THE RACE PROBLEM.

Belford's Magazine has an ably writ
ten article from the cultured pen of
Judge G.. r.. Fenner of the Louisiana SUI
preme court, giving n southern view of
the race problem. He holds to the idea
that the thrusting of the uneducated
freedmen into southern politics, whore
they necessarily had to compete with
the united Caucasian race of that coun-
try, was n mistake only to be remedied
by the retirement of the colored people
from active participation in southern
politics. In discussing the question, he
says:
large majority of wise and enlightened
men OF all parties have undou btedly con-
cluded, from the experience of the past
twenty years, that the granting ofunversal
suffrage to the negro was n political mistake
injurious equally to the whites and blacks of
the country. Notwithstanding great difficult
ties in the way, there are not wanting signs of
the times pointing to its withdrawal. If things
go ON as they arc going, the time Will surely
come when, in the interests of both races, such
withdrawal will become n necessity.
Anticipating such an event the Judge
proclaims the following motto: Gov
ernment for the white protection for
the black
But there are great difficulties in the
way OF such policy. Many will admit
that it might have been practical before
the enfranchisement, but the northern
people will hesitate before consenting TO
n disfranchisement of the negro. Fol
lowed out to its Legitimate results such
policy would take from the southern
states at least thirty electoral votes and
almost preclude the possibility of another
democratic president Without the
electoral votes representing the southern
negro vote that never was counted,
Cleveland would never have pressed the
presidential chair.
The race question will take its course
All our resolutions and discussions will
have very little permanent effect.
Natural laws are not easily changed
Their certain course may be temporarily
turned aside, but in time they will again
assert their rights. The foundations Of

WHAT DOES 1T NIATTERP
Ella UheelsF JgHcOr

Wealth and glory, peace and power.
What are they worth 10 me or youl
For the lease of life runs out in an hour,
And death stands ready 10 claim his due;
Sounding honors on heaps Of gold,
What are they all when all is toldi
A pain or pleasure, a smile or tear
What does it matter what we claimi
For we stop from the cradle into the bier,
And a careless world goes on the same,
Hours of gladness or hours of sorrow,
What does it matter to US tomorrow
Truth Of love or VOW of friend
Tender caresses or cruel sneers-
What do they matter 10 us in the endi
For the brief day dies and the long night
uearS,
Passionate kisses or tears Of gall
The grave will open and cover them all.
Homeless yagraut, on hOnOred guest,
Poor aud humble, or rich aud great
All are rdtkcd with the worlds unrest,
All must meet with the common fate,
Life from childhood Till we are old,
What is all when all is told

the race dilhcnt ies reach down far below
our common pufidcs and prejudices, and
they will work out destiny on the lines
Of natural laws without regard to the
opinions Of Judge Fcnnor or the views of
the most radical northern partisan.
Let the racequestion alone and it will
drift to its destind dtion. Tampering with
it only hinders its final solution. The
colored man is equal to the Caucasian
before the law, and after humanitarian
friends have accomplished all they can in
educating his race his future will depend
entirely upon Rigown efforts.

A Congressional suggestion.

1t has been suggested that General Van
Wyck should be run for congress from this
district this fall. The principal objection to
Van Wycli being a candidate from this dis
trict arises from the fact that he resides in
another district. This we don't believe
would be a legal objection. Men have repre-
sented districts in other states that were not
residents in those districts. However, if
that embodiment of all monopolics known in
this country, c. w. Il. Dorsey, should be
nominated by the Office holders, there should
be man nominated that can down him.

The Census Questions.

NtIU IOWt IFlDItnC.
Even if it does seem little absurd to ask
bushing damsel whether she was a soldier,
sailor or marine during the civil war, which
was over before she was born, or the father
of grown family whether he has been to
school during the census year, or a loquacious
widow whether she is insane, homeless
child or speaks English, no harm is DONE and
the mere presence of the questions on the
census list ought not to irritate anybody.
The printed blanks are intended to cover all
cases and to aid classification. The ques-
tions, on the whole, are well framed and have
the great merit of clearness.

Keep Up Ihc Pace.


NOltOh NCUS,
The Republican party is to be congratu-
lated that its state central committee has
known and met the wishes of the people
The early convention gives promise that the
best men of the party will be placed in the
lead this fall The abolition of the proxy
nuisance gives promise that the will of the
people is to be respected and represented in
the convention. Making the convention a
large ono gives less possibility of unwise
nominations. The party has started out well
in the campaign, and the pace set by the CEN
tral committee should be kept up to the end.

manufacturers and merchants to practically

The republican party in Nebraska is head
ing in the right direction. 1t will hold an
early convention and there will be no proxies
in it. This much has been accomplished by
the anti-monopoly conference and its COM
mittee of fifteen. Without the aggressive
spirit which asserted itself in that conference
the party would have had no hope of success

who love the party better than the corpor-
ations had not stepped forward and de-
manded these reforms, it could not be ex-
pected that the hired politicians of the rail

THE Farmers alliance of South Da-
llota yielded to the demands of politi-
clans and placed an Independent state
and congressional ticket in the field.
Heretofore the alliance has welded the
balance of power in the state. It's de-
mands were conceded by the dominant
party. In fact it was the controlling
power, and if the state legislature failed
in its duty to the interests of the people
it was because the producers elected
men who proved recreant to their trusts.
Now that the alliance has sue
cumbed to the Vaccinations of poll
ticians, it will lose its power for
good and become the football of
self-seekers and be ground between
the upper and neither millstones of the
old parties. 1t is doubtful if majority
of the members will support the ticket
Dissension is already visible in the ranks
and the disintegration of an organiza-
tion which has been productive of many
benefits to the farming community is
among the early probabilities.
