RECOGNIZING THE TRUTH.

The Republican papers, quite generally,
are admitting that the race riots in New
York city and in Akron. o., show con-
clusively that the race prejudice is as
strong in the North as il is in the South,
and that the North has no excuse for de-
nouncing the South for lynching negro
criminals. The Times Herald of Chicago
says:
This is a time of humiliation in the
North, one that calls for a confession to
our Southern brethren and much self
condemnation. All the moralizing that
has been applied to the case of negro
lynchings beyond the Ohio river applies
with equal force TO the case at Akron.
mo Southern mob was ever moro crazed
by the spirit of anarchy or more indis
putably guilty of che law-breaking which
encourages a contempt for all law. And
this frighful record was made in the
Western Reserve of Ohio, a hotbed Of
abolition, a center of sympathy for the
negro and much self-righteous denuncia-
ton of the Southern race wars.
"Until the North can prove that its vir-
tue is of finer stuff 1t had better be silent
on the race question or treat it from a
general rather than from a sectional
standpoint"
Before the New York and Akron riots
the Northern papers refused to admit that
there was any race prejudice in the
North Even if they thought there was
some there they refused 10 acknowledge
| il, because they did not want to deprive
! themselves of an excuse for denouncing
the South. Besides. these Republican pa
pers recognized the fact, though they
would not openly admit it, that their
party was responsible for the unhappy
position in which the negro was placed.
That party placed the ballot in his hand
! before he was ready for it. and it did not
! do 1t for his benefit, but in order to re-
| tain control of the government-to gain
congressman and electoral votes.
The race problem is a serious one
one of the most serious the country has
to solve. Heretofore the North has re-
garded 1t as a problem for The South. 1t
knows now that it is a problem for the
whole country. 1t Is no longer possible
for the Northern papers to charge that
the South is behind the North in civiliza-
| ton whenever a negro is lynched in the
South. Judged solely from the standpoint
of the treatment the negro receives in
each section, the South's civilization is
superior to that of the North.

Yes said the proprietor of the fire

The Navy Department has recently had
a most remarkable proposition from Capt.
C. d. Sigsbee. formerly commander of the
battleship Maine. While in command Of
the Texas he wrote to the department
saying that in spite of all efforts to pre-
vent it, the sailors were surreptitiously
securing alcohol ard cases of drunkenness
were frequent. 1t seems that the sailors
not only got into. the ships supply of
alcohol used in mixing paints, but also
had found way to extract the alcohol
from shellac and to clarity il even AT
ter the shellac had been mixed with vene-
tian red In view of this fact Capt.
Sgsbee suggested that all alcohol kept on
shipboard for such use have mixed with it
tartar emetic. and that it be so marked.
Surgeon General Van Reypen of the Navy
Department quickly put a veto on this
proposition, saying 1t would kill any man
who drank the alcohol in which the poison
was dissolved. The presence of the poison,
il was considered, would not deter the men
from making an effort to get alcohol, so
it was determined that the same old meth
cd of watchfulness will have to be con-
tinued in use.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Just now, when the negro is so much in
the news as an object of attack by moos,
in the North as well as in the South, it is
significant that at session of the Negro
National League, in Boston last Friday,
w. o. Emery of Macon, Ga, advised the
negroes of Boston 10 remove 10 the South
and go into business. He said there were
many more opportunities for them there
and that the South was the land for the
negro. Another speaker told of The
chances offered in Nebraska, and another
spoke for South Carolina. saying that there
negro masons were employed on the Ma
sonic Temple now being built in Columbia
and asking if negro workmen in Boston
were allowed as good chance in the field
of labor"

The Republicans are deeply worried
over Indiana. They have made a poll of
the state and find, it is said that it is
Democratic by 1900 majority. This fact
has caused no little CONSERVATION among
the Republican leaders in Indiana, and it
will probably result in the distribution
there of a large slice of Mr.. Hanna 5

doubtless, find similar surprises in several
other sections of the country.

North Carolina, the only colored represen-

the cash he secured promises that the
amount needed would be forthcoming. As
a dispeller of apathy among the Republi-
can millionaires at least, Mr.. Hanna has
proven himself past master.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem) says:
mo other government in the world but
that of the United States has so barbarous
a tariff as TO make it necessary to main
tain in foreign ports an expensive train
of detectives to ferret out contemplated
frauds upon the custom house revenues
In spite of all the vigilance of this detec-
tive corps, il is probable that ten SNUG
glers run the custom house gauntlet with
their coutraband wares to one who is
caught. In this conraband traffic is a
large invisible factor not to be accounted
for in the balance of foreign commerce"
The New York journal Of Commerce
(Rep) says: The dissatisfaction with the
census is so general that we suggest the
abandonment of enumeration and the sub
stitution of estimates by eminent local
authorities. This would cost nothing and
would give universal satisfaction. A com
mittee consisting of representatives Of the
local newspapers the compilers Of drec-
tories, and the supervisors OF school CEN
suses would state the population of each
city IN figures that would make the heart
of local patriotism palpitate with pride
and Joy"

His Condition Serious.

st. Paul, Nov. 5.-The condition of
Senator c. K Davis was reported as
decidedly worse Sunday night and
grave fears are entertained that if his
life shall be saved it may be at the
cost of his foot or possibly his right
leg. The pus which had formed in
the forepart of his foot and for the re.
moval of which two surgical opera
tons were performed, has now gather
ed further back towards the heel and
indications are that it is permeating
the entire limb. The fever with which
the patient was suffering on Friday
has returned and does not yield as
readily to treatment as formerly. The
surgeons in attendance held a consul
tation Sunday and it was decided to
send at once to Chicago for the best
specialist to be had. The Senator was
very restless and suffered much pain
Sunday. He has not been told of the
serious nature of his ailment and
chafes greatly under the enforced con-
finement. There were many callers at
the house but none were admitted to
the sick room.
