CONFLICT OF THE RACES.
The English Press Freely Expresses
Pointed Opinions.

LONDON, Dec. 25.-In a leader on the
lynching of negroes in the Southern
States, the Post this morning says: 1t ia
hardly open to question that in many
parts of the former slave-ho lding States of
the American Union, the negro question
is rapidly approaching a critical stage. In
the North the gravity of the situation ia
hardly recognized. although the whites re-
fuse in practice TO accord the negro that
political and social equality to which he is
in theory entitled. In the South no hallu-
citations exist. In parts Of the South
where white families are often completely
isolated. each white man knows he and
his family are in position of perpetual
peril. That q critical point has been
reached, however, is shown by the fact
that the negroes display a tendency to
stand by men of their race and aid them
if need be.
1t will be necessary to face a race war
some day. The result, of course, could
not be doubtful. The power of organiza
ton of the white man is far superior to that
of the negro. and 10 the case of racial war
The whites would have exclusive command
of the situation. Such a struggle, how
ever, would be far from ending the negro
question. The root of the trouble lies
principally in the fact that negroes multi
ply more rapidly than whites, who nsist
on ruling, no matter at what cost. Against
such universal conviction there is no ap-
peal, nor is it possible to say that this po-
sition is devoid of justification. Hayti
does not furnish favorable evidence of the
capacity of the negro to govern, and the
negro press Of the Southern States does
not afford any indication that the black
population of that territory possesse
either distinction or enlightenment
The progress of time increases the
peril OF the situation and does nothing to
bring about solution of the problem.
The Government of the United States has
before it the problem of successful treat

only the republic but the whole civilized

Democrats The Republican leaders and
Republican voters generally supported

cline compensation as town commissioner
and would leave his salary In the treas

The other commissioners Of Easton are
Benjamin +. Parlett, Republican, who
has two years TO serve, and John
