interest, and when that was CON
Guided, the reporter asked what part
of the north did you visitE" to which
query Mr.. Walbridge made this pro
phetic and characteristic reply:
Il vas at the head of Lake Superior
where there will be the third or fourth
largest city in the United States 1t
is between New Y ork and San. Fran
cisco, and its location viii draw to it
from greater distance and Of the kinds
of business that viii make it the great
est inland city on this continent. 1t
has more water front and as good as
any section. 1t has as fine harb0rS and
rs easy to enfort as any to be found.
Its site can be cheaply improved and it
is to-day laying the foundation for q
city of 1905, coo of people"
That he has not overdrawn the picture
will be fully demonstrated in a very
few years. of course it will take long
years to attain to that population, but
that that is our desting will be clearly
shown within five years.

When you are in Minneapolis do not
fail to visit the leading retail store Of
the city, kept by 5. L. Olson. 1t is a
regular country general store on a
large scale. He has an elegant build
ing 50X125 feet five stories high, each
floor showing not less than two distinct
lines of goods, and some Of them more
than this. If you are just going TO be
gin housekeeping. Mr.. Olsen can fit
you out with everything from rattle
box for the baby to your carpets, beds,
hce curtains and velvet, silk or calico
dress. Twenty years ago we first got
acquainted with Mr.. Olsen when he
vas at the head of Il little store down
in southern Minnesota, doing a bust
ness of perhaps SIC, 600 year, and now
he expects to do a business of 81 Geo, GOO
this year. Ii gives us pleasure To note
such instances of prosperity, for we
know he has built his OWN monument,
beginning at the bottom Of the base,

IzaIslIine University.

We spent an hour or two at this in
stitution of learning last Sunday after
noon with our daughter Kate, who is
attending school there. 1t was not
good day for sightseeing, but Prof
Osborn, kindly showed us through such
departments as his bunch of keys would
give us access to. The buildings, three
in number, are fine structures of stone
and brick, well ventilated and well
lighted, though some of the rooms are
still in IN unfinished state. The
grounds, also, are still in a half-civili-
zed state, though considerable work
has been done here this spring, but two
or three good fountains ought to be
provided, more shrubbery set out, etc.
j t is not for a lack of taste, but of funds,
that these things are thus.
To he sure the institution is a COM
naratively new one, and has had many
obstacles to contend with, one of which
was destructive fire few years ago
There are two notable shortages in
the institution. One of these is found
in the great lack of instruments and
other things necessary for experiment
and Illustration, and now badly needed
in Science Hall. Another deficiency is
Museum Hall This room is not yet
ready to receive its curiosity shop"
collection, and the collection itself is
not quarter what it ought to be, al
though some very generous donations
have been made to it. This room is
large one, with plenty Of light and well
arranged for the use it is to be put TO,
and we shall certainly visit it again
when Prof. Osborn gets his ''show of
wax figgers" ready for exhibition.
1t is co-educational institution of
Methodist parentago, and in the few
years it has been running has gained
for itself an enviable record Lady's
Hall is presided over by Miss Shoe
maker, who has presided there some
six or seven years. She is a charming
lady of refinement and culture, and it
ter fitted for the place. The several
professors look after their respective
charges, while the whole is under the
jealous and jealous care Of the Presi-
dent, DR.. Bridgman, gentleman of
large educational experience who leaves
no ''stone unturned' to make the in
stitution the best in the land.
IIamline is doing grand work as she
is, but she could do much more If some
of our wealthy men would give her
few Of their surplus thousands with
which to purchase the needed furnish
ings to put her squarely on her feet. If
you have a child old enough to send
away to school, we advise you to give
IIamline a trial, and OurWOrd for 1t,
you will never regret doing SO. The
commencement exercises this year be-
gin June 9Th and close on the It'll, A
class of twelve, six ladies and six gen
tlemen, will then be ready TO tackle
the stern realities Of life.
