THE Chicago Iuter Ocean has its own
idea of the causes and effect of the dis
turbance in the South and doesn't
hesitate to state what it Is:
tits regular that few weeks before an
election in Louisiana, Texas or MIssis-
sippl there should be IAN outrage or II
riot, in which, by first account, the ne
groes are the aggressors. They never
are arrested ,as law-breakers in Northern
States; they are just shot to death or vio-
lently dispersed by bands Of white men
and as a sequence few negroes are pre-
sent at the polling places on election
dav, and the few who appear
and vote are counted, for the most part,
as Democrats Still, 1. the Southern
press always assures us that the "Out.
rage" or "rlot" was without political
significance. And as To the subsequent
absence of negroes from the polls II
says nothing, unless subjected to ques.
tioning, and then attributes it to apathy
But II certain number of negroes ALWAYS
are killed or wounded bvw hiles bent on
the repression of "outrages" or riots Il
few weeks before apathy is manifested
by the colored voters. Whether apathy
would ensue if the negroes charged with
crime were arrested and given iall
trial is not known; the experiment new
er has been tried.

WHAT appears to he a preconcerted
assault has been begun against Gov.
Merriam by sundry Republican and So
called independent sheets. Last Satur-
day the st. Paul Ne,rs republshed the
speech made by Charlie Gilman just
prior to the election last fall, and in
Mondays issue of the Duluth Tribune
an "interview" with that noble patriot,
.syour uncle Loren" Fletcher is given.
The sum and substance of what is said
by these gentlemen is revamp OF the
old campaign lies of last fall with which
it was then hoped to defeat the Cover
nor. 1t is not easy to understand how
those who are concerned in the fight
now commenced expect To make these
"chestnuts" work any better next year
than last. The people were amused
last fall and are now TO hear such fell
lows as Gilman and Fletcher crying for
honesty in politics.
But of course the boys can make II
very interesting for His Excellencv,
and they are commencing early enough
10 have plenty of time for the job. The
only drawback we can see to the united
arrangement which seems to have been
made by the disgruntled ones Is to de
eide who shall be the beneficiary. vii
it he McGlli or Schetier, or Gilman, or d
dark horse? 1t will be easy to pre-ar'
range the downfall of VIM. r., but un
less the division of spois is also settled
beforehand there IS liable 10 he falling
out at the critical moment which will al
