That human nature is just the same
whether hidden under white or black
skin has been strikingly exemplitied
within the present week. On last Tues
day in fit of jealousy James F. Belks,
near Vicksburg, Miss, planter, shot
and killed his mistress, young Colored
girl, and then killed her mother, who
attempted to shield the girl. About the
same time time in Jacksonville, ILL.,,
Miss Fannie Keener, handsome
wealthy young white woman, was shot
and fatally wounded by Nathan Faster,
her Colored coachman, for whom she
had shown considerable affection. Of
late she had neglected him and trans
ferred the wealth of her affection to a
Young white man named Bancroft. Pas
ter had been away to Iowa, and on his
return found the two together and
opened fire wounding Bancroft twice.

Matrimonial.

Miss frankie M. johnson, recog-
nized Belle in Colored society, and a
member Of the choir ct Quinn Chapel
was united in marriage New Years eve,
at the residence of her mother, Mrs. NJ.
Woodward, 1857 Dearborn street, to Mr..
Charles E. Mitchell. The Rev. Jenlfer
of Quinn Chapel was the officiating
clergyman. Miss Mamie Maxwell was
bridesmaid and Mr.. c. Saunders was
groomsman on the interesting occasion.
The wedding was an elegant, but very
quiet affair; none but near relatives and
few invited guests participating. The
happy couple after receiving congratula-
tons took the P. NJ. train the same
evening fo1 their home at Tacoma,
Washington, accompanied by the best
wishes of their many friends, and the
bride never appeared to better advan-
tage than in her elegant travelling Co.'S
tune.

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE CONVENTION. :

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE CONVENTION.
Next week the National Conven-
ton Of the Atro-American League meets
lin Chicago, pursuant to the call of Mr..
Z. Thomas Fortune. There have been
numerous National Conventions of Col
ored men held at different times since
the war, looking toward the improve
ment of their condition in this great
country leach one of which, effected some
good. The eyes of the whole country are
now turned toward the coming meeting.
and the prayers of all classes,
who are honestly in favor of a
change for the better in the con-
di,ion of the Colored people, are that
the outcome may be greater from this
convention than from any former ef-
fort. There has been such general
answer to this call from every section of
the United States and there seems to be
such oneness of purpose, in referece
to the object sought for, that there
seems to be good grounds for the belief
that much good will be accomplished.
That the Colored people themselves must
| bring about the needed change of af-
| fairs is generally conceded and that they
seem to be fully aware of this fact is evi-
| denced in this movement. It is gener-
ally understood that this meeting has
no political significance, and that poll
tics is to have no part therein. This is
movement inaugurated by the yonng
err and more progressive elements of the
| Colered people, and the convention
will be composed mainly from the men
of this class. A very large atte1dence
is expected, and so far as we can learn
at this writing the delegates have been
| selected with the utmost care
all the ordinary considerations which
usually govern communicate such
cases, have been laid aside, and
only such men as are pre-em-
inently qualified and fitted for the work
| in view have been chosen. That the
time is ripe for a movement of this
| kind to do effective work is patent to the
most obtuse; and if personal agrandize-
! ment, selfish aims, unless technicalities.
politics, sectional differences, and bonn
| bast, the usual stumbling blocks, are
cleared away, much good will be done.
| May God in His infinite wisdom direct
the deliberations Of the convention
/ that much good and no harm be done,

THE THIN GUlsE OF TARIFF REFORM,

THE THIN GUISE OF TARIFF REFORM,
The result of last years election seems
to have convinced the free trade attor-
neys that they could not bring the mass
of American voters to the support of
that policy so long as these voters fully
comprehend what they were asked to
aid in bringing about. That much
Wanted measure, the Mills bill, which
came short of meeting the views Of the
most conservative opponents of Protec-
ton, by reason of concessions to certain
Congressman whose votes were needed
for it's passage, was spurned at the polls
by unmistakable majorities. The ad-
ministration backing that measure
shared it's fate, while it's more obscure
supporters received lesson they seem
not to have entirely forgotten. Without
relinquishing their object, they have
somewhat changed their tactics. For
hidden the privilege of blotting out our
tariff laws, they now come asking that
they be allowed to reform" where they
may not repeal-that they be given half
the Protection loaf so long as they are
not to be permitted to devour the whole
of it.
There is, however, just as little room
for misunderstanding present tactics as
those of year ago. He who listens
may hear between the shouts for tariff
reform" the muffled demand for free
foreign trade. He need but glance at
the leaders of the reform" crusade
the men who are reprinting and repeat
ing the familiar arguments of year
ago-to comprehend their ultimate aim.
The same honorary members of the
Golden Club, the same orators who
have never lost an opportunity to de-
dounce as robbery the policy inaugu-
rated by the founders of the republic
and supported by long list of states
men whose names shine out in the his.
tory of our nations century of progress
these are the men now leading the
flank movement for overthrow of the
Protective policy under the cloak Of
tstariff reform" Without an exception
they will be found to insist that nothing
is in the line of reform except repeal or
reduction. Every suggestion in behalf
OF legislation favoring the industry OF
this country rather than those of other
lands, finds in the reform ranks a
opponent charged with arguments Dor.
rowel from the literature of foreign
writer's, and much of it printed abroad
and sent here for distribution.
The known sentiments of the men
now conspicuous in bringing into camp
those fighters who were latelo STAN
peded in the free trade fight-the re-
cords Of others known to be their aset-
tors-should be sufficient warning to all
who are not willing to aid in exposing
the business enterprises of this country
to the results of free foreign trade.
That such is the object Of those leaders
now masquerading under the tanner Of
.'tariff reform" there need not be a
shadow ofdoubt.
