reaching the upper register or their scores,

abont his attitude with respect to the
proposal that elections IN the negro belt
shall be regulated and supervised by Fed
eral power, this extract from his speech !,
as senator from Indiana, upon the
Blair bin ought to dissipate it:
Mr.. President, am one of those who feel that
the eolored race in the South since the war has
been subjected to indignities, cruelties outrages
and repression of rights such as find no
parallel in the history of civilization. have
read with horror the authenticated stories of the
cruelties which have been visited upon this do
Gle, kindly and inoffensive race. I have looked
hopefully in the old times to the forcible inter-
vention Of the general government in their de-
Tense.
have thought that It might be possible under
that stringent legislation which congress adopt
ed by the forcible intervention of the Federal
authority, protect them in those rights of which
they are so cruelty deprived. But l have ceased
to have faith in the possibility of that interven-
ton in their behalf constituted as this govern
ment is, with its complex organization of Federal
ana state governments, independent within GER
tain limitations. In the states and the tribunals
which they establish and in the venue where the
offences committed crimes against the col
ored people must be tried. OF necessity the sue
cessful vindication of the rights of these people
fails unless there is sentfn. at in the locality
where the offences are to be examined into and
punished that reprobates and condemns them.
Mr.. President, for one believe there exists
to-day in the Southern states condition of
things that sadly needs to be remedied I do
not see how it can be remedied by the interven-
ton of the Federal authority. look to two
great agencies alone to elevate the colored race
to an equality with their white brethren who
dwell with them, to secure them in their just
rights and to eqnip them properly, as we must
admit they have not hitherto been equipped. to
understand the duties of citizenship and to dis
charge these duties inte1ligently 1 look
to two great agencies-the force of
pnblic opinion and education within
the states. believe there are no other efficient
agencies. believe the only method by which
the colored man can be led up to a manhood
which viii claim and which will not be denied
full and equal rights citizen in all the South
ern states is this process eff education.
Holding these views, Mr.. President, am sim
cere1y solicitous that Federal aid shall be ex-
tended to the states in such way that the kindly
impulses of that increasing body of Southern
men who show kindly disposition toward the
elevation of the colored man shall be recognized
and encouraged.

strietest precautions are taken to pre-
vent liability TO such annoyanees. Every
newspaper of responsibility stands ready
to make such reparation inits columns as
can reasonably be asked for the moment
it can be shown that injury has wrong
fully been done. A retraction through
the columns of the paper is mortifying TO
the management of the paper and al
connected with it. In many eases the
management would prefer paying money
and keeping the mistake quiet, but for
the sense of Justice and honor that will
not permit an unintentional wrong TO go
unrighted.
1t may be claimed that such change
in the law would leave the individual
without protection against the attacks Of
sensational and irresponsible papers.
Not at all. Every protect now af-
forded by the laws in such cases would
still exist. What protection is there
now? The sensational, scandal mongeT-
ing and irresponsible papers make reek-
less assaults upon personal character
and public morality now and nobody
NEEDLES with them, simply because they
are irresponsible and have no
fears of libel suit, whilst the re-
spectacle paper is threatened or actually
sued every now and then for the innO-
cent publication of legitimate news be-
cause there happens to be a single bit of
mistaken information in the dispatch or
local story.
Protect the reputable and careful news
paper in the publication of legitimate
matter and put stronger safeguards, if
necessary, for the protection of mdivid-
uals against reckless and malicious as
saults By the press.

HARRISON ON FEDERAL INTER
FERENCE

The impression exists throughout the
South, on account of the hostile attitude
of certain elements of the Republican
party, that it will adopt radical and
coercive policy toward the states in the
negro belt when it is restored, after
March 4 to full power IN national af-
fairs. There are sound reasons for the
belief that this expectation is not well
grounded, and that, on the contrary :,
there will be as little of sectionalism in
Gen. Harrison IS administration as there
was under Arthur, or would have been I'M
der Garfield. The presence of Mr.. Blaine
in the cabinet viii be strong assurance
that the administration will not concern
itself with purely sectional issues. What
ever may have been the faults and fol-
lies OF Mr.. Blaine S career, it is but just
to say of HIM that he has never lent his
aid TO retaliatory legislation of a domes-
tic nature. On the contrary he mani
tested genuine and practical sympathy
with the South when it was attempted to
re-establish military rule after the dis
covery that the whites could not be DOM
mated by the blacks. Mr.. Blaine's am
billions and purposes pattern after the
European rather than the American
idea. He would make Federal politics a
game between nations, instead of game
between states. He conceives this coun-
try to be a nation, not merely in
the sense of Federal sovereignty,
but in the sense that it is a
unit upon the checker board of the world.
It follows as natural consequence that
his influence in the cabinet will be cast. in
favor of national administration de-
voted chiefly to international policies.
The South has nothing to fear from Mr..
Blame.
The character and training of Gen.
Harrison do not qualify him for the exc
eution of the plans of fanatlcism of any
sort. BY nature he is an ultra-conserva
tive; by doctrine an old-line Wing. A
disciple of Henry Clay is not likely to
lead an assault upon principles
promulgated IN the constitution,
sanctioned by Washington and Adams
and reafhrmed by Republican supreme
court He is. however, his own best in
terpreter. If there were any doubt

This is the North.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

In this morning IS Enquirer is told the
story of the maltreatment of woman by
White Caps, SO revolving in every detail
as to hide the faults of the victim ) life
and to cover the perpetrators with in
fanny. 1t shows the utter shallowness of
the Wanted investigation made by the
Indiana authorities, and proves without
n doubt that White Capism not only ex-
lists in that state, but fiourishes. What
ever may have been the woman s sins, or
how deep the depths to which she had
fallen, there can be no excuse for such
proceedings. That such treatment be
meted out to man is bad enough, but
when a woman is rudely awakened by
armed and disguised men, dragged from
her bed, has her clothing torn off and she
is exposed to the gaze and jibes of all
then is it, indeed, time that steps be
taken to put down such work. That the
morals of any nelghborhood of people
can be purified by such immortality is the
height of absurdity.

4 PLEA P0R INVESTIGATION

The Cleburne Enterprise, objecting to
the suggestion of THE GAZETTE that
committee to investigate the railroads be
appointed instead of commission to
manage them, says that t'such a COM
mittee would be powerless. 1t could not
compel railroads to expose their business
and could only secure such information
as the officials should choose to give.
Asa matter of plain and simple reason
ing, if the state of Texas has not the
right to look at the books of the railroads
it certainly has not the power to usurp
their entire control with respect to
state traffic. The Enterprise claims
privilege for the railroads to
which they are not properly or
legally entitled. The state has
the right to inquire into every detail of
railroad management, to examine every
official of railroad Incorporated in
Texas, and TO inspect every book belong
ing to a railroad corporation. The En-
terprise continues:
''The people of Texas are friendly to railroads
and only desire to see their determinations and
improper practices put an end to. If a commits
sion is the only way to do this. there will be a
commission sooner Or later
A just conclusion. But how are the
people of Texas to learn of the "discrim-
ination and improper practices of the
railroads without an investigation of the
nature proposed by THE GAZETTE?
Are they to accept the dictum
of politicians based upon generalities that
must leave the public mind wholly at sea?
Is the Enterprise prepared to make out
bill of specifications against the railroads
which it deems of sufficient gravity to
require the creation of commission? If
so, the Enterprise will render valued as
to the friends of the bill by pub
fishing it at once.
It is true that clamor has been raised
in Texas against railroads, though it is
not so formidable as a great many poll
ticians suppose. So far every as
pirant who has hitched his wagon
to this hobby has had occasion
10 regret II; yet constant agltatlon fright
ems capital and paralyzes development.
THE GAZETTE s idea looks to the re-
movaI of the railroad issue from the
domain of politics and putting it upon
business basis where every intelligent
man can understand it. Then the peo-
pie will know the precise value of COM
plants against the railroads, and they
can determine for themselves the best
remedies for whatever evils may exist.
Is it possible that there are politicians
IN Texas who do not want the railroad
question iudieially investigated and the
people enlightened, who hope to thrive
on popular prejudiees, and see in an I'M
settled railroad problem an amending and |
fruitful source of agitation?

OMNIBUS BILL. :"

CoTToNDALE, Feb. Is, 1889.
To the Gazette.
4 What is meant by Omnibus as
applied to certain bill pending in congress?
The term is derived from the Latin
word signifylng all. An omnibus carries
many people, and an omnibus bill is one
carrying many subjects. AS congress
draws to its close it is often found expe-
dent to prepare an omnibus bill or one
with capaciousness to meet the demand.
Such omnibus bill may comprise miscel-
laneous features and carry everything, so
to speak, but sometimes bill that deals
with several yet cognate subjects is popu-
larry termed an omnibus bill. The ad-
mission of four states by one bill was so
called.
