FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

Frederick Douglass, who died sud
denly last evening, was easily the
leading man of his race, and, in spite
of his intense prejudices, did yeoman
service for his race for nearly three
score years. Born in slavery nearly
seventy-eight years ago, he early
tired of the restraints of serfdom,
and fed from the home of his mas
ter in 1888. He became identified
with the anti-slavery movement in
1S41, when he made a speech at
Nantucket of such intellectual grasp
that he was offered the agency OF
the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery So
ciety. From that time Douglass
constantly fought for the freedom
of the slaves of the South, and at the
breaking out of the war urged PreSi-
dent Lincoln to make use of colored
troops After the war Douglass was
often heard upon the political ros-
trum and lecture platform, and,
barring his disposition to give ques-
lions too much of party coloring, he
was logical, keen and entertaining.
Douglass wrote several books and
held several offices under the gov
eminent.

The Offering Of the new bond issue,
obtained by the syndicate at S1.04, to
subscribers at SLIP is not calculated
to allay the feeling created by the
secret negotiation of the sale. The
difference of s per cent means a
very handsome profit to the syndi-
cate, that it is difficult to convince
people conld not jest as we'll have
been realized for the government had
the bonds been placed on competitive
sale. When to this is added the
$16,0O0,000 of increased interest be-
cause the bonds are payable in coin
instead of in gold, we must admit
that Senator Sherman was correct
in saying that the government had
made very poor bargain. AS an
object lesson of the folly and ex-
travagance of keeping out issues of
paper that keep open a perpetual
drain upon the gold in the treasury,
it may be useful on some other con-
gress than this one. 1t seems to be
incapable of learning either by pre-
cept or example.

PURE PATERNALISM.

The house committee has recon-
proposes to encourage the manu-
facture of sugar in this state by
paying a bounty Of two cents a pound
on all sugar made in it. It is not
so surprising, because it is but fol-
lowing the precedent set by the
Fifty-first congress when it COM
pensated the planters of Louisiana
for removing the tax on sugar by
giving them a bounty of two cents
a pound. The motive, however, is
upon reducing revenue and getting
rid of the surplus, and it cut off the
revenue at it's largest source of in
come in order that the difference
might be maintained on other arti-
cles that yielded no, or very small,
revenue.
The motive here is purely paternal.
The declaration on the part Of the
house conittee is that their concep-
ton of a state government is to use
the taxing power of the state in
building up such private enterprises
whose promoters shall be able to con-
vince the majority of the legisla-
ture that, while there might be an
incidental benefit to themselves in it,
there would be a public welfare. If
the Legislature is loyal to the policy
of it's national party it will undoubt-
eddy pass this measure, and then we
will see what we have seen in Louisi-
ana and in Nebraska-the men with
capital rushing in to take advan-
tage of the bounty, but buying their
raw material, produced by the farm
erS, at competitive prices.
But we doubt very much whether
we will see that result, even should
the legislature be insane enough to
pass the bill There will not be men
wanting who will bring an action to
test the cOnstitutionality Of the act
and to have it determined whether
all of the people of-the state are to
be taxed for the private benefit of a
small number. A supreme court
which held the act unconstitutional
which appropriated public money to
the construction Of a state elevator
for the benefit of grain growers
will see in this bounty act the same
constitutional objection. 1t would
undoubtedly follow the doctrine of
the supreme court of the United
States in the Tupelo case, in which
it said that to lay with one hand the
power of the government on the
property of the citizen, and with the
other to bestow it to favored indi-
viduals to aid private enterprises
and build up private fortunes, is
none the less robbery because it
is done under the forms of law and
is called taxation

STAND BY ,PLATT.
Albany Legislature Takes Up the
New York FeuG.


ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 2O.-As a result
of Thomas C. Platt's visit to the state
capital it is probable that an amend
ment will be offered to the committee
of seventy police justices bill, which
was designed to permit of the imme-
date dismissal of the present incum-
bents in New York city, to leave the
sitting justices undisturbed until the ex-
piration. of the terms for which they
were appointed. AS to the police reor-
ganization bill, also a committee of
seventy measure, the present plan is to
so amend it as to relieve Mayor Strong
of revisionary power and render final
the report of the commission named in
the bill.
Unless there shall be a change of
purpose, the bill best known as the
Golf bill, and which contemplates CIV
ing the entire patronage of the Grim
inal courts of New York city into the
hands of the recorder, will be passed.
Mr.. Plat and Gov Morton were clos
eted together for an hour or more to-
day, but nothing is known as to the
nature of their conversation beyond
the fact that it related to the patron
age of New York city.
Senator O'Connor has assured Mr..
Plat that there is not break around
the senate, but all the Republicans will
stand by the Republican organization
in it's fight with Mayor Strong. '"They
regret" said Senator O'Connor, that
the New York city differences and feud
have been transferred to the legislature,
but blame the MAYOR for it, and pro-
pose to let him bear the responsible
ity'
1t is known that Mr.. Plat thinks the
governor will sign the New York bills
as they come to him. Ex-Postmaster
Van Colt stated such was his belief,
though he had not talked with Mr..
Plat since his visit to Gov. Morton
this forenoon.

VETS and Drys.

council by Aid. Nordeen promises to
stir up a very bitter fight between the
temperance and the liberal elements
in the council In addition to knock
ing out the Rand ordinance, it pro-
vides that saloons cannot come nearer
than 400 feet of schools or churches.
The inclusion of churches in this sec
ton is a new idea, and if accepted by
the council several saloons now in ex-
istence would have to move. Aid. Nor
deem said when he introduced the
measure that this section was to give
the parochial schools the same pro-
lection as the public schools, but
there is no distinction made in regard
TO churches. All churches appear to
be included whether they have schools
or. not The ordinance committee will
meet this afternoon to consider the
matter.
