JESUP'S RACE RIOT.
Atrocious Crimes That Should be 1
v~estigated by the Government.

AtrociOus Grimes That Should be In
~vestigated by the Government.
The accounts of the so-called ''race
riot" at Jesup, Ca, do not read very
differently from other affairs of the kind
that have happened in the South in re-
cent years. All the leading features
are the same. The creation of ''trouble"
by some unfortunate black, who was
probably the last citizen in town to wish
to give trouble; the gathering and
arming of the whites to resist an lat
tack" that is not even contemplated;
then the movement and assault upon
the negroes, who are chased with bull
lets and blows to the swamps, there to
be shot down as fast as they can be
found, or if they attempt to emerge
from their hiding-places; a few stray
Cling shots from the hunted quarry,
which haply strike down a couple OF
the p~ursuers; then wholesale ven
geanoe, slaughter and punishment
these are the points of the trace riot
that continues to remain an institution
existing only in the Southern States.
The question naturally arises: If the
dispatches sent to Northern newspapers,
one-sided as. they are, convey the slight
est idea of the atrocities visited on the
negroes, what sort of sentiment would
those atrocities arouse if they were de-
scribed in all their actual enormityP
According 10 the latest kilograms from
Jesup, three white men have fallen in
the present disturbance, while nearly
a score of blacks have been killed or
wounded. This is rather in excess OF
the usual average. AS q general thing
the casualties in a race riot" are at the
rate of about 40 to /, with the odds, OF
course, in favor Of the whites.
From whatever cause the fighting on
Christmas Day may have originated, the
acts of the vengeance-seeking whites on
the follQwingday were cruel ,devilish and
detestable beyond power Of description.
The most atrocious act Of all was the
deliberate murder of two defenseless
negroes who had been captured and

Trees to many persons are attractive
only when they are clothed with leaves,
and many people whose interest in them
is considerable do not notice those pc
culiarities which make it easy to recog-
nize one tree from another after the
leaves have fallen. But to the real
lover Of trees they are equally beanti-
full and interesting at all seasons of the
year; and no n can pretend to know

''The Light of the World"

hO
The above is the title of what Edwin
Arnold believes will be his greatest
poem. In it he takes up the character
and history of Christ, and treats them
with the method of subtle mysticism
which he employed in d~eaneating Budd-
ha in "The Light Of Asia"
In his quiet home among the Japanese
at Toxic Arnold has found the sur
roundings most congenial toa successful
portrayal Of the founder Of Christianity.
The poem will contain $500 lines, 1000
Of which the poet had already finished St
the beginning Of this summer. He will
revise it carefully, and expects it to be
In the hands of his London publishers by
Aug. 1. At the beginning of 1891 the
public will be favored with its first look
into the new book.
Purser Magee, of the steamer Belgic,
arrived in San Francisco from Japan not
long since, and gave to The Post OF that
city an interesting account OF the new
poem. Magee Is a friend Of Arnold, and
was allowed to read the work In manu-
script as far as it has progressed. Ar
nold's idea of the subject Of his poem is
that Of the Unitarians, that he was the
perfectly developed man. Magee. HIM

pressed their willingness to admit
our food products free, If we would
take the duty off their sugar; in the
face OF that proposition u congress
proposed to put sugar on the free list
without asking any concession In re-
turn. IL sugar was placed upon the
free list, he declared, the greatest re-
suits sought for and expected from
the international conference would be
sacrificed. He declared that 1t would
be the most inexcusable piece of folly
the Republicans were ever guilty Of,
and that the leaders In congress would
realize It before many months. If he
was In the senate, he said he would
fight it to the best Of his ability.

The day is not far distant when quails
will be preserved in every state in the
Union, and the privilege to shoot them
over a given territory will be paid for in
good sums. Indeed, there are already
established in this country quite a num-
Der of preserves where the right to shoot
is purchased. At present there is no
great necessity for preserves, as the
shooting is almost unlimited without it.
Still there are number of places where
thousands of acres are let to clubs, and
these furnish a man to patrol the
grounds occasionally, provide food, and
in bad weather suitable shelter for the
birds. The birds breed SO rapidly and
prosper 70 well under good treatment
that the fashion for quail preserves is
taking a firm hold, and in time will be.

The New Party.

A new party has been born. n
which is believed by it's leaders to
have bright prospects and that the
political power it is soon to WELD will
enable it to do much for the particu-
lar class which it represents; but some
of the apparent aims of the new ALI
ance party and some of its political
methods are such as in the opinion of
the writer will tend to stunt it's growth.
Until the birth of this new party,
and since the death of the old Know
Nothing party, we have not had in
this country any political organization
which sought in any manner to dis
criminate in favor of a particular
class, as against all other classes.
The Know-Nothings drew the line
between the foreign born and the
American born, and maintained that
the latter-merely because of nativi-
ty-should be the favored class.
The Alliance party, evidently be-
lieving that class distinction is all
right and proper, even in politics,
draws the line against all but the ag-
ricultural class, and of that class they
would exclude abby far the largest
portion-who are not members Of
it's organization.
This un-American spirit is shown
in several ways; in the nominations
it has made, in the platform recently
adopted, and even in it's state consti-
tuition, which latter absolutely for
bids the nominating by any of it's
congressional conventions of candi-
dates who are not farmers and mem
bers of the Alliance.
Now, the writer would like to know
what can be said against the old
Know:Nothing idea that cannot be
urged with equal force against this
new Alliance doctrine? Is n any
more illiberal and clannish than the
the other! Are farmers, because OF
their occupation, or an organization
to which they may belong, any better
qualified to fill office than are those
who follow other callings? Has the
Almighty put into the ground some
divine attribute which inspires those
who till the soil with a superiority in
integrity and ability over their fellow
men of other pursuits? Or has the
Alliance made such a special and
successful effort to cultivate the
brains of it's members that it now has
a right to claim for it's members all
those offices where much brains are
required
It has heretofore been the practice
of each of the many political parties
we have had in this country-with
the exception of the Know-Nothing
party-to invite all voters who be-
lieyed in it's principles and intended
to endorse it at the polls, to partici-
pate in the primaries and help decide
who should be it's candidates; but this
new party has adopted new and
peculiar methodist arrogates to but
a few of those whose votes it expects
to secure the right to say who shall
be it's nominees and what shall be it's
platform. Such narrow-guage ideas,
such un-American methods are not and
never have been popular in this coun-
try, and it is to be hoped they never
will be. Q. z.

The salt industry In South Kansas
is assuming majestic proportions. It
is said that the salt taken up at Wei.
lington In that state is the purest in
the world. A dozen great salt plants
are already IN operation and others
will soon be established. In north
middle Kansas there are extensive
marshes that yield the saline e1oresc-
ence In large quantities. In a few
years all the salt used for ordinary
purposes west Of the Mississippi river
will probably be supplied by Kansas.
