EDITORIAL NOTES.

ceremonies at New York were
more pleasing TO Cleveland aud
Stevenson than the election re.
turns in November will prove tO
be.
The question before the people
of this country is not whether a
negro is as good as a white man,
but whether every man emitted to
cast vote is entitled to have that
/ vote counted as cast.
Ex- President Cleveland opposes
the election bill bee luse it would
force the Southern States TO hold
flee and fair elections, which OF
course would give Mr.. Cleveland
not ghost OF show for the
presidency.
No more harm would come to
The white people of the United
States by counting the colored
votes cast for Harrison and Reid
In the State of Louisiana, than
will come to them by the the
counting of the votes of colored
men in Massachusetts.
Congress passed bill prohibits
ing the building of residences in
alleys less than thirty feet wide,
and which has not been provided
with fight, sewerage and water
mains; and also passed hill to
prohibit the use OF one horse cars
in Washington after Jan. 1, 1893.
Can it be possible that the
stronger than anarchist language
of third term Cleveland at his
ratification meeting respecting
manufacturers, urged the anarch-
ist to use the strongest means of
asslnation to get rid of manutac-
turer Frick ? We hope not.
Cleveland says of manufacturers
that "they are thieves and rob-
bers," Berkman the assassin says
"they are the enemies of the peo-
ple." The ex~president-third-
termer and the anarchist then are
together, The only difference is the
thlrd-termer uses the strongest
language.
II is now in order for the dema~
gogue democratic party to pass
resolutions Of sympathy for Berk-
man, the assassin of Mr. Frick.
They have done all they could to
iuhame the passions of the strik-
ers everywhere and an indorse-
ment of the act of Berkman would
be in line with their arguments
and position.
There are several State elections
to come off this side of the Mo-
vember general election, for in
stance, Alabama elect State off
GERS first Monday in Angus; Ar
kansas first Monday in September;
Georgia the first Wednesday in
October; Maine second Monday
in September, and Vermont the
first Tuesday in September.
The Missouri democratic con
vention congratulated the negroes
for what the convention called ga
growing tendency toward freedom
ot political thought and actiou,''
which means of course that they
are intending to flatter the negro
into voting the democratic ticket.
They will fail of course, for the
negroes can not vote for The demo.
Gratis.
Benjamin Harrison is not re"
formed presidential candidate and
a newly made husband who has
to make q vulgar show of his
cOnjugal affections to prove the
sincerity of his reformation. On
the contrary his whole life has
been spent In the open sunlight Of
public opiuion, is exemplary in
every particular, aud furnishes
proper guide for the youth with
lofty ambition, as well as a pat
tern for the head Of every Ameri
can family to follow.
The difference When the c'l-
ored cotton pickers of Arkansas
made strike tor living wages the
landowners lynched the three lead
ers. " hen white laborers strika
for excessive and extortiona'e
wages in Pennsylvania white au-
archlsts assassinate the manufac- |
turer in open day light. And
yet tie negro is despised and |
would be starved to death were it |
possible for white men so to do.
The democrats have cut off !
more thirdrartyism than they can
chaw, and Mr.. s. Z. Sbeerin, Sec
retary of the demo cratic national
committee does not know what to
