GROWING WISER.

AT last there are signs even in
Roston that n-egrophilism is de-
Ginning, perhaps slowly dying. 1t
has lac a long reign up there, and the
people of the past in New England
have great sins to answer in connec-
tion with slavery, beginning with the
slaveship and the great war and the
loss Of several hundred thousand white
men, and the injury inflicted upon the
south by fanaticism, ignorance, nvy
hatred and malice after the war ended.
But there is a slight awakening and
now and the some New England mar
exhibits sense and perception. The
Boston Herald is becoming healthful
in its neutrality. 1t circulates more
than any paper in New England and its
views are widely disseminated in that
section. We find this timely paragraph
in the Charleston News and Courier OF
nth inst:
srThe Boston Herald a reached the
conclusion that there the inferior races
and thai they must De or WI treat
ed as inferior, and actually admltS ina

with h negro pronlem' ina o,,.h '
New England would doubtless handie
if very much as it has been handled IN
the south. Speaking of the Indian ana
negro problems it says: Ii we nao

groes in New England we snoulo noru
respecting them much the same views
that are held by our western ana
southern fellow-countrymen-' Our New
England friends are good because they
do not have to be bad.
The south is friendly to and appre-
ciative OF the negroes. 1t and only 1t
knows. understands and properly SYM
pathizes with them. The south has
done wonders for that race since 1900.
1t has given them employment, wnen
nearly every man Of them joined In
opposing its interests and in antago-
MIXING politically and IN every a pos

bore with them, educated their on
springs
Look at yesterdays Messenger n
read the record in Indiana, a northern
state, and free state prior to the war.
At Rockport three negroes were taken
from the Jail by a mob and hanged In
the court house squar for numbering
q white man. 1t was defiantly, openly
done. Great feeling against the negro
race exists in that section. No wonder
the blacks are fleeing for safety
life. The south is far more forbearing
than the north is in dealing with ne
groes who commit crimes. They have
ragged over the south for hanging negro
brutes who commit the unbearable, al
most uncomfortable and most horrible
crimes against helpless girls and
white women of character. But II
Boston and Philadelphia and Chicago
had peen made to suffer by the cruel
rapes of the black villains who perpe-
trated them they would not only have
hanged and quartered the whole race
that could not make good their escape.
There is much yet to learn on the part
of-the north as to negro 1t
must learn the lesson of forbearance IL
has so long time preached to the south
ern whites. 1t must try to understand
the situation in the south. Here there
is one black man TO every two WHITE
men. Here the jails, court houses n
penitentiaries are mainly filled by ne
grces. Here they constitute to q very
great degree the criminal class.

England is still blocking the negotia'

England is still blocking the negotia-
tons in China. 1t makes itself trou-
blesome to the other nations, it is e.
ported. The minister there de-
mands a modification of the joint note
to China, which other powers think
important. But is not England right
in reality? Before further action car
be taken communication with the
home governments must be had and
further Instructions be received. The
exact demand of England is not known.
1t is therefore premature to judge En-
glands course or to censure it for de-
laying negotiations. We may expec
the powers to both hear and modify
demands.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
FOR VICE PRE5IDENI
THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
OF NEW YoRK

There seems to be some dissatls-
faction about giving congressman Sal
mon another term. The Sussex Demo
Gratis claim that if this is done, it will
be by the consent Of Hunterdon, and
that will take off a second term for the
candidate from this county, for Sussex,
which comes next in line, will insist
in having the plum at the end of the
next four years.
The New Jersey Herald, of Newton,
the leading Sussex Democratic sheet,
says in its issue of August 23d:
Our good Republican friend Josiah
Ketcham, of the Belvidere ApoH0, the
Republican organ of Warren comfy,
announces in his last paper that 1t
is now pretty generally conceded that
Mr.. Salmon will receive the Democratic
nomination for Congress this year,

valued Republican friend Ketcham so
much interested in n popular Demo
cratic nominee from this District for
Congress. And why does he want that
nominee from a county that has re
cord of giving big Republican MAORI
ties, when by party usage that nomlna-
ton should go to a county that thinks
nothing OF giving n Democratic MAORI
ty of anywhere from | 800 to 1000?
Naturally, the Republicansare anxious
for the Democratic candidate to come

they wish to estrange from the party

aa possible, and this can be done in no

POLITICAL NOTES.

Webster Davis seems to have gone
down without even making a ripple.
Mr.. Bryan will hardly be so reckless
as to paramount one of his nomina
tions.
What the latest indianapolis gather
ings lacked in numbers they made up
in gloom.
The workiagmen are understood to
be still calling for dinner pals, Nc
Kinley size.
What has become of Mr.. Macrum?
A while ago he was to be the para
mount issue.
II is believed that Mr.. Bryan has
turned out more perforated predictions
than any other man in public life.
Chairman Jones might take day off
and tell us Just how he would regulate
the Cotton Bale Trust, if he had his
own way about it.
The figures show that the farmers of
the country paid $685., 900, 600 for the
fun OF electing a Democratic President
in 1892. 1t is doubtful if they will do
50 again.
The fact that Chairman Jones Is con
nected with the cotton bale trust Is IN
measure consoling to the Van Wycks
aud other Tammany statesmen. Misery
| doesn't like exclusiveness
The Philadelphia Press thinks that
| it is new for Presidential candidate
to encourage resistance to the lawful
authority and the settled policy Of the
United States. True, it is.
The imperial dominion of Tammany
Hall over the destiny OF the city of
New York is pledged to liberty for all
people who will contribute to their
uninterrupted access to the tax re-
| ceipts.
II Bryan is SO thoroughly convinced
that he sees the dawn of empire, and
nothing can prevent its establishment
except his election, why does he not
threaten to emigrate in the event OF
his defeat?
Mr.. Bryan has one speech for the
Democrats, another for the Populists
and third one for the free silver adj
yocates. In view OF the nature Of his
support the many sided Kansas City
platform was absolutely necessary.
All of the counties in Arkansas have
not been heard from, but at the hour
of going to press Chairman Jones,
Chairman Of the Popuist Committee,
had not parted with any of his Ameri
can Cotton Bale Trust stock.
According to Senator Tillman, stuff
ing ballot boxes and shooting negroes
in South Carolina is all right. He
would have us protect the brown man
only when he is engaged in emulating
the example of AgninaIdo and firing
ON our flag.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1900-09-05

In 1864 the Democrats were charging
Abraham Lincoln with being an i'm
periafst and a republic wreeker. The
Indianapolis Sentinel was particularly
vigorous in this work. Mr.. Bryan is
not quoting from the files of his In
dianapolis organ.
As the campaign advances il become .
more and more evident that the friends
of good government, true patriotism,
sound money and protection to Amer-
can interests are uniting to oppose
those who stand for the reverse of
these civic virtues.
As rule, the less practical man is
the more he believes himself capable
of interpreting the constitution. judy
ing from Bryan's speeches he could
manage the entire business of the
Supreme Court without any assistance,
but would fail in any legitimate bust
ness enterprise.
Never before in the history of Presi-
dental campaigns have the supporters
of candidate been asked to believe
that the platform means the reverse of
what II says. The Democrats argue
that Bryan will not do anything to adj
vance the cause of silver. as he has
promised to do. They are also being
convinced that he would not retire the
army from the Philippines as he has
promised. Such an anomalous condi-
tion should not beget confidence.
