PUTTING food into diseased stomach
il like putting money into pocket with

eide to cross Mason and Dixon's line?
Where in the north, or the west, or the
northwest are conditions favorable to their
employment in large numbers? They are
not skilled laborers, and they are not ca
pable of sustaining the trials of cold
climate. They would speedily become a
charge upon the public, and thousands of
them would perish from disease and want.
This suffrage question is not to be set
tied by the extremists of either race. The
white man who contends that no negro
should be allowed to vote is as far out OF
the true reckoning as the negro who In
sists that every man of his color is en-
titled to the ballot. The best sentiment of
the country is anxious to see the incapable
and the unworthy of both races barred
from the polling booths; and while that Is
shaping and gathering strength by organf-
zation negro agitators In Alabama and
elsewhere are poorly employed in putting
difficulties in the way of the real friends
of the progressive members Of the colored
population.

Folly in Aiubuma.

according to latest advices the negroes
OF Alabama are listening TO some yerv
foolish counsel on the subject Of the new
state constitution. That instrument is to
be submitted TO the people, and a move
ment Is on foot 10 organize a distinct ne
gro opposition to acceptance. II the con-
stitution Is accepted then the negroes are
10 leave the state and seek homes else
where.
The making OF the new constitutional
performance in which the republicans had
practically no part-deyeloped some sharp
divisions among the democrats. They df-
vided on the suffrage question and on many
other questions. There appeared a radical
faction and a conservative faction, and a
feeling has prevailed that as the result OF
these divisions a hot campaign will be
necessary 10 insure ratification at the polls
But as the division on the suffrage ques-
tion related merely to the form In which
the negroes should be disfranchfsed, and
not as to the act itself, ii Is plain enough
that an active negro opposition TO the con-
stitution will but assist IN securing the in
dorsement Of the instrument on the day OF
election. That will emphasize the suffrage
clause and bring the democrats together
In support OF the whole constitution.
The talk about emigrating In a body is
nonsense. or worse. Where would the ne
groes Of Alabama go to better their condi-
tlon either as citizens or as laborers? To
any other southern state? Which one of

Indiscreet Tammany officials,

Tammany's official subordinates have not
learned from sad experience, it would
seem, that it is dangerous both to pat
ronize the illegal resorts and to squeeze
protection money out of them. Some
months ago one of the municipal commits
sioners was caught in a pool room raid
and caused a general laugh by the weak
plea that he was looking for a wayward
relative. 1t was later reported that he
was severely rebuked by Boss Croker For
gambling? Not at all. For being caught.
Now comes word that a police captain was
nabbed last night in raid upon an illegal
resort within his own precinct, against
which repeated complaints had been filed
and which had become so tntoerable that
the decent people Of the neighborhood at
last carried their grievance to the district
attorney. The captain excuses himself on
the ground that he saw the officers entering
to raid the place and that he followed
them. Doubtless when Croker returns
from Vantage in a few days this captain
will be informed that the objectionable sin
in Tammany's eyes is to be found out by
the reformers.

General Grosvenor of Ohio, who Is GER
tain to be member of the ways and means
committee of the next House. has returned
from visit to Europe In an uncompromis-
Ing frame of mind as to the tariff, and
confident that nothing will be done on that
subject by the incoming Congress. He dis
cusses the Babcock proposition at some
length, and declares that neither that nor
anything resembling it will meet with any
favor in protection circles. He pronounces
the Wisconsin representative a free trader
in his tendency.
Mr.. Babcock will not renew his PROPOSE
tion in it's original illogical form. but his
desire still is to reach those American
manufacturers who by the aid of protection
have built up giant industries, and are the
masters of the home market and rapidly
becoming masters OF foreign markets.
Their power is established. and so COM
pleteIy so that they are selling to foreign
ers at a lower price than to their own
countrymen This is something that is at
tracing attention throughout the country,
and in any attempt that Mr.. Babcock may
make to have Congress at least consider
the matter he will be assured of the SYM
pathy and assistance of many warm sup
porters of the protection policy.
Does General Grosvenor hold that protec-
ton to an industry is for all time? Shall
duties once laid be forever continued? Is
the growth of an Industry not to be taken
into account? When the American manu-
facturer is able to undersel the foreigner
in the foreigners own market has he any
ground to fear the foreigner in his market?
If not, what claim has such a manufac
turer on Congress to keep up duties when
he Is strong enough to stand without
them? What are they but gifts to him to
enable him to favor foreign buyers at the
expense of his own people?
The protection that builds up we all I'M
derstand, and a great majority of the
American people uphold. 1t has made us
a great manufacturing nation. 1t is de-
signed to foster infant industries. and we
have applied the policy most successfully
to that end. But protection to industries
that have attained a growth unsurpassed
in the world in their line, and which are
commanding and monopolizing markets in
every direction, is a new proposition. If
General GrosYenor stands for that he
should make the fact entirely plain, for In
that case he raises what Is practically a
novel issue in our affairs, and one to which
many protectionists OF the old school may
hardly be expected TO subscribe.

Let Sherfffs Shoot,

From the Jacksonville Times Union and Citizen
1t is much to be regretted that citizens
usually reputable should run their heads
into danger and force the officers of the
law to shoot them in defense of order and
justice, but warning sufficient has been
given and the sheriffs in southern states
VIII be expected to observe the obligations
of their oaths of Office. The case in Ala
bama was an aggravated one, for the trial
had been speedy and the sentence of the
court In conformity with public sentiment
as well as the law; moreover, the father of
the injured woman begged that no effort
be- made to forestall the sentence. But in
spite of all this, the crowd attempted to
take the prisoner, the sheriff defended him
and citizens We're shot 1t is most lamenta-
BILE that men will set themselves in oppo-
sition to the law-it Is worse that better
men be shot In defense of an atrocious
criminal, but we hope public sentiment will
sustain the sheriffs who do their duty and
a curb will at least be set on the lynch
ing habit. If martyrs must be made we
hope these will not be the officials who
stand up in defense of the law and order
of community-if some must suffer before
the laws can be yindicated we must con-
clude 1t Is better for the offenders to fall
thar the defenders of the good name of
the community. Some newspapers lay the
blame of the lynching habit on the 'shyster
lawyers" some on the abuse of the par
dcning power and yet others on the remiss-
ness of the courts and the sentimentaIity
of the juries, but all know that none Of
these excuses avail to justify an attack on
contempt without discouraging crime Let
the sherfffs amend the matter IL they may
and let the public uphold them in discharg-
ing their sworn duty.

Health officer Woodward in his annual

cent place for the fmpounding Of stray
dogs and also to the lack Of adequate IA
cilities for conducting the ARCHAEOLOGICAL

years the lack of a proper morgue was

silver and the Future.

Come to think of 1t, how many men who
followed Mr.. Bryan last year have In ex-
pressing themselves this year declared that
silver is dead? Anybody else besides the
chairman of the Virginia democratic con-
vention?
Mr. Mclean has made no such declara-
ton. He has declared only against the
use of the Issue at a time when It prom
ises no results. So far as may be inferred
from anything he has said on the subject,
he is as far from being a gold standard
man as he was last year. AS he reads the
situation, silver is simply shelved for the
time being, and not buried for all time.
The increase In the gold supply has eased
up matters, but were another pinch to
come in the business world there Is nothing
in Mr. McLean's present position that
would make a renewal Of his demand for
free silver coinage at 16 to 1 either sur
prsing or illogical. He Is still a friend or
silver, but on waiting orders.
Senator Daniel attended the Norfolk con-
vention, but he did not say, as the chair
man of that body did. that silver Is dead.
He probably stands with Mr.. Mclean.
Both of them have for years been advo-
Gates of free silver coinage and believers
in the quantitative theory Of money. But
the tlrginfan ike the Ohi0afl, Is Boou
politician and judge of the thickness OF
a stone wall Why try silver again at a
time like the present? But that Is not to
take the ground that silver as an issue
is hopelessly done for. Mr.. Daniels 8
speeches on silver are elaborate, and he
may not be expected to whip around in a
moment.
In announcing his candidacy for the
United States Senate Mr. Stone of Mis-
souri, makes 1t entirely plain that he is far
from being gold standard man. He is
another believer In the quantitative theory
of money, and sees in the increased gold
supply the reason why the smash predict
ed by the silverites failed to materialZe.
But he is prepared to renew at any mo-
ment he may think auspicious his agita-
tion for free silver coinage at 16 to l as an
independent act by this government.
And on. A review of the field up to
date shows that the change in matters so
much noted relates more to Mr.. Bryans
leadership than to silver. Mr.. Bryan has
lost ground, and If he disappears it will be
for good. But silver has lost ground only
with respect to a place among the issues
of the hour. Only one man out of the
whole number of it's friends who have
spoken has declared the belief that it has
no future.

Criminal Enterprise.

Yesterdays steamboat explosion on the
Delaware vividly recalls the old days on
the Mississippi, portrayed by Mark
Twain in his early works. Rival boats
were racing at full speed Each was car
rying every possible pound of steam. True,
there was no firing with the cargo, no
perching of a negro on the throttle no
excited croWding to the rails by passengers
frantically cheering as one boat or the
other pushed her PROV forward, no reckless
gambling on the result. The rough pic
turesqueness was gone. The passengers
were in the main unaware of the race
They felt the craft tremble under the great
strain, they saw the land slipping by faster
than usual and then they were visited by a
disaster which destroyed many lives. These
steamboat races in the passenger service
are distinctly contrary to the law and to
the usual practice of today In this case
however. the company owning the wrecked
boat, it is reported, was organized for the
express purpose of driving it's rivals out
of the field by maintaining a swifter sched-
ule. The boats were built for fifteen knots
and were forced at times to travel twenty
one OF the engineers, who was killed by
the explosion. predicted his own death on
the very day of the disaster because of his
knowledge that the craft was being over
worked in the intense competition between
the companies. A searching investigation
should be instituted at once into the facts,
and if it should be disclosed that the con-
ditions now reported actually existed on the
river, prosecutions for criminal reckless
ness should follow, to deter the managers
of lines in other waters from engaging In
such a dangerous enterprise The times
have passed when public opinion justified
the taking Of such grave risks with human
life for the sake Of prestige or patronage.

The same experience has been had with
practically every other feature of the local

depend upon the erection of a municipal

What's i'm n Name.

What's in a name?" the poet asks.
And as the words you scan,
The question really seems too much
For ordinary man.
Yet to the youth named "Algernon'
Girls speak in gentle tones,
And smoker when they're introduced
To "Hezekiah Jones'"
And patriotic citizens
Display their mental skill,
And name the city "BIuemont'
That was once called "Snickersville. "
And the belated wanderer
His soul to sorrow gives
If suddenly the powers rename
The street on which he lives.
And SO with due respect unto
The song the poet sings,
You must confess that in a name
There may be lots of things.

The stories of the finishings Of the new
