HARMONY BETWEEN RACES.

In the works of the Newport News
Shipbuilding Company, at Newport
News, Virginia, there is no discrimina-
Jon between white and negro labor.
-sne company was organized and is con-
drOlled by G. P. Huntington. Regard
for, and sympathy with, the negro is
one of the strong traits of his charac-
ter. He is no sentimentalist on the
subject. He said many years ago, that
the country owed much to the negro
race for having kept it in slavery for
a century, and the best practical way

THE ADMIRAL NO CANDIDATE

The value of experience and training
in public affairs weigh lightly on some
minds. Urging Admiral Dewey as a
candidate for the Presidency is simply
an explosion of political uneasiness
and ignorance. Placing a man in a
high, responsible position in one depart
ment of human affairs because he has
been successful in another department
exhibits the narrowest conception of
the qualifications for the high office of
President. When one of the Govern
Ors of a province in Persia telegraphed
to the Shah that he had produced the
first ripe watermelCns of the season
the Shah replied at once: Il recognize
your skill; | make you my Minister of
War" Fortunately, Admiral Dewey
will not consent 10 be a candidate.
General Grant positively refused TO be
candidate for the Presidency, and
finally consented only after the Repub-
lican leaders had pounded him with
the statement and argument that the
Republican party had made him and
that he alone could carry the party in
the coming election. He goes down in
history as a great soldier and an in
different President. Fortunately, Ad-
miral Dewey has sufficient common
sense to refuse to be made a cat's-paw
by either party.
In fact, the Democrats only would
nominate him; not because they have
any love for him, but in order to beat
the Republicans, just as they elected
Cleveland, although the leaders had
no confidence in his loyalty to the
bosses; nor will the Republicans nom
mate a man whose disposition towards
the party organization is entirely un-
known. They do not act on promises
but on knowledge of a mans political
history. will he pull in the party
traces?' will he recognize party OBJ
legations The leaders cannot afford
to take any chances; nor will Admiral
Dewey take any chances, unless there
is popular uprising in his favor. His
fame as a great Admiral is secure. He
has reached lofty position; he has
the gratitude and love of the people
and now has earned rest. The men
of both parties hold him in the high
est esteem. An election to the Presi-
dency would at once set six millions OF
the voters of the defeated party tC

THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP
Bailey Announces That he VIII he no

Barley Announces That he Will he no
Candidate.
Washington. March 3.-Representa-
tive Bailey, of Texas. announced to-day
that he would not be candidate for the
Democratic leadership in the next Con-
gress. He stated TO an Associated Press
reporter that his decision was irreyoca-
Bile, although his friends appealed TO him
nor to make the statement:
The refusal Of the Democrats yester-
day To follow his lead in the demand
for the consideration OF the resolutions
declaring General Wheeler and the
members who had accepted army com
missions had thereby vacated their seats
induced him TO make this announce
ment.
Mr.. Bailey later gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
Il want il distinctly understood that
am not actuated by any feeling Of
pique or personal disappointment; but
am proceeding purely on the idea that
as a large number of Democrats are
unwilling 10 insist upon an obedience

Constitution they ought NOT 70 be made
responsible for the leadership of n man
who believes that the Constitution is the
supreme law of the land and ought 10
be obeyed M all times and by all men.

and ! will raise it as often as it pre-
sents itself. but when | raise it from

will not be compelled to share the re-
sponsibility with me. / believe that the
Democrats who voted to allow these
military appointees of the President to
retain their seats in Congress greatly
mistake the sentiments of their Demo
cratic constituents. IT is utterly inn
possible for me TO believe that any
man in this country is more popular
with the Democratic masses than the
Constitution, a reverence for which
has been the chief article Of our faith
regret the vote almost beyond ex
preston because | doubt if with that
precedent established any appointec of
the President will ever again be denied a
right to sit in the House Of Represen-
tatives."

ployees he may need for this purpose ami
is allowed TO appoint the engineers eth
cr from the army or civil life. He is
then TO report his conclusions TO the
next Congress-. For this purpose we APP
pronriate 100000.
1.-The items concerning the New York
harbor. Baltimore. Philadelphia. the
Southwest Pass, and the Mississippi
River. Hudson River and nearly all the
important national projects as distin-
guiShed from those of purely local
character were agreed to practically as
inserted in the Senate. In the matter
of the Miami project, which has at
tracted considerable attention, the House
conierecs refused To agree TO the Senate
provisions. In this matter the best
we could do was to secure provision
for the appointment of board of en-
cineers which is instructed tn make an
estimate and report. The House con-
ferees also refused TO accept the Sen
ate's action placing the improvements
Of the ST. Johns River Fla. upon a
continuing contract. but in this matter
we increased the appropriation over the
House figures to the extent of about
100000. making the appropriation
S250.OOO
The continuing contract provision
for Sandy Bay harbor of refuge, Mass
was eliminated. but the immediate ap-
preparation of S250. 900 was provided for.
and authority was given to appoint Il
board of engineers to make n survey and
estimate.
I'VE were also compelled to modify
the Senate provision concerning the pro-
posed channel to Houston. Tex. In this
matter we increased the immediate APP
preparation TO the extent Of 100000
making it 100000 which is sufficient
TO insure twelve feet of water in the
channel to the sea.
The House confereeS accepted our
provision appropriating 100000 for the
Improvement of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,
and also to the provision for the removal
of the rocks in East River, y. Y. They
refused to accept our amendment for the
Improvement of Anacostia River, ID. c.
Senator Frye expressed the opinion
that the action of the conference on the
Nicaragua Canal matter would prove
satisfactory to the country. The Sen
ate provision was. he said. necessarily
crude. owing to the haste which attend
cd its consideration and Congress would
be much better prepared to deal with
the question after getting the resorts
provided for by the conference agree
ment.
The agreement for the New York har-
hor item provides that the Secretary of
War may enter into a contract for the
40-foot channel if the work can be done
for S4.000.000; if not the Government
is to enter upon the work and expend
that amount in securing the depth Of 10
feet.
Many Of the large items We're conf
promised. The appropriation for the
Southwest pass Of the Mississippi River
is placed at 100000.
