from the first intended to disfranchise
the negro at any cost and by any means.
This purpose they concealed for time,
but never for moment relinquiShed.
They brought in the educational amend
ment as an olive branch of peace, but
in its foliage they concealed serpent
that has fastened its fangs on the arm
OF the unsuspecting black man out
stretched to receive it.
In commencing this action is where
Mr.. Montgomery made his fatal error.
Here is where he proved recreant to his
trust, holding their coats and applaud
ing their work while they stoned his
race to political death. Here is where,
If he had any weight or influence, he
should have used it to it's fullest limit,
and eXerted all the noble powers of his
eloquence to have prevented the enact
ment of this clause, should have utter
ed the protest of over hundred thou
sand stricken hearts, the last appeal of
an eighth of a million pairs of lips soon
to be forever silent in the politics of
their native State.
He should have plead that those poor,
simple, trusting people be killed by law
If their death was necessary to save the
life of the State, but not to be butcher
ed. That the angel Of death pass by no
house except those whose lintels were
sprinkled with blood as a proof of their
intelligence. That they die on the
sword of justice, not by the already
red hands of election officers, and that
all others guilty of the same OffenSe be
condemned by the same law and die the
same death.
For not doing this he must forever
stand condemned before the bar of pub
lie opinion. Perhaps with the best of
motives and perhaps with power to
have prevented, he surrendered his
clate his magnanimity and unwilling to
stand the test they themselves have
made. When all the air was ringing
with the word reciprocity" | wonder
he did not demand it as the only means
of harmonious adjustment between
the two races of Mississippi.
He came into the convention under
white flag of truce, yet he has been
shown no quarter. He has butchered
as cruelty as the martyrs around the
of Fort Pillow, on the same
soil and perhaps by some of the same
hands. He has laid enough black votes
upon the altar to have changed the re-
suit in any State election since the war,
and yet he has not appeared the demon |
of partisan prejudice. Its voraciOus |
appetite is stated only for the time. He |
will yet see that prejudice, like slavery,
increases its appetite by what it feeds |
upon. The call for the convention
might have warned him; its compost
ton might have alarmed him; its de-
bates told him what they intended; alas,
be has yet to learn what they have done.

THE testimony is practically unanimous
that the passengers delayed on Southern
Pacific lines in the great storm have been
treated with consideration such as never
was extended by any railroad-carrier be-
fore to any class of customers. The men
who grumble at being supplied with food,
lodging and other comforts free of charge
while waiting for unforeseen natural OBJ
stacles to be removed from the path of
travel, would growl if granted admission to
Heaven, and insist upon premium ac-

81 wonder why there isn't more atten-
ton paid to frog culture?" remarked
Charles II. Dawson, of the Gansevosrt Mar
ket, to a New York Star man day or two
ago, as he looked admiringly at dozen
plump green batrachians from Canada,
which he had Just taken from a crate.
81 mean in the United States" he con-
tinued. "The Kanucks now control the
frog market and make big money, and [
don't see why New York State or New
Jersey shouldn't furnish US. There are
good many wild frogs sold which are
speared around in the swamps and marshes
of New Jersey, and they are not as palat-
able as the cultivated product reared in
Canada. The Canadians pay considerable
attention to frog culture, and have i'm
mense artificial ponds around St. Cath
arines. Their frogs are larger, and have
none of that gamy, fshy tast noticeable
in every swamp frog. A few years ago
Frenchman in Canada, who had been in
the market business here for some time,
attempted to start frog farm on big
scale in Forrest county, Pennsylvania.
'He carried large stock from St. Cath
arines. He took advantage of big swamp
on his farm in the woods, and had his mar
ket secured, and everything looked promis-
ing. But he played to bad luck. A terri
bic drought died up the biggest part of his
swamp; he was unable to secure proper
feed for his young stock, and the natives
used to scoop up his croakers by the pail
fuls at night, and his frog industry went
to pieces. He is now engaged in cooking
frogs and other delicacies in an uptown
restaurant. But he still looks forward to
running a frog farm of his own, and if he
had the money to start right 1 think he
could make it pay, for the demand for frogs
has nearly doubled in the last FIVE years,
and the popular taste has been educated
up to the artifcially cultivated SORT"

That is a rather pretty story which is
now making the rounds about Congress
man Cheatham, the colored representative
from North Carolina. 1t tells that he asks
for the retention in Office of young Dem
ocrat in his district on the ground that in
the old days of slavery he (the Congress
mani was given as bridal present to the
young mans mother If true, the story
has many morals. Not only does it show
the Congressman magnanimity in a strong
light, but it directs attention to the mar
velous change of fortune which quarter
of century has wrought at the South.

THE indications are that the storm is
over and that we will now have season
of drying weather. OF course planting
will be very late, and should an early
warm season follow, crops will be light.
But there is no reason to expect anything
of shortage in fruit; on the contrary, from
the present outlook, 1890 will be the most
bountiful fruit year the State has seen.

The Burr-Hamilton Duel-Daniel Web.
ster's Last Words.
Gideon ]. Tucker in New York SUM-
The erroneous belief that Aaron Burr
was "tried for killing" Alexander Hamil-
ton appears to be widespread. The fact,
however, is that Burr was never tried
upon any charge in connection with Ham
ilton's death. He had shot down his ad-
versary in fair field and in an equal
duel, in which the risk of life on the part
of the combatants had been mutual, and
no Court ever molested him for the act
The COroner's jury here in New York did,
in their inquest, charge him with murder,
and an indictment was found against him
in New Jersey, in which State the hostile
meeting had taken place, but nothing
more was done about it. No trial was
ever had, no arraignment, no arrest. The
testimony in the case did not warrant the
public prosecutor in pressing it. There
was then no anti-dueling law. Aaron
Burr did once face a jury in 1903, but not
on a charge of killing anybody. At that
time he was tried at Richmond, Va, upon
an indictment for treason, and instantly
acquitted by the jury. The public mind
have somehow COMPOUNDED and connected
this trial with the Hamilton duel. 1t
seems strange, however, that there should
be errors as to these matters, which &C.
CURED only eighty years ago, mostly in
this town. 1 myself well remember of
hearing of Aaron Burr's death when it
occurred, while l was schoolboy.

Ingersoll, that prisoners confined fer a

value of their own labor, is new. Oar
contemporary is mistaken. The idea has
been discussed more or less for the past
twenty years, ard in addition to this, it
has been mooted in the councils of penolo-

inflicted in the public interest is not de-
priying the family of the criminal of sup
