Those who are fond of talking about
Jeffersonian simplicity will doubtless
have much to say about the inaugural
yesterday at Washington in contrast
with the one on the same date in 1901.
But in this particular the st. Paul
Dispatch in its comments last evening
hits the nail on the head as to the
comparison of the two when it said:
"The one hundred years ago suit
ed the times perfectly the one of to-
day suits today as perfectly. There is
no possibility of either ever occurring
in kind agian.

In spite of the correspondents who
all winter have been sure that there
would be several cabinet changes with
the commencement of the new term,
none were made, and the old cabinet
was yesterday reappointed by the
president, and at once confirmed by
the senate. 1t is probable, however,
that change will be made within a
month or two as Attorney General
Griggs desires to retire from the de-
partment of justice, and resume his
practice of law,

FACTS FOR THE CONVENTION.

THERE is something startlngly pathetic
An the condition of the colored mau in
the south to-day which appeals to the
heart of every conscientious Christian
man who takes the time or exercises the
patience to investigate the situation as
1t is and not as it is painted to be.
For $50 years, this people constituted
the servile race and was regarded as the
legitimate prey of the meanest white
elements in the land of sunshine and
flowers.
Kind-hearted, docile, faithful and
generous to fault, the colored people
won the love and respect of all that was
good amongst the white people of the
Southland.
Almost unconsciously, they drew to
themselves the best white blood in the
country and caused the ablest, noblest,
truest, richest elements to recognize
their merit and concede their true
worth, declaring the colored people to
he the best servile class that God had
ever permitted to be created.
But in the midst of all this praise and
70 an extent adulation, the poor white
element looked on with envy and long

THE retirement of Hon. WILLIAM j.
BRYAN from the active leadership of the

OF the conservative voter doubt as to
the outcome of such movement.
That the sound money element of that

troll it, admits of no question.
Can the change be brought about
