DECEMBER 2.1893. CAS THE CULORKlt MAX RISK BEREt IF ADZ 1 WHERE? The future of the colored man in tlie UiUed States is a question which has engaged the attention of many of our best modern thinkers. That the condition of the colored man is one not satisfactory to bimtelf or capable of commanding position in tbe affair! of government or businesses uDdcnlUblCitbere is no escape from the situation as it confronts UP. convention of colorefl of this country wnic'b his been in session Cincinnati this week may mark a new era in the history of this race. One of the most Important subjects under ecu- sideration by the convention was tDat of emigratioa.

a year ago iu this column the DBKOCKAT urged the emigration of the colored men to Africa, there to form a republic where development would surely result. The opening paragraph in the report of the emigration is very significant and is as follows: In the consideration of tbe development of the Afro-Americau, the main question Is: "Can he rise to exalted manhood in America!" and further "if be can not rise to manhood here, where can he do so?" The report then went on to say that the conditions of things America are not conducive to the fullest development of the negro brain orcharacter.that out side the colored man himself there is no encouragement of negro genius and progress, that instead drawbacks are on every hand even in the church. As a solution of this deplorable st; te of affairs the report cited two courses, revolution or emigration; the former, if employed, meant sure extinction of the race; the latter might bring relief. In conclusion It was recommended. In consideration of all 61 circumstances, that the colored people of the United States turn their attention to tbe civilisation of Africa as the hope of the negro race as a race, and with the hope of carving out a grand and noble destiny, and add greatness and glory to mankind.

While it is hardly probable that the colored portion of our country will ever emigrate, as a whole, to Africa, yet we look for the time when Africa will be made a power by the development of the race in that continent. INTERNAL revenue duties on whisky, beer aud tobacco cannot be run up too high. These things are luxuries, if there Is such a thing, and on luxuries the principal revenue should be levied. THAT was a wise move of the citizens' committee In appointing au executive officer to felicitate relief. Aud no better selection could have been made than Mr.

Patch I e. That the gentleman can and will sacrifice bis private business for this cause entitles him to generous plaudits. A NEW YOKK man went to church and while kneeling, it cannot be said he was praying, he took his via the revolver route. He gave as the reason, inability to provide for his aged It is hard to see how tbe mother's condition will be in anyway Improved by the rash act of her son. AKdUED to a standstill on legitimate lines, a venal republican press is now associating the names of President Cleveland, Secretary Lamar and other prominent democrats with a wood pulp mill, because the new tariff bill imposes a duty of 10 cents a pound on wood pulp and takfs off tbe dutv on certain acids used in its manufacture.

A party thai gets into such straits as this Is on the Tftrge of dissolution. WHEN the AVtrs says its daily circulation is the largest of any paper published in cities of the size of Hamilton, it utters what no one believes, and we doubt if it believes it itself. It is a well known fact that the DRM ocBIT has the largest circulation of any paper published la Bullet county and this is attested by the fact that tbe ad vertlslng rates of the DIMOCIUT are higher than those of any other paper, higher because our circulation Is greatest, warranting it. Advertisers pay ac carding to circulation; this Is all a news paper has, on which to bate Its rates and Iu usefulness to advertisers. PtlOSPRGT AND TtETRUSl'KCT.

Since tbe Wilson tariff bill bis been made public, nearly all our public men have bad their say regarding it. Mosi republicans condemn it because Is a denocratlc measure; other republicans not afraid to admit tbelr genuine convlc tloBs, admit that it Is correct leflsla tion.

In imagination they have already nominated Governor McKlnley for president in low) ana elected him by an overwhelming majority. Unhappily for cheerful vaticinations of this kind, they, have been uniformly de feated and disgraced by the event.

Protectionist panic mongers have made far more capital out of popular fear of tariff reduction thaniout of the legislation Itself. The people do not quarrel with a reduction of tne burdens of taxation, no matter In what form the reduction may come. Agitation against high tariff spoliation never ceases except toe removal of the evil. Agitation agasnst low tariffs are of extremely brief duration. The history of Pennsylvan'a is the history of the country on this question.

In 1846 Pennsylvania was the centre of tbe protected interests as it fs now Ctc state had then a much larger pro- portionateahareof the Iron manufacture tban at present. Every member of tbe Pennsylvania delegation In congrfse, which contained a majority of democrats, voted against the tariff of with (fee solitary exception of Da via B18t; Vice President Dallas, who gave tbe casting vote for the bill In the enate, and Wilmot were denounced as traitors, and burned in ef- Bgy from one end of the commonwealth to tbe other, The only state officer elected that year was a cans! comnils- sioner, and the whig candidate was elected with the aid of tariff democrats by a arge majority. At tbe same time a majority of Whigs was returned in the delegation to congress. Tbe protectionists in the exultation over their sue- ceis in Pennsylvania confidently predicted tbe speedy repeal of tbe tariff 01 iS46 and the complete restoration of their policy. But the protectionist triumph was of short duration, and barren of results.

In the next year (1817) the wbigs, sure of victory on tbe high tariff issue, nominated James Irvln, a popular citizen, for governor, and, to their astonishment, the returns when counted gave a majority of 15,000 yotes for Francis Shunk, his democratic opponent. Tne people of Pennsylvania had already kindly to the reduction of their tariff burdens. There was no way of making successful appeal to ignorant 'ears and of creating panic alarm against tte accomplished measure which commended itself to the approval of the country. Tbe high tariff ty rapidly melted away under the Influence of this legislation, and the result of the election for President In 1848, two years after Its enactment, hinged largely upon the slavery question, which caused a division in the democratic party, and upon the popularity of a military chieftain in the Mexican war. Four years after, In 1852, the whig party of protection carried four states only for their candidate for President, and ihen sank forever beneath tbe political surface.

So successful was the tariff of 18411, politically and economically, that the republican heirs of the defunct oarty of protection in 1857 introduced in congress aud helped the democrats to pass a bill making a still further reduction of duties on imports. 'This history is full of instruction to all parties. It shows timid democrats that the political danger Is not in tariff reform legislation, but In the popular alarms which the professional protectionists are able to create in tbe absence of such legislation. It shows the republicans that their hopes of success in opposing tariff reform when once accomplished are vain and Illusory. Whtn tbe programme of tariff legislation shall have become a reality they can no longer practice upon popular fears of the unknown; and the restoration of tbe McKlnley tariff will be as remote and Improbable as the revival ol the wblg party B1 TELEGRAPH, by Tritgra-ph to the WHITB HAVEN, Dec.

VEN at TnanksffivlnK the capital gossips. I was reminded of this today when I stopped tt Chamberlain's famous restaurant tor A moment and found a group of men Bitting about a big table, and in their midst little Billy Mahone telling There was the same little runt of a man ve used to see in the sen.ue or at the front in the exciting Virginia campaigns of a few years ago, and the same white slouch hat drawn well down over bis, peering Mr, Mahone looks not day oUkr than he did 10 years ago. He ia one of the famous story tellers of the capital, and always has a coterie of admirers about bim. Like many another maa who has lived the greater part of his active career, he loves nothing better than to come to this scene of his former triumphs and mingle with his old friends. This is a peculiarity of EX-SENATOR MAHOXE.

life in Washington. Every day we eee some of the old timers who have dropped in at the house or senate or the favorite haunts after dinner to seek out their old friends and talk over the olij dajs, Ex-Senator Ed- muiuls is 01)6 ol tb.6 famOtis tnfen of a few years ago who love to come to Washington, and whenever Mr. Ed' iminds appears on the floor of the senate, as ho does now aud then, there is a rush to shake his hand and extend him friend" greeting. With all his acerbity and the venomous tendency of his tongue, Mr. Edmunds ia one of the most popular men Washington has known for a long time.

General Mahone Reform. One of little Billy Mahone's peculiarities is that he has gone hack on the beverage of his life. No longer does he drink whisky. Time was when Billy Mahone without a bit of tine old whisky before him would not have been Billy Mahone at all. He was famous for the quality of his liquor, as he was for the hospitality dispensed at his fine old estate down iu Virginia, and for the hams and other delicacies produced on his plantation.

Now Billy Malione drinks nothing but beer. By way of explanation he says the man who sticks to whisky all his life will burn himself out, while the drinker may get heavy ami soggy, but ho will live a long time enjoy life, while his friend, the red drinker, is sleeuiiig beneath the Oddly enough, Mr. Mahone drinks a glass of beer before breakfast. He is perhaps the only rnau iu Washington who does that. But Mr, Mahone thvays was eccentric.

Senator Mitchell of Oregon came in while tbe conversation at Mr. Mahone's table was turning to drinks and their influence upon longevity and said: "1 do not believe this theory that, the beer drinker will live longer than the whisky drinker. With all deference to G-eueral Mahone, and I admit that he must know whereof he speaks as to both beverages, 1 maintain that the consumer of whisky, if be will make sure of having always the best quality of liquor, such as General Mahoue used to drink, will outlive, tbe beer sipper. I was talking about this the other day with a prominent life insurance man in this city, and this agent surprised me by eaying that in all the big life insurance companies a chronic beer drinker is under suspicion. If he is in good health, and his family record has been good, he may pass and get a policy, even though he drinks beer habitually.

But if there is'tbe smallest thing wrong with him, or his family history is unfavorable to longevity, they turn him down without ceremony. They do this on the theory, which they claim is substantiated by statistics, that when the grip, or cholera, or any other disease of aii epidemic form comes along, it is the beer drinker who first succumbs to it. Again, the beer drinker, according to the life insurance sharps, is the man who goes down before an attack of common illness, such as a fever or pneumonia, whereas the nonbeer drinker would have Vitality enough to resist it. "Again," continued Senator Mitchell, "they tell me that in Germany the life insurance companies do not attempt to do much business, and what they do write is at a larger rate of premium than in tiiis country or in England. Even in this country tlio life insurance experts are prejudiced against risks of Teutonic origin, though they are certainly among our moat sober ami industrious citizens.

Tim life insurance men say that Germans rarely live to an old that you may look about you in any community and you will find but few men of that nationality who have passed the sixty -fifth year." Dtuiffers of Drink. "A peculiarity of the life insurance business." said Mr. Chamberlin, "is that colored men find it almost impossible to obtain policies in the best companies, Here in Washington we have many colored men who are possessed of considerable means and who are admirable citizens. But when they go to the life insurance companies for they are almost invariably turned down. Even when their health sueins perfect, only now and then is one taken by the strongest companies.

The explanation of this ia fouml in their inability, in moat cases, to furnish data as to their family biatory. They are lucky if they know who their and were, and their grandfathers and grandmothers as a rule they know nothing whatever about. "They don't know at what agen they died or of what iroubh-s.

As a matter of fact, the children are not the only who dislike to Thanksgiving come and go without even a first claw frost, for according to tbe laid down by all writers, the Ideal Thanksgiving should come well blanketed with snow. A few ago a certain promising Hamilton reporter being delayed by a freight train standing on tne C. H.

I. tracks at Second street attempted to climb over ine obstacle. The train suddenly began to more and to get off without running great risks the adventurous young scribe was carried to College Corner before a stop was made. He walked home. Again, a few ago another young man engaged in the same miserable pursuits in life, met an acquaintance who was braking on a C.

H. I. freight, and while under the very strange delusion that tbe train went to College Corner, and Immediately returned, concluded to make the trip. Arriving at the latter place he was laughingly informed that he was on the Indianapolis fast freight. He also walked home.

I learc that this la the reason one of tbe Hamilton papers recently had a feature on a "thrilling railrodd ride." OME people think that newspaper men are the most detestable beings on earth, and that they are neither honest, honorable, or possessed of any virtues whatsoever. This is another mistake that Is made, as the following little incident will fully explain. One day during tbe past week I was walking along the street wltb a reporter on one of oor local papers, wheu be saw a little girl stand'ng at tbe edge of tbe pave ment crying. Guessing the cause of her grief be asked her why she was crying and she told htm that she bad not had anything to eat since noon the day before. Although hardened to seeing many sad scenes, this was too much for the reporter and taking the little girl by the hand he went witb her to a store where she was given all she could eat.

Inquiring into the case the reporter found the little one deserving of help and then it was that he bought her shoes and stockings and sent her on her way rejoicing. Have newspaper men no hearts! Are they hardened and unkind? Do they forget the meaning of the word charity? Thsse ere questions for yon, not me, to answer. OT a great while ago there was a reception giyen to a new preacher. Not all brother English speaking preachers were present to welcome him. Whether this was by choice or by reason of neglect is not known to me, but tbe absence created talk and talk of a character not Dconducive of good Christian work.

There are too many of us too earthly folks who look to those who teach and loudly profess Christianity for our examples ana models, and when we see jealousies and petty differences carried to a point which occasions public comment we are apt to become a little shaky in the faith. HE main argument used by those who see something objectionable in. allowing the impoverished workingman to labor for the necessities of life instead of encouraging bim in becoming an object of charity, is that there is no money to pay for the work and that the funds for any special improvements could only be raised by an act the legislature. This Is a very unsatisfactory argument. But dropping the special improvement scheme, is tbere any legitimate reason why the unemployed could not be turned loose upon the streets of Hamilton with hoe and shovel as well as hauling gravel? The thoroughfares of this city are in a condition which is totally unprecedented, not only a mass of holes aud hollows but in many places.

Central avenue for instance, one side of the stands in abrupt elevation, a foot above the other. Of the street crossings, even In the center of town nothing need be said; silence is terrible enough. Then comes the howl that there Is no money in tbe city fund Well, supposing that there is not, is there any reason on earth why the six or eight thousand dollars raised by contributions should not be expended improving the citj and at the same time feeding the poorl Thn would be quite as large and while the deserving men would then earn an honest living, tbe city would in a short time have a presentable appearance. I WAS talking to a well-known Hamilton physician recently and the of vaccination came np. "Yon know that some doctors do not believe in vaccination," said I.

said the doctor, 'and I cannot understand bow anyone who given the subject any thought can come to such a conclusion, but differ well doctor then cited innumerable where ctnatlon prevented small pox; one was quite Interesting; it ts that of a former Hamilton public school teacher who varfolold for three dayp, teaching acbool all the time before he knew what wu tbe matter with him.
