REPUBLICAN FALSE LIGHTS

There is a good cartoon out dS to the
republican clap-trap of 1.-The full dinner
pail 1t is not plenty Of food but
awful taxes that now fill the pail. The
republicans believe in calch phrases
and invented deception. For ~thirty-odd
years they have had such with
to befool ignorance and relieve COM
plants. The Baltimore Sun aptly re-
produces some of these "oily-gammon'
sayings that tickled and bamboozled.
1t says:
I'm the national elections that follow
ed the close of the war between the
states its favorite can phrases Were:
The fruits of the war must be pre-
served" The Solid SOUTH" South
ern Supremacy" "A Free Ballot n
an Honest Count" n many similar
wavings of ''the bloody shirt" Then
came the tariff campaigns, ana the re-
publicans invented a new set of catch
words t. tickle the ears of the ground
lings.' Then working men were told
that "A cheap coat makes a cheap
man." and that they must vote against
t pauper wages Of Europe" and
defend their home market against
the assault OF British gold"
They are trying their hands upon
new platitudes and beguiling promises.
They will of courss humbug many a
stupid, credulous fellow who swallow
ed all the other misleading, Haunting
statements coined by bosses to befool
fellows who love a false jingle. Here
are some of the latest given by the
Sun:
Who shall haul down the lag?" is
4 favorite. The policy of scuttle" -
another that we shall hear early and
often. -Four years more of the full
dinner pail"
The wise, the informed, the fairly
intelligent, the truth-seekers, the OBJ
V will not be led astray by such
cheap, daily repeated stuff and rot.
The Sun says that the republican oT-
gans and tooterS will use freely the
'all-persuasive pail and some VIII be-
live the William the Conqueror and
Teddy the Terrible cannot fail TO sweep
the country. "Victual and Victory is
the slogan which it is assumed will
cause American workingmen to rallH
Trusts with irresponsible enthusiasm.
At first sight this ~blazoning of the
full dinner pail" on the banners of the
republican party does hot impress us
as an appeal to the reason, the judg-
ment or the patriotic sentiment of our
workingmen. But "the full din
ner pail is a shibboleth of ~unredeemed
~vulgarity n unqualified coarseness.
which assumes that American working
men have no interest in the good gov
eminent and general welfa1r of their
country beyond the filling OF their own
stomachs."

WILL THE NEGROES VOTE IN NO.


So far as we know public sentiment
in the East-its view of the negro as a
political factor-is unanimous. The dem
ocrats are very, very weary of negro
rule and viii have no more of il,
whether it comes in the shape that the
fusion gang gave it or in the not less
r~eprehensible and d~isagreeable way in
which Mckinley gave it. Western Caro-
lima need not to blunder at this point.
All the white folks in at least thirty
counties have set their teeth against
any more negro officials. There is no
blinking that fact. He is indeed a
wise, ~far-seeing man who can declare
with open face that the 120, 900 or $780,
600 negro electors will not vote in No
vember. o does Pritchard and
gang boast Of carrying the state for
Mckinley if the negro vote is not to
be cast? Trying to ignore the 12O, 900 or
more negroes as factors in the lection

GALVESTON THE STRICKEN.

1t is very painful to learn that the
number of the dead at the almost de-
stroyed city Of Galveston increases.
The best information puts the loss at
more than 5000 people, and it may even
reach the 5000 figures. The loss of
the property is incalcuable. The
subscriptions for the relief of the sur
vivOrs are pouring in, and viii reach
a very consider, S.e sum before the
last dollar is received The necessi-
ties are great, and water, lights. and
disinfectantS are very much needed.
The citizens in large numbers are leav-
ing as fast as il is possible to do so.
The people who remain pluckily ak
of rebuilding and restoring the city,
but if this is done it will be It a great
risk for already it has been visited by
three storms of a destructive kind, n
of which swept over the city having
a big deposit OF mud as the ast had
done. 1t win take ten years, we may
not doubt, to put Galveston where it
was in buildings, business and popu-
lation before the storm OF the Sth Of
September visited it with its tremen-
dous havoc. The British have been
warning in Africa for nearly a year,
and have lost in battle not more men
than the number of people who per-
ished at Galveston. The killed Of
Americans in the Philippines in an al
