ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
Brakeman DOrman Killed BY the Cars a
Derby Last Night

Brakeman DOrman Killed BY the Cars at
Derby Last Night.
Robert l.. Dorman of 1856 Columbus
avenue, New Haven, a brakeman on the
Wilson Point freight on the New Haven
& Derby road, fell from a freight car
near Derby last night and was killed,
Several cars passed over him, badly
managing the body. Dorman leaves a
widow and two children.
The body of drowned boy has been
found in the Connecticut river below
Wetherstield, having evidently drifted
from far up the river. The bow was
about ~ years old and had brown hair,
The body had apparently been in the
water about week, and was nude, ex-
cept that around the waist was a white
handkerchief with a blue and red bor-
der.
Mrs Knowles, of Loveland street, Mid
dietown, gave her granddaughter a tea
spoonful of rhubarb Tuesday evening.
When it was safely down and she had
taken three spoonfuls herself she noticed
that the liquid was laudanum. The two
lives were saved byprompt use of stom.
ach pump. The laudanum was bought
at a groce:'s and that will be looked
into.
On Sunday last three men started
from Sag Harbor in a sharpe to board a
yacht and were seen to be driven
rapidly eastward and then went out of
sight. Since then the sharpe has been
found, bottom side up. on Shelter Island
and the oars were found on the same
beach distributed along the distance OF
mile or more, showing that the
sharpe must have upset quite distance
from the shore. The men, who were
strangers in Sag Harbor, were undoubt-
eddy drowned.

LAYOUT OF CAMP WHITE.
Change In the Location of Battery A o

the Field
Colonel Henry G. Morgan, assistant
quartermaster-g will meet Briga-
dier-General George Haven at the state
military rendezvous, Mantle, to-day, to
consult with him regarding the details
of the encampment and the layout of
Camp White.
On account of the more extended in
tervals between regiments, necessitated
by the new drill regulations, the color
line of the infantry will have to be ex-
tended to the east well down toward
the Mantle river. This will REQUIRE the
removal of the battery of light artillery
from their former location on the ex-
treme left of the infantry line to their
old position the south side of the camp
ground, near the well-known clump of
trees just west of the siege gun and
mortar battery.
All the permanent buildings on the
camp ground have been newly painted
and good crop of hay has been raised
on the parade ground.

The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1892-06-21

Since the visit Of Fred Douglass to the
south his son complains that his father
had to ride in the car set apart for colored
people.
In view of the fact that Douglass was
credited with some very indiscreet utter
ances in Chicago, just before he went
south, it will strike most people that
he got along very pleasantly. Nobody
inslllted him, and his obnoxious views
were not even commented on He tray
eled through several southern states, and
received the same treatment accorded TO
others Of his race.
Under the circumstances, it is rather
strange that it should be considered
grievance that he had to rice with peO-
Die Of his own color. No white man
complains when he rides with whites.
Then. why should Douglass object 10 lid
ing with blacks?
This negro leader has become somewhat
famous on account OF his eloquent aoyo-
cacy Of the cause Of his race. But he
should be consistent. lie should stick to
bis people. If he made it q point to rido
always in white car, stop at white
hotel and associate habit1aliy with
whites, would not such conduct be an
insult to his own race?
That is the way it looks to us, and we
think that Douglass has every reason
to regard his southern trip as a pTeas57777e
one. He was permitted to min3ie oil the
time with blacks, and was not interfared
with by the whites, What more could
he ask for? Why should any black man
want to ride in the car set apart for
the whites, and why should my White
man want to ride in the car set apart for

A subscriber writes to ask what is
meant by the phrase free and unlimited
coinage Of silver" The question seems
to be Il belated one, but we nave 40 GOubt
that in the general discussion a great
many people have missed the essence of
the matter.
The free and unlimited coinage Of silver
means that any owner Of 500 worth of
silver bullion shall have the privilege of
taking it to any government E1int and
having it coined into or exchanged for,
standard dollars of the United States,
or their equivalent III legal tender cur
rency, at the rate of $1.29 an ounce.
This would settle q great many things
The legal tender or mint value of silver
bullion would be its market price, and
the government would be no longer in the
market as q purchaser The inevitable
effect of free coinage would be to restore
to silver bullion in this country the poten-
tial money value which it possessed
prior to 1873.
Those who oppose free coinage point to
the difference which now exists between
the price Of silver and the price OF gold.
1t is that very difference which cnan1es
the wheat and cotton of India to beat
down the price of those products in
America. With 70 cents worth Of Amer
lean silver the British business man can
purchase a dollars worth Of Indian cot
ton. This settles the price Of the Amer
lean staple, and the southern farmers
have to accept 20 cents for a dollars
worth of cotton. But the Indian pro
Queer can exchange his silver for coins
worth a dollar for the reason that India
has free coinage, while the American pro-
Queer is left i'll the ditch on account Of
the single gold standard, and the Brit
Usher pockets his 80 cents profit.
1t is claimed that if this country were
to reopen the minis to silver, we should
be deluged with European silver. There
are several satisfactory replies to this
In the first place there is 40 silver in
Europe of any account except the legal
tender silver which is in daily Use there
and this could not be shipped to this
country and received except ut n 1remen-
dous loss.
In the second place, If it should be sent
here it would be coined into standard
dollars which would enter into circulation
or be stored in the banks. or be employed
in building up our industries. There can

The Hatch Bill.

The New Orleans picayune appears
to be greatly alarmed over reports that
the senate in sure to pass what it terms
the obnoxious Hatch bill. 1t declares
that these reports have greatly diScour-
aged the opponents of the measure, and
it proceeds to urge everybody concerned
to see to it that there is no interference
with the present beautiful system of agri-
cultural keno.
The Picayune is evidently speaking
for the New ORR cans cotton exchange,
which has as lively al interest i'll agricul-
tural keno as the New York exchange.
or any of the big bucket shops. But the
trouble with The l!icayune is THAI it is
arguing in favor OF one thing, while tie
Hatch bill proposes To breIk UP another.
Our New Orleans contemporary goes
on to remark that tho south has actu-
ally a greater ingateSt in this measure
than any other portion of Tho country
to which we heartily say amen but when
it declares tat the price of cotton Is
now mainly controlled on this side of the
Atlantic through the medium of the great
army of spectators, who invest their cap
are compelled to pay good price for
it, it enters on a branch of the subject
which has only q renofe bearing on the
purposes of the Hag:h bill.
That measure is not aimed ut "Specu-
latorS" who buy cotton and hold it for
rise, but at the gamblers who buy and sell
on margins millions of wales of cotton that
have no existence whatever. Those who
buy cotton as an investment and hold it
until consumers axe compelled to pay a
good price for it ara engaged in as legiti-
mate Il transaction as those who buy real
estate and hold it for an advance. There
is not u paragraph or clause III the
Hatch bill that prevents 0" lnterfcreS
with such q transaction. What, thure-
fore. does the argument Of The Ficdyune
amount to? The Hatch bill, if 1t becomes
a law, will not Interfere with sales of real
cotton for future delivery, nOr Will it Ere
vent the purchase Of real cotton to lie
held for an advance IN price These trans
actions are natural and legitimate. The
bill is aimed at the gambers-the men
who, by buying and selling phantom cot
ton and wind wheat, have turned the
exchanges into huge keno rings, and who,
by their power and influence, are able to
break down prices for any Month III the
wear whenever it suits their convenience.
Twenty-Five million bales OF cotton in
excess of the 100000 bales of genuine
cotton have been bought and sold in the
New York exchange this season. Does
any sane person suppose that this traffic
in phantom cotton, carried on in the open
New York exchange, has mad no effect in
depressing prices? Does any sane person
suppose that the supp 'os,r1 OF this de-
moralizing option gambling will interfere

ence it may have. will support lin as

&, tho country. on the other nand it may
onne9r 10 the democrats, in convention
assembled, that it is the part OF WISDOM
to make some other selection for pHesl-
dent. Should this be the result OF the
national conference at Chicago, the selec-
ton of the convention is entitled to just
rs warm and enthusiastic support as
tbouch Mr.. Cleveland had been named
as the standard bearer of the party.
The republicans have renoninated the
presidential candidate who carried the
election in 1SSS. and they evidently ex-
pect to re-clcct him in 1872.
In the approaching election six new
states will vote, for the first time, III
presidential election, 10 wit: Idaho, Mon
tana. North Dakota, South Dakota, Wash
ington and Wyoming. These are counted
as republican states having twenty cleo
toral votes. There has been Il gain IN
population in the old states sufficient TO
give tWcnty-three electoral votes more
than there were in 1883. There Will be,
therefore, forty-three more electoral votes
In 1892 than there were i'll 1883. OF this
gain seven are from democratic states,
ard sixteen from republican states. Only
four of this gain comes from ire east
and nineteen from the west. This added
10 the twenty votes Of the new states,
makes Il gain of thirty-nine votes for the
west, not excepting the two from Geor-
gia and Alabama gained in the south.

Don't Trust EN-.

We observe that some of our risky
contemporaries are dwelling with some
display of humorous appreciation on the
alleged lack of soreness that IS said to
exist between the Supposltiious repub-
lican factions.
We do not object to the humor, for it
is the old, old joke, but we trust that
no democrat will regard the matter SOIL
ously enough to base any calculations on
it. There is no quacral at all between
the Blaine and Harrison factions. There
is a little irritation and some spiteful
insinuatiOns, but there are as many
Blaine men as Harrison men on the adj
ministratiOn band wagon.
The Blaine element is composed of the
hustlers, and it is an element that never
gets left When the b4l1 strikes up
and the Doodle campaign begins the
Blaine people will be found marching at
the head of the procession yelling louder
than anybody else.
The way for the democrats to win is to
nominate man who can carry Indiana,
New York and the doubtful states.
Whitelaw Reid should remember the fate
that befell Horace Greeley when he be-
came an office seeker.

No Stradilin9

Referring to the desperate efforts of the
republican convention to Straddle the sill
yer question, The Richmond Dispatch
suggests that the democratic convention
ought to avoid that sort of Il middle, and
we heartily second that suggestion. If
the party proposes to ignore the demands
of the farmers and the west in order 10
cater to the alleged views of voters in the
east let that fact be clearly understood.
If a candidate who is opposed to the flee
coinage of silver is to be nominated, let
the fact be clearly understood. If the CON
ventiOn is for free coinage, let it SO State
III unmistakable terms. If the silver queS-
ton is to be ignored or postponed, let the
fact plainly appear.
IN short, we know of no reason Why the
democratic party in the year of fate, 1S92,
should resort to double dealing in regard
to free coinage or any other question. We
believe that any attempt to deceive the
people by straddling and
an unintelligible declaration will
drive away more voters than
it will invite. The republicans are
first in the field with their hypocritical
straddle; let them occupy it.
The Constitution has very decided Cpin-
ions as to what would be the best policy
of the party in respect to the silver qucS-
ton: but its opinions on that and on
other questions are subject to the tctlon
of the democratic convention. We can ut
least advise the brethren not to engage
i'll Il poor attempt to compete with the
republicans i'll the straddle business. It
will deceive nobody, not even he L'lm-
blcSt voter III the land.
Whatever disposition the democratic
leaders conclude to make of the silver
issue they should proceed boldly and the

Ex-Slaves as Slave Owners.

The report comes from a reliable source
that many American negroes have mi
grated from Liberia to the colony Of
Sierra Leone III West Africa. These
negroes We're formerly slaves in the
United States, and in their new LONE they
seem to have q craze for investing their
capital in slaves, and it is said that tiey
make cruel and avaricious masters.
The New England fanatics who have
caused so much blood and treasure to be
squandered for the emancipation and edu-
cation of the blacks should study this
interesting chapter of contemporary his
tory.
Withdraw the negroes from contact
with the whites, and they lose no time in
speedily returning to the bar5artSm OF
their ancestors. Perhaps it would be a
good idea for a crowd of New EnglalderS
to settle in Sierra Leone and keep their
pets under influences that will prevent
them from relapsing into the a'Omjna-
tons of slavery and yo0d0Oism
