ijlm.uiarui»ii»j—whimiiii—r 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.

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.
