THENEGRO SCARE CROW

In time of the Crusades it is re-
lated that the Saracen women would
brighten their children to sleep with
the name of Richard "The Lion
Hearted" If child was wakeful
or nervous, its mother whispered in
its ear, "Richard will get YOU" The
child cga2ed its crying, and was
frightened to sleep. Richard was
the Saracen Scare crow.
For a quarter of century the
South has had its scare-crow. If
Southern people have been wakeful
and nervous and anxious for progress
along new lines demanded by new
conditions, the old leaders of the
lost cause have whispered i'll their
ears, "Hush, go to sleep. The mig
ger will get YOU" If new leaders
with new ideas and clearer vision
have sought to lead their people
boldly forward, they have been stop
ped by false prophets shouting mig
ger. nigger.' If honest men have
demanded honest elections, the
answer has been, "nigger." If iatel-
ligent men have pleaded for increase
of schools and more education as
essential to progress of any kind
they have been silenced by the Terri
BILE scare-crow of "nigger."
But yet, when the poor darkey.
feeling that his own condition was
sadly in ueed of improvement, started
to move away, these same scarce crow
makers passed a law to keep hin
here. The scare-crow was too valu
able to lose.
We saw typical negro laborel

ragged and patched, his coat wa

MR.. MoROE's EXPLANATION.

Representative Monroe was one of
the Democrats who voted, in the
House, for the Douglass resolution.
The following is his explanation of
his vote. If. all the Democrats in
North Carolina had as much sense,
and as much goodness of heart, as
Mr.. Monroe shows, there would be
SOME hope of the Democracy. Bat
alasl alas! Mr.. Monroe seems to stand
quite alone in these respects. If Mr..
Monroe shall feel quite isolated, We
beg to call his attention to the fact,
that his political chief, Mr.. C.eve-
land, invited Mr.. Douglass and wife
to dine ct the White House, during
his first term. The invitation was
accepted, and Mr.. Mrs. Douglass
we're treated by this great Democrat
with distinguished consideration.
So Mr.. Monroe, you are in splendid
company in voting to honor Mr..
Douglass. And there are few of
those who are crying out against you
and your associates, for your vote on
the Douglass resolution. who would
not stoop to black Mr.. Cleveland's
boots.
"Mr. Speaker, / wish to speak for
minute or two to question of per-
sonal privilege. Douglass ghost,
like Banquo's, will not down at our
bidding. l had hoped yesterday
that this House, and the whole
country, had heard the last of this
matter, but, as l have been informed
that on yesterday it was stated that
/ was publicly charged with having
voted for the famous resolution, and
that l did not deny it, and as the
papers this morning are full of it,
! wish to make a brief statement of
the whole matter.

ITS LIFE INTENDED.

An amendment to the legislative
and judicial appropriation bill, ex-
tends, for two years, the term Of life
of the United States Court OF Pri-
vate Land Claims.
This court would have ceased to
exist at the end of this year, had not
the extension been secured. Other
extensions are likely to be had, so
that this court may be expected to
last many years yet.
Judge T. C. Fuller, of this city, is
member of this body Of distin-
guished jurists. We congratulate
Judge Fuller upon this extension of
his honors and usefulness as Judge.

THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGIS

Owing to the fact that The eau

Kate FIeIu.
Lord Randolph Churchill, when in his
best health and busy, used TO astonish most
other Engiishmen by his indifference to
sport as 81 means of getting rid Of his
occasional lapses of leisure. He once said
that he knew of two ways Of spending Il
holiday infinitely preferable to going off to
Scotland for the shootings one was TO go to
Paris and live a month or SO on the boule-
Yards: the other was to run down to Brigh-
ton and stay in bed twenty hours out of the
twenty-four. His ideal of a happy life was
to go TO bed in a quiet room, stay there
during the day reading and doing, dine in
slippers and dressing gown in the evening,
and as soon as convenient thereafter go
back To bed. Such liking as he had for So
ciety was of the unconventional sort He
never took a very keen artistic delight in
his wife'S musical accomplishments, but he
was unwilling that any ore else should
speak disparagingly of them. AT an enter
tainment once, where she had consented to
execute a brilliant dash on the piano, a
tall youth. with bangs and a monoeIe, was
observed paying a ianguid and rather in
soient attention TO the music, standing close
enough 10 the performer TO have his COM
ments easily overheard by her. Lord
Randy was close at hand, too. and pres
entity heard the yapid youth remark:
