W-h-e W! Gee whilikens. But

day was wet, drizzly day and
along towards evening the wind
Increased in velocity and keenness
and continued to grow in violence
until a vetitable gale was in
progress. The wind continued
through out the better portion of
the night and it got colder every
minute. Tuesday morning was
as cod as an iceberg and there
was ice everywhere. The Their
mometer was down to IS and every
thing was frozen up. Fowls and
birds and animals hunted the sunny
side of things and eDdeavored to
warm up. People who had to be
out struck their hands deep into
their pockets, lowered their heads
and stuck out at a wO-forty rate.
The air was crisp and sharp and
penetrated with the keenness of
needle. No man stayed out in
the streets any longer than pos
sible and business was virtually
at standStill. 1t was a genuine,
simon pure blizzard and every
body heared a sigh CT relief when
the blamed thing was over. Feb.
ruary is certainly surprising her
self, and up to date has given us
more real winter weather than
any of her predecessors. Hope
she'll take a drop and Learn to be
good.

We have had some very heavy
rainfalls in this section during the
past few weeks, but we believe the
heaviest of all prevailed last Satur
day. 1t came down in vast sheets
and the drops were exceedingly
large and it wound up with a pre-
cipitation of a goodly supply of
hail that was, unquestionably, the
heaviest seen mere in long time
and the stones, in many instances,
were as large as birds eggs. The
patter Of them on the bousetops
sounded like the rattle OF mus
kerry.

They also stated that the carnival

NO RACE QUESTION.

! commenting upon the speech
made by Senator Tillman, of
South Carolina, before the Press
Club of New York, last Saturday,
after declaring the thing seemed
to be "wholIy out of order" said,
among other things:
The violent and sensational utter
ances of the Senator from South Cara
lima are calculated to create the I'M
preston that there is a burning race
question in the Southern States, when
IN reality there is nothing of the sort
There is no agitation on the subject
whatever in these states, because our
race question has been settled. 1t has
been settled by provisions inserted i'll
the constitutions of the several South
ern States.
f this is a fact-and it is fac t
why's mercy's name,is taere s.
much noise. Why are the leading
papers and men of the South for
ever and eternally shouting 'nig-
gerT' Any man who knows any
thing knows that the negro, as a
political factor in the South, is as
dead as Hector. and that there is
no possible chance for him to get
in except where the Democratic
re-, istrarS let him in 20 subserve
their own selfish aims. In the
last general State election quite
number Of illiterate negroes were
registered in the parishes of AS
censiOJ, st. James and st. John,
and the object expected to be ac-
cOmplishe,t by it was successful
in an eminent degree to the par
ties who advised the scheme.
After that an attempt was made
to have a majority,if not all, the
negroes stricken from the rcglstra-
ton lists, but the courts refused
TO sanction such a step.
There is not the slightest dan
ger in the world of the negroes ever
amounting to anything in politics
III the South again, and the men
who are doing the insensate
shouting over it know it as well
as anyone else. They know that
under the constitutions as they
now stand the thing is an utter
impossibility, and they use the
cry simply to delude the ignorant
and keep alive the embers of pref
udice. 1t is the weapon of the
demagogue and schemer, who
knows that by its free use he can
perpetuate himself in power. The
negro is disfranchised as thorough
ly lis it is possible for him to be,
and he will remain so for all time,
unless the men who are now run
ming things should fall ont and
see fit to work him in. The negro,
as rule, has submitted to the
and is making no effort
to regain his lost ground. If the
politicians will just let him alone
he will drop out Of sight and re-
main so forever. You disfran-
chised him, now let him alone
He is dead, politically, and is, in
consequence, harmless.
