adopt another policy. 1t is impossible
to regard the matter from any other
point of view. The Democratic party
stands On the Chicago platform. and
what the Chicago platform stands for
has been sufficiently emphasized to
need no recapltulation here.
The white Democrats of the South

nothing have be en- large benefciaries
of Republican favor. in war and In
peace, since the election of President
Mckinley. How will they requite
these benefactions? The attitude of
The Post sufficiently indicates how

of integrity, when these are necessary
to Democratic success, have always
been resorted to by the mOulders of
Democratic opinion.
We expect that President Mckinley
will be re-neminated and reelected,
but he will be nominated by Republi-
can votes and if ne is elected, he will
be elected by Republican votes. The
Southern States are lined up solidIy
for Bryan and the Chicago platform,
and they are buitressed by shot guns,
behind which are desperate men. That
this is to be the mode of procedure is
sufficiently emphasized by the state

Carolina that before next November
there will be two thousand white GU

reorgan'zed under a new name but

BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS.

The recent address of Bishop Alex.
ander Walters at New York BANQUET
and reception, was notable one. 1t
was strong, outspoken, logical and
timely, and the audience that heard it
and was convinced thereby, was typi-
cal OF the rsce's highest intelligence
and broadest culture. Bishop Walters
picture of the crisis through which the
Negro is now passing was not over
drawn, although sketched on sombre
lines as to the background of outrage
and prescription, bat the lighter tints
OF energy, ambition aud determination
TO organize, lent glow of hope. He
saw In such combinations as the Afro.
American Council, with its Whites,
Browns, Lawsons. Fortunes and other
equally earnest men at work, the agen
eies by which the race was to be
rescued. Their activity on the firing
line, reinforced by the preachers, edu.
Gators and journalists. presented a
battle array that would be found in
vlncIble when put to the crucial test.
Bishop Walters sees a Promised Land
ahead, but believes that to reach and
enjoy 1t, there must be another march
like unto tia Of the Children of Israel.
Reward awaits those who fight a good
tight and who are faithful to the end.
No man in the country except Mr..
Washington, has grown upon the
country as Bishop Walters has done.
His breadth of vision, liberal heart
and confidence in the wisdom of the
plain people, coming to light just in
the nick of time, have combined to
make him one of the most notable

1.-THE UTAH INCIDENT

1t is quite inconceivable that an in.
cident could occur in Utah which has
attracted so much attention. MIR. J. Cor.

American, veteran of the Santiago
campaign, an exmember of the oath

case at Salt Lake City and qualified
as juror, but number of the white
Jurors after the first days session and
after exhibitions of most obnoxious
prejudice insisted that they would not
serve with this man on account of his
color, and ne was excuied frssn service.
Lit is a pity that isolated cases of this
KIND should occur. and We say isolated
because they are in the Northern szd
Western States, as they feed the
flames OF race prejudice and intolsr-
ance In the Southern States where
thsse flames mead no further sxcita
ton. But they should be regarded as
isolated cases, to be regretted, vithaI.
yet they are isolated cases.
NOW, 1t seems to us that the proper
thing tor the court to have done in a
situation like that was to excuse the
eleven white jurors or 30 many Of them
as objected to serving upon the iury
with this black veteran. That wsuld
have been rebuks that would have
immortalized the Judge Who ordered
the dissolution of the jury. What We
need in high places are nsn who are
conscious OF their integrity and Insist
upon 1t that in the eve of the Law all
men OF all races are absolutely equal.

they are none the less to be fought to

moral than that of the humane Esyp-

President Mckinley must have felt on
reading The Washington Post Of last
Sunday, that the editor of that paper
had 1t In mind to do for him what the
viper did for the Egyptian, At any
rate. The Post, which has all along
stoed as an administration organ for a
purpose, has now turned upon the Pres
ident and declared that he an the
party have steadily lost popularity in
the nation during the past three
months; it goes further and declares
that the anarchism which lurked in
the Chicago platform upon which Bry-
an was nominated in 1895 was more
ia the mind of the campaign orator
than In the platform itself. Then it
admits on the other hand that the Re
publican party has eliminated this
anarchical possibility within the next
six years by the legislation which
makes the gold standard the fixed pol
icy OF the nation. Free trade it also
declares to be an impOssibility within

The Monroe Doctrine.

The declaration in the republican plat
form adopted at the Philadelphia conven-
ton, held in June, 1900. that the republican
party 'Steadfastly a6heres to the policy
announced in the Monroe doctrine is
manifeStly inSidiouS and deceptive. This
profession is contradicted by the avowed
policy of that party in opposition to the
spirit of the Monroe doctrine to acquire
and hold sovereignty over large areas OF
territory and large numbers of people in
the eastern hemisphere.
We insist on the strict maintenance of
the Monroe doctrine in all its integrity.

TO prevent the extension of European au-

MiIitarism Opposed.
We oppose miiitarSSS1. It means con-

citizens have fed from in Europe. 1t will
impose upon our peace-loving people a
large standing army and unnecessary
burden OF taxation, and a constant mem

endeavoring to proselyte for their
church They are working systematic
cally, taking the city street by street.
and calling at each house. Where they
are unable to secure admission they
leave tracts explanatory of the tenets
of the Mormon faith. Their practice Is
to ask first for the head of the house
and If he is not at home then they di-
rect their discourse to the women
whom they find. They are well-1ress-

be very unpopular. and i.heir work here
