A CHANCELLOR ~ JEOPARDY.

Democratic journals and speakers are impor-
ing the thousands Of Democratic voters in New
Jersey who have refused TO act with their party
the last two years to return 10 the faith and
fold. They say that the NewJersey DemOc-
racy, having been chastened for its sins, has
brought forth the fruits Of repentance in great
prof,Ison. that the rascals have all been retired
in disgrace and the party is now concentrated
essence of sweetness and light. Hence 1t is OF
the highest Importance they argue, that
every virtuous citizen of Democratic pro-
cliyities should vote for Chancellor Nc
Gill, not only because he Is personally a
good man, but also because he represents
the great reform which has been worked
out during period of grief and humiliation and
which Is now ready to direct the destinies Of
the Commonwealth 1t Is announced with great
postiveness that Mr.. McGill couldn't do wrong
if he tried to, and that II there is by any chance
a Democratic rascal still surviving in New
Jersey he would never venture into the Chan
ceor's presence for fear Of being blasted, like
the enemies Of Rider Iaggards She. Therefore
vote for McGill, and thus reward the heroic
patriots who have reared the new and shining
temple Of New-Jersey Democracy in place OF the
foul and hldeous fabric which lately fe in
ruins.
This fervent appeal might be more effective
If something strkingly like II had not been heard
before We seem to recollect that similar
plea was entered in behalf Of the present Gov
ernor Of NewJersey, to whose unblemlshed
record the finger Of retrospecton and OF
prophecy was pointed with deep emotion. He,
too, had been upon the bench and "the judicial
"ermlne when 1t fell around his shoulders
touched nothing less spotess than ITSELF No
body then jeered AT this ascripton Of all the
virtues 10 Judge Werts, and nobody now has
anything to say against the personal character
Of Chancellor McGill. But the fact is indis-
putable that the former has been one of the
most devoted and useful tools which were ever
placed at the service Of political knaves, and The
people of NewJersey cannot afford to expose
the latter's reputation to the wlles OF the men

JUSTICE FOR TIE NEGRO.

The negro exhibit in the Atlanta Exposition,
Itself n cheering sign OF the negro's progress
In recent years, and the kindly attitude Of many
Southern white people toward that exhibit, have
been the subjects Of wide and appreciative com
ment. II has seemed TO many, indeed that
new era Is opening for the negro in the South
However that may be. II Is abundanily evident
that the people Of the South are not yet rea6y 10
accord TO the negro an equal chance with them
selves in the struggle Of life Perhaps it Is too
much TO expect that they should; for the In
grained beliefs and prejudces Of generations
are not easily or quickly dispelled. The over
throw Of the Civil Rights bill, the enactment Of
a Separate Car law in various States, the Mis-
sissippi Constitutional amendment qualifying
suffrage by an educational test, can only find
their justification in the assumption that the
negro Is essentially inferior TO the white man.
ond that because he is inferior the same meas

candid Southerner would deny that this Is the
view of the negro prevalent in the South Even
the late Henry W. Grady, who was perhaps the
best recent exponent Of intelligent and progress
siye Southern opinion, said: THE supremacy OF
"tbe white race Of the South must be main talned

MR.. SOUIER ANSWERS HIS CRITICS.

Commissioner Frank Squer. OF the Brooklyn
Park Department. has been the subject OF harsh
criticism during the last few weeks on ac-
count Of the policy he has pursued In purchas-
ing new park sites. That the attacks made
upon him have a purely political object is evil
dent from the fact that his plans have been
public property for fully six months while
the general scheme OF increasing the city's
park area was brought forward year ago.
and yet up to the beginning OF the present cam
laign not word Of protest was heard from
any quarter. Mr.. Squer has remained silent
under criticism until yesterday when he put
forth a statement which will be generally ac-
cepted as complete answer TO the charges OF
extravaganza and unwisdom preferred against
him.
1t has been one of the favorlte cries or ring
organs and orators that the city of Brooklyn
was spending millions on parks Wnen IL was
unable to provide enough schoolhouses to ac-
commodate the children Of school age Mr..
souier says that in a sense parks are az neces-
sary as schoohouses, and he Is undoubtedly
right: both are essential to the welfare OF
large community. and no comparison can prop
erly be made between them. But. as matter
Of fact II Is the county Of Kings. not the city
Of Brooklyn which Is buying the new parks.
and the county cannot build schoolhouses. Inc
parks too, are being acquired under law
passed by a Democratic Legislature. and APP
proved by Democratic Corporation Counsel.
That no excessive prices have been paid Tor at
least the largest Of the proposed new parks Is
proved by the recent decision OF Judge Glenn
emit of the City Court. In the suit begun by
Patrick II. Flynn Commissioner Squier fur-
Their makes a comparison between some OF
his own purchases and several parks secured
when the Democrats were in control or the
city showing that the Democratic PARK Com
missioner paid just twice as much per acre
as is being paid under the present administra-
ton.
These facts and figures speak for themselves
ard completely refute the partisan attacks
that have been made on Mr.. squier' VINO
has CONDUCTED his department with great
energy and Efficiency. and on broad lines that
will in the future cause his name to be linked
with that of Mr. Stranahan one of the two
creators Of Brookyns park system
