were in pursuit, and ilankly
confessed to the deed, which
aroused the whole Hood riv
or community. This took
place ut IL O'Clock, near the
Bea!s ranch hack Of Under
woods Landing, and half a
mile from where the murder
WIS committed. Sheriff Tot
ton, of Skamania county,
and his posse were following
the tracks in the road which
they thought led to the hid
ing place Of the murderer.
Suddenly Green stepped out
from the brush in front OF
them, gave himself up, and
confessed that he killed Ben
jamin Sunday morning, dt
Wendorf's house, by a shot
from a 1890 rife.

"Perhaps the most unex-

confession, was hisanswer to
the question: Did YOU in-
tend to kill Mrs. Mel. Brown?'
To this he replied: No. "
Green was madly jealous OF
Mrs. Brown. Benjamin's at
tentions to her had aroused
him. and the belief that Ben
jamin was responsible for
breaking t h. 9 engagement
that had existed between him
and Mrs. Brown was suppos-
I'd to- be the cause OF Green's
mad fury, and impelled him
to lnrk outside the house
where the dancing party was
dining, and then to step to
the window and fire the fatal
shot at a defenseless man. 1t
was also believed by all the
party, including Mrs. Brown,
that Green had at the sa me
time intended taking her life,

President Roosevelt started ont with
the determination to build up q repub-
lican party in the south, and by his
first appointments, but even more by
his expressed sentiments, made most
favorable impression. So impressed
by the statement of his plans was Col.
Howell OF Atlanta that he expressed
himself as believing that the president
would succeed in building up quite a
respectable party, but he concluded
with the sage advice that Mr.. Roose-
welt and his party must talk prOtec-
ton and let the negro alone" This,
unfortunately for Mr.. Roosevelt's am
billions, he could not do, and with that
love of the spectacular which led him
to appear at the national convention at
Philadelphia in his uniform of a colo
mel, he invited Booker T. Washington,
the negro educator, to dine with him
at the white house. Washington ac-
copied, and as he demolished the presi-
dents viands so he demolished the
presidents popularity in the south,
and today all the good that had been
accomplished by the appointment OF
Ex-Governor Jones. DIR. Clayton and
others has been extinguished, and the
southerner feels that Mr.. Roosevelt is
no better than any other republican
president, and that the fast act of a
successful local republican party has
been an attempt at his humiliation by
the exaltation of the negro.

our funeral. Out in the cold as we
may be, shivering as we are, aud hun
cry; yea, verify, and thirsty, yet as we
stand around the white house and look
in through the windows and see Teddy
and Booker hobnobbing over their
'possum and potatoes not one of us is
disposed to envy either of them or to
exclaim OF either, 'Wouldn'ti it be bully
to be him. We prefer to take our
chances OF the future. We had rather
wait till our time comes. Somehow the
look ahead does not seem 30 hopeless
nor the distance so long. For there is
here radical infrmity Of judgment, a
plain lack Of common sense, and, bless
the Lord, we are not in it. Indeed,
the shortcoming implied by it means q
great deal TO us. Mistakes, like mis-
fortunes, never come singly. They
travel in groups and are cumulous.

'"The Booker Washington incident"

whether to laugh or to whistle" be
says. "AssuredIy, it is the part Of
wisdom in the democratic party to say
nothing and saw wood"
Mr.. Watterson contends that every
American citizen has the right to pick
his own company. He goes ON to argue
that Mr.. Roosevelt is only shown to be
true to his political religion, and cites
that its foundation was TO free the
negro, to seat him in the highest
places of the land, and that for great
moral lesson it kept the seat OF Jeffer-
son Davis vacant until it could be filed
"by gentleman OF color.

AS was to be expected o split has
come between the president and Sena-
tor Hanna. While those who had the
best interest Of the party at heart
wished that these two gentleman might
be able to get along together they had
little ground on which to base any such
hopes. Hanna had 50 long exercised q
dictatorship authority over the party,
and had so carefully laid his plans to
secure the nomination for himself at
the next national convention, that the
succession of Mr.. Roosevelt was
severe blow TO his ambitions. Mr..
Roosevelt with his positive disposition,
has iron convictions and his forceful
method of putting them into execution
was almost bound to run counter to tho
feelings of the Ohio "boss," even if he
had no ambition for second term,
which he certainly has. During Mr..
McKinley's administration Hanna had
complete control Of all appointments in
the south and had so used them as to
cement together q solid machine which
would stand bound to his bidding at
the next convention President Roose-
welt has upset ell this good work and
proposes to make southern appoint
ments to suit himself, The appoint

The Outcome of 1t.

A good deal Of talk will be INDUCED
in as to the outcome of the presidents
faux pas in inviting to his table a negro
and entertaining him in social man
ner. Much of this talk, Of course, will
be extreme and ill-advlsed. Some al
ready predict that instead of benefting
the negroes it will be an injury to
them, in that it will make them more
forward in their attempted encroach-
ments on white exclusiyeness, and this
will be all the more summarily and Sc
verely resented by the white people of
the south who are naturally more sensi-
tive than usual. Hence trouble is ex-
pected. 1t is to be hoped that the ne
groes are too wise to permit any snch
outcome. Flattered as they may be
over the attention shown one OF their
race by the president Of the United
States, they should know that no mat
ter what is done by individuals, high
or low, the immutable status of affairs
must remain unchanged. II they are
wise they will see to it that they do not
permit the incident to lead them into
presuming that the relative attitudes
of the races have been changed, or that
anything the president may do can
mitigate the racial solidarity OF the
white people. If they are so foolish as
to assume that they are today any diff
ferent from what they were formerly
we would not care to answer for the
consequences.
Trouble is more likely to come in the
north than in the south, because there
the colored man and brother has been
so often told that he is the white mans
equal that he will now be disposed to
believe that he is the white mans su-
perior. and this will be resented. Our
northern friends are more coarse fibered

Of the opposition met with in the sen.
ate of the last congress, and il is as
sumed that definite canal legislation
will be enacted by the fifty-seventb

ever, remains to be disposed OF. While
majority Of those interested seem to
think the Nicaraguan route will be
