The New York World is performing q
real service to the country by obtaining
the views of Legislators in the various
states upon the Presidential nominees
for their respective parties. The News
has already quoted the Worlds review
of the New York legislative, which stood
overwhelmingly for Blaine and Hill.
1t has followed this up by canvass at
Trenton, N. j., from which it appears
that, out of total of forty eight Demo-
Gratis expressing an opinion, Grover
Cleveland was the favorite of thirty-one,
Hill of nine, Leon Albeit of six, and
Whitney and Gray of one each. On the
Republican side two candidates only
were named, Blaine and Harrison, the
former receiving twelve votes, the lat
ter four. The World in tabulatipg its
own figures made a mistake of three in
Harrison's favor, which is easily dis
coverable from the contest and the Re
publican senators were unanimously for
Blaine.
If it appears that Blaine is the favor
ite in every state, and Hill only in his
own. and if Cleveland is in the lead
everywhere except where he is best
known-but we leave the Democrats to
wrestle with their problems. The Repub-
lican course, at least, is clear.

1t is said that a colored Democratic
club is to be organized in Providence
this evening. About Il score of names
have been signed TO "a paper which
amounts TO "A declaration of Democratic
belief, and it is confidently expected that
about that number will be present.
a colored Democratic club A club
of the sons of men who were enslaved
by the very men who now control the
Democratic party. II is an absurdity,
or would be, if it were not so lamentable
in its possibilities.
There is now in the Democratic dele
CATION in the Congress of the United
States clear majority of Southern
members. Both the Senate caucus and
the House caucus of that party are ruled
by ex-confederates. Washington is full
the departments were full under Cleve-
land-of men who had fought to keep
the black man q slave and to build up on
this continent new republic with black
slavery as its corner store.
But slavery is thirty years away.
True, yet there are things nearer than
that which should make any man with
single drop Of warm African blood in
his veins hesitate long before signing his
name to any declaration of Democratic
principles. There are the murders and
whippings in Southern swamps, the
women outraged, the families left de-
fenceless, the shedding Of innocent
blood. There are the convict camps in
which worse than slaverys horrors are
still perpetrated. How many men sit
in Congress to-day who would have
given way to others, if the Republican
doctrine of free ballot and fair count
had prevailed in the South? When JUS
tice is done TO the black voter it will be
time enough TO talk of colored Demo
cratic clubs.
Of course there may be colored men
who are honest believers in free trade
and free silver and are joining the Dem
ocratic party to-day, letting the past be
much the look of gross ingratitude, as of
man who, when pulled from q pit,
should strike at the man who saved him.
But if report speaks truly there are more
of the new converts who have wavered
in their allegiance to Republicanism be-
cause of a scarcity of loaves and fishes.
OF these indeed there is never enouph
20 go around. But, let us ask the colored
men, where the Republican party has
named ten of their race to office, has
the Democratic party named one?
Negro killers plenty, negros very few.
But whether greed of Office or love of
free trade or merely restless desire for
change be responsible for this little at
tempt at organizing democratic club,
the wiser colored men of Providence
will have nothing to do with it.

that church and empire can impose on a
nation, would be a revolution, with the
Nihilist leaders at the front-Worcester

The chairman of the Tammany General
Committee told his hearers Friday night
that they must refresh their memories
and renew their studies OF the fundamen-
tai principles of the party. Renew their

financial panic abroad that affected our

marked stringency during most of the

nectcut, for instance, whose industrial
interests are especially dependent on the
tariff provisions shows through the re-
turns of its savings banks that its work

depositors increased by S12.O6l, and their

1t is very remarkable how funny a story
or n remark is when il is told or made by
man with reputation for being humor-
Gus. There was hardly joke ia the Nye-
Burbank entertainment last evening
which the audience would have thought
funny, or perhaps listened TO patiently
from any one else, yet Mr.. Nye and Mr..
Burbank, by their own personalities and
comical ways, clothed them all with
humor and kept the audience roaring with
laughter. 1t is great thing to have a
reputation and TO maintain it by careful
acting.

The pressroom of the News is an inter
esting place these days. One of the men
has wee plump boy of or years who
often comes down with him and shouts
and trots about gaily. His merry voice
comes up through the elevator shaft to the
editorial rooms. Sometimes it is accom-
panied by the bow-wowing of big dog
which must have had the grip. as he is
rather hoarse. Great fun the boy and dog
have watching the stereotyping and print
ing. Interfere with work. Not n bit of

"The best laid schemes &c" Yesterday
morning there was n nice, broad. shallow
puddle. There were also boys. The boys
looked at the puddle, and reflected how
much better the skating would be IL the
sticks and stones were taken out. SO they
waded in and worked, throwing out
blemishes, until the face of the water
looked like mill pond. This morning
there was no ice, and even the water had
disappeared. Such is life.

States took Si3,2J0, 900 worth Of sugar
from the British West Indies and Brit
ish Guiana, Canada's total supply from
those places only amounted To $500, ,0eO.
So serious was this diminution consid-
cred that the Hon. George +. Foster, the
finance minister. was sent on mission
to the Islands in 1890 TO enlarge Canada's
trade if possible. His efforts resulted in
nothing but fiasco, and now the Do
minion sees this country step in aud sue
ceod where it has failed.
Nova Scotia will be the heaviest
sufferer. In 1SS9-90 that province
shipped to the British West Indies and
British Guiana no less than 81 ,435, 900
of the total of $l.700,000 worth of goods
exported to those places. This is
equivalent 10 a trade of So per head OF
the population of the province, and the
new treaty will have the effect of
greatly diminishing, il not completely
destroying, the trade. Prince Edward
Island and New Brunswick will feel the
effects more heavily than Quebec and
Ontario, the West Indian trade being
mostly with the Maritime provinces.
The Liberals have already begun an
attack upon the government for its trade
policy, and it is strange indeed that the
moment when our northern neighbor is
astir over the business sagacity and
-shrewdness of the reciprocity project is
the moment chosen by impetuous Col
Breckinridge for needless onslaught
upon it.

New YORK Democrats are beginning
TO suspect they may have been just a
little too smart in their Senate steal.
They hesitate visibly to push their plans
for turning out the four marked Repub-
licans, because when the first man is
unseated they take upon themselves the
burden of heavy responsibility. If
the Republican senator's should with
draw in body and refuse to sit with
men who are never elected TO the Senate,
even Tammany ruled, New York State
might be unable to close its eyes to the
fact that the game had been carried too
far. And yet, to steal and lose the booty!
The dilemma of Hills followers is per-
picking and pitiable.
