claimed sweet land Of liberty" Acol-7
ored preacher named Barnett raved
about the cruelties to Southern negroes
in the stereotyped style Of the Chicago
Inter Ocean sixteen years ago. Rev.
John q. Jewifer, colored, at the Quincy
church made long sermon and said:
''You all have read of Alice Mitchell and
Mics johnson cutting the throat OF Freda
Ward. There is no gainsaying the
power of heredity. 1t is possible indeed
that the day of her conception saw Ku
klux crime done by her father" In 1865
the negro owned nothing, to-day he pays
taxes on $lOOOOOO00" 1t will be seen
that the minister fails to state the fact
that the murdered woman was white and
that the enormous property the colored
people now own in the South is due to
the fair play of the Democratic party
If it were dishonest they could not have
any property to be tsxedif what Tourgee
and his dupee say is true that the Dem
ocrats run everything in the South.
In the South the colored people have
their own colleges, churches and news
papers and grow rich as fast as any other
class. The southern colored men do not
complain; it is cheap ignoramuses, white
and black in the North who groan about
oppression and violation. Of the civil
rights bill The education Of the colored
man is making him Democratic and this
causes the Inter-Ocean and few noto-
riety seekers to howl over the loss to the
Republican party of the colored vote.
Such literary and political mountebanks
as AL. Tourgee should be smitten in the
head with brick without straw. The
colored people under Democratic ad-
ministrations are receiving On the aver
age as good treatment as the whites.

BosroN Pilot: The Queen of England,
though ex-oficio defender of the
Faith" is not what one would call q
bigoted defender Of it, where affairs Of
state are concerned. Thus when her
grand daughter Sophie, sister of Emperor
William, was married to: the Crown
Prince Of Greece, and it was necessary
that she should join the Greek Church,
both Empress Frederick, the young lady's
mother, and Empress Victoria, her grand
mother, wrote sending their approval and
blessing, the former saying: "You are
quito right. Your children will belong
to the Greek faith, and therefore their
mother ought to hold the same belief"

NO SERIOUS DIFFERENCES.

It is edifying to note that the acerbity
which was manifested by the differing
Irish factions in parliament is dying out.
The activity which Legislative labor
caused brought them closer together and
it became apparent that there really was
no serious difference except as to the
means. They have discovered that they
are mutually necessary and that it is folly
to court the favor of either Of the English
parties at the cost of the aid of their
Irish brethren. The fact is very plain,
the Tory and Liberal parties in England
exist in a nation of their own and either
will aid Ireland when it's own interests
are thereby best subserved. Ireland,
though it has sturdily maintained that it
is nation, is not yet recognized as such
by other nations that have an established
autonomy. Its first aim is then, TO Sc
cure for itself acknowledged national in
dependence. Home Rule is but move
in that direction.
Under it's present circumstances no
common sense standard of politics would
require it to ally itself permanently with
either of the English political parties.
It has only one cardinal and inhexible
principle--Ireland's rights. It is clear
that the English parties view Ireland's
struggle as mere feature that is appre-
ciated only when it can be made auxil-
iary to party supremacy. Simple politi-
cal prudence demands that the Irish Ma
tionalists will cheerfully cooperate with
any ally that presents the best prospects
of obtaining for them their just demands,
but NO coalition, except among them
selves, that is inseperab]e is required.
This system is that which is recognized
in all vel! conducted assaults whether in
war or politics, accept aid wherever Of
fered but so shrewdly that the possible
defeat Of the ally does not drag the as
sisted party down with it, The opera-
tion of English political phenomena dur
ing the last dozen years has been SO
eecen trio that Irishmen cannot safely tie
themselves to either party as, though de-
feat may not be fatal to the English par
ty, it would be we'll nigh ruinous to the
Irish. The greet necessity OF the present
hour is united, determined Irish party
ready to take advantage OF the crisis
which none but the most obtuse must
see is near at hand. ....

THE COMING STRUGGLE.

The political battle of '92 draws nearer
day by day and promises to be one of the
most interesting and exciting in the ma
TONS history, not.s much because OF the
issues that divide the old parties but be-
cause of the uncertain quantity of the
new or Peoples party. What the latter
can accomplish is matter of conjecture
what 1t will accomplish remains to be
seen. Other movements similar in ma
ture, during the past thirty years. have
taken root, for time their growth was
marvellous, but the reforms they set about
to accomplish, in some instances, were
visionary and beyond reach, while in
others display of radicalism-a certain
disregard for all conditions, social, re-
ligious and otherwise has cost them
much and in their hurry and zeal to reach
q desired end without considering the
various interests and objects that con-
front them, without that due conserv-
atism which teaches respect for all classes
and creeds and binds more closely a
union between the various and conflict
ing clements that make up humanity,
every movement of this nature has died
in it's infancy. Will history repeat itself
again? Will the Peoples party of to-day
fare better than any of its predecessors?
Is there better cause for third party
now than during the period mentioned?
These are questions that will come home
to every man before he casts his next
ballot articularly to the man without
q party.
Looking over the field IN clear and
impartial manner We can see no hope for

WINSTON FOR SECOND PLACE.

Minnesota's delegation to the National
Democratic convention will be instructed
to cast it's ballot towards the nomination
of Grover cleveland for President, That
is matter already settled beyond perad-
venture. Has Minnesota no fayorite son
to offer for the vice presidency? Unques-
tionably she has many who would ill the
the position well-creditable alike to both
state and nation. The Democracy of the
North Star state does not acknowledge the
superiority of any state in the union over
Minnesota. New York, Massachusetts.
Illinois. Iowa or Nebraska may have tav-
orite sons who deserve we'll of the nation,
but it is also emphatically true that
Minnesota is not childless when political
recognition is justly demanded. The pres
ent Mayor Of Minneapolis is represen-

tual development istypical of that broad

activity that keeps on the crest of the
wave of advancing public opinion. He

and has BUSINESS interests in Virginia
and Minnesota that unite the east and
west. 1t is but a few years ago that
Grover Cleveland sat in the mayors chair
in Buffalo, N. =, and it is not so long ago
that Gov. Boyd, of Nebraska, sat in the
MAYORS chair in Omaha. The former

Gently entered upon his duties as Gov
ernor, and no doubt will make a model

now mentioned for the first position in

perhaps, has more personal, practical
knowledge of governmental affairs than
Mavor Winston. With the case thus
briefly stated, the ticket that suggests
itself as embodying elements OF
strength calculated to complete the pro-
cess Of national unifcation and to give a
trinmph to the national democracy in
November is: For president, Grover
cleveland, Of New York; for vice-presi-
7ant, Philip B. Winston, of Minnesota.

BALFouR's bill for the government has
disappeared suddenly from the public
gaze. The derision it excited in all quar-
ters might we'll make him doubt his
statesman]ike qualities. He has learned
that an elected county board in ireland
is not creature to be removed by an
English grand jury arbitrarily with the
consent of the Irish people or their many
friends in England. If this is the best
measure of justice that the Tory party
has for Ireland it should be removed
from power at once.

DYNAMITE explosions in private houses,
such as occurred recently in France,
make people stop and reflect on the
spread of sociallstic doctrines. The
masses are logical; they carry premises
to their conclusions. Principles are pow

the results will show themselves in chine
and immortality. There is more logic in
dynamite than most people imagine, un-
til they are blown up. "..

The address dated March ~, signed by

attention to the fact that Arch
bishop Corrigan was misled and Dr.. EN-
met of the Irish Federation was too i'm
pulsive in calling q meeting in New York

Ireland, was not without result. The
meeting was held Monday evening and
there was some disquietude at it, occa-
stoned by few Of DR.. McGlynn's friends.
Archbishop Corrigan has attended
many meetings since his trouble with
DR.. McGlynn and has never been in
suited by good Irishman. He and DR..
McGlynn differ upon ecclesiastical mat

tics whether American or Irish every
Irishman has right demanded by the
state and accorded by the Church to adj
vocate his ideas vigorously. His common
sense is assumed. This will deter him
from aiding either the Redmond or Nc
Carthy factions until they clasp hands in
a fraternal spirit that will augur we'll for
successful Irish Home Rule when
achieved by united people No attempt
to coerce men can be successful no mat
ter how dignifed the dignitary is who
attempts it. By keeping the spirit alive
and waiting for harmony at home the lat
