Color Line In the North.

From the Newark Advertiser. ~ 'ts
The negro has in the North educational
advantages which are not found in the
South, but the color line is drawn so
strictly in nearly all Northern communi-
ties that the negro has really less chance
for material progress than he has in the
southern states. If he lapses into crime
it Is because of exclusion from chances
for a decent livelihood, and because, also
of neglect by the Christian churches,
which should be first and foremost in
the work of protecting and elevating the

If Dewey should be nominated at all
1t will be by the republican party. This
is possible but not probable, for Mr.
Hanna has been busily engaged putting

return from Europe.
The belief has been quite general that
the question of the nomination was
settled in McKinley's favor; but of late

shown some anxiety over the matter.

utterances are not at all indicative of

of Manila bay, it would be nothing
more than a Just .retribution. The
claims of Mr.. Mckinley for renomina-
ton are based entirely upon his war
record for aside from the war his
work has been altogether perfunctory.
And yet that record, when considered
in it's entirety, is about as weak, wobbly
and inconsistent as it could possibly
be. He literally had to be dragged into
the Spanish war. When he found that
he had lost popularity by his unwilling
ness to espouse, the cause Of liberty in
Cuba, he evidently thought to regain it
by becoming peculiarly bold and ag
gressive in the Philippines. He con-
ceived the idea that he could whip the
Filipinos easily, that there would be no
possible danger of defeat and then he
would be able to go before the people
as the first American president to per-
manently plant the stars and stripes in
the eastern hemisphere.
In order to have full sway he allowed
congress to adjourn on March 4. AL
though at that very time hostilities
with the Filipinos had actually begun.
But he desired no interference with his
plans. He wanted all the glory him
SELF and for about nine months he has
been winning it. He has been carrying
on a war which some of the ablest men
in his own party believe to be wholly
without warrant in the constitution.
If he has shown either ability or judg-
ment in it's conduct his most ardent
champion has utterly failed 10 point it
out. The defense offered is, at best. an
apology for his failures and an attempt
to shift the responsibility to others.
If war records are to count in the
next campaign, Mckinley simply isn't
in it, by comparison with Dewey. who
never made a mistake. That Hannas
protege is now rapidly losing in public
favor is one of the most obvious things
in the political situation. No wonder
there is anxiety and fear in the white
house circle. The great money power

National Banks and Circulation.

From the Philadelphia Record.
How irresponsible the national bank sya-

shown by the statement of Comptroller
Dawes that the total increase of circula-

ended Sept. 80, 1899. had been only 1893, :
178. Under the terms imposed by law the
banks do not find it profitable to put
