ABOUT RACE PREJUDICE.

Our esteemed contemporary the
New York Press, takes occasion
to remark: If we are to accept
The Arizona Clifton as good
authority, race prejudice is about
as strong in Arizona as in any of
the old Southern States. The Ci-
tizen says negroes will be lynched
and burned at the stake Just
as long as white woman are
outraged by them, and thinks that
on the whole burning is prefera-
BILE as it strikes more terror. We
would commend to the attention of
our Arizona contemporary, and to
all disposed to cultivate race pre-
judice, the action of the hotel
keepers of London who refused to
exclude negroes from their hostel
cries, when white Americans
did not approve of their presence
The English have an older civili-
zation than ours and they extend
social equality to negroes.
To use a phrase more frequently
heard in New York than in Ari-
zona, the Press editor "is talking
through his hat" We readily
admit that Englishmen at home
do accord to men not white an ap-
proach to social equality, but this
is because these men are far too
few in number to create anything
like a race or color problem. In
the East the Briton loses entirely
his boasted superiority to racial
distinctions and draws them quite
as firmly as we do.
In India, there is of course, q
certain amount of superficial in
tercourse between English and
native, but the dividing lines are
deeply cut on both sides. With
less excuse the nglo-Indian
keeps the Eurasian at a distance
also, just as the American holds
aloof from mulatto and quadroon.
The knowledge of these facts
ought to restrain the New York
Press from such free condemna-
tion of American shortcomings.
Ii we think the Caucasian type
of men the best which the planet
has yet seen, we ought to have
some sympathy with efforts to
maintain its race purity-even
when these run on somewhat
crude, conventional lines. This
may be putting the case in a way
that our New York contemporary
would call cynical. But the facts
are unquestionable. And it may
be said, too, that the American,
and especially the Southerner,
shows an affection for the negro
who keeps in what is called "his
place" that the Englishman
never shows for the dark races.

WHERE ARE OUR BIG MEN2

1t is to be supposed that there
is as much brains in the Uni
ted States today as there ever was
before. And yet it seems that
there has never been a time in our
history when there were as few men
in public life who rise above their
fellows as at the present.
Men who are engaged in the
affairs Of government, or who are
ordinarily spoken of as cand dates
for high office, seem to be almost
on dead level of mediocrity, In
neither house of Congress is there
a man who is regarded as leader
and statesman above his fellows.
| Senator Hoar is man of ability,
doubtless, but he has in recent
years shown more of a capacity to
be lead them to lead. Senator
Hanna is the most influential man
in the Senate, but not by virtue
of craftsmanship. He possesses
none of the qualities which made
! the great Senators of the ante bel
lum period leaders, and none of
/ the brilliance of the later Repub-
licans, such as Oliver p. Morton,
Conkling and Blaine.
With the death of Hendricks,
Thurman, Bayard and the retire
ment from public life of Mr., John
G. Carlisle, VIM. r. Morrison,
and Roger Q. Mills the Democra-
tic party has been much in the
same plight. When one begins
to discuss party candidates
for the Presidency in 1904 no one
is able to mention a tolerably
available man in either party
whose name is as familiar to all the
people as were the names of Hen
bricks. Bayard or Conkling.
The name of Thomas b. Reed
is familiar enough, but he is not
keeping step with his party, and
be does not possess the knack
of catching step which Senator
Hoar 80 eminently possesses. When
Mr. Reed and Mr.. William l.
Wilson retired from the House of
Representatives there were no
Elishas in their respective parties
upon whom they could drop their
mantIes. 1t may be that the best
statesmen we possess find it i'm
possible to adjust their views to
party policies. In the old days
this was not necessary, as the party
policies were formulated by the
statesmen themselves and not by
the mere politicians.
1t may be that the best talent OF
the country is not available by the
United States Government because
of the superior inducements offer
ed by the great corporations or by
the rewards Of labor in other walks
of private life. Whatever the
reason may be the fact is to be
diplored.
