The! end is looked forward to with j interest. j Ex-Speaker Carl isle ex plain j e.l to si democrat ie caucus of j the House the changes that, the republican members ofj thee intuit tee on Rules, nndj he.tlso pointed out why cer-; tain of tht.' chat, ges proposed! would be particularly objec-j tionable to the minority.! Then.' was a general discus sion, both of the Kules, sun of the now plainly tobe scen.i intentions of the republicans to giveeaay republican con-j lestant the seat now held by' si democrat. No resolution! of any sort was adopted out it was m vert hch ss well un derstood that if the republi cans attempt tohringupaad dispose of the contested ensej of Snath vs. Jackson, which ; has already been reported toj the House, before the Rules! sire adopted, the democrats would resort to every legiti mate method of defeating; them, even to the extent of breaking a quorum. In this connection the fact may be mentioned that the demo crats in the House lack dis cipline. They have splendid leaders, but they don't prop erly support them. And worse than sill, many of them are constantly out of their seats, just when their votes are most needed. Speaker Heed's decision might have been o- vrrridden on two occasions, last week, if the democratic absentees had occupied their seats. It took Senator Intnlls ex actly two hours to tell the Senate what he didn't know about the nice problem. The language used was mild, com pared with the Kansas Sena tor's previous speeches. The World's Fair isn't set ting solved an easily and as promptly as it was generally expected to be. The Senate commit tee is to meet Friday.

Should not the cote of the sigiliition fort h ? Certainly there would have been no point but forj 1 he a 1 tempt to force the ne-. - , 1 ain this position, we will mention the lack of hiatus in the South between the two races, before this r.ttetnpt tnde of each side. I he South says let us sllone. A c'sish comes, and to distr.ict sttten- turn, oratorical by-plays find are oifered. Fverytime the South does Vvati-e'siny thing- to bring forward this question, we think it is net ing th:' ))iirt of uawisihun.

We say techni cality, because the amend ment si fleets people who Intd no part in its pass.ige. Rut the te hniciility of the North is truth to outside eais, and our truth is perverted into a spirit of fraud .and tyranny. If the negro msitter is to be longer argued. The South should meet the North square ly, state the issue, state it truthfully, put itforth naked ly, sind simply say we do not intend to be ruled civilly or otherwise in In South by the negro. If the amendment is sprung on us in response, we can well reply that wesireca- j nauj,, f taking care of wnat j WP own. siml c;in easily choose our own Laborers. The ne gro is valuable as w laborer, but his status now, is that of a laborer only. Therfore, the Southern white men have always sm industrial remedy in hand. The South will certainly re ject his labor, valuable sis it may be, before it will accept his civil supremacy. There is no doubt of this. The ne gro is getting along well now prospering in his proper place i;md the South should, sis hu i as he is concerned, lie on the ! defensive, and.not on the of- ' fiitiwit'M Wii "t-tmvnfrwo 1 1 1 1 M L" ! scheme, for this reason smd many others, unwise.

Should forn come into phiy, then the industiral lever can be Used. Meanwhile, let us go on ns we sire until we are forcid to do Mituething. For, the truth is. there is no problem except in the wicked hesirts of Northern agitsitors. We sire doing the best we can with the negro, and he isssit isfied, growing more prosper ous and more enlightened. The mot to of the South should be first, let ussilone; next, we must be let alone; next, we will do without ne gro labor before we will put up with negro rule. Stand still, South, let the North do the sigit si ting ( 'A.? 1I0 tto Dcniocmt. ACilvrTK Danville, Vsi., Jan. 27. Mrs. Com Scales Morris, of Reidsville, N.
