INGALLS,, lRIDEscENr DREAM.

decalogue and the golden rule have no place
in political campaign" This is simply
recognition of the nature of man as demon
strated during thousands of years. When
men are striving against each other for SUI
premaey, they do not always 'do unto others
sye would like others to do unto you" There
would be no fight in this kind of contest. 1t
does not follow, however, that there are no
rules of political warfare. Even in actual
war there are laws which may not be dis
regarded. The object always is to defeat
the opposing party, but the CLEAN of human
ity in the combative animal known as man
has suggested rules which do not place q
restraint upon the exercise of force and yet
temper its consequences. A contem porary
has twisted Senator Ingalls, recognition of
the law Of force into a declaration that force
should recognize no law. 1t applies this doc
trine to the administration of the Federal

exercise Of all possible powers TO control an

A CLOSE CALL,

Nathaniel Page has given the opinion that

ance from the Bank of England another

could not have taken up the Barings' obi
cations, and that scores of smaller houses
would inevitably have followed the collapse
of the Barings. Whether or not MI Page
is exactly correct in his estimate of the situa
Iion, it appears that the financial center of
the world very much needed prop The
financial world, by the way, may be said to
illustrate the truth of the old proyerb,
United we stand, divided we fall" So
long as attacks are made only on one point
at time, leaving other divisions to come to
the relief of the one under fire, 1t will sur
viye such close calls as that just experienced.
But with the vast indebtedness of Europe,
IL can hardly happen otherwise than that an

OUR FINANCES.

The present financial depression proves
the wisdom of the American people in de-
handing that silver, as we'll as gold coin,
should be used as currency. 1t is all very
well while there is general confidence in bank
NJ institutions aud the paper money which
they put afioat, but let depression occur and
doubts be felt as TO the solvency of the
banks, and the paper no longer serves to
pay debts. The banks are then called upon
for specie, which they cannot fu rnsh. The
United States has escaped a general catas-
trophe by the coinage of silver and making

SHALL TIE NEGROES GO?

Mr.. Stanley appears to lie converting his
lecture tour inio crusade for the deporta-
ton of the Southern negroes TO Congo State.
He thinks that the offer of free land will
reconcile the negroes to the migration, and
he is quite sure that without them Congo
State can never realize its possibilities, as
white men cannot become acclimatlZed there.
Hence he calls upon the leading men of the
South to revive The old colonization policy
under which Liberia was founded.
This shows that man may be an ad-
mlrabie explorer and an energetic and in
telligent traveller wi thout having the least
conception of practical craftsmanship. 1t
is 40 more possible to export the Southern
negroes to Africa than it would be TO send
the white population of this continent back
to the European countries from which their
ancestors emigrated. The thing could not
be done if everybody was in favor of it, and
if it could be done, neither whites nor blacks
would consent to it. The blacks are as
firmly attached to their American homes as
the whites. A wholesale deportation of the
former would leave the South denuded of
labor, and would stop the annual production
of 7,00o,0o bales Of cotton. Such disaster
would be forcibly resisted by the whites.
And finally, an exodus of 100000 persons
from the Southern States and their reIoca-
ton in a country on the other side Of South
Atlantic would be an operation of such mag
nitude that it Won DEFY the transportation
facilities of all the maritime nations of the
world.
The history Of the human race abounds in
instances OF large migrations of people from
one locality to another. The colonization
of Italy, Southern France and Spain by the
northern races whom we know as the Cloths
and Vandals was one; the occupation of the
Danube by the Huns was another: the
flooding of Turkey by the followers of
Mohammed was third: the settlement of the
Americas by Europeans was still another.
But in all these cases the newcomers fled
from cline in which life was arduous to a
cline In which its conditions were better.
1t was to better themselves and to reyel in
the plumber of nations which had acquired
wealth and which were unable to defend 1t
that the invaders set forth. 1t is because
wages have always been higher here than
in Europe that Great Britain and Germany
have sent US their surplus people from year
to year. 1t was because Arabia could not
feed its. people that the Moslems swooped
down on the fertile foothills Of the Balkans.
1t was because the rugged mountains and
chilly swamps of Northern Europe presented
SO striking contrast to the sunny slopes
which extend to the Mediterranean that
the northern barbarians swarmed over the
Alps and the Pyrenees. and pushed the
enervated Roman people into the sea.
No such conditions can be set forth by the
advocates OF negro migration to Africa.
The Congo State may be and probably is a
fertile quarter of the globe. Splendid farms
could probably be located on the continents
OF the great river. But the cotton Statesare
equally fertile, and the farms in parts of
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1890-12-09

Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi leave
rothiBg to be desired. An ex-slave can get
him a homestead in those OF neighboring
States almost on his own terms. Forty acres
and mule are at the service of any man
who willagree to give bale of cotton for
every five acres to the owner of the land.
Why should the Southern negro seek to
better his condition? He is in the land of
his birth. The climate is to his liking He
is surrounded by people who speak his
tongue and attend the same church as him.

in the world, and though his exercise of the
franchise is still attended by some friction
this will wear off by and by, and he will not
only govern himself, but will help govern
over fifty millions of whites He is alb
solutely without grievance, or reason
for expatriation.
That be is there, side by side, with men
Of another race, and race which is apt to
be dominant wherever it goes, is unfortunate.
But the chief part of the misfortune falls
not on him, but ON the white. If it becomes
intoierable it Will not be the negro who will
have to go, Mr.. Stanley's gloomy prognostics
to the contrary notwithstanding.

A CASE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION.

The fur seal question has remained for
some months in a state of suspended AMI
nation. Mr.. Blaine rested the American
case on the ground that the promiscgous
hunting for seals would in short time eX-
;Inguish the animal for Industrial purposes.
The British Minister Tepli, that according
to reports of Treasury agents since 1882,
when lromiscuouS hunting became active,
the seals are increasing. In other words
they thrived by being eXterninated. Mr..
Blaine has parentiy since been waiting to
ascertain TO what extent the report quoted
might be depended upon. Evidence accu-
mulates that the seals are rapidly decreas-
ing in number. The fur company to which
the seal fisheries were leased has been un-
able to take more than about II third of the
number the lease allows it TO catch. British
poachers the same season captured or de-
stToyed about $1,000. 1t is estimated that
they killed 200,C they did not bring to the
surface. Ii IS proba ole that the fur seal
correspondence Will be resumed and the
situation discussed in the light of recently
discovered facts. When the British Min
iS,er marShaled his evidence that the peach
ing of British seaers had not injured the
fisheries he substantially admitted that if
the opposite was the truth Mr.. Blaine's de-
mand that poaching cease would be cont
piled with. The facts as they are stated on
competent authority are on The American
side OF the question. In one of Mr.. Blaine's
letters to Sir Julian Paupcefote he cited the
British monopoly of the pearl industry in
the Pearl Islands as furnishing an analo-
gous case. The Pearl Islands are not
within a closed sea nor are they within
three miles of British territory. Yet the
British hold the industry as strictly as
though they had maritime law on their side.
1t is quite likely that Mr. Blaine will soon
be heard FROM

SERMONS IN STONE.

Father Ignatius recently delivered ser
mon in Chickering Hall. New York, in
which he gave the world a severe scolding.
He is reported as saying that 'if he were
Deity he does not think he would love this
world Bit" If Father Ignatius were what
he is not he would see much in the world
that would meet his appreciation. Amid
some folly and some sin he would discern
many noble traits of character. He would
see parents on one side working their lives
away and denying themselves many luXu-
ries that their children may have Il start in
the orld. He would also see parents who
had become old and iDtirm the objects of the
most tender care from offspring who had
come TO manhood's estate. He would see
grea many little waits gathered into shell
tiers, fed, clothed and educated. He would
see on every hand manifestations of FREUD
ship and kindly feeling for their fellow
beings. 1t Is very easy to rail at the world.
One may travel in all parts of it and not
find truly Christian country, but in all
these countries there are manifestations of
a Christian spirit. There is good deal of
seifishnesS in the world aud a vast amount
OF self-sacriiice; there is a great deal OF
cruelty and much kindness. There are peo-
pie false from the crown of their head to
the sole of their feet and others whose
loyalty TO their convictions remains I'M
shaken by temptation. On the whole, the
world is pretty good one, but we must ad-
nit that the mil enuium is yet in the future.
" hen it comes, if it ever does, there will be
nothing for human beings 10 do but wait
for death.

A QUIET CLEANUP.
Jake Sharp Carried Away Joe
Spanier's Wealth.

In the matter of the estate OF the late
Joseph Spanier, the cigar-dealer on Kearny
street. Judge Coffey has suspended the adj
mnistrator, Jacob II. Sharp, who absconded
with all the property of the estate, and the
court has ordered citation issued to him to
appear in Department on the 18th inst to
show cause why he should not be perma-
nently removed from said Office.
Sharp's creditors have brought suit to have
him adjudged an insolvent debtor They al
lege that he has collected all the money OBJ
tainable and has left the State without max
ing any effort to pay his debts.

OF their claims are as follows: Husband &

between the conclusions Of the authorities
of New York in this census matter ana
those of the giost-danoing Indians. New
York had figured out a population of about
$4,000, and because the census enumera-
ton did not find that number of people IN
June when several thousands are known to
have been in the country, the authorities
demand recount. So the ghost-danolng
Indians want a recount because the eumera-
ton reduces their rations below the guam
tity they had supposed they would get. The
New York authorities and the ghost-dancing
Indians seem to have common grievance.
