The Hood river Picnic.

The Odd Fellows picnic at Hood River
yesterday drew large crowd of excur-
sionists from The Dalles, enough to tax
the full capacity of the Regulator. 1t
was happy, well ordered crowd that
thoroughly enjoyed the trip, and the
picnic, and returned, save about a dozen
who remained for the ball, at the early
hour of z 10 p. m., without a single mis-
hap to mar the pleasures of the day.
Delegations of Odd Fellows from
Latourelle Falls and Cascade Locks met
The Dalles excursionists at Hood River
and proceeded to the Odd Fellows hall
where they organized, donned their
regalia and thus formed a line of march
to the picnic grounds. shady sheltered
spot on the old Coe homestead. After a
hearty lunch, the crowd answered the
bugle call to the grand stand where, un-
der the presidency of Mr.. M. Watson,
the exercises of the day were opened by
u prayer by a local pastor, Rev. Mr..
Auks. Then came music by the band
followed by fine address on
''fraternities" by Hon. E. L. Smith |;
the local glee club, and then came a
stirring speech by the orator of the day,
Editor John Michel, of this city. The
rest of the day way spent in music,
baseball games and other field sports till
nearly five o'clock when The Dalles
excursionists left for the boat landing.
About a dozen candidates, for county
and state offices on both tickets, took
part in the picnic. gu. P. Sam" con-
tributed an amusing feature to the days
entertainment by singing impromptu
songs in praise of the candidates and of
Regulator. The Dalles excursionists
speak highly of the days enjoyment and
of the courtesy and care exhibited by
the officers and crew of the Regulator.

The Force Bill and the Blacks.

The MORNING NEWS publishes elsewhere
in this issue a letter from John Shuften, q
colored lawyer Of Orlando Fla, giving his
views Of how the force bill would affect the
blacks in the south. Those who read the
lie truth in what Lawyer Shuften
says. He does not think that any
intelligent and conscientious colored man
can indorse the force bill, or favor any
legislation Of the kind proposed in that bill i,
for two reasons. One Ia that sort Of race
conflict would be brought about by it, and
in such a conflict the odds would be greatly
against the blacks. The other is that Il
would check prosperity in the south and
paralyEs the industries upon which the
blacks largely depend for living.
1t can be readily seen that the blacks
would be great sufferers. The national Re-
publican party would undertake to make
the force bill the instrument for counting
the black vote for that party, and it would
use every means in its power to organize the
blacks and get them to the polls. 1t would
hold out all sorts of inducements to them
inducements that would tend to draw them
into politics and make them seek official
positions for which they are not yet quail.
fed. The result would be a feeling OF hos
tility between the whites and blacks which
would have depressing influence upon
business undertakings and industrial enter
prises
No doubt the republican leaders will
charge that Lawyer Shuften Is a democrat.
and that his letter was written in the inter-
est OF the Democratic party. Whether he
is democrat or not is immateriaI. The
question is whether his statements and con-
illusions are correct. That they are. will be
admitted by all who have given thought to
the force bill Issue, and it is pretty safe to
say that all intelligent and honest blacks
agree with him.
The purpose Of the force bill is not to pro-
tect the blacks in any right they have. but
to provide the national Republican party
with new sources of strength. The under
lying intention is to use the blacks, not to
help them.
Lawyer Shuften thinks the greatest OBJ
stacle to the moral, intellectual and ma
terial condition Of the blacks is politics.
From politics most of their troubles come.
and, in his opinion, will continue to come
until 1.-THE Republican party ceases to fondle
and humbug the negro"
II the Republican party had let the blacks
alone or had endeavored to help them i'm
prove their moral and material condition
they would now be better Off ia every way
than they are. About all that has been
done to elevate the blacks in the south
has been done by southern demo-
Gratis. The Republican party has
practically done nothing for them that
is beneficial to them. AS Lawyer Shuften
says, it has confined its efforts to humbug-
ging them in order to control their votes.
Indeed, it is interested In them for no other
reason than that they have votes.
The force bill would do them almost in
calculable harm. That being the case, they
will consult their own interest by support
ing the democratic national ticket at the ap-
preaching election.
