the presiding officer ruled that the senator from virginia was out of order and that the s*nator from north carolina had the floor that said mr riddleberger is because the senator from arkansas ( mr berry does not know anv bet ter the senator from virginia is again out of order the presiding officer declared and it is a question for the senate to determine as to its correc tion at this point mr ingalls resumed the chair and with a sharp rap of the iravel recognized the senator from north carolina mr vance had not proceeded far in his argument when a point of order was again raised by riddleberger the presiding efficer mr ingalls asked mr vance to pause until the point of order should be stated and take his seat interrupted mr riddleberger the chair will attend to the enforce ment of the rules of order said the presiding officer in a tone of rebuke the senator from virginia will state his point of order mr riddleberger did not persist much further but stated his point of order to the effect that the morning business had not been gone through with the presiding offiecr declared that the point was not well taken and di rected the senator from vrginia to take his seat mr riddleberger however did not comply with the order but persisted in his objection if the senator from virginia does not take his se;'t said the presiding officer in a severe and resolute man ner the chair will call on the execu tive officer of the senate to enforce its rules there was no further contest and mr riddleberger with an air of pro found disgust retired to a seat on one of flic sofas mr vance then proceeded with his argument and finished it without furl her interruption he contrasted the injustice of giving free raw ma terial to the manufacturers of per fumery and cosmetics and refusing w raw material to the agricultural lasses whose products constituted 1 1 per cent of all the exports of the country the debate was continued by messrs jones of arkansas dawes vest his cock teller and harris finally a vote was taken on mr coke's amendment and it was rejected by a party vote — yeas 19 nays 23 mr riddleberger not voting mr vest moved to reduce the rate on horseshoe nails hob-nails and other nails not specially enumerated in the net from 4 cents a pound to 2x cents rejected 21 to 24 mr vance moved to amend para graph 141 as to railway bars c bv making a duty of 1 per

comon or block ). having been reached mr vance moved to reduce the rate on sizes thinner than no 29 wire ga - ige from 15-locents per pound to 30 ad valorem rejected 17 to 22 paragraphs 14 as to sheets of iron or steel corrugated or crimped > and 147 as to taggers iron i were at the sug gestion of mr allison passed over in fo mally mr vance moved to amend para graph 4 by striking out the proviso which imposes on taggers iron or steel an additional rate of one cent per pound ejected the bill was then laid aside about four piiges tjng in n disp i ed of jhls we what do the negroes say to this the cleveland ohio sunday world is a leading republican organ of the str lightest sect in its issue of the oth inst it says editorially : the question that will soon be of all-absorbing interest is the question of ■ the color line the question of the rights and privileges of negroes the j question not only of their right to vote and hold office but their rights in a social way negroes are slaves noloi - ger and no one save perhaps a few rabid southerners would like to see the times of 1850 return the question now rising is not a question of equali ty the question of the color line in the south seems to be purely a matter of politics and the republicans urge that every colored mansvo'ebe count ed because the negroes are republicans as far however as the majority of these southern negroes a;e capable of judging what the rights of ballot means 10.000 bobtail gorillas trained to put folded pie&s of p i e - in a slot would exercise as much judgment and understanding as 10,000 co'or-d repub lican voters in louisiana and georgia the northern negro is encroaching up n the white man's rights he is el liming equal rich's with the privile - ed citizens of this republic and forcing himself into their midst he en ters society circles he dines at any res taurant he conies to the opera-hou e with his girl and sits down beside yon he tries to join your club and gener ally succeeds he sits down in your seat on a railway train and he moves up close to your wife on a street car indeed he considers himself the whie man's equal in every respect and it will not be many years befoie he will imagine himself his superior a lady enters a dressmakers shop she has lo wait a few uiinut s while a cullnd lady is being fitted a man goes into a barber shop he has to wait until a cull nd gentleman's is shaved the cry is educate the negro it seems that the more negroes are edu cated the more fvr.vard they become they will not recognize the fact that there is a prejudice against them which prejudice can never be overcome a darkey does not know his level he dobs up where he is not wanted like in inflated bladder prick the bladder and down it goes cannot this ques tion of the color line ba settled by forcing the negro to his level there is a cry the chinese must go a sup piemen tal cry is slowly being founded perhaps as yet it is only in the process of incubation but there is no danger of it not being hatched negro cheek and negro forwa.dness will furnish the heat it is recognized that the above is at variance with the usual order oi things but we believe we express the sentiment of the major ty this from an ohio republican pa per published in a state whose repub lican white citizens are now making war upon the negroes and refusing to permit them to attend public schools or employ them as domestics llepub cans all over the north are beginning to speak out plainly in favor of reduc ing and confining the negro to his sphere that is u place of fixed inferio rity politically and otherwise it is an open secret that white republicans in north carolina are becoming very restless under the aggressive disposition md their tendencies of political allies li will not be long before these southern negroes will be appealing to the south ern white democrats to protect them against those who they havesoslavishly followed since emancipation multum in parvo a cubit is 2

spoken of sterility or a deaf-mute idiotic or deformed progeny is predicted and ex amples are always at hand to cite in support of the prophecy does this opinion rest upon positive and well authenticated facts or is it erroneous this is a question that was examined a few years ago by mr 1 h darwin who after a profound study of the subject came to the con clusion that in the present state of science there is nothing to justify the common prejudice that exists against the marriage of near kin more re cently the subject has been further examined by mr a h huth who has just published an exhaustive work ' upon it in which he arrives at the ; same conclusion that mr darwin did mr huth thinks th.it consanguinity of itself plays no particular role in the union of individuals of the same stock in the descendants it increases the tendencies common to the two jr-ge nitors by reason of their relation ' ship the closer the relationship of the ancestors the greater is the tendency of the descendants to exhibit the same dispositions if these are good con sanguineous unions will be a vantage ous ill that they will fortify and in tensify them if on the contrary they ! ire bad such unions should be avoided in order to prevent a re-enforcement of infavorable tendencies which should be suppressed but the case is identi cal where it is a question of unrelated persons no reasonable person would urge two neuropathic individuals of different family to unite lecause he knows that the neurosis has every liance to become intense in the de scendants oil the contrary a union between consanguineous individu ils equally healthy and well favored ought to be encouraged what may be urged against marriages of near kin ' is the facility with which unfavorable tendencies are transmitted and the relative rarity of the circumstances in which such marriages can really be idyised but this admitted and ex ' plained consanguinity of itself presents 10 inconvenience especially if we con sider how remote by reason of the ex isting laws upon marriage is the de gree of consanguinity between the in 1 viduals capable of uniting legiti mately upon the whole consanguinity ac uinulates and intensities tendencies ; if these are bad the marriage of near tin should be avoided if good it may ' be favored but as unfortunately ' the unfavorable tendencies are more jasily and frequently transmitted be ' aus they are the ones that are estab ' iished with the most facility there is ' oftener more reason for avoiding than seeking such unions upon the whole mr ii nth concludes that the accusa tions directed against marriages of near ' kin are not justified in the present state of science - i g ■ — what the professor said it is related of a famous singing naster that when a young girl of un isual talent was once brought to him for instructions he asked is she liscouraged oh no indeed was the reply she is always happy and full of confi dence ah said the master shaking his head then i fear that we shall never do much with her this anecdote which at first may eem only singular is in reality full of valuable suggestions the master remark was founded upon long obser vation and conveyed a truth which we believe every teacher of experience will at once recognize the success for which all students f music are striving is entirely rela tive what to one seems success and distinction to another more ambitious and with higher ideals will be only a beginning but it is safe to say that distinction and real success of the higher kind come and can come only to those with something of the genuine artistic temperament the world is full of musicians who by labor and perseverance have acquired much knowledge of music and a good degree of executive skill they play or sing correctly or skillfully perhaps even brilliantly but they have not a spark ! of the feeling or inspiration the subtle and mysterious something by what ever name we choose to call it which marks and distinguishes the born art ist these work faithfully and make progress regularly and according to their efforts if they an even dis couraged it is on account of their lack of favorable opportunity or
