An Anchor to Windward.
Washington POST

In the event that the South and West sh0ud
get sufficiently together tO assert controlling
force I'M the next Democratic national c0uvcu-
ton. the ST. Louis Republic would advise"
that the candidate for President Doe selected
from Illinois II does not Lamc It's man. hut
there will be- no difficulty iu guessing who
Just n0w fills the Republic's eye. All Tins
upon the assumption that the South and West
conclude % look elsewhere than o. New York
for a standard-bearer. Our esteemed St.
Louis contemporary seems % bee hedging
little, or something to that effect il says
further
But if the West il not ready 10 lead. If the
strength u showed IN 1890 is to be dls~ipated
If II distru-t- itself too much 10 assert its
power. then there is only one candidate avail
able from the other side Ot the Aleghculcs
the candidate who. IN lsSs, made himself
Democratic Winkelried in the party na-uit-
cent attack on the plutocracy 81 his section.
The only New Yorker who can bee trusted
with the leadership of the Democratic mil ions
is Grover Cleveland
This greatly simplifes the situation. 1t all
depends upon whether the West dlstru-ts
itself or not. Should the West possess the
faith and courage To- assert its power. the
candidate will be an Illinois man. Should
the Western Democracy giyo ont az the knee,
when the time for action comes. their only
alternative Will be 10 accept Mr. Cleveland
In other words the contest lies between
tariff reform and free coinage As to which shall
be- the dominant issue The Republic is set
ting its sails o. meet either contingency.

The prison statistics gathered by the census
bureau offered additional yindication Of the
Southern States and people from one of the
charges persistently and maliciouslv made by
Republicans. The charge l. that while the
execution OF the criminal laws of the southern
States Is very LAY towards white offenders.
thew are enforced rigidly and sometimes un-
Justly against the negroes.
The census statistics show that there are IN
the United States greatly more negro con-
victs in proportion 10 the population Of the
two races. than there are Of the whites. The
figures given ont report iiGS7 negro conYcts
h. p. 40 white c0nvict- and THAT Of the latter
only 1919 are native whites. The whites
Outnumber the negroes az least SIX to one III
the whole country. and yet the white conNicts
are only double those Of the cOlored, ana the
native white cOnyicts are less IN number thah
the colored.
When we come 20 examine these pension
statistics for the several States the injustice
of the Republican charge is made SIM more
apparent. They show that m The great Siale
of New York the proportion ~ the colorrd
conyicts 20 the colorcd population Is eighty
five In every 10000, while IN the southern
State of Virginia ID Is only fourteen a. the
luO00 that IN Massachusetts, there are thifiF-
five negro cOuyicts "a the 10000 Of their popu-
laton. while i'm Mississippi there are only SIN
The comparison might be extended to "a num-
ber If other States showing in nearly every
instance that IN the Southern or lat" slave
holding States the criminal laws are executed
with less severity against the negroes than
they are On the Northern States.
These statistics certainly do not afford
evidence that the rights Of the negroes are
more regarded IN the Northern than IN the
Southern States.
