Lies complimentary and lies
defamatory. Lies thatsome

feet as swift as antelope's,

HARD SENSE.

We can trust the negro in
Southern hands. Elnan.ipa-
ton has been well for both
races. The negro is a grave
problem, none graver in the
ages. Our feelings toward
the Southern people in their
settlement of it should he
that Of entire sympathy and
good will. The duty is with
them--the issue and the bur-
den.
Moreover, and thisis an ar
gument that should come
home to all men, we have our
own business to mind at
home, and why perplex the
South with suspicion? The
problem of badly paid labor;
the miseries Of the mines; the
degradation that comes from
the ignorant thousands DUN
ped from day to day upon
our shores from far away
lands, alien to our people in
kindred, religion tradition
and lace; the crushing effects
OF ~ war tariff, which doub-
les the cost of eHSfy poor

and many kindred questions
we in the North should think
about. Tlry are gilmore con-
sequence to us than any race
problems, and to consider
them we should mind our
own business and leave the
South alone.-M Y. Herald. =

that fact even clearer than it
is now. The committee
which took % recess to the
first OF September, has, by
it's rulings (voted against by
the democratic members)
made it almost impossible
for Mr.. Cooper to prove the
other charges, but what is
admitted should be enough
to make a vacancy in the
head of the Pension Office.
Speaker Reed could stand
the pressure'l1o longer, and
on Saturday he agreed that
Thursday and Saturday of
this week should be devoted
to the consideration ofmeas-

House so ordered. He heard
from some of the labor or
ganizations in his district.

A SCENE IN THE House.
Telegram To Landmark.


Washington, Aug. 27.-The7
buldozing rules adopted by
the republicans and enforced
by the Speaker had their fit
ting and necessary outcome
to-day in a scene OF the most
beastly disorder ever known
in the American Congress.
While a filihustering protest
against a partisan and in
consistent ruling Of the Spea
ker was going on, Cannon,
the republican floor leader, in
suited a democrat, Mr.. McA-
doc, in obscene LANGUAGE. At
the demand Of another demo
crat the words were taken
down and while the House
was having it's hands full
with this matter, two repub-
licans in private conversa-
ton got into a fist fight on
the floor and q third republi-
can in interfering was struck
for his peace-making. For
several minutss it seemed
that the republican party
had forgotten the democrats
and the public at large, and
were going to rend each 9th
er to pieces. 1t was fully fiji
teen minutes before any SEM
blance OF order was restored.
Reed was utterly powerless,

discussion of the bill, the
democrats will agree, in ac-
cordance with the custom OF
the Senate, to take a vote up
on it. The question has al
ready been under considera-
ton, but no conclusion has
been reached. The PROPOSE

from the republicans. None
has yet been received. When
it comes we shall decide
whether it is satisfactory, if
not we shall make a counter

would be perfectly willing to
