A WARNING.

The New, York Times was quick 10
oolt the Chicago platform and nominees
but in commenting on McKlnley's declara-
ton that recent events have imposed
upon the patriotic people OF the country,
a responsibility greater than the CIVIL
war" It asks:
"Why, then, should not Mr.. Mckinney go
a little further and dispel the doubts OF
many patriots by saying that, X he should
be elected, he would oppose all legislation
brought forward in the interest or tne
silver policy, even II It should be impos-
sible to enact any revision Of the tarIt
without making concc ssi0nS TO the silver
group in the Senator
This question should open tire eyes OIL
al Democrats who contemplate voting
for Mckinley. The answer to Il Is that
Mckinley is a Republican, first last, and
all the time. The Republican party IS
as much Joined to its tariff and other
idols as ever. 4 Republican triumph
would mean the carrying out Of all the
policies Of that party. The Times's ques-
ton is a warning TO dissatisfied Demo-
Gratis against being swift witnesses for
Mckinley.

tailed and painstaking goid-standard fight
that any other eastern Republican news
paper; but it does not" it adds. pro
pose, as some OF its neighbors apparently
do. to swallow its protectionist princi-
pies" because they are Objectionable to
some gold-standard professors, Of whom
the Republican party is not yet certain
that they are gold-standard pracucers.
Nor does the Republican party, as
whole. propose TO swallow its protection
list principles. or any other principles or
doctrines upon which II has fed ever
since its birth. The only difference be-
tween the Press and its neighbors is that
the former Is more honest than the latter.

be found the same old treacherous tim
bers out of which every platform of the
Republican party has been built.

RACE PnEJUDICE.

Verify a very broad ray OF light has
recently penetrated the sanctum Of our
old friend. the Providence OR. - Journal.
Referring to the ostracism Of the negro
In Boston. in tho way of excluding him
from the sphere of mechanical pursuits,
refusing to sell him property in the select
white quarters Of the city. &c, the Jour
nal says that as il is in Boston, so it IS
I'm other Northern cities. This is a frank
confession. But our contemporary does
not stop here. 1t justifes the ostracism.
II, It continues, one Of two dissimilar
races is unwilling 10 admit the other to
its social life there must be thought TO
exist an impossible barrier too formida-
BILE for law 10 level or for even the mora
list to inveish against. Surely there is
no i'll feeling entertaircd by the whites
Of the North toward the negro. Nobody
wishes to deprive him Of a single legal
right. But when It comes TO the intimate
and private phases Of society, the white
man will erect such barriers as he pleases,
whether against the black, the Mongo-
Ian, or the uncongenial white person.
This, says the Journal in conclusion, is
something outside the pale Of law, and 10
amount o. legislation could effect per-
manont or widespread change.
Yes. Race prejudice is an Inherent law
OF nature, higher than the laws Of man.
But who expected a leading Republican
journal Of New England TO make such a
full admission Of the fact as the above?

PARTY TIES.

The Dispatch has certainly never had
n doubt as TO what a sense Of duty re-
euired NJ the hands of the Democrats
after the Chicago convention had agreed
upon its nominees. We expressed our
creed on that subject in the words IL
you play you must pay" 1t is the same
creed which Mr.. Cleveland so happily
xorded in his letter of July, 1892 TO the
Atlanta Constitution. He said in that
letter:
7 think THE UNDERLYING PRINCE
PIE OF PARTY ORGANIZATION IS
what YOU SO admirably express as an
ACCEPTANCE OF THE ARBlIRA-
MENT OF THE NATIONAL CONNEN-
TION. On the other hand, 1t is as iuiiy
fhe duty OF one opposed to shut his mind
ana heart to any feeling of irritation or
resentment that might be allowed to
grow out Of opposition based upon honest
judgement and q conscientious desire Tor
party success.
Yes. tho acceptance OF the arbitrament
of the national convention Is the under
lying principle Of party organization. And
SO We waited for the action Of that con-
vention, but when It did act we hesitated
not one moment, but made as distinct
declaration as our command Of language
would enable us 10 make, accepting the
arbitrament>of the national convention.
1t is too late TO raise question as 10
the desirability of a candidate after we
have used our utmost efforts to defeat
him in the national convention. We
cannot escape the responsibility which
rests uyon rs as members Of the Demo
cratic party. We went into a friendly
contest with our brother Democrats as
to whether our favorite or theirs should
lead the Democratic hosts to victory.
The contest was decided against us, and
as good Democrats, we can do nothing
but submit TO the arbitrament Of the
national convention. We trust that the
Democrats Of Richmond will so to work
at once. We have no fears as to the
result in Virginia or the United States,
but It is always best to employ wisely
whatever means may come into your
hands. Work. then. as IL the result OF
the pending presidential election was &c
he largely erected by your Gntirins zeal
and unabatod efforts for success.
