A SENSIBLE NEGRO.

~he negro problem Is the most DIM
cult and dangerous one that any people
ever were confronted with in their do
nestle affairs. Ia the present state Of
evolution Of the two races ii Is an abso-
lutte impossibnity for the two races IN
the Southern states 10 live together upon
terms OF social equality. IL is just as
impossible as converting night into day
or Of union between fire and water.
The thing cannot be done. and no one but
an idle dreamer-and a very weak-mind-
Cd one. al that-would expect it.
Yet we find the constitutional law OF
the land placing the negro as a citizen
In all respects upon the same footing as
the white man. and 81 is hardly sur
prising with this as a fact negroes should
assert right 20 free intercourse with
TIE whites as their equals and familiars.
IL is quite natural that they should have
such aspirations. hut II negroes would
only reflect little they would know that
what they seek is impossible and that

LET US HAVE PEACE.

Hon. Tom Reed said I'm his speech al
Portland a few days ago that all over
the country there was a dearth of poll
tlcal feeling. for the reason that people
seemed to be pretty well satisfied with
the present conditions. We believe that
the people Of this country are DESTROYS
of peace. Not only Of cessation of
hostiliues with Spain, but rest from
agitation. political and otherwise. That
f. the reason that there is such dearth
of political feeling. We have had poll
tical agitation and unrest for the past
several years and business has suffered in
consequence.
But the people see that confidence IS
now being restored and that with the
calm comes better business. They be-
neve that the country is now on the eve
of great prosperity ana they are willing
10 give IL a chance. Let us have peace
I'm every quarter and we shall surely have
prosperity.

Fundamental principle OF Democracy Is
the rule OF the people ana as little inter
ference as possible on the part of the
government with the business transac-
tions OF life and with the private affairs
OF citizens. 1t is all summed NJ in that
great saying of Mr. jefferson that the
best governed people are the least gov
erned people
But that is strange doctrine TO Mr.
Bryan and TO others who have been rear
ed in Nebraska and the region around
about. They believe that the best gov

pie. and they cannot got 1t out OF their
heads that il IS incumbent upon the gov
eminent to exercise guardianship over

The nine regiments nearest to the CITY
