a NEGRO SAYS NO.

Senator ingalls, syndicate letter on the
deportation of the negro has provoked
many criticisms. In answer TO his syn
dicaie letter, published week ago, de-
claring his belief that the experiment of
freedom and suffrage for the American
negro had proved failure, the Rev.
Caesar A. A. Taylor OF Waters college.
Jacksonville, Fla, writes that he has
contributed two pennies of the dates of
1861 aud 1865 to the fund for the Liberty
bell which is being cast at Meneely
foundry, and requests that the negro be
not Judged too harshly. The Rev. Tay-
lor SAYS:
The pennies bear the dates wherein all
wise Providence provoked the nation to
war in which the north and south paid
to each a fearful price, eXpiating a ma
tionai crime, and wiping out with blood
the untruth of 1916. Liberty througout

THE GREENLEE BILL.

In explanation Of what it meant by
the expression, "As proposed by the
Popullsts, III a recent article in refer
ence 10 the Greenlee bill, which was
copied IL these columns and briefly
commented upon, the Sterling Cham
pion says The expression ''has direct ref
erence TO the amendments proposed by
the senate when the Greenlee bill came
before that body for consideration, but
to which every Republican member in
both branches strenuously objected" "
And large majority-not all-of the
Populist members as strenuously in
sisted, and why? Simply because the
amendment-not amendments-deferr
the election of the board of commission

matter the Pops went back on their
party's demands, made in their plat.
form and by their press and speakers
through the campaign preceding the
election; that is, that the railway com
missioners should be elected by the peo-
pie. The Republicans demanded the
same thing, and attempted to live up to
it, but were prevented by the duplicity

FREE TRADE ABANDONED.

II ON me AlCnlSOn CHAMPION.
The free trade idea mas evidently been
abandoned for the present by the leaders
of the Democrats in congress, so there Is
likely to be much less friction in the adj
justment of the tariff question. The
advocates of an absolutely prohibitory
tariff are now very few and of small in
fluence in national legislation. The great
mass of the American people believe
that the government revenues should be
derived from tariffs on imports, but the
day will never return when tariff will
be demanded practically prohibiting
foreign manufactured goods.
The Republican idea in tariff legisla-
ton has been to SO adjust its terms as 10
favor American producers and manu-
facturers The Democratic theory is TO
SO arrange the tariff as to acquire the
largest revenue, regardless of American
manufacturers. The tariff needs thor
ough revision in many particulars, but
there should be no change of duties on
such farm and field products as are
grown in the United States.
The restoration of the duties upon
sugar, teas, coffies and spices would
place a direct levy upon the tables of
farmers and laborers, who have the
most mouths to feed. and are least able
to bear the additional burdens. The tax
upon liquors is an internal revenue affair
and if Mr.. Cleveland's party wants to
foot those bills, we don't object.

the employment OF women, but declares
that ''the female is the cause of a great
many business failures" There is some
thing in that, but a fellow can't help it,
He saws further: go to a lawyer
office where the female is and what do
you see: The old lawyers, the young
lawyers, and the clientage conversing
with the female" But the Cincinnatian
does not stop at the lawers. He goes
on: go to the business house where
the female is and what doyou see? The
old proprietor, their sons and the male
help conversing, with the female al
every opportunity and neglecting their
business. Go anywhere the female is
employed and you will see the same
thing"

STATE GRAIN INSPECTOR.

Jones, whom the Lewelling admins
tration appointed state grain inspector,
is an Insult to Kansas farmers He
knows no more about the grain business
or his duties than Lewelling does of
statecraft. The Kansas City Gazette
says that he has proven utterly unre
liable. The Anthony Journal, from
which county he came, IN speaking of
him last February when he was first ap-
pointed, said:
"The appointee to the Office of state
grain inspector is Samuel p. Jones Of
Harper county. He is store-box
whittier and political farmer who has
been seeking office during the past ten
years and at last has been rewarded.
He has very unsavory court record In
this county, and in fact cannot get
credit for a dollar. He is execution
proof. He is fair sample of Governor
Lewelling's appointments. 1t is well
that he enters upon his duties April /, as

A CHECK FOR FOUR CENTS.
As Curiosity il is WORTH Much Nor,

A well-known Wall street broker has
pasted in conspicuous place in his pri-
vate office little piece of paper which
even upon the street" is regarded a. a
great financial curiosity 1t is "a check
drawn upon a New York national bank
for four cents, and has been certified.

the paying teller certities by his sigma

he does so with the understanding
that the check, if not used and returned
to the bank through the ordinary chan

bank on which il is drawn the paying

who now must of necessity take bal

drawee of this check used to induce the

though the drawee's name be

like amount IN place Of IL. If the party
didn't like that he could take cash--or

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

From the Kansas City star.
The plan to nominate Z. N. Morrill, for
governor of Kansas next year, Ed Hoch
for lieutenant governor and George
Douglass for congressman-a at-Iarge--a
slate which is said to be favored by jim
Simpson, chairman of the Republican
state central committee in Kansas
would be good politics, but it would be
a radical departure from the policy of
the Republican party in Kansas which
has favored mediocrity in the selection
of its state officers for many years, and
which finally went to the wall on that
line. If the old machine" in Kansas is
sufficiently whipped out to neutralize its
opposition TO such men as Morrill, and
HOch aud Douglass there may be hope
yet for the 'g. 0. p" in the Suuiower
