There is one fact relative to the
attitude • of the republicans
of the north to the south
that has never been suffi
ciently emphasized; and it is a pe
culiar fact, too. Eeed and his
tools have, with the negative as
sistance of eight democratic ab
sentees, some ol whom were pair
ed with what is known as “dead’
men, forced the election bill
through the house, and now they
are engaged in an effort to force
it through the senate.
"What their success will be we
do not know, nor do we' purpose
to consider the probabilities here.
We are more interested just now
in the peculiar fact to which we
have alluded. It has been dwelt on
before, but not, as we have said,
with sufficient emphasis. The ar
guments have been used by the
republicans in behalf of the force
and fraud bill will serve to il
lustrate. The charge is that the
negro voters in the south, have in
one way or another, been deprived
of their rights as citizens. This
charge has been dwelt on with va
rious degrees of mendacious feroc
ity ever since the republican gov
ernments in the south were over
thrown.
The republican idea is that ev
ery negro is a republican and that
he is consumed with a desire to
vote the republican ticket, and
they have formulated the force
bill with this idea as their excuse,
hoping that the ignorance of the
north will be induced to. accept it
as an experimental remedy for a
condition of things that has been
manufactured by their editors and
politicians.
The peculiar fact to which we
desire to call attention is this:
That the republicans have treated
the negroes infinitely worse than
they have been treated by the south
ern people. There has been apathy
among other classes of republican
voters of other sections, but this
has been overcome by lively cam
paign work on the stump and in the
newspapers. The negroes,however,
have been practically abandoned by
those who profess to be their
friends. Takethe state of Geor
gia as an instance, When have
the republicans made a campaign
in this state since the democrats
secured control of the state? There
have been republican conventions
called to select delegates to put up
at auction in Chicago for the ben
efit of presidential candidates, and
there has been an occasional splut
ter when a white man wanted of
fice; but it is a fact that there has
been no republican organization in
Georgia for many.years.
What is true of Georgia is true
of all thejsouthern states. The re
publican organizations have been
allowed to fall to peices, there
have been few republican nomina
tions for local offices, and the nat
ural result has been that the ne
groes who 1 have been enthusiastic
enough to go to the polls and vote
the republican ticket have had no
candidate to vote for. To say that
the great majority are apathetic
would hardly describe the situation
They have so often been disap
pointed by republican promises,
their alleged political interests
have been so pointedly neglected,
and they have been so continually
betrayed in the house ofjtheir so-
called friends„they take no inter
est in' politics whatever.
This indifference to politics, to;
elections and to parties has been
argumented by the knowledge that
negroes have gained of. democrat
ic rule. They'were told that a
democratic governor or a demo
cratic president meant for them a
return to slavery. They have dis
covered that all the prosperity
they have attained came to them
from under the democratic rule,
and with that they are content.
They no longer entertain the fear
that they are to be re-enslaved.
This fact settled, their interest.in
current politics has lapsed.
Knowing all these things--know
ing that the republican organiza
tion in the south had fallen or was
falling to pieces—why is it and
how is it that the republican lead
ers have refused to make a cam-

A heart that was light as a feather,
Buoyant and free, and bright as the day,
No matter what kink was the weath-
to the Philadelphia Eecord, in
which he says:
“Being a native of Danville, Ya.,
and the son of a former slave, I
have been living north but a brief
period, but from what I,have seen
of the two sections I claim the
citizenship in any part of this
Union which may seem to offer the sou tkern n0 g ro has more advan-
greatest inducements to the pur-
! tages than his northern brother of
north? If the negro vote is worth
counting, is it not worth a cam
paign: ..
The secret of all this is that .the
republicans, egged bn by ah • infa
mous aud deadly spirit of section
alism, have determined to revive
confusion and strife at the south,
retain themselves in power by
suit of happiness, wealth, and gen
eral prosperity for our future; and
feeling that we have found be
neath these glorious southern
skies a -field where we may
labor shoulder to shoulder
with our brethren, to the manor
born in developing a section of our
common country, and bring into
world-wide competition the untold
wealth yet hidden in the rock-
ribbed monntain, the virgin forests
and fertile valleys of this grand
section—our adopted home—and
hoping that through our influence
much may be done to spread
through: what has heretofore been
called the two sections of this
great republic, such "perfect
knowledge of each other as to unite
forever a common people and blot
out forever any prejudice that may
exist in the hearts of the people of
any state of this nation against any
sister state. To' this end we, the
people of the north, now residents
of Georgia, the banner state of-the
south, hope that while state pride
and sectional attachment are nat
ural passions of the human heart,
and are so near akin to patriotism
as to be distinguished from it only
in the court of a higher court of
reason, to bring the citizens of ev
ery state to a nobler love of coun
try that rises above all places and
sections; that knows ;no county, no
state, no south, no north, no east,
no west, but only native land; that
claims no mountain slope; that
clings to no river bank; that wor
ships no range of hills, but lifts
the aspiring eye to a continent re-
deemed from barbarism by com
mon sacrifice, and made sound by
the shedding of hnman blood.
Such a patriotism is the cable and
sheet anchor of onr hope. There

Eesolved, That we, natives of
the northern states of this Union,
now residents of the state of Geor

heartfelt thanks to the southern
people for the real kindness and
courtesy received at their hands,
and that we are sincerely glad to
be identified with them in the up
building of the great common
wealth of this nation.
Eesolved, That we pledge our
selves to do all in onr power to
diffuse the truth regarding tlie so

the same race. Though I have
used my utmost endeavor to avail
myself of the ‘equal rights’ so
boastingly mentioned by the
‘friends of the negro’ in the north,
I am debarred from the workshops,
from the counting-room, from offi
cial positions, or from any occupa
tion 1 may seek, except that which
requires me to wear the white
apron badge of cook, or waiter, or
as hod-carrier. I must seek only
the position least remunerative if
not the most menial. When I pass
along Lombard street, Philadel
phia, I find that prejudice against
them has crowded the negroes to
gether like hogs' in a pen, and I
venture to assert that there is Rot
a spot south of Mason and Dixon’s
line where the negro is in so much
misery, or faces such squalid pov
erty as the poor denizens of Lom
bard street and the other misera
ble quarters in which he has been
campelled, on account of his color,
to reside, in the good “City of
Brotherly Love.” It would be
wise to let a little of tbe sympathy
that arises frojn love of the broth
er in black begin here at home.”
In regard to the federal election
bill the same negro says:
The ‘force bill’ will not benefit
the negro, but on the one hand it
will retard his progress. It is
nearly thirty years since the war
began. The majority of the old
slaves have gone to their quiet
home. The negro who can
even remember slavery must be
about thirty-five years old. To
have worked in a field under a
master he must be close to ’ fifty
years old. Time and education
are healing prejudices, and the two
races are drawing nearer together,
bat this ‘firebrand’ about to be
cast into their midst by the fanat
ics at Washington will open wounds
and result in the downfall of the
negro ip the end; for should there
be a general revolution the whites
of the north and south would both
unite against him. The strong
prejudice right here in the north
alone is sufficient proof of my
claim. Every blow struck at the
whites of the south means two
blows on the shoulders of the in
nocent and industrious negroes,
who ask nothing more than the
privileges accorded every Ameri
can, whether he be native or adopt
ed; and if lie must fill tbe menial
positions, he should at least be as
sisted to heal prejudice instead of
increasing it.”

Nothing makes one feel so mean
and incapacitated for work as a
touch of malaria. How the bones
ache. What chilly and lifeless
sensations. What a poor appetite
and what poor digestion. Here,
James, ran and get me some qui
nine; or stop, quinine doesn’t just
agree with me, either. It makes
my head feel like it would burst.
it creates a buzzing sound in
my ears. It impairs my digestion.
It makes me feel dizzy. It gives
me nausea; and a physician once
told me that quinine sometimes
causes paralysis. No, yon needn’t
get it. I .fwon’t take quinine.
What is that? Yon say your
mother takes Smith’s Tonic Syrup
when she has malaria, and that it
always cares her, and that it also
cured your brother of chills and
fever? Well, get me a bottle of
Smith’s Tonic Syrup, and be
quick. Come to think about if, I
have rea'd that this medicine has
all the good effects of quinine and
none of its evil nature. - Strange
used in the manufacture of woolen
goods, with which it mixes readily
on account of its rough, strong
and long fibre. Some idea of the
industry may be gathered from
the following statement from the
report of the consular agent:
Cotton is ’collected, when the
pods open, by women and children,
who are paid in proportion to the
quantity collected, the prevailing
rates being 40 cents for ever quin
tal (100 pounds). Cotton is taken
from the fields to the ginning
houses, where it is cleaned and
made into bales of about 175
pounds each. We have five such
establishments in this province.
The quantity exported annually
averages from 65,000 to 70,000
bales, the gross value of which, at
current prices here, is about $2,-
000,000 in current money (Bolivian
silver dollars equal to 68 cents
each).
Despite the advantages of cheap
labor, low freights and the posses
sion of a plant that bears bolls for
a number of years, the Peruvian
planters cannot compete with the
cotton planters of this country,
quality being preferred to the
cheap article. King Cotton’s realm
is in this country, and always will
be.
To those who suffer much from
tender feet in consequence of ex
cessive walking or standing for
long periods, the following treat
ment will be acceptable: Bathe
the feet before retiring at night in
a strong solution of salt water, to
which should be added a liberal
quantity of saleratus. Dry the
feet thoroughly and use a smooth
piece of pumice to remove any par
ticles of roughness that may ap
pear. Eepeat the operation the

erything was ready; the horsey
were pawing in the stable waiting
for the day to come when they
would carry their new mistress
out. Ths coachman and the foot
man had their big white rosettes
at hand to wear on the wedding
day; the house was full of fra
grance, for beautiful flowers were
massed to nlease the coming mis
tress, and everything seemed to be
ii^harmony with all this thought
ful, loving care; for the sun shone
bright, and it was somebody’;
wedding day.
Yes, but it wasn’t an earthly
weddiug, for when, with quick
footsteps, her mother went to wake
the expectant bride, she found her
dead. The last kiss she had given
had been to her lover the night be
fore. The last kiss he ever gave
to any human being he gave to
her, as she rested in her coffin,
But he lived on in the beautifnl
house and does, with his great for
tune, a deal of gcod, all in the
name of the woman he loved. The
shutters are never opened in that
wonderful house; the carriage has
never been used; no feet have
danced tn the ball-room; but it
and the solitary man are there as
evidence of the fact t'.at a love
can so completely fill the heart
that all life is as nothing without
it.
Hello, little maid, I won’t be 1 rash—
If yon are a theif you don’t look it:
Bnt as my heart went off in a flash,
I—sort—of imagined you took ft.
“Now, I hate to believe that a face
That angels might covet for beauty
Would be linked with so deep a dis

And yet to believe is my duty.
Fact is, my heart went just as yen

and parts of my flesh seemed as if
it would come off my bones. A
