POLITICAL SNAPS.

Democrats are reported aggressive
in California and Indiana and all in
tervening states. Hanna is said to be
shaky as to Nebraska. He may we'll
be for that is Bryan's state.
The house of representatives are un-
certain. Both parties are fighting for
supremacy. Democrats hope to gain
a district in Massachusetts and to gain
one or more in New York and Pennsyl-
vania. Some Illinois districts filled by
republicans are thought to be in doubt.
The cry of the Republicans that the
farmers in the great west had paid off
all their farm mortgages,is rather false
than true-is at least greatly over
stated. A correspondents of the Balti-
more Sun telegraphs:
1T is absolutely untrue in regard to
Indiana, and doubtless untrue in regard
to other states. Instead of the mort
gage indebtedness of Indiana having
been reduced during this wonderful
Mckinley administration. it is now
S55,0O0,000 more than it was in 1896.
There can be no dispute as to these
figures, for they are official

Sentiment reported since 1896.

the Seaboard Air Line, is a gold bug

NEGRO EDUCATION IN THE NORTH

! On the Oath instant the American
missionary Association met at Spring
field, Mass, Professor S. J. Dutton. Of
columbia College. New York, present
ed a review Of annual report of the
Executive committee. He appeared to
be fair in his remarks. He spoke Of
the number of negroes who have come
to the north from the south who show
ed natural ability and liberal culture.
He said that if driven to make the
condition Of the colored people more
ltolerable than that of slavery we must
grant to every member of the race
Freedom in thought and action; a free
dom guided by an educational intelli-
gence and a confidence which comes
from the ability to pursue the path in
life for which one is best fitted" He
appreciated the efforts of the south in
behalf of the negroes, while the north
has been liable to do SO much in plant
ing schools and churches and lifting
the colored race up to a level of self
respect" The south in fact has made
great and most wonderful sacrifices
IIOr the negroes. IHey nave dlueU lHcIl
as to schools, churches ETC., not of
their riches, but of their poverty. One
of the richest men in the north is in
possession of property almost equaliz-
ing the worth of half a southern state.
1T is very easy to give when your in
come for a day is equal to your bene
faction for year. Professor Dutton
said if the southern whites that "con-
sidering their means, they have taxed
themselves heavily for the support Of
schools and have afforded nearly, if
not quite, equal advantages to the
Ichildren or former slaves as to their
own. The public school system,
Through the energy of wise leaders,
men of the higher education and skill,
lis gradually becoming perfected and
lis destined to become in the south, as
lit is in the north, the most potent of
all factors for the uplifting, the saw
ling and the culture of the young peo-
Iple of old time
The sentiment is growing in some
southern states to give all of the
school fund paid by the whites to white
schools. In New York state whites
and negroes are cheek by jowl, go to
the same schools, sit together, play
together and possibly sleep together.
That is believed to the civilization
l''up there"

ly democratic by a large majority, the
republicans are at work, quietly but
earnestly. They are doing very little
talking but they are saving lots Of

column, not because the democrats are
in the majority in the state, but be-
cause they are not fully satisfied that

al committee and Immediately given
out by Mr.. Payne with a straight face,
as an illustration Of popular senti-
ment."
Several of the unions are indignant
because Of the republican attempt to
mix them up with politics. But the
worm when crushed will sometimes
turn. The republicans sought a big
meeting at lumber section where ma
bobs are rapidly getting rich from the
workings of the Mckinley high tariff
trust. Here is what followed the plan
or purpose:
"Peremptory orders were issued to
their men to fall in, and, under the
leadership of the foremeE and super
intendents, they were marched to the
meeting.
There were 1000 of them. A very
large proportion Of them were demo-
Gratis and they soon became tired Of
being involuntary listeners to eulo-
gies on Mckinley and imperialism.
They began to express their sentiments
and to leave. They were rounded up
by their bosses and threatened with
discharge If they did not remain.
Guards had also been distributed
through the crowd to hold them in
place.
The spirit Of resistance increased and
soon there were shouts for Bryan and
groans for Mckinley and the trusts.
1t ended in a free fight in which there
were a lot Of broken heads, and the
meeting collapsed. All of this will give
you an idea Of how the republicans
propose to carry Chicago for McKin-
ley. Most surely it can be done in no
other way"
We admit with regret that this is
not comfortable reading-no a health
full sign as to future of a great coun-
try, with money by the tens Of millions
with which to debauch the American
voter, buy his independence and
make him a tool of tricksters; and
with the tremendous power of rich
nabobry to coerce the millions who
work for them, and to rob them of
manhood and freedom, give a terribly
dark shading to the future that rep
resents this republic, or what is left
of it.

of which she was possessed, except the

she can prove was not given to her by
Schreiber. All of the property is
valued at about $4,000.
In consideration of this assignment
