nal eloQuence, is obliged to quote from
Father Matthew. This poeticai eloQuence
sounds very well, coming as it did from
the lips of philanthropist (who was not

but it is poor stumping for the present
issue. Ii FerrOn is an Irishman and a
Catholic, he ought not to make cats-paw
OF his religion to assist a man who voted
against u resolution of sympathy with
suffering Ireland. He further says there
will surely be bright reward for all who
prevent and help to decrease the bitter
feuds, which for every reason ought to be
buried in oblivion.
The Catholics have nothing to bury.

Cleveland and the Campaign.


Memphis Avalanche Nov lst.
Ex-President Cleveland, in an in
terview yesterday with a correspond
ent Of the Albany Argus, made an al.
lusion to his failure to take an active
part i'll the present campaign.
He reiterates, in his usual direct
and forcble fashion, his belief in tar
lfP reform and expresses deep inter
est in the coming congressional cleo
tions, but fails to say just why he has
not accepted any Of the numerous in
vitations TO speak in public which
have been rendered him.
No doubt he has good reasons for
refusal. But we are obliged to believe
that if Mr.. Cleveland had taken an ac-
tive and prominent part in the cam
paign now about to close, the chances
in favor OF Democratic control of the
next House would be vastly greater
than they are. The mere fact of his
appearance, let us say, in McKinley's
or Breckinridge's district, even if he
had contented himself with mere
bow to the audience which would have
assembled to meet him, would have
have had n wonderfully stimulating
effect.
While Mr.. Cleveland was by no
means she first 10 argue the necessity
for tariff reform, he is justly regarded
as the father OF the present movement
in that direction. He had the courage
to make it an issue. He stakes his
own political future future upon it.
He is to-day the embodiment OF q
great idea-the idea of unshackled
trade and economy in the administra-
ton of public affairs.
Cleveland will be the Democratic
nominee for President in 1892 as sure
ly MS he lives. Hecould not 60 further
than he has gone in the direction OF
tariff reform. No risk was to be run
by the party, and no dignity would be
, lost by his active participation in the
present canvass, and we reiterate it,
| that his failure to do SO is matter for
+. deep regret.

She feels that she is fast leaving her

reason why woman should be faded

cause of the carly fading OF American

FRED DUoLAss SPEAKS.
Discusses the Race Question and
Denounoes the Whites Of the
South as Lawless Rufflans.
ETC., and Favors Inter-
marriage.

WASHINGTON, Oct, pa meeting
OF the Bethel Literary and Historical
Association was held at the Metropoli.
tan church in this city last night.
The feature OF the meeting was an
elaborate address by Fred Douglass,
in which he discussed the race prob.
lem. He deplored the failure Of Con.
gress to pass the Blair educational
and Federal election bill.
In discussing the race question,
Douglass said "The true problem is
not the negro, but the nation, not the
law-abiding blacks of the South, but
the whites Of that section who, by
fraud, yiolance and persecution, are
breaking the law, trampling on the
constitution, corrupting the ballot.
box and defeating the ends OF Justice.
The true problem is, whether these
white ruffians shall be allowed by the
nation to go on in their lawless and
neiarious career, dishonoring the gov
ernment and making its very name
a mockery, The government made
the negro citizen and a soldier, but
would it protect him as suchH This"
he sand, was the problem 'or the ma
ton more than for the negro"
Continuing, Douglass said that the
South neither feared the ignorance OF
the negro nor his supremacy. 1t was
not the negro, but the intelligent
North it feared,
He had noticed, he said, while at
his post in Hayti, that even the SEN
ate had been compelled to listen to
learned disquisition upon the sub
ject OF race intermarriage from the lips
of the eloquent Senator from Kansas
(Gngalls.) When the Senator was
right, said Douglass, he was very
right, and when wrong he was very
wrong. In that instance he happened
to be not only wrong, but very wrong.
His argument against the admixture
OF the races was narrow and unsound,
and he not only contradicted the
facts and science Of the case, but con.
tradicted himself.

In MemorIam.

/
Our much beloved friend, Mrs. o..
tavia Wofford, wife of Maj, ]. L. Wof
ford, for a long time a citizen of this
place, died at her home in Johnson
City, Tenn, on the 9th day Of 0cto,
Der, 1890.
1t is with a sad heart that we under.
take to write an obituary for so Iowa.
BILE character as Mrs. Wolford. No
community, no State, indeed, no peo-
pie could well afford to bear such a
loss, Early in life Mrs, WofIord ex-
pressed desire to do active Christian
work. This desire was supported by
one Of the strongest intellects that we
have ever known. Her natural mind,
her culture, her wonderful nerve, and
her determination to succeed in what
ever she undertook, rendered her a
most valuable lady in the church, in
society, and in the home circle. Mrs,
Wofford had few superiors as a writer.
She was for many years Correspond
ing Secretary for the Ladies' State
Mission Board OF Mississippi, and was
also regular contributor to the lead.
ing literary journals OF the South.
She was also a great help'mate to her
husband in editing his papers, he hav-
ing published for many years a daily
and weekly paper in this State. 1t is
fact well known by the writer that
Mrs W. was, during her citizenship in
this place, the chosen critic by the
majority of those who wrote articles
for publication, it being their custom
to have her modify and correct their
products before presenting them for
publication. The Corinthians had al
ready been made to feel the loss of
Mrs. W. from their midst, yet we had
vainly hoped that she would at some
future time return to our city and
make it her home again. But now
that the Father who dwells where
sweet peace is never ending, has taken
her from earth to heaven, and we
must say fare thee well, our gentle,
loving frierd; we are permitted to
meet thee in this world no more.
Thanks be to God, il we emulate the
examples you set before us while on
earth, We may be permitted to meet
beyond the riv,r. To the griefstrick-
en- husband we would say, mourn not
she has served thee well. For forty
years she stood by your side, ever
pointing you to fame on earth, and to
an eternal home in heaven. To the
bereaved children we would say, for
get not the God Of your mother; re-
member to whom she ever looked in
her hours OF sadness. 1t mattered not
lin war or in peace, in prosperity or
adversity-her heart was never trou-
bled, for she knew che loved her God
and at His own good time He would
roll away the cloud and let the re.
splendency of His love shine upon her
life again. A FRIEND.
