For THE COMET
Cleanliness is Said to be Next to
Godliness.

Hence, when l heard our council
had passed an ordinance forbidding
the dirt and trash from the stores to
be swept upon the sidewalks and into
the cutters, there to rot for time, and
then to be thrown upon the streets to
breed malaria, disease and death, as
has been the custom, i said, "Let us
rejoice"
And when / saw cart or wagon on
Fairview gathering up the ornaments
from the street, again rejoiced that
the ordinance not only applied to the
business portion OF the town, but to
the residence portion also, and hence,
l thought our streets are no longer to
be waste baskets for the old tin cans
and unmentionale trash OF the house
hold and the garden, things which
have disguised more than one visitor
and turned him away to seek his for
tune where such bad taste is not dis.
played.
But alas alas! our ordinance is too
weak or our officers too delinquent,
for verify believe (not to mention
the loose stones which are out Of place
on all our highways) there are yet
carloads Of things on our most
travelled streets that McAdam never
thought of appropriating to such use.

The Site Located,

Amid great cheering about half-past
ten o'clock tonight, according to a
Chicago dispatch, the ordinance asked
by the directors of the Worlds Fair,
granting the use Of the lake front as
part site for the exposition, was adopt
ed by the city council without any
amendments. The vote stood Al to 10.
The ordinance pledges the city Of Chi
cage to pay for any piling or filling-in
OF the lake that may be required to
the extent Of 100000, and after the
fair is ended returns the made ground
to the city to be used forever as pub
lie park. Not less than one hundred
and fifty acres OF the lake front are to
be utilized for the Wold's Fair pur-
poses.
1t is stipulated that no bargain Of
any sort is to be entered into between
the fair directors and the Illinois Gen.
trail railroad for the control of that
portion of lake front occupied by the
Illinois Central tracks unless such
bargain shall be approved by the city
council. In case the city of Chicago
loans or subscribes $5,000,0O0 to the
stock of the exposition the directors
guarantee that the amount of money
returned to the city shall not be less
than the csst of whatever piling or
filling-in of the lake may be done.
The ordinance does not fix any
maximum number of acres to be util-
lied by the lake front, but the greatest
amount obtained by any OF the plans
thus far informally outlined is $50 to
800 acres. No change is made in the
plan OF placing the remainder of the
farm in Jackson park about five miles
distant on the lake shore. By the
"lake front" is meant Chicago harbor
and the long strip of park immediate
ly adjoining and between the business
portion of Chicago and the waters OF
Lake Michigan.

Negroes Against the Force Bill

The Philadelphia Record says that
OF all the protests against the Daven'
port Lodge bill few are more earnest
and emphatic than those which are
uttered by the colored people OF the
South, for whose projections this
scheme is ostensibly designed. There
is, in fact, a plaintive eloquence in
these appeals against the bill which
must make an impression upon all
but the Thorough paced politicians
who hold the success of their schemes
above every other consideration. Thus
Mr.. r. G. Grandson, the President OF
College in North Carolina, who is
himself a full blooded negro, declares
that this measure Of coercion is cal
culated only to stir up new hatred,
discord and prejudices in the South
which have been well-nigh overcome :
81 am against the bill," he says, "and
| believe that nine.teHths OF all the
intelligent negroes are on my side."
Mr.. Grandson goes on to state that
there is in the South "a growing ele-
ment" which is more and more inclin-
ed to do justice to the negro. This
element is always ready to help the
negro and to protect him against vio-
lence. 1t is important to the negroes
to retain as friends the white people
whoenc ourage education and improve
ment among them as the best means
OF solving the race problem. But
this bill, Mr.. Grandson says, would
change the situation at blow. The
whites would take the offensive
the moderates would be driven
into the camp Of the extremists, and
the division between whites and
blacks in politics would be sharper
then ever before. Nothing" concludes
Mr.. Grandson, ''could come out o
this measure but reaction, race ha
tired and political disorders, which
would have a most mischievous influ
ence upon economical developementG
in the South" But such considers
tions are utterly wasted upon the
Reeds, Beldens, Rowells and their as
sooiates, whose aim is to construct {
machine for counting a majority int
the next congress at any hazard to the
welfare Of the negroes and the peace

tive sources which points to the early
establishment in the South of paper
manufacturing on large scale, and
the Development OF great fibre inter
ests, The American Fibre Assoeia-
ton, of New York, with a capital OF
$50, 100000, has been organized to
take up everything new and utilize
everything old which is available in
the fibre line. The company is pre-
fecting plans which in scope and inn
portance are in keeping with its capi-
talization. The Judge Publishing
Co.'s fibre business, on which it has
been working several years, has been
absorbed by the Fibre Association.
The latter is also largely interested in
the production OF fibre from "cat
tails" ramie and cotton stalk and has
recently taken up the matter Of flax.
1t is manufacturing at Fernandina
plaster fibre from the palmetto, which
is to be used as a substitute for hair.
Paper manufacturing, however, is
the particular business upon which
the effort of the company will be con-
centrated for the time being, and this
will be done in such 4 way that a
revolution in the paper trade is per
dicted by those in position to Judge.
The Association has closed contract,
running several years, with the Cotton
Oil Trust to utilize its 100000 tons
per anum OF cotton-seed hulls, from
which, it is claimed, a paper can be
manufactured by the Associations
patent process vastly superior in quail
ty to that in use for book and news
print, and at a cost hitherto unheard
Of. The best part OF it all is that the
Association will build its mills in the
South, and the South will enjoy the
benefit Of cheaper and better paper
for its own consumption, besides ac-
quiring the new population wealth
which will come with the paper in
dustry.
This great enterprise, which is
backed by some Of the leading fnan.
ciers OF the country, will prove a
source OF ensrmous wealth to the
South. In addition to utilizing 300,-
900 tons of cotton-seed hulls annually
for paper manufacture, this company
will develope all branches OF the fibre
business.

2Sd inst: At the request Of the Phila-
delphia Press yesterday Gov. Gordon
sent the following expression OF his
views:
To THE PRESS, Philadelphia, Pa;
A compliance with your request for
my reasons for believing that the force
bill necessarily means injustice to
any section OF the country" requires
more time than can now command.
| give, however, in brief few Of those
reasons:
l. The proposed law, while ostensi-
bly, national, is really sectional-that
the sole excuse for such legislation is
the correction of election frauds
claimed to be perpetrated at the
South. Neither the author nor any
supporter of the bill will pretend that
any such law would ever have been
proposed had there been no South, or
had the South been solidly Republi-
can instead of solidly Democratic. No
candid supporter Of the measure will
assert that he expects Northern States
to be overrun by Federal supervisors
as will be the Southern States. The
law is, therefore, sectional in its inspi-
ration, sectional in its objects and will
be sectional in its administration.
2. tits unjust to the South, because
based on the false assumption Of sup
preston Of the negro vote in the face
the fact that in 1880 there were
over 100000 more voters in the Re-
publican States North who did not
cast a ballot than there were in all the
Democratic States, including the
South.
In 1888 the number of voters "intim-
idated," or who did not cast ballot
in the Northern Republican States,
exceeded the same class in all Demo
cratic States by more than 100000.
In 1884 Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont and Massachusetts, cast but
little over 60 per cent. OF their total
vote. Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas
cast at the same election over II per
cent. OF their total vote. So that the
assumption Of suppression is unjust.
8. The crowning injustice consists
N the fact that at the South we have
the extremely delicate and difficult
task of dealing with two races-the
former slaves, ignorant. suspicious,
easily excited and inflamed by bad
white men, and the former masters,
taught by sad experience how danger
Gus to the well-being OF both races is
negro supremacy or the presence OF
Federal election officials politically
hostile to Southern whites and filled
with prejudice against them.
Such a condition of affairs existing
nowhere else in the Unisn ought, we
think, to command the sympathy OF
our countrymen at the North, and
that our success in carrying this race
problem safely and peacefully toward
wise solution, with both races grow
ing stronger, richer and happier,
should command the support and not
the hostility of good men of all parties.
We are educating the negro for a
better citizen. If let alone we will de.
monstrate to the North, and TO man
kind, that the wisest, best thing for
both races, and for both sections, is to
leave the South's destiny to those
whose every interest is involved in
that destiny. The argument, there
fore, which you draw from the peace.
full operation of a similar law in New
York, is not fair, because no similar
conditions exist in that State.
