Title Is Unqucstionable,
of War.

There were those who two years ago were
rushing us on to war with Spain who are
unwilling now to accept its clear conse-
q%uences, as there are those among us who
advocated the ratification Of the treaty Of
peace, but now protest against Its obliga-
lions. Nations which go to war must be
prepared to accept Its resultant obligations,
and when they make treaties must keep
them.
Those who profess to distrust the liberal
and honorable purposes of the administra-
ton In Its treatment Of the Philippines are
its creed or conduct. Freedom Is a rock up
on which the Republican party was builded
and now rests. Liberty is the great Republic
can doctrine for which the people went to
war and for which a million lives were Of
fered and billions Of dollars expended to
make 1t a lawful legacy Of all without the
consent of master or slave.

BISHOP WALTERS TO RAISE $1,000.

Bishop Alexander Walters is doing

ing fund Of $1,000 to that end, and
last week transmitted a large sum to
the finance committee here, to be pa:
as a retaining fee to the eminent coun-
sci employed to carry test case before
the United States Supreme Court. The
prospect for early action seems very
bright. Bishop Walters re election
to the presidency at Indianapolis is
regarded as the wisest thing to have
been done, and his zeal for the race
shows that the sceptrs is in honest and
loyal hands. Vigorously cooperating
with the Bishop are the ablest forces
OF the Council-Congressman White,
Messrs. Lawson, Fortune, Hannon,
McGhee and others, and the unanmity
which characterize their deliberations

God speed in their efforts.

THE NEGRO EXHIBIT AT PARIS.

In another column will be found an
interesting account Of the Negro ex-
hibit at the Paris Exposition. Ii is a
plain, simple narrative of what the
world thinks of all that was sent to the
great exhibition in Paris to represent
what the black man in America has
accomplished since he was emancipated
from slavery less than forty years We
have told the story of the success of this
remarkable and unique exhibit of ours
more than once in these columns, but
of course it was not told in 50 complete
a way as the statement given to-day by
Mr.. Galloway himself, who is at the
head Of this particular part of the ex'
hibition referring to the progress and
achievements of the American Negro.
Few things have been done for us in
the last two decades that have counted
so much for our dignity and capacity
as the winning of SO many prizes of
high distinction in Paris last summer.
The peoples of other countries will
know the Negro American better and
think mere of him hereafter than they
have done before, for they have seen
him rated among other races at Paris
as man who can do something along
all lines of commendable endeavor.
We are proud of our EXHIBIT, especial
ly proud of that which was sent by our
own public schools, representing what
we have done in an educational way.
We hope that all of our readers will
note what the article by Mr.. Galloway
has to say about the impression the
Negro has made abroad.

fully disputed.
William Mckinley should be re-
elected by decisive majority. Next
to Washington and Lincoln, he is
easily the most commanding figure in
the proud history of our land. Like
them, he has proven equal to the most
trying emergencies. His patriotism or
courage has never faltsrsd. In bis
hands the helm of the ship of state, is
sure to be guided Alright. Theodore
Roosevelt embodies all that Is desirable
in American manhood and he should
be chosen as second officer of the ma
tion az a just recognition of his valu'
able services to the race and country.
The "eitizsn king" can continue
President Mckinley in power. We be-
lieve he will do it. We are confident
that the American sovereign, black
and white, will rise in his majesty on
the 9Th day of November, and ad-
minister to the fees of peace, prosperity
and plenty. rebuke SO singing that

Tne CITIZEN KING.

What glorious thing it is to be an
American citizen!
In medieval times, when about the
court of the Caesars hung the destiny
of empires, it was deemed a proudsr
honor to be citizen of Rome than to
be king elsewhere. But the power of
Rome departed; sceptres were swept
aside, and the march of human pro-
gress carried in its wake, through all
the centuries, the irresistible spirit of
individual responsibility. Prestige of

genius. The autocracy Of intellect in
spired each man with a desire to be a
sovereign in his own right-a free
agent, aud an Independent factor in
the economy of civilization. The con.
crete response to this overwhelming
protest against abseluteism was the
building of our American republic.
At massive Plymouth Rock was laid
the foundation of government, with
freedom as its cornerstone, sad on the
majestic James were lighted the 6res
of liberty, which no monarch has ever
been able to extinguish. From thirteen
struggling colonies, with no capital
save sturdy hands and patriotic hearts,
this little nation of the West has ex'
panded into the grandsst republic on
the face of the earth, and ranks with
England, Russia and G>rmany as a
world power. Its growth has been in
accord with the logic of events, and
each generation of its statesmen have
proven equal to the problems which
confronted them. 1t has demonstrated
10 greater extent the possibilities Of
republic than any ether government
that now exists. 1t has csme to be the
mecca of refugees from every cline whe
wish to escape the tyranny of royal
rule.
The American citizen is in7eed a
king. His will, fnitely expressed in
the Constitution, is the grand center
around which the government Of states
moves and has its being. He makes
and unmakes policies; be creates and
destroys systems, and chooses with.
out restriction the instruments of
rights and many of them exercise these
to disadvantage of large part Of the
citizens of that state. While the per.
version OF the rights of the state is a
glaring defect in our system, it does
not materially interfere with the great
ness nor solidarity of the body polite
and will eventually disappear-in the
pronounced trend of the Goth century
toward civilization. The state will al
ways be selt'governing in matters pure.

for the better will come when the Ma.
tional Congress can define the limita'

this great and liberal government to-
