ENTERED AT PosToFFJCE As SECOND CLASS INTER
SATURDAY, JULY l3, 1889,

The great speech of Philosopher Edg-
lngton at Memphis in which he used the
Australian rabbits to illustrate the fecun-
dity of the Colored people has brought
the rabbits into the distinguished posi-
ton" into which Carlysle says man on
the gallows occunies. Consequently, we
feel in duty bound to give our readers
latest news from the rabbits, viz: "Drs.
Germont and Loir, representatives of
NJ. Pasteur, of Paris, who went to
Australia twelve months since with a
secret in their possession which they al
legged would exterminate the rabbits,
came home on the Orient company's
Cuzco, which arrived at Plymouth re-
Gently. They complain bitterly of their
treatment in Australia. The passing of
law preventing the introduction of mi
crobes placed distractions in their way.
The Rabbit Commission reported that
Pasteur's system was not dangerous, but
not efficient. The commission, however
refused to allow public trial to be
made"
Edgington may see in this a
foreshadowing of how his "scent' to
"externainate" the political influence of
the Colored voter will result. When
some of his insane advisers notice the
point that of the doctrine of the "Sur-
vival of the fttest'' is true, Ellington
simply proved. the superiority of the COL
ored race, they may not be so delighted
with his eloquence. If it be true that
the white race is, in it's competition
with the Colored, going to the wall, which
is superior? Darwin and Huxley can
give some light upon this theory, if the
major can turn his attention from rab-
bits and .sparrows long enough to read
thelr WORKS. And, II he will devote
some attention to an ancient work called
the Bible, he may learn a good deal
about superior races who abused their
privileges and even became the slaves
of their former bondsmen on account of
their wickedness. The "fecundity" of
the Jews in Egypt alarmed the Pharaohs
and some of Edgington's ancestors in
'trodoced the remedy of affecting them,
but "the more they afflicted them the
more they multiplied and grew" The
superior race when last heard of were
at the bottom Of the Red Sea. So, in all
history, whenever a superior race has
become superior to Gods law, its down.
fall was near at hand.

Father Slattery said at the recent
convention of Colored Catholics, in
Washington: When I asked the Sui
picians to teach Colored student at St..
Mary's Seminary, they said that they
themselves had no objection, but that,
with his consent, they would consult
their seminarians. They had about one
hundred and fifty young men. The
question was put to a vote, and how
many do you think voted to receive my
Colored student? How many? Every
mothers son of them. There was not
one dissenting vote. When I told this
to tie Cardinal, his Eminence said: Il
rejoice with all my heart If one of the
seminarians had voted against the COL
ored youth, I would have hung my
head in shame" We commend the
above to the careful and prayerful con-
sideration of professed Christians OF all
sects. Many of these denounce Catho-
licism in the bitterst of terms as system
of untold iniquity, yet they would not
dars to say that the Colored youth would
have received such christian treatment
in any of their churches, institutions, or
schools. On the contrary, many of them
are so blind as net to see their heathen-
ish prescription is entirely irreconeele-
ably with the teachings of Christ, and
that they are burlesquing christianity.

Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-02-25

THE total number of divorces in the
United States was increased from 1898 in
1867 to %, 535 in 1886. In the twenty
years covered by this period, 32S ZIG di-
vorces were granted. OF this number
PIG ,788 were decreed upon the petitions
of wives, and in 126, 557 cases the cause
alleged was desertion. The figures show
that the proportion of divorces to mar
riages and TO population Is rapidly in
creasing. They strengthen the plea for
stronger limitations upon the right of
divorce. If the marriage state were
popularity regarded as indissOluble it
would not be SO often entered upon has
tily and for the sake of experiment.

THE TOB4cc0 TAX.

The Philadelphia Record, a CONSTANT
and vigorous low-t tariff journal, advises
the Democrats in congress not to defeat
the Cowles lii TO repeal the tobacco tax.
It thus reasons with regard to that meas
ure: GAS it is impossible TO pass the
Mills bill through the senate, choice of
evils remains. That choice lies between
the repeal of the tobacco tax and COM
plete failure to reduce taxes. The to-
bacco tax is as good means of raising
revenue as could possibly be devised. 1t
is easily borne, cheaply collected, widely
diffused, and is paid without -grumbling
and without compulslon by consumers.
It would be a shame to remove this
tax and let the tariff taxes on
necessaries stand. But it is still
greater shame to take money from
the pockets of the people which the gov
eminent does not need; and besides, it
is a great danger to have vast sums of
money piled up in the treasury within
reach of political jobbers. The Record
therefore favors the repeal OF the tobacco
tax because it is the best revenue leg1sla-
ton within reach.
The Republicans, and protectionists
like Mr.. Randall acting with them, de-
sire the repeal of the tobacco tax as a
means of STAYING off tariff revision. The
Record, knowing tariff reform to be i'm
possible at this time, favors the repeal of
the tobacco tax as a means of preventing
waste and extravaganza and Of keeping
$50 600 200 in the pockets of taxpayers
that should remain in their pockets. 1t
is better to join the enemy in going a
little way on the right road than not to
make any progress at all.
