BOYNE WATER DAY.

This is the two hundred and second
anniversary of the battle of the Boyne
Water in Ireland and there's going to be
an Orangemen's parade in New York
City, the first since the memorable riot,
as well as more or less activity in RHODE
ISLAND. 1t is proof of the wonderful
smoothing away of old world jealousies
in the Republic that no trouble at all is
expected in New York, while the boys of
Battle Row in Belfast and the partisans
In half dozen Canadian cities are bang
ing away at each others heads as mer-
rily as ever.
From another point of view the parade
is good thing to have go off smoothly.
For number of years after the riot of
1871 the Orangemen of New York
wished to parade, but were not permit
ted to do 30 by the local authorities for
fear of riots. This was outrageous. If
the Ribbonmen were permitted to
parade on March II, why should not the
Orangemen be allowed to parade on
July 12? And why was it not the bust
ness of the local authorities to protect
them? Indeed the NEWS knows one de-
voted and ardent man of Scotch cove
nanting blood, but pronounced Ribbon
ist sympathies-a queer mixture-who
felt this unjust discrimination so keenly
that he actually marched with the
Orangemen in New York on the day of
the riot, proceeding not unattended
with danger.
The New York mobs have not forgot
ten how many of their number got 'well
shooted," as German militia officer ex-
planned, for interfering with the Orange
procession. All the same, we would
not advise any enthusiastic Orangeman
to go into one of the 1000 and over Tam
many saloons of New York and sing:
bullet from the Irish came,
II grazed King williams arm;
We thought His Majesty was slain,
But IL did him little harm.
For 1t is very hot and uncomfortable
in the hospital this weather.

Cyrus w. Fields death coming SO
close upon his sons dishonor, is a pa
thetic end to life useful above most
and honorable.
Mr.. Fields name will be connected
most closely in his countrymen's mem
ory with his long and desperate struggle
to lay the Atlantic cable and bring two
continents into touch with each other. II
was task that called for faith, patience
and that rarer quality, the gift of in
spring confidence in other men.
Two of his brothers were con-
nected with him in the project,
Matthew Field and David Dudley
Field, who was counsel for the cable
company, but IL was Cyrus Field who
interested American capitalists, who
went TO Newfoundland aud TO England
TO secure concessions, who persevered
through failure after failure and even
through the bitter disappointment that
followed the brief success of 1858, when
the cable was laid but parted after a
few weeks operation.
Through the disastrous period of the
war Field never lost courage. and no
sooner had the re-establishment Of peace
restored courage 10 business enterprises
than he was about his daring plan again

WHITE SOVEREIGNTY.

IN Census Bulletin No. 1877 are given
tables showing the population by color,
rex and general nativity in the year
1890 of fonr States, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
The figures have peculiar interest, be-
Ing the first yet given Of really far
Southern States, Virginia and West
Virginia, which figured in No. 1877, be-
ing border States.
In the four indubitably Southern
States under discussion, the aggregate
white population is 2,720, ,696, of whom
foreign whites of less than five years
residence in the country cannot vote.
The total colored population, practically
III natives. is 2,277,185. These inter-
sstingly close figures may be tabulated
as follows:

WHY NOT A CONFERENCE.

The report that Manager Frick will
start up the Homestead mills with non,
union men tomorrow has very prob
ably as little foundation as the flying
rumors of the approach Of more Pnker.

on the qui cive since the battle of last
Wednesday.
If the report should prove true II
must be said that the Carnegie corn.
pany is within its legal rights and out
side the bounds of prudence and ex-
pediency. 1t is impossible to question
the right of the employer to
hire in open market,-and it Is
impossible to overestimate the folly,
the selfshness and, in spite of
the events of the past week, the injus-
tice of turning adrift the men whose
homes are in Homestead, who have built
the town and who, deprived on sudden
of employment, must lose in many cases
some share of their savings through ina
bility to dispose of their holdings to ad-
vantage.
1t has been reported, since the reor-
ganization of the Advisory Committee,
upon what authority the confusion of
accounts makes it impossible to deter
mine, that if the company will recognize
the union the men will agree to a
fair compromise on wages. If this be
true refusal on the part of the man
agement to meet their employees frankly
and fairly would be visited with all but
universal condemnation. Candid dis
cussion is the only way to settle labor
troubles. If the men are ready to look
through the company's eyes in consider
ing an equitable rate between the mar
ket price of the product and the cost of
the labor, the company loses all possible
excuse for refusing to look through the
mems eyes in the matter Of standing by
their organization.
Without trying arbitration first Man
ager Frick will only fasten upon himself
in the eyes of a wider public the reputa-
ton the strikers have given him, if he
resorts to extreme measures. Justice
and generosity both demand an honest
attempt to agree as to the next step at
Homestead.

practically all Republicans. The whites
are practically al psmocData If the
colored majority in these three States
had their rights protected rs guaranteed
by constitutional amendment, these are
the results we should be likelyto see:
Two colored Republicans in the United
States Senate from South Carolina and
four white ones from Georgia and Flor
ida; about an even number of white and
colored representatives in the lower
branch of Congress; about. an equal
number of local mayors, sheriffs and the
like, but considerable preponderance
of white judges and district attorneys,
as the colored race has fewer legal mem
6ers. f
Instead Of this we see no colored u. s.
Senator, only an occasional colored
representative, practically no color
ed local officers and the citizens Of
the chief town in the State with
nearly 80 per cent. more whites
than blacks kicking at the federal
appointment of colored Postmaster I!
This result is brought about by divers
means. Hamburg massacres are some
what out of flavor, though the chief hero
of one was honored with seat in the
Senate of the United States from the
State of South Carolina. More in favor
are such means as the tissue ballot, an
insufficient number of inconveniently
placed polling booths, the device of
trumped mp challenges and many others,
intimidation being always held in re-
serve for use when necessary.
Democrats cry out against the Federal
Elections bill and for "free ballot and
white domination" How can free
ballot and white supremacy exist side
by side in State where colored voters
are 30 per cent. more numerous than the
white? Does not the greatest good of
the greatest number require the protec-
ton of the rights of the majority

ment make some effort to protect its
weaker citizens in the exercise of their
constitutional rights when these are in
