~ ~~'oNAhB O2cpStcn.I
There is evidently a wide different "a
OF opinion among the cclored people
OF Columbus on the question of the
utility of an Indignation meeting TO
denounce the violence of the whites
toward the blacks ia North Carolina.
After much parleying. in which this
olnerence OF opinion appeared, a date
for the meeting was set and now, for
SONS reason best known 10 themselves
there has been postponement. The
indications are strong that The think
ing colored men OF che community are
notiinterested in the observation-disclosures
ashley do that the race question must
De settled by the whites and blacks Of
the locality where the trouble has oc-
CURED. 1t is notable fact that, in
spite OF rae prejudice and persecution
the south produces more colored men
OF prominence than the north: and
these, including Jud son Lyons, Dancy,
PIedger, Mitchell, Dumas, King. Lynch
and Booker 7. Washington-names ia
millar TO every household in fthe south
are to be trusted.

pie and the whites as they do. thew ara

lution of the race problem than any

who delight to hold Indignation meet

resolutions expressing sentiments al

ing OF the whole question to those who
must meet 1.-THE colored people of
the south.
The southern victims of these out
RACES do not ask for these meetings in
the north. They feel that they them
selves are equal TO the emergency and
that in time they will work out their
own tsalvation. The Dallas Express,
the leading race journal in the south,
we'll says that such are the conditions
and such sre the surroundings shatlit
Is our firm opinion that no power

course, that the question must be set

two races in the south. The govern.

prosecute the leaders in that mob; and
she proposed meeting here will neither
accelerate nor retard the movement to

Democrats for an Honorable Union.

Democrats for an Honorable Union.
Boise, Idaho, April 29.-The
democratic state committee today
refused to follow the populists TO
Moscow. They called the demo
cratic convention for Boise August
"a, and told the ropulists if they
wanted to come in on silver union
they would have to hold their con-
vention here at the same time.
This is. not at all likely to occur,
and so the prospects of fusion Of
democrats and populists seems to
have gone glimmering The dem
ocratic committee held consular
ton with the silver republican COM
mittee and later agreed to call their
convention for this city on the
oath, so a union Of democrats and
silver republicans is not altogether
OUT Oh the question.
Although the action of the dem
ocrafio state committee practically
renders fusion with the populists
impossible, yet the democrats ask
the populists to join with them.
This the latter announce they will
not do. The democratic committee
issued an address in which it in
part says:
In order that victory may be
insured beyond a peradventure,
realizing that in union there is
strength, and in line with the re-
common jation of the national
chairmen of the democratic,
peoples and silver republican
parties, we cordially invite all, re-
CARELESS of past party affiliations,
who believe with us on this issue,
aud who favor the welfare of the
masses rs against favoritism of the
classes, to unite with us in sthe
coming campaign and win another
victory in the interest of the people.
The apportionment of delegates
to the convention is as follows:
Ada, II; Bannock, 10; Bear Lake,
8; Bingham, Z; Blaine, 8; Boise, 7,
Cassia, 6; Custer, 2; Canyon, 7;
Gilmore, 5; Fremont, 8; Idaho, 9;

The county commissioners made
an important settlement at this
session with the Northern Pacific
railway company, They had tax
es in dispute, extending through a
number of years, amounting to
$10,328, and settled in full for
$4,000. Considering that a portion
Of the taxes were of doubtful legal
lily, it is considered very good
settlement on the part of the coun-
ty, and the company maintains its
reputation for square dealing. The
commissioners deserve much cred
in the matter.
