NORTHERN NEGRO VOTE.

The threatened split of the negro vote Of
Ohio in the approaching election in that
State seems to have influenced d very large
proportion of the voters of the same race in
Pennsylvania TO consider seriously whether
their general interests would not be pro-
noted by an open secession from the Repub-
lican party. which has hitherto received their
answering support.
A few days ago there was q meeting Of COL
ored men in the city Of Plttsburg which dis
cussed very fully the best course to be pur.
sued by the negro voters. and the unanimous
conclusion was reached that the Democratic
party. under its present leadership in Penn
sylyania. promised much more to their race
than the Republican.
A league was formed representing thirty or
forty clubs in different parts Of the State, and
an address was drawn up in which it was de-
manded that the colored voters should receive
larger recognition in the matter Of public
Offices and should DO admitted more freely
to the industrial schools as preparation for
the most profitable work in factories of vari
Gus kinds. A resolution was also presented
and adopted indorsing the administration of
Goyerno. Psttison and favoring reduction
Of our present tariff duties.

men 10 wise and proper in the light Of what

pendence Of the party TO which they have 50
long and 80 unreasonably adhered. There
are many indications that the negro voters OF
the North are disposed to brcsk away from
their old party allegiance and to cast the

Republican leaders in that State were thrown

Governor Pattison' as having done more Tor

II the same spirit is maintained for year
by the negro voters OF the North there IS
strong probability that the larger proportion
will support the Democratic nominee for the
Presidency. spectacle which will afford but
little qualification to their former Republican
allies

Thu diphtheria and other diseases which
have prevaied 10 40 alarming an extent in
Richmond during the past summer and pre-
sent early fall have been largely due to defec-
tive sewerage and bad plumbing; but another
causs of the trouble. equally AZ serious as
.bess ia the oyer-crowded condition OF the
city. House rent is exceptionally high in
Richmond and nowhere in the United States
is tho custom of sub-lettng floors or portions
of houses more general. To this Is undouot-
edly TO be attributed much OF tho ii-heaith
from which we have been. and are, suffering
One plain fact shows this beyond contro-
yersy. Our houses are. as rule, built for SIN
gle families. and the plumbing and sewerage
connections are intended only TO DO such as
the average family would require In fact
the sewers themselves are constructed only
with the view of providing accommodation
for the sewage Of single dwellings. and so IL
stands to reason tina. when people enough 10
fll two houses are crowded into one the
plumbing and sewerage facilities OF those
houses are overtaxed. In consequence the
sewage is not properly carried on out ac-
cumulates. Not only the houses themselves
but every inch Of the soil Of the streets are
permeated with subtle and poisonous gases
to be taken into the lungs during the ordi-
nary every day life at home. and to be thrown
off into theatmosphere at large whenever
for any purpose the soil is disturbed
This oyer-crowded condition Of the city has
already worked much mischief, and will each
year work more and more until the evil Is
rectifed. since. as tho population increases,
over-crowding will increase in proportion.
The proper remedy, therefore, is TO give our
population moro room to spread out.
This can only DO done by extending tho
city limits. There are a number OF owners
of suburban lots now waiting for water, gas,
school privileges, police protection and other
like advantages Of municipal government TO
build themselves homes The Legislature can
easily amend the charter Of Richmond so as
TO enable the CITY Council TO extend the cor
porate limits whenever deemed desirable.
And the sooner steps in That direction are
taken the better.

For years he has employed only union men.
Recently. however one Of his employees
named Wolff was dismissed from the local
union, and that individual opened a shop for
himself on Main street Just below Fifteenth.
There he did tailoring which was given him
by merchant tailors. and also made and sold
suits by sample. Wolf continued 20 labor
for Mr.. Salomonsky until few days ago,
when committee from the employees of Mr..
SalomOnsky's shop waited upon the latter
and laid before him their grievances that
Wolff who besides operating shop of his
own, was no longer member of the union
and not entitled to work with them.

ton from the other tailoring establishments

upon him. Mr. Salomonsky was ordered not
10 employ Wolff and tina former said he would
consider the matter. Mr. SalomOnsky finally
answered by sending a letter to Mr.. Byrne
resigning az member of the union. As soon
a. this WAS done, some of the tailors IN Mr..
Salomonsky's employ resigned.
