* 11W POLICY OF VI i > PAtl {
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts , In his
roplj to ben itor Untlors ndvocnev of
the ptoposil to nppiopriato sev
eral millions of dollars to promote
mete the emigration of negroes
ftom the south to Africa , chnr-
nclcrl7cd this most rcmarkablo project
as the policy of despair Tlio domi
nant whlto olomnnt in the south having
dotoimined that the negro shall not
have justice done him that the
rights guaranteed him bv the
constitution and the laws ho shall
not enjoy , and finding that In
this policy thoio is the ccrtaintj of nn
iriopressiblo conlllct , as a last lesort
propose to commit the govoinmont to a
pollcv of negro depot tation at a cost to
the whole people beginning with a fovv
millions of dolhus , but once entered
upon would roqulro , if vt ill succossftil ,
an expenditure ltirgot than the
l oven ucs of the nation for the
not decade It is only occossatj
to consider the practlcil nature
ot this oxtiaoidlnarj ptoposal
to nppicciato the nppositoncss
of Senatoi Hears churncterl/iition of It
No wilder scheme , as to both its moral
md niaclical aspects , was ovoi sug
gested , and it Is gratifying to find
that tlioro nro intelligent nion In the
South of the dominant political element
who condemn it ns uttorlv absurd and
linprictlcablc It very hi olj hnds
favm with a maioiitv of the white neo
plo or that section , but it ought to bo
cleat to the thoughtful among them
that no such policy c iu over
obtain in this country • In spirit
and purpose it is hostile to
the cardinal princlplo of ourropublican
svstcm , audits adoption would bilng
upon us the just loproach of the world
lho great Importance ind thogra\o
dlflleulties of the negio problo n are
universally admitted But Its solution
is not to bo found in expedients to coa-
ortocooico the negroes lo lcivo the
country , lhoso people justly rogatd
the United States as their tlght-
ful homo , and while a few
of the moro adventurous might
accept nn oppottumtj to go
to Afiicn or Romewhero else at the
oxpouso of the government , the very
great majority could not bo induced to
do so under nay circumstances Cocrciv o
mcasuies we have no right to adopt ,
nor would the controlling public senti
ment of the country tolcrato thorn
Such policies as the despotic govern
ments of Tut opo hay o adopted toward
peoples olTonslvo to the domln mt element
mont cannot laid nccoptnnco in this
republic until our people nto prepared
to abandon their republic m sys
tem of government It is a
hopolcss scheme , therofoio , that the
southern senators have proposed as a
means of solving the negro pioblom ,
but Its discussion may do some good in
moro forcibly emphasizing to the south
ern pcoplo the fact that any other
policy than that of justice to the negro
cannot receive the support of the great
body of the Ameucan pcoplo , nnd that
until that policy la given full and fair
trial the demand fet it will not cease
THE UOUbE 1WI1 H
It 19 expected that the present vvcok
will wltnoss the bogintung of the con
test over the now niles of the house of
representatives , which promtsos to bo
both livolj and piolongcd The dolnv
ot the cotomittoo in fiumlng now rules
has , it appears , not been due attogothor
to the enforced absonca of Mr Carlisle
and Mt Kundall , but in p u t to a diffci -
once of views between the republican
members It ia stated that Spoaltor
Reed favors An extension of the juris
diction and pnwor of the speaker ,
and that at lo ist ono of his
republican colleagues on the
comralttoe hesitates about consenting
to this and othot innovations upon the
p ist practices of the house This dilfor-
oiico between republican members of
the cummitteo on rules baa not only do-
luy ed the work of arnnging the tules ,
but It is thought probable that It the
commlttoe icpubllcnns cannot unlto it
maj result In cioatiug adlvlsioujimong
the republicans in tlu house It is said ,
and the statement Is not incredible ,
that thu recent tidings of the
speaicei have not been ap
proved by all the republicans of
tlio house , and that thoto is a disposi
tion among some of thorn to lo iud Mr
Reed as unwaiiaiitubly unxious to ex
tend his Jurisdiction and power
Hon over this may bo , it is obviously
impoitant that the house ahull not
much longer go on as nt present , with
out any tales foi its government except
those of general pirliumcutaty law
1 hoio can bo no quostiou that a tovis-
ion of lho tules which hnU boon
