DISTINGUISHED associate press dis
patches from Alabama, say: Gan
analysis of the vote shows that large
majority of the white democrats and a
majority of all the white voters in the
State voted for Governor Jones" Why,
of course they did, and they would have
been monstrous fools if they had done
otherwise. The rule of white mob is
bad enough, in ali conscience. But that
of a black one would be appalling.

The REPORT of the ways and means

The REPORT of the ways and means
committee of the U. S. House of Rep
resentatives, to which the third party s
sub-treasury scheme was referred, says
1.-The Inauguration of this scheme
would be the spectators delight. 1t
would enable him to carry on his ope-
rations at much smaller interest ac-
count than he would incur if forced to
carry it in any other way. The bill
does not restrict the deposit to the pro
Queer of the product, but provides that
"anv owner of cotton or wheat may,
etc, deposit the same in the sub-treas-
ury." Therefore, if wheat were worth
81 bushel, a Spectator having Sio0,-
coo could invest it in wheat, deposit it,
and receive therefor $4,000. This he
could again invest in wheat, deposit it,
and receive $4,000. This again invest
cd and proceeds deposited would yield
him SOL, POO. And continuing the ope-
ration, each time investing all the
money received in wheat and deposit
ing it, drawing so per cent, of its value,
he could carry more than S4lS,000
worth of wheat with less than 800, 900
cash, and only pay TIE government
per cent. interest IL
A R5',yy yet Sc the lie demagogues at the head
Of the third party tell the farmers that
the scheme referred to, if adopted,
would cure all their evils, and effect
uallv secure them from the machina-
tions of the spectators. Men are as
sadly deficient in understanding now
as they have always been and forever
will be.

THE FACT that Col. Streator, who
ordered the mutineer Iams to be tied
RID by the thumbs, has been reelected
sDy his regiment, his term having ex-
pired. shows that his regiment, which
knows him, has a better opinion of him
than those newspapers which don't
know him, but which SO vehemently
and ineisjyely denounced him for doing
what, as an efficient officer, he could
hardly have helped doing.

The THIRD party in Edgecombe
county, \. c., has nominated negro
for the legislature. Why, certainly
When southern white men leave the
democratic party, it is only natural that
they should resort TO any means which
they think may conduce to the defeat
of that party. 1t is by no means
strange, therefore, that where the ne
groes are numerous, as they are in the
county referred to, the third party,
composed almost entirely of men who
have heretofore voted the democratic
ticket, should select negro as its can
didate for the legislature. What the
other white men in the county think
of such a proceeding is not told but may
readily be imagined.

A DISPATCH from Birmingham says
that yesterday "one hundred armed
Kolb men marched into Rockford, the
county town of Coosa county, Alabama,
and declared their purpose to kill the
probate judge, sheriff and circuit clerk,
who constituted the returning board,
and declaring vengeance generally on
all Jones men. The sheriff summoned
a posse and q riot was prevented" Yes,
it is always the same. Whenever an
unsuccessful attempt is made to defeat
the regular democratic organization in
the South, those engaged in it either re-
sort to violence or the cry of fraud, and
generally to both. The democratic, is
the law and order party of the South,
and the conservative party of the coun-
try

Mr.. WATTERsoN has been talking
again. He now says Mr.. Lincoln was
'inspired of God" Mr.. Lincoln, as the
world goes, was by no means a bad man,
and the South would doubtless have
been saved much unnecessary suffering
had he been allowed to serve out the
Presidential term for which he had
been elected. But certainly no other
southern man except Mr.. Watterson
ever imagined that he was INSPIRED OF
God" Mr.. Watterson SCOT off" when
he advised that one hundred thousand
unarmed men should appear in Wash

Mr.. Tilden, aud he has never ''got on

JUDGING FROM hearsay and letters,
there is cause to fear that unless great
change shall take place in the political
condition of this State between now
and the fall election the democrats may
lose some of the congressional districts,
and possibly the State itself. The demo-
cratic majority in 1888 was less than fif-
teen hundred, and it would only require
change of two and half votes in each
of the one hundred counties to dissipate
that majority entirely, and the third
party men claim that they have as
many as one hundred votes in some OF
the respective counties. If every voter
in The State were intelligent there would
be no trouble, but when demasogues
have ignorant material to work upon,
there is always danger; and the demo-
Gratis, if they would be sure of success,
must see to it that speakers. capable OF
explaining to the voters intelligibly
that democratic defeat means republic
can victory, and what will be the neces-
sary consequences Of such victory, be
sent, not only to every county, but to
every magisteral district in the State.

THE RECENT strike in the building
trades of New York, ordered by the
walking delegates, and in which many
thousands of workmen were engaged,
has been declared oil, and all the
strikers whose places had not been fill
ed with non-union men have gone back
10 work on the same terms that existed
when they struck The strike was Il
sympathetic" one, and was caused by
the refusal of an employer to discharge
an industrious and efficient workman
who had refused to pay fine of fifty
dollars imposed upon him by labor Or
ganization. The employers, of course,
were put to much ANNOYANCE, and even
trouble, but the strikers to much greater
loss, and those depending upon them to
some suffering. Who was benefited
does not appear.

MR.. CLARKsoN's private secretary
has been arrested in New York for
ducking cats in a street trough, and
Mr.. Clarkson himselfis engaged in de-
vising uniforms for male and female re-
publican clubs. And yet it was only q
short time ago that Mr.. Clarkson and
his secretary were prominent in the re-
publican party, and the former was
chairman of the national committee of
that party. But that position was the
breath of his nostrils, and when Mr.
Harrison took it away from him, he
subsidized at once into the place for
which he was naturally suited, and, SO

litically, unwcpt, unl0norcd and I'M

Mr.. J. BRAD. BEVERLY is reported as
saying that ''the Force bill isnot halt so
bad as the present election law OF Nir-
ginia, and that General Weaver Is
better friend of the South thar eX-
President Cleveland" Well, the cleo
ton law referred to is in operation here,
as it is in every other county OF the
State, and yet, so far at least as heard or
nobody, republican or democrat, white
or black, has been deprived of his vote
by it, though it has preserved the PEG,
pie of many other counties and several
districts ofthe State from the disastrous
effects of negro rule. In view of Cen
eral Weaver's expressed sentiments to-
wards the southern people, to say that
he is better friend Of those people
than Mr.. Cleveland is absurd.
