THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS, SUNDAY, 19, IBM. 13 THE THIRD PARTY. ADVISED TO STEER CLEAR OF BOFHISTEm -ii, Bapnblic'B Peril-- Tha Bane, BAnkruptoy and V. Itt Misaion. HILIWA, -Tune THK Because I believe my people aro extra liable to be rnietAUtfbt and mUguided by tho so-called people's party because I believe the tlieories of said people's party are pernicious in every particular; and because, owing to 'continued ill health I not take the plat' form to damonatrato all this, I you to print this for tho instruction of all colored men who may want to know and act right irrespective of party Allegiances or racial agitations.

We, that is, the colored people, aro the numerical, iuteUectual, financial and physicial minority in thifi land ami therefore we can not trifle with any of the prerogatives of freemen with' out thereby calling down upon our heads a double portion of punishment. The night fcl- -lows not more surely the day than that we Bhallbo made to pay the penalty of erery hasty and- inconsiderate act. Therefore in sans, and above all between tho so-called peo- party and the old established parties, do not concern us; or, at all evohte. they will the dominating sovereigns of this land 1 fpr good or for ill long before wo can know or the change. can afford to put up with what tho.

minority of these 'dominatingsovereigns must endure; but we never wisely'take the part of. can or the without first assuring ourselves beyond question of the rectitude, justice 'and wisdom, our own and of tho conduct of those -whose interests we espouse. What man of us to affirm that advocacy by us of tho of the people's- party fultUl these I neither know nor have I board one iota of a reason why we should jump in 'and help these people. Does any other negro 4M know or hear more than I du? The permanency und' usefulness of the peo- party should be oh the ground of its. vory nature.

It is made of disgruntled petty politicians out of all parties, of heterc- geueous and divergent trades of men untried in. governmental harness, many of i whom have signally failed in tho management of their own private affairs. In the Tight of history, therefore, which is said to repeat iU we aro jubiiiiod in buppubiug Unit conglomerate of incongruities can never fuse about a codu of civic principles. Once in power then they would fly to pieces like glass; for to do anything thoy must mortally wound some of its votaries. Thus the people's party once in authority will bo tho most disappointed of all, because they will find action aud inaction alike fatal to the life of 'their assump- tions.

We havo a perfect rtyht to suspect people's party of downright childlike dism- ffonubusnora or that thoy take tho majority of the American people to be incapable of following a plain proposition to itt logical conclusion. Their platform, their literature and their orators toll us whbly ot all the wondor- ful things they are going to do, but Without I "i one scintilla of indication of tho plausible flpfl Wo (mould want to inquire bow just ea often as what and why. Wo know 1 by their saying what and why they want to do something, but much hunting fails to discover 'the ways and means they propose to employ. Take, for example, their proposition of government ownership of railways. What Is the legitimate inference? Tho government must buy them or tho government must confiscate them.

Ia any right thinking colored man in favor of either courseV To buy them 1 outright would bankrupt tho government or at- tno least entail upou prosperity an Increased bunion of taxation to last a tjaciusljid years. Who irculU do UfOt? OuUiu other hand confiscation Is repulsive to the dic- totes of honor and justice. To begin it would be but to start tho downfall of tho republic infallibly. To tax us who own no railroads to pay those who do, while aiTording tho so Herd oqufll privileges with us who must pay tho score, would be the name as buying a man's farm and giving him half the use of it. This would be good, the sellers would think, no doubt; but what must wo say who have to pay? If confiscation Is to sot In who shall set the bounds at which It must atop? If the government may eontlocate my railway stocks why may It not with equal benevolence confiscate my live stock--my chickona, my cows and wheat and what not? Is tho case bettered if tho government buy and pay for my railroads? The answer is: Not a whit.

If the government may. clone me out of the rail" way business at will why may it not with 1 tvjunl mo out of oittln bmi- nos3? We 'can not escape- tho conclusion, therefore, that either to Ijpy or to oonficate the railroads would be an act at war with the principles of good government, They do indeed propose one other course as an alternative, but it is not worth wasting a second thought with. They affoct to behove that this government or tho government as they will make it Is an infallible, omnipotent sovereign whose fiat not only can make things, but can make anything right. Children might be excusable for uttering the like, but what excuse thinking and road men can have for proclaiming such rank nonsense as the cardinal article of their political creed I am entirely at a loss to find out. Their magic wand or panacea is to bo fiat, or bllly-be-damn money.

Now as a matter of fact rabbit money has been resorted to numberless times in the course of the world's history and there is no record anywhere of oven measurable success it. These people may succeed where the world has tried often and failed as often, but no thinking colored man will bo justified iu giving tho strength to try. A man, no matter how wise, how etrong or how wealthy he may be, can not live in ojwm de- fianco of the civic and social methods around him without imminent danger to his reputation, social.standing and character. Govern. rnunts are like men this respect.

When' ever a government chooses to outrage the eo- ana civic methods of the society of it is at once outlawed, and it has always bean but a question of time when such a gov- ernment has been brought to repentance or tho outlaw's penalty--death. A man's business must conform to the accepted code of business law or ho will and with equal truth it may be maintained that our govern; roent will invite financial disaster by a radical and violent departure from what the family of nations as a leasonablo effort At upright dealing. So much for their distinctive tenots. I may assert further, without fear of successful contradiction, that whatovor else thoy advocate that looks reasonable or that ought to live is alroady set forth with equal or groator clearness by some other party. Successful aud wise government presumes a multiplicity of interests to be attended to, bat this people's party affords us no idea of how it understands and willdcal-with any but two or thrpo.

Thus it in nn npt illustration of tho paradox advocating too much and too little. Tlio foEogoiug wholly upon economic and patriotic considerations, and con therefore bo maintained by black or white indifferently. But over and above all I havo said, and oven though it were not of value to the extent and degroo I imagine, still I havo deeper dowh roaaong roting upon racial considerations which uiako me miatnist and foar hia peopla'n party. In tho first place otfor the country nothing thut can he bolipvod in save nnd only u.n others already offer, and they oifor the colornd no innro. Tf republican or domocrnt or prohibitionist offer me as niMtti iLo Country inuto, th inw 1'ouuvuiuiico re-quires that I help republican or democrat or prohibitionist.

This in indisputnblo. In Iho second placo, the heart and ioui of tho pooplo'; party nrstlrs about tho unions, many of whirh tho negro.

The would hf reaaoni whinh a few colored men allege an wcuuiv for their affiliation 10 party aje seen examination to be uuae or else grounded in a apprehunsion of wme potent facts.

Still another says: "I want better prices for my cotton; 1 want mouopolista put down, therefore I am going with tho people's party and plenty of To the first I would answer, it would bo just as good logic to say "The churches are doing nothing for mo, nnd what good do churches do anyway? therefor I am going to hell." To tho second brother 1 would answer: "People havo boon breaking up the democratic party that way from time immemorial aud still it comes up smiling every now nnd then to bo broken up again that way. The simple truth is' that with these third party coinmunmta out the domocratie party is morally strougerand more respectable. If it keeps on at this preeont rate it will soon bo good enough for a colorod man to vote with," To.tho third I would answer: ''The people's party proposes'to replace all Bo-called monopolies by big. monopoly, whoso character we know nothing of.

The ribs the hide and thu hair of 1 the people's party are monopolies, and we wore foolish to expect it to act. contrary to the laws of Its own life. people's party must rob to pay Paul, bankrupt the nation by taxation, or engage 1 in a svstora of wholesale confiscation. By this measure it.must be weighed and bo allowed to rise and fall, and not, as they seem to think, by the long and short of existing parties." IInknY CLAY GHAT, THE OMAHA DEILL.

CAMP BROOKE, OMAHA, Juno cial Correspondence. 1 thing is going on tjiiietly in Cfttnp Brooke to-ilny. Nothing of a vory lively character especially happening commanders of interstate companies aro confining tholrmen rather closely to camp and having practice drills twice a day.

Evory day finds occasionally something now in tactics as tho resuit of observation or discussion, and it in safe to Bay that hero IB not a company In the entire tfamp that not changed many points iu method of drilling. For instance, ouo of tho prominent companion here In doing tho manual of arms did nut require tho guides on tho line to do tho but soon discovered that such an error would Imvo bcon very ruinous and of oourso hastened to make tho.chaug*. The at root parade preucutud something quite sensational. Thtire was some misunderstand- "iati about placet) to which the Chicago zouaves and Cincinnati artillery woro assigned iu the column, bringing about considerable fnnllnff mid iWMiltw! of oovornl minutes' dtiratiori as tho moved throUgh dnd of "the main avenues which to become vory surious but waa stopped with a fow canunltioB, tho sabres of the artillery being hiuro oiloctivo than tlio zouaves' guns. For tho first time 1 aim oat in the history of interstate drills thoro have been no pools sold on tlio result, the sporting element, which is generally on hand on 6uch occasions, parei)tly failing to maUralizc.

Both of the Tcxat) companies wore placed on tho losing side at tho battlo, which was commanded by volunteer olllccrs, and was a very poor attempt in this line. The main street of tho Bolknap' camp evinced the patriotism of tho boys from tho Alamo cityj a grand landscape giving the ox- terior elevations of tho historic Alamo, while just near tho handsome colors presented to thorn by the ladies of San Antonio stands planted in tho center of a Toxas star, and attracts tho attention of all visitors. This company has a now uniform. It is a dark bluo coat, light blue pahtu, white trimmings and helmet with a spike. They will not bo shown until the day tlio company drills, and will doubtless make a hnndsomo appearance.

The wore a white uniform when thoy drilled, and were vory generously applauded, encouraging them very much and making thorn fool that they aro atrictlj in it. The camp is named in of Brigadier General Brooko of tlie regular army, and command of tho division of the Platte. The Dallas artillery think they aro going to carry back tho artillery prize to Texas.

BERLIN, June 1893 by Now York Auwciated The leading topic of conversation ia court uad diplomatic circles iff the projected conference between the czar and Emperor Francis Joseph.

It is understood that the conference first suMgosted by Emperor William tit the recent mooting between hinisoll' and tho czar at Kiel. Communications on tho subject havo since been exchanged between St. Petersburg and Vienna which promise to result in. the extension of a formal invitation by the czar to Emperor Francis Joseph to take part this autumn in an hunting expedition at Spain, Holland. The utmost importance is attach id to arrangements tending to modify the Russian entente with France.

The official feeling here is sanguine enough to hope that a personal exchange of views bu- tween Emperor Francis Joseph mid the czar will succeed in detaching tho latter from hit French alliance and lead to a permanent ect- tlement uf the irritating Balkan question. No special significance attached to King Humbert's visit to Berlin. Tho lutes phase of the report of a reconcile- tion between the emperor and Prince Bismarck discloses the hollowness of the whole affair. The Deutcohe AUgomeine Zoitung, Bismarck's new organ In Cologne, that, any overtures looking to reconciliation have been made by either side. The government is watching with the keenest interest the development of the approaching elections in England.

When the dictator had reached his refuge Sarna was to publicly announce Falacio's. retirement, declare submission fcu his people and call upon congress to name the next president.

Crespo and hia army are meanwhile continuing their march upon the Hnuffe of LONDON, June William Vernon Harcourt made a bitter nttnck on the government in tho house of commons last on the ground that it was using the house of lords as an instrument of obstruction. Mr. Balfour denounced the attack on tho house of lords extraordinary for Sic William HflT-court.

The house of lords, he said, was not delaying business, but was merely following the ordinary procedure. He uudud that since polling hours had bean extended to 3 p. m. no disfranchising of workmen would occur by not holding elections' on Saturday. On the contrary, Saturday polling would disfranchise of small shopkeepers and was likely to bo accompanied by drunkenness and disorder.

Japanese Dally Baths. In hygienic mittern the Japanese hard everywhere a habit which may have a lesson for In their nightly bftth and morning wash tho water is never cold, never warm, but always hot as it can be borne. To foreigners this habit seems very surprising, but the Inveterate Englishman, if he stays in the country long enough, abandons his cold tub in its favor. The cold taking which It suspected must follow It is not found to occur if the water has been hot enough. The heat IB maintained by a little furnace beneath tha bath.

In the bath tho bather or bathers take a prolonged soaking, the washing proper ing done on the bath room tioor; then follows a second nnd final soaking, drying with towel and lounge in bathing wrapper. This habit seems to promote 1 softness and Biipplonesa of the skin, and by persons inclined to rheumatism is soon round to bo altogether preferable to tha cold bath in every particular. Tho poorest of the Japanese hear of a cold bntti with amazement, and would be sure tho mrin who used it must be a barbarian. tlore is nn ensj method of whether a supposed diamond Ui genuine or not: Fierce a hole in a card with a needle and then look at tho hoio through thoetone.
