Riot Resumed in st. Louis.

Louisville Courier-Jcurnal.
The business of dynamiting street cars
has been renewed by the st. Louis riot
ers. and at the same time the police are
arresting the employees who defend the
cars when attacked. AS matter Of
course, when people are shot there must
be a judicial investigation, but it is no
ticeable that arrests of the rioters are
rot made, even when they attack women
In such cases the officers have led the
women to jail and the mobbers have been
suffered to go free This statement seems
preposterous, but that it is true is attest
ed by the report of the June grand jury
and the suspension of policemen who
We're in evident collision with the riot
ers.

SOME PHILIPPINE FACTS,

A writer in Self Culture, returning
after a long season of scientific and
careful observation in the Philippine
Islands, speaks thus regarding the
timber and vegetation of the island of
Luzon:
Timber exists in great variety and of
most excellent quality. There are to be
found kinds of wood suitable to every
purpose, susceptible of the highest poll
ish; Four kinds are so heavy that water
will not float them. nor can they be cut
with ordinary saws. One variety is of a
bright emerald green, and another rich
yellow, and they retain those colors when

THE NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.

L.
The State of North Carolina is short
ly to hold an election, and among other
things the voters will pass upon the
new Constitution, which in its opera
tons will disfranchise the majority of
the negroes of the State. Some north
ern Republican papers, among them
the Intelligencer, have raised howl
about this, and attempted to make po-
litical capital out of the matter.
The truth is that the great majority
Of the white citizens of North Caro-
lima, without regard to politics, wish
the new Constitution adopted. Even
the Republican Governor of the State
has advised that it be not opposed, and
the Republican party of the State is
by no means united against the meas
ure. Even leading and educated ne
groes will vote for it, realizing that it
is wise step, considered generally.
The attempts by Republican journals
and speakers in the north to make po-
litical capital out of this thing will fall
fiat once the situation is understood
There may be some Objectionable fea-
lures in the proposed Constitution, but
it will carry through the votes of the
wealth and culture of the State, white
and black, Democratic and Republican.

BUSINESS MEN THREATENED.

President Maxwell, of the Second
Branch of Council, stated last night
that something in the nature of
boycott was being brought to bear on
his wholesale grocery firm because of
his stand against fake hotel" licenses,
and another member of Council, in the
same line of business, is understood to
be in the same boat This is playing
it rather low down. When members of
Council act from conscientious motives
and vote according to their convictions
they should be given credit rather than
the reverse.
This boycott business is a game
which two can play at, and as to re-
suits, it cuts both ways. Reputable
business men should not be subjected
to commercial losses for doing their
duty, and when the threat comes from
men who are deliberately violating
the law, because they are allowed to
do SO by an incompetent, negligent and
inefficient lot of officials, the time has
come for such action as will put the
boot upon the other foot. The boy
cotters can be boycotted, and very
effectively, not only through due pro-
cess of law, but in other ways. Things
have come to pretty pass in Wheel
ing if reputable citizens are to be pun
ished for doing their duty and observ-
ing their obligations. 1t is high time
there was a change, and that some
other people were compelled to toe the
line and observe the law.

REPUBLICANS AND THE NEGRO.

About once in so often the Repub-
licans gush over the negro. This is
generally about election time, when the
Negroes vote is needed to boost some
white man into Office. The negro is a
fine citizen and good fellow during
a campaign, but ordinarialy he gets
little consideration from those who de-
mand his party fealty.
There is a case in point in Oregon,
and the negro should consider at. The
Constitution of that State contains
clause which forbids ANY free negro
or mulatto to come, reside or be with
in the State or hold any real estate or
make any other contracts or maintain
any suit therein" At the recent cleo
ton, in which the Republicans had
majority of about 10000, there was be-
fore the people an amendment repeal
ing this section of the fundamental
law of the State. 1t was rejected AS
the Republicans were in the majority
they did it, and the old Constitution
will stand. However, this isn't much
worse than the bull-dozing of colored
voters at district suggestion MEETINGS in

The Gold Democrat.
Chicago Chronicle.

A Republican organ. the Tribune of
New York city, asks Regarding the Gold
Democrat" Does the Republican party
Do the Gold Democrats owe the Repub-
lican party nothing?"
To which the Chronicle replies that
the Republican party deserves TO be pun
ished for doing i'll. And that the Gold
Democrats owe the Republican party
much.
1t was the Republican party that un-
settled the currency system of the coun-
try. 1t was the Republican party that
conceived and brought forth every UNI
sound theory that has been adopted from
time to time by various offshoots of the
two national parties.
1t was in the Republican party every
financial heresy every monetary schism
was originally propounded. This is the
debt the Gold Democrats, all Democrats,
the entire nation, owe the Republican
party on the money question
The speeches of William Mckinley on
the money question from the time he be-
gan thinking that he thought about it
constitute a collection of will O the wisp
vagaries which will furnish any sect of
either the Republican party or the Demo-
cratic party with citations in favor of any
imaginable currency doctrine.
Had the Philadelphia convention seen fit
to declare for any substitute for real
money, whether paper, leather, wampum,
iron, silver, copper or wood, support
thereof could be found in the published
speeches of Mr. Mckinley.
Adrnit br1t not T1rofo,Ipd Ocro1Ipded in,
the trust principles of currency the head
of the Republican ticket can swivel his
chair into any desired posture on almost
any public question.
Mr.. McKinley's ignorance is deepest in
financial science. His adaptability is won
derful. His want of knowledge is match
ed by his constitutional vacillation
Mr.. Mckinley's Intellectual impotency
is most glazing on the currency question.
He has contrived with characteristic cum
ming to follow the most forcible lotteries
of his party on that question as on every
other, for he lacks initiation foundation
and sincerity on all questions involving
principles.
The appeal to the Gold Democrats this
year is a cry to the clouds. This year
there are only Democrats.
What various categories of their fellow
citizens of both great parties may think
this year upon the currency question is
not pertinent to this years issues. The
currency question is no more involved in
this years Presidential campaign than
the question of the origin of man.
The descent of species is as vital an is
sue in this years American politics as
the money standard. For at least six
years the currency question is dead in
American politics and no human power
can revive it during that long period.
All Americans who adhere to the decla-
ration of independence, all men who be-
lieve in the supremacy of the constitu-
ton of the United States are combined
this year to punish the Republican party
for it's notification of the one and its
betrayal of the other.

THE WORST is FEARED.

The news this morning from China
is the most serious yet received.
The German Minister, Baron Won
Ketteler, is dead.
He was murdered while proceeding
to the Chinese foreign office, on the
18th of June
All the legation buildings at Pekin
have been burned save three those of
England, France and Germany, and
the last reports were that the foreign
Ministers remaining alive had taken
shelter at the English embassy.
Prince Tuan, father of the heir ap-
parent to the throne, is said to be in
control in Pekin, and that as long ago
as June goth he ordered the viceroys of
the provinces to kill all foreigners, an
order, fortunately, which has not been
carried out to its full extent.
This is certainly a declaration of
war against the powers, as the Regis
ter suggested yesterday morning, and
the situation can no longer be temper
lied with. 1t calls for vigorous and
combined action, and the immediate
use of an adequate force. Whatever
government China may have, has
taken the initiative and is forcing the
fighting. China must be responsible
for the action of its rulers and pay the
inevitable penalty.
Meanwhile the nations must prepare
for the struggle, come to an under
standing and act in harmony. Moth
ing else will meet the emergency.
