that is not fully and honestly ac-
corded the negro, and what more the
Virginia negro can claim is not clear.
Probably the next thing the negro
politicians of the south will ask of the
Republican majority in congress will
be the Acknowledgement of the white
race altogether.
These colored agitators can not see
that they are helping to prepare the
way for the overthrow of the Republi-
can party in 1892. If election laws
practically taking the management of
the ballot box out of the hands of the
people-are passed of the kind asked
for by the Virginia negro, the people
will resent it and drive from power the
party that shall commit such crime
against liberty.

NOW FOR THAT TEN MILLIONS.

Ex-Governor Evans of Colorado
telegraphed his congratulations to
Galveston, yesterday, on the selection
of that place by the deep water engi-
neers. "Now for the ten millions"
says the ex-governor. Well, that de-
ponds. We all want as many deep
harbors on our coast as possible. But
it is pretty evident that if Galveston
gets that ten millions it will not be
by the votes of the East or North.
Those sections don't want big sea-
port on the Texas coast for obvious
reasons, and they are not going to
vote money to cut their own throats.
If Texas gets that ten millions it will
be through the power of the great
West and South combined, which we
hope and trust will be the case. We
want Galveston, Mouth of the Brazos,
Sabine Pass and Arkansas Pass all to
pull through.
