If the Republican party should divide

adelphia American, the responsibility
Will rest on eastern Republicans who
permit the would be and apparent lead
ers of ths party to ignore the silver
question, and who though antagonissic
TO the gold standard, satisfy themselves
with meaningless expressions in party
platforms, that will bear any interpreta-
ton. Continuing the American says:
Republicans should demand that their
leaders be outspoken and not take refuge
behind qualified endorsements of BIZ

standard, and are so unders God in the

Senator Sherman and Governor Nc
kinley in opening the Ohio campaign
demanded the repeal of the Wilson
German tariE and the restitution of true
protective duties So far so good, but
Governor Mckinley hesitated to clearly
define his position rs to the restoration of
silver. Like Mr.. Reed, Mr.. Harrison,
Senator Allison and other aspirants for
the Republican nomination, Governor
Mckinley would prefer to ignore this
question, to await Developments, espouse
the winning side and hold himself ready
to stand on any platform. 1t is just such
vaciilation, hedging and lodging that is
disrupting the Republican party, sep
aratIng the west from the east.
Instead of supporting bimetallism or
the gold standard steadfastly and from
principle, they hold principle subservient
to place, ever vainly seeking a position
from which they can espouse either BIZ
metallism or gold monometallism as cir
cumstances of place seem to require.
Fearing and making no effort to guide
the current of public opinion, they fol-

Those who have shown themselves
ready to sacrifice principle to place can
never command the confidence OF gain
the united support of the Republican
party. such leaders cannot lead the
party to victory; the people do not want
such leaders, and the Republican party
cannot afford to put such leaders for
ward. The psople look for leaders who
have the courage of their convictions,
for men who hold principle dearer than
place and power. Such leaders the Re-
publican party looks for, such leaders
alone can secure the united support of
Republicans of all sections and lead the
party to victory.

between these two extremes there is
now a large class for whom the imme-
diate future looks very dark indeed.
There are tens of thousands of edu-
Gated young colored men and women
full of ambition and eager to do some
thing for themselves and their race, but
every avenue seems shut up. And they
are fitted by nature for the finer kinds
of work in silk and linen. That peculiar

and fabrics, even that delicacy of touch.

is exactly suited for the mills manufac-
turing in silk, linen and cotton. The
philanthropist can spend his money and
keep it, too-aye, make profit on it, A
notice over the door of such a mill that
it is "for colored people exclusively"
would offend no prejudice, and the south
now has some 100000 young men and
women for whom this is the natural
work.
But to return to the Negro building.
The front is adorned with an immense
relieve, which at first view strikes one
as Iudicrous. On the right is an i'm

with that of a typical black woman of
the plantation laborer class. It is far
from pretty, but it is suggestive and
true to life. Between is the cotton field,
with cart, pillow, mule team and negro
driver. observe that prominence is ev-

THE SUNDAY HERALD.

"The publishers Of newspapers now

doubt. has had much to do with the
recent astonishing cuts in price that

Munseys and others that might be
named 1t is noticeable, too. that this
has been carried out without preJu-

by placing before its readers itera-
ture of the highest rank, and at
such a figure as to bring it within the
reach of all"

occasion to call attention Of its regu-

of its Sunday edition. Last week, its
principal feature was a, story by the
well-known and brilliant writer, Rud-

more than the price charged for a

other high class features, will be
found short story by Bret Harte.

government. But when he sends up one
wild shrek, declaring that personal liber-
~ has ceased to be the great end of
our governmnt, and that it is tottering
to its fall-all because of the enervating
