PKSFACK.

Since T. T. became a life-long Democrat, of the Jacksonian type, after the recent elections, he has found that political subjects have a powerful attraction for his nimble pen, in a word, to adopt a spiritual expression, Politics are "his affinity. He has learned from the

Journal, and all the Democratic papers which fluvor Mr. Voorhees' election to the Senate, that that gentleman in voting for the "salary grab," and keeping it, was only following the precedent of •every illustrious Democrat who ever had a chance to do it, and of course that makes it right. He has learned from the Journal also, that while the Republicans were down on the soldiers during the war, Mr. Voorhees was their fast and firm friend. And but T. T. was not intending to enumerate the,pleasant things which be has learned. He wanted to call attention to the last result of the recent election, the decision of tbe Supreme Court, or of Judge Buskirk, .that ~M mCMKBS CAST 00 to sexoor. With white folks. T. T. desires to pat *the Jodge on tbe back, and assure him jthat the intelligence, morally, and good "jjsenee, not only of Indtana, but of the entire nation Is on his ride. As T. T. understands tbe case it Is about this way: There is somewhere in this State follow by the name of Carter, And f. T. must stop to enter his protest against such fellows having a name "Thto Carter is a colored man, and color%td men, in the good old times before the ./war, to which we are happily returning, didn't have any name, that, is, any tom"lly name. They didn't know who their fathers were, or exactly to what family ihey beloved. These fccta were earn* *fully concealed from them so that they «bouldn't have tbe sime. But this fellow puts on airs, and call* himself Carter, and probabi expels to be called

Mister Carter. He has some children. He bad the impudence to send them to ihe public school. This is Just tho way. As soon a* yon make any thing of the?ie low dow$ feUova^aad give thesa the fcallot they think they ate as good as white folks, and must educate their (children. They never seem to haw the least sense that edootton is for White iblka. This follow wss such foot thai -he thought, because he paid taxi* for .jmImmIs, he could send his children. Of course he was taxed for tbe support of tbe schools, but whit of that? Dont 4ld bachelor*, and eld maids pay taxes tartbespopfMMrtof theacfaools.

suggest, and to urge with all the combined power of their two powerful organs, that the colored Democratic Congressman, who bas recently been elected, shall hold a caucus by himself when It Is necessary to have a party caucus of the members of Congress. The two racee must not, and if T. T. and the Journal can prevent it, shall not, be promiscuously mixed together in schools or elsewhere. And as for Congress itself now that niggers are eligible and elected, T. T. and the Journal think that either separate capltols should be built for the two raoes, or, until this is done, tbe oolorel members should have a session by themselves. They must not be mixed in schools or elsewhere. This principle T. T. and tbe Journal intend to stand by as long as there to a drop of honest Democratic blood in their veins. If anybody attempts to "promiscuously mix together" niggers with us, look out for war. As the Journal wisely says, neither party desires it." That to a comfort, too. T. T. takes real solid enjoyment in thinking that niggers do not desire to "promiscuously mix together" with him and other white folks likehim and the aforesaid editor.

SOUND AGAIN.

Hie Journal says another truo thing, which to, that Judge Busklrk's decision is based upon a law passed by a Republican Legislature. That to so. And that shows what the Republican party was when T. T. and tbe editor of the Journal were members of it. Since those days it has sunk itself so low that it advocates the equal rights of niggers in schools which they are taxed to sup port. We foresaw the depths of infamy to which it was hastening and washed our bands of all complicity in its nefarious plans. We are Democrats and ready to cry out against the nigger as loud as if we bad never' begen Republi^ps, in fact, a little louder. -_i

STOFTKD A5TD STARVED.

When we read, as we not infrequently do, of the great Amines in India or China, we wonder how such a state of things can exist, that people by thousands should be perishing from lack of the bare necessities of life, and we feel a gratefbl relief in thinking that we have no famines in America and that everybody here has enough and to spare. In our broad, rich land, so bounteous in its products, there to enough for all and none who to willing to work need want for food. So we think and say but it to not true. Every winter, impossible as it may seem, thousands of people actually froexe and starve to death in our large cities—die from absolute want in the midst ef the greatest abundance. Many more continue to live, or exist rather, but in such pitiable suffering and destitution that lite ceases to have any value save in tbe hope oi brighter days to come. This is tbe usual condition of things year in and year out. There are exceptional times in which matters are much worse. Such are the times when a financial panic sweeps over tbe country and paralyses tbe com mercial and industrial organizations. Then the factories and mills close, tbe mines shut uown and thousands of honest and industrious men are thrown out of employment to free the long winter with nothing ahead qnd no way of earning anything. Such a time to the present wiftter. Tbe correspondence of the press shows that In many places the saddest condition of aSaire exists. A letter from tbe mining region aboat Senuiton, Pa., gives a terrible picture of destitution and distress among tbe fern iitasof tbe miners. The iron industry of tbe country to prostrated and the coal which was required in tbe mills and ternaoaatoftowtoa tottitoigsmuid. The miner finds his occupation gone and to not able to provide food for hi* Wife and children. would like to transcribe a portion of that letter hero bot spaoefor-

The substance of It to thte} In a rickety cabin with a laaky roof and eracks through which the wind blew was a wotaaM with a sullen, defiant free, shoeless, stocking^ess and clothed In an obi tattered dress. There were four yom^ obiidmt, hatf ^otbed a«d more than half starved, shivering at her feet, Tbe firr on the hearth had died out sad the mom wan ©rid. Tbewemanwas like a wild beast than a human Mag. Sbe went to the bwken window, pointed to the bouses of tbe rich that glecmed In the moonlight ontbe atber aMeofthe fo*$6 and poured out a flood of bttier denundation and invective. Says Use writer:

The cries of the woman sromad her two steeping Children, sod one of them upon arising atuod beta* me alaaoat as naked as st the hour of its birth. "Look at them," shouted the interiatod creature. "Look a* ttiiswi. They am cold they are starving, while the cfattdrto at them over there have had their supper, and am now Oee^ng in tbetr nk» wmtn beds. It Is not twesuse they are better off than us, but because they hwvc bceti almiij and cheating us for yean." Than followed mother outburst of rage and despair that would terrify any listener and cattse him to ptaea his hands upon bis ««rs l«st thememoiyof the stonnds should haunt fcltn tower."

This was not aa «xc*pttoiMl aad !a»| times «appa«e«

lated case. After giving further details tbe correspondent sayst "It to useless for me to continue the reproduction of these sad pictures, went into more than twenty homes, to all of which, unless something be done, death and starvation must come before spring. I saw poverty and distress In all their forms, ana saw no home that was comfortable or well led."

We cannot doubt that similar scones of want and suffering are to be met with in many sections of "this rich and beautiful land of ours," where industry to stagnated and large bodies of workmen are thrown out of employment.

In addition to these cases we have an actual state of famine, ftunine as real and terrible as any that ever decimated the provinces of- Asia, in portions oi Nebraska, Kansas and Arkansas. People are starving to death from lack of food and tbe condition of things will grow worse as the icy winter advances for the then horrors of freezing and starving will bo combined. It is true that efforts are being made to relieve this distress, whether commensurate or not, by benevolent people. Food and clothing are being shipped in large quantities to the sufferers. Yet it is probable that many will not be relieved at all and will be left to perish from hunger and cold. The distribution of goods will be inefficient and irregular, some localities will receivo too mui and others too little.

Such pictures of wide-spread want and suffering in a country of such fertility and abundance as this, must set every thoughtful person to inquiring whether there is not something inherently wrong in tbe present organization of society. When people suffer and perish from want and yet there is abundance in the land—when the brawncy-armad laborer cannot give food and clothing to hia family not because he Is not willing to work, but because there is no work for him to do, while the table of his rich neighbor groans with all the luxuries of the season—there must be something wrong and radically wrong. It may not be easy to suggest the remedy, to work out the perfect organization of so ciety, but that there to a great evil all must admit and that such a state of society is crude, unscientific tfnd imperfect it would be be the hight of absurdity to deny. True, the schemes of the social reformers hitherto have not supplied tbe needed cure and perhaps the carefully elaborated systems of all future philosophers will be found equally impossible and absurd but this does not prove that the present system which supports half tbe world in gluttony and leaves tbe other half to starve is either what God designed or the best that human wisdom can attain to. Doubtless a time will come, and that within a shorter period than has witnessed the birth of tbe steam-engine, when our children will took back to the present state of society with some such feelings as we look bade to the stoveleas, chimneyless, wbidowless, floorless, bodless hovels of our mediaeval ancestors. And if our statesmen and political economists would be take themselves to the practical study of the imperfections of onr social and political system, with an earnest en deavor to improve it, the advent of that period would be much hastened. What we need is that practical minds shall take hold of the subject and introduce small and gradual improvements from time to time. This is the way society is reformed and not by a sudden jump.

Don't blester. A kon does Mr best work when sitting. Don't kick a man #ben be is down. The poor devil may get up, someday.

Don't educate yourself for the stage. Any fool will do for a stage driver. Don't Imagine that you are wiser than your peers. The world will not mistake a heron for an owl.

Don't show partiality. It's Wrong to pry all your money to your tailor, and leiyohr bash fimtor suffer.

Don't hold yourself responsible for the sins of your neighbor. Better let the Recording Angel keep th«lr account.
