WILMINGTON, N. C.
Wednesday Morning, Dec. 31,1890
THE MISSISSIPPI PLAN.
One of the points made by the ad
vocates of the Force bill is that it
will secure the right to the negroes
of the South to vote, a right which,
thev allege, is now denied them.
Either the Force bill should pass,
they say, and the Rspublican party
get the full benefit of the colored
vote, or the South- in Congress
should be reduced in proportion to
its colored population. They are
more interested in this than in the
colored vote, and if thev could ac
complish this the condition of the
colored brother would interest them
no more forever.
But that's one of the things which
they can't see their way clear
to do, for it can't be done without
a constitutional amendment, and
they never could secure the votes
of a sufficient number of States to
carry it. Although there might be
some white people in the South
willing to relinquish a portion of
thdr representation to get rid of the
colored element in politics they are
very largely in the minority, and it is
tertain that the colored voters would
vote solidly against such a proposi
tion, if they cared enough about it to
vote at all.
Senator Butier, of South Carolina,
is quoted as having recently ex
pressed the opinion that the white
people of the South would consent
to reduced-representation as a means
of settling the race problem, but that
is only an opinion, for there has been
no test of that question in the South,
and consequently Senator. Butler has
nothtsg to hase that opinion on save
his presumed familiarity with the
sentiments of the Southern people.
There is no doubt that 'if there
were any apprehension of negro
domination they would not only con
sent to reduced representation.but to
surrender of representation altogether
to preventthat, as self preservation
is the first law of nature, but unless
force can be brought from some"
where else to "put'-the thlack mam
above the white. , (and there isn't
force enough in this country to do
that) the white man will continue to
rule in spite of the decrees of the
Republican managers on either or
both sides of the dividing Hne. And
they will do that, too, without doing
harm to the black man.
The colored people of the South
recognize this, and with here and
there a complaint by some aspiring
colored politician who has an eye on
the loaves and fishes, they accept it.
The State of Mississippi-had more
to fear .from black domination than
any other Southern State, and yet
she practically settled the race ques
s tion as far as she was concerned. by
a qualified suffrage amendment
which was adopted without a jar,
one of its strongest advocates being
a colored delegate to the Constitu
' Mo
tional Convention. The man who
spoke for the colored people of
Mississippi recognized the fact that
a qualified franchise which was ap
plied to both races was not dis
franchisement, but simply a stimulus
to preparation to discharge the most
important act of citizenship intel
ligently, a requirement as necessary
for the welfare of the black as
for the white man, for they have
suffered as much by their ill-judged
voting as any other class of people.
They have been blindly casting their
votes for the Republican party with
whatever policies it saw fit to adopt
and whatever character of men it
saw fit to nominate. While doing so
they not only voted against their
own section and against the people
of the South, who are their best and
truest friends, but voted to make
themselves tribute payers to the men
favored by the class legislation of
the party which commanded their
suffrage in every political contest.
The Republican leaders would
like to -escape the results of their
own work if they couldr The Re
publican party to retain control
made the 'negroes voters, and it
slipped up fearfully when it did
it. It now has the skeleton strap-
d to its back and wuld like to
get rid of it. .But they can't dis
franchise the race which they en
franchised, nor reduce Southern
representation, which they would
gladly do if they could, and turn the
colored brother loose.
MINOR, MENTION.
K Senators Hiscock, of New York,
7and Hoar, of Massachusetts, held
forth on the Force bill Monday. The
former couldn't understand for the
life of him, how any Senator could
oppose such a beneficient measure,
and the latter repelled with indigna
tion the alligation that it was a par
tisan measure. And yet Mr. Hoar
has hyttrself every day since this bill
came to the Senate and he under
took to engineer it through, furnish
ed ample proof that he regards it as
a partisan measure. In the interest
of no other scheme would he con
sent to the adoption of the ag rule
as now proposed. A new departure
after a hundred years, and some
thing that was never resort
ed to before in the most ex
cited discussion ofthe most import
ant questions. He favors this now
to rush through a bill which was
fabricated by Republican politicians,
and has not been asked for by a sin
gle State nor by a respectable body
of people from any State. If Mr.
Hoar stood in his place in the Sen
ate and solemnly declared that the
Potomac river had changed its course
and was running up hill it would be
taken as tvidence of loss of his
senses, and yet he deliberately makes
as ahsurd a statement without hav
ing his sanity suspected. If it was
not a partisan measure ibis narrow
minded partisan never would have
taken one-tenth the interest in it he
has taken, it never would have seen
the light in either House.
Secretary Windom says he favors
Senatpr Stanford's scheme to lend
money to farmers at 2 per cent, pro
vided he could add just three amend
ments to it. The first amendment is
that loans should be extended to all
classes of property, as he don't be
lieve in discriminating against one
kind of property in favor of another.
Tht second is to lend money to men
who have brains but no property, as
he don't believe in discriminating
against brains in favor of property.
The third is to lend to men who have
neither brains nor property, as he
don't believe in- discriminating
against those unfortunates who need
government help more than any
other class of people. He thinks
with these amendments Senator
Stanford's scheme would be a daisy
one and would be immensely popular.
The resolution introduced in the
Senate some time ago asking the
Treasury Department to furnish' a
statement of the amounts paid to
John I. Davenport, Chief Supervisor
of Elections for the Southern dis
trict of New York, has brought the
statement, from which it appears
that he has drawn since 1872 the
neat little sum of $210,491.13, while
he put in additional claims for $19.
880.46 which were disallowed. Be
sides this there was paid to super
visors acting under Davenport $317,
024, making a total of $516,534.67
which this man and his subordinates
pocketed for the services which they
rendered to the Republican party.
With John I. Davenports, scattered
throughout the country, and the
Force bill in operation what a treas
ury tapper it would be. No wonder
John is in favor of it and of making
it perpetual, for his-office has paid
him the neat income of $14,000 a
year, whether he rendered any ser
vice or not, whieh is pretty good
pay for ati office which is a sine cure
except about election times, when
he is pretty busy in suppressing all
the Democratic votes he can.
The McKinley tariff has stirred up
the people of Mexico so that they
are not only talking of establishing
smelting works of their own but also
slaughtering establishments, and fur
ther than this they demand retalia
tory legislation by the Mexican gov
ernment. The following dispatch
from the city of Mexico shows the
drift of public sentiment:
This policy the new tariff act com
pels Mexico to seek nw avenues' of
trade with Europe. The popular feeling
is .that the government should place
heavy duties on American lard, cattle,
petroleum, etc., in order to bring about
negotiations with the United States for
a mutual reduction of tariff. The gov
ernment may be compelled to yield to
this strong popular sentimenr.
This is one of the results that
English manufacturers anticipated,
and they freely predicted that while
the McKinley act would cut off
much of their trade with this coun
try they would be more than recom
pensed by the increased trade with
other countries, which in conse
quence of the McKinley tariff would
be '"compelled to seek new avenues
of trade," as is stated in this dis
patch." STATE TOPICS.
We are glad to see that the build
ing of neat, comfortable houses as
homes for people of small means
who cannot afford to pay high rent,
is calling out the views of progres
sive men in some of our. towas. Rev.
JohnT. Crowell, President of Trini
ty College, has written an excellent
communication upon this subject,
which appears m the Durham Globe
of 27th inst., in which he points out
the importance of having an ample
supply of that kind of dwellings.
There are a dozen or more towns in
this State which would increase rap
idly in population if they could fur
nish those who seek them pleasant
homes, at reasonable rental. Every
body likes a comfortable dwelling,
but wage earners cannot always pay
twenty dollars a month or more for
a house. Mr. Crowell calls attention
to the fact that nice one-story houses,
with six rooms, have been built in
Charlotte for $300. By combination
a very nice style of house may be
built very cheaply.
CURRENT COMMENT
It is reported that the State
debt of Indiana is increasing alarm
ingly. So many Hoosiers have re
moved to Washington that there are
not enough left to pay the necessary
taxes. Chicago Mail, Dem.
The new counterfeit two-dollar
bill is very bad and only crimi
nals are trying to pass it. The Force
bill is worse, and yet perfectly re
spectable gentleman are trying to
pass it. N, Y. World, Dem.
A few forlorn Senators sit
foolishly around in the Senate cham
ber at Washington during this holi
day season, vainly striving to main
tain an appearance of Senatorial dig
nity while engaged in the veriest
schoolboy nonsense. Besides serving
as a refuge for pecunious senility,
the senate appears to be fast becom
ing an asylum for prize jackasses.
Phil. Record, Dem.
There is an evident dispro
portion between the gag-law machin
ery which Senator Aldrich is at
tempting to set up and the work it
is designed to accomplish. The Re
publicans of the Senate desire the
adoption of the rule arbitrarily clos
ing debate in order that thev may
pass the Force bill, and apparently
for no other purpose. But the Force
bill has, very little vitality left in its
miserable body. N. Y. Times, Itid.
HOW TO BREAK UP A COLD.
Simple Old-Fashioned Treatment in Its
Early Staga.
The season is at hand when "colds"
are common, so the Boston Herala
comes to the front with some practi
tical pointers about them:
As soon as chilly sensations are
felt, or the cold affects the head, and
there is soretbroat, the victim should
go home at once. With his feet in
hot mustard water, ht hould take
an old-fashioned rumsweat.
This is very easily administered.
Into an old teacup pour three or four
tablespoonfuls of alcohol. Set in a
pan of water. Now place it under
a chair having a wooden seat. Let
the patient sit down upon this;
fasten a couple of blankets around
around his neck, allowing them'to
fall to the floor, then light the alco
hol. This treatment is by no means
hard to bear.
As soon as the skin becomes moist
the headache is greatly relieved and
breathing through the nose is easier;
"tn fact, all the unpleasant symptoms
are more or less-relieved.
The patient should sweat as long
as he will; then, after wiping hastily
and putting on - a well-warmed un
dervest, he should get into bed and
be well covered with blankets.
He should continue to sweat freely
during the early part of the, night.
Sometimes 'Tie will not do this, -even
after the, application of the treat
ment advised. If he does not,; he
should be given ten grains of quinine.
If for a day or two afterwards he
eats Hnd drinks but little,! and keeps
within doors, the chances are that he
will have floored his cold.
PENNINGTON'S AIR SHIP.
It Can Be Steeled in Any Direction And
Will Develop a Speed of 200 Milea an
Hour.
A correspondent in Mt. Carmel,
111., writes to the Philadelphia Press:
In an interview, after explaining
that he is not posing as a great dis
coverer, but is simply applying well
known scientific principles, Mr. Pen
nington said :
"My theory is simply that of crea
ting a vacuum by the propulsion of
the(propeller facing the wind. The
ship can be turned about in any
direction by the rudder after the
velocity of the air is thus overcome.
Our direction will always be indicated
by a compass, which will oe con
trolled by connection with the stor
age. "How will you rise?".
"In the buoyancy chamber, con
sisting of 100 separate compartments,
will be stored the hydrogen gas for
for rising. This buoyancy will
counteract the weight of the ship,
and I figure that when we begin ris
ing the dead weight will be nil. The
rest will be easy if my theories are
not at all at fault. After the desired
altitude is reached the vessel will be
sent forward by moving a key on
thet electric switch-board which will
communicate a spark to the com
pressed gas storage box and dis
charge its contents.
"Your success in a financial way
appears to be remarkable for enter
prises of this character. When did
you first propose it to a capitalist,
and who is he ?"
"I got my financial aid from W. C.
Duvey, president of the Grand
Rapids Furniture Company. He is
a very wealthy man, and had inter
ested himself in some of my previ
ous inventions, but he laughed at me
on this occasion. It took me two
or three days to even get him to
listen to me seriously. He then
called in Mr. Sligh, with whom he is
associated in the glass importing
business, and both of them were con
vinced of its utility. Mr. Sligh, on
his next trip to Europe, interested
two large English J capitalists, Obe
diah Hawkes and Johh C. Troyford,
in it, and they came over with him.
I met all of them in Chicago, and
several others."
"What will be the capacity of your
storage boxes ?"
"We calculate that they will hold
enough to run ten hours."
"And what will be your rate of
speed ?"
"Two hundred miles an hour is a
fair estimate."
He explained further that, it was
proposed to expend about $2,000,
000 in erecting buildings and to em
ploy 3,000 to 5,000 men. He thought
the first experimental vessel would
set sail about the middle of January
and the rout will be from here to St.
Louis, from St. Louis to Chicago,
from Chicago to New York, and from
New York back to Mount Carmel.
THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
Augusta Chronicle.
Trie new apportionment bill will
not change the next electoral college,
nor the next house of Representa
tives. The increase in Congress will
not take effect until after March 3,
1893. The next Presidential elec
tion, then will be held upon the
present basis. In 1888 the electoral
college consisted of 401, of which
201 were necessary to a choice. In
1892 the electoral college will be 420,
of which 211 will be a majority. The
six new States have added the ad
ditional votes. In 1896. when the
apportionment under the Dunnell
bill goes into effect, the electoral
college will have 444 votes. Six
certain Democratic States gain seven
votes. Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia,
Missouri and New Jersey one each,
and Texas .two. Of Republican gains,
California, Colorado, Kansas, Mass
achusetts, Michigan, Oregon, Wash
ington and Wisconsin each gain one
electoral vote, while Illinois, Minne
sota and Pennsylvania gain two and
Nebraska three a Republican gain
of seventeen.

Good old Uncle Henry and 4-year-old
Tom, his nephew, were in con

The boy's big eyes looked fixedly

PERSONAL.
- Mrs. Keeley, the veteran Eng
lish actress, has just entered upon her
eighty-sixth year, and is still in vigor
ous health.
Samuel Bowles, of the Spring
field Republican, refused to have f olonel
prefixed o his name, even by a man he
so much respects as Gov, Russell.
Brick Pomeroy, as he appears
nowadays, is a portly, well-dressed gen
tleman, whose attire is topped off with
a slouch hat. He is described as the
same jolly, good natured, abstemious,
cynical gentleman that he was of old.
"Boss" Shepherd, who went out
from the National Capital years ago
with no money and a damaged reputa
tion, is reported to have struck it rich
in Chihuahua, where he now lives and
has large mining interests.
It being definitely ascertained,
savs Joe Howard, in the New York'
Press, that the New York World netted
$80.000 in the year 1890, the New York
Herald $600,000, and the Boston Globe
$200 000, what's the matter with jour
nalism. Cardinal Gibbons is very simple
and methodical in his habits. He rises
at 5.30, says mass at 7, breakfasts at 8.
takes a walk at 10, dines at 2, and spends
the afternoon . receiving visitors. Sup
per is served to him at 7 and by 10 he is
in bed.
Duke d'Auxy, a Belgian noble
man, spent a portion of last summer at
a Staten Island hotel and is now being
sued before a common justice of the
peace for a remnant of "a board bill. The
Duke was charged extra for meals
served in the seclusion of his apaitments.
He protested and refused to pay. His
trunks were seized. He gave a check
for the disputed amount, secured his
baggage, and then stopped the payment
of the check. Hence the proceedings.
POLITICAL POINTS.
A more impudent defiance of
the popular will could not be conceived,
and it cannot fail to impress the public
mind with a deeper sense of the detects
of a system which permits a dishonored,
disgraced and repudiated Congress to
continue an infamous career after it has
been judged and condemned. Nashville
American. Dem.
Reciprocity, as a proposition
now before the people of this country,
is imbedded in the McKinley bill. To
the support of that monstrosity and of
the men responsible for it Mr. Blaine
gave his aid in the . late campaign be
tween monopoly and freedom, In that
measure is proposed a higher protective
tax on the clothing of the plain people
for the benefit of the mill owners, and
yet in the reciprocity clause a lower tax
is provided for the wools entering into
their manufacture. Chicago Times, Ind.
Were the Republican party
united on the Eleetion bill this fact
would put another face on the matter.
But ever day brings stronger evidence
that it is not. Not only are some of
the Republican Senators opposed to it,
but leading Republican papers feel it
their duty to throw out cautionary
signals. The sentiment Of Pennsyl
vania, so lar as it can be ascertained, is
in favor of taking the Election bill out
of the way if it is to stand in the path
of more necessary legislation. Phila
