But all of rs know and feel that it
was a cruel piece ~ injustice to US to
put the ballot into his hands in his
present half-civiIized state. It is
further fully conceded by the intelli-
CANT men OF the North that giving
him the ballot was a mistake. All
that is necessary is the repeal Of the
fifteenth amendment, and believe
there is a prospect of its repeal. The
South has large vote in the Elec-
toral College and a number of Repre-
sentatiyes in Congress based on the
negro as a voter. The Northerner
thinks we don't let him vote as he
wishes. and thus get an unfair voice
in both those bodies. Well, let US
give up that part of our electoral
vote and these Representatives in
consid Grafton of the repeal Of the Af-
teenth amendment. The South will
never have peace while the negro has
a voice. It will remain the bad land

Gay evening, on which date two
whites, r. Rau and HILLARY Roberts,
were stabbed, and a number of whites
and blacks more or less injured with
pistols and knives in a fight between
members of white FIRE company
and number of negroes.
Early this evening it was seen from
this side that the colored engine

large number of people went across.
by ferry. They were met by the
Gretna military and escorted to the
fire. By this time the colored COM

house was burning. Whites with
guns congregated and kept the ne.
groes away. The only fire engine in
the place broke down and the fire
did not stop until both buildings were
destroyed. Then armed squads scat.
tered through the town, entering ne.
gro cabins, ostensibly in search of

Commissioner Tanners SpseCh.

There is a convention in session at
Columbia, Tenn, of descendants of
the Scotch. Irish settlers of this coun-
try. Before this body, yesterday,
Corporal Tanner delivered an ad-
dress and he spoke, not only in his
capacity as a Scotch Irish American
and as veteran of the war, but in
his capacity of Commissioner of PEN
sions for the United States. His
audience was largely of Southern
men. and many. perhaps majority,
of his audience had been on the Con-
federate side in the war. Standing
before such an audience, he said;
We have a surplus in the Treasury
of the United States which is mat
ter of grave concern in the minds of
the leading statesmen of both parties.

Commissioner Tanner is not one
of those who would bridge the
"bloody chasm" with declarations
that the South was just as right as the
North in the great civil war. There
is nothing mealy-mouthed about
him. He calls treason, treason. But
his heart beats in syppathy with all
good and noble aspirations South as
we'll as North, just as do the hearts

Y. M. G. A. International Convention.

Quite an interesting convention
was opened Wednesday of last week
in the City of Philadelphia. 1t was
the twenty-eighth International Con-
vention of the Young Mems Christian
Association. There was large gath.
ering of delegates. as many as one
thousand being present at the open
ing ceremonies, among them repre-.
sentatiyes from the British Isles.
from Germany, from Switzerland.
from Sweden. and even from Japan.
The convention was called to order
by Gen. 0. o. Howard, the retiring
president and feature of theopen-
ing services was singing by the entire
multitude, led by Ira d. Sankey, the
famous reviyalist. Among the lead.
ing strangers who were introduced
and who in succession addressed the
convention were Robert Byrne, of
London. general secretary of the asso.
citation there Robert McCann, trav.
cling secretary for Ireland; Baron
Won Stark, of Berlin, who spoke in
English, and Carl Fries, of Stock
holm. All of these gentlemen were
the bearers of warm congratulations
from their respective associations.
After the introduction of the new
president, Mr.. Humphrey B. Cham
berlain, of Denver, COL, further re-
ports were heard, and interesting
papers were read on "The Response.
bilities of Members of the Am erican
Associations in Foreign Mission

among colored men. At the evening
session Bishop Foss. of the Metho.
dist Episcopal Church, was present
and opened the meeting by prayer.
This was followed by the grand dis.

The Divorce Evil.

of high standing in society, and great

secure secrecy in the proceedings.
ut would bring shame upon the
families of both parties" it was as
serted.
But Judge Bartlett said no. he
wanted no secret proceedings in such
a case, involving, as 1t did. the
holiest and most sacred relations be-
tween man and woman. Then it
came out that the husband, the ap-
plicant for the divorce. had, on no
foundation in fact whatever, brought
the most outrageous charges against
his wife, by getting the matter
brought before a secret tribunal. to-
prevent publicity, gain his end. and.
altering running the reputation of his
innocent wife, be able to go once
more into the world and seek another
fortune to squander.
This matter of secret divorce has
come to be disgrace not only to the
United States. but to England, and 1t
is time an end was put to 1t. We do
not, please understand, advocate the
publication in the newspapers of the
evidence in such cases, but we do
think that where there is good cause
for divorce between man and wife 1t
should be plainly and publicity DEM
onstrated.
Our divorce laws as heretofore ad.
ministered have come to be stencil
in the nostrils of decent people. and
it IL time there was a reformation. It
is gratifying to know that the refor-
nation has been instituted, and that
it starts in one of the oldest States in

will be gone. This country has not yet seen, and it certainly will not in our day and generation see, a political party that can be held together by the cohesion alone of abstract party principles. The offices, the greed of power, are the for ces that hold all parties together. Har- rison and the republican party know this, and they are busy teaching the democratic party lesson its course un- der Cleveland showed it very badly needed.
 If the democracy will keep it's eyes open and profit by what it sees the civil service reorganization that is now going on may not be wholly without value to it and to the country.

THE SERVICE.

There is no doubt that the civil service is being reorganized as rapidly as possi- ble on purely republican basis. And the railway mail service, that depart ment which the republicans stoutly maintained four years ago should be left untouched, is being treated worst of all The democratic clerks in this service are being dropped as fast as the S400,0O0 Sunday school beauty can get in his work Of the two hundred and more removals day made by Wanamaker and his assistant headsmen large pro- portion are railway mail clerks.
 The Springfield Republican, speaking of the course of the postotfice depart
 ment, says ''Al the former republi- can clerks are being put back without regard to their efficiency, and some of them are a positive detriment to the service. No one will pretend to say that these changes are made on anything but the purest spells basis. It is a shameless race to place the entire railway mail service in the hands of republicans be-
  ation. We will not fail to keep our pledges because they have broken theirs, said the Chicago platform in arraigning the democrats for their course as to civil service reform To one, however, who can interpret the course of the liar rison administration properly, perhaps it is keeping its pledges after all. The pledges alluded to in the platform were probably the pledges which the leaders made to each other, and which were best described by Senator Ingalls, when he said: 'If there are 60,000 democrats in office on the 4th of March I would at once re- place them by 10000 republicans" On no other basis surely can even the most liberal-minded reconcile the perform ances of the administration with its promises. It is doing one good thing, however It is fast making it clear that civil service reform is myth and hum. bug, a sort of stuffed club with which the party out of power can whip its an tagonists around the stump. As such il stood the republicans in good stead dur ing Cleveland's administration, though the only ones affected by it were the president and few of his admirers who thought the mugwumps race of pure and lasting strain. The last election probably took the scales from their eyes
 The fact is, there can be no such thing as civil service reform in this country When the offices are no longer the prize of political contention, when an admin istration no longer feels it incumbent tt have the ciyil. service sery in political har mony with itself, the chief Teason fo' the division of men on politicaN lines
