NEWS SUMMARY.

Louisiana has six Congressional
Districts. The one, only, is now Re-
publican. There should be, not less
than three. The two are stolen, by
stealing the Negro vote.
That is the meaning of white SUI
premacy. That is how ii works.
How long is it to be permitted? How
long is the North going to stand it?
Don't We want more U. s. Senators
like Chandler? -(La.) Standard.
A large number of the Afro
American citizens of Topeka, Kan
sas, remained at hame last week on
the day of the congressional election.
The consequence was that the Re-
pubhcans came very near losing their
candidate. Topeka voters were dis.
satisfied and determined no longer to
serve their party without due recOg-
milton. The course had been advo-
Gated by the AMERICAN CITIZEN,
whose editor believes that the way to
obtain what you ask for is to stand
still until you get it.-Plaindealer.
Many Southern journals continu
ally reiterate the assertion that there
is no difference between Northern
and Southern sentiment as far as the
Afro American is concerned. They
forget that while the South was aglow
with oratory declaring that the 'Ne-
gro" had not shed his blood to make
this the land of the free, that the
good citizens of Boston were dedicat-
ing a monument to one of the first
who fell in our first struggles fol-

A SOLEMN, COMMERCIAL, AND
FINANCIAL FACT.

SAN0O 'o0U nAU AdAlI yluS 1uLCIColo IL
the Negro could be as instantly re-
moved as some ignorantly prejudiced
persons desire? We haye not far to
go for an answer. The closed mills
and starving operatives Of the Man
chester district in 1861'62, after the
blockade of the Southern seaports
had been established by the Federal
Navy, answers, and fully; also the
panic that ensued, and which brought
ruin to hundreds of merchants and
general paralysis to nearly every
branch of trade. Every man in the
East and in Europe, as we'll as this
country, who is old enough to re
member those days Of dread uncer-
tain, Of failure and ruin, can readily
realize the universal panic that
would ensue upon the removal Of ov-
er 100000 of an industrial popula~
ton whose places could not be sup
piled by white men and women work
ing in the cotton fields under tropical
suns and would not be by the Chi
nese. 1t is easy to cry out ''move
the Negro" it would be just as easy
to cry out "move a mountain" and
one is about as feasible as the other.
The Negro can not be moved. He
is the right hand of the planter, and
with all his sins of omission and
commission is the best labor the
planter has yet been able to find
The Chinese have been tried, and in
few places Portuguese and Italians,
but they soon succumbed to the eli
mate, the ennervating effects OF
which in the second year are invaria-
bly confessed in an irresistible Ian
guor by newcomers. The Negro can
not be moved. He is a solemn, com
mercial and financial fact. MEM

An Asylum Horror.

The United States will not be civil
lied nation as long as such scenes occur
as are said to be witnessed at the insane
asylum at Rochester, MINI. The sad
dest phase of the affair is that this
is not a private sanitarium, but the
state insane hospital of Minnesota. Weak
girls and women have been thrown to
the floor and stamped upon and pounded
with brutal fists. They have been shut
up in a cell naked, with no bedding, and
food refused to them till they were al
most famished. Such ferocious brutal
ity seems incredible. The insane require
in their treatment the utmost patience
and kindness that human nature is capa-
BILE of. They oftentimes, it is true, seem
so perverse and ugly that it is hard to
realize that they are at no time response
ble But only those who can constantly
realize this and act on it are fit to be
trusted with the care of the insane.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1889-07-10
Royal Paupers.

More sprigs of British royalty are to be
married, and more money is to be asked
for to support them. Albert Victor, son
of the Prince Of Wales, is to marry his
cousin Victoria, sister of the emperor Of
Germany. The pure and glorious blood
of the Georges will thus be kept carefully
in the family. Queen Victoria asks that
parliament grant the boy an allowance of
$4,000 before he is married, probably to
provide him with handkerchiefs and
neckties, and then an annual allowance
of $125,000 For the Prince of Wales
daughter Louise, the tall, lank young
woman who is to marry the Earl Of Fife,
her majesty modestly asks $15, 900 before
marriage and an annual allowance of
$3.50 afterwards.
Very modest requests these are. The
richest woman in the world asks the En-
glish people to take care of her numerous
grandchildren by grinding more taxes
out of the nation. The young people
have never done anything to deserve to
be taken care Of, but they are merely the
descendants of their grandmamma. This
burden grows heavier and heavier on the
English people, and some day they will
rise in their might and wrath and shake
the whole thing off.

The Half Cent Coin.

The American News Dealers associa-
ton will petition congress to establish a
half cent coinage On one cent papers
the dealers profit is only half cent, and
in many instances the half cent is lost
because there is no coin of this value.
An appreciable loss arises from this
source in the course Of a year. Forty
years ago there was half cent coin in
the country.
1t is favorite way in marking retail
goods Of all kinds to rate them in such
way that the half cent comes in, and in
every case it goes to the dealer. This
odd cent in large establishment GER
tainlv amounts to several dollars daily,
which the buyers lose and the seller
gains, for want of the half cent coin.
The infnitesimal divisions of industry
and retail supplies long ago made these
small coins a necessity in Europe. A
centime is the fifth of a cent. Switzer-
land has centime piece, Belgium two
centime piece. Germany has the pfennig,
equal to one-fourth of cent.
