JUST at the present time, when the
Democrats in congress pretend to wax
indignant over the violated rights" of
the people of Porto Rico, it is interesting
to read some of the Democratic utter
ances regarding the rights of the colored
race under the constitution. Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, in a speech on the
floor of the senate a month ago, said:
'In physical, mental, social, inventive,
religious, and ruling power the African
race holds the lowest place, as it has
since the world has had a history, and it
is no idle boast that the white man holds
the highest place. To force this lowest
stratum into a position ofpolitical equal
ity with the highest is only to clog the
progress of all mankind in its march,
ever strenuous and in proper order, to-
ward the highest planes of human as
piration."

In the Big Horn Basin.

General Solicitor Henderson has prac-
tically secured the assent of the interior
department to the building of a line of
road by the Burlington across the Crow
Indian reservation in Montana. This
has been the great obstacle in the way
of building the proposed line from Toluca
to Cody City, in the Big Horn basin,
and it is predicted that the line will now
be built this summer. One advantage
to be gained by building this line will be
the tapping of new and extensive coal
fields. The country through which the
line will pass is rich in natural resources,
and will furnish heavy freight traffic
from the start. Its terminus will also be
near the border of the famous Yellow
stone park, and the road itself will pass
through a portion of Wyoming's wonder
land. Cody City is distant nearly 200
miles from Toluca, by the proposed line.
1t is in the center of a large land grant
now being improved by a company of
capitalists headed by William Cody,
Buffalo Bill), of North Platte, Neb.
The land grant is now practically under
irrigation from an immense water way
cut through the mountains. For three
years Colonel Cody has been inducing
settlers to make homes on his irrigated
basin land. The greatest drawback to
settling up the basin has been the lack
of markets and transportation facilities,
and these will be supplied when the
country is penetrated by an arm of the
great Burlington system. The nearest
railroad points to Cody City at present
are Red Lodge, a coal camp reached by
q branch Epa IF fha NarFhar, Do1:So
Sheridan, on the Burlington's Bill
line.

WHEN the Democratic governor of
Idaho called out the troops to suppress
rioting and destruction of property he
gave serious offense to the Suffers and
the Lentzes in his party. Democratic
leaders never were quite agreed upon
upon the occasion of the Chicago riots,
a Democratic governor, seeking political
capital, encouraged the disorder and
lawlessness, and a Democratic president
sent General Miles and his troops to
bring order out o fchaos. Inconsistency,
incompetency and incompatibility are
specialties of the Democratic party.

If the answers are not satisfactory

There three examinations are held. At
the first the immigrant appears alone.
At the second his friends appear for

an appeal to Washington is made, is at
