The Negro Holding His own.

The statement has been made by tho~e
who assume to speak from scientific ba-
sis of careful investigation and proven
fact that there does not remain one per-
son of pure African blood within the lin
it's of the United States. 1t cannot
MED that this solution of the race PROV
lem is one most repulsive to the Anglo
Saxon family, but, if the tendency be
true the danger will increase as the years
ela2se. Locally, the mixture may be
recognized. but travel is free, and
coming of other races will make II u
gradations all the harder to dete,t IN
communities unprepared for danger of
contamination and unsuspicious of claims
of descent from the darker Europeans.
Anthropology does not tell us how far the
ruin of Spain may be due to the admix-
ture of Eastern blood already contami-
mated in Africa, but we have warnings
sufficient in later history and the fate OF
populations yet under our observation.
Emphasis TO this fear is drawn from
the fact disclosed by the late census that
the negro is holding his own in the South,
despite his emigration to other sections,
and the coming of the whites from other
states and Europe In 1850 the negro pop
ulation of Florida was A per cent of the
whole. in 1880 425, in 1900 1871. In view OF
our white immigration, the negro is cas-
ily holding his own in THIS state, and the
loss in other states is seldom larger With
in the same time.-Florida Times-C mon.

WHO KEEPS HIN THERE'S

In the intensity of public feeling
aroused over the naval court of inouirv
the immediate author of the Infamous at
tack made on Admiral Schley has gone
unnoticed From time to time. however.
he comes into public view His latest
appearance is occasioned by the state
ment imputed to him that in the event
of the court of inquiry exonerati Ad-
nsiral Schley he will eliminate the often
sive matter from the publication.
Maclay is still an employee of the
United States, acting as clerk in the
Brooklyn navy yard. He wrote his book
while acting in that capacity. 1t does
not seem that he came by his clerkship
by other than the usual means His in
fiuence with some one or more of the
officials of the navy yard or of the war
department no doubt obtained him his
employment. It is far from likely that he
comes under any civil service regulation.
Whose influence is it that has kept this
man in his job notwithstanding the
criminal libel which he has wrought on
Admiral Schley? His book charges the
admiral with being a caitiff The coun-
sci selected by the department to prose-
cute the charges against Schley has
specifically repudiated the charges of
cowardice Yet the author of that
charge remains in the employment of
the war department. The circumstance
i not of much Importance; but such as
it is it should be borne in mind by the
public in the determination of the ques-
ton, which will certainly force itself up
for settlement ultimately, aside from all
courts of inquiry, whether the war de-.
partment through its leading officials
were behind the cowardly attack made
on Admiral schley.
1t is scandal that this man should re-
main in the employ of the government
under the circumstances. He certainly
ought at least to have been suspended
until such time as the truth or falsity of
his statements was established The
fact that the proofs of the offensive spor-.
ton of his book were read by the rank
ing officer of the navy ought not to save
i...l from the responsibility which is his

ONE nfyD OF REFORM.

The wisdom of the politician is not
has it's illustration in the recent fusion
victory won in Greater New York.
The most instructive Illustration which
the politics of any state or municipality
in the country supplies of the value OF
home rule for cities is furnished peril
odically in the city of New York and
it's affairs. Charter tinkering. has been
for twenty-five years a political in
dustry down there which operates any
and every way. There has usually been
a Republican majority in the state legis-
lature, fact which, will explain why it
is that the big metropolis has had so
many and such a beautiful variety of
charters in that time
When the hunger and thirst of the
Republican reformers in New York goes
beyond all reasonable bounds, and there
is no immediate prospect of its being
satisfied, there is at once an amend
ment made to the city charter cutting
off the prerogatives Of the local offices
held by Democrats. Then when there
appears some reasonable hope that with
iudicious political legislation the Re-
publican reforrlers may be able to get
their clutches on The metropolitan offices
the lever is reversed and the terms as
well as the emoluments. of the offices
are increased with the understanding, of
course, that if Republican hopes have
been blighted in the coming election the
lever can be again reversed, and mat,

before.
1t is because of this principle that

spots within that time? Says our con-
temporary:
The address by Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge before the Middlesex club at Bos-
ton is significant of the ettitude that will
be assumed by the Roosevelt adminis-
ity. Senator Lodge came out fat-footed
in favor of ratifying the reciprocity
treaties already framed and negotiating
others with foreign countries, to the end
that new markets may be opened for our
foreign trade. He also declared himself
in favor of reciprocal trade relations
with Cuba, expressing the belief that this
IS of first Importance. What gives these
views by Senator Lodge special signifi-
canoe is the fact that he is a close per-
sonal and political friend of President
Roosevelt, and it has been generally I'M
derstood that he will be practically the
mouthpiece of the administration on the
floor of the senate.
