The colored Democratic state committee
that met at Nashville. Tenn, the other day
must have had high sense of gratitude
and decency when they declared that 1.-The
thing which will do negroes of the South
and North more good than anything else
Is the division of the negro vote" They
seem to forget that on the question of set
ting them free there was no division OF the
Republican or Democratic vote; the Re-
publicans were all for and the Democrats
all against it. And on the question OF CIV
ing them vote TO cast il was the same
way. Perhaps, from a selfish point of
view. IL would have been better for the Re-
publicans In some sections to have divided
their votes on one or the other OF those
questions. But live or die, win or lose.
they stood up for freeing the negroes and
giving them the ballot. And now, as a
purely selfish proposition, these fellows adj
wise their people 10 divide their votes be-
tween those who freed them and they who
fought that measure; between those who
gave and those who opposed giving them
the right 10 vote. Shame on them!

Justify the belief that they are anxious for

are pleind,eed in favor OF the Seventh

viii abandon al intention OF building on it
IL they are convinced that Il viii be for the
public good % do 80. And a few mo-
ments' consideration Of the university pro-
iect should convince them that the right
site for the county buildings has at last
been hit upon and that ii Is not on Seventh
street.
Another possible objection is that the
erection OF the county buildings would be
delayed By so sweeping change Of plans
at this late day. This objection, like that
which is spoken OF before. is scarcely
worthy Of consideration. The winter IS
almost upon Us. and IL Is safe TO say tina, no
material work viii be done on the county
buildings until spring. In the meantime
all arrangements for the transfer from the
university could be completed. and work
could be begun IN earnest on the uniyer-
slty site practically as soon as on the Sew
enth street site. There would not be one
weeks actual delay because Of the change.
II Is to he hoped that this opportunity
10 confer permanent benefit upon Seattle
and upon King county will not be allowed
to pass uu!nproved. The university site
is fitted as no other site is fitted for the pur-
poSC Ak view. N inc fiEnS steps
are taken now. Seattle will soon
be proud Of the magnifcence and
OF the convenient arrangement of its
public buildings. Neglect to improve this
opportunity viii give posterity cause to
reproaeh the present generation of citizens
of Seattle. which will grow in proportion
to the growth OF the city. Such neglect
would be an objectionable mistake-a
blunder too gross to b. justified.

IL will be interesting TO note how the
mugwamp papers will treat Secretary Win
dom's latest ruling on the admission OF
srgentiferous galena from Mexico into the
United States. When he announced q
temporary ruling that ores principally lead
in bulk and weight, but having a higher
value in silver, were 10 pay duties as lead
ore, these mugwumps made an outcry, in
tended TO prejudice the Mexican delegates
to the Pan-Ameriean congress, that our
government had made a new departure
OF discrimination against product OF
their country. Now that the secretary,
after more mature elaboration. has reversed
a decision which he. at the time of making
il, announced to be only temporary, what
will the mugwumps say? Will they take
back their structures, Or will they reverse
their position also?
In making his later ruling the secretary
only does so as a conformance with pre-
vioas practices which congress by failing to
act practically ndorsed, and therefore ne
thinks that q reversal of it should only re-
suit from congressional action. The old
ruling with which his later one conforms,
is plainly detrimental to the lead industry
OF this country. and tits pretty certain that
congress will at an early day correct it.
The present practice has the effect of max
ing little silver smuggle good deal of
dutiable lead into the country free.

The committee Of the council to which
the subject of granting license to the
postoffice saloon has been referred should
consider the subject well before making a
report.
That arguments in great number, argu-
ments not to be lightly brushed
aside, can be urged against the grant
ing az the license is not to
be denied. That very large proportion.
probably great majority. OF the citizens
of Seattle are decidedly opposed to it is
equally certain. These considerations
should have some weight with the COM
mittee and with the council.
That license should not be granted, and
the committee should say so in language
not to be misunderstood.

That was quite conception of Senator
Sherman's, when addressing the visiting
delegates of the Pan American congress at
Cleveland the other day, that in the future
he saw one grand language, merging into
itself the Spanish, Portuguese and English
languages, and spoken by three hundred
millions of people on two hemispheres,
but his estimate of population was very
low, for the time is BY no means remote
when the Pan American nations alone
will exceed his highest figures.

Calcasieu parish is wrestling with
the pnbllc road question. Every
body is willing TO ADM: that good
roads arc q prime necessity to the
welfare OF a community. nut a great
many of these same fellows want to
have fine roads land off and main
tanned in some mysterious manner
without any labor or expense on
their part. The present law in
Louisiana is not perfection we admit
but the trouble does not lie III the
law but rather ID the people who op-
pose it or anything else practicable.
There are q large class IN every
community who own no property
and enjoy all the benefits Of law, Or
der. society. good roads. schools etc.
1t is only just and proper that they
should assis, in bearing a share OF
the public burdens. Don't saddle
everything off on the taxpayer. IN
a late issue Of the Lake Charles
.AnsericGa, Mr.. Kassoa Freeman has
an article on the road question
| which while excellent in the main, Is
calculated 10 damage the canse he
advocates by making such lame, i'm
potent objections as the following /:
The new read law 10 my humble
opinion can never be enforced. It
has been repeatedly decided by the
higher courts that you car not ooilge
a mar to work without pay, and to
suppose you can appoint or elect d
man to Eli an Office without lis con
sent, and to make hin qualify, would
seem to me anything bat American"
Come over to Vernilion and we
will show you that the law not only
can but is enforced, and the highest
court in this State has declared that
the law is correct. The law is good
enough if you will only give it your
support and try to see it enforced.
Give it a fair trial and you will
have a better opinion of it.
