WHAT TO DO WITH HIN.

The continued frequency with which
the United States between the whites and
the blacks gives added interest to everv-
thing that relates to the future of the
black race In this country. There is evil

the two races, never showing itself ex-

CARDS itself as the superior finds, or be-
lieves 1t finds. it's superior rights invaded

but everywhere throughout the country.
a probable occasion for arouslng bitter
racial feeling. The colored man re-
ceives less consideration and even less
of liberation, in the distinctively North
any time since freedom was accorded to
him. Fewer calIings are now open To
him. less regard is paid to his prejudiees
or preferences and vastly more social
rhdieule is east on him than at any time
since he used to be made to ride in niue
cars in the city of New York.
Some people have been disposed to
think that the race difficulty in this
country would in time adjust itself by the
disapl earance of the black race The
thought is delusion. The latest census
returns 1how that the American black
man Is in no danger whatever of dis
appearing through natural agencies. He
Is, so far as that is concerned, in the po-
sition of the chronic officeholder. He IS
disposed neither to die nor to resign and
emigration he is not seriously consider
ing.
The negro fiourishes like the proverbial
green hay tree in the states further
South. There may be some doubt sbont
mis- future in the border states. Because
of climate. social prejudices and political
tendencies, his life is far from being a
paradise; but the census returns show
that he realizes the advantages and dis
advantages of locality quite as well as
the next man, and Is accordingly more
| disposed than ever before to seek points
either farther north or farther south.
While Mr., Washington may tell us, in his
charmingly reassuring way.that the color
ed person is going back to the farm
with great rapidity of movement. the
figures of the census show rather that
he is speeding his way toward the city
and its temptations. Since neither fig
ures nor Mr.. Washington lie. this feature
of the colored brothers future must be
left open to dispute.

ways with us. and are likely always to
have. If We could ship him off to
Jamaica, San Domingo. Cuba, or the
Philippines, or some other of the tropi-
cal or sem-tropieal regions we might De
better off. But the figures as well as
the living facts, show that he is here and
is going to remain with u.s.
The loss to the negro race from alb
sorpticn by the white is never going to
affect the situation seriously. or, indeed.

end of him Socially he might as well
have committed some crime universally
recognized as placing him beyond the
pale of decent society. Had the woman
been white the public would hardly have
stopped to consider his offending.

splendid example of the truth that in the

POLITICS OF THE STATE

Inc Blue Earth City Post Is one of
the few Republican papers of the state
which holds to the idea that Gov. Van
SAINT can defeat former Gov Lind in an
off year The Post therefore disdains the
candidacy of Robert G. Evans, and saws
that Minneapolis is displaying inordinate
greed in asking that the gubernatoriaI
nomination be given to man of that
city The Flour City, according to it's
views, has had enough of such honors
and they should now be more evenly
distributed, says the Post. On the at
t1tude of the Post, the Lakef1eld Stand
ard, Republican, expresses the following
sentiment editorially:
We agree with the Post that in the
future honors should be more evenly dis
trfbuted. But with the expressed sentt-
ment OF the Post that Van SAINT can de-
feat John Lind in an off year we disa-
gree During the past two weeks we
nave been thrown into the company of
we'll informed Republicans from every
of them seem to view with dread a con-
test between Van SAINT and the ex-gov-
ernor. Even many of those who are
very friendly to the governor hold this
view.
The Sleepy Eye Dispotch in a very
dispassionate editorial recently discuss
ing the gubernatorial situation from the
Republican standpoint, hits upon Gov
Van SAINTS prime element of political
strength when it says that he has been
elected governor once and for that rea-
son would make a more formidable can
didate than either Robert G. Evans or
Heatwole, of the Third district. The
Dispatch very fairly points out the mis-
take that was made in failing to renem-
mate Gov. McGill and says that the dis
aster consequent upon this instance of
ignoring precedent should be warning
sufficient. This is view very generally
taken, but the Dispatch attaches more
significance to this element of strength,
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-07-15

applied to Gov. Van SAINTS Individual
case, than most Of the Republican organs
OF the state. The argument that the
governor would be stronger for another
race than Joel P. Heatwole perhaps Is
indisputable, for outside of few Third
district friends no one appears to give
and serious attention to HeatWole's
gubernatorial ambitions. But that Mr..
Evans takes second place to the COVER
nor in point of political strength may be
open to further discussion.
The Dispatches ultimate argument is
that Congressman McCleary is the
strongest man in all, and that he is the
one whom the Republicans should NOM
mate If Gov. Van SAINT does not decide
to run, presuming, of course that he
could be nominated if he chose; and, in
view of the action of the ring, he doubt
less could, too.
Sam Langum, of the Preston Times is
about the most talked-of man in the
Republican party of this state just at
present, judging from the country ex-
changes. Langum has been consistently
hammering away at the Van SAINT re-
glme, the governor especially, ever since
the last election, and his Republican
brethren are getting to think that it is
about time to stop the operation if pos
sible. The Lanesboro Journal has I'M
dertaken to beat or bluff Langum out of
the fight and hurls the charge at him
that his opposing attitude toward the
governor is based upon failure to get
the nomination for secretary of state
at the last Republican convention which
Langum says the governor insisted in
bringing about. The Journals interest
in the fight is obvious. w. w. Hall, the
editor, is one of that regime-secretary
of the dairy and food commission to
which position he was of course ap-
pointed through Gov. Van SAINTS infiu-
ence.

fair duchess the divorce was granted by
the church while that of the Earl was
granted by foreign court.
The Duchess of Kingston was maid of
honor to the Princess of Wales. This
was in 1776, a year easy for Americans
to remember She was eighteen years
of age and beautiful. She fell in love,
or thought she did, with lieutenant of
the navy. Their combined fortunes being
insufficient to keep them in proper royal
style, the marriage was kept secret.
In due time they quarrcled and the lieu
tenant went to parts unknown. Years
afterward the lady wished to marry the
Duke of Kingston, but found her former
marriage somewhat of a barrier, where
upon she appealed to the ecclesiastical
court and secured a divorce.
Armed with this instrument she mar
ried the duke and was brought before

many years the law of the kingdom
would have punished her with death.

The manner of delivering the verdict by

obvious reasons. determinable. In the
newer countries males exceed females in
number. In the United States, for In

The generally acceptsd reason for the

decreasing them in the old.

best authorities that the female uopuls-

sufficient to settle any dispute upon the
