Very Few Responses.

: peClhl tO i he news
DETROIT, Mich, Dec. Very
few of the local assemblies of the
Knights of Labor in this state have
80 far made response to the secret
circular issued some weeks ago by
Secretary Treasurer Theodore Ii.
Holt asking them to adopt resolu-
tlons of commentator to Senators
Allen, Kyle, Stuart and PETER for
the stand they have taken in the
interest of the people, and votes of
thanks to all the senators who voted
in favor of free silver, and resolu-
tions of condemnation against al
the senators who voted on the other
side. The circular in question sets
forth that the laboring men and
women of Michigan should place
the seal of condemnation upon all
the anti-silverites in the senate, and
that SCI ators Mcmillan and Stock
bridge of this state should be es
pecially RELOCATED to obscurlty
through the election of representa-
tives In the future pledged to retire
them to private life.

TIE Democratic press continues
to reiterate that tariff is a tax and
that the party now in power is
going to reduce it. How will they
do it, with the present receipts of
the treasury some millions a month
below the actual revenue? They
cannot do it by saving $1O,OOO,0OO
on sugar bounty and eXpending
$60,00O,OO0 in duties on foreign
sugars, but this is the measure de-
cided on.

LADY teachers are debarred from
the public schools of Brenham on
account of the unruly character of
the hoodlums who attend the city
schools. If this is the case there
is pressing need of reform school
at that place. The youth who has
no respect for the gentle woman
who endeavors to lead him into
the ways of instruction, has two
little respect for the mother who
bore him to be allowed to mingle
with his fellow associates and cor
rupt them. These boys need a
rigid cOmbing down under the
hand of some muscular christian,
in the strict discipline of .genu-
inc reform institution. A few
months of such training might
teach even this class of kids a
little common sense.

THAT it does make a difference
whose OK is gored, in politics as
well as in trade, is apparent from
the comment of the Montgomery
Alabama, Journal on the situation
Of that state, in which it states:
"Kolb's organs say they have
been .quiescent and tolerated the
ungovernable temper and despotic
military nonsense of his reigning
eXcellency, Jones, simply because
of consciousness of the power to
thrust him out at the next election.
1t is certainly time, the people
say, that there must be an end OF
ballOt-bOX stuffing in the Black
Belt. That was well enough when
resorted to defeat negroes and Rad
icals, but there must be an end of
it when the contestants on both
sides are white Alabamians, peers
all, in social and political life and
action"
Here is richness. Here is an open
confession that, if not good for the
soul, as such confessions are said
to be, is certainly conclusive
proof of the truthfulness of
the charges so often made and as
often denied, that there was no free
ballot in the black belts of the solid
south. Here it is openly admitted
that ballot box stuffing and cleo
ton frauds have been the rule, and
not only so, but it is asserted that
these frauds were justifiable
against "negroes and Radicals"
though not the proper caper be-
tween heightened whites of the
Democratic persuasion. The Jour-
nal is entitled to the credit of hon.
esty, if nothing more, albeit it is
the honesty of the criminal at the
bar, who confesses to the indict-
ment as charged.

f. l.. CORTIELL, the eminent en-
gineer who was associated with
Capt. Eads in the construction of
the jetties at the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi river, atlirms positively
that the shOaling at the mouth of
that stream is the result of allow
ing the works constructed by Eads
to deteriorate, and he is before the
public with a communication in
which he urges that those works
be restored at once to their original
condition. The whole question of
preservation of the Mississippi
levees and the passes at the mouth
is receiving unusual attention at
this time. That there is a decided
difference of opinion as to the best
means of effecting these objects, is
apparent from the discussion of
the subject in the leading journals
of the Mississippi valley region.
This agitation will no doubt end in
some prompt action by congress
for an exhaustive Investigation of
the whole matter and such reme-
dial measures as may be deter
mined on. The preservation of the
river plantations and the channel
through the passes is of too much
Importance to be neglected by con-
greSs.

TIE question of location is de-
stined to play an important part
in the nomination of the next DEM

claims to recognition that cannot
readily be set aside, and if they are
not recognized there will be an in
clination to support the POpulist
candidate, for the strength of that
party lies in the Panhandle.

THE coLoRED VOTER.


The colored citizens of this re,
public have just celebrated the
anniversary of their emancipation
1t is fitting that they should rem.
ember that their political enamel
patton has not yet been effected,
nor will it be until they are indie
pendent in their political action.
The time has come for for a new
departure, and in that new depart
ure they are to assert their indie
pendence of any one political party.
The issues of the old war time ere
dead, at least so far as
their advocacy. by any one
party is concerned, and what the
Intelligent colored voter needs now
is to look after his own interests.
That these will be best subserVed
by division of the colored vote of
the country, or at least in the
south, cannot be denied by any one
who has studied carefully the po-
litical situation in the southern
states. So long as the solid vote of
the colored citizen is given to any
one party, just so long will that
party be excluded from representa-
ton in the state governments of the
south, and so long as a consequent,
will the cOlored citizens be unrep-
resented in such state govern
ments. New diseases require new
remedies and new conditions re-
Quire to be met with new adjust
ments, and in the conditions now
existing in the south it is not wise
for the colored voter to attach him
self exclusively to any one politi-
cal party. The thing to be desired
on the part of the cOlOred citizen,
as with all others, is such repre-
in the government under
which he holds citizenship as will
afford him the best protection in
all his interests. By a divided
vote there will come to the cOlored
citizens of the successful party the
of recognition as an
integral part of the dominant
party of the state, and in such
recognition there will be such care
of his interests for the sake of his
support that these interests will
not go uncared for. That the vote
of the colored citizen is logically
with the Republican party is gen.
orally recognized, but it is also be-
ing understood in high and in low
places, that it is not any longer for
the interest of the colOred people of
the south to be found voting solid
Iy in the ranks of any one party.
The colored voters of the nation
have been loyal to the Republican
party, but it is high time that they
were loyal to themselves and
looked out for number one.

WHEN the Detroit Free Press
says-"AIillions for deserving veter-
ans, but not one cent for deserters
and bounty jumpers" it says what
every loyal old Union soldier in
the nation will applaud. There is
not a man in this great republic,
who ever honestly and honorably
wore the national uniform, that
does not feel Inundated and per-
sOnally mortified every time that
a pension fraud is unearthed. Not
at the unearthing, but on account
of the reflection that it casts upon
the integrity of the "bOys in blue"
The call is loud and instant from
the "real veterans" for the unearth-
ing of all pension frauds and the
punishment of every offender. 1t
does seem that something effective
might be done by the G. A. r. in
the way of informing the depart
ment of the merits and dement's
of applicants for pension, residing
within the several G. A. r. posts,
where such applications are sup
posed to originate.
