VIII Endorse the Chicago Platform

Rchmond Letter in IndeX-Appeal)
Some of the silver people are preparing
the way 10 reafflrm the Chicago plat
form when the state convention meets
one gentleman has put out go letters
TO silver leaders. asking what they
thought SHOULD be done. Nearly every
reply was TO the effect tina; the state
convention should stand by the Chicago
platform. The author Of the letters told
me that the silver people were prepared
to have the county and city conventions
endorse the Chicago platform, and that
the issue would be pressed.

nEGINNING TO SEE 1T.

The Springfield CIass) Republican, in
noticing the efforts being made in some
quarters to prove that there is a marked
tendency on the part of the negro popu-
lation of the South to move northward,
questions whether this movement is
more than a sporadic or broken emf
grafton. Then our Springfield contem-
porary confesses to a conviction that the
North is not, by any means a promised
land for the negro, and also antagonizes
the proposition of those negrophile CEN
sus experts who claim a rapid increase
in the negro population. The pitiless
march," says the Republican, "of north
ern and western civilizations leaves lit
tie hope for the negro in their midst
aud his comparatively slow rate of ma
tural increase even in the most fayo-
rable climatic sections exhibits a situa-
ton and a tendency which even the
humanitarian is powerless to overcome
Gradually, the North is beginning 10
understand the negro, and 10 appreciate
the fact that he can never, in any way
or under any conditions, become the
competitor of the Caucasian. Other
things the North is beginning TO under
stand are that the best friend of the
negro is the southern white man, and
that whatever dormant capabilities there
are in the race can be developed only by
the former Shareholders and their children,
who have a consideration for the negro
not accorded him at the North. Except
indirectly, as does the Republican in its
reference to "the pitiess march of north
ern and western civilizations" our north
ern friends are slow to admit that this
light is breaking upon them, but we
look for the admission on terms and
direct in time.

The Providence Or. II Journal speaks
words of soberness and truth when II
cows that "the farmers are just as much
entitled TO government aid as any other
class-perhaps more So" And it also
speaks words, of soberness and truth
when it adds that the farmers did not
get q cent of benefit out of the agricul-
tural schedules of the Mckinley law ana
they will fare no better under the heavy
duties on their products that the Dingiey
bill nroposes."

UNION PACIFIC MONEY
Won't Be Used to Build the Big
Canal

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Herald's q
Washington correspondent telegraphs:
1t Is not believed that Congress will
adopt the suggestion of the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce and set
apart the money received from the goy-
ernment's interest in the Pacific rail-
roads as fund for the construction OF
the Nicaragua canal.
One reason for this Is that the money
will be needed to meet the current de-
mands on the treasury and to wipe out
the deficit which has been rapidly in
creasing since the passage of the Ding
ley bill, owing to the falling of in re-
ceipts from customs as consequence
Of heavy importations in anticipation
Of the passage Of that law. The excess
of expenditures over receipts for the
fiscal year up to date amount to more
than $42.000.0O0 and the available. cash
balance in the treasury vaults is rapid
ly diminishing.
