THE NEGRO PROBLEM.
rscss Concerning the Colored Vote In

TIE negro problem is being solved,
and the negroes themselves are doing
t. In the recent election in Alabama
the majority of the black men voted
the democratic ticket We have this
fact from democratic and republican
sources. 1t is fact of the highest inn
portance, and it is worthy of the ut
most publicity. There was a lively
competition for the negro vote, as the
whites were pretty equally divided. On
the one side was the combination OF
populists and republicans who support
ed KOlb for governor, and on the other
side was the straight-out democracy
whose candidate was Jones. Almost
all the populist, or members of the peo-
pies party, were seceders from the de-
mocracy, and some of them have until
recently been high in the councils of
that organization. The populists were
the ective partners in the combination.
In the campaign the republicans did
comparatively little talking. but APP
pa-ently they supported the ticket hon
estly, and mustered their full strength

Flames Almost Totally Destroy the Met
ropolitan Opera House ia New York.
New YORK, Aug. 29.-The auditorium
of the Metropolitan opera house. which
has rung with the notes % Patti and
Lyman and Campanini. where great
balls and banquets and receptions have
been held, was destroyed by fire Satur-
day morning. The fire broke out after
Q o'clock. IL had is origin on the
fourth floor, directly over the stage,
where the frame said to be the largest
in the world, upon which the scenery
is painted, is fixed. just how the fire
started is not known positively.
The opera house occupies the plot
of ground 200 by $50 feet, bound.
ed by Broadway, Fortieth street,
Seventh avenue and Thirty-eighth
street. The stage is on the
Seventh avenue side. 1t was noon be-
fore the fire was considered under com.
plete control. Tie flames swept
through the great auditorium, and in a
few minutes little was left of it except
the iron work The fire caught the
richly adorned circle of boxes, and
they were at once flaming
furnace. The Are from the
floor came up to meet the circle of
boxes, and the continued flames then
swept onward TO the roof and through
it. The roof was rapidly consumed,
the great beams falling inward. The
iron work of the seats in the audi
torium soon gave way and the whole
mass tumbled into the cellar. The
flames ragged for an hour or so in the
building, and when they had some
what abated it was found they had
done vast amount of damage. The
whole interior was gutted. On the
Seventh avenue side the wall is stand
ing unsupported five stories high, and
appears solid. The inner wall on the
Thirty ninth street side fell The loss
is variously estimated at from $500, 900
to 81, 600, 900.

line in politics, and any influence or
issue which removes it will be wei
coined by republicans. A division of
the negro vote is what is required.
This will be followed by division of
the white vote. Thus the old bugbear
of black supremacy viii be destroyed.
Perhaps the abandonment of the re-
publicans by the negroes would leave
the latter open to the imputation of
ingratitude, but there are considera-
tons which would weaken an accusa-
ton of this sort. BY cinging in a
mass to the republicans the negroes
hurt themselves without helping the
republicans, for in such conditions the
great bulk OF the white men are ar
rayed against them, and they are
either prevented from voting or their
votes are not counted. by division
of their favors between the two parties
they win be an object of interest TO
each and of dread to neither. In the
Alabama case the division has pro-
ceeded to the extent that the great
bulk of the negroes went over to the
democracy. No matter; the repub-
licans will not insist on split in the
negro vote near the middle. This is a
little matter of detail which the
colored men may arrange to suit them
selves. The great requirement is that
there be split somewhere. Let the
negroes of the south dismiss from their
thoughts all claim which the repub-
liean party has on them for support.
The claim is quarter of a century old
and it is barred by the statute of po-
litical limitations. A division on the
living issues is what is demanded by
the situation. Thus the negro will be
allowed tc exercise his political rights
freely, and he will become more i'm
portant and self-respecting member of

M'KINLEY PROSPERITY.
rrdisputabIe Argument In Favor of High


The tariff speeches recently made in
the senate have dealt largely with
mathematical calculations based upon
averages of prices. The republican de-
h2tSrs have had a marked advantage
in the argument, because the fact dis
closed by the statistics respecting Nc
klnley prices have been on their side.
A bstract conclusions from such tables
rs the finance committee has laborious-
ly prepared belong to what may be de
scribed as the higher mathematics of
tariff discussion. An argument less
comprehensive in its scope, but perhaps
more ineligible to the ordinary mind,
can be based upon the industrial prog
ress of town which has been favora-
bly, affected by recent tariff legislation.
Evidences of phenomenal prosperity
abound in that great center of cotton
manufacturing. Since the passage of
the Mckinley act many new factories
have been built and many old mills
have been enlarged. In single year
there has been an increase of 20O,O in
the number of spindles and an enlarged
production of S2l 100000. These ex-
traordinary gains have not been made
at the expense of the consumer. From
the passage of the Mckinley act the
prices of cotton prints have been
steadily reduced. An enormous expan-
sion of the productive resources of the
town has been accompanied by the
eheapening of the goods for the benefit
of the American people. That is Z
striking illustration of what may be
described as Mckinley prosperity. I'M
der which every body gains and nobody
loses. Fall River, with its S2S 900, 000
invested in cotton factories. its SIS, OO0,-
600 paid annually to wage earners, its
s12. 600, 600 of w0rkmen's deposits in
the savings banks, and its cotton prints
half cent cheaper than theJ were in
1890, is an irrefutable argument in
favor of protective tariff.
Senators Vest and Carlisle, who are
lamenting the terrible lot OF working
people under tariff oppression, rob
berry by trusts" and Mckinley prices"
ought to make an excursion to Fall
River and find out the facts. They will
find there one of the most prosperous
working communities in the world,
owning in good part its own houses,
having its millions on deposit in the
saving banks, and receiving wages
nearly double those paid in England.
There are no signs of hard times and

business depression there. The intro
duction of higher grades of manufac-
turing has put premium upon skilled
labor and greatly increased the earn
ings of the best workmen. At the
same time, by a Encouragement of the
working hours, wages have been vir-
tually increased BIS per cent. at cost
of $500, 600 year to the manufacturers.
This has been done in the face of a re-
duction of wages abroad, and of a sec
oud impending cut of 10 per cent in
Lancashire. Mckinley prosperity in
Fall River is shared in large degree
by the operatives whose labor has been
protected and its purchasing power ma
terially increased by republican legisla-
ton.
What has the democratic party to of
fer To such a community as that at Fall
River? A tariff for revenue only.
What will that involve? A larger share
of the American market for foreign
manufactures with cheaper labor be-
hind them. Work on new factories
will be stopped: old mills will be oper-
ated on shorter time and with lower
wage-rolls; the higher grades of manu-
| featuring viii be abandoned; workmen
will have inferior work and possibly be
thrown ont of employment; the surplus
earnings in the savings banks will be
drawn out, and Fall River will rapidly
decline in prosperity. Even If 1t be
true that workman can save so cents
on a coat under revenue tariff favor
ing English mportations-and when
did an American wage-earner ever have
as cheap clothing as he has under the
existing TARIFFS it worth while to
make that saving, if his wages are To
bc cut down one-half or one third, or if
he is to be thrown out of employment
altogether? A tariff for revenue only
would be disastrous alike to the manu-
| facturer and his worbmen. 1t is the
most cruel and deadly of all the Eng
lish notions contained in the Pandora's
box OF democratic politics. = n u.

One of the most curious stones in the
world Is found in Finland, where 1t oc-

barometer, and actually foretells prob
able changes in the weather. 1t is
called semakuir, and turns black short
ly before an approaching rain. while in

white. For long time this curious
phenomenon was mystery, but an
analysis of the stone show it to be a
fossil mixed with clay and containing
a portion of rock salt and inter. This
fact being known, the explanation was
easy. The salt, absorbing the moisture.
turned black when the conditions were
favorable for rain. while the dryness of
the atmosphere brought out the salt
