AT A convention of negro editors in
Philadelphia last Tuesday, the presl-
dent, named Mitchell, said the conven-
ton would make declaration of IN
dependence that there should be no
more cowardice among the negroes OF
the South, but that they would fight 1t
out there with the ballot or, if neces-
sary, with the bullet" Mitchell evil
IDENTIFY had heard or read recent
speech of Mr.. Hobson, one of the third
partv leaders of this State. for in that
speech, substituting the words third
party men for the word negroes, that
famous orator expressed the very same
idea in the very same language.

tional republican committee has set
apart no less than one million dollars
to be used in New York, Brooklyn and
Jersey City, and that one member of
Mr. Harrison's cabinet has subscribed
fifty thousand dollars TO The republican
election fund. This is where the trou-
bic lies. The Presidency, owing to the
numerous purchasable votes, is for SALE
and the republicans have the money
with which it can be bought. They
are rich and the democrats are poor,
and money, ifnot blood, will always tell.
And this is the condition of the Great
American Republic.

poses the proposal to make park out
Of the triangular piece Of ground at

that he is paying wharfage for the use

presented to Council signed by nearly
all the business men m that neighbor-

the committee on wharf, where It lies
dormant Why does not Mr.. O'Kane,
chairman. call this committee together
and give the citizens interested a re-
spectful hearing? This place is pecom-
ing an eye sore to the citizens living in
that part OF the city, as we'll as a dump

who gather along the river front during

Sir: While the Republicans Of the
Second district are looking for available
congressional timber, we would respect
fully invite attention to Marion county.
This the year that Marion will be con-
yerted to Republicanism, and It might
be we'll for many reasons to let the NOM
inee for Congress comefrom this county.
She has many sons Of ability and true
worth, any one of whom would un.
doubtedly make a strong fight and
serve the district with honor. One
that we would especially mention is the
Hon. Charles NJ. Shinn. Mr.. Shinn is
well known throughout this section OF
the state as an able, wide-awake and
energetic man, whose adherence to Re-
publican principles is something to be
admired then his strong popularity with
the laboring men, being not only a
friend Of the laborer, (but having been
himself reared by the hand of toll,
added to his wide experience and IA
miliarity with governmental affairs,
renders him especially fitted for q seat
in the Fifty-third Congress. His name,
If placed on the ticket, will be win
ming one. "MANY VOICES"

KENNA AND MASON.
The Former Evidently Uneasy and the Lat
ter Not ut AL So.


wGsHINaTox, D. O., July Ex-senator
Kenna, Of Yves. Virginia, says the deter
mination Of the Republicans to carry
West Virginia this year cannot be ques-
toned. Their canvass of the state is
we'll advanced-in fact, farther advanced
than ever before at so early day in a
presidential campaign. He says the
Democrats are making vigorous counter
efforts, and that he assuredly expects
the state to 90 Democratic as hereto
fore. He thinks the force bill will be
the chief issue Of the campaign in West
Virginia.
Commissioner Mason, Of West Virginia,
is confident that the Republican, will
carry the state. He says the Demo-
cratic majority which began in 1870,
eliminated six years later, when 1t was
1887, and that it has lessened steadily
ever since till 1888, when it was only
552. He thinks this Republican gain
has been almost solely in young voters,
and in the new population that has
come into the state. He thinks the re-
suit this year in West Virginia will de-
pend upon the people who have become
voters in the last four years. He is not
so hopeful Of carrying the Legislature.

ElecIrloal RaiIwayls.

There are in the United States about
$50 passenger railways using electricity,
having 5000 cars, 10000 motors and
5000 miles Of track. $4,000. 900 are in
vested. The daily mileage is estimated
at 7oO,o 900 miles, the number Of passen.
gers carried annually more than bill
lion. This has come about within ten
years, most OF it within half that time.
Wheeling has the bad distinction Of
having about the worst there is in the
business, but the clouds are breaking
and there is promise of system and
service equal to the best.
Given these conditions the street rail,
way property will be one of the most
profitable investments Of its kind and
one OF the very best in this region.

INC Anti.option scheme.


It is a touching sight to behold the
wheat growers and the big milling
combinations of the great northwest
acting together in favor OF the bill to
prohibit dealing in options.
Here we have the lion and the lamb
living down together. The lion is not
deceived. He understands his BUSH
ness. In time, if this bill becomes a
law, he will have some further business
With the lamb. Meanwhile the lamb
tlatters himself that he has won the
lion from the error Of his dOvouring
way. The lamb does not realize that
he is being prepared for sacrifcial
performance.
1.-THE measure were to become law
the wheat grover would soon discover
that he had made a mistake in support
inc 1t, for 1t would give tho great mill
ing concerns the practical control of the
market, and they would look at the
matter Of price from their own point Of
view.
The wheat grover would then have to
look 70 tho supreme court for relief.
Much Of the trading in options is be-
yond control Of Congress because it is
entirely within state lines. No act Of
Congress can say with binding effect
how Minnesota wheat shall be bought
and sold in Minneapolis.

Dom. 1ake DC WORK Of rheLr Hands.


We name no names, but there are
Democrats who like to dwell on what
was not done in their Chicago conven-
tion-perhaps because they would like
to divert attention from what was done.
Particularly they are averse to any dis
cussion Of theiU tariff plank, which de-
clares that all duties for protection are
unconstitutional.
They love to dwell on incidental
protection" on the kind Of protection
their party is going to give tho country,
assuring the uneasy in their own ranks
that theirs will be a very near approach
to a perfect measure of protection, for
1t is to bring the rich man down off his
lofty porch and give the American
workman for the first time in his miser-
able lie that adequate pay for his labor
which they are almost ready to give
him out Of their own pockets.
The Louisville Co,trisr-JournGl in its

ishes and threatens Democrats of this
sort. There is word here and there
