The Philadelphia Record very op- portunely calls the attention of the people in the north, who are advising the colored man what to do to better his condition, to the difficulty that would be experienced by the black man should he attempt to break through the barriers erected by the trades unions and try to become proficient in any of the mechanical crafts. It is a well known fact that while the colored mechanic is often skilful it would be next to an impossibility for young negro to secure an opportunity to be come an apprentice in any locality where trades unions are powerful. It is only in the small towns that a col Ored man is given chance to become anything but a porter, waiter, boot black or cCachman. No matter how earnest CT competent, the Afro American has less chance tc, become an artisan in the north than he has in the south. If people of the northern states could be persuaded to set a bet ter example to the south, it would probably go a great way in solving the race problem.

KEEP AT IT.

Advertising is a great deal like eating. Ycu cannot eat a very large meal and expect to go without eating again for the next week or ten days; neither can you advertise successfully by using a medium one issue and then dropping out of sight three or four issues. You must keep everlastingiy at it, studying tha situation closely meanwhile, and making every advertisement count. Persistent, consistent ad- vertising shows that person Of brains is on deck.

A SUSPICIOUS VETO.

The last legislature of Pennsylvania was not conspicuous for its good deeds, but it did one worthy act when it pro- Vided for the abolition of the blanket ballot and the substitution of the VOL ing machine. The measure has now been vetoed by Governor Stone on the flimsy preteXt that it would impose a Stone is known as a protege and friend of Quay and as Quay would not be likely to look with favor upon inno- vations which might tend to give him less hold on primaries, Stones act must be regarded as suspicious, since he is unable to give any better reason than expense for planting himself in the way of a much needed election re- form. No honest citizen will grudge any tax whose application is likely tC promote honesty in elections, for he knows that with adequate safeguards thrown about the ballot the upright electors will have a better chance to put in office incorruptible legislators whose economies will s001 pay for the cost of a new bal.oting. system. About the time of Stones suspicious veto, the board Of aldermen of Buffalo, by a vote of twenty to threa, adopted the voting machine for use at elections. and the mayor, it is said, will endorse the action of the board. The voting machine is destined to be uni versal, and the best the politicians can do is to delay it's general advent The legislator who shall successfully lea1

arrangements i: has frequently hap
pened in Colorado in recent years
that some man has been set forward
to fill a place on the ticket allotted
to the populist or the national silver
ties or some other party who could
not by any possibility have received
the nomination from a regular re-
publican or even a democratic con-
yention- Yet his endorsement was
made the price of the votes contribu-
ted by his faction aud So the entire
body of fusionists helped 10 elect a
man whom they themselves knew to
be notoricusly unfit fer his position.
These arguments have been fully
justified by events The failure of
fusIonism, both in the Legislature, in
the state administration and in the
county offices has been just a. great
as it was expected TO be, and it could
not by any possibility be greater.
Every time that fusion has been &C
complIshed it has been sacrifice OF
principle. and its effects are to be
seen all over the state, and nowhere
more so than in the disgraceful record
of the 18th general assembly, soon to
be called in extra session to attempt
to repair its blunders and its deticien-
cies. Against this scheme of fusion
the republicans have consistently OPP
posed themselves, and they are be
ginning to reap their reward in the
confidence Of the public, and the re-
spect in which they are held even by
their political adversaries. - Colorado

Why Fusion Fails.

The objections which tue republi-

against fusion were based upon well.

this form of political action first made
its appearance in our politics it was
argued against it that it would make
it impossible to enforce party respon

a majority of the Legislature aud bills
can only be passed by combination
of various elements. then it becomes
impossible to place blame where If
belongs, and the result is that many
measures are passed and much is done
for which the voters do not have the
satisfaction of Furnishing the guilty
party.
Fusion also works to the detriment
of the citizen IN that it tends to put
