NEGRO DEMOCRATS.

The negroes of New York State
are joining the Democratic party
Att recentconvention consisting Of
two hundred delegates aplatform
was adopted, one of the planks
of which is as follows:
"The Democratic party. is the poor
mans party; it is the exponent of
labor, which is our lot. We are
consumers. We have no place in
the protected manufactures. The
key to the tariff that contains the
solution of all the problems is in
the interest of labor To this the
Democratic party is committed.
The day of sycophancy and
trucking and sentimental politics
has passed. The demand of the
hour is for men; men with strong
convictions; men to develop an
educational citizenship; new men
with new ideas suited to a new
era" !"
A resolution adopted by the
same body reads thus:
aThere are to-day IN our country
4, 100000 legal colored voters. We
believe that it is neither sound
politics nor good craftsmanship
that they should unalterably
attach themselves to one party,
and base their demands on the
needs, wants, and desires of the
negro rather than of the citizens,
and that the accident of color
should now control the way in
which men should vote"
Of this new departure our
generally level-headed contem-
orary, the Columbia Register,
says:
cit is evident that the Republican
party is rapidly losing its grip SO
far as the negro vote is concerned.
When the negroes of New York
cut loose from it their brethren in
the South will sooD follow suit"
We can't sympathize with the
aspirations of our contemporary

oUTLoOK FOR COTTON.

The government report on cotton
was published on last Friday. 1t
estimates the reduction in cotton

round numbers. supposing the
seasons this year to be as good as
last year, the production per acre
the same. we will havethe following
figures
Production, 1891, 100000
Less Is per cent, 1,44O,OOO
Production, 1892, 100000
1t tdoesn't seem probable that in
1892 we can have another phenome-
nally good cotton year, and it is the
impression that 16per cent.
is too small an estimate of the re-
duction, of cotton acreage. Such
being the case, 100000 bales are
very conservative fgnres, and it
looks as if cotton ought to go up
in the sweet by and by.

"The Beeats."

The late Mr.. Conington, professor
of Latin in the University of Oxford,
was noted for. his prodigious memory.
At very early age it began to show it
self. When he was child of four or
thereabouts he was sleeping one night i'll
the same room with relative, when. at
the dead of night, his voice was to be
heard crying out in the darkness from
his little cot in the corner:
"Uncle! Uncle! I know the Begats.
Uncle-The what? Go to sleep, my
boy, you are dreaming.
Child know the Begats. Listen!
And he began: abraham begat Isaac
and Isaac begat jacob and Jacob begat
JUDAH" and so on to the end, some
forty-two generations, without Luis

arose to speak atthat place he shut

eye or not she does not know. He
stood in this attitude for minute
or 80, the ladies in the meantime
making such remarks as this:
aWhy thatold thing can't speak"
aCau it talk?" ''Isn't it ugly" etc.
But not more than five words had
been spoken when the old thing
had captured ladies and all. They
were completely carried away with
his wit and bonhommie, his logic,
