FRIDAY. JUNE ga. 1899.


The president attempted, last Monday, to
make journey to West Point without con-
sulting the gossips and guild nuncS-intendng
to escape all lionizing, if possible. Consider
ing how many eyes are constantly upon him,
and how easily he could be recognized by any
one who had once seen him, he was tolerably
successful-arriving at West Point in the first
blush of the morning, and sending to the cap
itol by telegraph the first news of his absence.
His return to Washington the next day was
equally unpretending aud democratic, except
in the rapidity with which he travelled. Some
OF the reporters, however, managed Mt the
last moment to get upon his track and are
now furnishing the sensation papers with
graphic and particular accounts of his jour
ney from the time he left Washington till his
return. They have found out what he said to
"William," the only person who accompanied
him from Washington; his conversation
with General Scott in the parlor of Mr..
Cozzen's hotel; the stories he told to the
people who curiously crowded to see
him the gallant remarks he made to
the wives of the generals who met him at
the academy; the number of hours he and
Gen. Scott slept at the hotel; and a great
many other things equally enthusiastic and
reliable. One of them, with an air of sublime
wisdom, says MIR. Lincoln, in converse
ton with one reporter, declared there was
nothing alarming going on, and Gen. Scott
was equally unreserved in his conversation"
Another sets out with the same modest as
sumption to explain ''the simple truth of the
/ entire matter" and with about equal success,
while still others have discovered that impor-
; tant state secrets are hidden under this mys-
FERROUS adventure, which they modestly pro-
coed to reveal. The president, compelled to
j say something at Jersey City by the crowd who
had gathered there, called his mother wit to his
aid, and made the speech of a statesman, l. e.
pleasing the multitude without satisfying their
curiosity. The truth, when it is told will I'M
doubleday show that the president was en-
gagged in the discharge of duties which did not
require publicity, and with which the public
had no immediate concern. If he chose to
visit General Scott or any other person, with
out being exposed to a public ovation, it was
unquestionably right that he should do so.
And it will no doubt appear when the novelty
is over, that ''this visit did not have the i'm
portance which has been attached to it,"

The Providence Post claims the adoption of
the black clauses OF the new Illinois constitu-
ton as signal democratic victory. The prop
ositions are as follows =
'''No negro or mulatto shall migrate to or
settle in this state (Illinois) after the adoption
of this constitution.
No negro or mulatto shall have the right of
suffrage, or hold any Office in this state. The
general assembly shall pass all laws necessary
to carry into effect the provisions of this ar
tcle."
There isn't traitor in the land who doesn't
rejoice over all such ''yictories" in the free
states. They are natural branches of the sys-
TEN of caste and oppression which has been
waging war upon the government for the last
year and half.

The HsssianS,

Some of the foreign soldiers at Roanoke
Island, who could hardly speak English, in
formed some Confederate prisoners that they
were fighting for the principles of their fore,
fathers This is the literal truth. The princi.
pies Of their forefathers, who were bought up
by George tho Third like cattle in the market,
were ninepence day and their bread and
meat. This is about the same sum that Lin.
coin pays for their defendants, and consti.
tutes the only principles that either ancestors
or posterity are capable of comprehending.
