In the death Of the honorable Sam
uel Sullivan Cox, of New York, the
Nation has sustained great loss.
Hc was one of the ablcst men in
public life. For more than thirty
six years he was prominent figure
in the public service, and enjoyed a
national reputation as lawyer, hui
morist, author, orator, scholar and
statesman. rs Representative in
Congress, as the Spcakcroi the House,
and rs n member Of the diplomatic
service, he was always distinguished
for the faithful performance of duty,
and throughout his brilliant career
preserved his personal and political
honor without stain. lie was ever
q stcadfast friend of the South, and
knew no North, no South, no East,
no West, but only our common coun-
try and general good, in the discharge
of his varied and responsible duties.
a Democrat on prnclplc, he always
possessed the confidence of his party.
Able in debate, trusted in council,
and faithful in friendship, the South,
Of which he was an able champion,
( will have cause to deplorc his death.
The foundation for the bynamc of
"Sunsct" to Mr.. Cox is real and the
application is complimentary. In
the Ohio Statesman Of Ma 10, 1858,
appeared the following brilliant de-
scription of the setting of the sun,
headed "a Great Old Sunset"
"What a peculiar sunset was that
of last night! How glorious the
storm and how splendid the setting
of the sun! We do not remember
ever to have seen tho like on our
round globe. The scene opened in
the West, with a whole horizon full
of golden intcrpcnctratlng lustcr
which colorcd the foliage and bright
ened every object in its own rich

Commissioner Tanner Resigns.

On the 18th instant, James Tanner,
Commissioner Of Pensions, sent in his
letter of resignation to President IIar-
rson, which was no sooner received than
accepted. His resignation was plainly
forced upon him because Of his reckless
sqlandcring of the public money in the
gnisc Of pcnsioning Federal soldiers.
His career had been short and inglorious.
He had accepted and acted literally on
the suggestion Of President Harrison to
edo the best he could for tho boys But
lIo went SO far in his wonton bcstowal of
pensions, by way of pandcring to the so
called soldier element" that his me-
thods must have become disgusting as well
as annoying to the President and his party.
Still the Republican party and the pre-
sent administration arc responsible for
his sins, and they will be held to strict
account for this waste Of the people $
money. The President has got rid Of
Commissioner Tanner, but he cannot so
easily rid his administration OF Mr.. Tan
ncrs policy.

We notice n somewhat interesting
local from Oaliway, dated September
7, 1880, signed dan" The greedy
postmaster at Oakway, spoken of
by Dan," would be doing him a
great favor by mounting the little
post Office on wheels and sending her
around to sec "Dan" every morning
to deliver his paper. We sup
pose that would satisfy the i'll con-
vcnicncc sustained by the recent
change in schedule. 1t seems that
"Dan" takes ar exceedingly wide
through in the post Office enterprise
to have no particular share in the
crop. But very few men arc pos
scssed with the enterprise and public
spirit spoken of by him. We sup
pose he inherited it from his father
The postmaster at this place pro,
poses to use every effort to change

The accumulation Of wealth in the

The accumulation Of wealth in the
hands Of few, and the increasing
poverty of the multitude, is olninous.
BY such conditions many nations
have pcrishcd. Egypt fc'l when
three por cent. of her population
owned nincty-livc per cent. Of her
wealth. Babylon went down when
two per cent. of her people owned
all tho land. Pcrsia's glory departed
when one per cent. of her people
owned all the land. When Rome
fell 1900 men owned the known
world. What is our case? In 1880
the capitalists of this country owned
thirty per cent. of the national
wealth; in 1910, thirty-scvcn per
cent. ; in 1850, forty five per cent. !;
in 1860, ffty-scvcn per cent. ; in
1870, sixty-fivc per cent; in 1880,
seventy per cent. and in 1890 they
will own not less than eighty per
cent. Of the wealth Of the country

Tho Negro Colonization Scheme.

Much has been said recently by
certain politicians and newspapers
\ about the colonization of the ne
groes, and many advocate this scheme
rs the long looked for and coveted
]! solution Of the vcxcd negro problem.
We have read and listened attentive
$ly to tho plans of colonization as pre-
ssented by Mr.. VIM. p. Calhoun, Of
55sAbbeyille, Senator Hampton and
otEe,'s, who by one fell stroke, would
remove the negroes to some distant
|; ;clime, and thcrc establish them in
1 Ia government exclusively their own.
Well, if they could only practice
what they preach, the scheme might
#be worthy Of some consideration;
but why spend 50 much time and
thought in advocating a scheme
which is practically impossible, and
hence only q, wild dcl;'sion?
s That many of our colorcd popula-
Stion can well be spared we readily
admit, and would be glad to sec
them emigrate to some favored cline,
and there become happy and pros
porous people under their own vine
\ and fig tree. But whence the autho-
rity to lay hold Of any citizen, be he
8 white or black, and against his will
carry him from one State or Terri
tory to another, and when there say
to him, "thus far shalt thou go and
no farther. Abide ye here ?" If
this were a practical proposition, and
did no violence to the constitutional
guarantees, both Of the United
States and all the States, there
would be some allowance for the ad-
yocacy of this doctrine. 1t is the
practical difficulty in the way of
reducing this abstract proposition to
the concrete, that makes us hesitate
TO accept ii rs the means of solving
the knotty race question, anxious as
we arc to see the best and highest
good achieved for both races.
If the colorcd people can see how
they will better tn ,ir condition by
going elsewhere, and by mutual con-
sent forming State and government
of their own, all well and good. 1t
would then be their privilege and
their duty to do so, and we would
aid them in their journey to this land
Of promise.
In the meantime, however, and
so long as the two races dwell to-
gcther, let there be that harmony,
fairness, friendship and forbcarancc
that is alone consistent with the
highest good of both. Let each
lend a helping hand to the other,
and 50 long as the white and the
black, in the Providence OF God, arc
called to inhabit this fair Southland
us their common home, let there be
mutual confidence, friendship and
forbearancc, as each works out his
best and his highest development.
The negro never had better friend
than the white man of the SCuth to-
day, and the good of both 'cpcnds
in large measure upon his + ccption
Of this truth, and giving in return
his confidence and friendship. Re
ccivinc this, it then bchoovcs the
white man to give his brother in
black Justice, fairness and generous
helr, measured in that fullncss which
the strong should always give the
weak.

the passengers and see that the car Is kept
perfectly clean. In one end is the ladies
