history of The Clayton case to justify the
charge that Clayton's death was due to po-
litical assassination That may be, but the
belief obtains nevertheless, and it is very
freely uttered that Clayton fell victim to
political enmity and the weapon of the
political assassin. Mr.. Jones points out
that even if the ballots in the box de-
stroyed at Plummerville were all counted
for Clayton, Breckenridge would still have
had $50 majority and that as this fact was
known, Breckinridges friends had no rea-
son to kill Clayton. Admitting this
| to be so, still it was known that the pur-
pose of Clayton's visit to Plummer-
vile was to secure testimony concern
ing the theft and destruction of the ballot
box, and ii was in the interest of those
criminally concerned in that direction to
put stop to his investigations in his con-
test for seat in the House of Representa-
tives. The outrage upon the ballot box is
not denied by any one, and it is therefore a
justifiable conclusion that CIaytons murder
was part of the same damnable business
Mr.. Jones admits as much. He cannot
therefore logically object to the conclusion
that the murder was political one. 1t il
not in proof that Mr. Breckenridge was Al
all chargeable with it, nor are we disposed
to believe that there ever will be any such
evidence. As Senator Jones says, gooG
name should have the protection of thu
assumption of the innocence of its bearer
and the character of Mr.. Breckenridge has
certainly stood very high. But this is fact
that the ease with which the ballot-box il
the South, and notably in Arkansas, can b,
trided with, lies at the bottom of the Who'll,
affair; that in turn, is due to the intoleran
sentiment in politics in the South. 1t i
true that such outrages are sometimes com
mitted at the North, but they are sporadic
cases. and never are condoned or locke,
upon with complacency. 1t cannot wei
be denied that the same order of crimes a
the South, when directed against Republi
cans, excite very little interest in the loca
conscience.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

1t is evident from activities that i'll
conceal their purpose and their animosity
to its head, that desperate, apparently
adroit and concerted effort is being made
to defeat the Republican city ticket next
Tuesday. There has not in years been
presented better ticket. If tried ability.
good citizenship, character under the test
of lifelong association with the people, are
of any value whatever in estimating trust.
worthiness, then the Republican ticket is
head and shoulders above any opposition
that can be or is developed againstit. 1t is
led by John Stevens, whose life is an exam
pie to all men. If he cannot be trusted in
the municipal councils to do wisely and
well by all interests, and to deal fairly,
impartially with all then there are
none in whom trust can be re-
posed. One other of the nominees
is new to the ticket. He, too is citizen
above reproach, clean in his life, hard
working mechanic, who knows what hon.
est labor is, and what its due reward. All
the other candidates have been tried and
proved faithful and competent. Al, these
men are loyal to the principles that under
lie the Republican party. and hence the
appeal is strong to party men to stand by
them. But above and beyond that, since
We hold that in municipal affairs compe-
tency and trustworthiness stand foremost.
the ticket is thoroughly representative,
thoroughly reliable, and promises to the
city all that worth and ability and even
handed justice can stand for. Citizens
sh luld not be led astray by seeming agita-
tons. The questions for them to settle in
their minds are, "Can the Republican nom
inees be trusted to we'll administer munic-
ipal affairs? To fairly judge between the
people? To abide by and enforce the laws !?
To conserve the best interests of the city
and all the citizens?" There can be no
negative response to these self.interroga-
tons by the thinking man

JUDGE TouReEr, in a paper on THE

Claim of Realism" says:
The American novelist has always been NOR
tally afraid of International criticism, and, in
stead of being encouraged TO follow the lead of
bis own inclination, he began at once 10 try to
borrow an approved pattern for his work. These
great underlying impulses which really give
character to the American people, and ought,
therefore, to have given the keynote TO our con-
temporary fiction-these he cast aside and be-
gan to study the trepidations, doubts, uncertain
ties, embarrassments and gaucherieS of the after
noon call or the evening 'full dress rehearsal"
and to call this not only life, but the only aud
exclusive life that fiction is permitted to depict
Judge Tourgee is right, The American
novelist" with very few exceptions is
not the American novelist, because he has
either flown to Europe for his types. or
adopted models at home that are not typi
cal. As Tourgee puts it above our writers
of fiction have seldom got down into the
American system and counted the heart
beats of the underlying impulses" that
give momentum to American thought and
civilization. For the matter of that, but
very few, in or out of literature, go below
the surface in estimating American char
acter and Americanism-so to speak. We
are content to treat of the present to oper-
rate upon the surface, and fail to 60 into
the depths where lies the power of Ameri-
can life, thought and progress and destiny.
The Judge cites as striking instance of
the truth he breaches, that though a quar-
ter of century has elapsed since the civil
war; no writer of fiction has yet presented
work which touches the quick of that
epoch, or has correctly drawn or given true
color to the picture that can be, and some
time must be, painted of that era.

If there was an authoritative dispatch on
the subject, we might be justified in now
expecting war with Germany. But the
dispatch from Breslau credits the story of
the sinking of an American man of-war by
German ship-of war, to a newspaper of
that city. If the Breslau paper had such
news it is to be taken as certain that the
press of Berlin would also have been ad-
vised of the facts. The alleged news could
only have come by way of wire from Auck.
land How is it then that only Breslau
paper got possession of the important fact?
While it is possible that the enterprise of
Breslau may have outstripped that of Ber-
lin journalism, we are disposed to disbe-
lieve it. The German press has not been
distinguished for that kind of energy that
gives to any paper exclusively such news
as that alleged to have been received from
Samoa

TAKING CARE OF ITSELF.

A Southern paper shouts loudly to the
Inter Ocean to cease troubling about the
wrongs OF the negro in the South and at
tend to the White Caps" at the North. 1t
ADDS: I'VE can take care of ourselves"
Whereat the Inter Ocean shouts back in
loaded columns: why don't you do it,
then?" That is the question, and it covers
the whole subject matter. The South does
not take care of itself-it is too busy pre-
venting negro voters from taking care of
themselves politically, and as result both
deplorably suffer. The White Caps" do
not represent the prevailing social condi-
ton in either of the two States where they
have appeared, nor are they in any sense
political. But intimidation of voters, vote
repression and suppression are things that
at the South reflect both social and polit-
ical dominating sentiment-the first not
opposed as is the latter to the law. The
Southern States. as well as the Northern
by compact are pledged to maintain
republican forms of government, to
make them something more than
forms-to give the people, and all
the people the benefits of such government
in the full and broad sense of the term
civil, religious and political liberty. The
Southern State that fails to protect, nav.
insure the colored citizen in his right to
vote freely and without hindrance of any
kind and in his right to have that vote
counted as he cast it, fails to keep its COM
pact with the States of the Union. The
White Cap outrages at the North are
neither condoned nor winked at. They
are crimes and nothing less, and are con-
demned and listed as such and prices are
put upon the liberties of the perpetrators.
They are phenomenal and sporadic crimes
bearing no relation whatever to the politi-
cal system of any State. The bulldozers
and browbeaters at the South, the men who
COW the colored voter and negative his
right to be heard in the public forum OF
the ballot-box are not locally esteemed
criminals, they are neither denounced nor
their ofienses ranked as crimes. When the
South suppresses the intimidator and
bulldozer, and gives the negro voter as
full and fair opportunity to be heard
through the ballot-box as his white COM
petitor, then and not till then will the
South be able to :" take care of ITSELF As
things now ale it is not doing so.

Rabbit Skins.

An English paper says that the magni-
tude of the rabbit pest in Australia and
New Zealand may be estimated from the
fact that up to the present time 10000, 00O
rabbit skins have been exported from New
Zealand alone. The destruction necessary
to secure these skins has not perceptibly
lessened the number of rabbits. They
swarm over Australia and New Zealand
rendering agriculture a great burden.

WASHINGTON GLADDEN. says, in the North
1merican ReUiew, that the usefulness of the
churches would be greatly increased if they
would frequently consult together respect
ing the work to be done in the field which
they occupy in common. That is true OF
all associations of men for good purposes
1t is only very recently that the truth was
driven into and fastened upon the chart
table societies; now they act in harmony,
according to the associated charities" sys-
tenn. The result is that, in the great GEN.
tiers of population at least, imposition upon
the charitable societies has almost ceased,
because the various organizations are cog
infant of the experiences of each other, and
because by association the proper field for
each is well defined. There is. therefore,
no more wasting of effort, no more dupli-
cation of aid, no probability of the impos-
lures that were once so common. The
confraternal societies might consult to-
gether to mutual advantage, as we'll as
churches and charities. Their field is COM
mon, their cause also, and by closer rela-
tionship they can augment the individual
strength of each order.

The Dakotas, it may be confidently as
sumed, will go Republican at the first
election for Congressman, and their
Legislatures, If any doubt has been enter
tanned about North Dakotas political COM
plexion, it is now removed by the mo-
mentum President Harrison's wise inaug-
ural has given to Republican sentiment.
Montana, it is conceded, will be strongly
Republican. If we assume that Washing
ton will go Democratic, though that is not
by any means foregone conclusion, we
can forecast the complexion of the next
Congress. There will be net addition of
two to the Republican majority in the Sem
ate, and of three to the Republican strength
of the House of Representatives. The
result, while but light in its effect at first,
must to some extent injuriously affect the
strength of the Northern Atlantic States in
the National Legislature, and at not far
distant day will materially reduce the po-
litical influence of even New York in the
Electoral College. 1t is altogether likely,
after the census of 1890 is taken and the
new apportionment made, that New York
will be so reduced in value in the Elec-
toral College that she may not be deemed
necessary to the success of the Republican
party.
