Mixed Schools and Marriages Advocated
by the Republicans.

Every voter who is Oh who has been Dem
ocrat. every Farmers Alliance man, in fact
every one who has the interests of the South
at heart should read the article below. 1t is
an extract from the National Republican
Washington, d. g., (the official organ of the
Republican party) published in its issue OF
July Sd, 1891, while the force bill was before
Congress. The article is so insulting to the
Southern people, threatening as it does our
whole social and political system, that it
would seem, policy alone if nothing else
would have restrained its publication. But
it indicates to what extent the rabid Repub-
1licans will go, even to the destruction of a
whole section Of our common country-in or
der that their party may be perpetuated in
power
full force over the South and various Demo
cratic StrOnghOlds up North. we may conf
IDENTIFY look for different state of political
affairs than now exists. New York City will
then return several more Republican Con-
gressmen than at present, while more than
twenty negro Representatives from the South
will render the Republican control Of the flu
ture Congresses absolutely secure and safe.
AS Mississippi South Carolina and Florida
contain large majority of negroes, and as
there are enough white Republicans in Ala
bama, Arkansas, North Carolina and Louis
lana, acting IN concert with the negroes, to
put these States into the Republican line, we
can confidently look in the future for seven
Southern States to be reliably Republican.
This means gain of fourteen Senators and
at least twenty Representatives to the Repub-
lican party.
When through the operation of the Lodge
national election law six or seven Southern
States shall discard Democratic rule, we
shall look confidently to see some measures
of Justice done the blacks, who have been so
long defrauded of their rights. Heavy taxes
should be laid upon the property of the whites
to develope and extend the public school sys-
TEN in those States.
Separate schools for the two races should
be abolished, and the plan of bringing the
the youth of both colors into close and equal
relations in schools and churches given fair
trial, as one of the most potent elements to
break down the detestable Bourbonism of the
South The right of the black to bear arms
should be guaranteed to him, as we'll as all
the social rights Intended to be secured HIM
by the passage of the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution. The State
laws against the intermarriage of the races
should be repealed. and any determinations
against the black in the matters of learning
trades or obtaining employment should be
made criminal Offense, while the cOlored
mans right to hold Office should be sacredly
protected and recognized. A few years Of
this policy will solve the race problem salts
factorily.

THE NEWS OF THE DAY,

Near Cato, N. Y, a terrible tragedy occur
red, a boy while cutting bundles for thresh-
ing machine, accidentally cut the feeders
hand, which SO Infatuated him that he imme-
diately caught up the lad and threw him into
the rapidly revolving cylinder, where he was
ground to atoms before any one present could
raise hand to prevent him. The brother of
the unfortunate lad witnessed the bloody
deed, and lost no time in wreaking vengence
upon the murderer. He felled him to the floor
with blow from pitchfork and while he
lay writing from the effect thereof the broth
er repeatedly plunged the fork through his
body, not ceasing until he was dead. All the
threshing hands stood by and witnessed the
two tragic deaths, which occurred so quickly
that they were powerless to interfere.
That strange freak of nature known as ''the
Siamese twins" has, it appears, been repeated
in Orissa. The "Orissa TWINS are described
as two little Uriya girls Of about five years
old. when last heard of, says the London
News, they were leaving by steamer for this
country on their way to the Worlds Fair at
Chicago They are firmly joined together and
if one is fed both are satisfied When they
were in early infancy the native villagers
looked upon them as the incarnation Of the
devil, and their parents were boycotted by
their caste of people. The Siamese twins,
Chang and Eng, were, it will be remembered,
OF the male sex. They were born in 1871 and
died in America within two hours of each
other, in January, 1874.
Henry Georges single tax organ, The
Standard. suspended publication this week.
Mr. George founded the paper in 1880 as the
organ of the single tax idea but in 1890 with
drew all his interest, since which time the
Standard has been conducted by VIM. 7. Gro
asdall and later by Louis F. Post. Mr..

AS in 1884, when Cleveland was
elected and the returns were coming
in, the Republican leaders instruc-
ted their party to ''claim everything" SO
now with the hope that some straw may
drift their way. The Third party in the
South and West seems to have thrown their
speculations into wild confusion. Their
most recent claim is that Arkansas with a
little ''coaxing" can be counted on for Har
rison in November. But the State elections
held last Monday have knocked this proph-
esy again into pie. Though there were four
tickets in the field, yet the Democratic
majority is little less than 50, 600. 1t seems
that the Republicans no sooner hoist their
black flag Of prophesy over Southern State
than they have to haul it down again and
move on to new camping ground.

Rev. Sam Small Shot.

TOUGHS BREAK UP MEETING AND THE EVAN
GELIsT Is SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.
A telegram from Vincenness, Indiana, to
the Philadelphia Record last Tuesday, says
Rev. Sam Small. the noted Evangelist, was
shot In the thigh last night at Hazleton, IL
miles south of this city. The Prohibitionists
have been holding meetings at Hazleton, and
Small was invited to speak. At the evening
session crowd of toughs rushed in and broke
up the meeting.
Mr. Shall went to his hotel and was
about to retire, when shot was fired through
the window, hitting the Evangelist in the
thigh. An attempt,i is being made to arrest
the perpetrators. Mr.. Small is resting easily
to-day.

Just now the Republican press is trying
to direct the attention of the country to
the elections in Maine and Vermont, class
ing them as doubtful States, with the pur-
pose that when both elections are overland
those States have gone Republican as they
most assuredly will go-endeavor to make
of it campaign capital, as indicating how
the remaining doubtful States may be ex-
pected to cast their votes. This political
fake, though ingenious, will hardly misslead
the people. No body has ever expected
either of these States to cast their votes IN
any other way than they have heretofore
been cast. With as much good grace could
the Democrats put forward Texas as piy-
otal State and direct public gaze to the re-
suits that would undoubtedly follow an
election IN that State

THE WATER SUPPLY CONTAMINATED

1t was in the harbor section thatthe cholera
first appeared, and there it probably would
have been confined but for the great disaster
of the contamination OF the city's water sun
ply. The Polanders who succumbed to the
plague were taken to barracks on a branch
or the Elbe above the city. The appalling
folly was there committed Of allowing the
water, etc. which they used to enter the
stream without being disinfected.

NO AMERICAN VICTIMS.

1t is gratifying to be able to say that not an
American has fallen victim to the pesti-
lence. Very few now remain upon the Con-
tinent. London is filled with them and all
are clamoring anxiously to get home The
Presidents proclamation was read with dis
may. 1t was interpreted at first to mean that
all passenger ships would be placed in quar-
antine for 20 days. Everybody took it as a
sentence to three weeks Imprisonment within
sight of home. There was great relief when
several of the steamship companies announced
to-day that they would carry no more immi-
grants and that the quarantine restriction
would thus be avoided.

TRUE TO IT'S MASTERS.

As might be expected, the Topeka
Capital the especial mouthpiece of
plutocracy, rejoices over the defeat
Of the snti-option bill, and glorifes
the virtues of the grain gamblers.
This is what it says:
The antiOptiOn bill is dead and every raiser Of
corn and wheat should give thanks therefor.
It Is the speculation at Chicago and other CEN
ters that equslIzes prices within small fraction
the year round and insureS for the farmer
about as good price just after harvest as six
months later.
Upon the theory that price is gov
erned by the law Of supply and de-
mand, man with a thimbleful of
brains must see that the market
would be as much affected by the
supply of fictitious as of real grain.
But then Republican editors are sup
posed to sustain their masters even
at the sacrifice of sense and honor.

THE CORONER,s YERDICT.


PITTsBURG, Pa, August The inquest into
the deaths resulting from the riot at Homestead
was concluded yesterday before Coroner Nc.
DoWell.
The return In the cases Of the seven strikers
who were killed reads almost alike In each case
That on the death Of SilaS Wayne, says that he
came to his death while In company Of others In
unlawful assembly upon the property Of Carne-
gle, PhippS & Co.'s steel works, Mlffn township,
TO prevent the landing Of two model baEgeS,
loaded with PlnkertOn guards to protect said
property, and being struck from missile from
q cannon, which had been taken by said unlaw-
full assembly to the Pittsburg side Of the Monon-
gahelS river and DISCHARGED by them, striking
and instantly killing the said Silas Wayne, and
We recommend the said unlawful assembly to be
certified to the September session OF the grand
jury.
In the cases OF three Plnkerton men similar
returns were made In each. In the case OfO. j.
OOnnors, 1t was caused from shock and exhaus-
ton, due to gunshOt wound In the right arm,
he being shot by bail from an unlawful assem-
blage and ''that shooting was done by party or
parties unknown, with felonlOuS Intent. and we
recommend that said unlawful aSSemblsge be
certified to the September sessions Ofthe grand
jury"
No attempt was made by the jury in any OF the
ten cases to designate the person by whom the
fatal shots were fred, further than to declare
that there was an unlawful aSSemblage on the
Carnegie property, which led to battle.
OfCourse the crowd Of Pinkerton
thugs was a perfectly lawful assem-
blsge according to this coroner's jury.
This affords lsboring men one more
object lesson illustrating the senti-
ments Of public officials and adher-
ents to the old political parties. 1t
seems that even organized labor,
with all it's facilities for study Of Ia
Dor problems, can learn who its
friends and enemies are only in the
school of bitterest experience, and
both parties have furnished some
very successful teachers in this school
recently. "Whom the gods would
