If Governor O'Ferrall bad been a
member of the Virginia legislature
and had voted for a resolution ex-
tending the freedom of the State to
the visiting committee of the Massa-
chusetts Legislature, including the
negro, then his crime would have
been terrible. His conduct in that
case would have been a disgrace to
the State and would have been a
proof positive that he favored negro
social equality. But since he is
simply Governor of Virginia, and
did nothing more than invite the ne
gro to his mansion and then enter
tain him at his table, in charity We
will look over the whole matter and
say nothing about it.

The Douglassasses are still clutch

they vainly hope will save them from

The late unlamented Congress flor
any good it did appropriated 5000
for the purpose of surveying the route
of the proposed Nicaragua canal. A
committee of promoters have
called on the President and com
planned that the appropriation is two
small. 1t would only pay salaries !.
leaving transportation, &c.. I'M
provided for. This canal project is
a good one. 1t ought to be accom-
plished. But the plan by which 1t is
proposed to accomplish it is barely
second to the great Pacific railroad
manipulation and steal. The gov
eminent is asked to stand for one
hundred million dollars to carry out
the plan. If this is done the country
may be benefited; but goodness. what
stealing and scandal there will be In
the handling of this money.

And SO, whether the bill was a good
one or not-vhether II ought or
ought not to have been passed,
the plain fact is the legisla-
ture did not pass it,; but it an
pears among the enrolled bills as
a law. How it got there is not vet
fully understood. This, however, has
no bearing on the validity of the bill
as a law, because it is signed by
the presiding officers of the respective
branches of the General Assembly
and that fact constitutes it a Law.
The matter is being Investigated in
the best possible manner. Some
facts are beginning to appear which
look ugly. Enough is ALREADY known

Woap sir. The Michigan Supreme
Court has decided that candidate
cannot run on two tickets in that
State. That is equal to saying that
fusion is Unconstitutional Next
case. These Democrats think now
that 1t is 'unconstitootiona for AZ
honest man to run on any ticket.
Better watch them. When Demo
erat gets after you with his "consti-
tootIonaF' accoutfements, you want
the stick of common sense Ia YOUR
hand aud YOU want to use II. TOO.

Eleven prominent police officers
have been indicted on charges of
corruption, bribery, etc.. in the city
OF New York by an extraordinary
grand jury which made investiga-
tons. The indictments are a great
triumph for DR.. Parkhurst and the
reform movement he has led. Hon
est police administration in the me-
tropolls is now a certainty. Never
again can it be what it was.
