THE MOUNTAINEER. V. C. ERVIN, Editor. SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1883. The town of Beaureguard, Miss., was totally destroyed by last Sunday's storm, with a'loss of thirty lires. President ARTiiURand Us party reached Washington last Sunday on their return from their Florida tour, and now "Chet" is very mad because the newspapers let the girls know that he had the colic at Savannah. - England is still troubled with dyna miters and Russia with the nihilists. The coronation f the Czar has been postponed until she 27th-of May, when the ceremony will be performed re gardless of the weather. The great storm' that struck this State last Sunday night swept entirely across the continent', commencing on the Pacific slope last Friday morning. The damage to property throughout the United Stales is simply incalcula ble. The greatest damage was doue along the Mississippi Valley The northern laboiers in nearly every branch of industry have been striking for higher wages lately, and have geuerally been successful. The strikes have generally been quietly conducted, sad the demands not being unreasonable, tha employers have granted the demands of their employ ees, The new two cent postage stamp, which will supersede the three cent letter stamp now in use after the first on next October, will bear thel vig nette of Washington, that design having been approved by Postmaster General Gresham, and the two cent stamp now in use bearing the head of Jackson will be discontinued. Offi cers of the post office department think that the revenue-derived from tho sale of stamps will be greatly in creased by the introduction of the new stamp, as they claim that more letters will be written, that circulars fcc now sent in open envelopes with one cent stamps, wdl be hereafter sent in sealed euvelopes for two cents, and that the new two cent sealed envelope will to a great extent, take the place of the postal card. THE RACE PROBLEM. What will be the future of the ne gro race in America is a ploblem that puzzles the social economist of this age. The following views, expressed by Fred Douglas? at the emancipation meeting in Washington on April 16, are interesting as showing the views of the nej-ro as to the destines of Ips own race. He ays: "What is to be the future of the colored people of this country? Three different solutious to this difficult pro blem have been given aud,adopted by different clSfes of the American people First, colonization in Africa; second, extinction through poverty, disease and death; third, assimilation and unification with the great body of the American people. 1 do not look for colonizaiiori either in or outside of the United States. Africa is too far "oti, even if we desired to go there, which we do not. Removal to any of the Territories is out of the question. We have no bnsines to put ourselves before the bayonets of the white race. We have seen the fate of the Indian. As to extinction, the prospect in that direction has been greatly clouded by the census just taken, in which it is fceen that our increase is ten per cent greater than that of the white people of the South. "There is but one des tiny, it seems tD in, left for us, and that is to make ourselves and be made by others a part of the American peo ple in eveiy sense of the word. As similatioo, not isolation, is our true policy aud oar natural destiny. Uni n'cation for ns is life; separation is death. We cannot afford to set up for urselveg a separate political party or adopt for ourselves a political creed apart from the rest of our fellow citi zens." The French vintage of 1882 was a failure, and there will be no cham pagne from the crop of that year, but as there are 60,000,000 of bottles on hand there is no cause for alarm. "It is said that Ihe fruit crop of Cali fornia will be finer this year than ever before, and that the Pacific Railroad will put on fast trains and give low rates to enable the growers to ship largely to the Atlantic States. I Some of our State contemporaries are already getting a little excited as to the gubernatorial campaign in 1884, and are trotting out their cpndi- dates with every prospect of breaking them down before the next nominating convention mcet3. It is very evident hat the next Democratic candidate for Governor must be chosen with the greatest caution. He must not only be a good man and true, but he must be able to conduct a rousing, stiiring, enthusiastic canvass, that will make our lethergic Democrats flock to the polls as they did in '76. Of the ap proaching campaign the IFeics and Observer savs" it is to be no child's play. The Democrats should put out their best men. Dr. Mott will make the most strenuous efforts to carry the State, and since Dockery was defeated by the defection of the Republicans in Forsyth and Gaston counties we may safely assume that arrangements will be made to prevent similar defec tions in the next canVass. The Re-1 publican party will be a urii, the ibarals under the banner of some inde pendent Democrat, purchased for the occasion, will be a greater reinforce raent to them than 'ast year, and the Democrats will have to rely on the popularity of their candidate his powers of oratory and thorough organ ization to brinsx our full forces." NEWS NOTES. THE WEEK S WORK THE WORLD OVER. The steamer Alaska has made the trip across the Atlantic in six days and twenty-one hours.
