who tendered us the use of his office
is how vc came fo publish this
edition.

There baa been ho in hi in tbe south
wbo has (ouht PreaMent Roosevelt
more bitterly on the negro question
than the present governor "of this state,
.Now, however, when the president
showing Doth bv action muH speech
thst he has been Inisatlderstooo on
tin's momentous Question, and
that instead of Being ag.iinst
tile south lie is for it, and when those
who have been prone to criticise ire
now commending him, where do ve
find our Governor? When asked t ex
press an opinion in St. Louis on Presi
dent Roosevelt! latest speech which
was really favorable to our section. In
answered. "I hive nothing to say." A
man quick to condemn should also be
qu4ck to cnnmiend.
After more than three weeks spent in
the co naif ft. ration of the cast of Jttdge
Swayne the senate has decided he is
not guilty. Judjra Swayne it is I ud Ins
not been nervous about the result from
the beginning and he doubtless feels
BOW that the senate is indebted to him
Id having acted as the loulder ofl the
track to prevent legislation on other
and more emb irassing subjects.
Sir Wiltred Laurier Mye lie wouhl
not be a citizen ot the T'nited St fttC
even to be presirlenl. We uess not,
when the Governor General of Canada
gets a salary just twice as great as that
of our president.
