The Negro In Demand.

The negro 10 the most prolific
theme in current literature and pol
itics. His question has more phases
than any one man can consider. No
sooner is o theory broached than
practice comes along and upsets IL,
The men who enfranchised the negro
would disfranchise him; those who at
first stoutly deolaimed against his
rights to the suffrage, stoutly oppose
every effort to disfranchise him.
The republicans proposed to colonize
the negroes in Hayti, the southern
democrats refused to part with him.
The negro appeals to the north
against southern bulldOzers, but
refuses to go away and live among
his northern friends. Some Of the
southern journals have appealed to
the north to take the "man and
brother to its bosom, but they
would not. The negro wanted every
thing, nobody up north wanted him,
except as republican voter. What
to do with him was the question, and
with those who love to speculate, it
will continue to be question. Be
it said to the credit OF the negro, that
he has taken less stock in the discus
sion than any one else, and has bided
his time with reasonable degree OF
patience. Now it appears that every
body wants the negroes. Mexico
has offered concessions to induce
them to reside in that republic, An
association is organized in Boston to
bring them to Massachusetts,, as sub
stitutes for incompetent and unrelia-
BILE white "help." In Madison par
ish, one of the richest cotton pro-
ducing parishes of Louisiana, an
organization has been formed to
Introduce more negro labor, paying
'h, expenses Of their transportation.
Population, black as we'll as white,
is distributing itself under laws
which are none the less laws
because we do not understand their
operation. The negro, like the white
man, is going where there is q
demand for his labor, and within the
limits of his ability there is no better
or more Doodle or faithful laborer
When we get back to the acceptance
of the old-fashioned idea that the
nation and society are not machines
wound up and left to run by them
selves, but controlled by o higher
than human agency, and spectators
and wiseacres refrain from hurrying
up the Almighty in the fulfillment of
his plans, there will be fewer prob
lens to worry over.-San Antonio
Express.

No Place Like The South.

The Hon. Ellison s. Keitt, in the
Southern Live Stock Journal, says:
''The cotton States of the United
States of America are now the best
part Of the earth's surface. In them
we have every variety of climate and
soil, and can produce any and every
thing to satisfy the needs and re-
fined taste of mankind. Out Of the
II, 900, 900 bales of cotton produced
in one year by all peoples, these
States grow 100000 bales which,
in the raw state, is worth $300,000,-
900, and goes into the commerce Of
nations and is added to the wealth Of
the world. Three or more out OF
every five bales has to be shipped
annually, at O great cost to the pro-
ducer, thosands of miles to foreign
land to find q market. All nations
are eager for the cotton from these
States, for when converted into
iabrics it's value is increased three or
four fold. Sagacious men are begin
ming to see the great advantage OF
bringing the mills to the cotton fields
over the shipment Of the cotton to the
mills; hence mills are springing up
all over these States. There has
been great change in this respect
during the last decade, and the tide
is pouring in. What the next de-
cade will accomplish no one can
tell.
These States have been greatly
blessed this year. Crops Of all kinds
have been unprecedented. The fruit
crop has been so large 1t could noi
be given away, and we were not pre-
pared to save it by canning. The
corn crop is 80 large there will be
surplus Of breadstuffs. The only
need we will have to buy is meat.
and this we can lessen by making all
we can out of the bogs. beeves and
sheep we have with the surplus grain.
It is earnestly hoped all the farmers
will firmly determine to hold the
position we have and move on. To
do so they must put in ample acre
age Of small grain well prepared, and
increases their stock OF hogs, cattle
and sheep, and, above all things,
each farmer should have OF least one
brood mare"

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular Correspondent

(From our regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON d. G. Dec. 23, 1885,
Mr.. Blaine's boom for the presi-
Dental nomination in 1892 may be
considered as having already started.
The rest of the house committees
were announced just previous to the
q ljournment for the holiday recess
by Speaker Reed.
The fact was brought out in dis
cussion in the senate on bill to in
crease the compensation Of certain
officials to be employed by the CEN
sus bureau, that all the reports OF the
last-1880-census hid not yet been
printed. The senators were also
unanimous in declaring the statistics
Of the last census to be inaccurate
and worthless. Taking the census is
q useless expense unless tie statistics
gathered are trustworthy and the re-
ports are more promptly published.
Better things are promised of the one
10 be taken next year.
Senator Morgan's joint resolution
for the recognition of Brazils new
government failed in the senate be-
cause Of the absence Of q quorum.
He will call it up again after the hol-
iday recess, and it will be passed.
The money that Silcott left in the
safe OF the sergeant-at-arms, because
he couldn't get at it, about 1886, 900,
has by resolution Of the house, been
deposited with the treasurer of the
United States until it is determined
what to do with it. An indictment
with 112 counts has been found
against Silcott by the grand jury,
but Silcott hasn't been found.
The enormous quantity Of bills in
troduced in congress last week-more
than 1,500--has excited comment
here, and momentarily called atten-
ton to the great waste Of money
printing the wild cat or crank bills,
which form large percentage of
those introduced. It would he
good idea for both houses to create
the position Of managing editor,
whose duties shall be to pass on all
bills before they are introduced and
throw out the worthless ones. It
would save Uncle Sam several hun
dred thousand Of dollars every year.
The house is to have chance of
deciding whether it believes the va-
rious ugly charges made at various
times against the civil service com.
mission should be investigated, as it
will have to vote on Representative
Ewart's resolution authorizing the
house committee on reform in the
civil service to investigate on these
charges. 1t is almost certain that
the resolution will be passed, and it
is equally as certain that some of the
charges will be proven.
Ex.Speaker Carlisle does not be-
lieve the republicans OF the house
will attempt to adopt rule giving
the speaker authority to declare
quorum present whenever the requi-
site number of members IRE in the
house, whether those present vote or
not, as some republicans have stated
they would. Mr.. Carlisle says such
D rule would be clearly unconstitu-
tloDal, and that he would fight 1t by
every means in his power before al
owing it to be adopted by the house,
md if defeated he would carry it to
the courts.
Justice Brewers and lot OF other
nomi mons were confirmed by the
senate before the recess. There were
II votes against the confirmation Of
Brewer.
