The Color Line IN Baltimore

Since the republicans nave been in
control Of the municipal government of
Baltimore the negro has given a great
deal of trouble and the whites have
determined to MO longer tolerate the
state Of affairs that has existed. When
Professor Guy Carlton Lee, the CORE
spondent of The Baltimore Sun, was
here in November he told us that the
color line would be drawn in the Monu-
mental City when the municipal cam
paign came on, n we see that he
knew what he was talking about. The
following is from yesterdays Char
lotte Observer:
1.-THE municipal campaign now IN
progress in Baltimore, is a very warm
one. The issue is the same as that upon
which the las campaign was fought
and won in this tate-Whit suprem-
acy Under republican rule Baltimore
has had trouble with the negro. That
city has had a taste Of what
communities have endured and is re-
belling against it. Baltimore is a white
mans city, is the democratic slogan
and upon this issue the democrats hope
to win control of the city for the next
-four years. A press dispatch says that
the nomination by the republicans Of
a negro for city council, negro rowdy-
ism, the gerrymandering of certain pre-
cinctS and wards so that the black
vote outnumbers the white, have caus-
ed the color line to be as sharply drawn
in Baltimore as in Richmond or any
other southern city. When at the big
ratification meeting one of the demo-
cratic clubs entered the hall bearing a
transparency: This is q White Mans
City, the vast crowd went wild. The
cry, taken up by the thousands Of men
on the floor, was echoed by the women
in the galleries, and This is a White
Mans City at once became the cry of
the democrats.
~Ex-Governo Brown, president of the
democratic association, DIS arranging .
Tor a mass meeting of the ladies' of Bal
tlmore in FOrd's opera house, at which
distinguished speakers will explain the
issues involved. Mr.. Brown believes
that the ladies could exercise a. very !!
decided influence in the campaign. The
idea of women taking any sort of a /
hand in municipal politics is repulsive |
to southern sentiment, and the fact |
that such a step is contemplated in Bal |
shows the intensity Of the feel |
ing now prevailing in nat city. Balti- |
moreS experience with the negro is !
only the experience of Wilmington and /
hundreds of other southern towns re-
peated over again, and of course the
white men will win. They ought to be I
able, however, to show that Baltimore
Is a white mans city, without having
a resort to the proposed 'massmeeting
for ladies'"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Richmond Dispatch quotes Mr.. II.
NJ. Scott, Of Northampton, as saying that
he does not want Bryan renominated in
1900. Il have nothing TO say against Mr..
Bryan" said he $50 far a. honesty or
ability IS concerned. He is one Of the
greatest campaign orators the country
ever produced But do not like his po-
ltioaI principles" Mr.. Scott Is a promi-
nent Democrat, has served several terms
in the Legislature. and was an eector at
large from Virginia in 1896. Just what
has brought about this change he does
not say. but we can readily imagine, and
we are fully persuaded that there are many
more in Virginia Just like him.
A New York correspondent says: 1.-The
furry in Wall street caused no disturb
ance to the business Of the country. Not
one mill was closed by it. Not a single
workman lost his lob by it. The only SUI
ferers were the spectators I'm stocks on
margins. They lost heavily, but the man
who goes into Wall street does so with
his eyes wide open TO the risks involved"
The furry In Wall street is a sign Of
prosperity. II is caused by the squeeze"
in money and that means that the money
of the country Is employed In trade thus
leaving the spectators on short fatiOns.

CHANGE or You ARE LOST.

In his antitrust speech at Chicago, Mr.
VIM. J. Bryan said that he took very
little stock in the argument defending
trusts that they reduced the price Of the
commodity 10 the consumer. lie had no
liberation for the theory that placed the
dollar above the man. That there were
objections TO the trust that set him
against them whether they cheapened
commodities or not and the principal one
Of these was that they led on TO mon
archy This was not all Mr.. Bryan said
In depreciation of the dollar. At several
points he took occasion to intimate his
scorn for those who seemed to think a
countrys well being was inseparably
bound up in the prosperity that turns upon
the dollar.
This IS an entirely new form Of Mr..
Bryan's demenua. From the time he was
made the Democratic nominee for the
Presidency until he left the army Of the
United States. we heard nothing from him
but essays upon the dollar and the essen
tial necessity that the people should have
an abundance OF dollars. The dollar
seemed then to be his God There must
be oceans of dollars good or bad, was Of
no consequence 50 that they were album
dant. and he pictured the country as on
a rapid descent to the domination bow
vows because there were not dollars
enough. Now It seems that the dollar Is
small AFFAIR after all and that oscar
Wndes sen;mantalities and Sun Flowers
are the real thing needed.
We don't think this material age will
pay much attention TO Mr.. Bryans new
propaganda. The general idea of the
American public is that It will take care
of monarchy and all those ideal evils If
you will let It have a plenty OF that pros
perity which hinges upon the dollar. The
American people have a far higher re-
spect FOR the dollar than Mr.. Bryan has
and they are not a sordid people either
But hey have no sort Of sympathy with
Horacca young man who dreamed upon
the rivers bank. waiting for the waters
disposition leads them to plunge in, If
there is a dollar to be had upon the other
side.
So then we approhend that If Mr.. Bryan
feels compelled TO concede that the trust
cheapcns commodities, his case against
the trust is lost. lie viii never get the
American people to consent to pay high
prices for what they have to buy for fear
that lox prices will be attended by trusts.
which will eventually place over them a
king. If therefore. Mr.. Bryan has got So
lar I'm this discussion as to see that the
trust cheaDens commodities. then he had
lust as well stick to free silver. The
trust viii come no nearer e'ecting him
President than free silver came. If DE
wants TO ride the new hobby he must
make haste and take back what he said
at Chicago. or he had just as well begin
TO look out for some other issue.

GUARDING VANDERBILT'S TOMB,
Four Men in the Cemetery Night and

NEW YORK. September 1a-The Van

There have always al all hours. been two

guards. effectively armed, are stationed
where they can see the tomb and all who
approach it without being seen themselves.
They are relieved at regular intervals, IN
such q manner as not To excite attention.
The regular guardians of the cemetery

necessary. even for the body Of a Van
