The Little Attorney General" in an I'm
DOrtant Legal Battle.


Attorney General Boyle left this morn
ing for Fort Scott, where he will repre-
sent the State In the cases before Judge
Simons to compel the enforcement OF
the screen and anti-sCrip laws in south
eastern Kansas.
"These cases are more pregnant In i'm
portance as regards the right OF the
state to exercise Its police power against
Entertainments on the part Of trusts and
large corporations than any which have
yet come up" he said yesterday, There
aye about 5000 persons engaged in labor
ting as miners in Kansas and about 1000
of them work underground, Their work
Is done for half dozen large corpora
tions, leaving out the question Of one
central trust. The State has heretofore
protected the property Of these large
operators with its militia In times of
strikes, ETC., when called upon to do so.
Large sums of money have been ex-
pended in this way, to say nothing OF the
lives which have been lost.
Now, the question comes up on the
other side. There Is no denial Of the fact

solution Of The Negro Question.

1t has recently been announced that
the negroes of the south are turning
from land tenure TO wage earning. Not
on the plantations. The movement is
from the plantations to the mines and
still more to the towns One million
negroes are already in the towns of the
south above 1000 in population, and
this, it is predicted, is the first long step
on the way to the cities of the north.
A vast urban proletariat is about to be
created. The black belt is to be vacated.
The black emigrant will pass out, and
the white immigrant will come in
This through no compulsion. The black
tenant farmer is failure. He seeks to
better his condition. He is capable only
OF mere muscle work. The mines want
him, and still more the cities want
him; hence, the north wants him, for in
the north are the great cities. The line
OF least resistance for the colored man
lies away from the plantations, partly
for social, but mainly for economic rea-
sons.
Thus by a voluntary and economic
displacement and diffusion of the negro
the race problem Of the south will be
solved, and q new agricultural black
belt will be secured. No new race prob.
lem will be given to the north, because
in no one place is the negro likely to
reach dominant percentage. The negro
in anything under IL per cent diffusion
will create no race difficulty. Moreover,
the negro is best leveled up industrially
and otherwise when he has the maxi
mum Of contact with the white mans
higher standards. So this change is
best, not only for the south, but for the
negro and for the entire country, and
the only thing required is "laissez
faire. Yale Review.

Predictions of Harmony In the
Next Administration.
THE OLIVE BRANCH FOR TOM REED

Definite Policy OF the "Advance Agent of
Prosperity'-He Is a Peacemaker-Har-
mony 'Twixt White House and Both Ends
of Congress.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 1.-[Special. l-Presi-
dent Elect Mckinley, according to dis
patch from Canton which appeared in a re.
cent issue of leading Republican papar Of
Philadelphia, expects to have war with
congress on his hands and will show them
that he is good fighter. +" There is no ius
tihcation for this assertion. 1 told Won in
one OF my dispatches that Major Mckinley
hoped to have the most pleasant and peace
iui relations with both branches of con-
gress and that he was laying out his adj
ministrativo policy to that end. What I
said then-and that was three or four
weeks ago--has been confirmed by every
movement made on the political chess
board. MIR. Mckinley, with sagacity
born OF long experience in public life at
the national capital, has from the day of
his election till the present time endeayored
to prepare the way for harmonious rela-
tons both with the house and the SENATE
1t will not be his fault II he fails to keep
the peace between the White House and
both ends Of the capitol.
Mark Hanna's Olive Branch.
In the first place, the president elect has
sought tn gather around him the leaders in
both houses. He asked Governor Dingley
to visit him at Canton and rendered the
Maine congressman the secretaryship of
the treasury, which has been practically
though not formally accepted Governor
Dingley Is the leader of the house, actually
as well as nominally. He Is the intimate
friend and confidential adviser of Speaker
Reed. In choosing Dingley for the treas
ury department Major Mckinley know he
was securing the cordial support and as
sistance OF q man who has now and will
continue to have great weight at the SOUTH
ern end OF the United States capitol. No
other man could do more toward maintain
Ing peaceful relations between the White
House and the popular branch or toward
securing prompt action on measures which
Affected the administration policies.
More than this, when Mr.. Hanna was in
washington he virtually rendered the olive
branch to Speaker Reed. There was no
formal Interview between the two men,
ana Mr.. Reed did not invite confidential
conversation, but their relations were pleas
ant, and the Significance of the call IA to be-
found In tho motive which prompted 10,
not In its results. When Mr.. Hanna walked

accomplished filed shot, and has shot
big game in every section of this con-
tinent. Mr.. Merrill is not a stranger
to the sportsmen of San Antonio for
he has spent his winters here for sew
eral years and is a welcome visitor.
Charley Budd of Des Moines, is quite
ill at the st. James, and it is hardly
probable that he will be able to take
part in the tournament, much to the
regret of every one, for he is one of
the most popular of the many shooters
gathered here.
Johnnie Mackie, who with Tom KEEL
Ter and Jack Parker, complete the
strong trio who represent the Peters
Cartridge company, and Kink Smoke
less Powder company, of Cincinnati,
is an example of what can be accom-
plished by practice at trap shooting.
Mr.. Mackie attended the last Midwin-
ter as a novice and now stands in line
with the cracker jacks" and gives
them all good game.
Charley Willard, of the Colts Patent
Fire Arms company, is another popular
representative of the trade, who has
come to participate in the sport and
incidentally boom his popular fire arms
The Colt pistol is too we'll known to
Texans to need much booming, but
nevertheless Mr.. willard is a well
come visitor.
Paul Litzke, of Little Rock, is here to
report the shoot for Forest and Stream
and it goes without saying that his
journal will have a faithful and con-
else report Of the tournament; Mr.
Litzke is valuable aid to the manage
ment, and, no one is better qualified
to handle a big shoot than he.
There is a good natured rivalry be-
tween the shooters quartered at the
Menger and those at the st. James,
and the question as to who is the next
live bird champion, is freely discussed.
Charley Grimm is the favorite at the
St. James and the Mengerites are
eqaully divided between him and Jem
Elliot. Each holds a championship
trophy and II is more than likely that
a big match will be made to decide the
question. II a match is made it is
likely to be shot at Chicago or New
York and it will attract a great crowd,
for it will settle the long discussion
and establish a real champion.
