cording to tenor or purpose.
The Color Line in Politics.
The President's letter to an unnamed
South Carolinian and Booker Washington's
card to an Alabama newspaper, which ap
pear In print today, have relation to the
same general subject, and are communica
tions of general interest.
The President could not with credit to
himself have withheld his views, and he
could not have expressed them more clearly
or frankly. There has been a persistent ef
fort for some months to misrepresent ard
embarrass him on the question of the color I
line in polities, and it was time for him to
put an end to so shabby an industry. That
he has done so with this letter we may
easily believe. It will not be possible in fu
ture for the so-called "Lily Whites" of the
south to claim him as an indorser of their
policy, or for the colored men of the north
to charge him with an abandonment of the
principle of the equality of all men before
the law. ie stands, by his own express
declaration, for what his party has stood
since the electorate was enlarged: and
neither local prejudice on the part of his
political opponents nor shiftiness on the
part of a few members of his own party
will affect his attitude. 1
Mr. Washington likewise has been the
victim of some misrepresentation, and he
replies to it in good temper. Why should
he not when requested give his views on
the subject of fit men for public office?
How loes that militate against his useful
ness as an educator? He is a resident of
the south, he possesses unusual facilities for
gauging the temper of the people there,
both white and black, and nobody doubts
'his desire to help promote the general good.
Fancy such a man, when asked his opinion
about this appointment or that, hanging
back and intimating to the President of the
United States that he ought not to be con
sulted about such matters! Properly
enough. Mr. Washington when consulted
has given his best opinion to the President,
and there is nothing whatever to show that
his recommendations have in any case been
otherwise th-an worthy of acceptance.
The President, with every reason, flouts
the stupid old cry of negro domination. He
knows, as every other intelligent man does,
that the negroes will never dominate any
section of the country, and that to with
hold from the worthy of the race an en
couraging recognition of their advancement
would be to commit an act of shortsight
edness and Injustice. Willing as some re
publicans are to commit that act he refuses.
Xr. Chamberlain ABoat.
Mr. Chamberlain has departed for South I
Africa provided with "al the comforts of t
home." The ship's table, if we may believe I
the reports, will not lack for good things. t
Meat on the hoof. and the finest brands of I
wines in abundant quantity are mentioned t
In the list of supplies. His cabin is most
elegantly fitted up. The jokers as yet have I
not been severe on him, but they may at- I
tend to his case later. For much less, Gen
eral Miles. at the -b, ginning of the Spanish
war. paid a heavy penalty. From Mr.
Dooley down, the wits with us had great e
fun with him. Royalty itself, we are told, t
was never afloat with arrangements for c
personal comfort more complete than those I
made in Mr. Chamberlain's behalf. C
Nevertheless, Mr. Chamberlain Is not a
gourmand or a sybarite, but a hard-work- r
ing man who takes pride in his middle-class
extraction and puts on nothing of what the
English call "side." His mission to South
Africa is of a very practical kind, and when
he lands he will be overwhelmed with busi
ness. Inspecting a waste with a view of
making it blossom again; conferring with
the leaders of people who have been taught t
to regard him as a sort of monster; confer
ring with his own people, who fancy they
know enough to shape his action and will
try to do so-these activities make up a pro- t
gram which does not suggest a downy
couch or an elaborate bill of fare. If he is
to enjoy himself at all therefore during hisr
absence from home it must be while he is
on the way to the cape.
The state In which Mr. Chamberlain tray
els goes of course with his great office. Thet
trip is in every way unusual. It has not
happened before that an English official of
his grade and consequence has set out on a
mission of good will toward a conquered
people, and the purpose in the elaborate
preparations is probably to impress the
stranger and at the same time compliment
him. A special commissioner In shirt sleeves
and living on ham sandwiches would be buta
coldly received even by so plain and primi
tive a people as the Bloers. And let us hopes
that the missIon may be successful, andi
that as th. rasilt of It South Africa under '
the B3ritish flazg may become one of the
most prosperous sections of the British em
pire. , c
There is a bigger fortune awaiting the
man who can perfect a coalless heating 1
system by utilizIng those wasted flames of
Soufr!ere and Pelee for American consump- I
tion sthan is ahead of either Marconi or
Santos-Dtu mont.
It is hoped in the interest of propriety
that the twxt Congress will not be compelled I
to taket' ip the public~ discussion of anotherc
.-m S domeistic aifairs. 1
Philadelphia's Scandal,
N-a wi .rk has no corner on municipal
n5-uk din , as certain court proceedings inc
Philade-lphia clearly disclose, If these- e-ec
cent dev~elopmients are reliable Philadelphi-a I
Is in rnee d of a Lexow inquiry and of the
cons, .1n.nt purging of all ranks of the city
administration. The story is a most un
plea'-nrt on. The German government,
learning that a traffic in human beings for
Immoral1 pur-poses was in progress, with
Germany as a source of supply and certain
Ameriran cities, notab)ly Philadelphia, as
the receivers, made such representations to
this governme-nt and through it to the mu
nicipal auithorities of those cities that they
could not be ignored. In Philadelphia raids
were 'rd-red upon certain conspicuously
disorderly places, and complete proof of the
charges brought by the German govern
ment was adduced. The cases thus brought
to court have not yet been tried. Mean
while, important revelations have resulted,
causing turmoil in official circles in Phila
delphia. in one of the preliminary hearings
a lawyer for the defense, feeling perhaps
that his case was hopeless, sought to carry
down with his clients the police department,
which, he charged, had been at least by
negligence fostering the vile tradfic. His
questions were answered by policemen
. whose beats included the district in ques
tion in a manner to amount to a confession
not only of a corrupt connection between
the estgblishments and the police force, but
of a grosis fraud on the suffrages of thei
people. The details of the accusation are
not yet compaetely stated, but enough has
appeated to indicate that voters were regis
tered from these houses and were allowed
to cast their ballots, despite the fact that
they did not live there, and that the houses
ware weli known to the police as being of a
cbarauter to proclude the possiblty of
being the residences of the imen registered.
rhus. the fraud has romMed. Two police
leutenants have already been dismissed
Irom the force for neglect of duty, despite
:helr hints of possessing proof that they
were Inactive In the premises only by orders
Irom "higher up.' Apart from the matter
)f the illegal registrations, the case reads
mxactly like that of New York In the dark
lays when Dr. Parkhuret was collecting his
tvidence upon which the Lexow- inquiry
was based. It presents the spectacle of
)rothels permitted to flourish without con
,ealment or pretense of respectability under
:he very eyes of the police and In the face
)f statutes condemning them as Illegal; of
rambling houses doing a thriving buiness
n the same open fashion: of dives of the
worst character paying tribute to the police
Luthorities. The German government has
lone more than to take the first step to
ward putting an end to this foul traffic. It
as perhaps opened up a scandal which will
ea too flagrant for Pbriladelphia to tolerate.
[he evil will not be cured by sacrifeing the
mbordinate agents of the police corruption.
rhe need is of an investigator who will not
iesitate to aim at the very top of the whole
rile conspiracy.
Kansas and Popuasm.
The Emporia, Kansas. Gazette, a republi
!an newspaper, approves of the decision of
;enator Harris to be known In future as a
lemocrat, and adds:
"There is not in all the Congressional DI
ectory of the United States the word pop
ilist. This is as it should be. Harris has
)een In the democratic caucus and has
worked with the democrats for five years.
Vhere is nothing opprobrious In the name.
Phe democrats will nominate Gorman or
1lll for the presidency, and the populists
will vote for him. The fdlows who see
iothing good in the republican party will
iot hesitate to line up as democrats. There
will be no people's party name on the offl
.ial ballot next year unless It is put on by
)etition, and If the people's party nomi
iates a candidate for President in 1904 the
lectors In Kansas can't go on the ballot
inless by petition. And this Is the end of
he stirring days of Singin' Jones of Butler,
tnd Dunkin' of Punkin, and Levi Dum
>auld, and the great mob of shirt-tail rang
rs, who rose up and threatened to eat up
Wall street raw without pepper or salt."
The disappearance of the western popu
ists affords, indeed, an interesting theme.
light in ten of them had come out of the
-epublican party, and while they lived they
nade themselves 'heard far and near. They
were very confident that the policies of that
)arty were responsible for the hard condi
Ions to which the farmers were then re
luced. and they held quite as earnestly that
iot until those policies were changed would
orn grow in. abundance again and prices
,o up. They set themselves to work, there
ore, to supplant the republican party with
Ln organization of their own.
They achieved some local successes at the
oolls. They' sent some strong and notable
nen into retirement. Mr. Ingalls was a
Ictim. They introduced some strange men
o the national notice. But they did not In
luence nationl- legislation In the slightest.
Zot a policy they adioc'aed was Indorsed
y Congress.- -They contributed somewhat
o the overthrow of the republicans in 1802,
ut when that party returned to power In
897 the policies to which the populists had
o strenuously objected were put in force
gain, and they have been In force ever
Ince.
Strangest of all to relate, however, Is the
act that under those policies the farmers
ave greatly prospered, and are now among
he most contented men in the land. They
ave lifted their mortgages and established
ank accounts, and the gold standard and
rotection no longer have any terrors for
hem.
But it is a little early to predict, as this
Cansas paper does, what will take place In
904. The friends of either Mr. Gorman or
1111 in the east would be glad to share this
Cansas confidence as to the narrowing
own of the fight for the democratic prest
lential nomination. As they see the situa
Ion, there are other strong men in the
quation, and the platform is not at all
[kely to attract any man who ever advo
ated cheap currency, or insisted that the
'overnment would be well employed lending
aoney on ripe crops or fat cattle.

SHOOTING STARS.
Prudence.
"I suppose you would like to say or do
something that will live in history."
"Well," answered Senator Sorghum, 'there
are so many things concerning which I
should prefer to keep history uninformed
that I guess I'd better not take any chances
on trying to break in."
Changed Circumstances.

My hopes are all a wreck.

Only Diversion.
"I hope you do. not descend to malicious
gossip," said the woman with serious ideals.
"No." answered Miss Cayenne. "No one

It comes as hash, it comes as stew;
It's stay is still deferred.
For days to come no doubt we'll view

The Voice of Experience.
"Do you think that the stage exercises
an elevating Influence?"
"Yes," answered Mr. Stormington Barnes.
"I don't know of anything better than the
classic drama for developing the noble vir
tures of patience and humility."

Plor so fiercely comes the chill
With its bitter, biting thrill;
There is scarcely time to heed

Scarcely time to realise

Strikers Get an Injunction.
From the Baltimore Sun.
There is a very interesting situation at
Vineland, N. J.. where the Glass-Bottle
Blowers' Association, now on strike, has
got out an injunction to.restrain the Jonas
Glass Company of Minetola "from inter
fering with the business of the strikers." 4
The court has granted an order to "show 4
cause," etc., on the complaint of the strik
era that the company has tried to Intiml
date and drive away the labor association
and its offleers when they sought to meet
incoming trains bringing non-union work
men. This is turning the tables. An in
junction Is objectionable when the other
party gets it first, but the devil may be
fought with fire.
No Reason to Wait.
From the New York Times.
There is no reason why the canal under
taking should waIt upon the slow resolution
of the government of Colombia. We can
very quickly find out what is In the Colom
bian mind by announcing that after a given

consideration to the Panama route, but '
shall proceed at once to negotiate the4
necessary treaties with Nicaragua and4
Costa Rica.4
A Cause for Congratulation.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Grateful mention may be made here of
the fact that a few footpads and burglars,
surprised in the act, have gone permanent-4
ly out of the business during the year. 4
The Navy and Shipbuilding.
From the New York Sun. -
As an evidence of the impetus given to
s'hipyards by the growth of the navy, it is
to be noticed that eleven shipbuilding com
panies and firms 'have asked for the plans
and specifications of the armored cruisers
Tennessee and Washington, recently au
thorized by Congress. Several of the firms
have not built any vessels for the navy; but
if the usual large proportion of the firms
that ask for plans shall submit bids, the
choice of the winmer will be more difficult
than hitherto, but it will be certain that
the cruisers will be built properly, and that
if skill can achieve it, they will be s euc
cessful as their designers hope.
Two Phases Presented.
From the New York World.
PresIdent Roosevelt's letter repudiating
the Idea that he "would not appoint repui
table and upright colored men to offiee
when objection was made to them solely
on account of their color" comes pat today
with Booker Washington's reminder to his
own people that they "will make a mistake
if they seek to suoceed In life by mere po
litical activity." Thus are presented two
phases of the problem of color-abstract
justice as seen by a white President of "all
the people;" expedient conduct as judged
by the wisest colored adviser of his own
race.
Xexico's InvitAtion.
From the Mexican Herald (City of Mezico). -
The Washington Star observes that our
proposition that Cuba come -into the Mexi
can union is "coOl." That may be, but all
the same the big, generous and hospitable
Mexican republic is the right place for
Dona Cuba. Here she would feel at home,
and not be annoyed by empire-makers.
Danger in Poiom.
From the Philadelphia Inquker.
It is lamentable that neither repeated
warning nor sad experience seems to have
the desired effect of makring' the ordinary
person oautlous in the use of poisons. In
the last few days three children have did

carelessly left within their reach. One
would suppose that such accidents would

ble, ye6t they are constant1y recurring with
a frequency that demlands flurther warning.
If parents would learn to keep poisons in a
place 'where they could not be reaebed by
others there would be fewer accidents.
