A Voice from Ohio.

call for a convention of colored people
to meet at Springfield, o., on Aug. 90 is an
indication that they are at last beginning
to realize that the price of their enancipa-
ton was political serfdom to the republican
bosses. Their call reads like declaration
of independence 1t is strong
indictment of the Republican party
for wrongs done the colored race.
The proposed convention is for the
purpose OF effec5ing an organization of
the colored people by means of which
they may, through the dissemination of
proper literature aud individual effort"
promote their own welfare. In thei- address
the signers of the call say they reject the
coddling policy of the Republican party"
and add:
The failure of the civil rights law shows
that enactments forced upon unwilling
communities are imperative, and that the
only way to the permanent and peaceful
enjoyment Of oar civil and political rights
Is through the good will and consent of the
people with whom we live. To tie apples
to trees is folly, the Republican party policy
TO the contrary Notwithstanding They
should grow there. In like manner the
recognition and concession of our righs
should grow out of the mutual good will
and respect for each other which will, in
time, arise between the two races.
The force bill, they declare in effect,
would be death blow to civil government
which the colored people as we'll as the white
people are interested in maintaining. They
understand, too. that the Chinese wall Of
protection which the colored people have
aided in building up has given power and
wealth to favored few to their detriment
and loss. On this subject they say:
1.-THE fact that in communities and states
throughout the north which go re publican
with overwhelming majorities and GER
talnty of fate our people are universally
excluded from the protected industries
makes manifest to US that the Wanted
interest, solicitude and liberality of repub-
lean sentiment IN our behalf is a pretense.
a deiusion, a snare, and which, when prcked
by the pin of race need, discloses bag of
gas.
Slowly and surely the colored people are
awaking TO the fact that they will not really
be free until they have gained tn ,ir political
independence. And they cannot attain that
until they cease TO be the property Of the
Republican party.

Ballot Reform in ouay's State.


In PENNSYLVANIA the men who have
adopted the system Of numbering their
workmel ike convicts instead of calling
them by their names were instrumental in
putting into the constitution OF that state
8 provision by which the secret ballot is
abolished. Balloss must be marked so
that it may he known by whom they
were cast. II is upon this knowl-
edge that monopoly and bossism
principally rely in their struggles TO main
tain themselves. The Australian ballot
system is therefore needed in Pennsylvania
to maze every man his own master at the
polls. The democrats of that state have
made that system one of the issues of the
present state campaign, and Chairman
Black, of the Democratic Society OF Penn
sylvauia. has issued a circular in which he
says: ITO be free, the ballot must be Sc
cret, and to that end the Odious marked
ballot provision Of our existing constitution
must be removed. While 1t remains, while
we have permanently incorporated in our
system Of voting plan expressly designed
for the Identification of ballots-the very
principle of exposure as against the prin-
SAJio VI secrecy -LueIe can De no Sucu J0luR
as elections, pure or free, in the state of
Pennsylvania"
1t is shocking and SHAMEFUL state Of af-
fairs that is disclosed by Mr. Black The
statement is explicitly made that political
slavery Of the worst kind exists in the great
and wealthy state OF Pennsylvania. Eiec-
tions are not free, Mr.. Black explains, be-
cause lat the one supreme moment in the
year when the workingman's will is to be
made potential by his vote that vote is
noted and marked, and he must cast his
ballot In particular way or lose
his employment. There can. of course,
lie no freedom under such q system, where
capitalists are in politics for personal gain.
Many thousands of Pennsylvania cleo
tors" Mr.. Black adds, "vote under this
dreadful apprehension (of losing employ
meno at every recurring election" This
being the situation, it is obvious that ballot
reform should be made the main issue in
the coming election. The republicans do
not want it, and the workingmen will
know that vote for Pattison and the dem
ocratic nominees for the legislature means
ballot for free elections

A Story of Hannibal Hamlin.

The Hon Hannibal Hamlin of Bangor. NJ,
while attending the Grand army encampment
told good story, which has never before been
publsi ed, about a countryman who didn't
know hi n, says an exchange. He was passing
through West Market square, Bangor. one
morning, when he saw a load of very nice oats
and made a bargain for them with the owner
Having paid the price. he gave the countryman
directions as to how To find his house But his
bucolic friend was not quick to understand him
and finally said: Look here mister, YOU gel
up here with me and show me where
your house is" Uncle Hannibal accented
the invitation, and when the harm
was reached he even assisted the driver in dis.
posing of his load. which only about half filled
the bin. He therefore ordered another load ar
the same price, and it was brought the next
week. In the meantime the farmer had learned
who his purchaser was. When he reached Mr.
HamlIn's house with the second load the farmer
at once began an apology for his ocular rude
ness, assuring the Vice President that if he mad
known who he was he would surely not have
asked him to ride on bag OF oats.
well, my friend" sand HamIin, II didn't
hurt the oats, did IT,
No, but"-
We'll, the oats didn't hurt me, so I don't
see as there is any chance for US to complai n.
Uncle Hamln has no more ar lent admirer in
Maine to-day than that raiser of oats

Against the sub-rreasury Plan.

Gov. Gordon, in his speech to the alliance
men at Atlanta on Wedn esday night, said
that he did not approve the sub-treasury
plan. Ii Col Livingston wants TO enter the
race for senator on the issue thus made he
has now fine opportunity to do so. He is
the chief champion in this state of the sub
treasury pl an, and he doubtless thinks that
it is good thing.
Gov. Gordon has taken the stand with re-
spect to the plan that about every democrat
In public life has taken. And he can safely
take 1t, because the farmers themselves-at
least those who have thought it over care
fully-are satisfied that it is wholly I'M
practicable. Congress has refused to touch
1T, not because congressman are unwilling
to do whatever they an to aid the farmers,
but because they know that it is not only
contrary to the Constitution but also be-
cause it would do the farmers far more
harm than good.
The farmers know that Gov. Gordon is
their friend and has their interests at heart.
He condemns the SUBJ treasury plan because
his Judgment is against it. In condemning
it at meeting of alliancemen he shows his
fraukness and sincerity, and virtually chal-
lenges anybody to try to beat him for the
Senate on that issue. 1t is not probable
that anybody will accept the challenge.

Notice to Mariners: The following is a
diapatch from Ha lifax, N. s.: Capt. Obed
Knowlton, of the schooner Trader, at Advo-
cate Harbor, reports that while on his way
from Boston he sighted what be supposed
to be the wreck Of vessel. He at once
bore down on il, when, to his great aston
ishment, he discovered it to be the dead
carcass of q gigantic sea monster, unlike
anything be had ever seen before. His YES
sci got within twelve feet of it, and it
seemed to be about eighty feet long and
twenty feet broad, and was covered with a
shell ON its back. The monster tapersd off
at each end and was striped like a zebra
1t had the appearance Of being run into by
q vessel, as the shell on its back was broken
in" Mariners will take particular notice
that the monster is dead, and that all sea-
serpent stories will hereafter be regarded
with suspicion.

THE TRADE REVIEW.

For years, on the opening of each sue
ceeding season, there has been presented
evidence of large increase in SavannahS
business Heretofore this increase has been
due TO the natural growth Of Savannah's
tributary territory, a better understanding
of her commercial advantages, and the
gradual enlargement Of her two great rail-
road SYSTEMS. These things will continue to
contribute to her growth and prosperity,
and, in addition to them, there are others,
which have recently come into existence,
that will make the business year of 1S90-91
more notable than any preceding one in her
history.
Since the last trade review of the MORN
ING NEWS there have been built three new
and important railroads to Savannah, or to
connect with her railroad systems. They
are the Alabama Midland. the Savannah
and Western, and the Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery. These railroads have
already brought hundreds of buyers to
Savannah and increased her trade greatly
But the number OF buyers and the amount
of trade which these new railroads will
contribute to her markets when the crops
now in the fields tributary to them are
harvested will be many times larger. The
people will have money then and they will
seek Savannah to supply their wants
The az anced condition Of the cotton crop
justifes the opinion that the business season
will open early and with great activity.
The people are already thinking, probably,
of what they will buy with the fruits of
their labor They are scanning the columns
of the MORNING NEWS TO SEQ who are the
live and progressive business men Of Savan-
nah and what they are Offering for sale.
There is large and lucrative trade to be
secured from the territory which the new
railroads have made tributary to Savan-
nah, as well as from the territory which has
heretofore been tributary to her. If our
merchants are wise they will not neglect the
only proper method of getting this trade
That method is liberal advertising.
The MORNING NEWS proposes to make
special effort TO reach every buyer in the
new field that has been opened by Savan-
nahs enterprise. The agents of the MORN
ING NEWS are travelling through the ooun-
try, and the people are taking the paper
just as rapidly as the mail facilities which
are being established permit them 10.
1t is proposed to send copy Of the trade
review to each subscriber to the WEEKLY
NEWS, as well as to each subscriber TO the
daily, thus giving advertisers the benefit of
both editions at little more than the usual
price of one.
An advertisement in newspaper IL an in
vitation to buyers to call 1t virtually says,
when you are in town please call on us.
We have all these things to show you"
The annual review will contain the usual
resume Of the business of the city for the
last year. 1t will be sent to thousands of
people who are interested in Savannah's
welfare and prosperity.
The Trade Review edition will be issued
Sept. 4. Space in its columns can be OBJ
tanned upon application to the business
Office.
