EDITORIAL NOTES.

Jas. Corbett's father has committed
murder-We always thought that blood
would tell.
Mr.. j. E. Whitaker, of Boone county,
has received the republican nomination
for Judge in his district. Mr.. Whitta-
ker will make a just and honorable
judge, and we congratulate the district
upon his nomination. He will be elect
ed without doubt.
The Fort Dodge Chronicle and the
Denison Bulletin do not agree. The
Bulletin speaks disparagingly of the
''leprous isles of the Pacific, while the
Chronicle is kicking because Mckinley
did not demand the whole of the Phili-
ppines. Will some one please tell the
democrats where they are at?
1t looks now as if Crawford would
not have candidate for Congress this
year. "Alas, poor Yorick.''
Dispatches from Indianola Indicate
that the presidency of Simpson college
is to he offered to Rev. j. B. Harris.
Denison people will be rejoiced to learn
of Rev. Harms deserved recognition.
He is man of fervid eloquence and eN-
allied character, and he will add greatly
to the influence and power of Simpson
College.
In view of the vigorous protest being
made to the Washington authorities by
Gov. Shaw and Adj. Gen. Byers con-
corning the condition of Camp Chica-
manga, it would seem that adverse
criticism of the governor is rather ILL
timed. II the conditions are half as
bad as reported however, we do not
blame the boys for kicking whenever
and at whomsoeyer they get chance.

THE PRESIDENTS POLICY.

The London Times, that citadel of
ancient British prejudice and hostility
to everything American, makes most
interesting comment on the war.
After praising President Mckinley for
the good sense aud moderation he has
shown during the last six months. the
Times goes on to say:
Ii foreign observers might nersnma
to have an opinion upon his conduct II
would probably be that President Nc
klnley. has kept his finger constantly
upon the national pulse and has known
how to stimulate and direct national
Thought without too markedly Outrun.
ming its movement. EVERYTHING has
been done in the open, every move has
been discussed as possibility ali over
the United States before the govern.
ment was irrevocably committed one
way or the other and the result of the
cautious, tentative policy is that where
he stands at this moment the president
mas the whole American people at his
back.
Coming from the London Times, this
is remarkable praise, not only of the
American president, but of the Ameri-
can people. Here we have the tory of
tories noticing that whole people were
taken into the confidence of the govern
ment even when considering the most
delicate questions, and that the result
was good. Is there another people in
the world which could be trusted in
this manner? Is there another nation.
practically consulted as to the details
OF war policy and the items of a treaty
Of peace, which would have considered
and decided as we, without clamor or a:
suggestion of angry faction? Does it
not show that an argument often made
against democracies is altogether I'M
founded and that it is possible to SUBJ
NIT to free people, educated in the
use OF free institutions, the most deli
cate questions and get as safe and
sound an answer as would come from
the sagest counsellor?
The cautious, tentative policy of
President Mckinley for a time did not
suit the impulsive and the over enthu-
siastic, and at one time, just before the
beginning of tie war, it looked as if he
was to lose the popular confidence; but
since, even those who in the first in
stance were disposed to critlcise, have
now remained to praise. The caution
is seen to have been the natural pru-
dence of a man who thought long and
earnestly before he acted, not coward
ice of mere vacillating indecision. Dur
ing March and the early part of April,
many declared in haste: 'sMcKinley is
rabbit" who now made no sham of
admitting that they were entirely
wrong. When the war once began, the
president became firm and vigorous.
and although it may be possible to SO.
lect particular things that might have
been done better, the general verdict is
that the present incumbent of the white
house is worthy of sitting in the chair
of Washington, of Jackson, of Lincoln
and of Cleveland. An honest, high
minded gentleman, William Mckinley
has done his duty as he saw it, not
spectacularly, nor under calcium
light, but modestly and cautiously. be-
ing sure he was right before he went
ahead.-Des Moines Leader.

plaCeS SO called educational require |
ment. The voter must not only be able
to read and write but must be able to
construe the constitution of the state.
Or course this latter requirement can
be made easy or difficult according as it
is or is not desirable to the election
Judges that the man should vote. This
part of the law was framed to effectual-
~ wipe out the mass of the negro vote;
but while effecting this it was found
that it also shut out large proportion
OF the white vote. 10 remedy this it
was further provided that no person
who was himself, or whose ancestor
had been citizen of the state at date
prior to the war, should be affected by
the literary requirement. OF course
prior to the war the blacks were slaves
not citizens, SO the test is applied to
them, but not to the ignorant, vicious
and unutterably lazy "pore white
trash" Such is the law framed by the
friends ~ of the common people of the
state of Mississippi. Such is the act of
that same southern party whose north
end is shouting itself hoarse in behalf
of The laboring men and the common
people. We greatly regret tina. the
supreme court looking more to the
letter than to the spirit of the constitu-
tion has legalized this law.
The Baltimore Sun goes into ecstacies
over this decision and declares that the
way is now open for every southern
state to wipe out the curse of negro
suffrage.
*x*
This is one of the reasons why we
state that to govern others we must
first govern ourselves. We must not
allow the spirit of the amendment
which it cost so many lives to frame to
be brought into ridicule and disuse.
We must do away with dilettanteism
in politics and set ourselves sternly to
the task of adjusting our internal at
fairs, of seeing that justice is done,
that the constitution is honored and
that the beam is taken from our own
eye before we strive to evict the notes
from the eyes of others.
*x*
| Under the new arrangement in Miss
issippi we wish to ask in what way are
the negros of that state better off than
were the Cubans, the Porto Ricans or
the Philippos under Spanish rules
Education is forbidden them in so far
as possible. Justice is denied them
either in the courts or out of them.
They are taxed without representation.
They have no voice in their own gov
eminent. In what way, we repeat. is
the negro of Mississippi less subject to
oppression and injustice than was the
native of Cuba?

The foregoing computations are based
upon values shown by real estate rec
ords, buildings, merchandise, railways,
and the circulating medium of each ma
ton. He notes the fact that, while
most European nations have attained
their growth, the United States is ar-
parently at the threshold of an indus
trial development which it has never
dreamed of before, According to MIR.

DIPHTHERIA PREVALENT.
Fifteen New Cases Reported Yes.
terday-Physicians Say Cases of
1t Are Always Numerous at
This Time of Year.

The continued prevalence of diph-
iberia is occasoning no little comment
among physicians in all parts of the
city. Fifteen new cases were reported
to the board Of health yesterday, prob
ably cases which developed duTng Fri
day. Saturday and Sunday, while six
teen new cases We're reported during
last week.
Although the disease prevails every
year at this season, so many new cases
within so short a period is unusual and
it Is possible that physicians, stirred
by the recent excitement over the No.
% school cases. have been more alert
than common to make their reports as
required by law.
The fifteen new cases reported yes
terday are distributed as follows:
Providence, Z: Green Ridge, central
city and Bellevue, 2 each; West Side
and South Side, / each. Last weeks
new cases were: Bellevue. 8; West Side
and central city, each: Providence,
Green Ridge and South Side, l each.
However, no deaths from the disease
during this period have been reported
A well-known physician. in discuss
ing the disease with Tribune reporter
yesterday, said: 1T is a mistake to
make any special comment on diph-
iberia Just now. 1t is a disease infec-
tious and contagious and consequently
common at all times of the year and
always very general at this season. |
have no doubt that every other case
reported as diphtheria is nothing more
than tonsilts or something similar.
Why the cases are reported as diph-
iberia, is something | have my opinion
about but do not care to discuss"
DR.. W. T.. Allen, health officer of the
city, said last night in response to a
Tribune reporters inquiry: mo, there
is no significance to be attached to the
many cases of diphtheria. 1t is always
prevalent at this time of the year and
is no more general now than in past
years at this season. There is posi-
lively no reason, excuse or cause for
putting anything in your paper about
it,"
