Causes of Race Disturbances.

The MORNING News has frequently stated
that two Of the chief causes of race disturb
ances in the south are the resistance of
colored people to arrest and the encourage
ment of the colored people by demagogues
north and south to commit deeds OF VIC
lence
The recent Jesup riot was a case in point.
1t was due to both causes. Primarily a
white man, who is a republican, and who no
doubt had mapped out for himself politi
cal future, gave tine colored people, it is
alleged, bad advice. He told them, it is
believed, that they were being deprived Of
their rights, and that they ought to assert
themselves" Such talk put them in bad
humor with the whites, and when party
of men started out to arrest the negro
Brewer on the day of the riot, Brewer not
only resisted arrest but deliberately killed
the assistant marshal and another man.
1t is significant that very few, if any,
race disturbances occurred in the south dur
ing the Cleveland administration. Repub-
hcans may say that this was because the col
ored people were frightened into submission,
but they say also that the disturbances
during the last ten months were due to
efforts to accomplish the same purpose.
Why should the colored people be less sub
missive now to this alleged treatment than
they were during the four years of demo-
cratic rule! The fact is that such state
ment is far from the truth. During the
Cleveland administration, designing repub-
lican politicians in the south kept
quiet. They had nothing to gain
by instigating race disturbances in which
they might represent themselves as the
supporters of the colored mans rights, but
they again took up their INSCRIPTIONS
work when the republicans came into power,
and the result was that peace and good will
gave way to a considerable extent to i'll
feeling, followed by what the republican
press is pleased to term trace wars" If the
Republican party would gag its emissaries
in the south, it would hear great deal less
about trace wars"

The Presidents Defender.

/ One OF the most active c .ampions and
defenders Of President Harrison is Senator
1 Chandler The fact is tie more noticeable be-
cause there are 50 few who say good word
/ for the President At heart Senator
| Chandler may not admire him personally,
/ bat if he doesn't, he keeps that to himself.
( He frequently speaks of him quite fiatter-
/ ingly, and now and then he writes an arti-
Gle or submits to an interview,
in which he puts him in the best
pos .ible light His most recent
effort in this direction was letter 20 New
/ Hampshire newspaper. setting forth that
tae President had done all That he consist
emily could, ia view OF his convictions con-
corning aud his pledge to uphold civil serv-
ice reform, 70 fill the offices with
republicans. 1t appears that New Hamp-
shire republicans were becoming dissatisfied
on account Of delay ia turning number Of
democrats out Of Office in that state. SEN
ator Chandler told them to be patient. He
thought they should forget their disappoint-
ments and overlook any mistakes the Presi-
dent might make, and present a united
front FOR the next national campaign.
1t hardly speaks well for the President
that about his most active defender is
Senator Chandler, who has the reputation
Of adopting any means to gain his end in
politics, who has never done anything
in the line of craftsmanship, and whose
hobby is the bloody shirt. Is there bond
of sympathy between theml Does the
President indorse Chambers political
course, and his erratic and malignant public
utterances, and does Chandler feel drawn
to the President because their political
sentiments are in accordl The most natural
thing for clean and patriotic administra-
tion to do would be to give the cold shoulder
to such men as Chandler, but the senator,
and Messrs. Quay, Wanamaker, and Ma
hone seem to be the ruling spirits of this
administration. The President has not
been fortunate in the selection of his close
political friends.

The Contest for the Fair.

The representatives Of New York and
Chicago were given hearing Saturday by
the special COMMITTEES of the Senate which
has charge of the question of q site for the
1892 fair, and they said about ali there is to
be SAID in behalf Of their respective cities.
The representatives Of st. Louis and
Washington were heard a day or
two ago. Washington did not make much
of showing, as she does not propose TO
spend a dollar to assist the fair. She ex-
poets the COVER ment TO furnish the money.
Her chief desire IS to reap tue benefits of the
fair. st. Louis depends upon circles for sue
cass. Her representatives presented to the
committee maps in which She is made to
appear & be the center of the wealth aud
population of the country. They did not
t9ll the committee however, that her
water supply is drawn from the Mississippi,
and that it Is Sd loaded with mud that
people would rather miss the fair than
drink st. Louis water
ChIcago's representatives presented her
case strongly, and it Is evident that Chicago
does not intend spare any effort to get the
fair. Her people have pluck, energy, and
public spirit, and these things will have a
great influence with congress New York,
however, is the city in which the fair ought
TO be held, and those who want the fair to be
a success, financially and otherwise,
realize that it is. She has the wealth
to make it what it ought
to be, and her situation on the seaboard
would be an inducement to foreign coun-
tries 10 send exhibits and to foreigners to
visit it, All the arguments that can be
made- for Chicago can be made for New
York, and, besides, there are reasons why
New York should be chosen that do not
exist in the case of any other city. Con-
gress will make a mistake if it does not
choose New York.

Case Against Mr.. Powderlv.

1t is very likely that Grand Master
Workman Powdely, of the Knights of
Labor, will ultimately be arrested at the
instance of Mr.. Edward Callaghau, of
Scottsdale, Pa, on the charge of conspiracy.
Our dispatches stated a few days ago that
another warrant for his arrest, this time a
properly drawn one, had been received in
Scranton, but that the constable into whose
hands it was placed delayed making the
arrest because Mr.. Powierly was ill. At
this juncture Mr.. Powderly's statement of
the case against him will be interesting.
He made such a statement two or three
weeks ago, from which it appears
that the commencement of the trouble
dates back to his appointment in the spring
of 1887 Of a committee to watch legislation
in the interest of workingmen as it came
before the Pennsylvania legislature. A few
weeks later Mr.. Callaghan complained to
him by letter that the committee was not
properly attending to its business, and said
that influential KING is did not want the
committees report published. Mr.. Powderly
requested him, under the seal of the grand
master workman. to furnish him with the
names of these Influential knights, but Mr.
Callaghan indignantly refused to do so, and
coupled his refusal with unnecessarily
strong language. Shortly afterward Mr..
Callaghan gave history of the correspond
ence which ensued. and complained bit
,terly of Mr.. Powderly's treatment of him.
The i'll feeling thus engendered was inten-
sifed, so far as Mr. Callaghan was concerned,
when that gentleman was defeated for the
nomination for assemblyman from the
Scottsdale district. A short time before
the nominating convention met he asked
Mr.. Powderly to publish his (Callaghan's)
letters to him, in order to correct injurious
statements that had been made against him
by a certain person. Toe request was not
complied with; Mr.. Calaghan was defeated
for the nomi nation, and he
charged Mr.. Powderly with assisting
in the circulation of stories
which led to bis defeat. Had you pub
lished my letters" he declared, ''you would
have saved me; but you would have. ex-
posed your own treachery to the knights,
and you sacrificed me to save yourself"
He also alluded to Mr.. Powderly as "the
most contemplate. the most hateful, and
the most designing villain who ever escaped
| a halter"
While this is only Mr.. Powderly's state
ment, it seems to be fair one, and it
| places Mr.. Callaghan in the position of IL
man soured by defeat The matter is not
an important one, and the chief point of
public interest in it is that legal action is
| likely to be brought against the leader of
| the Knights of Labor

The Philadelphia Inquirer is annoyed
because Senator voorhees, wants the Senate
to investigate the "blocks of fiven business.
1t asks the senator if he thinks the Dudley
letter will have any more influence in the
next presidential election than the Morey
letter had in that of 1884. ''If not" it saws,
"why waste the time of the Senate in a hot
tempered political debate.n The Morey
letter was written by an irresponsible per-
son, it proposed no crime, and it was con-
demned by democrats, The Dudley letter
was written, it is asserted, by the
treasurer of the republican national
committee, and it proposed a grave
crime, and one that, it is thought.
was committed. That is the difference be-
tween the two, and when a republican
newspaper seeks to prevent Dudley's con-
duct from being investigated, it virtually
admits that it is afraid the probable expos
ure would injure the Rep bhcan party.
The Inquire, by the way, is not usually
opposed to 'hot-tempered debates" in con-
gress, especially if political capital for its
party can be made by them.
