THERE is a good deal of sound horse
sense in the plan for colonizing large
number of negroes on the Pacific coast.
Senator Stanford Is said TO be at the
head Of the movement, and it is pre-
dicted that within the next twelve
months fifty thousand or more oolored
people may find employment and home
ia California. At any rate the scheme is
under full Roadway and will have a fair
trial. New York Herald.
Fred Douglass has scheme for pen
sioning the negroes which is equally
sensible and equally feasible. There
have been a number Of schemes for the
alleged benefit of the negro, all Of which
either defrauded and deceived him, like
the Freedman's Bank, or tricked him
into voting the Republican ticket, solid.
The negro is either q citizen, capable
and willing to take care of himself like
any other citizen, or he Is
not II he Isl full citizen and free
man, then he docs not need, and should
not have, any special privileges. any
special legislation not applicable to every
other class. II he is not, then he should
not have voice In the affairs of the
government and in the levying Of taxes
equal to that of real citizen. Douglass
contends that the negro did not enjoy
the benefits of his labor while a slave,
and, hence, should have a pension
now The negro came here as a
savage, and after two hundred years,
ole generation of which has been passed
In freedom, he is scarcely able to earn
his living. He would have been a
savage yet II he had not been tanned and
trained in slavery. Both propositions
are foolish One because the negro has
more than full equivalent for his labor
In citizenship he could not possibly have
earned or established for himself, and the
other, because he will not 60 to California
The Republican party considers him too
important a political factor here. And he
has not energy and independence sufi-
clent to 60 of his own accord.

In making such q statement The

The expenses OF this government are
about $3.50. 600, 900 per snnum that sum
cannot be raised from internal revenue,
q part of it must come from import

vocates the abolition Of all duties, hence
the conclusion is inevitable, that the

trade would be great boon
as the News proves free trade in sugar
to be, but it is impossible just now. There

THE miscslculations Of the protection.
lists are proverbial. On the election Of
Harrison we we're to have prosperity and
plenty. On the first Of July we were to
have a tin plate boom Of new industry,
and last, but not the least, the sugar
bounty, according to Major Mckinley was
not to involve an expenditure Of more than
$1,000. coo. The estimate Of the Treasury
Department places the expenditure for
bounties on sugar for the 6rst year at
81, 900, 600. or nearly so per cent. more
than Mckinley, the great political
economist said It would be per year. This
is not for one year alone, but it is to be q
continuous burden on the people. The
Republicans admit that protectionism has
failed to establish the sugar industry
and now they say they are trying tbs
bounty plan. There is no reason why tn,
sugar-grower should burden the peopl,
with a bounty than the wheat. corn
peach, buckwheat, lax or any othei
grower. II the sugar industry grows, a

THE GREAT AMERICAN expLAlNER.


Commissioner Raum is always an inter
esting person. He is never more inter
esting than when he is explaining some
thing. BE frequently explains because
he is one Of the peculiar products Of the
political situation who is always in q
predicament which needs explanation.
He has been explaining something or
other since he cast his lot with this ad
minlstration, in fact he began explaining
years ago under q previous administra-
tion very similar to the one which is Civ
ing this country SO much glory now.
Raum explained about that refrigera
tor stock, about those notes Of Agent
Lemon, about Lemons cases advanced,
about young Raum's sales of clerkships
about keeping a man on the government
pay-rolls to groom his fast horses, about
that land deal, about many minor mat
ters OF official misconduct, anyone Of
which was sufficient to procure his re-
moval. But now he explains q social
matter.
"shoe Box Miller is an ex- convict
whose identity was developed when he
courted and. attempted to marry Miss
Moaby Of Washington. Miss Mosby s
father delayed the marriage and Miss
Mosby's brother looked up Miller's
record
Now Commissioner Kaum explains
that miller was introduced to him by
Congressman Atkinson, one Of the Re
publican Representatives from West
Virginia, and number OF Wheeling
business men, who purchased block Of
stock in his Universal Refrigerating
Company, Raum was tsvorably impressed
with Miller and made him director Of
the company"
Precisely SO Raum Is as innocent as 3
lamb He was anxious to hoat the re-
frigerAtor stosk, so he made Miller "a
director, then q manager He did not
know anything about Miller but he did
not need to know anything, for the
eother fellows" were ito put up the
money, and when the company failed
they too would be holding the bag, moi
Raum. Hence, there was really no need
for Raum to know whether Miller was {
suitable person to hold honest stock in al
honest company or not.
Besides that Raum goes on explaining
that MILLER had a political standing
which recommended him to his goo'
grRces. He had been placed OF tht
stump ia Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiani
and Michigan by the Republican Commit
tee and had performed such efficient ser
vice that he had received the persona
thanks Of the President"
What kind Of political standing ex
Convict Miller had what sort Of eff
cient service" he had committed, Rsur
does not consider it necessary or polite t
explain. But he does say that, undo
the circumstances, he, (Raum). ought nc
70 be blamed for innocentlY imposin
Miller on other people, as he himself ha
been imposed upon. Miller became th
manager Of the Refrigerating Company
! Chicago and only severed his conne'
ton a short time ago when his hacker
withdrew their money from the concern
All Of this is very Raumey it is jul
like Raum; 1t is precisely the sort {
thing Raum has been doing all alonI
. But he still remains, fast and prominer
