TUESDAY MARCH 11. 1890.
St. Lovis has considerable induce-
meat to change the political complex-
ion of her state government about
now. Noland the state treasurer can
set forth 30000 good reasons why a re-
publican should succeed him.
Chinamen shipping as cooks or
sailors in China ports on American
vessels are under the provisions of
the United States exclusion act and
cannot be discharged and landed in
American ports.
Governor Francis has done his
simple duty in the Noland defalcation
case. He could do no less and was
not asked to do more. But the whole
episode will in the end aid the repub-
licans of Missouri. Defaulting state
treasurers in democratic states are
getting monotonous.
The faith cure as a theory is all
right but when it comes to sacrific-
ing the lives of children and other
innocents upon Its altars a halt is in
order. The faith cure is all right
when there is no serious malady to
-encounter but when the vital centers
are attacked by disease moonshine
and mystery are not adequate.
Harper the Cincinnati bank
wrecker went up for ten years he
has served less than three years and
now a pardon is proposed. He may
be converted to honesty but he was a
slick thief and his full term on pro-
bation will not be too long before he
becomes a member of the church of
honest endeavor in good and regular
standing.
There are very queer surprises in
store for him who wades deeply into
the mysteries of postage arrange-
ment. You can post a letter in the
United Jfates tor India via Liverpool
for five cents post that same letter in
Liverpool and it costs ten cents.
John Bull finds this out and is not
happy.
The English syndicate must have
married the horse-leech’s daughter.
Not content with gobbling up our
breweries our street car lines our
gas plants our oil works our cream-
eries etc. etc. it lays its baud upon
our canning industries and solders
them up. John has fallen violently
in love with the profits of American
industry and is in very great danger

ORIGINALIFNO MORE.
A correspondent of the New Or-
leans Times Democrat can take the
cake for an original proposition on
the colored question. The sugges-
tions of this correspondent are neither
wild nor woolly. He proposes to
apply the same methods in the elec-
tion of state officers as is adopted in
the election of a president and thinks
the whole evil can be met and all
ballot box stutling intimidation
fraud and bloodshed avoided. He
says:
“My proposition to tiie convention
soon to meet in our State to frame a
new Constitution is to adopt the
same plan to elect our State otllcers
that is used to elect the President of
the United States—to have an electo-
ral college and let the people elect
its members by counties. '1 hen le>
the State electors meet at the State
Capitol and cast the vote by counties .
for State officials and whoever they
choose will be the choice of the whole
people. There being more counties in
the State where the whites outnum- i
her the negroes there will be no dan- '
ger of the negroes ever eontroling our
State as most of them are located in
the delta counties. If there is any
chance of the negroes ever getting
control of the legislative branch ot
our State the constitutional conven-
tion could so apportion the Legisla-
ture as to give each of the seventy-
five counties one Representative in
the lower house and could so re dis-
trict the senatorial districts as to
guard against any danger ot ever los-
ing that branch of goverment.”
There is something perhaps to be
said in favor ot this plan from the
standpoint of a democrat anxious and
honestly so to do away with the shot
gun and tissue ballot abuses so ram-
pant in the south wherever the colored
vote is in the ascendency. There is
however one fatal defect in the
scheme. No provision is made for a
congressional election. This is after
all the real trouble with the south.
They can manipulate state matters
pretty much as they please but with
a republican administration it will
not be easy to defraud the repub-
lican party of the representation in
congress they are fairly entitled to.
Texas would have had one representa-
tive a republican in congress today had
there been a fair election in 1888
The vote of the black belt section ot
the Seventh district was suppressed
otherwise Brewster would hate been
elected. Now this colored vote must
come in somewhere and it cannot be
possibly so divided that it will count
nowhere. Gerrymander the districts
• as you may this vote must be count-
ed somewhere and when counted it
will secure the election of some repub-
lican congressman. The republican
1 party is entitled to al least twenty
congressional representatives in the
south which at present is denied it on
account of the republican vote being
uneast through intimidation or un-
counted through fraud. It will prob-
ably not be in the power of the gen-
eral government to insure a republi-
can form of government In the south-
ern states for many years to come; or
at least until the colored vote is so
largely divided between the two par
ties as to be practically out of contro-
versy. The Light has no suggestion
to otter concerning the plan proposed
by the correspondent above quoted
but should that plan be seriously con-
sidered and adopted there will be no
little curiosity to follow up the results
and see what relief will be afforded
thereby.
The republicans seat a democrat in
Alabama wheie seat is contested by a
republican ami seat a wheeler in Ar-
kansas who contests a democratic
seat. Fair play and not favoritism
rules in the republican chamber.
Charleston News and Courier is
ottering premiums for the best guess-
es on cotton outputs in bales for 1889-
90 and requests the Light to make
known the same. The only republi-
can daily in Texas makes the an-
nouncement with pleasure full parti-
culars given on application by mail
or in person.
Featherstone it is said is over-
whelmed with congratulations from
all parts of Kansas over his vindica-
tion at the hands of congress. It
shows that the spirit of tair play is
not dead in Arkansas and that the
redemption of that state from intimi-
dation and democratic usurpation
will not be forever delayed. Arkan-
sas will be out of the Bourbon co l
uni i some day.
