VOTERS.

Neither is it time to show indiffer-
ence to the wrong the Democratic par
ty is committing today in the Southern
States against the black man, whom it
is robbing of his suffrage under the
forms of constitutional amendments
and legal enactments that are in vio-
lation of the Constitution of the Unit
ed States. This is worse, if possible,
than the inhuman lynchings of which
we read almost daily, because it is
without provocation, and is blow
aimed at class and the government
of a nation.
Constituted authority must find a
way to suppress these wrongs, or the
Government will deserve to lose the
support of a race that has shed it's
blood for our flag in every war and up
on almost every field where it has
waved Brave. heroic, gallant men
were they who side by side with their
white comrades, have borne our flag to
victory in all our wars. They helped
us to conquer our independence, to
form our Union, to preserve our ma
tional life, to carry liberty and freedom
to Cuba, and to plant our banner in vic
tory on the islands of the seas. They
are entitled to the protection of the
Government for which they have SO
bravely fought. 1t is an inexpressible
shame that such protection is denied
AS they have shared our labors and
perils so must they share our rewards
In what way their rights will better
be secured is an unsolved problem, but
until they are fully protected and Dem.

THE APRIL ELECTIONS.

Some unexpected local successes at
that reform was unnecessary; that on
the contrary it might improve it's
chances of success to become worse in
stead of better. To do that was easier
1t required no effort. The thought was
an inspiration.
At once there was a marvellous
change. Humility gave way to arro-
gance, and now we again hear the
blare of horns, the rushing of feet and
the shouting of captains.
1t is only June, but already, over and
over again, IN Democratic newspapers,
and Democratic imaginations, there
has been great Democratic victory in
November.
What does it all mean? What has
the Democratic party done that enti-
lies it to a new hearing in the peoples
court? Has it turned new leaf? Has
it abjured free trade? Has it forsaken
free silver? Has it cast out populism?
Has it followed Aguinaldo's advice and
taken the oath of allegiance? Has it
denied any article of it's platform?
Not one.
Its official declaration of principles
remains identically the same bundle Of
un-American fallacies that the people
condemned last year and years before
NEW QUESTIONS.
If it has done nothing, what then
does it propose to do? Can any man
| ell? Does any Democrat know /?
Great questions concern us. How will
it deal with them? What about mer-
chant marine, the Nicaraguan canal,
Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines?
These are stupendous problems.
They are worthy of the highest and
best thought of the greatest men of
America. They are of the highest dig
nifty. They are pressing for solutions.
Our power as nation, our prosperity
as people, our good name, our honor
are all involved.
We cannot afford to grope in the dark
or guess or experiment, or halt, or hes
itate about such matters.
If we are to send an additional num-
ber of Democrats to Congress how will
they speak and vote on these ques-
tions?
Are the policies of Mckinley to be
continued, or discontinued? Is our
flag to come down or stay up? Where
my Democratic friends. do you stand
We know where you stood last year
but where do you stand this year
What answer do we get?

BY return to the policy of protec-
tion and by the preservation
of the gold standard, we
brought prosperity to the nation, ex-
posed the fallacies of free trade and
free silver, and left the Democratic par
ty without an issue.
THE CAMPAIG OF 1900.
Then came the Spanish-American
war with its new duties and new ques-
tions. Bankrupt Organism took a new
lease on political life. Old issues were
gone but new ones were quickly made,
AS usual they involved an attack on
the dignity and power of the National
Government
We were told that we had no power
to hold and govern conquered terri
tory except as a part of the United
States; that the Constitutions followed
the flag, and wherever we raised the
one We luuSI dJ OlNS Apply lhC Otntl
and that any other government was an
unconstitutional usurpation which the
inhabitants might lawfully resist; that
Aguinaldo was Washington and
Mckinley a despot; that the Filipinos
were patriots struggling for liberty
and that we were oppressors denying
freedom and destroying with the
sword; that our flag must come down
and our army must come home.
Such were the contentious of 1900.
Once more the people sat in judgment.
Their verdict was the triumphant re-
election of William Mckinley and to-
tai collapse of Democratic claims, pre-
tensions and policies.
1t seemed as though their day of woe
had come. Their flag was in the dust;
their columns were routed; their is
sues were gone; free trade was gone;
free silver was gone; idleness was
gone; discomfort was gone; govern
ment by injunction was gone; imper-
ldllSlu MdS SOuey anu hO", hhdlly, even
| Aguinaldo is gone. He is no longer d
Washington, but an apostate. He has
taken the oath of allegiance, and has
advised all his followers to do the
same. Henceforth he is impossible
as a Democratic leader.
When Aguinaldo passed only one
hope remained, and that was the Su-
preme Court, but now, alas, that, too,
is gone.
Under such circumstances any other
party would dissolve and die, but not
so with the Democratic party. Not
withstanding all, it still lives, as evil
| lives.
From November last until April it
appeared to be in a state of RETROSPECT
ton, introspection and plans for reor-
| ganization.
For the first time in its history it
seemed to have realizing sense of its
utter unfitness for public trust, and to
be seriously concerned with plans to
rid itself of populism, communism and
all the other isms that marked it's de-
parture from Jeffersonian patriotism
and Americanism. This was a good
work, but It was not completed, and
never will be.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1901-06-25

We are told that although our cleo
ton has direct reference to our repre-
sentation in Congress, and those great
national and international questions,
yet we are not concerned about them
at this time; that the next election is
to determine only whether three cent
fares shall be charged on street rail-
roads, and whether or not the field
and opportunities of the political boss
shall be enlarged by municipal owner
ship of public utilities, and whether or
not in the name of Single Tax the
farmers, and other real estate owners
and holders shall be compelled to bear
all the burdens of taxation, while those
who hold mortgages and stocks and
bonds shall be made a privileged class,
and be exempted from all the expenses
of government.
These are not the questions we are
now to settle.
They are brought forward now only
to divert attention from the real issues
and because they appeal to the discon-
tented, the disappointed, the visionary,
the communistic and anarchistic
classes.
The Democrats have made a great
many serious mistakes, but they will
scarcely commit the folly of adopting
such doctrines. The wise conservative
and patriotic men of that party are
protesting against such a course, and
their voice will most likely be needed
But what then? The party will have
recoiled from a precipice, only to fall
back upon itself. And what is that?
The leopard cannot change his spots; -
| neither can the tiger The controlling
spirit of Democracy means this year
just what it meant last year. We could
not endorse it then; neither can we
endorse it now. If we would continue
our prosperity we must uphold the pol
icies that gave it to US. If we would
maintain our national credit, and pre-
serveour financial honor, r,we must keep
out of power the party that destroyed
the one and threatened the other. This
is not time to daily with free trade, re-
vive free silver, or pet populism.

EXPANSION.

But there are other questions of the
highest Importance. We are beset with
new and untried difficulties. We have
had war. We have changed the map
of the world. We have acquired new
territory, and with it have come to us
We have assumed them, and must
faithfully discharge them or stand dis
credited before the nations.
The Republican party has an intel
ligent policy on this subject. 1t has
been proclaimed to the world. We
have acted upon it. We have legislat-
ed to carry it into effect. We are ex-
ecuting it with successful and trium-
phant results. 1t should have univer-
sal support, but instead it has fierce
opposition. 1t was attacked last year
as unconstitutional The Supreme
Court has answered the assault, and
they are attacking the Supreme Court

Mr.. Bryan declares that it's decision
in the Porto Rican cases is as infam-
Gus as the decision in the Dred Scott
case, and calls upon Democrats every
where to ralley for it's overthrow.
Senator Tillman denounces it as
damnable, and says that we are to have
battle to the death before it is finally
accepted. Other Democrats, great and
small, say it means the end of the Re
public; that Mckinley is Emperor;
that our liberties are lost; and all join
in declaring that the next political con-
test will be as to whether this decision
shall stand. If they make such an is

All bugland is up in arms over the
announcement that 10000 ladybugs are
to be captured in the Berkshire hills,
placed in cases, and given first-class
passage to Cape Colony, where they
will do patrol duty in driving out some
other bugs and insects which are not
SO desirable. William Beutenmuller
of the Museum of Natural History de-
clared that it was a shame to take the
ladybugs away, because we cannot
spare 10000 of them Besides, he
thinks the trip will prove too long for
them, and that before they arrive
there the greater part will have died.
The Beers have great faith in the lady
bugs, and think if they once get start
ed there they will end the Boer war,
GUST Cecil Rhodes, and probably deter
mine who struck Billy Patterson. Mr..
Beutenmuller says the United States
borrowed a bunch of them from Aus
tralia a few years ago, which were
turned loose in California, and were
largely responsible for the develop
ment of that glorious state.-Chicago

That the German government Will
in any way resent the arrest of Abel
Murillo on board the German steamer
Allegheny at Cartagena, Colombia, is
extremely Improbable. The Colon
bians may have erred in refusing the
Allegheny clearance merely because
her captain refused voluntarily to de-
liver Murillo to them But their right
to remove Murillo from the ship is un-
questionable The German consul's
reported protest against his removal
had no legal basis Murillo's theat-
rica1 performance in wrapping the
German flag about his body in no way
altered the situation
The. Allegheny was in a Colombian
port and while there was subject to
that country's laws A merchant YES
sci SO situated cannot afford a refuge
to persons of her own nationality,
much less to subjects of the country in
whose waters she is. Great Britain
has sometimes attempted to establish
the principle that British ships are
British territory wherever they are,
but the United States settled that
point with her in the war of 1872. The
United States has always maintained
the right to do precisely what the Co
lombians did. American police have
often searched English and other for
eign ships in our ports and arrested
persons thereon, and have always been
sustained by Washington.
The uproar about Murillo's arrest
proceeds from his fellow passengers.
One of these, and apparently the wri-
ter of the statement they gave to the
press is an Englishman. His animus is
disclosed by the last sentence Of the
statement, declaring it safer to take
a steamship covered by the ever-re-
spected union jack" Anxiety to make
a point against Germany and in favor
Of England appears to have inspired
this Briton's effort to convince the
public that the German flag was Gin
suited" by Murillo's arrest.
The Murillo incident would probably
have attracted no special attention
were not the impression somewhat
general that Germany greatly desires
to obtain some political foothold in
South America, and hence is likely to
seize upon almost any small pretext to
make such an attempt. Whatever may
be the German governments desires in
that direction is not material. The
Monroe doctrine is a barrier to any
such aims, and both the interests and
the safety of the United States demand
that the Monroe doctrine be strictly
enforced. 1t will be enforced, against
Germany or any other power attempt
ing to violate it.

1t has been decided by high medical
authority that there is danger in wear
ing some of the beautiful tinted silk
stockings one sees in the shop win
dows, and this is the reason:
In producing certain delicate colors
in silk chloride of tin is used as a
mordaunt, and it is said that unless
great care is taken large proportion
of it remains in the completed fab
ric. In the case of stockings or any
garment next the skin the Precipitation
may dissolve the tin and it is then
absorbed by the skin. A case is re-
ported from Vienna of a woman who
suffered from attacks of paralysis in
the lower extremities, with numbness,
sense of GOODNESS, and a peculiar
jerkiness of the legs in walking She
noticed that whenever these symptoms
were the worst her feet were colored
yellow, and it was found that this
staining was caused by light yellow
silk stockings which she wore. They
were analysed and considerable guam
titles of tin found.

Electric Formir&.

The up-to-date farmers with a large
acreage finds it slow work to pillow his
fields with the old single plows of the
past, and so he utilities the electric
current and multiplies the number of
plowshares to suit himself. In the
West this is practically a necessity, on
account of the large size of the fields
and the cost O. labor and teams. Our
illustration shows a convenient form
of motor pillow which has been de-
signed by an inventor in Friedrichs-

electric motors operating winding
drums on separate carriages, which
may be placed at any required distance
apart, only one motor being connect

ply power to the second motor a feed
cable lying parallel with the traction
