In his speech accepting the readjuster nomi-
nation for governor of Virginia, the other day.
Mr.. Cameron declared that he intended to carry
Africa into the war;" meaning thereby that he
would utilize the colored vote. This was the
first declaration indicating contest on the color
line that was made in the canvass. The read
justers were first in the field. They held their
convention early. for the purpose, apparently,
OF thus being enabled to open the fight, and to
pitch the key of the canvass. Mr.. Cameron's
declaration of his purpose to rely in his fight
upon the colored vote has therefore brought the
race question into the campaign as an ISSUE 1t
Is unfortunate that such question of the past
should be revived at this late day. but the re-
adiuster candidate for governor is responsible
for it,

Surely the burglar who raided the residence
OF Judge Wylie the other evening, and carried
lot OF valuable property therefrom, must be an
amateur, and unacquainted with the rules and
regulations governing his guild. 1t is under
stood that one OF the unwritten laws of the
hSht-foOted and light-fingered profession is that
the premises and possessions of judges and
other officers of justice shall be avoided and left
severely alone. There is nothing like knowing
now 1t is yourself; and the midnight marauders
are shrewd enough to suspect that after a Judge
has been despoiled two or three times he will be
very apt to take the same view of burglary that
Is held by other people, and that under such cir
cumstances he will be quite likely to show
enough human nature to name the maximum
instead of the minimum term of Imprisonment
when burglar is brought before him for SEN
tence. Hence, as suggested above Judge Wy
lies nocturnal visitor must have made mis-
take or he is not member of his profession in
good and regular standing. 1t would doubtless
be good thing for the community, however, if
such mistakes We're made oftener.

Tor having the telegraph wires i'm that city taken
down from the poles and carried underground
draws nearer at hand, those interested in the
matter are becoming curious to see whether the
order will be enforced or not. 1t Is understood
that the companies owning and using the lines
intend to resist the measure by every means in
their pOwer,-irst by specious pleas for delay,
on various pretexts, and afterward by injunc-
lions and legal proceedings of every kind that
will prove servicable. These tactics should not
be allowed to prevail. There is no reason for
not carrying out the proposed reform, save and
except the greed of the telegraph and tele-
phone companies. 1t will cost something more
to carry their wires underground than to string
them In the air. That is all there is of it. The
practicabity of the subterranean system has
long been abundantly demonstrated in the cities
OF England and Europe, where such OBJ
struction of streets and disregard of public and
private rights as are submitted to this country
would not be tolerated for moment; and it
can be adopted here just as well as there And
1t should be adopted, not in Chicago, alone, but
in all the large cities of the Union. That which
was a small thing in the beginning, and granted
as matter of favor, has become a nuisance of
too formidable proportions to be longer allowed,
while its existence is now demanded as right
1t Is time to join issue, and see whether the
people or corporate mOnOpolies are master.
Ii appears that ex-senator COnkling has de-
termined to re-enter politics. He proposes to
make fight for control of the Utica delegation
to the coming state convention. More than
that, he intends to go to the convention as the
boss of that delegation. The ex-Senators
friends are counting great deal upon the state
central committee. That body was made I'D
under the rule put none but COnklngites on
guard" but because a majority were COnkling
men then it does not follow that they still con-
tinue TO be blind adherents of that gentleman
1t must be remembered that he is now training
with the ''outs," and that makes great differ
ence in politics. The very legislature that de-
feated and retired him was when first organ
lied, composed overwhelmingly of Mr.. Conk-
hngs friends, but when his political fortunes
began to wane his supposed supporters left him.
The members of the state central committee
may do likewise Politicians are generally quick
TO discover the losing side of question But
should Mr.. Conkling be able to manipulate the
state central committee as at present cOnstitu-
ted even that need not give the party any trou-
ble 1t will be entirely competent for the con-
ventlOn TO create a new central committee. and
this it viii very likely do if an excuse there
for arises 1t is not within the bounds of prob
ability that the convention will be friendly to
Conkling- The sentiment of the republican
party of New York as recently manifested was
pretty generally the other way.
