is opposed on the ground that such ar

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN
COLOR LINE!.
We had.occasion to remark on they
peculiar attitude assumed.- by Messrs.
Jones, Teller and Edmonds in the dis
cussion of the -Chinese question in1
which .these gentlemen, representative
Republicans, and in former day stal
wart champions of the political and
civil rights of the colored man, an
nounced views diametrically the oppo
site of those theji formerly euLectained,
some of them going so far as to say
that the enfranchisement of the color
ed man was a mistake, and if it had to
be done over aain, with' the' light of
experience, before them, they would not
vote for it. We have now to add to this
number Mr. McLure, Republican from
Ohio, who in discussing the Chinese
question declared himself the friend
and protector of the white labor of the
Pacific coast from dishonorable compe
tition with Chinese labor. It is true he
does not mention the colored man, but
he emphasizes his friendship for the,
tcTj if e laborer as against the brown skin
ned Mongolian. He unhesitatingly and
unequivocally draws the color line and
arrays himself on the white side.
We agree with Mr. McLure in his
advocacy of the anti-Chinese bill, be
cause we don't believe that the labor
ing men of the Pacific States should be
left to compete for the food they earn
with hordes of serrMi coolies launched
in upon them as these miscalled Chinese
immigrants are, but call attention to
his line of argument and that adopted
by the other gentlemen mentioned to
show the change of heart which they
have undergone or the amazing hypocri
sy they have practiced in their cham
pionship of the equality of the races,
and in their efforts to abolish the dis
tinctions that had prevailed. They were
either playing a false part then, or have,
changed, or are playing a false part now.
The probabilities are that the are
speaking candidly and giving utterance
to their true sentiments, for, as a mat
ter of fact Republicans never did be
lieve in. the doctrine they professed of
the equality of the races, and never
treated the colored man, no matter how
deserving he might be individually,
with the same consideration with which
they treated the white man, no matter
how undeserving he might be. In the
Northern States where -the Republicans
have ever since the organization of the
party had supreme control, the colored
man has been universally ignored, and
not on3, through the agency of their
pretended friends, has ever been lifted
to any prominence politically or social
ly. Where they have attained any ad
vancement at all in the North it ha3
been by their own efforts and against
the prejudice ' that crushed while it
falsely pretended to befriend. Even in
Washington with a Republican admin
istration in power for the past twenty
years but few have met with any recog
nition, and that of an insignificant char
acter politically and none at all socially.
In the Southern States while they have
constituted and still constitute the
great bulk qf the party, they are prac
tically, ignored and treated as a mere
cipher in weight or influence, while de
signing, selfish and unprincipled white
men have used them and reaped the
substantial benefits of their support.
Jones, Teller, Edmunds and McLure
are taking no new position in fact, they
are only throwing off the disguise and
appearing in their true colors.
SLOW PROGRESS.
Notwithstanding the length of time
Congress has been in session but very
little legislation of general interest has
been passed. The time seems to have
been devoted to discussing measures of
minor importance, to loading the calen
dar with bills the majority of which
will never be reached, and in staving
off discussion on the questions of real
importance in which the country takes
an interest. The tariff question, for in
stance, is taken up day after day, and
day after day set aside, both sides ap
parently being afraid to tackle it and
each waiting till the opposite side
makes some blunder that may be taken
advantage of. The Chinese immigra
tion bill was rushed through the Senate
in obedience to the demands of the
popular voice of the Pacific States. It
was a political measnre and owes its
prompt passage to the fact that the
votes of those States are an important
factor in Presidential elections. Neith
er party dared go on record against the
anti-polygamy bill, and hence also its
passage by the votes of both parties.
The fact is the leaders on both sides are
playing a nice game, neither caring to
take any steps that the other may turn
to advantage in the great questions
that may become leading issues in the
politics of the future, Such as the tariff,
internal taxes, appropriations for in
ternal improvements, &c. There is
work enough on the calendars to keep
both houses busy for thenext four
years, but at the present rate of progress
there will be enough to last forty years
and have some left.
FINE BUILDINGS.
There seems to be a rage among peo
ple of wealth in New York for fine
buildings, in which neither extravat
gance of architecture nor cost are con
sidered.' A. T. Stewart led off a few
years before his death with a magnifi
cent structure on Fifth Avenue, which
cost a couple of millions, and was said
to be the finest private' residence in
America. But he didn't live long to en
joy it. ;
Since then Vanderbilt's costly pile has
been erected and eclipses the Stewart
mansion so far as to leave no room for
comparison, the cost being no considera
tion. They say it is a wonder of design
and ornamental finish, from basement
to turret. The description reads like a
creation of fancy. To rival Yanderbilt
another of Gotham's money king pro
poses to erect a wigwam that will
throw his into, the shade, "while Uncle
Sammy Tilden, old batchelor as he is,

Bfll is Discussed Fro and Con.
Washington, March 21. At 12:10
this a. m., a final roll call was ordered
and no quorum being present an un
derstanding was reached that after the
reading of the journal to-day the House

submitted by Hewitt, of New York,
namely, making the Geneva award bill
the special order for April 11th, and
thence from day to day till disposed of,
but not to interfere with the revenue
and appropriation bill, the tariff com
mission bill and the bill referring pri
vate claims to the court of claims. The
House then, at 12:45, adjourned.
According to the agreement made at
the end -of last night's session the House
proceeded to vote upon the compromise
proposition making the Geneva award

Gibson, of Louisiana, presented a tel
egram received from the Belief Com
mission at New Orleans giving a state
ment of the destitution caused by the
overflow of the Mississippi river, and
declaring that the supplies of rations
received from the war department
have been exhausted, and that the com
mission is in receipt of additional de
mands for fully 300,000 rations. Or
dered to be printed in the Record.
In reply to a question by Cox, of
New York, Mr. Page, of California, sta
ted that he would call the previous
question on the Chinese bill to-morrow
at 3 o'clock, and then the morning hour
having been dispensed with considera
tion of that bill was resumed by the
House.
McLure, of Ohio, contended that
Congress not only had power to pass
the bill, but that its provisions were ex
pressly warranted by the Chinese
treaty. He favored the passage of
the bill on the ground of expediency,
and in conclusion said that the He
publican party was committed to the
principles of the bill freedom of labor
should it now turn its back on its old
battle flag, its old war cry, and its plat
form as mere clap-trap, and be recreant
to its high trust? He, as a protection
ist, as a Republican, stood by the white
labor of the Pacific States against the
dishonorable competition of Chinese la
bor, and he could vote for the bill with
a clear conscience. (Applause).
The remainder of the day's session
was taken up by speeches on tneChinese
bill, several members speaking on both
sides of the question. The Dill then
went over without action. Adjourned.

for the construction of a pontoon train,
$1,000 for contingencies for superin
tendent of academy, and 85.000 for a
swimming bath for use of instruction
of cadets.
The bill then passed and the. Senate
resumed the consideration of the tariff
commission bill, and Morgan addressed
the Senate, upon the necessity of a
prompt tariff - revision by the commit
tees of Congress in preference to the
commission plan. '
. Morgan criticized the dilatoriness of
Congress in taking actiOB, and said he
would have voted for a commission if
so long a period Of inaction had not
elapsed.
VanWyck secured the floor, but yield
ed temporarily, and the bill was infor
mally laid aside for general business.
. On motion of Brown, the House bill
establishing distinct United States
courts, with separate , officers, for the
northern and southern judicial districts
of Georgia, passed. ft

Distributing Forage Fearful1 Destitu
tion. Baton Rouge, La., March 11. Gen.
York, the agent appointed to distribute
forage, telegraphs the Governor from
Troy, La., reporting the distribution of

Gen. Skobeleff.
General Skobeleff inherits his milita
ry qualities from his grandfather and
father, who' were both generals and
chevaliers of St. George. From his
mother he derives his disposition and
his intlleetual tastes. She was a woman
of lofty, thoughts, and the general ven
erates her memory. .
The Skobeleff family was poor and
had no ancestral line, but its social
prestige, which was entirely due to the
force of character and accomplish
ments of the late Mme. Skobeleff, be
came so great that the noblest . families
in Russia sought to be allied to it.
