WILMINGTON, N. C.
Thursday Morning. Feb. 13,1890.
A MISSISSIPPI SOLTJTIOir.
A member of the Mississippi legis
lature proposes a heroic way of set
tling the race problem, and a very
effective one, too, if it could be car
ried out. It is the repeal of the fif
teenth amendment which confers the
right of suffrage upon the negro. He
argues that negro suffrage is the
cause of trouble and when that
wiped out there will be no more
trouble and that everything wi
move on harmoniously. If this gen
tleman undertook to lift himself into
the Presidency of the United States
by the seat of his trousers he would
undertake something about as easy of
accomplishment as the repeal of this
amendment. Negro suffrage may not
be one of the most desirable things in
the world for the South. She
didn't want it when it was forced
upon her, and she has certainly had
no reason to grow enthusiastically
fond of it since she has had it, in
view of her experience; but she has
it, it is here to stay, and with her
wise, level head, she is going to make
the most of it.
The Republican party which gave
the negro the right of suffrage, not
because it would benefit the negro,
but benefit itself, could not consist
ently give its consent to an act dis
franchising him. In addition to this,
no authority could be found any
where for the disfranchisement of
any one except as a punishment for
crime, real or alleged. It may be
argued that there was no law for
their enfranchisement, which is
true, and that they are therefore in
a strictly legal sense not citizens at
all although they have been exercis
ing the rights of citizenship for twenty-three
years, but the Southern peo
ple have accepted this as one of the
results of the restored Union, have
acquiesced in it, and both parties
have appealed to and utilized the ne
gro vote as far as they could, which
practically settles the question of
suffrage and places it beyond the
pale of successful dispute. This be
ing so, being recognized by the North
and South there is no probability of
its ever being touched.
If they were not so absolutely
committed to it, and it could be abol
ished, there is not the slightest doubt
that the leaders of the Republican
party would not only consent to it,
but urge and encourage it to se
cure the reduction of representation
in the House of Representatives and
in the electoral college which would
result. That would make the Re
publican party supreme for many
years to come. In the present Con
gress the Democrats have 160 mem
bers, or had before the Republicans
raped the contested seat from
West Virginia. The reduced repre
sentative would take 32 out of this
number leaving the Democratic
strength 128 to 169 Republicans, a
Republican majority of 41, on which
they could always count lor a quo
rum without resorting to the trickery
that the majority in this CtjHgfgSS
has resorted to.
Then they would have, the South
just where they Want to have her
and where they have been trying to
put her and where they hoped and
tried their level best to put her when
they enfranchised the negro, that
is hopelessly in their power, politi
cally a mere dependent province,
powerless ) to establish any public
policy, powerless to resist any which
the Republicans might see fit to
establish. She would still have the
poor privilege of electing Senators
and Representatives, who would go
to Washington, take their seats, draw
their pay and be of no more practical
account, however able or brilliant
they might be, than so many Egyp-
tian mummies. 1 his and the privi
lege of paying taxes is about all that
would be left.
Then would come the reign of
ring rule, higher tariffhan ever, sub
sidies by the million, treasury loot
ing and schemes to plunder with
out limit, which have been held
in check by the presence of Demo
crats numerous enough not only to
protest but to prevent the big steals
when proposed. Legislation would
then be shaped so as to strike at the
South in every possible way and
cripple her in every possible manner
with the hope of checking her pro
gress, of which some of the good pa
triotic people on the other side of the
line have become so jealous and so
much afraid, and which they have
been trying to check and cripple by
the system of wholesale abuse and
slander, and the stirring up of sec
tional and race animosities, which
they have been indulging in for
years and are still indulging in. The
Mississippi statesman's proposition
would suit them splendidly if they
saw a way to carry it out.
MINOR MENTION"
The desperate straits to which the
Republican party is reduced as
illustrated by the arbitrary conduct
of the majority in the House, are
still further shown by the bill intro
duced by Senator Hoar in the Sen
ate, Tuesday, to prevent the redis
ricting of any State for Congres
sional purposes before the apportion
ment made by Congress in accord
ance with the census to be taken
this year. The purpose of this is
patent to every one. It is intended
to strike at Ohio, the only State
where there has been any talk of
redistricting, or any probability of
its being done, and he took mighty
good care not to introduce it until the
special elections had been held in
Ohio to fill the two vacant seats in the
State Senate and had been decided
in favor of the Democrats, giving
them an undisputed majority of
eight on joint ballot. The State law
makes it imperative on the legisla
ture to redistrict the State this year.
If the Legislature was Republican
not a chirp to the contrary would be
heard from the hoary-headed old
plotter, Hoar. Ohio has twenty-one
Representatives, sixteen of whom
are Republicans, five Democrats.
The Republicans got sixteen to five
by gerrymandering the State shame
fully, and the fear that the Demo
crats will so redistrict as to reverse
these figures and make the delega
tion in the next Congress stand six
teen Democrats to five Republicans,
which would be nearer the fair
thing, is what so much frightens
the dear brethren on the other side,
and what spurred the Massachu
setts Ajax of the God-and-mortality
party to hatch up this bill at this
time. This is simply a bold attempt
by Congressional action to throttle
Ohio, and shows that when throttling
may be necessary they do it with
quite as much rush on the other side
of the line, where they don't think
Democrats have any rights either.
This bill is purely revolutionary,
in the nature of an expost facto
law, to which, if passed, Ohio will pay
no attention. Submitted to the test
of the courts it wouldn't hold water
any more than a fish net.
Fear having been expressed by
some that the Farmers' Alliance of
Alabama would jeopardize Demo
cratic supremacy in that State, Col.
H. C. Tompkins, chairman of the
Democratic State Committee, says it
is a groundless apprehension, that
there are no good reasons to fear
dissensions in the party which would
produce serious results. "The party
is united," he says, "and will remain
so in self-defence." Before the last
election similar fears were enter
tained by some in this State as to the
possible influence of the Farmers'
Alliance in our election, as Oliver
Dockery, the Republican candidate
for Governor, being a farmer, al
though a very poor one, was a mem
ber of the Alliance. But as the cam
paign progressed and the votes were
counted Out at the close it was dem
onslfatedthat the members of the
Alliance were not influenced by that
fact, that they were as true as itee
to - North ' Carolina, that they let
Oliver Dockery severely alone, and
left him to pursue his monotonous
career on the banks of the raging
Pee Dee.
. - .
The ship subsidy boomers who
deplore the decay of the American
merchant marine, which now has
carrying trade of 61,000 tons less
than it had in 1810 and 1,500,000
less than it had in 1861, as shown by
official reports, tell us that the only
hope of ever bringing it to life again
is by Government bounties. If they
went honestly about this business
and were as anxious to find the
cause of this decay of our merchant
marine as they are to make a grab
at the treasury, they would find it
not in the alleged subsidies to ships
by other nations, but in the misera
ble destructive ReDublican tariff
policy which began in 1861, when
the decline in the carrying trade be
gan, and taxed ship building mate
rials so heavily .that it practically
killed the ship building industry in
this countrv. and thus wiped our
merchant marine practically from
the seas. When the English ship
builder can build a ship for thirty
per cent, less than the American can
under the Dresent tariff, it is not
difficult to understand why English
ships have got control of the carry
ing trade and driven American ships
from the ocean highways. Subsi
dies cannot revive what the tariff
svstem has destroved. while this
j .
tariff system remains.
A stock company with a capital of
$250,000, all of which has been sub
scribed, has been organized to estab
lish a big steel furnace at Pensacola,
Florida. The ores to be used are
Cuban ores which will be brought in
by sea barges, and Alabama ores
brought by rail. In order to work
these Cuban ores (the company will
have to pay the tariff duty on iron
ore, which, of course, will materially
increase the cost of running their
plant. With free iron ore there is no
reason why the iron manufacturing
industry might not become an es
tablished one in any of our South
Atlantic cities that saw fit to invest
capital in it. Thus the high tariff
strangles our industries.
3STATE TOPICS.
The Nashville Argonaut, comment
ing upon the completion of the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley railroad to
Wilmington, remarks that it is the
"most important event that has ever
occurred in the history of Wilming
ton," but reminds our business-'men
that to reap the full benefit of it
they must show enterprise and push
to develop trade, and hopes that they
will avail themselves of all the
splendid advantages this road gives
them, and make the most of them.
The kindly interest our esteemed
contemporary takes in the prosperi
ty of Wilmington does it credit and
is appreciated, and we assure it that
the businessmen of Wilmington fully
realize the importance of this great
work as well as the opportunities it
affords them to reach out into new
territory, that they are standing
square up on their feet, with both
eyes wide open and propose to get
there.
The Mount iAiry News mentions
the sale in that section of country
of the timber on 30,000 acres of
land, not the land but the timber, to
agents of an English company who
propose to erect saw mills, cut and
ship this timber. It says that, as is
usually the case, this timber was sold
for "a mere song." We regret to
see the willingness with which so
many of our people sell for a
trifling consideration what if proper
ly husbanded would in coming years
be a source of handsome income to
them and their children, for there is
not a day that a lumber-producing
tree stands that does not add some
thing to its value. As rich as the
South may be in other resources her
forests are among her most valuable
treasures.

Senator Hoar is more glow
ing than truthful when he says that
the demand for labor in the United
States "has more than kept abreast
of the general growth of the coun
try." If so, what means this army
of 1,000,000 men who are always out
of work? The demand for labor
ought to increase faster than the
supply, but for some reason or other
it fails to do so. But of course Mr.
Hoar is a trade obstructionists, and
can t afford to admit that labor is
not as well off as it should be. Bos

PARLIAMENTARY QUORUM.
How They Count In in the House of Com
mons.
London Cor. N. Y. Times.
Much interest, and still more curi
osity, has been aroused among poli
ticians here by the cabled reports of
Speaker Reed s summary attempts
to create a quorum outside of the
roll-call test. The thing is not un
derstood here very clearly because
no such a test as a roll-call exists.
Parliamentary usage here is a quo
rum of forty members who are within
view of the Speaker ; if a member
desires to count out the House he
rises and says to the Speaker: "I call
your attention to the fact that there
are not torty members present.
i nereupon a two-minute Den rings
throughout the whole building.
Those who wish to leaye do so
those who desire to continue the ses
sion hurry in.
Then the Speaker, taking his
cocked hat in his hand, which " he
never wears and never uses for any
other purpose, points with it to each
man as he counts them. If there
are forty the Speaker calls on the
man" having the floor to resume; if
not, he simply leaves the chair and
the House is adjourned.
There is a good deal of latitude
taken by the Speaker in thus making
the House, for the doors opening
into the lobby are flung wide open
and he counts as far out in the lobby
as his eye can reach, so that mem
bers desiring to count out are care-
ul to step aside, out of his visual
range. ' 1 ougnt to aaa mat tormer-
y it was considered utterly bad form
to can attention to tne aosence ot a
quorum, and nobody ever did it un
til Mr. Biggar entered the House
and invented this system of obstruc
tion. The Irish then adopted it and
it is now a familiar weapon.

A a
a tew years ago a very warm
friend and admirer of the ex-Speaker
called on Mrs. Randall and informed
her that he had determined to make
a provision for Mr. Randall for the
benefit of his family to the extent of
$75,000. He did this, he said, after
having learned that he was a com
paratively poor man. He had been
in public life for nearly thirty years,
and was then as poor as when he be
gan. He, therefore, had made up
his mina to set aside the above sum
as indicated. He requested Mrs.
Randall to broach the subject to her
husband in her own way, and hoped
that he would get a favorable reply.
Some days after he saw Mrs. Ran
dall. She informed him that Mr.
Randall would not listen to any such
proposition at all and requested her
to say that under no circumstances
would he accede. This has been Mr.
Randall's invariable attitude, con-
cerning-all benefactions for his bene
fit. The gentleman was very much
surprised at the reply, as he hoped
that he might be permitted to do
this deserved kindness. The gentle

POLITICAL POINTS.
It galls the Republicans any
where not to haye their own sweet way.
For a minority party, they make extra
ordinary exhibitions of nerve. Sioux
City Weekly Tribune, Dem.
Is Mr. Harrison appointing any
negroes to office at the North, where
they are beloved? No; he is appoint
ing them to office at the South, where
he hopes to stir up race prejudice. Mr.
Harrison thinks he is having a good
deal of fun. Atlanta Constitution, Dem.
The Republicans need not
worry about unseating Democrats and
seating Republicans in their stead in or
der to secure a working majority. They
and the country are beginning to be
come of the opinion that in Speaker
Reed alone, the Republicans have
an overwhelming majority. Nashville
American, Dem.
Matters in Congress have
reached an interesting stage. Manufac
turers are there demanding such changes
in the tariff as will enable them to re
cover all they expended to elect Mr.
Harrison, while Mr. Reed is evidently a
fit instrument of a revolutionary junta.

well be watched with anxiety by all
lovers of free institutions. Louisville

of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup we
can speak from knowledge; in our own
family it has proved a blessing indeed,
by giving an infant troubled with colic
pains, quiet sleep, and the parents un
broken rest at night. Most parents can
appreciate these blessings. Here is an
article which works to perfection, and
which is harmless; tor the sleep which it
affords the infant is perfectly natural
and the little cherub awakes as "bright
as a button." And during the process
of teething its value is incalculable. We
have frequently heard mothers say that
they would not be without it from the
