Rayel, diYining my thoughts. -,

The passengers fell back. the gangway

from the dock. We stood for long time
watching the river-craft and the recedins

Tho Negro Question.

In an editorial on the Democratic party
and the Alliance the Washington Post
among other things says that the Bour-
bon Democratic organs breakfast, lunch,
and dine off the race question. They are
afraid Of the negro" When and whereP
The race question has been the diet of the
Republican papers and stumpers since the
surrender at Appomattox. For moro than
twenty years it was the principal political
thunder of the Republican party, which
fooled the colored people INTO voting the
Republican ticket by false claims and
promises Of political perferment, scarcely
one of which has been kept. 10 stirred the
northern heart almost to mutiny by in
famous stories OF oppression of colored
people in the South without the smallest
fragment of truth as foundation. II
stuck to the lies so long that some believed
them true, but when the facts became
known therace question as an issue died,
and as a consequence the Republican
party suffered. II Is the Republican party
that Is afraid of the negro. IL Is afraid
because the negroes South and many North,
becoming educated and seeing how they
have been fooled for political purposes
only, are leaving the Republican party.

adjustment of an inebriate asylum. In order
10 aid them In arriving at correct conclu-
SION as TO how ID should be maintained |
have two suggestions TO offer, and l think
First. As the Commonwealth sells the
licenses to the men who deal ont that
which makes inebriates the cost Of the in
stitution might very properly be borne by
the public from the license revenues.
Second. Those who thus sell IL may
and / think should be made to-bear the
burden. II is they who make the profit on
the article which drives men TO that con-
dition, and out of the profits thus made
they should be taxed for tho support OF
