new form. 1t is needless to de-
scribe how there is in some of the
Southern States, on the part OF the
whites, constant struggle for
mastery, carried on under the plea
OF necessity, by means which i'll com
port with the principles of demo.
cratic government. There is a
chronic race conflict, breaking out
in old or new shapes every day, and
nobody can tell what. the final con-
sequences will be. What is said
here is not inspired by race preju-
dice; but we have to recognize facts
which nobody can deny.
AL these conditions of difficulty APP

Gus proportion. It's climate is tropical.
It's population of Germanic blood is IN
fnitesimally small; the political ascend
ency of IL depends on force; its achite
people are preponderantly Portuguese
Of low order. It's principal labor can
not possibly be done except By people
suited to the tropical cimate--that is,
not by whites. Government on truly
democratic basis is therefore ont of the
question. If the OUTWARD form of a re-
public be preserved ii can be only an

necessarily, the con,pletest attainable
subtraction Of the laborimq population to

1t. Nothing can be more-certain than
that, Uhen this republic has once cut
loose from its conservative traditional
policy, and started on the course of adj
Uenturous aggrandisement, there uCiH be
many more tropical conquests of a SINH
lar kind.
In the face Of all this, is it not
time that patriotic Americans
should soberly ask themselves
whether the race problems we al

LONDON, Aug. 20.-The Daily Ora
phic publishes the following from
Berlin: General Stuart Woodford,
the newly appointed Minister to
Spain from the United States, has
has been instructed by President
Mckinley to ascertain the limit OF
neutrality Of the European powers
in the event that the United States
should decide on an offensive policy
against Spain, and he has been in
communication with the various
American Ambassadors on the sub
ject.
Col. John Hay, the American Am
bassador to Great Britain, has re-
ceived no encouragement from Lord
Salisbury. M. Hanotaux, the French
Foreign Minister, has refused to
discuss the matter with Horace
Porter, the American Ambassador
to France, and for some days avoid
ed granting an audience to General
Woodford.
As last source General Wood
ford and General Porter telegraph
ed for Mr.. White, who has joined
them. Mr.. White, who is the
cleverest American diplomatist in
Europe, knows better than any
one in President McKinley's Cab
met the futility of the step now
being taken. He has avoided even
mentioning it to the German Gov
eminent, and went to Paris resolved
to do all in his power to dissuade
General Woodford and General
Porter from any course but one OF
moderation toward Spain.
