= The Colored Voter Again.

The question of the negro vote, which has
become prominent again, is of Importance in
the present campaign. only as it relates to
the situation in the middle and eastern
states.
In the. lower southern states as eycry
well-informed man knows, the negro is en-.
tirely out of it politically. He is absolute
~ powerless. He may protest with all his
might against the injustice of the demo-
Gratis and the ingratitude OF the republicans
but his protest is in vain. The one side has
barred him from the polls and the other
side from the political conventions. and
there he is. Rail as ne may against the
Lily WITHSTAND there is a certain logic
in his railing-he cannot affect the case "a
1t now stands. He Is victim of cfrcumm-
stances very far beyond his power to con-
troll.
But what will the negro do in the states
where he is permitted to vote and where
his vote is counted? In some states he mus
tiers pretty strong on election day. His vote
is solicited by both sides. Where he exerts
himself he is q factor in the equation. He

Is advised In some quarters to vote against
the republican candidates as rebuke to the
LILLY Whites OF the south. He Is :old
that he owes this to his race. and that only
in this way can he hope to benefit in tine
end and his brother In those states where
politically he Is outfawed. No matter if
for the moment his vote goes to swell the
strength Of the party which Is uncondition-
ally against him. Better that than support
ing any longer the party which makes no
returns of any kind for support received.
VIII the negro in the middle and eastern
states take this advice? VIII the attitude of
the lilly Whites arouse him to that ex-
tent? Would he rather muster in future
under the leadership of men who have al
ways been opposed to his race, politically.
and are now opposed to it, than under that
OF men who appear to be playing fast and
loose with his fortunes? 1t Is an exceeding
ly interesting question It can hardly be de-
cided wisely in anger or bitterness. and 1t
is presented for decision in that spirit.

times count for anything, will prove to be

The Responsibility for Lawlessness.

Another word on the subject of disorder in
the United States.
With respect TO strikes in the mining re-
giOns, the remark is often made that the
trouble principally is with an undesirable
class of foreigners, who, unable to speak
English, and Indifferent to American insti-
tutions, are easily played upon in times Of
dispute; that, in fact, they rather relish n
row; that their presence here is due to
the grasping spirit of the mine operators,
who were seeking to lower wages; snd so
forth.
Let US examine this charge upon two
grounds. Is 1t at all likely that such men
would put themselves in open defiance Of
the law If they saw evidences all around
them and heard reports from elsewhere of
a thorough respect for the law both on the
part of American citizens in private life and
those elected to office to enforce the law
Would an ignorant. unenfranchsed minor
lily think of outraging a we'll established
practice and public sentiment? If 1t had
reason to fear swift punishment for Of
lenses, would it give itself up so readily to
offending?
In the second place, If the meu at fault
Were principally of the alien class should
We witness such sIowness on the par: of Of
ally recognized that politics plays a par.
In all of this unfortunate business? Are
not ambitious men who are seeking office
or, being in office. are seeking to hold on to
office. culpable in the premises solely be-
cause of their ambition? If there had been
no votes in the equation would the present
state of affairs in the mining region of
Pennsylvania have been permitted to de-
velop? Would aot the authorities long since
have grappled with 1t most resolutely?
No, it is idle to try to put the blame on
the ignorant and turbulent foreigner. He is
bad enough and where brought over for
the purpose of lowering wages he is unaa-
sirable enough. But ignorant and tur bu-
lent and undesirable he may be, he would
be amenable to rule if he saw rule the order
of the day But he sees no such Thing
He sees. Instead. the citizen violate the law,
and the sworn official lax about it's execu-
ton, and naturally he imbibes and exhibits
in his own conduct the spirit of ,,is sur
-roundinSs. The responsibility for lawi4ss-
ness in the United States Is to be laid at
the door of citizens of the United States.
Like citizen, like allen. There are laws
enough for all purposes. What is 4adel is
obedience to them. And where that obedi-
ence is not yielded willingly it should be
exacted by the strongest means at the COM
mand Of the authorities.

The Squire of Vantage,

Denying report that he would put in an
appearance in New York this fall. Richard
Croker said: They can do without me this
time. They can. That Is all arranged
That is part of the play. All that is asked
of Mr.. Croker now by his very recent fol-
lowers and coadjutors Is continued absence

be expected to comport himself strictly in
accordance with the wishes of those who
this year are responsible for results.

everything his own way at home In 1885,

But can they do without him next
time? That will depend Mr.. Hill is in
charge today. and probably realizes to the
full the weight of his responsibility. He

The Grand Review.

Today the veterans of the sixties march
in parade. Their ranks have thinned since
they last marched in Washington, ten years
ago. Posts which then showed full lines
are now reduced. The marchers have aged
perceptibIy. Their step Is not 80 elastic.
their endurance not so great. But their
spirit Is unchanged, their patriotic inspira-
ton as direct and strong, their devotion to
the cause for which they fought forty years
ago Is as deep as ever. They remain today
as they were when they enlisted to save the
Union, true Americans, whom time canno.
weaken in their allegiance nor physical
weakness deter from sacrifices.
Far greater however the contrast be-
tween this parade today and that grand re-
view of 1865, when the Victorious troops
swarmed hither from the front to march
past the President and to receive the piau-
dts of the people. Harried they were by
fatigues and weakened by wounds. Some
of them bore then the seeds of death.
planted during the days of camp and prison.
some faltered from the effects Of wounds.
Few had gone entirely unscathed through
the hell of four years of war. But in every
heart burnt the fires of ardent love of the
country which had just passed the severest
test to which a nation can be put.

nobiest thoughts. the finest and most en-
during sentiments. There is a whole Jme
spirit of reunion in the air. and these an
nual asssmblages OF the veterans of the
north no longer partake of the nature of
sectional rejoicing over the defeat of an
other great body of the people. The appear
ance of veterans OF the blue inspires none
hut the heartiest thoughts of comrade snip
both north and south. Few indeed are
those who bitterly remember the days of
the sixties, when even brother fought
brother, and father was against son.
But saddest of all is the reflection that
there must some day be an end to the
great spectacle of the veterans of the war
of national salvation presenting themselves
I'm marching array. Today there rode in
wheeled chairs at the head Of the line two
wartime musicians, too feeble to march,
but piping on their flies with undiminished
ardor and skill. Long may be the day be-
fore this greatest of national spectacles
will be reduced whole to such a basis.
May the veterans march for twenty years
to come. If spirit, and patriotic zeal and
devotion can hold at bay the attacks of
time. these men will march forever.

The President and the Veterans.

President Roosevelt's review Of the great
parade was one Of the happiest incidents Of
the day. 1t will be long remembered a
notable event of this encampnent. The
announcement made a few days ago that
his wound would not permit him to occupy
his regular position in the reviewing stand
caused the deepest regret among the veter-
ans, who regard him affectionately as man
and hold for him the greatest respect as an
official But the suggestion was made in
season that he ride past the line, thus re-
ducing the incidental fatigue to minimum
and permitting practically all of the march
ers to see him and to salute him. As he rode
down the avenue this morning and the
marching men swung into line to meet him
and the people lining the walks cheered lus-
tily even a finer spectacle was prese nted
than II the original program had been fol-
lowed. By this means many thousands of
people were enabled to greet the President,
an opportunity which would have been de-
MED them if he had stood or sat on the
reviewing stand.
Today's review was the more significant
because of the fact that the Grand Army d
year ago was deprived of the honor Of being
reviewed by the President. 1t was during
the meeting at Cleveland that President Nc
Kinley died He was to have greeted
his former comrades in arms at the en-
campment. So when this year there was a
prospect that the men Of the sixties would
be unable to meet the official command er-in
chief. the man who. in his own person.
typifes the later army. the volunteers of
1898, they were keenly disappointed. The
closest. bond Of sympathy and understanding
unites Mr. Roosevelt with the men whom
he reviewed today The same spirit ami
mated him four years ago that inspired them
forty-one years ago. 1t Is the American
spirit, which does not change.
