COL0RED MEN ON FORAKER.

W. h. Dickson, Of this city, has
addressed letters to representative colored
men in the state, putting the question to
them whether Foraker would be their pref
erence for governor. He has received
replies from Rev. James Poindexter,
Walter 8. Thomas, Robert Harlan, c. L.
Maxwell, and ". d. Parham. These re-
plies he submits to rs for publication.
We have not room in our columns for the
letters in full, but We give the substance
Of them, As follows:
Rev. Jas. Poindexter, Columbus.
"Ny feelings toward Judge Foraker are
good, and my confidence in his Republican
| ism is unshaken. His explanation to me of
| his conduct As attorney for -, in the
school case. was satisfactory when he was
nominated for governor two years ago, and
therefore gave him . vigorous support; and,
| if he be put in nomination by the next Re-
publican state convention, I shall as Wig
orously support him this year"
| "In answer to your question, will the
colored people support him ? l have
to say there are causes at
work disintegrating tho colored vote, chief
among which is the fact that, although the
Republican party has been in possession of
| all the branches Of the general government,
legislative, exesutive, and judicial, for TWEEN
| ty-hve continuous years. it has not been able
| to protect the rights of the colored people OF
the South or purge the statutes Of the north
ern states of laws making distinctions on
account of color"

from Foraker is that the Democratic party

persuasion, will use them to draw the coloret
vote. Yet he is confident that this detection

THE Chicago Inter Ocean saws:

cit matters not to the just demands of the
case who favors or who opposes the mainte-
nance of equal and honest suffrage at the South.
The duty is plain, and what is more, the de-
mand will have to be complied with. 1t may
take several years to rectify the wrong, but
no one who recalls the history of the country
can doubt the final vindicaton Of the right
which is the foundation of republican govern
ment. If the great party, which by its ante,
cedents and character ought to win this last
battle of the war which began with the first
organized movement against slavery, should
fail in its duty, then it would have to give
place to a new party, as did the Wing party
when it proved recreant to duty. Happily
there are indications of a renewed conservation
of the party to the great principle Of justice
on which its splendid record rests"

On the way from Washington to Chicago
Postmaster-general Villas made his way into
the mail-car without letting the clerks know
who he was. He was pleased with the bust
nesslike manner in which the arduous work
of sorting the heavy mails was carried on, and
he thinks that the railway mail service is
properly conducted. It has been properly
conducted for years, and has been model for
the world. There are no more efficient and
faithful men in the public service than the
railway mail clerks. The only troubles with it
have arisen from the new and green, and dis
reputable men put into it by the ''reform"

THE CHINESE MASSACRE.

The slaughter of Chinese miners at Rock
Spring, W. T., was one of the most unpro-
voked and bloody massacres which has ever
occurred within the jurisdiction of the United
States government but there is observable
a curious indifference in regard to the shock
ing affair on the part of both public and press.
Already Southern papers are taunting those
of the North with displaying an apathy in wide
contrast to the outburst of feeling which
might have been expected had the
victims been negroes and the scene in Mis-
sissippi. While the contrast attempted to be
drawn is between cases by no means parallel,
there is, perhaps, grain of truth in the &C
cusation. Had the murdered men-the latest
account says there were ''only fiftv"-had
these men been negroes, whom it is polite to
treat kindly, had they been Irishmen, or Ger
mans, or Englishmen, behind each of which
race looms up powerful government likely
unreasonable to suspect that the indignation
exhibited by Americans would be much
greater. or at least more volubleY Again:
is it unlikely that Difference to immigrants of
the races mentioned, born of regarding
them as political factors, may have had its in
fuence towards lenient view of the crime
committed at Rock Springsf Expressions OF
horror and indignation are not lacking, OF
course, but there is a feebleness about many
of them which there is some reason for sup.
posing would have been changed to fury had
later reports disclosed the fact that the Chi
nese had slain the white miners instead OF
having been slaughtered by them. Another

New YORK gossip has it that Miss Cleve-
land was invited by Mrs. Whitney, the wife
of the wealthy Secretary Of the Navy, to
spend October with her in New York. The
intention was to give series of elaborate din
ners and receptions to the Presidents sister,
and make ''social lioness" of her, as the re-
porter puts it, in the Astor and Vanderbilt
circles. Miss Cleveland has frustrated this
dark design by declining the invitation, and
much praise is being bestowed upon her
by the Jenkinses for what they
are pleased to regard as Spar
tan exhibition of virtue and simplicity.
In spite of the jenkins view, it may be said
that Miss Cleveland's right to commentator
for not accepting the invitation depends en-
tirely upon the motive which led her to de-
cline. There is no good reason why the lady
should not, if it pleased her, profit by every
privilege which her position gives; one of
these is admission to an exclusive, if some
what snobbish, circle, an entrance to which
might naturally be desired by one wishing to
see all sides of life. If the Presidents sister
declines to be lionized by the so-called aristo-
Gratis Of New York because, as is init
mated, she wishes to preserve q demo
cratic simplicity and plainness of life, in
consonance with her brothers boosted policy,
she is doing very absurd thing. If, on the
contrary, and what is far more probable, she
simply has distaste for fashionable society
and prefers not to be drawn into it, she de-
serves credit for preserving her own in
dividuality and freedom under what it seems
probable may be embarrassing circumstances.
And in any case, it is none of the business of
the public, though that insatiate monster will
insist upon making it SUCH

ASSISTANT SECRETARY Cook, of the Trea

ASSISTANT SECRETARY Coos, of the Treas
ury, says Of the latest decision of Treasurer
Jordan:
"Treasurer Jordan's decision will, of course,
affect per cent. of the debt which we are
obliged to lay aside by law. This year it will
be about $4,000, 900. According to the Re-
publican scheme the entire debt would be ex-
tinsuished in 1906 unless additional liabili-
ties are incurred. The decision will postpone
the entire payment of the debt beyond that
time. You can also say that there have been
no bond calls by this administration, and
there will be none, unless Congress grants
some relief for the silver craze. OF course, I
do not know how much of the national debt
will be paid during President Cleveland's ad-
ministration III der the present arrangements
The record of the last administration, how
