the race question. The negro element
is trifiing in our population, and it can
by no possibility acquire any special
influence in the government OF us. In
the South, at least in some States, the
white population stands in danger of
being dominated by the black, by
sheer force Of numbers.
Theoretically, OF course, the major
ity rules. without distinction of race,
color, or previous condition OF seryi-
tude. but we do not seem to think
that it would be pleasant TO US, or
advantageous TO the country that h
colored element, say in New Jersey,
by sheer procreativeness should as
sumo control OF us and our affairs
should rule us and represent us as It's
ignorance might dictate.
We have not observed that Republi-
cans themselves specially like this
sort OF thing. In fact the South ac-
cuses them with great show OF jus
tice. of repressing the negro with cold
disdain, wholly foreign % the patri-
archal spirit of the sometime Con-
federate States. The race problem is
one OF exceeding difficulty. 1t is evil
dent on the one hand that the limita-
ton of the constitutional rights Of
the coiored citizen is a hopeless
proposition, while on the other hand
it will appear an outrageous anomaly
to all sensible people that in his
present condition Of undeveloped
mentality he should become the rul-
ing factor in a state possessing hun
dreds OF thousands OF white citizens.
among the most enlightened and high
spirited of the human race.
The Republican Press may rave,
but at least sympathetic considera-
ton Of the situation will result from
Mr.. Grady's outspoken definition
of it.

The Race Problem in the South


The New York Press. a petty Re-
publican print of the warpish kind, is
in a fearful state of mind because
Henry w. Grady, at the Merchants
Annual Dinner in Boston, declared
that the South would not consent to
be governed by negroes. 1t may be
that Mr.. Grady's way of putting the
cas- is somewhat more rhetorical than
reasonable; but it may perhaps bring
the editor of the Press to his senses to
ask him whether he would like to see
the negro element obtain in a North
ern State the same ascendaney with
which the Republican party desires
to endow it in the South.
In the Northern States it is easy for
us all to take a philosophical view OF

A BANDITS COURTESY.
HE LOSES HIS LIBERTY no SAVE
Il WOMAN.

A Story Which Shows that Total De-
pravity Is Not So Common as One
Might Th~fnk-Prettv Chinese Girls.
How strangely the good and bad inter-
mingle in the breast of man is strikingly
shown by the train of circumstances at
tending the %recapture of Smith, the train
robber, who is now awaiting trial in the
county jail. In March last he, in company
with three others, robbed the eastern
bound Atlantic and Pacific express ut
Canyon Diablo, and a month afterward,
after one of the longest chases on record,
the party was captured by Sheriff O'Neil
and posse in Utah. While on the return
trip to Arizona Smith effected his escape
by jumping from a car window on the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe while the
train was rapidly descending the Ration
Mountains in New Mexico.
He at once struck out for Texas, taking
horses wherever the opportunity present
ed and riding them as long as they were
able to carry him. On the afternoon of
the ninth day, while in the Panhandle,
near Vernon. Smith discovered q oma
aimlessly wandering over the prairie, and
recognizing the fact that she must be lost
or in trouble, he rode up II accosted
her. She informed him hat she had been
lost two days, during which time she had
gone without food. Knowing that in her
emaciated condition she could not posi-
bly, survive much longer without assist
ance, Smith, the escaped train Fobber,
fleeing though he was to escape trial for
crime the penalty of which was death,
and still carrying on each leg his broken
shackles, bethought him of a windmill
he had passed some eight miles back, and
putting the woman on his horse, conduct
ed her TO it.
ITa Iafr how o,nJ ,.iIi,,r a1o,,r fla xryfra
fence that enclosed the windmill for five
or six miles, until he discovered the CAMP
of the men employed to keep it in repair,
he informed them of the woman's condi-
ton. They at once saddled, and, although
the night was nearly gone, started at once
for the windmill, and found the Il
a young chool teacher-weak, but still
alive, and at once brought her to a place
where she was cared for. AT daybreak
the Shelf and posse in pursuit. of Smith
met the anne men, and, fnding from their
account and description in which direc-
ton the fugitive had zone, pursued him.
Before high noon they had overtaken
him. and Smith, the train robber, who,
less than twenty-four hours before, had
turned from his way to succor an unfor-
tunate woman, was shot from his saddle
while resisting an arrest which he might
have prevented by avoiding the delay and
observation so detailed. The story is
good enough to lave a moral, but doubt
less Smith, who is now in the county jail
awaiting trial for his life on account of
it, fails to discover it.-Prescott (ATE.)

Jacky lynch.

.Jacky' Lynch has got SO accus-
toned to violate the law that he
thinks he is merely exercising his
rights as a citizen in doing so. Thus
when the police raid his place, he
meets them with forcible resistance as
if he were repelling an unlawful ag-
erosion, and when he has to succumb
to.superior strength he casts around;
to find some explanation of his case
as one whose views and theories of life
were rudely shattered and destroyed
by the ruthless hand of injustice.
He cannot realize that his arrest is
the result of breaking the law. 1t is
true he keeps his bar open on the Sab
he makes his dance hall a meeting
place for dissolute men and women
or worse, for dissolute men and foolish
girls. But these things are OF no con
sequence in his mind. He cannot re-
alize that they carry a penalty with
them. He must seek further for an
explanation of the evil hat has over
taken him.
And a precious explanation he
evolves. Polit les, he cries, politics
are the cause of my suffering. | am a
martyr to the cause of political treach-
cry. How absurd is this. The fellow
has been ~outraging good order and
corrupting the morals of men and
women all his life, and now that
retribution oyertakes him he must
pose as a political martyr. No, no,
Jacky it won't do. You are in the
tolls at last, and no vain pleas of this
sort will excite the public commiser-
alton.
The only wonder is that Chief Muir
ply did not close this vile place long
ago. Ii was fully exposed in THE

notorious in the neighborhood it dis
graced. But we presume the Chief
desired to have a clear case and was
collecting evidence. Sometimes it
takes the police a long time to move,
but, we observe, they generally get
there all the same.

Faust up to Date"
The reception accorded to the London
Gaiety Theatre Company on the produc-
ton of the burlesque entitled Faust up
to Date" at the handsome Broadway
evening, indicates a successful engage
ment. In ensemble this company is dis
tinctIy handsomer than the one which
was in this country last season, and
Faust up to Date is a much better bur-
lesque than either "Esmeralda" or
Monte Christie, Jr." The piece is adj
mirably put on the stage. and the
choruses, dances and tableaux are all
we'll managed. The production, as a
whole, takes high rank. Costumes so
beautiful, colorS so eXquisitely blended
are seldom seen on this side of the At
lantic.
Miss Grace Pedley, a remarkably pretty
woman, who PLAYS the part of Margaret,
spoke the lines of her part in a most fas-
cinating and delightful manner She
possesses a sweet voice of considerable
range. Mr.. Z. J. Lonnen (Mephisto-
pheles), is a we'll known and popular
comedian on the other side, and, Judging
from his performance OF the other even
ing, is quite likely to make a lasting I'M
preston on Americans. He danced ex-
ceedingly well and rendered his lines

Marie Hubert Froman.

Marie Hubert Frohman's engagement
at the Academy of Music opens tonight.
There is unusual curiosity to see this
young actress, because she is represented
as possessing a remarkable originality, as
well as a careful artistic training. Her
manager says that she is a genius, and he
has apparently good grounds for this
statement-which is not always the case
with managers laudatory u%tterances.
Mrs. Frohman will be supported by an
exceptionally strong and we'll selected
company. An attractive double bill will
be presented. 1t includes the brilliant
comedy ''False Charms and the beauti-
full poetic idyll king Rene's Daughter"
Appropriate scenery, handsome costumes
aud good music will enhance the beauty
of the entertainment. The performance
is under the personal supervision of Mr..
Gustave Frohmau.
