Charleston Exposifjou.

BUFFALO. y. Y. Dec. 25-Charleston's
Exposition is credited with being the
cause of the absence of crime in Buffalo
during the shopping season for the holi-
days. This year has been unusually free
from theft in this city, and the police
declare it is due largely to the fact that
the Charleston Exposition drew many
crooks from Buffalo Immediately after the
Pan-American.
The absence of crime is emphasized 5y
the fact that Bu1aio's police department
has been drawn on to heavy extent for
quarantine service. as result Of the
smallpox epidemic. and the police service
in shopping districts has been badly Grip
pied in consequence, being less than one
third its usual size.

For several years "CarmelsviIle" tene-
ments have been occupied principally by
negroes, but this was the first serious
there.
According to what the police could
learn. some small white boys were anus
ing themselves IN One Hundred and Thlr-
tieth Street at o'clock this afternoon by
following and annoying an old negro
whose Christmas spree had made his gait
unsteady.
Three frishmen. according to the police
story. were walking through the street.
They were John Garrity. John McIIale,
and Nicholas o'Mara. The three men did
something 10 the negro-the police did
not learn just what Garrity, McHale and
o'Mara say they took the negro's part and
tried TO stop the boys from annoying
him.
General Attack Made.
The negroes who live in the neighbor-
hood say that the three not only egged the
roys on. but took hand in badgering the
old man. At any rate there was trouble.
A crowd of negroes swarmed out OF the
low and high tenements. and with a roar
closed in on the whites.
A brick hit Garrity on the back of his
head, and he lay senseiess until the police
got there. McIIale and o'Mara stood their
ground. probably because they could not
very wen get away, and called for help.
Twenty white men answered their call.

Under tho foregoing title the Chi pago Chronicle has the following to say with reference to the Southern policy of President Roosevelt:
 Relative to President Rooseyelt's 5 adoption of the policy of his prede- eesser as to the South, it is said that he expects to be charged with the bri. bery of Southern Democrats and that ne also expects to be accused by the negroes and their friends of abandon ms the colored race to it's fate
 As a matter of fact. why shouldn't ae be thus aeeused2 THo policy of which so much is expected in the way of increasing the st ngth of the Re. publican party amounts to this ex- actly. IL is plain bribery Of South eln Democrats. 1t is unmitigate1 abandonment of the black race
 The policy to be defended, if at all. Not by denying it's obvious methods. eut by explaining and jpstifying. if possible, the ends which are sought.
 The chief purpose of the corrupt office mongering alliance between Northern Republicans and Southern Democrats is the perpetaation of the Republican protective tariff To safeguard that institution something more than Northern Republican sup port is necessary. The events of the past few years have shown that pub liz opinions at the North cannot be depended upon in this matter. Rein zorcements must be had and the out look fer them is more promising al the South than anywhere else
 Protectionism, like slavery in tho old days, has much to give It has the war amendments to the constitution to surrender. It has the long time Re publican contention that citizens of che United States, irrespective of color or race are entitled to equality under the laws to give up. It has rca store of federal appointments to dis tribute. It has tariffs, subsidies. pen sions, bountics. appropriations and grabs of every description to bestow upon favored interests and sections.
 1t is with these things that South ern Democrats are to be bribed
 It is to fortify the monopoly tariff that the black race is to be abandoned.
 The president and his supporters in this policy will make a great ado over their purpose to create a division in the white vote at the South and 70 this end will assert that the suppress sion of the black vote is necessary. but they will not explain the matter any further
 The Republicans of the North as sent to the elimination of the black vote because it cannot be brought to the polls and used for protective tariff purposes. They will trade the col. cred race and it's rights. the federal offices and liberal appropriations for such Southern Democratic support in congress as can be delivered in favor ot eXlsung or new schemes of tariff plunder
