THE RACE RIOT IN GEORGIA.

For several months after the late Mr.. Grady
made his Justly famous speech at the New
England dinner it was supposed throughout
the North that in speaking of the New South"
he meant South which accepted the results
of the war and was sincerely and even cheer
fully endcavOring to accommodate itself and
its interests TO a social condition in which the
former slave was entitled TO all the rights of
citizenship. This was the idea his speech con
veyed and it was a long while before the
Northern people discovered that they had
taken the orator too literally. At last, how
ever, they perceived their error. The New
South" he pictured was not a new political, but
new industrial South, South of mills and
mines as well as of cotton and sugar-cane.
lie meant progress new forces of civilization.
a revival OF energy and much else that was
good. But he did not mean that the colored
citizen had any rights that the white man was
bound to respect.
Mr. Grady brought out this fact clearly in
the last of his brilliant speeches. lie showed
that however the progressive element Of the
Southern Democracy might differ from tbe
Bourbon element upon the tariff, they were in
entire harmony about the status of the negro.
He contended that the colored race was in
herently and hopelessly inferior to the white
race. and so incapable of moral and mental
that it would never be entitled

order and intelligence" he said, was massed

who fight the official ballot may be for the re-

that in the concrete they are in league with the

Whether it is /" la grippe" or not, it is un-
deniable that there is a great amount of in.
fluenza in this country at present. To-day's
reports show its prevalence in New-York, Bos-
ton. Chicago, Baltimore and other places The
victims in Boston are estimated at $4,000, and
a theatre there was closed last night because
of an actresses illness from the prevalent dis
ease. The American influenza thus far is of a
considerably mider type than the European
article and it is noticeable that the Health
officers of this city and Chicago still insist that
the two are by no means identical. The eX-
ten of the ravages of the foreign influenza may
be Judged from the statement that one-thrd OF
the population of Paris are Frustrated by it.

RADICALLY WRONG.

The other day man named DOBsON died
In Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and at his
burial there were thirteen pall-bearers.
DoBsox left a fortune valued at sG000,OO0,
and the local papers refer with pride t. the
fact that the average wealth Of the bearers
is SS,OOO.OOO each. AL had made their
money in the coal and iron industries, and
some of them were poor when they began
their careers.
We may boast over such men, and ap-
plaud their genius, but there is danger to
the commonwealth itself in the system
which makes possible the amassing Of such
vast fortunes in a single lifetime.
These men have grown rich by squeezing
the public. Poor people have contributed
the wealth. BY combinations, trusts and
protective laws, the fair prices Of the
necessaries Of life have been doubled and
trebled. The toilers, the men whose labor
has created this wealth, have been ground
down to starvation wages; every year or
two they are driven to make fight for
existence, the grasping millionaires seek
ing to increase their own profits by com
pelling the men to reduce their living ex-
peQScS 10 tue IOWcSt pJSSlOAC PO4AO-
The toilers may be ignorant and
stupid; their way of living and the straits
in which they are put at times would natur
ally make them dull; but they are shrewd
enough to know that something is wrong in
society when one man can, in few years,
pile up millions, while the hundreds and
thousands of honest, industrious, frugal,
Woodworking men around him are groveling
in poverty, suffering from want twelve
months in the year. We protest against
strikes, and denounce socialists. COM
munists and anarchists as enemies to
society and threats to the government.
and at the same time maintain by legis-
lation and the power of the state systems
which breed these social malcontents and
disturbers.
Doubtless all the Dobson pall-bearers are
honorable men, and they are not to be
blamed for owning a hundred and odd mil
lions; but laws, customs and systems which
have made it possible for them to accumu-
late the almost fabulous sum while the
thousands of equally good men by whom
thew are surrounded are half-clad in winter
and half-fed the year rom l, are w o lg. The
remedy. or the correction, may never come,
and the inequality may always exist, but no
one can say that matters are right while
these things prevail.

A CORRESPONDENT asks: ''With which
political party is the majority in the Dis
trict of Columbia!" Our. querist evidently
does not understand that the citizens of the
District do not vote That little part of the
United States is governed directly by Con-
gress. which makes laws for the people of
Washington and other cities in the ten-mile
tract The President Of the United States
is governor of the District and mayor Of the
capital city, and he appoints commissioners
and marshals who execute his orders
under rules established by the ma
tioual legislature. On several occasions
the people have asked for some OF the rights
o. citizenship; they have appealed for the
privilege of electing their local officers, and
for the right to at least have something Of
10 al self-government. But to grant the re-
quest would be to deprive the politicians Of
some of their patronage, and this cannot be
tolerated What makes the people partially
content with the loss Of their political rights
is the fact that Congress votes lots Of money
for the material improvement of the city.

THEY ARE PECULIAR.

For months past agents Of big syndi-
cate of Englishmen have been in this coun-
try buying up American brewcries. With
the exception of two or three they have
captured all the large concerns, and many
of the smaller ones, and they are bidding
for the remainder. The estimate is that it
will require fifty millions to accomplish the
object sought. The scheme Of the syndi-
cate is said to be to form trust, issue stock
TO double the amount of the investment,
and dispose Of the watered shares to the
British. The plan is a clever one, and
will doubtless succeed, for Of all the people
easily gulled by American invest
ments, the English capitalists excel.
1t used to be deemed no trick at all to 90
over to London and dispose Of an unprom-
ising prospect for more than rich and
productive mine would fetch in America.
Our friends from the other side of the At
lantic were, as a rule, careful to send
learned expert and shrewd financial man
80 make a thorough examination of the
property, and thus make certain that their
countrymen were not being bilked, and
these gentlemen were as careful to paint
matters in brighter colors than they had
been pictured by the American promoter.
And thus, in many cases our respected cous-
ms were badly bitten, and they vowed they
would never again have anything to do with
American enterprises. The next American,
however, who took a prospect across the
water and represented it as a mine, found
the way open to dispose of it to the gull
ible.
The men who buy this beer trust watered
stock will fare no better than those who
bought wildcat mines and shares in ''air-
line" railways. The brewery-owners
have, in every instance, sold their plants
and business for all they were worth, and
the new owners can make profits on no
more money then they have invested. This
country is full Of men who
know how to make beer, and the
material from which it is made is so plenti-
full as to preclude the possibility of ''cor-
ner," so that before the Americans will
permit the English to pay dividends on one
hundred millions capital, with fifty millions
investment. the former will build more
breweries. Then the English will growl
about American swindles and swindlers,
and stand ready to snapup the first scheme
which is laid before them from this country.

WoLFLEY, THE Tucson gentleman who
has been nominated for governor of Ari-
iona, seems to be somewhat of hard citi-
zen. At any rate the opposition to him
would indicate that he is tough. But if a
story told by Washington newspaper is
true, we will stand up for WOLFLEY every
time in preference to the person who was
his most formidable rival for the place. The
story is that the gentleman referred to had
already been decided upon for the place.
He was well recommended and seemed to
possess all the requirements of a successful
candidate. The President had about made
up his mind to make the appointment and
everything looked lovely. But the other
morning the anxious candidate appeared at
the White House. He carried a package
under his arm. 1t was something for the
President. He was granted an audience
and after shaking hands with General
HARRISON, undid the package. 1t contained
a volume handsomely bound in gilt and
Russia leather of the most expensive sort
1t was very fine looking book. He pre-
scented it to the President, saying it was
something he would like him to have and
would like him to read. He was especially
solicitous that it should be read The Pres
ident put it on his desk, and when he got a
to spare looked over the title plge.
There, in letters of red and gilt, was in
scribed, 1.-THE life of -, candidate for
governor of Arizona" etc. 1t was the life
of the gentleman who presented it, and
contained many reasons why he should be
made governor of Arizona. 1t, in itself,
however, was considered reason enough for
not appointing him. 1t was going little
too.far. AT ew days afterwards WoLFLEY
got the appointment, and the other mans
