The Negro Question.

Recent events in the NORTH
demonstrate that in his relation
with the whit, "a ce, the negro
stands Just as he does South
and that his ravishing of white
women and cold blooded assassi .
nations of white men will not be
tolerated. and that the white peo-
. pie will not wait for the laws,
delays and quib bles of uncer-
tainties. The recent burning

a room and took telegraph poles

of the Jail. got the negroes, hung
them and riddle them with bull

cody discussed the event about
hotels and public places. Hear
ing hat one of the negroes had
been carried to Rockport. they

which goes to show that the

Is more than folly for the press
and officials to keep up contin-
uous TRADE against such lawless-

against the wind. Lynching for
such deeds will go right on, and

THE ANTI-vIcE CRUSADE.

An anti-vice crusade is. now i'll
New York and Chicago. The decent
residents are attempting to force
their respective public officials to re-
spect the laws and give them cities
where shame and crime and vice shall
be less l,agrant and hideous in their
openness. These spasms of virtue
more or less good In both cities the
need of reformed conditions is APP
palling. In New York there seems TO
be some progress TO the movement
though the hypocritical support given
ii by the head of corrupt Tamm&ny
deceives nobody. The utterly degen-
crate administration of municipal
affairs by the New York Democracy.
and the immortality of all kinds fos-
tered by the police have gone so far
that 4 reaction is inevitable. How
long before the city will be as be-
sniirchcd and malodorous as before.
is another question. In chicaS" the
prospect is not SO encouraging. Of
conditions there Il correspondent says:
The streets are unutterably vile after
dark. The thieves and thugs and
vicious characters ply their trades
without molestation. Last Saturday,
Mayor Harrison, in response to an
ever growing demand that he take
action to reduce these evils, ordered
all saloons in certain notorious dis
! trict closed after midnight. In two
hours he had reScinded the order. so
fierce was the pressure applied to him
by the friends of the vicious classes,
! politicians who make large fortunes
| through their pulls with both the city
| government and the City'S disreputa-
! hles." The country may well blush
| 1T the moral turpitude of its great
| cities But the strenuous attempt for
| better things is an encouraging sign.

zen will hope for the success of the re-

TIL. OI.EO FENtDS.

The war with the American dairy
man and all friends Of pure food on
one side and the manufacturers of
olcomarGarine on the other side, goes
on and shows no sign OF abating. The
attitude Of the farmers of the country
was well indicated at the meetings
of the National Grange in Washing
ton. 1t appears from the reports OF
these proceedings that the members
of the order take an Intelligent inter
est in the subject and are fighting the
power. The grange convention has
disclosed Il trick of the oleo trade
which, while perhaps not new, is
nevertheless suggestive OF the need Of
a further amendment of the federal
and state laws. A trick tin package
has been adopted by the olco manu-
fac urers for the export trade. 1t has
n double cover. the upper one OF which
is stamped plainly with Il word to in
ultalh tfldt tllt' toillttIlS stlt Hpt
genuine butter. The side Of the pack
age is stamped with some such phrase
as strictly pure" When the filled
package has passed the internal reve-
nue. inspection the outside lid is re-
nnOved-perhaps to be shipped back
| to the factory and used over again
| and there appears another cover
bearing the stamped word butter.
This package goes abroad and its
contents are sold as Americas butter
| When the fraud is disclosed, as it in
| evitably must be in season. consumers
and dealers alike are filled with indis-
nation against the entire American
creamery trade and the market for
even the pureSt butter from these
| shores is destroyed. The problem of
! fighting the oleo fraud is hard enough
| to solve on q domestic basis without
| having tn" foreign market closed to
| the products of the dairy through the
! wiles of the imitation butter makers.
