Fred Douglass and Harry Gilmore.

In view Of all the rumpus that is being
made over Booker Wasbington's dining
at the White House, want to recall an
incident which happened right here in
Baltimore % years ago. Many OF the
older readers of The American will boubt-
less remember it, When vice President
Wilson died in Washington, November
%, 1873, his remains were soon brought
to Baltimore and laid in state in the City
Hall. Among those who accompanied
the remains of the dead vice President to
Massachusetts was Fred Douglass, the
well-known representative OF the colored
race. At the City Hall armory lunch
Yves served to the escorting committee.
The late Judge George W. Brown walked
into the armory arm-in-arm with Fred
Douglass, and introduced him to Harry
Gilmore, the famous Confederate leader.
The three sat together at the table, and
the incident was commented on favor
ably. Is President Roosevelt better than
Harry Gilmore? And what is the differ
ence? | don't see.-Fair Play, in Balti-
more American.

HOW PRESIDENT LINCOLN STOOD.
He Was Opposed to Social Equality.

In striking contrast with the act Of
President Roosevelt in entertaining a
negro at his table in the White House are
the utterances of President Lincoln on
the subject Of social and political
equality between the races.
Reference TO the journals OF the Under
wood convention shows that the minor
ity report of the Suffrage Committee OF
that body signed by Messrs j. l.. Marye,
Jr., j. ~ Liggett, Eustice Gibson, and
Norval Wilson quotes from Mr.. Lincoln's
speech made at Columbus, Ohio, in his
canvass for the Senate against Stephen
A. Douglas, as follows:
81 am not, nor ever have been, in favor
of bringing about in any way the social
and political equality of the black and
white races. am not in favor of max
ing voters riurors OF negroes; of quail
Tying them to hold Office, or to inter-
marry with the whites. am as much
in favor as any man OF having tht supe-
rior position assigned the white race -

since the Declaration of Independence the

but forty-six Of Yirginia's eminent citi-
zens. and but twelve of these were chosen
by the people at popular election, and
these were chosen since 1851. Up to
1851 the Governors of Virginia were
elected by the Legislature and Of these
only three were chosen by the Nirginian
people at a popular election in the Com

of the Thirteen States. These were JOS.

LraIsLArrRE ELEcrEp rnEN.

LEGISLATURE ELECTED THEN.
BY the Constitution Of Virginia of l776.
under which the people OF the State lived
for nearly fifty five years, the Governors
were chosen annually by the General As
sembly. and after serving three years
were ineligible to reelection until four
years had elapsed.
So popular was Mr. Henry in his day
that he was recalled to the governorship
as soon as his ineligibility ceased to exist.
Virginia has had a great partiality for
certain names for her Governors. There
have been four Randolphs, Of whom Ed
mund Randolph was the first, and he, it
will be remembered, served in Washing
tons Cabinet, first as Attorney-General
and subsequently as Secretary of State.
There have been two Lees-Light- Horse
Harry and, later Fitzhugh Lee. There
have been three ylers-two John Tylers,
the first the father of the second John
Tyler, who was subsequently President
of the United States; and the present
Governor, j. Hoge Tyler, a distant con-
nection of the former Tylers. There have
been three Smiths, or rather two Smiths
-one Smith, Extra Billy" Gov. VIM.
Smith, who was chosen by the Legisla-
ture in 1S49 and served three years, and
who was again chosen by the people
during the war and served from the 1st
of January, 1864, until the fall of Rich
mond in 1865, or little more than four
years and a quarter, during his two
terms. and George W. Smith, who was
burned in the Richmond Theatre in 1S11 !;
and two Floyds, John Floyd and his son,
John b. Floyd, who was Secretary OF
War in Buchanans Cabinet.
Among notable Governors. were Thos
Jefferson and Jas. Monroe, who, as well
as John Tyler, were Presidents OF the
United States. Mr.. Jefferson served during
the war OF the Revolution, and had a
stormy time OF it fleeing both from Rich
mond and from Charlottesville to escape
from Tarleton, who tried to capture him.
Mr. Monroe was first chosen in 1779,
served until 1902, was again chosen in
1911, and resigned from the governor
ship to enter the Cabinet OF James Madi-
son. Benjamin Harrison, the grand and
great-grandiather OF the Presidents Har-
rison, was the fourth Governor Of
Virginia.

A compromise plan favored by some
army officials is to run an Atlantic line
as an adjunct to the Pacific line. Under
this plan there would be no regular
transport line with transports making
trips at stated intervals. A transport
could, instead, run out from New York
at Irregular intervals. whenever it was
thought best to send one from there in
stead of from San Francisco. This would,
In the opinion of these officers, who fav-
or it. make the saving in expense GER
TAIN for it would enable the government
to send out a transport only when troops
We're to return. or at other times when
the expenses could certainly be figured
down to the minimum.
II a regular line were run, just as is the
case at San Francisco. the government
would, they argue, be obliged to send
out ships whether the expense was $50
or S26 soldier. The trouble with this
compromise plan is that it will not be
acceptable to those citizens who are anx-
lous for the maintenance of a transport
me on account of it's convenience and
other advantage. The irregularity of an
adjunct line would destroy all it's at
tfactiNenesss to them.
