Mr. Bailey as n Leader.

on personal lines. 1t will be the field
against Mr. Bailey. and the Texans per-

questions will draw the fire of the opposi-

age at Is to 1, he opposes national expan-
sion, and he has said as severe things
about the conduct of the war with Spain
Es the next man. Being able thus to read
his title clear as a democrat, he can bid
farewell to every fear on that score The
man chosen must be an orthodox party
man. No trimmer or tIght-rope walker
can hope for the place. So why not Mr..
Bailey?
II is said that Mr.. Bailey is too young for
leadership That point is not well taken
Mr.. Bailey is young, but in our affairs no
man of thirty-five. with half dozen years
OF conspicuous public service to his credit.

men have always cut figure with u.s. The

as to the leader. According to the verdict
of the country, twice rendered, the party
of the Chicago platform is not wise party
So why be SO eXacting of Mr.. Bailey as to
wisdom? If he is not wise, he is undoubt-
edly representative.
The jokers will have their fling, and they
make target of Mr.. Baieys raiment.
They fire into what they describe as his
expansive shirt 'front.' and pin his coat
tails down with quips This sort of thing
amuses. but it does no harm. Nine times
out of ten 1t is not intended to injure. The
really effective joker is not malicious. He
oftener helps to make than to break
public man. and works with that conscious
ness. Public men are glad of his attentions,
and some court them. Some even reward
them. Lord Beaconsfield, who was always
a generous man, pensioned in the end the
cartoonist who had ridiculed him for forty
years in Punch. Mr.. Bailey may initiate
this illustrious example if he ever comes
to power. and by bestowing clerkshfps or
secretaryships on some of his pursuers tap
their flow of praise and stop their flow of
blame.
The fight when it is fairly on will be a
very pretty one. Mr.. Bailey does not lack
fighting qualities. and he is very ambitious.
He has ability, character. political and
personal courage, and no man so equipped
is easily snuffed out in our politics. He is
likely to give his rivals a brisk run for
their money.

Gossip From Pnris.

1t is cause for regret but not for surprise
that outside discussion in Paris of the
peace negotiations should from the start
nave turned so much on the money fea-
lures involved Large blocks of Spanish
securities are held in France and the value
of these has been a constant theme for
much of the writing that has been done
Parties in interest have been kiting CUFF

now the debt of the Philippines is put for

justers, taking thought only of damaged
goods and of money losses. The change of
sovereignty over the conquered territory
and other such questions are never referred
to.
Nothing of this of course was within the
calculation Of the French government
when the invitation to meet in Paris was
issued. Nothing of this has any official
encouragement or sanction. 1t is some
thing which could not have been provided
against. Harpies and jobbers will gather
where pickings are on the horizon, and
they would have gathered elsewhere as
they have gathered at Paris, with big
money" supposed to be at stake
The invitation of the French government
was cordial and unselfish, and it was ac-
cepted without question or suspicion. The
commission is proceeding, according to off,

a National Occasion.

President McKinley's promise given to the
committee of citizens who waited on him

annual message to the proposed centennial

government to Washington places that
project on a most satisfactory basis and
forecasts its certain success. The estab-
HShmcnt of the national machinery of gov
eTnment within the District, not exceeding
ten miles square, chosen for the purpose
marked the beginning of the period of per-
manent administration from which devel-

viOus 10 this event the government had
been a temporary, transient affair in its

There is every reason, therefore, for the

as it was disclosed today to the committee

that the centennial be celebrated with ap-

President Mckinley doubtless appreciates
fully the opportunity which such a cele-

citizens of all sections to the wonderful
growth and development of the country
during the first hundred years of its def

No Comparison Possible.
From the New York Tribune.

What twadde is all this attempting to
draw contrasts between the management of
the navy and of the army in the late war
to the diScredit of the latter, Of course the
navy got along better than the army be-
cause 1t was complete in all its principal
elements at the outset, while the army had
chiefly to be improvised out of volunteers
at short notice. If we had had a standing
army adequate to the needs of the nation
in war, as we had standing navy, it would
doubtless have got through the campaign
with no more bitches and mismanag cement
than the navy had. To expect a hastily or
ganiZed body of raw recruits to behave as
well as disciplined and experienced body
of veterans is the height of injustice and
absurdity.

Hot Shot for North Carolina.
1rom the Philadelphia Press.


One of the first things the next House OF
Representatives should do is to expel John
ID. Bellamy, who has been returned as elect
ed from the Wilmington, NC, District. Bel
iamy was one of the leaders of the mob
in Wilmington which sacked and burned a
printing office belonging to colored man,
and which then foully murdered a number
of colored men and took possession of the
city government. The city officials, nearly
all white men, were compelled under pen
atty OF death to resign and the leaders OF
the murdcrous mob are now exercising the
duties of the regularly elected officials
Congress will disgrace itself to permit one
of the leaders in that Infamous work to sit
as member and participate in making laws
which he defidntly disregards. 1t should be
remembered that newspaper readers rarely
get dispassionate account of these muir
derous outrages on coored men. The ac-
counts sent north nearly all come from
southern democratic newspaper offices,
where pains are taken to misrepresent the
cOlored men and conceal the worst iniuuities
or the democratic mobS.

vided both are equally feasible. At any
rate, the government should not permit it
self to be made the tool of adventures and
Spectators who are banded together to
eXtort money from it. If the Nicaragua
congress thinks it has played smart" on
Uncle Sam it may wake up to realize the
fact that it has lost the opportunity to Sc
cure the expenditure of a large sum of
American money within its borders.

Conservative Advice.

Elsewhere in today's issue appears a let
ter from one Of the most thoughtful of the
capitals colored citizens, Mr.. Kelly Miller,
who discusses the so-called negro prob
| lem with such a breadth of view that
his comment is worthy of close study. Mr.
Miller takes the ground that human condi-
tions make impossible a present fultilment
of the theoretical equality which has been
ordained by the written constitution of the
land He believes that the negro's bright
est future lies along the line of the least
resistance, that is, by a voluntary aban-
donment for a time of his political suf-
frages and his devotion to the arts of peace
and the acquisition of the education and
the culture necessary to enable him to
take his place in the American system as
a political factor. This, in brief is the
advice which this conservative representa-
tive of his race advances now to his
brethren. Assuredly, the negro has suffer-
ed sorely as a result of his sudden en-
franchisement, and it is a grave question
in the minds of many who advocated his
liberation whether it was the course of true
humanity to place him at one move upon
d theoretical equality with those who had
for generations been his masters The
present problem, however although it may
grow largely out of this action, must be
considered apart from its beginnings 1t is
living question, vitalIy affecting the peace
of the land the welfare of a large fraction
of the population and the prestige of the
constitution. The negroes are divided in
their beliefs. many of them asking de-
manding, protection in the exercise of their
elective privileges. even at the point of the
bayonet others, like Mr.. Miller deprecat-
ing the forming of an acute issue and
urging temporary acceptance of the sad
conditions which surround the negro's vote
with the danger of death. Between these
extremes are many shades of opinion. and
the controversy grows in complexity as it
continues without practical steps toward
definite solution. a heavier burden of re-
sponsibility in solving the problem rests
upon the whites than upon the negroes
and Mr.. Millers letter, most effectively
from its very moderation, shows how
miserably We Of the white race have failed
to meet this responsibility. The advice of
calm leaders of thought among the ne
grOes, such as the present letter from Mr.
Miller shows him to be, tends to lessen the
burdens which now rest heavily upon the
negroes. the white men of the south and
the general government in its relations TO
the problem.
