on the race problem in the July
Arena.
He declares the confeiring the
right of suffrage on the negro was a
violation of the constitution, and he
quotes General Grar#s message as
follows to sustain that position:
"A measure which. m<tkes at once
four millions of people voters who
were heretofore declared,by the highest
tribunal in the land, no citizens of
the United States, not eligible to be
come so, is indeed a measure of
grander importance than any one
other act of the kind from the foundation
of eur free government to the
present day."'
He also says the Republicans admit
that giving the negroes suffrage was
a mistake, though they cannot afford
to say so in public, because they
would lose the negro vote. He also
says an overwhelming majority of the
people of the country would vote for
the abrogation of the negroes right of
suffrage if it was submitted" to them,
but as it will never be submitted, he

tion of the negroes by their own consent,
and with lavish appropriations
by the federal government for their
help.
He asks why the right of suffrage
should be given the negro when it is
denied the Indian and the Chinese.
"The former." says he, "was certainly
a citizen of this country until
it was wrested from his hands, and
the latter can boast a much higher
civilization than a negro has ever or
will ever attain, and yet in his case
the most brutal laws have been enacted,
not only to exclude him from
citizenship, but to drive him from the
country, in violation of solemn treaty
stipulation. Such has been the inconsistency
of the Republican party,
in their senseless advocacy of univi-i
sal suffrage, they have not only
tiuownwide open the doors leading
iu American citixenship, admitting
thus the- anarchist, the communist,
tue nihilist and ail other scum ?f
Eai'opeim nations, but they have injected
into our body politic millions
of ignorant, uneducated blacks, who
have no more comprehension of our
system of government than their
A;rican forefathers had. And all the
cvii resulting from this frightful
tibe i';dis on that portion of the
country where, but a few years ago,
tiiese newly enfranchised voters were
Thp rnade against
slavery was on the ground that the
condition of servitude brought men
to the level of beasts, unfitting them
to discharge any of the daties of
manhood. But when the direful exigencies
of the war forced the North
to call the colored brother to its aid,
to escapse defeat, as a reward for his
eminent services, he was clothed with
all the attributes of American citizenship,
thus giving him the power to
take possession of those States in
which he had been for centuries a
slave. Now, if slavery had debased
him to the condition of a beast, he
was scarcely fitted to assume rule of
grer.t, free ana proud commonwealths;
u lie was fitted to do so. then slavery
had done more for his race than all
the missionaries who had labored for
generations in Africa to reseue him
from barbarism and savagely. Our
friends whose chief political capital
is the negro, may choose whichever
/ hom of this dilemma promises to gore
them least. But we must meet the
fact that the negro, whether rightfully
or wrongfully, is a citizen and a
voter, and this fact gives a right and
% significance to the race problem whi ch
threatens such disaster to the country,
and "to all of its most cherished institutions.

been alluded to, that of revoking
negro citizenship, but it has been dis?
missed as impracticable, because our
peopb have not the courage to face
this issue which would rectify the
greatest wrong ever inflicted on a
free people.
"As this remedy cannot be applied,
we must turn to the ^ext best thing,'
and in my judgment that would be
_ the deportation of the negroes, of
course by their consent, to some
place where they could work out
their own destiny, free from contact
wif.h fhe -nr'hif-.p race, and where thev
could prove their capacity for selfgovernment,
if they possess it. Thousands
of them, and many of the best,
have expressed a wish to try this experiment,
and our government should
aid them, not only with a liberal, but
; a lavish hand- Let us help them to
establish a nationality for themselves,
when they can show to the world that
' the lessons they have learned here
have bome good fruit, and that the
savage who was brought from Africa
is now a civilized, law-abiding, selfsustaining

shortly after midnight at Pine City.
The Minnesota lawgivers seem to
have desired to add gloom and solemv.
nity to a ceremony most gruesome at
best, but the hour must be a very inconvenient
and untimely one for the
murderer himself. Every attentive
reader of the accounts of executioners
knows that a baby never enjoys
balmier and sweeter slumber than a
condemned murderer the night befhre
he is to be hanged. He also
knows that he takes a very excellent

The refreshing sleep and the hearty
breakfast are always the features of
. the few hours that precede an execution.
But under the new law there
will be no such enjoyment for the
murderer in Minnesota. He will go
to bed after supper, be called up in
the middle of his sleep, and be hanged
on an empty stomach.?Chicago

! MAY ROB US ANOTHER WAY1
Republicans May Kush Through an Appor
; tionment Eased on a False Census.
j Washington, D. C.. July 10. ?There
is a revival of the scheme mentioned
; in the Star some time ago of crowd,
iiig an appointment bill through the
; present Congress while the Republi'
cans have a safe majority in both
Houses. The results of the census
; just completed, or alleged to be completed,
'.vill control the basis of representation
in the lower house of Congress
for the next ten years. A preliminary
summary of the results, informally
submitted to the Republican
bosses, it is said, shows large
gains received in the Republican
States of the Northwest, while in the
Democratic Southern States there is '
made to appeal* a falling off in popu-1
lation which will materially reduce j
the basis of representation. Some of
flip "Ra-nublioan leaders in the Senate
are quietly urging upon their colleagues
that by the prompt tabulation
of the returns of the eleventh
census and the speedy passage of an
apportionment bill based thereon, a
continuation of the power of the.
Republican party in the lower House
can be more effectually assured than
by the passage of the Lodge Election
law. Th?Y argue that the provisions
of the force bill are so repugnant to
the general sentiment of the communities
in which it is proposed to
put them in operation that the execution
of the law, even if it can be
passed by the Senate, it is believed,
will be practically impossible. A new
apportionment, on the other hand,
passed by a Republican House and
Senate, and approved by a JttepuDncan
President, striking off fifteen or
twenty representatives from districts
now represedted by Democrats, and
adding thirty or forty new members
to States deemed reliably Kepublican,
it is hoped, will give a steady working
majority in the House for ten
years to come.
The trouble is with the next election.
Even the most reckless partisan
hardly dare to suggest that the
'new apportionment bill should be
made to apply to the elections to take
place next November, and for which
a large number of nominations have
already been made on the present
recognized lines. A tentative sug
gestion, timely advanced, is that until
the Legislatures of the different
States have had time to adjust their
Congressional districts to the new apportionment,
Congress might enact a
law maintaining the districts as existing
in the present Congress. This, it is
thought, might avert threatened losses
in Ohio and Iudiana and answer
the purpose contemplated by the
McComas national gerrymander bill.
But this proposition is not supported
with sufficient strength to insure its
passage by the House and it would
surely fail in the Senate. So the plan
reverts to the original idea of crowding
the new apportionment bill
through before the expiration of the
fifty-first Congress, whiie all three
branches ol tne government are m
the hands of the same party, without
waiting to take any risks off the next
November elections.
Superintendent Porter can, of
course, be relied upon to facilitate
this scheme in every way by hastening
the final tabulation and report.
On all previous occasions the new apportionment
based on the completed
census has been made in a leisurely
and orderly manner by the Congress
succeeding the one which controlled
the taking of the census. The propriety
of this course would seem ap
parent to any party less bent on pen
petuating its own power, regardless
of the meaDS employed.?;New York

LODGE AND HEMPHii.LPen
Pictures of the Leaders in t>u V.Wc
tions Bill Contest.
There is a striking contrast be- j
tween Mr. Lodge, the leader of the |
Republican forces m the conios: over :
the federal election bill, ana -;iv. |
Hemphill. who by virtue of his posi- j
tion on the committee on the election
of President and Vice-President, is
at the head of the opposition. 3Ir.
Lodge has more contradictory traits
of character thanjiny man I know of
m tne House. ?ic is a curious coin-1
bination of liberal reformer and dema- j
gogue: of broad intelligence and bit- j
ter partisanship. In his character as j
partisan he is admired by his col- j
leagues and has a considerable following.
As a reformer he hasscarcely
any following in the House and is
sneered at by those who are his associates
and admirers in his other
character. His associates are of two
classes. Those who follow his lead j
on the federal election question call i
him a political dude when he talks j
civil service reform. Wlieri he ap-1
pears as a reformer of political math- i
ods he is superb but ineffective, but I
in party intrigue he will go further !
than some of his less intellectual and !
less enlightened associates. He is |
clever however, in the assumption of |
hierh motive in his partisan action, i
and is too shrewd to use denunciation |
instead of argument. The best presentation
of his side of the Federal
election question that lias been made,
and the best that can be made, was
that which was . made in his opening
argument. He is not an orator ana
never lises to the point of eloquence.
His speeches are finished literary productions,
and lie delivers them with
an appearance of earnestness. Hs is
a fair representative of the intelligent
but bigoted young Republicans of
New England, still retaining the
strain of Puritan blood.
Mr. Hemphill is a good representative
of the progressive young men
of the South. If Mr. Reed, hi a

spirit oi ma/giiuuiuiiLv, uuu su utr i
signed it, he could not have done better
for the Democrats than he did in |
the appointment of Mr. Hemphill to j
the head of the minority committee :
which was to consider this bill. He j
is not a fire eater. He is calm, dis- \
passionate, logical and a good lawyer, j
It would be much easier to throw i
Mr. Reed, Mr. Lodge or any other j
cold-blooded Ne\y Englander into a I
passion than to provoke an indiscretion
on the part of this young South
Carolinian. He is fan- and frank.
His speech is slow and somewhat
halting at first. There is never anything
in his manner to provoke antagonism;
he never forgets to be
courteous to his opponent, however
bitter that oppenent may be. He is
not as graceful a writer as is Mr.

as well rounded, lie does not attempt j
as much effect with his voice, but as j
he advances with his argument, feel-1
ing what he says, as he did on open- j
ing the case for the South in this dis-1
cussion, he becomes eloquent without
effort and without knowing it. There
is a frank earnestness in what he says
which impressess his hearers. His
voice, his maimer and his speech arc- !
peal for fair play, and give promise of
fair play in return. His speeches are
the work of a lawyer rather than a
litterary man, but he is a scholarly
and as able as is the young statesman
from Massachusetts. The contrast
between the two men is such as to
make them suitable antagonists.

THE VETO OFTHE LOTTERY IBiLL.
" . I
What Gov.XiclioIIs Predicts as tlie Result of j
the Passage of the Bill,
Governor Nicholls,?of Louisiana, |
in his recent veto of the lottery bill,
said:
l say to this general assembly in
all earnestness that should this measure
be passed we will enter upon a
period of strife such as has never
been seen before in Louisiana, and
should this contemplated corporation
ever be formed, we shall enter j
lmnn n/nprn, nf prvmTntinn nnfl drera
dation,beside -which the era of Reconstruction
will appeal* as one of boner
and happiness.
And let me say that should this
measure be adopted and carried out.
in my opinion no good will ever come
of the money which we will receive
as the price of your honor and our
liberty. Extravagance, profiigacy
and corruption will assuredly follow
the receipt as night follows uay. I
feel thoroughly satisfied that tlie fact
of the adoption of the measure will
be that while the six-mill taxes will
be kept there will be an immediate
falling off in the Legislative appropriations
for charitable and other"
purposes for which this money will
have been directed to be applied, and
a wondrous corresponding increase
of the application of the general fund
to the payment of the interest bearing
debt.
At the end of twenty-five years
there will be the same claim of poverty
in Louisiana and the same claim
on its behalf for the continued existence
of the lottery. So far as a claim
for necessity of the present meas
ure is sough to be predicated upon
the assumed condition of the poverty
of Louisiana, I, as .its governor, pronounce
it totally without justification
or warrant. Some other motive for
this measure must be found than
that her people are unable honorably
to carry out the duties of Statehood.
Knowing this measure as I
do, as one dishonoring and degrading
Louisiana, it has met, as it will
continue to meet, my most determined
opposition.

No Music half So Sweet as the Memory oj :
Those Teoilrr Lines.
The mothers c- to-day do not sing !
a.s the mothers did i:: i:;:ig sjrne." said j1
a man whose business cares have uevei !1
overcome ami crowded out the soul of i
poetry and the memory of a happy boy- j
hood. "You seldom hear a woman i

"So it is. The modern mother does

mothers used to s:hit. ^ne mis nine

the advantages of a musical education
she says she cannot sing.
Then, too. the songs of to-day are
not like and never will be like those
old songs. They do not touch the
heart and give the heart's feeling utterance
through the lips. There are
beautiful songs set to music, of course,
and wonderful voices sing them on the
stage and in the drawing-room, but
how seldom it is we hear a song that
thrills and charms us and brings the
"pearls of feeling" to our eyes. A
voice pteases us uuu we ueui uuim; luc
satisfaction of having heard, an artist oi
artists, but we will forget the singer
and the song: long before we forget one
word or note of the one who sang
"Bonnie Doon"' and "Annie Laurie."
There are those of us who will nevei
forget the summer evenings, the ripple
of the brook in the distance, the stir ol
the woodbine leaves around the window,
the sweet fragrance of the "birkv
from the neighboring wood, when the
mother sang "Aftou Water1'and rocked
her baby to sleep.
And then there were other songs that
stirred our childish hearts, "The

When thousands had sunk to the ground overpowered.

Our childish imagination could
picture the soldier, always haudsome,
in his uniform lying down on the field
of battle to sleep under the stars, the
pine knots' blaze scaring away the
prowling wolves, and he dreaming of
hearing his "own mountain goats
bleating aloof," and of hearing "the
sweet song that the corn reapers sung."
There was another song, old, very
old: "On the Lake Where Drooped the
Willow," the story of a girl who died
in autumn. And: "I'll Hang My Harp
on the Willow Tree," which later-day
Bacon-Shakspeareans tell us was dedicated
to her Majesty, Victoria. There

A High-Priced Artist.
In r-a elegantly appointed studio, not
a hundred miles from Hartford, sat one
of our noted artists in thought. He
was earnestly contemplating a design
for a cathedral window, and a look of
annoyance flashed across his facs as
the door suddenly fiuug open to admit
the figure of a lady. The look vanished
instantly, however, as the artist advance
to meet his visitor.
"Are you Mr. ?" asked the lady
shortly, yet casting a furtive glance at
her muddy boots, buried deep in the
pile of the beautiful Persian rug.
"I am, madam."

you a commission. I want you to clesign
the toe of this slipper for me. The
design itself is to be embroidered in the
shape of a slipper. It is for the City
Mission fair and I must have it immediately.

"Pardon rue, madam,11 courteously
repliecMhe artist, "your kindness iu
giving me the commission is fully appreciated,
"but as I have not the honor
of knowing you I must ask you to pay
me in advance."
"Oh, certainly," responded the lady,
with great readiness, drawing out a
well-lilled purse. "How much will it
ne?"
"Four hundred and seventy-five dollars,
madam."
"What!" screamed his visitor.
"Four hundred and seventy-five dollars."
calmly responded the gentleman.
"What do you mean?" demanded
the lady, growing more and more astonished.
"Just what I sav, madam," quietly

The ladj- gave a final glance around I
the studio, luled with European, curios
of every description arid adorned with
artistic -works, from the magnificent
picture in oils, covering half the wall,
to a dainty, delicious little landscape,
which iu its very delicacy was a marvel,
and, with another look at her muddy !
shoe and a parting. "Well, I don't believe
you are the kind of artist I am

Another Convention Called.
The tenants, hirelings and laborers
of every vocation, also those that
sympathize with them and desire the
betterment of their condition, and
who look upon ' Tillmanism" as the
synonym of a landed aristocracy organized
to oppress and deprive them
of their lights as freemen, are hereby
called to meet at their various county
seats on Monday, August 4th, 1890,
and to elect delegates to double the
number of the members they have in
the General Assembly of the State to
a convention of laborers and freemen,
to be held in the city of Columbia, S.
C., on August 27th, 1890, for the pur
pose of taking into consideration the
betterment of their condition, and, if
i found practicable, to nominate a State
ticket, from Governor down, subject
to the Democratic State Convention.

Born With Teeth.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Carl Kimble,
cf No. 44 Kin del avenue, gave
birth to twins. Tiie doctors who
were in attendance at the birth of
the babes noticed that they were
exceptionally large and well develop
ed. Greatly to their surprise upon
examining one of the twins it was
discovered that it posessedtwo large
lower front teeth, which are at least
an eighth of an inch in length and
perfectly formed. The teeth are of
a pearly whiteness and look as natural
as those of a child six or eight
years old. This is a rare occurrence,
and a similar one has never teen recorded
before. There have been
.~?ses where there was one tooth
when a single child was bom but
never before when there were twins.

Drinks for Warm Weather;
"Lemonade and buttermilk are as
good as anything drinkable that you
can find for this weather," said a
physician.
"They both are great things tc
quench thirst. They both 'act as a
pleasant tonic to the stomach and
they have a stimulating quality. But
they should not be drunk ice-cold?
That is, bits of ice should not be in
the goblet. Let them be as cold as
tiie ice chest or remgerator can
make them, but not more than that.
When you pour down your throat a
pint or so of fluid that is fresh from
the ice temporary paralysis of the
stomach follows. If a man happens
to be very hot, such a thing not infrequently
is as fatal as lightning."
Weakness.
How many suffer from weakness!
And what a distressful ailment it is.
Always praying for strength and yet
feeling oneself growing weaker and
weaker. There is great virtue in
B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) as a
strengthening as well as a healing
medicine. Try it as a tonic and see
how much better you will feel. It
will improve both appetite and digestion.
It is an excellent remedy to use
while convalescing. It aids a natural
and rapid recovery. In cases where
an invalid has remained long in bed
and bed sores or other ulcers break
out. this remedv will afford quick
relief.
