We have not yet received all the facts
of the trouble between the whites and
the negro soldiers at Fort Ringgold, but
it is apparent from those already receiv-
ed that race feeling is at the bottom Of e.
The white people in the town don't like
negro soldiers and the negroes take ev-
cry opportunity to emphasize the fact
that they don't like the white people. No
doubt the negroes have made themselves
offensive when in the town, and the white
people has resented their conduct Thus
bitter feeling has grown up between the
white citizens and the negro soldiers
During the war with Spain there was
trouble with the negro soldiers in every
place in the South at which they were en-
camped. At Tampa and Macon and 9th
err places there came very near being col
hsions between the negro soldiers and the
white people The war department had
so much trouble with negro soldiers that
IL determined not to enlist negro regi-
ments for war In the Philippines.
1t is true that the negro regulars DID
good service in the Spanish American
war, but negro soldiers were not popular
III lilc al my 4HN hS6lO NotuntSctS were
difficult 10 control. The government
experience with them was not such as
to encourage it to look to the negro race
for. soldiers in the future.
The trouble with the negro soldier is
that he thinks It his privilege to compel
the world to recognize his Importance as
soon as lie gets a United States uniform
on and a gun in his hand. He becomes
extensively aggressive, and hence pro-
vokes trouble. Because of his tendency
TO cause trouble a negro garrison had to be
removed from Laredo. Tex. recently, anI
now the Governor of Texas wants the
garrison at Fort Ringgold removed. No
doubt the government will comply with
the request There is no use running
the risk of another riot there The people
will not be satisfied until the negro sol
diera havo LETT the place
The Fort Riuggold affair is but ano her
indication that it is becoming more diff
cult all the time for the white and back
races TO get along together In propor-
ton as the black race advances in intelli-
Peuce its demands for political and civil
privileges increase and as these de-
mands increase the friction between the
races increases. The two races can never
get along together peaceably on the basis
of equal political and civil privileges.
The superior race must dominate in this
country.

EXPANSION AND IMPERIALISM.

In his campaign for reelection 70 the
/ Senate, Mr.. Morgan, the senior senator
/ from Alabama, is giving considerable at
/ tention to the relation which this country
/ should bear to the Philippines. As Is wen
/ known Re IS an evpansonist He wants
/ the United States to retain possession Of
those islands ard he finds plenty OF au-
thority for his position in the constitution.
/ The constitution he says, permits expan-
sion, hut p-ohib IS imperialism
He makes TO reference to Mr.. Bryau's
pos III n In respect to the, Phil ppines but
what he says jusudes the inference that
he thinks that Mr. Bryan is much more
of an mpeialtst than he il. 1t will Re re-
called that Mr. Bryan has taken the posi-
ton that the Filipinos should have control
Of their own affairs, under an American
protectorate. Senator Morgan says that a
prOtectcrate or a suzerainty IS nee ssarily
an inper al power. exercised over an ac-
knowledged sovereign, with his consent.
and cannot be a government republican in
form within the guaranty of our consti-
tuition
Mr.. Bryan has not defined clearly what
sort Of a protectorate he wouSi have his
country exerc Sc over the Philippines. It
may be that he meant that our govern
ment should protect them against asgres-
sive acts of other nations or h may have
meant suzeralnty like that which Great
Bril- ain claims TO exercise over the Trans
vaal. Before II could be said that he is
more of an imperialist than Senator Nor
gan, or before it would be fair 10 say that
either of them is an imperialist. the exact
position of each should be known.
1t is supposed that the position of Sena-
tor Morgan is sufficiently well known 10
justify the formation of an opinion as to
whether he is an imrerialist or not. He
wants 10 retain possession of the Philip
pines and to provide the F,lipinos with
republican form of government when they
are prepared 10 manage their own affairs.
Sull he is called an imperialst by those
Americans who ere against the war in the
Philippines ard who are insisting that the
Finpinos shall be given their indepenG-
ence. Assuming that Senator Morsans
definition Of imperialism is correct, how
ever. he is a long way from being an i'm
perialist
Senator Morgan is one of the best in
formed men in public life, and Mr.. Bryan
is the ACKNOWLEDGED leader of the Demo
cratic party. They are wide apart on the
question of the disposition that should be
made of the Philippines. It would be in
leresting therefore to have a Gear ate
ment from each of them as 10 his position
in respect TO those islands-a statement as
10 the policy the United States should
adopt in regard to them. We cannot speak
for the North, but it is certain that the
South is fast coming to the position occu-
pied by Senator Morgan. The South sees
in the Far East a great market for the
products of her cotton fields ana
cotton factories and her iron mines and
iron mills.

NEW YoRIl's PLAGUE SHIP.

1t is undenable that the ship ]. w. Tay-
lor which had two men on board when she
reached New York who We're sufferers
from the bubonic plague, is causing a
great deal of uneasiness in that city. She
has cargo of coffee. 1t is proposed to
put the coffee in other bags, and burn
those which now contain the coffee. 1t has
been suggested, however, that the wise
thing to do is to burn the entire cargo, the
coffee as well as the bags.
There is undoubtedly some reason in this
suggestion. The cost of the cargo would
be enthusiastically small in comparison with
the loss that would follow the admission
Of the bubonc plague into this country
Great confidence is expressed in the abil-
ity of New Yorks sanitary board to pro-
tect the city against disease. 1t is said
that If a case of the plague should be dis
covered there the disease would be quick
ly stamped out.
1t Is astonishing that the confidence felt
in the ability of the health authorities to
stamp out any disease that may make IT'S
appearance in the city is so great. But
such confidence is powerful protection
against an epidemic. Fear of an epidemic
helps the spread of a disease. 1t lessons
the power of people to resist it.
But the doctors in New York know but
little of the bubonic plague. They know
it's symptoms and other features of it, but
they don't know how it is spread, nor do
they know of any means for killing the
germ of it. 1t may be in the coffee as
well as in the coffee bags. The better
course to pursue, therefore, is to destroy
the entire cargo of coffee, and then give
the ship a thorough fumigatOn. In view
of the fact that so little is know about the
disease no precaution against it should be
neglected

ADMIRAL DEWEY AND HIS HOUSE.

ADMIRAL DEWEY AND HIS HOUSE.
II Is probable now that those who were
afraid that Admiral Dewey intended 70
transfer the house the people gave him to
his wife arc satisfied with the disposition
ne has made Of IT, The transfer OF the
house to his son makes 1t certain That he
intended that II should go 10 his son-that
1t should remain In possession OF MS de-
cendants to the extent that he could &C
compush that object.
There are those who are unkind enough
to inslnuate that he intended to give the
house 20 his wife, because ne transferred
it to her before It was transferred to his
son, and that he was deferred from car
rying into effect that intention by the
criticisms which eminated from those who
had contributed 10 the house-purchasing
fund. There was probably some excuse
for these criticisms, because there was
reason for thinking thai he intended the
transfer to his wife TO be permanent Il
seems, however. that there were legal rea-
sons for taking the roundabout course he
did for getting the title to the house in
the name Of his son.
II IS ndFQly reasonable iNdt MS AlAc
cared for the house, being wealthy wo-
man and having houses OF her own And
it is not probable, if the Admiral had in
tended to give the house to her, that he
would have been deferred from doing so
by the opposition to the act which ap-
peared in the public prints. strong
reason for thinking he had no such inten-
ton is the promptness with which he
transferred the house after 1t came into
his possession. If he had particularly de-
sired his wife to have the house he would
have waited a while because he could
have foreseen that such a disposition of
tit would not have been regarded with
favor by the public.
The facts point to the conclusion that
he has made the disposition of the house
he intended to make. The house will now
remain his residence during his life, and
at mis- death will pass to his son or the
heirs Of his son. The Dewey house Incl
dent may be considered as closed.

THE NEW IsSUES.

1t is the understanding of the Executive
Committee of the Democratic national
party that held a meeting In Chicago this
week, that the Democratic National Con-
vention will reafIirm the Chicago platform
and will add two new ssues-anti-imperl-
alism and anti-trust-to It, The idea
was thrown out by some of the members
Of the committee that silver would not
be permitted to occupy SO prominent a
place in the campaign next year as 1t did
in 1896. The issues that will be forced to
the front are the ones that are not in the
Chicago platform.
1t is not clear yet just what the Demo-
cratic National Convention will do. The
members of the Executive Committee have
their views as to what it ought to do, but
they cannot tell what political develop
ments there will be within the next few
months. Congress may enact measures
that will materially change the existing
political situation.
II Is hardly probable, however, that
il will do anything that viii make the
feeling against trusts any less intense than
it is now. 1t is safe to say therefore that
a strong plank in the Democratic national
platform will be opposition to trusts. At
present it doesn't appear that it will be
possible to find another issue as strong as
this. The Republican party will condemn
trusts, probably, but the declaration
against them will be so weak that it will
amount TO practically an Endorsement of
them. Unless all signs fail the people in
the campaign next year will regard the
Democratic party as the opponent of trusts
and the Republican party as friendly to
them Under such conditions the Demo-
Gratis can afford to drop every other issue
and concentrate all of their strength
against trusts. If they have the wisdom
10 do this they will stand an excellent
chance Of electing the next President.

In Chicago the sehoo. boards regula-
tons do not allow women with children
under two years Old to be teachers. A few
days ago a young mother. Mrs. Hummell
choosing between poverty and her seven
months-old baby, surrendered the child to
her sister who legally adopted it, hoping
thus to avoid The rule of the board. But
President Andrews says that the woman
has given up her child in vain. and that
the rule will be enforced against her. The
rule seems unnecessarily severe, since the
woman's competency is not in question,
and her salary is her only means of sup
port
