JTitz New York Star, noting tho iudigna-
tion of a local paper over tho declaration
that "the Rev. Sam Jones is making

sertion if it be false, but we cannot com
prebend why any Chicago paper ahonld

is vulgar, rude and insulting, and would

be likely to briug to summary close tl 0

"a fat old hog." Such discourses might
succeed in drawing audiences, but thc poo-

wonld he those who enjoy blackguardism—
not those who care for religion."
A writer in the New York Star, in a let-

of the Blair education scheme: “True, the

The Chinese government ia now endeavor
ing to obtain reparation for outrages per
petrated npon Chinese quite recently in the
htute'of Oregon nnd the Territory of Wash
ington on the 1‘acific slope. Tbe details of
the outrages are fresh in the public mind.
Tbe mob had to be held in check by bay-
onets, but not nntil the Chinese had been
robbed and driven away under threats of
their lives.
The foreman of tho grand jury that at
tempted to bring the rioters to justice was
subsequently assassinated. •
All this was done by American citizens,
in defiance of the law of the land. The ex
cuse rendered by the people of the West is
tint it was a collision of races, that may
and will be repeated when the two are
brought into competition.
We present this Ulustration before in
troducing another. Just now the coun
try is excited over a conflict of races, which
has recently taken place in tho State of
Mississippi, and wo shall presently read
much in Northern prints of "Southara bar
barism.”
The facts concerning the collision at Car
rollton, are thus set forth: "Carrollton,
where the killing occurred, is a village of
uO inhabitants, the seat of justice of Car-
roll county. The county is about evenly
divided between the blacks and whites, nnd
considerable bitterness has existed between
the two races for some time, growing out
of the lynehing of a negro prisoner for the
murder of a yonng white man. The ne
groes were well organized and
polled a large vote for Blaine
the last election. Among the negro leaders
were the two brothers, El. and Charles
Brown. Ed. who was the more aggressive oi
the two, had a quarrel with J. M. Liddell,
a young lawyer of Leflore county, some
months previously. At that time Liddell
drew his pistol, but was prevented from
shooting Brown. The latter always went
armed afterwards, and threatened to nse
his pistol if Liddell eigsr made the slightest
movement at him. Three weeks ago Liddell
attended the court in Carrollton on some
business. While walking along tho street one
day he found himself face to face with a mob
of some twenty-five negroes, at tbe head of
which were the two Browns; as he passed
they cursed him. Liddell, who comes from
tho famous fighting Liddells, although en
tirely alone, stepped up to Brown; a few
words ensued, when revolvers were drawn
and firing began. Five of the negroes fired
on him, and Brown emptied his revolver.
All the principals in the affair were wound
ed, Ed. Brown seriously shot and Charles
Brown nnd Liddell slightly wounded. Tho
latter was laid up in bed from his wonnd
for several weeks, and only recently left
his bed. All tho parties were arrested for
the shooting affray and charges made
against them. It was npon the trial of this
case that the riot broke out. Tho Browns
were copper-colored negroes, abont thirty
years of age.”
Given tbe same state of affairs in any
Southern community, and trouble might ho
safely anticipated. We do not pretend to
justify the killiug of the negroes ia the
presence of a court organized to try both
whites and blacks for an infraction of the
publlo peace. Tbe law should have settled
the matter between them; bat if men of tho
West break oat in violence against Cliineso,
who compete with them in labor, is
strange that Southern men, who have suf
fered for years under the domination of
coalition of bad whites and negroes arc
easily excited, when negroes threaten to ob
tain political power, and in view of their
numerical strength, threaten violence and
attempt to execute the threat?
It would be difficult to push the negroes
of slavery days and their old masters into
such a difficulty aa occurred at Carrollton.
Bat the generation of white men and uegroes
who hate grown up since the war are sepa
rated as widely as the Westerner and tho
Chinese. That the whole power of this
government, under Bepnblican rule, has
been devoted to the elevation of the negro,
and tho humiliation of tho Southern white
man, is largely responsible for this condition
of affairs.
The Memphis Avalanche puts the point
forcibly and fairly in these words:
"No intelligent American can study the
unwholesome massing of ignorance in the
many parts of tbe cotton belt and the ef
fects on the white peoplo and on the devel
opment ot the oountry without almost de
spairing of the growth of a lofty and en
lightened social order in tbe districts where
this massing occurs. None imt a shallow,
prejudiced ana con know what the white
people of these, regions have to contend
with without wondering at the marvelous
forbearance and patient endeavor under
mountain difficulties.
Wherever tho whites and negroes ore
closely balanced in population, a bod man
cf either color, or a sudden difficulty, may
bring abont violence and bloodshed. This
is a fact, not a pleasant -ue to contemplate,
hut a fact nevertheless, and one that must
give serious concern to strd into who un
dertake to solve the negro problem.
The Next House,
The Republicans expect to control the
next House of Representatives. They
make boasting claims of gains at the South,
but it is scarcely likely that they will be
able to do more in this section than they
have already done. They are compact,
nnited by defeat, and the hope of political
power and revenge, and fortune, so fur
seems to favor them. One pension hill has
already reached the President, and another
is off tbe stocks of a committee. The
Northern soldier does not care, that a
Democratic House votes him pensions, he
recognizes the fact that the Republicans
g ivo this electioneering element its boon and
power,
"Tho present Democratic majority in the
House is forty-three, which apparently
leaves a not inconsiderable margin for pos
sible losses. But in just two States, if the
Republicans should be able to recover the
districts which naturally belong to them,
fully one-half of this majority would be
wiped out These two States are Michigan,
which has now seven Democrats in the
House, aud Iowa, which has four. These
eleven members were secured by the Demo
crats through no other cause than resent
ment of Republican voters, mostly foreign-
born, at the prohibitory liquor legislation
enacted by the Republican party. It is as
serted by those in a position to know that
enough other districts in the Northwest
have of late been carried by the Democrats
on what is called the “personal liberty" idea
make np the eutire Democratic majority
in the present House. It was plainly seen
in tho lost State election in Ohio that tho
German voters, who had given theJState to
the Democrats more than once because of
the, to them, objectionable liquor legisla
tion of the Republicans, went back to their
old party and took the State away from
the Democrats. The eanse ot this is al
ieged to be the deepening conviction in
the minds of the foreign-born voters of
'the West that the Democrats are no more
to bo relied npon in tho matter of "per
sonal liberty” than the Republicans. It
is pointed ont that in the South, impreg
nable stronghold ot the Demoracy, local
option or prohibitory liquor legislation is
making great strides, and Senators from
that section aro going outside their own
borders to make proselytes in this favor.
This condition of nffairs, it is claimed, is
fast tending to make honors easy as be
tween the two political parties, and thoro is
no incentive for those who are naturally
Republicans to hold aloof from their own
party on this account. This feeling, it is
said, is liable not only to have much effect
in the Wost, but in the East, and particu
larly New York. A well-posted German
Den ocrot, who is one from principle,said the
Mugwumps had been credited with giving
New York to Cievelaud in 18tH. The tact
waa that two Republican brewers in the
city of Brooklyn gave him seven hundred
vtiti-s from amoug their employes, which, if
given to Blaine, would have reversed the
result In presenting these facts no argu
ment or moral is sought to be deduced. Tbe
pnrpoao is merely to show the entire proba
bility oi a contingency which may change
the political complexion o( tbe House of
Representatives, and really upon what a
slender thread Democratic control rests.
Another contingency which may be of mo
nientoua import iu determining the elec
tiona for the next Houso is the attitude of
those powerful organizations, the KnighU
of Labor. From present indications these
organizations will make their own fight in
their respective districts, and no man, be ho
Democrat or Republican, can confidently
count npon their support if suspected of
not being in sympathy with them. So
thoroughly ia this appreciated by members
of the House of Itepresentatives that every
one of them, when considering any subject
connected with the lubor question ap
proaches it a* carefully and as gingerly as

Of course Senators aro not going 1

it is going to change a single vote.” “What
effect is it going to hive on the mind* of
the people?" "None. I don't snppose it
is going to change the views of anybody
among the people.” "Then what is the
good of it all *0 far as practical results ate
concerned?” "None, so for as resnlto go.
It is merely the vindication of the views
held by the President. It may have the
effect to rally tbe President's friends abont
him a little more closely, but that is abont
all. I don't look for any conversion from
party faith on either side." "And what is

Capital Punishment.
Tbe Chicago Currant is opposed to espi
tal punishment, hut the opposition seents
captions sinco no sabstituts is offered.
Cupitol punishment" it argues, “is vicious.
A human law hi only a human thought,
willing. Ethically, if the Governor may kill
man, then so may a tramp. The only
way for the law to impress the vicious with
a sense of its majesty is to teach vicious
men to respect life by a respect for life on
the part of tbe law. Tho Current believes
mnrder will not cease nntil public horror of
murder shall increase. Hangings familiarize
the public with murder. Lately tbe Chicago
sheriff rented his worn-oat scaffold to the
managers of a museum. That act was as
disgraceful to the law aa it was to the city
or the sheriff. If hang, why not torture?
Why not put into play the machines that
may he seen at Loudon-tiwer and in the
Rhine-castles?"
Hangings do not familiarize tho public as
much with murder os do lawless men, since
not one crime of this kind out ot the twenty
is expiated npon the gallows. If there is
anything to increase the public horror of
murder faster than legal executions increase
it, why then let ns have it Wisconsin (or
was it Michigan?) tried to teach respect for
life l>y respecting life and had to abandon
it. Other countries have trirsl the same
plan disutronsly. What then would
the Current have? Imprisonment'
There are plenty of people ready to
testify that our prison system* are failures,
inflicting but light punishment npon crim-
