NEGRO OUTBREAK AvERrED.

Chicago, August ia special to the
Tribune from New Orleans says:
Another outbreak against the negroes
was narrowly averted here last night.
Branch Payne, a powerful negro, living
in the neighborhood in which Robert
Charles, the negro desperado, was killed
a lew weeks ago, opened fire on two depu-
ty sheriffs who attempted to arrest him
on warrant charging shooting at a
white man.
The negro resisted arrest and shot at
the officers, who returned the fire. Four
shots were exchanged.
Angry citizens quickly gathered but
the police charged the crowd in number
and forced a dispersal

tion, submitted peacefully to arrest and

The people OF New Orleans cannot be
blamed much il they smile mocking
smile when they read the accounts Of the
''anti-nigger'' riot in New York. The
New York affair was almost Identical
with the New Orleans affair. Tt sprang
from precisely the same cause.-the killing
of a policeman by a negro-it pursued
exactly the same course-hunting for
negroes and assaulting them wherever
found. It was not so deadly as the New
Orleans affair, probably because negroes
are scarcer IN New York than in the
Southern city. 1t was carried on by hood
lums, and so was the New Orleans riot;
and we fear it Indicates quite as strong
prejudice against the negro among the
general population in New York as exists
in New Orleans, and affords a good deal
of confirmation to the claim of Southern
men that if negroes were as numerous in
the North as in the South there would be
just as much trouble between the races.

The New York Democratic State Com
mittee has selected Saratoga as the place
for holding the state convention, and in
doing so has conformed Fto the wishes
OF Mr.. Croker rather than Mr.. Hill.
Perhaps the most significant thing about
the vote which brought this about is the
fact that Brooklyn-which is MeLaugh-
Inns stamping ground-sided wit Crok-
or. That may not be conclusive proof
that Mclaughlin is going to throw his
strength against Coler when the selection
OF candidate for governor comes up, but
it is straw in that direction. There
Is, however, time for good deal to hap
pen between now and the state convention.
Much viii depend on the strength of the
Coler movement among the masses. 1t
may gain such headway that Croker Will
not dare to get in its way, for bosses are
always deferential to popular movements
that mean business, and then it
may not. All that Croker can do to
check it Will be done, and admittedly he
has great many cards up his sleeve
which he can play upon occasion.

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE SEPTEMBER ELECTION.


There is little expectation lat the
Democrats Will stay at home in Septem-
ber, 1900, as they did in September, 1856,
and hence nobody expects the Repubn
cans to carry Maine with the substantial
unanimity that existed four years ago.
Maine has a normal Republican strength
about 20 per cent larger than the Demo
7ratic-that is the Republicans usually
throw 20, 00Oto the Democrats, upwards of
$4,000. But four years ago the Demo
Gratis threw but 81 $50 votes in Septeln-
Der, 1896, whereas in 1892, they threw over
90 OO0; in 1883 over 81, 900; in 1876 over
60, 900, Ihus the average Repu blican
plurality In presidential years from 1876.
on the Mains gubernatOrial ticket, is
about 1900. In 1880 the opposition car
ried the State by mall plurality, but
Garfield carried the national ticket by
5000 plurality The fact, accordingly, is
that all over 17,000 plurality that Hill
receives for Governor of Maine three
weeks from next Monday, may be regard
ed to be the occasion OF special congratu-
latiOn. Should he receive below that
figure no tidal wave could be discerned,
unless the figures should fall considerably
below the average The Democrats OF
course are making their Maine campaign
this year largely on local issues, but there
is no sign tina Maine voters repose par
ticular confidence in the ability of the
BIyanites in Maine to improve county CT
State government
We look to see a round majority foT
Hill for governor and for the Republican
ticket in September in Maine, but the size
of that majority will depend on the ex-
tent to which hard Republican work Is
put in during the next three weeks. A
short, quick and lively campaign, we be-
lieve, Will send General Apathy to the
rear. All that Maine Republicans re
quire is to push the argument to put in
an appearance both in discussion and IN

The news of yesterday morning that the
allies have entered Pekin, appears to be
fully confirmed by later dispatches, and
along with it comes the welcome intelli-
genee that the legat 1oners and foreign
residents were found safe and sound and
promptly rescued. Thus the principal
object of the expedition to Pekin has been
accomplished, and acco mplished, too,
with far less bloodshed than was generally
anticipated when the expedition set out
Now that the main object of the mar Oh
to Pekin has been achieved, what next?
OF course demand will be made for the
punishment of those who have been the
instigators of, and the partakers in, the
attacks upon thu legationers and foreign
residents, and ample reparation will be
insisted upon for injuries done to persons
and property. With these things accom-
plished, as they probably can be without
serious trouble, for it is evident from the
slight resistance offered to the expedi-
tion that the Chinese are good deal
humbled and ready to accept any reason
able terms of peace there will still re-
main the question of the future govern
ment of China. This is the question that
is going to prove the most perplexing
and give rise to the most difficulty in it's
settlement. Here, 1t Is to b9 feared, the
powers are going to clash. The United
States harbors no designs against the ter
ritory OF China, 1t has repeatedly made

is in favor OF maintaining the integrity

The Democrats may try to get the Hon.
William Jennings Bryan to make six
speeches in this State, but they Will try
in vain. Mr.. Bryan is too shrewd a
politician to put himself in such posi-
tion that the result of an election in
Maine can be interpreted as a test of his
influence with the voters -Four years
ago he came here. but that was ostensi-
bly,, at least, to visit the candidate for
vice president, the Hon. Arthur SewaIl.
He made a few speeches, but the effect or
them was not such as to make him wish
to repeat the experiment.. The Maine
Democrats will have to be content with
men OF much smaller calibre than Mr..

Mr.. Bryan tells Chicago Irishmen that
his ambition is to make this country so
great and good that to be a simple citizen
will be greater than to be king in any
other land. That is noble ambition.
But Mr.. Bryan means for accomplish
ing his purpose is not adapted to the end
in view. Free silver will not make this
country great or good. On the contrary
it will debauch public morals by giving
governmental Endorsement to a change OF
the standard of value which will alter
the nature and extent of public and
private obligations. That will not tend
to make the nation good. 1t will at
the same time take this nation out OF
the category of the enlightened and pro-
gressive nations of Europe, like England
and Germany, and place it In the listwith
China and Turkey. That Will not tend
to make the nation great. Neither will
the carrying out of the programme which
the Chicago platform has laid down rela-
tive to the courts tend to make the
country great or good, but quite the con
trary. Mr.. Bryan's purpose may be sin
cere, but his method of working it
out needs revision.
