SINCE the decision of a Kansas Court granting large sum for wages earned to the colored woman who had lived twenty five years in igno. rance of the emancipation of hel race, some republican genius in the north rushes into print with the as tonlshing plea that the south owes the negro millions of dollars for ser vices rendered while in a state ol bondage. This unselfish CD phi lanthropist says nothing about the billions of dollars the south might just as reasonably clam from the north for the emancipation of her slave prosperity. As is we'll known the negro was imported to New Eng land as slaves and sold as such to the south for speculative purposes Their emancipation without the granting of any compensation what ever was an injustice to the slave owner who acquired his property legally by mourning large cash out lay. No, the south cannot possibly owe the negro more for labor perform ed before the war, than the north just as rightly owes the south for hei liberated slaves. So the account might as well be balanced on this basis.

DURING the proceedings of the United States senate recently the case of the hanging in effigy Of Sec retary of War Proctor at Aberdeen, Miss, was discussed at considerable length. It appears that the people of that place were very much incens ed at the neglect on the part of the secretary of war to display the flag at half mast at the war department building on the account of the death of Jefferson Davis, he (Davis) hay ing once been secretary of war. It appears also that man named Faunce by accident or otherwise, cut the rope by which the effigy was suspended and that thereupon he was attacked by mob and roughly handled. Both the hanging in effigy of the secretary of war and the yio- lent Treatment of Faunce were pro ceedlngs to be sincerely regretted, but they are not occurances that only take place in the south. Similar af fairs have recently taken place in the north. Not long since President Harrison was hanged in etfigy by an Indiana republican club. So was President Cleveland two years ago in Kansas. It is noticeable from the debate in the senate that the repub- lican members put great stress on the Aberdeen affair, but not once mentioned the Indiana case where their President was subjected to the grossest indignities and it certainly looks peculiar that they should have passed MT. Harrison's insult In deal. ing with this affair. Their neglect of the.President may be traced per haps to the fact that it occurred in the north and was administered by a republican club. It was not expect ed of course that the republicans would resent the insults to MT. Cleve. land. So far as all these occurrences are concerned the senate or the United States has no jurisdiction be- cause the acts are not violations of federal laws. All public officials of prominence are liable to insults, in. dignities and injustice Tn illustrated and other journals, at public meet ings and in various ways, yet the senate is powerless to punish the of lenders. Notwithstanding this fact the senate pretends to want to right wrong simply because it occurred In the south, aud because the repub- lican party hopes to manufacture political capital out of it.

FLUSHED with their success in capturing the lower house of con- gress, thing that has not happened Tn a number of years, the republi' cans, by their arbitrary methods and autocratic rulings, are paving the way for inglorious defeat at the next national election.

NOTHING definite has yet been done in the matter of the World Fair location. New York has come to the front with a proposed legisla- tive appropriation of ten million dollars. This in addition to the five million guarantee fund of New York citizens, would place that city in a condition rendering government aid unnecessary. This IS the big bid the metropolis hopes will win. The Chicago people have been urging immediate action but have been de- feated. Washington seems out of the race. The St. Lotus people are still hopeful. They claim that the contest is between St. Louis and New York. There is growing probability that the fair will not be held at all and it is almost certain ty that it will not be held until later than 1892.

CERTAINLY it can be no reflection on the characters of Miss Nellie By and Miss Bisland to say that they are very fast young women. Indeed, it is a good deal of a compliment to say of Miss By that she is faster then Miss Bisland. They left New York November If to make a journey around the world, Miss By travel. ing east and Mss Bisland west Miss By made the circuit in safety reaching the starting point in seven ty two days, SIX hours and eleven minutes. Estimating that she tray eled 24000 miles, this is at the rate of about 330 miles day or about fourteen miles an hour. It is rather a rapid rate to continue for two months aud half, and much faster than the trip of Jules Verne's cele- brated hero, Phineas Fogg. Miss Bisland arrived in New York Fri day, consuming seventy-six days sixteen hours and forty eight min. utes in making the trip.

preservation of an existing duty as if 1t were sacred stork. Of late years he has not been as prosperous as of yore. The struggle of life moves for him upon narrower and more dangerous margin, and he must count the cost of every thing he con sumes. It occurs to him that this cost is enhanced unnecessarily in great many instances by the re- tention of duties that long ago ceased to be protective, and he demands relief. This is the feeling every where. It is the talk of the streets and the drift of opinion in every little centre. It means political revolution, unless those in the lead of political action are wise enough to heed the signs of the times"

COMBINATION, coalition and organ ization seem to be the order of the day. The two greatest miners as. socistions of the United States have just consolidated. The association thus formed has 30,000 members, nearly all the miners in the States east of the Mississippi river. The object IS to secure higher wages and better the condition of those who dig for coal or iron. Never in the history of the world has there been such a:general tendency towards or ganization. How far it will result in good only the coming years will tell.

 "The question of tariff reduction is assuming first place in the thought and discussion of the people. They are thinking of 1t as they never did before, and they are beginning to be terribly Tn earnest. Up to this time it has been the farmer who saved the protective system from over throw.

TIE unlted States senate contiu

THE United States senate contiues to find it difficult to offer reason able excuse for refusing to instruct Superintendent Porter to include in his compilation of the next general census the number and amount of farm mortgages in this country. The republicans claim that to secure this information the census takers would be put to a great deal of trouble and such statistics would lumber mp the report to great de- gree. A census taker when he goes to farmer obtains the number of the family, where they were born, their ages, whether they are white or black, how many horses, cows, pigs and sheep and the like, how many acres in cultivation and how many not, together with fifty other questions which result In as many items to be compiled in the report. Suppose the census taker asks in addition how much the farm is mortgaged for, and adds the answer to the general census, how much time will it take and how much space in the report? It should be remember ed that as regards manufacturing industries hundred questions are asked favorable to the policy of pro
 teetion, and it should also be remem- bered that the answers are very willingly printed in the report, no matter to what extent they lumber it up. Yet upon this single subject of farm mortgages, which would be of great interest and value to the people, the Senate feels delicate about asking the question and print ing the answer. Republican senators do not want the farm mortgages shown up, because it will expose the true condition of the american farmer under the operation of the high tariff law. A census of these evil dences of debt would make start ling array of. figures which protec- tionists would have great difficulty in accounting for. Hence their op
 position to Senator Berry's prop osition and their united efforts to prevent the enquiry being made.
