Negroes in Northern States.
M 1v. McClure In Philadelphia Record.
The general newspaper reader of
fee present day knows nothing of
fee deep and widespread prejudice
among the early republicans against
Universal suffrage for the negro. The
prejudice against the blaok man was
as strong in the north as in the
south. With all the earnest efforts
of the republicans to give the negro
freedom and all his legal rights, they
shunned him as a political associate
and shuddered at his fellowship in
official position. It is now more
than a generation since the negro
was declared the equal of the white
man before the law in every section
of the Union, and in every northern
state the negroes, as a rule, have
voted polidly and uniformly for the
republican party; bat not a single
aogro has ever been elected to con
gress in any northern state; none
have been elected to any state office
hi the north, with the single excep
tion of one of the western states,
where a negro was elected to a sub
ordinate office, falling many thous
ands behind bis ticket, and I can re
call but two instances in which the
negro has been elected to any north
ern legislature—-ono in Massachu
setts and one in Ohio.
In Philadelphia, where the color
ed voters held the balance of power
between the parties for twenty
years, the highest position to which
any one has been elected was that
of councilman, and only one reached
feat distinction. The first negro
placed on the police in Philadelphia
Was appointed by Democratic May
er King fully twenty years after the
republicans had proclaimed the ou-
tire equality of b;»ih races before the
Ibw and in the enjoyment of civil
rights. In one or two instances
republicans of Pennsylvania have
placed a wealthy negro on the elec
toral ticket, being the only place
whore one of thut race could be
safely nominated, and to-day there
are more colored teachers employed
by the single state of South Caroli
na than are employed in the public
schools of all the northern states of
fee Uniou.
The Philadelphia Lodger says: “A
Southern papor asserts that Georgia
raises better cantaloupes than Colo
rado. This sounds like a direct chal
lenge to Now Jersdy.” Not only
does Georgia raise better canta
loupes than Colorado, but better
grapes than New York, better
peaohes than Delaware and prettier
girls than Pennsylvania. And that
is a direct challenge to whom it may
«onoem.—Savannah Nows.

No Need for Hurrying.
"I had business in a small town
out west,” said the Boston man, as
reported in the Boston Globe, "and
I left the address at home so that
some important letters could be for
warded to me. I figured out about
when they ought to arrive, and went
down to the postoffice to inquire for
them.
" 'No letters here for you,’ said
the postmaster, who was also a jus
tice of the peace.
" ‘They ought to have been here
yesterday,’ I said.
" 'Couldn’t have got here yester
day, as old Brown, who carries the
mail, was drunk, and didn’t go over
to Iosco after it.’
" ‘And how about to-day?’
" 'Well, he’s sober enough to-day,
but his old woman has cut her foot.’
" ‘But therejwill be a mail tomor
row?’ I queried.
" 'Skassly, sir. We don’t have no
mail on Thursdays.’
" 'Then how about next day?’
'“Fridays is sort of off days with
the Iosco postmaster, and he gener
ally goes fishing. If he don’t, he
sends the boy over. I never count
on it, however.’
" 'You seem to have a Blipshod
way of running postal affairs out in
this country,’ I said, as I turned
away.
" ‘Waal, I dunno but what we
have,’ he admitted, as ho looked at
rno over the top bf his spectacles,
‘but as long as nobody but Uncle
Bill Simpson ever gets any mail, and
that’s only a circular about how to
kill cockroaches, wo kinder take
things easy and let fee United
States run along without bustin’ her
biler.’ ”
A resolution proposing a constitu
tional amendment to authorize con
gress to designate by law the officer
who shall fill the office bf president,
in case of the disability or death of
the president and vice president was
considered by the senate the other
day. It was a very important mat
ter. There were a nurabor of sena
tors in the chamber, but only one,
Senator Hoar, paid any attention to
whatt was going on. He alone voted,
and his vote was "aye.” J The other
senators were writing letters or read
ing newspapers. Yet it went into
the records that "two-thirds of the
senators present voting in the af
firmative, fee resolution was . pass
ed.” That illustrates how history is
sometimes made in the United States
senate.—Savannah News.
The Philadelphia Record says: "A
new crimiual code is soon to be
adopted by fee Russian govern
ment. The code bos been in process
of formulation for fifteen years, and
has been pronounced by expert Ger
man and French jurists to be fee
most advanced and perfectly drawn
law of its kind. The beneficence of
a law, however, does not consist in
its external form, but in the spirit
wherein it is administered. The
worst governed people in the world,
those of Turkey and China, have
some most beautiful laws on their
books.
Clerk’s Wise Suggestion.
“I have, lively been much troub
led with dyspepsia, belching and
sour stomach,” writes M. S.
Mead, leading pharmacist of At
tleboro, Mass. “I could eat hard
ly anything without suffering
several hours. My clerk suggest
ed I try Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
which I did with most happy re
sults. I have had no more troub
le and when one can go to eating
mince pie cheese, candy and nuts
after such a time, their digestion
must be pretty good. I endorse
Kodol Dyspeptia Cure heartily.

overload the stomach. Kodol

over two-thirds goes to the Ameri

The sultan of Turkey’s imperial
astrologer, a Greek named Kumba-
ris, is a worthy representative of the
prevalent blend of superstition and
abysmal ignorance which character
izes Abdul Hamid’s court. This
worthy had on one occasion the bril
liant idea of erecting a modern as
tronomical observatory in the Yikliz
kiosk. When the work was finished
and the instruments were in place,lie
found ho could neither work nor un
derstand them, and consequently a
professional astronomer had to be
summoned from Naples.
