THE RACE PROBLEM.

An attempt t. solve the race
problem is to be made, we are
told, beginning with negro COL
ony Of several thousand persons
on Long Island, New York.
Long Island is a good place to
begin with, but it is not long
enough, nor wide enough, in itself
to have much effect on the stu
alton. Our Northern brethren
who have shed so much of the
briny on behalf of the down. -trod-
den brother in black, at long
range, should move up and make
room for him everywhere in their
midst, so that their beneYolentin-
tentions could be made manifest
in deeds as we'll as words. This
race question should be settled as
soon as possible, for other race
questions are clamoring for at
tention. We do not approve Of
the Philippine method Of settling
race questions. Truly, when an
alien is killed he is likely to
trouble us no more, except in our
dreams. To apply this method to
our negroes would not meet our
approval, though no doubt it is
quite effectual. Let our colored
fellow-c citizens who are discon-
tented with their conditions in the
south go north and grow up with
the people there. AS a business
proposition, we are willing to
swap negroes for white citizens
as long as the stock holds out
We might even be induced to give
two for one,- Texas Farm and

-Coonville had a wedding last
Sunday and all Of Coonyille was
there. So was about a hundred
of the 'poor white trash," who
were fortunate enough to secure
invitations, there. A representa-.
tive of this paper, being one of
the fortunate, was present and
reports that it was an immense
wedding in the fullest meaning Of
the word. In honor of the oc-
casion all the young men of
Coonville wore each huge sash
Of blue ribbon, and as they moved
about with flying banners, the
casual observer could tell that
they felt their importance as fac
tors in the coming event which
would make one of two for life.
The young lady blacks, too, had
their share Of the ''fixins," and
their golden hair hung down their
backs, nit. The older men, all
who. could afford it, wore two
story plug hats. In accordance
with the old custom among the
colored people which has been
practiced so long that "the
memory Of man runneth not to
the contrary" all hands and the
cook were literally supplied with
cinnamon "draps," which fact
made distance lend enchantment
to the view, Long before the
appointed hour for the knot to be
tied the contracting parties ap-
preached the church and were
seated upon u log near by, but on
being told by an elderly black
that that was q 'barrisin' situa-
ton they repaired inside the
cdifice. Finally the time was up
and tho couple marched out into
the grove where the ceremony
was said and tho dusky couple
launched out into the joy Of
double cussedness, All Of Coon
vile enjoyed this wedding more

in contemplation for several
years, but the groom, not being
Of age, was held in check by his

PACIFIC OCEAN CABLES.

HECENT reports from Ottawa are to the effect
~ that arrangements have been made for laying
L an ocean cable across the Pacific from Van
couver to Australia The cost of construction is to
be betrayed by the Governments of Great Britain,
Canada and the Australian colonies AS reported, the
line is to run from Vancouver to Tanning Island, and
from that station branch will be laid Australia
and another TO New Zealand.
The announcement OF such programme on the
part of the British will OF stimulate the United
States Government to provide an ocean cable from
San Francisco, some adjacent point, to Hawaii and
thence westward to Japan and China. Such lines
would be of great value to the Government at this
time and of the highest value to our commerce at all
times. The laying OF the Canadian cable, in fact, will
almost compel to act promptly in providing
selves with an Oriental line, if we expect to compete
with Great Britain for supremacy in Pacific Ocean
commerce on anything like equal terms
Conservative and slow the British in many
things they always fairly alert in matters of
merce, and however advantageous it may be to them
in case OF war to have cable from Canada to Aus
traa it is safe say the main motive that prompts
them in undertaking the proposed enterprise is one
springng from their conceptions OF the vast value OF
Pacific Ocean trade Having strong possessions on
three sides of the vast ocean, Canada Australia and
Hongkong, the British preparing to make full
use OF the advantage the pOSluOn gives lneIn, and
their merchants having all the support and aid
the Government can afford.
1t is certainly high time for the United States to
give serious consideration to her Pacific Ocean trade
The Eastern States seem to regard this coast as
sort OF outlying province, facing away from the big
world OF trade and industry and therefore OF compare
lively little Importance 1t is only recently that even
the most intelligent OF their people have begun to
that the Pacific Ocean be the center of com
mercal activity in the future Hence in the past our
interests have been overlooked, and as we have not
been careful to send strong delegation Congress
and keep it there unchanged term after term we have
not obtained from the Government even what would
have been granted had we been more persistent in
urging it.
1t is folly to waste miserable wars in the Philip
pines the money and the energy which otherwise ap-
piled would provide with ocean cables to the
Orient and with merchant marine equal to the task
Of competing with that of our strongest rivals. The
true expansion for the United States is that OF indus
try and commerce, and if the laying OF the Canadian
cable shall have the effect Of rousng Government
to act wisely and promptly in its interests we shall
gain from the enterprise than the Canadians

AN IRRITABLE GOVERNMENT.

-HE predominant characteristic of the present
State administration is personal irritabilty.
Every time newspaper presumes to adj
dress Governor Gage upon a subject which interests
the people whose he is supposed to be, that
individual flies into passion and roundly denounces
everybody within radius of several miles The Gov
etnor's favorte game is the press, and he never
negects opportunity express his contempt for
newspapers, newspaper men, newspaper methods and
newspaper morals We have already noted his con-
temptuous reference to that he contemplated
entering the newspaper business himself. He said
that nothing earth would cause him to de-
scend to the newspaper level''-of morality, We sup
pose although having already descended to the Dan
Burns level of politics it would not seem to be a
precipitous path for his Excellency to travel.
This personal irritabilty however, is not confined
to Governor Gage. His partner, Mr.. Denis of Los
Angeles appears to be splice off the kind OF
main brace. The other day reporter presumed to
ask Mr.. Denis if he aspired to the position of Code
Commissioner, and this was that gentleman's cour-
teous reply: THE yellow journals of this coast seem
think l have no rights that should be respected
They yank me out of bed take me from my meals
and act if they thought l lackey the peo-
pie OF California messenger boy to the Governor
am neither the other-simpy citizen OF
the commonwealth and not the custodian of the pr-
vate affairs of Others"
We do not know how this sort of conduct is re-
garded in Los Angeles, but up here it is esteemed
among polite people to be boorishness. If Mr.. Gage
and Mr.. Denis representative Southern Califor-
mans there is certainly occasion for the introduction
into that region OF system OF polite education among
public men. There is excuse, in fact for any such
conduct is being reported OF these two politicians
Mr.. Denis may or may not be candidate for Code
Commissioner But in any event he is bound to treat
those who address him civil questions with the
tesy which becomes all gentlemen in whatever walk
OF life they may happen to be cast.
OF course it discred to California that she is
possessed of an irritable government Our people
are not responsible because Governor Gage does not
cultivate the manners of gentleman nor because he
has bad liver perturbed stomach. But these
little things among thoughtless people regarded
seriously If Mr. Denis is going to become part Of
the government, and the whole thing is to continue
be irritable ii will be in order call in physi
clan and have some soothing medicine administered
