decided not to carry anything resembling
weapons and to behave quietly and
peaceably. At West Hazeiton, he said,
they met the sheriff and the deputies,
who pushed them around with guns and
hit several of them. One man, and the

Negroes south and Nortb.

In public letter, Governor Johnston,
of Alabama, asserts that every attempt
to subject Southern people to negro
domination will end in revolution,
either peaceful or bloody" that any
Federal interference, the expectation of
which has already brought disaster to
the colored people. can only excite re-
sentiment and increase discord; and that
it would be quite as reasonable to con-
slider whether the Federal Government
should not interfere in Illinois as in the
Carolinas.
This mention of Illinois suggests that
the Northern people are not SO free
from the same prejudice as to warrant
the Indignation that some Republican
newspapers express, not about the kill
ing of negroes, but their exclusion from
the exercise of their constitutional
rights. If we do not often hear of ne
groes refused entertainment at hotels,
restaurants, theaters. and other public
places in the North, it is only because
it is not often that the negroes offer op-
portunities. 1t is only short time since
there was a test applied in the city of
New York. A few well-dressed, we'll

said that negro official at Albany had
melted them to this effort, and he was
threatened with removal until he made
denial. 1t is true that there are no
separate cars for negroes in the North
as in the South, but it is also true that
as long as they concede the superiority
of the whites, the negroes are better
liked by the whites and are admitted to
closer relations with them in the South
than in the North. The Southern peo-
pie like to have them about and prefer
them to all other servants and labor
ers, not because they are more efficient,
but because they are more amiable and
because most Southerners have been
reared by negro nurses and among ne
gro children. Except under the condi-

1t is hardly moral for Vermont, Con-

to lure rich men from New York by the
promise of lighter taxes than are exacted
by the last named State. II is rare that a

A Sermon From Mexico.

We do not believe that either the Catholic or
the Protestant afirmers of the statement that
Christianity conduces 10 national success are
right. Certainly there have been great empires
and prosperous peoples long before Christianity
was known, and some of the most prosperous
modern nations have but a low and imperfect
type of Christianity. Christianity, as we see it
in the New Testament, does not offer as an ideal
the trust magnaate, the Siruar with his machine
guns, or the absorbing and dominating nation;
rather il offers for the worlds contemplation the
moneyless apostle, the humble and trusting
Christian, and presents for our alteration the Son
OF Man who had no place to lay His head.

Temperance Questions.
Frnm the Rrnnklrn EarleA

No little of the talk against stimulants has
been made by the people who knew no more than
babes of the actual conditions they talked about.
They took the old temperance tales OF T. S.
Arthur for their models and the statements and
statistics that served in his day supposed to
hold good now. That the excessive use OF alco-
holic drinks is evil nobody will deny. So is the
excess OF food, OF idleness OF reading, of reform
ing. An excess OF courage may be of the
most unfortunate things man can get himself
born with and may make OF him wrangling,
rufiling, bullying, intolerable creature. The re-
forms that prohibitionists propose always go
lamely because they founded largely upon mis-
takes and untruths.

The Importance of the utterances of The
Times London namesake are greatly
overrated, chiefly because its solemn pre-
tensions TO superhuman wisdom impose
on the people. Occasionally, however, 1t
expresses an opinion that is not unrea-
sonable-as when it says that the Kaiser S
abandonment of his proposed visit TO
Spain was to avoid irritating America.
1t was n thoughtful thing to do, and indi-
Gates that the Kaiser prefers the friend
ship OF America to its dislike. If his ad-
mirals who come into contact with our

The weather and Suicide.

According to New York contemporary, the
record of metropolitan suicides for four years
does not support the popular belief that heated
spells drive people TO self-destruction. The fact
Of the matter is, however, weather extremes do
kill off young and old whose vitality is below
par, as the mortuary lists during the prevalence
of hot and cold waves show. Whether or not
those weather extremes increase suicides can
only be determined, not by counting the causes
assigned, by noting the waves of suicide and
their relation to weather changes. As primary
cause the weather will, perhaps rarely be put

possible hot and cold waves may lead more

But whatever may be the outcome of the sensa-

was not principally on governor this year, but
against Quay and Quayism; not for or against
silver or tariff in Congress but against the ma
chine in this State As consequence there has
been an increase Of the Democratic Congressional
delegation. Another result is an anti-Quay
