SOME SERIOUS CHARGES.

Attorney General McKenna's con-
sruction of section % of the tariff bill
bids fair to become almost as famous
as the decision of the supreme court
on the income tax case In comment
ing upon the opinion of the attorney
general at the time 1T was rendered
The Herald said:
1T seems to be a construction in
conformity with the general cutlery
against it; had it met With popular APP
prevail it is easy to believe that it
would have been otherwise"
If what the Washington correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Ledger says re-
gardinG the history of the opinion, as
reported at Washington, be true, then
it was changed so as to conformRo the
popular cutlery against it. u NJ c."
the correspondent, says that Senator
Elkins and others interested in secur-
ing legislation along the lines Indicated
in section 90, criticise adversely the
opinion. The history of the case as
given by the Ledger's correspondent,
is to the effect that "tIe opinion frst
prepared was submitted to the presl-
dent and discussed in cabinet council,
ard the allegation is that 1T was
changed to meet the political demands
Of geographical section whose COM
mercial interests would be seriously
affected unless the change demanded
should be made. 1t is reported that the
attorney general made vigorous PRO
test against any change being made in
the opinion; that his objections we're
finally overcome; and that, after con-
siderable delay. which was consequent
upon the alterations to be made, an
opinion was prepared which met the
approval of the president. and thus the
benefit Of the doug>t, as to the force
and effect Of the section, was given
against the government"
That is a very serious matter ard
the charges contained therein should
either be subStantiated by those "a
sponsibie for them or disavowed. I'm
portant as is the section, and various
as have been the views expressed about
1T, they all sink into fnsignffcance cen
pared with the fault that it IS charged
that the construction to be placed upon
a law by the executive branch OF the
government was changed to quieten
popular cutlery against 1T. The case is
SO serious that a disavowal from some
authoritative source should be forth
coming. If laws can be construed to
suit the clamor Of the hour where is
the safety of the people?

The non-partisan committee is not

some Of them are trying to prevent his

the nation There is no warrant for
such lugubrious view. No trouble
would come of such opposition except
for the insistency of Republican politi-
clans that the negros be officially recog-
nized- This insistency comes now as
q matter of politics, pure ana simple.
A few years back it was something of
a fanaticism growing out Of the over
stopping of the abolition sentiment and
the hatred OF the southern whites that
came of the war Now it is urged as
the reward OF political heelers for SER
vice done IN national conventions. Ne
groes could have all the rights neces-
sary to their happiness without be-
coming the governing class in politics,
and 1t adds nothing 10 the advancement
OF the race to put its members in oftice
where they will be in obnoxious contact
with white people.
The appointment Of negroes to office
in the south is peculiarly irritating
because it is the exercise of an outside
authority in contravention Of the we'll
known sentiments of the southern peo-
pie. IT seems like q taunt, an effort to
humiliate the southern whites. OF this
has come the implacable opposition in
the south to the Republican party, and
that opposition will be revived and in
tensified whenever the policy is re-
neWed.
The sentiment that would abolish
race antagonism proposes something
the world has never known, and that
the laws of nature viii never permit.
This shows how keen is the feeling
of the south on this most important
question Given like conditions in the
north. and there is no doubt but that
there would be the same prejudice
against the negro race that exists in
the south It is an easy matter to be
unprejudiced where there is nothing to
arouse prejudice. This country GER
tainly has q race problem on its hands,
a problem whose dimensions increase
each day and one that will eventually
pervade all parts of the country. And
no man can now see its solution.
