IN A NUTSHELL.

The Philadelphia Record, in discussing
the Wilmington affair, says:
''Never was a worse political mistake
made In this country than when the re-
publican party, with the selfish view OF
securing permanent control of the South
ern States, armed the ignorant negro
population with the right OF suffrage.
The result has been to halt negro adj
vancement by making the white popu-
lation antagonistic as matter OF SELF
preservation. The southern people have
been made solidly anti-Republican. Ne
gro domination has proved intolerapie
where the experiment has been tried, ana
a dangerous floating vote has been ADDED
to the electorate in States in which the
negro population is but small per-
centage of the whole. After hundreds Of
years of slavery there should have been,
at least for the lifetime of two or three
generations, q season of probation 10 III
the African for the full exercise OF ire
rights of citizenship. Now, the poor ne
gro, without such an apprenticeship mas
10 wade In blood to gather in the spoiIs
of office to which he deems himself en-
titled. For the race riots in the South
there is no seeming help. They are de-
plorable, they are disgraceful But our
mistaken policy has made them lnevita-
BILE. The equality Of the two races mas
been established on paper, but IL can
not be maintained in practice. Inc
weaker race must bend to the stronger
This is a law that no act Of Congress
can repeal"
That's the whole case In a nutsheh.
No further comment is called for except
as to one statement in the Records para
graph. That statement is, that the race
riots in the South 'are disgraceful.
Touching this, 1t may be said that as the
Records own logic proves, for whatever
of disgrace attaches to race riots in the
South, the Republican party is response
BILE.

has given emphatic expression or MS
opinion that negroes ought to hold ONCE,
even where they have whites as subordi-
mates.
The President may desist from partici-
pating in the force-bIll project because
of other reasons. but It Is clear enough
that he thinks negroes ought to hold big
Offices in the South. Our view Is as dif-
ferent as possible from the Presidents.
We think the colored people ought to
leave politics alone. Politics have been
the cause Of nearly all OF their troubles,
and the reason of It is too deeply rooted
to be removed by any act of Congress.

II cost the Sultan of Turkey just one
million dollars to show Emperor William,
of Germany, the delights Of Constantine
pie, and the correspondent of the Chicago
Record says that "for man who is
broke and whose country is in the inter-
national pawnshop, the Oriental poten-
tate made a very good showing" 1t is
said by this same authority that the
German officers embraced and kissed the
Turkish officers and called them
brothers" The Emperor shook hands
with the Sultan so many times that 'he
emotional reporters of the East could not
keep the tally. and it was believed that
there was something more than courtesy
in the proceedings.
But for all this William did not meet
any of the numerous Mrs. Abdul Hands,
with whom the Sultan is so bounteousiy
supplied The Mohammedan law couio
not be set aside even for the great anu
only William. and when the man with
MANY mothers-in-law went in the mosque
the Emperor had to twirl his thumbs on
the outside and await his return. the
Kaiserin was much more fortunate, now
ever. and was allowed to visit the harem
where she exchanged courteses with
many of the royal ladies. The women
of the harem are not queens, 1t is true
but each one is legally welded to the
monarch, and as such. is entitled to the
courtesies of royalty. The members CT
this large feminine household were
scrupulously kept out of sight during the
ceremonies. but from afar they took an
active part in honoring the distinguished
visitors The 22d was the birthday ami
versary Of the Empress of Germany ana
she received many splendid bouquets from
the ladies Of the imperial harem'
and one Of especial beauty from inc
Valide Sultana, the first, and principal
wife of the Sultan. The Empress, when
she visited the harem, was compelled 10
converse with the inmates through the
medium of an interpreter, as the ladies'
are not educated in the foreign languages

upon receiving General Skaters tele-
gram concerning the killed and
wounded. Surgeon General Sternberg
Of the army called on General Van
Reypcn. the surgeon general OF the
navy, and the two held a long consul.
tation regarding the course to be
taken. Fortunately the ambulance
ship Solace Is now in the vicinity
Of General Skaters army, aud
she will be utilized for any encr.
gency cases which may arise. While
the navy ship Solace is designed pri.
marily for the use of the feet, she will
be put at the use OF the army when.
ever that may be necessary, and the
navy and army ships will be used in.
tcrchangeably. The Solace is fully as
well adapted for treating tho wounded
as her sister ship of the army, and has
accommodations for several hundred
men. When last heard of the Solace
was at Guantanamo bay, a short dis.
lance from the cable station from
which the dispatches are sent.
Hurried preparations are being made
by the war department to send to Gen.
eral Shafter the assistants in the med.
ical department which he asked for to
attend to those wounded in front OF
Santiago. The hospital ship Relief,
which has been undergoing a thorough
o~verhauling at New York, is about
ready to start for Santiago. She leaves
to-day. The Relief has been fitted out
in an admirable manner for the treat.
ment of the sick and wounded, and
every comfort possible will be pro-
vided for the unfortunates. There
is a surgeon in charge with n full
corps OF competent assistants and
n complete outfit for surgical work
in cases where this is neces.
sary. Accommodations for probably
500 persons have been provided, and in
addition there has been installed in
the ship n carbonating plant and an
ice manufacturing apparatus, which
has facilities for making n great deal
more than is needed aboard ship. The
surplus will be utilized in supplying
the hospitals ashore in the immediate
vicinity of the ships. OF course, the
greater number of cases of sickness
and wounds primarily will be treated
in the regimental and the division
hospitals, while the Relief will be
utilized to n great extent in bringing
back to the United States such cases OF
convalescents and the more serious
cases Of sickness which should be
brought here for treatment.

interest to communicate, but they
were not of a character that could bs

Tuesday, June %, via Hong Kong,
says: THE non-arrival of the Ameri.
can troops has grievously disappointed
Admiral Dewey, but the Americans
still count on celebrating the Fourth
of July in Manila. 1t is reported Ad.
miral Won Diedrichs sent two vessels
away on learning that America re.
garded his attitude as unfriendly. A
wholly improved feeling now exists.
The American officers express conf
dence in their ability to dispose of any
ships Spain can now send, but in view
of the alleged strength of Admiral
Camara's squadron, the wish is ex-
pressed that the Americans had at least
n battleship."
