| VIII it help or will it harm? This is
the question which Democrats are ask
/ ing each other with respect to CX-Presi-
{ dent Clevcland's Endorsement Of the can
didacy of Judge Parker. The responses,
while expressing only individual opin-
/ ions, differ as widely as 90 the sections
/ represented by those who discuss the
matter.
Generally speaking, Democrats coming
Z from the East, who are themselves Ia
vorabIe 10 the nomination of the New
/ York jurist, are pleased. Those from
the middle West and middle South are
in doubt while. as q rule. those from
/ he far West. Southwest. and the North
west fear that JuGge Parker, entering
the race wearing any of the cOiors OF
( Grover Cleveland, viii be carrying too
much weight as they say in the pad
dock.
Some Of Judge Parkcr's best friends,
even IN the East believe that she Cleve-
land interview was iu-timed TO DO Judge
Parker good Notwithstanding the fact
that they are GLAD to know that their
favorite meets with the approval Of the
ex-President and, if nominated can de
pend upon the support Of the Cleveland
wing of the party They have all along
=
just the man to unite the two factions
and bring TO the aid OF the ticket both
the followers of Cleveland and Of Bryan.
At the same time they fear that Mr.
ClevelanC"s ino~-sement may. under the
circumstances, have been too precipi-
tate.
Should Have Waited.

The condition up to the time Of Mr..
Clevelands most recent utterances was
just this. Everything was going Parker's
way. Almost daily recruits from the
! ranks of the regulars were coming into
the Parker camp. Almost daily dele
gates We're being elected to the New
York State convention pledged TO vote

to learn the action Of New York and
ready to fan in line for him His friends
desired to do nothing which could be

Conditions n Texas.
For instance. in Texas the Parker feel

did not know Judge Parker Texas IS a
State still friendly TO Bryan. and now
that the Texans learn that Judge Par
ker comes to them and seeks their sup

doubt then. it is asserted, the indorse-

Even six weeks or q month later they
would have been Of greater value TO
Judge Parker than now, as then it is
calculated that enough delegates would
have been instructed for Parker to give
him strong lead over all the other
candidates. AS yet no delegates to the
national convention are instructed for
Parker.
Endorsement Surprise.
The fact that Mr.. Cleveland should
have given his unqualified Endorsement
Of Judge Parker so early IN the game

those who remember that Mr.. Cleveland
has always been most guarded and dip
lOmatic in his utterances. and inclined
to evade direct expressions rather than
commit himself upon political ques-

Presidency In short, some OF Judge
Parker's best friends would have been

In 1868 a commission was appoint
ed by the secretar yof war to examine
and report upon the condition of the
recently emanciDated freedmen of
the United States. This commission
ascertained that the free colored
persons of Louisiana. in the year
1860, paid taxes OF an assessment of
$13,OOO,O00!
That statement is hard to believe,
and vet it comes from an official
source. AS mentioned above, the ne
gro population of Louisiana at that
time was 1851. which would indl-
cate an average for each colored free
person a property holding of 500 IN
1860. Granting that this average
was maintained throughout the south
the free negroes Of this section owned
propertv at the beginning Of the war
aceregating $15O,0O0.
We have no means Of providing
this. as the census reports Of 1860 OBJ
tainable in this city do not give any
information on this point, but the
Louisiana exhibit is, at least, signlti-
cant.

NEGROES WEALTH.

(Riehmond (va) Times.)


Giles Jackson made an interesting
statement before the Congressional
Committee on Industrial Arts and
Expositions in his plea for an appro-
priation for negro exhibit at the
Jamestown Exposition. But the ex-
hibit is not so flattering to the negro
race as might at first blush appear.
According to Jackson's statement, the
negroes of the United States own
farms and personal property valued
at $23S, 100000. The negro popula-
ton is now about 100000, so that
the property holdings of the negro
race as above are about $26 per capt.

SeafOrd Has Scare.

Tuesday night panic was narrowly
averted in Coulbourn's Opera House,
Seaford. during a performance given by
a medicine show company. The house
was packed. nearly 600 people being
present, many women and children be-
ing among the audience. AS the curtain
went up for the second act. and while
Manager Lea was standing in front of
the stage, some one ignited newspaper
and threw IL out of the boX-office
window.
The 600 people were on their feet in
an instant, and rush was made for the
stairway. Manager Lea reached the
door first. and waved the frenzied
crowd back, telling them the fire was
under control. Women and children
screamed and several tainted, but in a
few minutes Manager Lea had the
crowd quoted sufficiently to continue
the show. The fire was extinguished
by citizens on the outside.

"FRAUD!"

Whenever the Republicans of
Maryland meet defeat at the
polls they cry Fraud as loud
as the good Lord will let them.
They are not a bit game,-they
play their cards before the
finish for all there is in them
and bluff and cheat to the
queens taste, but when the
show down comes, they do the
baby act if they lose the game.
Although the Presidential cleo
ton in this State was won Oy
the Democrats, who, if they had
not been too sanguine of VIC
tory would have been more
emphatically successful, yet
the Republicans talk of making
a contest on the ground of
frauds having been committed
although the only ballot box
broken open in the State was
broken into by one of Mudd's
