LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
REPUBLICAN GAINS OR LossEs7
AN OBSERVER WHO THINKS THE PARTY
is CALLED UPON TO FACE
SERIOUS SITUATION.


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune has long been the law ana
gospel TO me in matters political, and was
glad to see the strong and effective support
which it gave to the Government last summer
during the war. when the President was vicious
Iy attacked by the opposition press. I have read
The Tribune more carefully than ever since
things began TO GO wrong at Washington as to
the care of our soldiers in the field the scarcity
of medical supplies. the issue of bad beer inc
tender treatment of General Eagan. and the un-
friendly treatment OF that splendid soldier Gen
eral Miles and that old war dog. Admiral Bunce'
who. with Schley trained so large part of the
Navy in gunnery and seamanship. l am glad
to see that The Tribune does not close its eyes
to the serious condition of things in the Republi-
can party. But trust you will pardon me for
saying that / unprepared FOR your remark,
in the editorial The Political Outlook to-
day. about remarkable Republican gains" In
the elections of 1898
The Tribune keeps track Of the drift Of public
opinion. / have no doubt. Nevertheless II
understand the facts and The Tribune Almanac
correctly. we lost twenty-eight Congressman
last year Certainly that will not be called a
gain" remarkable or otherwise
In the fall elections Of 1898 l saw no proof
that the Democratic States were incnng tow
ard the Republican faith. And in the other
States find that The Tribune Almanac does not
show any general Republican gain in the plural
tiles. Kindly glance over the Enclosed figures.

A WHOLESOME NEGRO
PRESS.

We must pause briefly to com
mend the general improvement, in
tone and appearance of the negro
press throughout the country
From nearly every state, from
nearly every community where the
colored man is found, alocal paper
finds "habitation and q name. !"
frequently they are small and un-
pretentious, but the main idea
that of madness and q conscien-
tons search for the TRUTHS faith
fully presented. They exert a
wholesome influence wherever pub
lished and are gradually elevating
the literary and moral standard of
our people. They check the ag-
gressiye misrepresentation to
which our race is 30 ruthlessly sub
jected, for a malicious lie cannot
survive when 800 sturdy negro
journals rally to the defense of the
accused. Nor can fraud flourish
when as many voices are raised in
dennnciation.
No greater pleasure falls to our
lot than perusing the bright col
umns of our hundreds of eek.
changes. The exercise Is both
duty and liberal education, plac-
ing rs in heart TO heart sympathy
with our brethren in all parts of
this broad land, the West Indies
and Africa. The negro press is
the bulwark of our advancing civil
hzation. As long as it Is scholar
", brave and unsubsidized, our
race cannot remain a despised APP
pendage to our own soil. Long
may the negro press Wayel Il
