Negroes Rarely Commit Suicide.

"There are plentyof cases on record in
which colored people have been killed by
members Of their own race, but negro
seldom, If ever, commits suicide" OBJ
serves Coroner Frank. "I know of no
nationality or race in which self murder
is SO rare, and the reason is of course
the extreme philosophy which charac-
terizes the colored man or woman's
every thought.
"There may be a good deal of grum-
bling, but SO long as the next meal
ahead is provided for there is nothing SO
much as solicitude, let alone anxiety.
and just where despair can be found in
a colored man it is hard to say. The
negro may labor under good many dis
advantages, but he certainly is ahead Of
his white brother in the matter of enjoy
ing himself heartily on the least possible
provocation, and of never thinking of
such a thing as meeting trouble half
way. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-11-10

THERE have been few greater in
stances of the wanton abuse OF power
than were embodied in the Mckinley
bill. The gentleman who fabricated it
is reported as saying that he regards
his defeat as victory. In the next
year or so he will have ample occasion
to revise his opinion. The presidential
election of 1888 was carried on a false
issue. Mr.. Cleveland's message found
the people unprepared for the question
which he presented. Mr.. Blaine sprang
into the BREACH and, with his usual ad
captandum eloquence, confused the con-
troversy. The fact is that when the
Chicago national convention nominated
Benjamin Harrison, on radical protec-
ton platform, for president, the real
sentiment OF the country was that the
tariff ought to undergo some modif-
cation, not in the direction OF
free trade, but in that of just and
moderate reduction and revision.
The ideas advanced by Mr.. Cleve-
land and by Mr. Roger @. Mills would
have found large following in the Re-
publican party if they had been devel-
oped by some prominent leader of that
organization. The best and most saga
cious sentiment of the Republican party
was exemplifed by James A. Garfield
when he said that he was in favor OF
that form of protection that should lead
up ultimately to free trade. In the
passage OF the Mckinley bill the Repub-
lican party defied this moderate and
statesmanlike sentiment; and, at time
when the whole common-sense senti-
ment of the country was calling out for
tariff revision and reform, the Repub-
lican majority of both houses of congress
applied itself to increasing instead OF
diminishing the weight of the burdens
which pressed upon the necss OF the
people. A popular revulsion and Re-
publican disaster naturally followed.

Donald is little boy who finds great
delight in the society of his pets. Kit
tens are his treasures, and even furry
and weather beaten donkey inspired in
him such an affection that he cried for a
whole day when his father refused to
buy the little beast of burden. Like
most people, however, Donald draws a
line between what is worthy his admira-
tion and the coin which is spurious.
One day an old lady from a neighbor-
ing town came to dinner, and made her
self very agreeable to the little boy. At
first he seemed to take great fancy to
her, but, as his 'mother noticed, treated
the guests invitation to visit her with
some indifference.
Don't you want to go over and spend
day with Aunt Rebecca?" asked mann
ma that night when Donald was in his
cot.
Don't know as do" was the brusque
reply.
'But l heard her tell you she had a
beautiful great cat, and that you might
play with it."
"That's all very well," said Donald
scornfully, but found out, when she
kept on talking, that it wasn't real cat.

Celman.
He now has $4,000, 900 in London, or
is currently believed to have, and it is
nothing more than reasonable, for it is
known that the Buenos Ayres Water
Works company, an English syndicate,
paid him an immense sum for the privi-
leges, and this is only one instance of
many. He also owns splendid palace

stocked ranch in the province of Cor

SECRETARY RusK, in his report to the
president, dwells on the beet sugar in
dustry in this country, in tone of en-
couragement. This is dangerous ground
to tread on in this state. Had it not
been for the Mckinley bill, supple
mented by Mr.. Blaine's notions on re-
ciprocity, there would be two sugar
plants being laid down now in this
county. The industry is crippled if not
killed in California by these economic
views OF uncle Jerry's party. Mr.. Nc
Kinley took good care of such ro-
bust infant industries as iron,
steel and similar ones, that have
been protected for thirty years, and in
which many men have grown to be
millionaires by means of such protec-
tiop. The continued protection of these
does not create demand for one new
laborer, nor raise the rate of wages one
cent year. The building up of the beet
sugar industry would create a call for
thousands of laborers and make wages
better. But these laborers did not con-
tribute to the Republican corruption
fund of 1888, and therefore did not pay
for any legislation in their behalf.

UNCLE JERRY RUsK's report on the
condition of the farmers of the country
appears in synoptic form in the HERALD S
telegraphic service this morning. The
document is not remarkable for per-
spicacity, and will carry little weight
with the farmers of the country. Uncle
Jerry may have been an admirable
grower of cabbage on the Wisconsin
prairies, but as the head of a depart
ment of the national government he is
not a brilliant success. He takes a
single day in this year and compares
it with the same day in the previous
year, as to prices of products. He
finds the quotations a little higher
this year, and then jumps at
the conclusion that this is due to the
economic legislation of the last congress.
Now the only economic legislation of
that body is embodied in the silver bill
and the new tariff schedule. Both were
passed at very late hour, just before
congress adjourned. The former has
had just time enough to show by it's
effects that it is a snare and delusion,
and the only effect the other law has
had so far is to create complications
with foreign governments. and thus
check exports, and to increase the cost
OF many articles of import. Get back to
your cabbages, Uncle Jerry, and let
affairs of state alone.

A Natural Barrier In the South to the
Extension of Slavery.

A Natural Barrier In the South to the
Extension of Slavery.
Slavery, as is well known, depended
for its extension on two important crops,
both of which demanded large amount
of cheap labor and afforded articles
which commerce greatly demands. The
institution rested on the industries of
tobacco and cotton growing. Only
where one Of these crops could be profit
ably titled did the institution ever firm
ly establish itself. A glance at the map
will show that the Appalachian system
of mountains widens as we go south
ward from Pennsylvania until it occu-
pies nearly one-ffth of the southern
states, extending southwark so as to in
clude half Of Virginia and North Caro-
lima, considerable part of western
South Carolina, much of Georgia, Ten
nessee and Kentucky and part of Ala
bama.
In this section the character of the
soil and form of the surface and the ma
ture of the climate make the land un-
suited for the extended culture of either
tobacco or cotton. The result was slav-
cry never firmly established itself as an
economic institution in any part of this
vast territory. Here and there in the
more fertile valleys few slaves were
employed, but there are cSdnties in this
area where slave was never held, and
where, to this day. negro is so great a
curiosity that people will journey miles
to behold him. The natural result of
this distribution in the negro population
was that the mountain districts of the
south were separated in their political
motives from the plane country.
When the rebellion occurred the Ap-
palachian country was a region where
disaffection toward the Confederacy pre-
vailed; to great extent the men cast in
their lot with the north, or at least gave
their sympathies to the Federal cause
The peoples of eastern Kentucky and
Tennessee and western Virginia-and
generally those of western North Caro-
lima as well-recruited the ranks Of the
Federal army.-Professor N. s. Shaler

THE Irish relief committee announce
that they have withdrawn their appeal
for aid for sufferers from the crop failure
in the Green Isle. The reasons given are
that the home government has been
forced to inaugurate line of public
works there that will afford labor to the
people and thus open way to self-help,
and that interference in this matter on
the part of America would only result in
further embittering the feeling between
the people and their own government.

VERY many Angelefios will regret to
hear of the death of Colonel J. Drew
Gay, an event which occurred early in
October. The deceased was one of the
most brilliant journalists and most ex-
tensive travellers of the day. During the
Franco-Prussian war he represented the
London Telegraph at the headquarters
of the Emperor William, and his Jour-
nalistic work was always bright, master
ful and yiyacious. He figured as the
correspondent of the same journal in the
Turco- Russian war, and he added to his
newspaper functions those of gallant
soldier in the Turkish cavalry, receiving
from the sultan the rank of colonel.
There was scarcely line of litera-
ture in which Colonel Gay was
not adapted to shine. His stores
of information were varied and valu-
able. He had been personally in
nearly every country of the world and
he claimed, and was entitled to claim,
the distinction of being, with one ex-
ception, the most travelled man in the
world. He had met nearly every dis
tinguished parsonage of the day, and his
"reminiscences of men and things were in
teresting in the extreme. Some years
ago Colonel Gay came out to
Southern California as the repre-
sentative of the London Telegraph,
which had adopted the idea
that good article of paper could be
made from the Yucca palm, growing on
what is popularity known as the Mojave
Los Angeles herald., 1890-11-10

desert. For some reason or other the
scheme failed, although in pursuance of
it Colonel Gay bought large quantity
of land from the Southern Pacific rail-
way which, if the Telegraph had re-
tanned, would have netted that paper
four or five hundred per cent. in the
four or five years since the purchase.
The HERALD adds it's hearty regrets to
the many which will go up all over this
section at this gifted mans death.
