THE RACF PROBLEM

Slavery is a thing of the past. We are all glad of it. We have now the race problem to settle and it is to be hoped that the free discussion of the question may lead fair minded men of all sections of the country to unite ill this work. Great injustice has been done the white man of the South. The typical master with his slaves was no worse and often much better than men of his kind in New England or else- where. He has been written down as a soulless tyrant, his property taken from him by force, placed under polit- fcal control of his former slave and Legrees sent down upon him, backed by the bayonets of his destroyers. Other campaign documents, some of them published in the Congressional Record from time to time, have been sent forth to discredit the white people of the South, and to promote the inter- ests of designing demagogues. The people of the north and east have been easily misled. Sectional prejudice has been strong with them. They have sympathized mostly with the negro of the South. They have manifested no care for the southern white man. They have misunderstood him and misrepre- sented him to the world. One thing is certain. The race question can never be settled fairly until the best people of all sections unite in an hon est effort to lift it out of politics, and to treat it without prejudice or pas- sion In order that this may be pos sible it is gratifying to observe that broader and fairer views are being talk en by the people of the north and east. Many of them are apparently coming to realize for the first time that much 1 of the trouble lies at their doors. In I the excitement of political campaigns, | stirred by able and interruptions dem- | agogues, resenting in many instances | slanderous filings from stumpers of the l same stripe in the South, they have been led to gulp down heroic doses of | fiction, the poison of politics and pas sion, and the bitterness has been in | their blood for generations. It is hardly necessary to explain that south ern people have also had in them a full share of acid and bitterness. They have not asked any quarter or sued | for any sympathy. The recent war with Spain has tended to bring the ] sections together for fairer confer ence. The fact that recent attacks on negroes have occurred in northern as well as southern States has tended to
 broaden the question for fairer consid- eration. Cooling time has helped to deprive hot-heads here and there of | much of their influence for evil The
 negro question is being considered on
 broader lines than ever before. It is
 to be hoped that this method may be
 pursued until some general plan is de-
 vised under which the citizen of color
 may be liberated from the unscrupu'
 lous manipulators who have used hin
 for more than thirty years and be pro- tected by law in all of his rights-Gal' l weston News.

MAYORS OF THE STATE.
Wll Meet in the City of Hartford To-
 morrow.


 The Mayors association of Connecti- cut will meet in Hartford tomorrow The association meetings are held once in three months. The last one took place in Bridgeport. Mayor Thomas D.. Barlow of Waterbury is the president of the association, Mayor William J. H. Bohannan of Stamford, vice presi- dent, Mayor E. l.. Heath of Rockville, secretary, and Mayor Lucius H. Fuller of Putnam, treasurer. The executive committee consists of Mayors +. B. Farnsworth of New Haven, Thomas P. Taylor of Bridgeport and Cyrus G. Beckwith of New London.
 As the meeting tomorrow will be the only regular one before the opening of the general assembly, it is important that all members of the association should be present and decide on what action, if any, is to be taken by the mayors of the state concerning munich pal legislation at the approaching ses- sion of the general assembly. Judge McConville, the city attorney of Hart ford will be present with the may ors. The chief executive of that city will spare no pains in making the visit an event of special interest to the may ors who attend from all localities in the state. He will give them the most con siderate attention and accompany them to various places of public interest in the city.

WALLINGFORD HAPPENINGS
SPECIAL TOWN AND BOROUGH MEETINGS TO BE HELD TO-DAY.

 The special town meeting to be held In the town hall this afternoon at o'clock is for the purpose of issuing new bonds at rate of interest not eX- ceeding per cent, the total amount of bonds being S6O,OO0. Of this sum $35,- GOO is in bonds of S1,0OO each which ma ture June 15, 1893, and fifty bonds of $500 each maturing January l, 1904,
 The call for the special borough meet ing this evening is as follows:
 There will be a special meeting of the electors of the borough of Walling- ford in the town hall Monday evening, December 12, 1898, for the purpose of discussing and taking such action as may be deemed advisable concerning the alteration or amendment of the present charter or procuring city charter in place of the present borough charter from the next general assem- bly,.

 There was another lively polo game in the armory Saturday night between the Stamfords and Wallingfords, and it resulted in a victory for Wallingford by a score of to 1. The visitors came near being shut out, as the one goal made was questionable one, as the ball came out with the netting, but they were credited with the goal The score was as follows:
 Summary: Score-Wallingford 4, Stamford 1. Stops-Curley 21, Lee 32, Foul-Kennedy. Referee-Arlie Latin am.
 The Bridgeports will play here to- night.
 Another familiar form has passed away. that of J. w. Lanes faithful old Newfoundland dog, Colonel that has for the past ten years been known fa- vorably all over the town. He had out lived his usefulness and was an object of pity. Captain Tony Smith was the executioner and a rifle ball ended the life of the dog.
 Now there Is an element in the bor- ough that is deeply interested, or ap- pear to be, in making a city out of Wal lingford and some even aspire to the honor of being it's first mayor. There is no disputing the fact that Walling- ford Is progressing, but it seems to be little premature to try and force the city question just yet.
