but they are cheerful about their work
and not always sulking. 1t is true that
the mate has to use a good deal of
profanity to get the negroes to work,
but all they need is a good hauling
over the Goals and they are all right.
! Once in a while you run across an un-
ruly one Inc it is necessary to use a
little more than moral persuasion, but
as a rule we do not have Any trouble
with Them"
There are over a score of negro
roosters on the st. Paul and the crowd
around the dock was furnished with
plenty of amusement yesterday after
noon in watching their antics. Any
unluck rooster who happened to slip
or drop his corner of a bale was sub
jected to a storm Of derisive cries,
such as Whats the matter wiz you
nigah," or lis o all to sick to wo'k'
and now and then some grinning ras-
cal would poke q bit of fur at one of
his comrades which would bring forth
a shout of laughter from all observers.
The passengers of the st. Paul have
a new amusement between stations
which never fails to create a storm of
mirth. They take a big shallow par
of -four and throw nickels in it and
then watch the roosters fish for the
coins with their mouths, temporarily
turning their black c~ountenances into
White ones.
GEO. ROBERTS DOES NOT LIKE IT

The element In the republican party
which has adopted the designation of
standpatters, controlled the recent
state convention and used their power
to commit the party of this state to a
more extreme definition of the doc
trine OF protection than has perhaps
eve been made in this state before.
Before the convention met there was
considerable talk in favor of modera-
ton, but the sense of power, and the
delights of revenge We're too much TO
be withstood and the faction in o n
troll concluded to have all the satlsfac-
ton it's triumph could afford. That
Governor Cummins was made a dele
gate is not to be interpreted as an act
of f~orbearance or generosity for it
was not inspired by any such purpose.
His election was simply the carrying
out of n part of the program planned

was deemed advisable.
We say this without intending to
suggest that the governor had n
claims upon the "st~andpatters." He
made a new declaration of war at the
beginning of this campaign and an
nounced that he would have no COM
promise conference or arrangement
In advance of the convention. No one
not in harmony with him was to go to
the national convention il he could
prevent 1t. The outcome has 10 been
as he desired and he. could, and we
presume would have made no COM
plaint il he ia been left off the dele
CATION. That he was not excluded is
due to the fact that early In the cam
paign Mr.. Blythe committed himself
to a policy which he has not felt at
liberty to entirely ~repudiate. We re-
greet that, whether from inability or
indisposition, he has fallen consider
ably short of his declared and publish
ed purposes upon the platform. The
new platform does not substantially
follow" the platform OF last year, as
in several public interviews he declar-
ed it should.

not too much to say that ell views are
needed for a proper determinations,

within the republican party, the Mes
