Mr.. Cleveland is strong, fibrous

and his countrymen know that he is.
Their regard for him is quite as credit
able to them as it is honorable to him.
Philadelphia Telegraph (Rep.).
In spite of the Northern section
alists OF the Clarkson stripe, the South
is on the spot, so to speak. 1t is part
of the common country, and in the mat

cutting out work that the most favored
sections will find it impossible to equal.

There is no law which compels
Democrats to submit to Republican
stealing. This may be news to great
many people, but it is the truth, never
be no trouble at all if the Republicans
would recognize the truly Democratic
principle that elections elect.-Chicago

Mr.. Harrison's District Attorney
in indianapolis says: Il shall not, by
my aid, permit Colonel Dudley to be

not be in accordance with his judicial
policy."-St. Louis Republic.
IT is stated that Senator Sherman
is at the head of the movement to have
Governor Foraker appointed Minister to

If one can not seriously and soberly

the condition of that man who can be
happy no longer than he can be thought
less. If he were right himself, then to

CEORGlA'S RACE RIOTS.
Nature Itself Has Set Up a Barrier Be.
tween Whites and Blacks.

tween Whites and BLACKS.
There is probably nothing worse
about the little unpleasantness reported
from two or three counties in Georgia
than a more or less natural outcome of
the holiday customs which have long
prevailed among the Southern negroes
Even in the old slavery days almost the
entire black population was allowed
some days of absolute idleness at the
Christmas season. With emancipation
better facilities for getting whisky
have come, and drink breeds quarrel
someness and stimulates murderous in
clinations. as matter of course, in a
race SO excitable. Under such con-
ditions the riot at Jesup was easily
raised. A drunken negro was sent to
the lookup: mob of drunken negroes
attempted to release him: half a dozen
officers and citizens were killed or fatal
ly wounded; the blacks of the surround
ing region. half or wholly drunk, were
wrought to frenzy. and the white peo-
pie were forced to arm in self-defense.
Disturbances in other parts of the State
were doubtless provoked in the same
way.
These things are deplorable, certain
ly, but are they not inevitable when two
distinct races are occupying the same
region, entitled to equal rights, and
forced by uncomfortable circumstances
into constant contact that must excite
almost constant hostility? If the blacks
were insignificant in numbers their ul-
innate absorption by an unnatural and
repulsive bleaching process" into the
mass OF the population might possibly
be expected, but they breed too rapidly
for that. The theory OF the law makes
the two races equal, and prescribes that
they shall live together peacefully and
without friction. The facts of nature
indicate that the laws prescription is
nonsensical.
In order to avoid present collisions
and future calamities beyond calcula-
ton the policy of restoring the colored
race to it's old home in Africa ought to
be favored by intelligent men of both
races. The colored leaders who think
that the spread of their people through
the North and West might solve the
problem are short-sighted The North
and West are in no need of and can not
be expected to welcome such immi-
grants in large numbers. There is hard
" a colored colony of a score or two fam
lilies in any part of either section, in
town or community, that is not consid-
cred more or less of nuisance. Few if
any such colonies can be found the ex-
istence of which has not the effect of
greatly depreciating the value of prop
erty in their vicinity. Nature has set
up barrier between the two races
which is apparently impossible. There
isa whole continent waiting the infusion
of such civilization as our colored people
could give. They might work out
grand destiny in that cradle of their
race. No such destiny is or ever can be
open before them here.-Chicago Globe.

EXCELLENT ADVICE.
The Common-Se Views of a Negro Who
Understands the Race Problem.

The CommOn-Sense views of a Negro Who
Understands the Race Problem.
A letter written by John T. Shufton,
of Orlando. Fla, which has been extern
sively published, has attracted attention
by its extremely temperate treatment
of the race question in the South. The
writer is a cOloreG man who has OBJ
tanned a collegiate education by his own
efforts, and who is much respected for
his merit and good sense. He thinks
that the negro is subjected to no disad-
vantages in the South that any other
people would not be subjected to who
keep themselves poor and dependent
upon a more progressive and thrifty
race. Even their disadvantages, he
says, are more imaginary than real.
Every avenue of employment is open to
them. and they have the same chance to
become prosperous and happy through
industry and economy that their white
neighbors have.
Equally to the purpose is what Mr..
ShuftOn has to say of the conduct of
fanatical leaders, pretended preachers
and politicians of the North who are
trying to bring on war of races in the
South. He regards them as the worst
begs them to desist from their ''diabolic-
al attempt to invite defenseless people
to attempt their own destruction.
After speaking of the efforts of mis-
guided members of his race to force
themselves into positions of social
equality, which it is hopeless for them
to seek, he sums up hiSViews of what is
best for the negro in these words:
Let the colorcd man turn from all of his
imaginary social happiness of mingling with
another race of people, who show in every con-
ceivable way that they do not wish his COM
pany, and get to work in earnest in acquiring
the more permanent and substantial things of
life, and the great problem is at solved.
The coored people want new teachers down
here-teachers and leaders who will point out
and instruct them in the way of peace prosper
ity and happiness: teachers who will disabuse
their minds of this political vanity, farce and
humbug that are fast leading them blindfolded
into indolent ShiftlesSneSs the result of
which is now being manifested by every Grim
inal courts record
There can be no question that the
Southern negroes would be vastly bet
ter off if they would follow the leader
ship of such men as the writer of this
letter. He apprehends clearly enough
the only effectual means of elevating
his race to a sure position of respect
ability and usefulness. His advice is
less flattering than that of self-seeking
demagogues, but it is far more salutary.

MODERN JOURNALISM.


The Subject Discussed by Successful
Philadelphia Editor.
One of the trials of the editor is the
ephemeral nature of his work. Yet
even this has its compensatory offset in
the wider reading and the Immediate
effect. A hundred thousand readers
spread over ten or twenty years would
be great crown and reward in any lit
erature-why not hundred thousand
readers concentrated in day? However
evanescent its character, the triumphs
associated with the modern newspaper
are incalculable. The consciousness of
directly addressing half million peo-
pie and of indirectly speaking to con-
tinent, is inspiring. 1t is true there is
no intellectual eXhilaration, no electric
thrill, no ecstasy of soul, like that of
the orator who looks into the eye of
his hearers and plays upon their
emotions and feels the quickening re-
action upon himself. But that audience
ence is unlimited The editor has the
world for his field and all subjects OF
thought for his themes. He speaks be-
fore the orator can get to his feet and
settles opinion before the statesman
makes himself heard. He draws the
fang even while he gives it play and
sends his antidote with the poison.
When Coleridge, reporting midnight
speech in the House of Commons and
dashing off his answer at two o'clock in
the morning, sent it out in the same
sheet, he established the editorial leader
and showed it's possibilities. Napoleon
regarded four newspapers as more dan
gerous than an army of a hundred thou
sand men; and newspapers in his day
had all the limitations of the hand
press. How much more powerful
with the unreasonable resources
of to-day! jefferson said that
he would rather have newspa-
pers without government than gov
eminent without newspapers; and the
philosophy of the observation is clear.
The alertness, vigilance, publicity and
organized public opinion of newspapers
are the safeguards of the social and
political fabric. The editor scourges
wrong-doers, dethrones political usurp-
ers, unhorses official recreants, unfrocks
pretentious charlatans, pricks social
popular opinion, stimulates universal
education, quickens individual aspira-
ton and leads the van of progress. In
this broad realm and in these unlimited
while the daily grind brings
its rasping trials, it is also Illuminated
by splendid and inspiring triumphs.-

THE COMMITTEES.
They Were Made Up to Please Wall Street
and the East.

The first glance at the list of commit
tees appointed by Speaker Reed would
impress one with the belief that he had
been exceedingly generous in the dis
tribution of committee and that he
had made studied effort to avoid the
appearance of sectionalism. This i'm
preston, however will not last when
the committee list is gone through care
fully. 1t is true that Mr.. Reed was ex-
ceptionally magnanimous in his treat
ment of his opponents, and with that
political sagacity for which he has al
ways been noted. has healed up a good
many sore places. But it Will be OBJ
served that in doing this Speaker Reed
has been extremely careful to protect
Eastern interests. and has only made
concessions to the West in matters
where the interests Of the East could
not be affected. The two important
committees Of Congress are the ways and
means and the appropriation commit
tees These were carefully cons tructcd
in advance Of all the others. and so con-
strUcted that monopoIies would be fos-

There are many indications that the

present Congress, which committee IS
headed by Mr.. Mckinley, will report a
tariff bill increasing the customs duties
on many important articles and giving
no relief to those manufacturers who
have appealed to 1t for the free importa-
ton of raw materials. such bill would
suit the friends Of Hon. Grover Cleve-

In an article by DR.. Faber in a Shang-

throughout for the defense or marriage
as a sacred institution, are as one-sided
as all relating to women are in Oriental
countries If a man beats his wife, but
does not break her limbs or MAIN her,
the law takes no notice of it: If a wife
beats her husband she is liable to re-
ceive one hundred blows, and the hus-
band may separate from her. Those
who have been shocked by the sale Of
women in the famine regions Will b e

Longevity in Norway.

The Norwegians, it seems, are the
longest-lived people under the sun. So
we learn from an elaborate 'Livs og
Dodstabeller for def Norske Folk" just
published by the Norwegian Official
Statistical Bureau, or tables of life and
death among the Norwegian people.
The average duration of life in Norway
is As. 33 for the men, 81. 80 for the women
and 40. II for both sexes The director
of the bureau also shows, by COMPARE
son with earlier decades. that the aver
age longevity of the Norwegian folk has
considerably increased. IF the NOR
tality in Norway" he writes, sis seven
teen per cent more favorable than in
Central and Western Europe, it is greatly
due to the comparatively slight NOR
tality among our younger children" To
what particular causes this comparay
lively slight mortality among children
is due we are not told, but probably
anxious parents in warmer climates may
take a hint from it and make inquiries.
