GETTING THEIR EYES OPEN.

1t is a fact that at the last presiden-
tial election a great many colored peo-
pie voted the Democratic ticket. And
this was not merely in the south,
where, according to Republican ora
tors, the shotgun is used as political
persuader and ''niggers'' are frightened
away from the polls or cowed into vot-
ing as the white bosses wish them. In
the north and the east many colored
men declared they had done with the
Republican party Some of them, it is
true, did not give any very exalted rea-
sons, their great objection being that
the 'Publicans thought they were good
enough to vote, but not good enough
for an Office and they would try what
the Democrats would do.
The Washington Star reports the re-
marks of an influential colored man
from the south to the effect that many
sensible men of his race are throwing
politics aside and devoting their atten-
ton to education and business and per-
sonal advancement in other than po-
litical directions. That shows their
good sense and also their awakening
to the fact that the party which has
posed as the special friend of the negro
had no further use for him than to
serve their purpose The coIored gen
tleman's remarks We're in part as fol-
lows and others of his people would do
well to take notice of what he said:
"A quarter of a century's experience
as political footballs, being kicked all
over the cid in every campaign, has
taught them there is nothing in the
game for them. The young men who
have worked hard for the success of
this party or of that have become dis
couraged at ever securing recognition
when they see the same men who have
been rewarded with the results of vic
tory keep on getting SO rewarded even
after they have retired from active par
ticipation in the strife. They see that
when one of their race once gets a
taste of Office-hOlding, he don't want
to make a bit of room at the trough
for any one else, no matter how hun
CRY he may be. / don't say it's right
to look at politics in the light of what
you can get out of it, but our people
are quick to learn object lessons. and
hence their understanding of politics
is based upon what they see their
white brothers doing. The colored peo-
pie are beginning to look out for num-
Der one, and they are going in for rails
ing cotton instead of helping to raise
Cain at election time"

TURNING THE TABLES.

Among the many skits and squibs
about the poor old innocent who
was led away by the Pollard, is the
following from the Atlanta Constitu
ton:
Colonel Breckenridge has family of
grown up children, three girls and two
boys, one lawyer, aiding in the de-
fence of his father. The other named
for his grandfather, Robert J. Brecllin-
ridge, is of a wild disposition Just be-
fore the breaking out of the Brecilin-
ridge-Pollard scandal, Bob got on a
spree and had several fights. Colonel
Breckenridge telegraphed from Wash
ington to put him in Jail and keep him
there until he arrived, which instruc-
tons were followed. 1t was decided to
send Bob on a sea voyage, and Just as
he was boarding a vessel he read an ac-
count of his fathers doings with Miss
Pollard, and wired his brother: Put
the old man in jail and keep him until
L return, three years hence'

out of the responsibility of the demon
citation of silver.
Take all the silver legislation since
that time, and it will be found that
what true friends the white metal has
had have been chiefly in the Democratic
party. We have no defense to offer
for those Democrats, Cleveland includ-
led, who are opposed under present con-
didons to the free and unlimited coin
age of silver But what we have said
is true and capable of demonstration by
the record.
The Sherman law, as is we'll known,
was fabricated to ward off a free coin
age measure. was only a makeshift
of miserable kind, as is admitted even
by Republicans. And the Republican
party has furnished a far greater pro-
portion of opponents in Congress to sill
ver bills that led in the direction of
free coinage than the Democratic party
has had.
AS to the 80 per cent. in favor of BIZ
metallism, that is certainly very great
+eXaggeration. If anything like large
majority are in favor of the two metals
as money, many of them support silver
only as subsidiary coins, and do not
want what they call "a double stand
ard" The sentiment in favor of silver
coinage is growing. It will no doubt
become an overpowering issue before
very long. But when there is a great
majority of the voters in favor of re-
monetization, they certainly will not, if
in their senses, turn to the Republican
party as the friend of the white metal,
for it has always proved its inveterate
foe.
Chairman Carter, of course, wants to
cheer his comrades with the hope of
a return to the power which their party
welded for so many years. But he will
find it a forlorn hope. And when they
appeal once more 10 the country for
reinstatement. they had better sing
small on the silver question and on the
subject of panics and "unexampled
prosperity"

SHAMEFUL CONDUCT.

The Republicans in the lower House
of Congress are largely responsible for
the disgraceful delays in the conduct
of public business. Their continual fill
clustering and technical distractions to
legislation make the proceedings OF that
body most contemplate farce Il may
appear very smart and very funny in
the eyes of Mr.. Reed to interrupt the
consideration and passage of measures
necessary for the welfare of the coun-
try. To lockers on it appears worse
than childish and akin to crime.
But if these structures are just in
view of the congressional situation,
what may fairly be said about the alb
sentees, whose neglect of duty gives oc-
casion for the course pursued by the
minority? Are not those Democrats
who stay away from their posts when
their presence is necessary to form a
quorum, almost equally guilty with the
wilful cbstructionists? Those Demo-
Gratis who are. to some extent, respon-
sible for the condition of affairs day
after day when no business can be
transacted, deserve the strongest con-
demnation. They ought not to be paid
for the time they are absent without
leave, and their. conduct should be a
bar to their reelection.
Mr.. Reed fondly hopes that by con-
tinuai filibustering when there are not
members enough on the side of the ma
jority to form a quorum, he will drive
the Democratic Speaker to adopt the
despotic tactics of his Republican pre-
decessor. This would be a sort of vim
dication of the Reed policy, and re-
move from him the obnoxious title of
Gear Reed" Speaker Crisp will not
fall into the trap He win not count a
vote which has not been cast, even if
the member is present. So Reed and
his followers are deliberately and inten-
tionally wasting the public time and
hindering the public business with no
good result to anybody.
The Democrats ought to be in their
seats when duty calls. They ought to
maintain the majority which the coun-
try has formed in the House by their
election. They are greatly to be blamed
for their failure to do so. But their
conduct is. after all, not so open to
public reprobation as that of the Re
publicans who, being present, refuse to
answer to their names and thus in eff
feet make the record a lie, showing that
no quorum is present, while in truth
there is more than a quorum in the
House and thus there is no good reason
for the obstruction of public business.
There may be occasions which would
justify such course. But they are of
rare occurrence and form extreme cases.
1t makes the practice of flibustering
no better to say it has been resorted to
by Democrats. The members present
ought to perform their duty whether
others do SO or not And the voters OF
this country ought to show their detes-
tation of the shameful daily doings in
the House by retiring from public life
both the wilfully neglectful and the
persistently flibustering members OF
Congress.

CARTER AND REPUBLICANIsM.

In a contribution to the North Amer
lean Review, the chairman of the Re
publican National Committee springs
the almost worn out fallacy that under
the party which he battles for, the
people of the United States had enjoy
ed an almost unvarying experience of
prosperity unparalleled in the worlds
history. That sounds like a repetition
of Harrison's last message previous to
his REIMBURSEMENT of the Presidency,
and which has been exploded until lit
tie of it is left.
Saying nothing of the strikes and la
Dor troubles and the various distur-
Dances in trade and finance of later
years, and the fact that the disasters
of 1898 were under the full force and
action OF Republican laws and poll
cies. we only need to point to the panic
of 1873, the effects of which lasted for
about five years, to overturn Mr. Car
ter's little Theory. 1t is related in the
history of that period of awful distress
that after nearly four years had pass
ed away, over three millions of people
were out of employment. There were
three periods of industrial depression
during the time he mentions, but the
first named surpassed anything in the
history of this nation.
have been its cause-and we believe
that the tariff question contributed to
it but in an incidental manner-has al
ready subsidized and its effects are fast
passing away. 1t is true that the
number of the unemployed is great. It
is, however, much exaggerated for
party ends and will soon be rapidly di-
unfinished. The so-called industrial army,
while containing many genuine unem-
ployed worknlen, is recruited to a con-
siderable extent by tramps who would
not work if they could,
Mr.. Garter breaches another subject
which he would have done well to
avoid. as it reflects no glory on the
Republican party, and the argument
is dead against his view of the matter.
He says:
The fact is being considered that at
least 80 per cent. of the people of the
whole country are in favor of bimetal-
ism and of the use of both gold and
silver as metals, and that the differ
ence Of opinion between the east and
west arises not on the principles in
yolVed. but upon the methods that can
be safely employed to bring about the
desired result 1t is clear that nothing
can be expected from the Democrats
party, which is in power and will NOT
do anything, nor from the People's
party, which is neither in power nor
justified in hoping for success. To the
Republican party the people will turn
with renewed confidence, and the west
ern Republican states will prove i'm flu
ture as loyal as of old
The faulty of this is remarkable

come into use on the London under

WAsulNoroN, Feb. lS.-The Hawaiian
controversy occupied the principal time Of
the senate, Senator Gray Of Delaware open
ing his argument in defense of the policy
OF President Cleveland Early in the ses-
sion Am interesting incident occurred in
the presentation of Senator Cullom Of "A pc
tition signed by 10000 woolgrowers Of the
west protesting against the free wool
clause of the new tariff bill.
The speech of Senator Gray IN the Ha-
waiian matter was devoted principally TO
an attempt to prove the complicityof of Min
ister Stevens with the revolutionists, the
senator citing the evidence of members OF
the provisional government TO show that
they were In daily consultation with the
minister previous TO the revolution and
that they expected the protection Of the
American troops In their plan to over
throw the queens government. Senator
Gray did not conclude his speech.
Il was District OF Columbia day In the
house, and a number Of bills affecting that
part Of the country were considered. The
latter part Of the day was devoted to eulo-
gies on the life OF the late Senator Stanford
