have attained the highest rank in
their respective spheres of work
without attracting attention or be-
coming widely known outside the
small circle in which this work has
been done.
Then it must be remembered too
that the last quarter of a century
has been distinctively a period in
which noise and hustle and the re-
sulting notoriety have played larger
parts than in any other era of our
history. Wealth has come with
comparative ease and great rapidity
and has not only been a successful
medium for securing entrance into
politics, but has enabled those un-
successful in this venture to live at
a rate unknown in the more provin-
cial times. To quiet and unassum-
ing men this continued struggle for
place in the worlds eye has not
been pleasant, as in spite of their
business or professional success they
have found little attraction in the
hurly-burly. Now that less preten-
tious manners are promised many
men of this type will come out of
their long retirement and will find
public position of dignity and re-
sponsibility gratifying to their tas-
ties. That they will do good service
to the country does not admit of a
doubt.

The New York Herald thinks
that a war between Russia and Eng
land will make iustifable the call of
an extra session of congress. Says
the Herald, after reviewing various
expressions of opinion by leading
American newspapers; But what
ever the interests of the people of
the United States in this war may
be and whatever their spmpathies
may become, still more important
will become their duties. And the
first duty of all is neutrality neu-
trality from which neither popular
sympathy nor mercantile selfishness
should swerve our government a
hairs breadth. Indeed, it is only by
this neutrality that self-interest can
be served, as for its establishment
and preservation, as we'll as for leg
islation to enable our people to take
fair advantage of the opportunity
of profit, we deem the duty of Pres
ident Cleveland instantly upon a
declaration of war between Great
Britain and Russia to summon con-
gress to an extra session.

THE REST MEN.

Ae+AACAltCoDCC L III ANAfbAL
The people are moving in the mat
ter of nominating delegates to the
constitutional convention The dem
ocrats of quite number of the
counties have taken action, and the
selections made are very satisfacto-
ry. They indicate for the body Of
the convention a high average of in
telligence, probity and legislative
experience. They already include
men of the best standing for legal
ability and business capacity, and
that most other counties will send
their peers, selected from the chest
men," cannot be doubted. *
The welfare of the negro is inextri-
cably involved with that of the
white man, and it is as much to the
interest of one as the other that the
best men should be delegated to
care for the best interests of all.
For more than eight years the state
has been under democratic rule, and
the negro cannot deny that his
rights of citizenship have been fully
accorded, his educational privileges
increased, his taxes decreased, and
that he has shared in the general
prosperity consequent on good gov
eminent to the extent that he chose
to avail himself of the opportunities
of employment afforded to black
and white alike. He cannot expect
to ever rule this country, and if he
is wise he will cultivate the kind
feeling of those who always will
rule it. 1t is easier for him to swim
with the current than to struggle
against it, for in the one way he will
float safely along and in the other
he will wear himself out and $50
under"
In this connection we republish
the following expression of the
views of Mr. w. F. Thompson, a
colored man of Tallahassee:
= = Now l would like you
to give or suggest to our people
some plan or method of better secur-
ing and retaining the support of lib
eral white men for the education of
our race and perpetuating our rep
resentation in the state government.
Already the indications are that a
strict partisan policy is not to be
followed either in our state or ma
| tional governments. In order then
to keep alive the good will and
kindly feeling now cherished by
many prominent white men for US,
do you not think it would operate
we'll to advise our people-not as a
party, but as a people, now citizens
of this state and republic,yet still fol
the most part without homes, edu-
cation or property of any kind-to
cooperate with the whites regard.

gress to an extra session.

The Philadelphia Times says
President Cleveland very wisely
concludes that to the legislature of
Illinois is entrusted the duty of ell
Getting a United States senator to
succeed John y. Logan and that if
that body proves incompetent to
perform the duty it is no part of his
business to interfere. 1t has been
often charged that former admlnis-
trations interfered directly or indi-
rectly to secure the return of parti-
san fayorites to the upper house of
congress. If the. charge is true it
certainly is custom that would be
more honored in the breach than in
the observance, and President Cleve-
land is not a moment too soon in de-
claring that electing senators is no
part of his duty. 1t is time that
matters of this kind were left en-
tirely to the authorities legally
charged with the duty, leaving the
executive at Washington at liberty
to perform his own work and no
other. There is enough to keep the
most industrious man busy in the
performance Of duties that have not
the remotest reference to the cleo
lion of senators.

NEW MEN IN OUR NEW POLITICS.

NEW MEN IN OUR NEW POLITICS.
1t ought not to be surprising in
any way that President Cleveland
has nominated for important places
some men whose names were not
familiar to the country. This is not
only desirable but absolutely neces-
sary if the best men are to be pre-
ferred. For a quarter of century,
says the Philadelphia Times, the
really strong men in the democratic
party have been shut out from Fed
eral politics, the senatorial and rep
resentative positions open to them
being too few to afford an outlet for
all the talent and high character
which might otherwise have sought
this channel for its energies.
This has not been a misfortune
for the men themselves nor for the
party, now that it has finally return
ed topower. Strong men with DEM
ocratic convictions have been COM
PEELED to make their way in the pro-
fessions and in business, where their
energies have been rewarded with
the success which must follow an
undivided devotion to these callings.
As result, while many strong men
in the majority party have followed
politics and their various vocations
with divided allegiance, men like
Minister Phelps, DR.. Wharton and
Others, who have and must come to
the front under the new regime,
