The suspension of the Dispatch can be
attributed TO two causes. First, it did
not deserve public support as news
paper, second. lack of money and brains

This comes from good authority as the

erring men have deep in their hearts, that
some day they will be fit to enter the presence
of their Creator. No one who has not ex-
perienced it. knows the sOulwithering eff
feet of long years of harsh. unforgving
treatment. There comes time when the
convict feels that he has suffered enough to
atone for his crime. This feeling may not
take the form of thought. but it will have
it's influence and he will feel that he is be-
ing prosecuted without cause. He feels
that his fellow-man is Furnishing him just
because he has the power to do so. He
feels that he is suffering innocently, and
comes to look upon the preaching of broth
erly love and forgiveness as only canting
sophstry, for he sees in himself the refuta-
ton of such doctrines. He becomes in
time dead to all the nObler impulses, and
then all the philanthropists in the

XeSHe Would.

Governor Merriam has pardoned j, Hal
Reid. of Minneapolis, who has served thr-
teen months of fifteen year sentence for
rape. The sentence was certainly too severe
for the offense. as It was generally believed
that he was not guilty of all that was
charged to him. He was however. very
fast young man and deserved few years
in the penitentiary on general principles.
We also believe that if he had been a poor
young man without influential relatives. he
would have served out his sentence.-TOdd

Of late we have received number of
communications that are full of bright,
original ideas, but so much slang is used in
their expression that we cannot publish

class of people who support our paper do
not want it. in fact they will not tolerate
it. The same thoughts could be much more
elegantly expressed in pure words, and
then would meet with the commentator

Some one, of course we do not know who
tried to play very lowdown trick on the
editor last week. This some one put into
the hands of poor, weak-minded brother,
clumsiy constructed plagiarism to be
handed to us thinking that we would pub
lish it, and thereby bring ridicule upon our
selves. Surely we have some among us
who are endowed with more meanness than
sense. In fact, the former is so dense that
it Overshadows the latter altogether.

SYSTEMS, NOT MEN.

There seems to be an impression in the
minds of few that our abuse of the con-
tract system is aimed at the contractors
personally. We have no grievance against
the contractors personally, especially those
who recently held the contract here. for we
were not oppressed by them. But this is
not saying we might not have been had the
state officials neglected, or been too weak to
protect us. The contractors are as other
men. no better. no worse. They. like our
selves. are looking for their own interests.
The contractors have no wish to injure us,
Cypress us-the greed of the human family;
that same constituencies greed which de-
MES poor women and children a just recon-
penSe for their labor, and sees their suffer-
ing without tremOr of shame. The state
is more to blame for the evils emanating
from the contract system than are the con-
tractors. The state acts the part of the
slave trader by throwing her captives on
the market. the contractors represent the
buyers.
1t is not the contract system as it has
been conducted here of late years that is to
be so much condemned. but what it may
become sometime in the future. should the
management fall into the hands of weak
or corruptible officials The system has no
compassion; it's rapacious appetite is al
ways crying, more work, more money:
faster, faster! and it is not in the power of
human strength to satisfy its demands.
The state officials are supposed to stand
between the convicts and oppression. and
they do to some extent. but it is too often
the case that the system is more powerful
than they, and contemptuously pushes them
aside. In some states this system has gained
such tight grip upon the prison that the
expressed will of the people cannot cast it
off: it rules the warden and the guards, and
says to them. do as [ say or get out Where
it cannot compel obedience it may buy it.
The half of its evils have never been put in
print. and if they were. people who had
not seen with their own eyes would not be-
lieve.
Theoretical penOlOgiStS read the laws gov
erning the contract system, and assuming
that they are strictly obeyed. pronounce it
good system. Practical penolOgists read
the laws. then visit the prison, and find
they are not, and will not be obeyed, and
they pronounce it pernicious SYSTEM
And thus is the disagreement of honest
disnterested men on this subject accounted
for.

ANOTHER KNOCK FROM NELSON.
The Freeman's Journal, Of Calves
ton, is doing good work for the indie
pendence of the colored people of the
south politically. On the one hand it
does not hold them as words of the re-
publican party and on the other
hand, it does not consider the republic
can party bound to carry them to the
detriment of the party politically.
The Freeman recognizes the right of
the colored man to vote either the
democratic or the republican ticket,
and would leave the republican adj
ministration free 10 recognize him as
a candidate for office, or not recognize
him as the case may be. The Free
man says:
There is a good deal of dissatisfaction
among colored politicians and their friends
at the slOwneSs Of the present administration
to recognize and reward the negro. In this
connection the Journal, would pertinently
ask, why this adm IniStratiOn Is under any
greater obligations to the negro race than any
OF the pr cedlng adminlstraLI' rs! Have they

not see that they nave, If they have accJm-
plIsh, as much During the campaign d very

President Harrison, a. eulOVzed the Cleve-
land administration, denounced the reDnbli-
can parry and its chosen standard bearers
and actively entered the field against the
ticket.
This extract begins very pointed
editorial on the question of the rela-
tons Of the colored office-seeker to
the republican administration, and
the editor, himself colored man. is
not at all mealy mouthed about ex-
pressing his opinions. He very caus-
tically reviews the condition of Texas
and asserts that il is the colored
voter who has prevented the nominal
ton of state ticket, and by this and
other acts has placed himself outside
of the pale Of administrative recogni-
ton. The Journal very trenchantly
says, speaking of the refusal of the
administration to endorse appiican is
for office who trade in politics:
The administration should be commended.
instead of condemned for this. No man
should be appointed TO Office VINO makes poll
tics a business, or makes Office holding MS su-
p.eme aim and object in life, and the journal
hopes all such will receive a cold shoulder
from the present administration, and men of
merit, character and BUS AGILITY reCOg-
nZed, regardless of color or nationality SO
long as they are staunCh republicans
THE LIGHT has no knowledge OF
some of the matters alleged by Mr..
Nelson of the Freeman, but it has
knowledge of this fact, that in the
COMPASSIONATE campaign for this dis
trict last fall the cOlored voters in the
only distinctively republican county
in the district went squarely back on
the nominee of the republican party
and rolled up the largest democratic
majority the county had ever given.
The Freeman's editorials are destined
to have effect, and there will be a
good deal of squirming over them in
certain quarters.
