adult negroes, accompanied by fifty or
more black children, went to the school
provided for the whites and forced them
selves into the places Of the white chill
dren. The account continues:
The white pupils protested, and began
to pack up their books and make prepare
tions TO leave. Some of the colored boys
grinned at the white girls, and as soon as
the negro men left the building
the white pupils assaulted the blacks
There was hard fight for fifteen min
utes, during which books inkstands,
rulers states and hair filed the air. The
whites finally drove the blacks out of the
room. chased them out of the yard, and
continued the fght In the street. The
white girls urged their champions on
with encouraging shouts, and brought
them munitions of war when possible
This is another example to show that
| when there Is q sufficient number OF
negroes to make acontest the race hatred
is just as pronounced in the North as II
the South. In view of this feeling, Of
which an honest and intelligent man can
not profess ignorance, would II not bs

fetal to the whites il the disreputablt

nation and excite the passions Of th'

One of the men who worked in the now
famous acid chambers, and who is still
living, said the other day that he heard
one of the foreman at the phosphate
works inquire for the Italian, Whiskey.
while the acid chamber was being cleaned
out last Tuesday The italian had been
cleaning off the bricks Of the flue when
ordered to go into the acid chamber.
After working his turn in the deadly
fumes, he returned to his former work n
another part Of the building. When
Whiskey's turn came again the foreman
inquired for him. When he learned
where the Italian was he went after him
and ordered him to 60 into the acis
chamber. Whiskey made some objection
and the foreman told him that If he did
not go into the acid chamber he could &c
home, that he could not do as he wanted

Just at present the organ at Whining
ton is endeavoring to stir up strife In
the Democratic party. What is the OBJ
iectf Briefly this; The Republican party
refused any application of the Australian
system because IL recognized the fact
that a majority Of the voters Of the state
to day are Democrats, and because under
the Austrian system there would be no
opportunity for manipulating voters. To
manipulate the voters the Republican
bosses of Wilmington undertook to buy
up blocks of tax receipts. In this scheme,
whatever else may be said of them, the
collectors refused to participate, Hence,
disappointed. nay, maddened. the man
damus proceedings of Apostle and Elk
ponent Of Republcanism. Higgins. For.
seeing that this as political dodge will
fail, they are now playing their last
card The stake Is this years elections
There is only this to say. Good Demo
Gratis cannot be either bamboozled or OK
cited by such tactics. Republicans
whether by birth, by education. by prac
tice, by mere profession or by sudden con
version, may rave and fume and blustel
and strut and swagger and swear as the,
please. The Democratic party is uni
aud will carry the elections this year il
