The Future of nemocrncr.

/ President Cleveland is quoted as being
hopeful that many of the men responsible
for the Chicago platform and ticket will
be convinced OF their folly in the near fu-
ture and viii help bring the democracy
| back into the true democratic faith. He
believes that a very large proportion OF
those democrats who voted for Mr.. Bryan
did so on the ground Of regularity" and
that they wiz be ready before the meet
ing Of the next national democratic con-
vention TO join with those who organized
the indianapolis convention TO rehabili-
tate the democratic party
Mr. Henry Watterson. who returned
from six months trip to Europe last Sat
urday says; Il do not know what the fu-
ture of the democratic party will be- but
l think the democratic party can be re-
organized only on the lines of the Indiana
polls platform. I think that those demo-
Gratis who supported Mr.. Bryan will go
over to the populist party"
The President and Mr.. Watterson agree
as to the basis upon which the demo-
cratic party can be reorganized, but they
differ as to the line of division in the dem
ocratic ranks Mr.. Cleveland believes a
very large proportion of the democrats
who supported Mr.. Bryan would be
against Mr.. Bryan four years hence if he
should be the democratic presidential
nominee on platform similar to the Chi
cage platform, while Mr.. Watterson seems
to think that all democrats who support
ed Mr.. Bryan Will eventually find their
way into the populist party.
We are inclined to think the President
is right. We are quite sure there are tens
of thousands of democrats in each of the
southern states who supported Mr.. Bryan
simply because he was the regular dem
ocratic nominee. Had he been the popu-
list nominee only on the Chicago plat
form he would not have received ma
jority of the democratic votes of the
south.
The legislation of the next three years
and the results which flow from it will
have much to do with determining the
course which democrats who supported
Mr.. Bryan will pursue in the next ma
tional campaign. If the legislation is such
as provides a satisfactory system of cur
rency raform-a system that will give the
country more nearly equal distribution
of the currency-the silver problem will
cease to be an issue. and the great ma
jority of the democrats-in fact nearly all
of thenl-will get together upon some
such platform as that adopted at In
dianapolis. If on the other hand, the re-
publicans devote their time to the tariff,
and let the money question drift along be-
cause of the difficulties attending the set
Element of it, the democrats who support
ed Mr.. Bryan may retain control of the
democratic organization, and may form an
alliance with the populsts just as they
did this year, Nobody, however, can pre-
dict with any degree of certainty at this
time what the future Of the democratic
party will be. It's future will be determin-
ed largely by what will occur between
now and the time for the meeting of the
next national democratic convention.

The annexation OF Hawaii by the United
states during the Mckinley administra-
ton would be vindication of the diplo-
macy Of the Harrison administration. Mr..
John w. Foster was responsible for the
foreign policy Of the Harrison adminlstra-
ton, hence the admission OF Hawaii
would be vindication Of John W. Foster.
and would incidentally increase his impor-
lance in the minds OF the foreign govern
ments for which he acts as attorney. or
counsellor, or special agent. The special
practitioner in International law and d.
plomacy finds advertising to be a good
thing for his business. Mr.. Foster is in
teresung himself to a remarkable degree

one of the most notable foot ball games
Of the season was played az Greensburg,
Ind, a few days ago. Both teams were
beaten; beaten so badly that they left the
field in disgust. The game was played on
the edge Of wood. Some small boys of
the neighborhood were in the woods hunt
ing. Presently the dogs gave voice and
the quarry made straight for the ball field.
The hounds were closed behind, hence
when the animals being hunted burst into
the opening and saw men, they had no
time TO turn. The two teams of players
were in a scrimmage in the middle of the
field, and two of the animals got into the
mix-up, while several others ran in all
directions' among the spectators. It took
about two seconds to discover that the
precipitous visitors were skunks. The
players made weak effort to continue
the game, but were compelled to give it
up Nobody seems to have remembered
what the score was at the time of the
catastrophe.

Twenty-seven farmers Of the neighbour
hood Of Fort Meade, Fla, have entered
into an agreement to plant each from one
half to three acres Of tobacco next year.
The object Of the combination is to Sc
cure storage and curing at the least pos
sible cost TO each producer. The plan Is
a good one. and should be adopted Ivy
farmers in other sections. It is probable
that Impetus to tobacco culture IN Flor

every county in the state will send dele
cations to the convention, and 500 dele

which suffers more from a freeze than
cane. stalk OF cane once frost bitten
is worthless. The harvest is now Eoius

IN the fields the planters are finding Il
difficult to Get the cane under shelter. A
sudden freeze would be almost a disaster

made speeches during the campaign gave
Cleveland a plurality of 155,765 four years

cities gave Mckinney a plurality of 49,

"Mugwump' has been officially defined
and classified by a Pennsylvania court. An
editor called man a "mugwump," and
the man took offense and had the editor
arrested. The matter came before Judge
Donahue Of Wiikesbarre. In his charge
the judge said that "mugwump" meant
"a respectable republican inclined to kick
over the traces" The editor was dis
charged.

Caiixto Garcia, the general-in-chief and
brains of the revolution? Maceo has prov

Spaniards cannot solve; Gomez is a
sphynx, whose secret is unknown to even

believed to have a good many well armed
men somewhere waiting for a favorable
opportunity to give the Spaniards a sur
prise that will last them during the re-
mainder of the campaign. While Weyler
is in the hills of Pinar del Rio, will Gomez
attack Havana, or will he press on and
attack Weyler in the rear, while Maceo
engages him in the front? Reports of
Gomez's movements are awaited with in

REV. SLATTERYs PAMPHLET.

WE have received pamphlet, en-
titled ''The Negroes and the Baptists"
by that prince OF Roman Catholic
priests, Rev. JOHN r, SLATrERY OF Balti-
more. The article appeared in The
Catholic World Magazine" for May, '96
Rev. SLArrERY is foremost in his self
devotion Co the interests OF
the colored people, and makes reply
to the outrageous declarations of the
Roman Catholic, Mr.. EUGENE l.. DIDI-
RR of Baltimore.
His manly defense of the tenets and
teachings of the Church of Rome is
lost sight of in his attack upon that
great and good man, Rev. DR.. I. j..
MORGAN, secretary of the American
Baptist Home Mission Society.
To our surprise, he frankly admits
that he intended to make no reply to
Mr.. DIDKR's structures relative to our
people, and only wrote the article in
question on account of the leafiet issu-
ed by Gen. MORGAN.
His explanation of this is given as
follows:
Naturally, our readers may think
why is this paper of Didier's noticed
now, after so long q silence on ouI
part, although urged heretofore to take
il up? We passed it by not only be-
cause we were ashamed Of it. but also
because there is no arguing with preju-
dice. Silence is ever the best answer
to vituperation.
He then cites the fact that the leaf
let, "Man OF Baboon?" by Gen. Nor
GAN has been scattered broadcast
throughout the South. Rev. SLATTERY
usually cool, collected and gentleman
" SO far forgets himself, as to indulge
in SANDER and makes references t.
Gen. MoRaAN's record Immediately
after the war. In this, he violates th'
very principles which he had few
minutes before laid down.
| He even goes so far as TO speak OF TIT
Baptist Secretary as MORGAN. But
enough, Mr.. DIDIRR has done tn
Church with which he is identified
much harm and that his utterance
should be made use Oft the detri
ment of the Church in Rome is no sur
prise.
The intolerant spirit which pervade
the latter part of the article of Rev
SLATrERY is what mas caused most o
the criticism to which members of hi
faith have been subjected. Had tn
pamphlet in question been devoted i
its entirety to refutation of what MI
DIDIER asserted, and the assertions c
DIR. MORGAN ignored, the effect anon
right thinking people would have bee
: more pronounced and the dispositio
to further profit by the misrepresents
: tions of Roman Catholic lessened.

ANOTHER DECISION.

The Supreme Court of the United
States on Monday, May Is, 1895 rem
dered q decision in the case of Plessy
against Ferguson sustaining the con-
stitutionality of the law of Louisiana
requiring the railroads of the State t.
provide separate cars for white and
colored passengers.
Justice HARLAN dissented. This
is another practical demonstration Of
the effect of public sentiment upon ev-
en- the greatest judicial body in the
world.
We can be Disseminated against, we
can be robbed of our political rights,
we can be prosecuted and murdered
and yet we cannot secure legal re-
dress in the courts Of the United
States. Truly las evil days come up
on us. But q reckoning day will come
and all classes of citizens, sooner or Ia
ter realize that a government which
will not protect cannot demand for it.

Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!i for John Mitch
ell, Jr., and Pokey Barnes.

Every Negro should read the last
issue of the Richmond PLANET, giving
an account of the TREMENDOUS VICTORY
gained by the heroic efforts of Editor
John Mitchell, Jr., in rescuing Pokey
Barnes, who was accused of murder,
from the gallows. Our readers will re-
member that Pokey Barnes with Mary
Alternately and Solomon Marable were
within four days of being hanged when
Editor Mitchell interposed. And now
it turns out that the grand jury could
not make out true bill against Pokey
Barnes after previous court had with
the shadow of shade of a true bill
condemned her for the supposed muir
der of Mrs. Lucy Pollard.
Justice sometimes seems to slumber,
but when truth gets a hearing, it will
assert its sway. This is great tri-
umph for Editor Mitchell, for Pokey
Barnes, for the Negro race and for JUS
tice.

POOR AUNT MARY

In our 10y over the release Of inno-
sent PoKEY BARNES, it should not be
forgotten that innocent MARY ABER-
SArHr is standing within the shadow OF
the gallows, and that radical steps
must be taken to save her life and give
her liberty.
It is uncomfortable that commune
ty could be so wrought up as TO con-
denim two innocent people to death,
confine another in the penitentiary and
then inaugurate merciless legal war
upon them.
There is absolutely no cause to sus-
pect Aunt MARY Of this horrible crime,
much less condemn her TO die.
During these long dreary eleven
months her enemies have been tireless
in their efforts to secure evidence
against her, but none has been found
The stamp of innocence is upon her
countenance. Gradually, it is dawn
ing upon the citizens of Lunenburg
County that they made fearful mis-
take.
Our efforts have not been directed
towards shielding the guiltybut to keep
them from Furnishing the innocent.

investigated and we know that MARY

A BRAVE DEFENDER

The action of JACK TRICE, colored,
who fought fifteen white men killing
two, and fatally and dangerously
v'ounding two others is worthy of all
commentator.
The mob came to regulate TRIcE's
fourteen year-old-son and the father
defended him as above stated.
We admire the spirit of this molten
sive colored man. What right had
these white men to attack his home ?
1t was his castle and the relatives of
these misguided outlaws will appreci-
ate the lesson received while the de-
mons of darkness are singing .p@aDs
over their departed souls.
Colored men defend yourselves
against all lawless corners. Shoot
down the lynchers as JACK sTRICE ha;
done, and take the consequences.
This one example will be the ceus'
of saving the lives of many more col
Ored men in the Southland.
Whether it be by prayer and thu
shotgun, 10y law and the militia, lyncl
