A Southern Problem.

The President just now is listening TO
some very interesting talk on the subject
of patronage for the south. On the one side
are those who champion the old guard,
while on the other are those VINO insist
that new departure is absolutely neces-
sary both for the republican partys ana
the country's good
The case of the old-time republicans Is
nut In about this fashion: There is no
republican party in the lower southern
states, Mr.. President, because the election
laws are all administered by democrats
We have the votes, but are unable to get
them counted AS a matter of fact, the
professional and the business men OF the
south are, as rule, believers In the repuD-
Hcan national policies. But they also are
powerless as against machine control at
the polls. Do you expect to change this
situation by bestowing a few important OIL
fees on men who but yesterday were
democrats? If so, you are on wild-goose
chase They will take the places but they
will render no more returns for them at
the polls than we have been able to DO
Besides, why labor to make the republican
party respected in the eyes OF lot OF
baIIot-box suffers and ringsters? For they
are the authors of nine-tenths OF the de-
nunciation of republicans and republican,
ism. You are the champion of capacity
and integrity in public place. Compare
then. the record of the republicans In fed
eral office in the south with the record OF
democrats in state office down there, and
see what the result is We are Wiling TO
stand by the record"
The advocates of a new departure put
their case In something like these terms:
inO
dent. no republican party in the lower
southern states today. We may differ as
to the reason, but the fact is beyond dis
pute. Such a situation is unfortunate for
the whole country. The south suffers from
it. The one-sided condition of affairs has
operated to drive many of the most capa-
BILE democrats into retirement and bring
forward men of commonplace mold. There
IS no political discussion. Claptrap and
denunciation have taken the place Of that.
In neither of his campaigns for the presi-
dency did Mr.. Bryan visit the south.
There was no reason why he should He
already had the electoral votes of that
section in his vest pocket. In some way
this evil ought to be remedied. 1t is an
evil Try a new republican leadership
where you can. Include among your ad-
visers in the south men who. although they
helped TO make the south democratic on
the negro issue, are, now that the negro is
no longer a political factor, as willing to
help make the south republican on the
national issues of the hour
Fortunately the President Is in position
to give both sides a hearing He is not
fishing for delegates, and his only object
Is to settle the question on broad lines.
The broader the better.

I'm goin' to the country. I'm goin' to pack
my grip.
I've had enough O. city life to last me for
one trip.
I'm goin' where the horses travel peaceable
an slow,
Where there amt no bells a-ringin': where
no whistles fiercely blow.
I'm goin' where you git yer gold a-growin'

An squirrels Is about the only busy folks
you see.
Where the leaves Is all a-dancin' to the
music of the breeze
An no one rings a gong and hollers out,
Step lively, please!'
Where the glories of a sunset an the still

Beat all you kin accomplish with your big
electric lights.
I envy no mans palace. nor his ship upon
the sea.
I'm goin' to the country, an that's fun

The following editorial paragraph, which
recently appeared in the Boston Advertiser,
calls for a word of reply:
"a Boston contemporary recently devoted
lengthy editorial article to the condemna
ton of partisanship in school affairs. The
same authority recently commended the
plan of municipal government at the
tional capital as remarkably pure and eff
cient- 1t would be interesting to know
which of the editorials is to be believed.
Certainly they cannot both be true, for
every educator knows that the schools at
Washington, D. c., have become the mere
prey of personal partisanship within the
District of Columbia. No school commit
tee in Massachusetts would dare to play
politics with the public schools to the ex-
tent seen at the national capital. If par
tisanship in school affairs is very wrong
then the management of school affairs in
Washington may be called wicked and
criminal and the District government in
that respect is anything but ideal"
Not only Washingtonians. but the fair
minded people of practically every other
city who have had occasion to learn the
facts, know that the above comment is
untrue in every particular far as relates
to this District. Unbiased upon any evil
dence. such a declaration is gross injus-
tice to the capital city. The fact is that
Of all the public school systems in the
United States that of Washington is the
farthest removed from political PARTISAN
ship It is founded upon the merit princi-
pie in its best sense, and it's results are
eloquent evidence of the wisdom Of the
successive administrations which have sue
ceeded against occasional pressure in pre-
serving this principle intact. Compare
lively recent amendments in the mode of
management were dictated by desire to
better the system, even then high in its
efficiency, and have been amply justified
f. by results. There was no hint of parti-
sanship in the few changes which necessa-
rily occurred. The proof Of the PROPOSE
tion is the fact that today there is prac-
tically no criticism of the management of
the Washington public schools on the part
OF those who are the most vitally interested
In their welfare, the parents of the pupils
The Boston Advertiser owes to those par
ents an humble apology for the intimation
that they have been content with an edu-
cational system so grossly degenerate as It
represents the District public schools to be.

much Tammany unrest Last night Judge
Jerome, the fusion candidate for district
attorney, declared in a speech that the
Tammany candidate for the same office
was forced upon the ticket by the inf1u-
ence of the ring Of blackmailers for the
purpose of protecting the great graft"
from disturbance in the event that this Of
fee might be saved from the wreck even
in case Of Shepard's defeat But mean
while rumors are in circulation that the
gamblers themselves are growing at the
prospect of a continued Tammany rule and
declaring their intention to vote for Low.
1t is asserted that these men believe that
if Shepard is elected they will be put under
heavier blackman than ever, whereas II
Low is elected they can run their business
without assessment, and, while doing less
in the aggregate, will make a larger net
profit. They claim to reap at present only
% per cent of the profits for themselves,
so heavy Is the demand of the Tammany
crowd. So they are grudgingly submitting
to an assessment of $500 each for the lam
many campaign and organizing Low clubs
secretly for their future purposes.
One of the planks of the Tammany plat
form upon which Mr.. Shepard stands for
the mayoralty denounces Seth Low for
evading his personal taxes. Mr.. Low has
since explained that he did swear off the
latest Tammany assessment Of S3O0OD0,
which he regarded as outrageously ex-
cessive, acting upon the advice of a legal
friend, who assured him that there was
no lawful warrant for the payment. 1t
now develops that the lawyer who thus
advised Mr.. Low is Edward NJ. Shepard.
his Tammanyized opponent. And now The
Squire is looking for the man who rut that
plank into the platform.

Women and Golf.
from the New York Herald

Not less remarkable than the results at
the national amateur golf tournament are
those in the womens tournament now be-
Ing played at the Baltusrol links. Again
new players have pushed to the front, and
lower records have been set in the play
over a more difficult course. 1t is fresh
proof of the interest taken in this capital
game by the women of the country. It is
a branch Of athletics in which they can find
healthful exercise without the violent feat
ures which make so many outdoor sports
unsuitable for the gentler sex. American
women should rank high In amateur sports.
and this evidence of their Improvement in
golf will be welcomed by all who are be-
iievers In their eventual pre-eminence.

Justif1able Tariff Changes.

eff, perchance, some of our tariffs are no
longer needed for revenue or to encoura ge
and protect our industries at home why
should they not be employed to extend and
promote our markets abroad?" said Mr..
Mckinley. When American steel billets,
for example, can be bought In London sew
eral dollars a ton less than they can be
bought in the home market it Is time that
the tariff on steel should suffer some
changes. Anything which discriminates
against the American manufacturer and
consumer cannot be regarded as a protec-
ton to our best interests.

Cecil Rhodes Campaign Subscription.

Cecil Rhodes Campaign Subscription
For an empire builder, Cecil Rhodes is
too sensitive, or too resentful. Why
should he expose campaign secrets ten
years old? Why respond in that way to
the nagging of Boer sympathizers in Eu-
rope and personal enemies in England?
What does he accomplish but display quail
ties which ordinarily do not belong to
man of his ambitions and performances?
OF course he contributed to the campaign
fund of the liberals and mentioned condi-
tions as to Egypt at time when the lib
erals were strong and his African interests
required to be well guarded And of course
he Is equally concerned now for the party
at Aome which stands for British suprema-
cy, even at the heaviest cost, throughout
the whole of South Africa. Why should he
declare himself so freely simply because
a political leader when hard pressed had
denied the truth pretty vigorously?
Mr.. Rhodes should observe the way the
trick is turned with US, and how a great
American fortune builder bears himself in
circumstances somewhat similar When
few years ago the Sugar Trust was un-
usually active respecting anew sugar sched-
ule for new tariff bill the Senate ordered
an investigation of certain charges that
trust, Mr. Havemeyer. was a witness.
There was a cynical suspicion that the
trust had no politics and was contributing
to the campaign funds of both parties, but
the trust had never, even under the most
severe excoriation, publicly confessed any,
thing of the kind. 1t was only when Mr..
Havemeyer was cornered on the witness
stand under oath that he admitted in
calm and easy manner which thrilled the
country that the Sugar Trust was necessa-
riy a friend of both political parties and
years. One or the other must win at the
polls, and whichever did win. should by all
means come into power with kindly feel
ing for the Sugar Trust. That surprised
nobody; but the politicians rather liked the
reflection that 1t had required an oath and
an official investigation to develop the
facts. All of them put down Mr.. Have
meyer as dead game sport"
Mr.. Rhodes does business on a very large
and necessarily on an unsentimental scale
His interest in English politics is confined
to those policies which affect Africa. He
is as 1t were, an African of English de-
scent. He must stand we'll If possible with
whatever party may be in power in Eng
land, and the campaign managers of both
parties therefore are likely to know the
color Of his money. But, except under oath
and in q corner, he ought to keep the par
ticulars to himself. Subscribe, but never
tell, Is a political rendering Of a famous old
sweetheart adjuration of the most binding
description.
