The New York Journal prints q
letter from Hon. John j. Ingalls,,
formerly United States Senator from
Kansas, in which the following re-
markable statement is made: "The
Bible and the hymn book are we'll
enough, but what the African race
needs is another Toussaint Lower
ture, with the blood stained banner
of revolution and the torch and
sword" These were probably the
sentiments of the late John Brown,
also of Kansas, although he was an
impetuous sort of incendiary and un.
dertook to enact the role of Tous-
saint L'Ouverture himself, rather
than wait for the negroes to develop
leader themselves. Why, however,
should Mr.. Ingalls, want to apply the
torch and the sword" to his white
fellow-citizeas; man ought to be
able to be Statesman out of q job"
without melting an inferior race to
murder aud arson. The "torch and
the sword" will never be a remedy
for lynching, nor will the negro ever
get in that way what Mr.. Ingalls, calls
"his rights. ut may be we'll for gen.
tleman who are far removed from the
scene of strife to suggest a revolution
by the negroes. for whatever may
happen they at least will not suffer.
There is no necessity, however, for
the ''torch or sword" in remedying
the wrongs of any class or race in
this country, despite the views of
some advanced" women in Boston
and ex-senator Ingalls,. If the negro
is suffering from evils which are not
directly trsceable to his own crimes,
he can trust to the enlightened pub
lie opinion of the South to protect
him. We have enough of the "torch
and the sword" in the Philippines
without starting a revolution at home,
of which incendiarism and massacre
are to be the principal features. Mr..
Ingalls, suggestion will not meet with
popular approval and he should re-
consider it.

The finding of baby Marion, the
20-month old child of Arthur w.
Clarke, Of New York city, on June
LIST, after a search of eleven days, was
a great,,joy to the child's parents and
a qualification to the motherhood of
the land who had heard of her alb
duction. On the 21st of May the
nurse employed by Mr.. Clarke, who
went under the name of Carrie Jones
and who had been with the family
but week, took the baby in a per-
ambulator for an airing in Central
Park. After reaching the park the
nurse took the baby from the baby
carriage, which she left standing
near some bushes, and asked the ma
iron of the ladies' room if she would
watch it while she went and looked
at the bears.
From some cause Mr.. Clarke had
feeling that all was not right, and
after mentioning the subject to his
wife he concluded to go to the park.
He found the empty baby carnage,
and while looking at it the matron
of the ladies' room appeared and told
him of the nurses request. Mrs.
Clarke went back 10 his home and
was there met by boy who present
ed him with a note in which the
writer said that the child was safe.
but if the matter was given to the
police or the newspapers he should
never again see her alive. 1t was
signed Three. Certain punctua-
ton marks led those who examined
the note to believe it was written by
printer.
The police took hold of the case as
did also the newspapers and it was
owing to her picture in newspaper
that baby Marion was recovered. A
Miss Carey, in charge of a mission
in the Ramapo Mountains, recognized
it in the arms of Mrs. Jennie Wilson.
and she hastily drove to the sheriff
and told him where the child was.
which led to the arrest of the woman
and the restoration of the child to
Its parents. Carrie Jones was after
wards found in New Jersey. AS Mr..
Clarke is poor man aud was not
able to offer much money for the re-
covery of his child, and $4,000 was
offered by two of the sensational pa
pers of that city, there is a bit of
suspicion that the child was alb
Quoted to furnish the food on which

THE UNION
DISSOLVED

When this ordinance was passed
thousands of hearts burned with pa
triotic fire and showed their readiness
to make good its declarations with
money, arms, and if necessary, the
shedding of their blood. The morn
ing of their struggle was grand one,
hope unfolded its pinions and scared
high into the realms of faith, but the
evening came with its bloody plains,
swept and torn by the rush and rain
of the war-storm, and the night of
gaunt hunger and defeat descended,
wrapping all in gloom and disaster.
1t was bitter moment to the van
quished survivors, but it was made
more humiliating by the terms diota-
ted as condition of State rehabili ia
ton.
There are those who say the South
ern States could have preferred the
presence of hostile soldiery to accep-
ting State rehabilitation coupled with
the XVIII amendment, but those who
make this an excuse of their endorse
ment of that amendment have never
considered the evils that would have
flowed from the presence of such a
soldiery mixing with and stirring up
the hostile sentiment of one-third of
the Southern population, just freed
from bondage. Crops were neglected,
and want stared the people in the face
while the soldiers were present. The
Southern people believed they were
able to get along with one of these
unfriendly forces, by the withdrawal
of the other. Besides, the Congress
that held that it possessed the power
to make the XVIII amendment con-
dition would have felt no hesitation
in declaring that the acts of said
States were not essential to make that
amendment valid.
But that good sometimes hovers
over and blossoms upon disaster is
found in the fact that the South is
being thickly dotted with cotton fac
tories, while those In the East, which
section was the nursery of the senti-
ments that brought on the war, are
threatened with abandonment. When
Federal cannon and musketry shot to
death the ordinances of secession,
they awoke the slumbering energies
and reserve forces of a people who,
despite their contests with poverty
and harrassing social EVIL, are lift
ing the South up to plain of pros
perity that makes her proud victor
in industrial advancement. We hope
she is only entering the vestibule of
her prosperity.
