constitutional amendment, the be-

constitutional amendment, the be-
ginning may be regarded as indefi-
nltely postponed. Continuous talk
of the evils which trusts do, follow
ed by earnest protests that we
must do nothing is fanaticism
against them, and capped by vague
generalizations about the remedy,
simply stirs up the stew in which
public opinion already founders.
The President warns against wild
ard fanatic attacks on corporation,
while talking glibly of the real
abuses of which the trusts are
guilty, without telling us what
these abuses are, or how they may
be remedied. This spreads fana.
ticism and confirms radical action.
1t gives the reckless enemies of the
industrial system new weapons.
They say that the trusts are public
enemies, that the President per.
ceives the evils that they do, with
out knowing how to punish or re-
strain them. Away with this help
less character The remedy is Gov
ernment ownership"
The Banker takes up the Presi-
dents remedy Of publicity" and
ridicules the idea that it can help
the situation. 1t says:
"What is publicity and what
may be expected of it' 1t is to be
feared that mere abstraction has
been endowned with a living soul
ready to sit in judgement and to
dispense justice with irresistible
power. The wrongs which mo-
nopolizers practice cannot be pun
ished or abolished by mere pub
licity. How will publicity prevent
a monopolizing association from
selling goods below cost of produc-
ton, when competitors are to be
extripated' Can publicity prove
and prevent an extortionate adavnce
Of pricesf Does publicity abolish
the benefits which monopolistic
concerns derive from the tariff"
All Of this is very true, and the
"Banker' realizes it must be evil
dent to everybody. The result is
that the President is admitting the
evils Of trusts and proposing no
remedy at all. Hence it concludes
"The masses Of the people are
sure where the President wavers.
They applaud when he adverts to
the evil practices of the trusts
but they smile grImely II they do
not harken with puzzled faces to
the lame conclusion. And it is
from the mass that conservative
men recoil. There is talk of revo-
luton in counting houses and bank
parlors The Presidents campaign
against the trusts afford these wor.
ried men no comfort Consequen-

To Queen Maria Christina, Spain
owes much. An Austrianprincess,
married in 1879, and left a widow
six years later, at the age of twen-
ty>six, she has fulfilled a difficult
task with wonderful success. Dur
ing the minority of her son, for
sixteen years Queen Christina has
ruled the most difficult nation for a
foreigner to govern in Europe, and
despite all jealousies and intrigues,
has won the hearts of the Spanish
people and the respect Of all Eu-

cause there was no answer.
The proposed tariff remedy for
the trusts the president touches
on for the first time. Here he
makes cardinal error. The propo-
sition to remove the tariff from the
trust made article is not for the
purpose of helping the little rivals
of the trusts. 1t is for the pur-
pose of helping the people, to
whom many of the trusts, by rea-
son of the tariff, are now selling
their goods dearer than they sell
the same goods abroad. Here is
an illustration of this which re-
Gently appeared in the New York
Journal:
Picture this little scene to your
self:
An American housewife goes
into a store and buys pound of
borax, paying S cents for it. AS
she turns away with her package
another housewife comes in, buys
two pounds of borax and is charged
5 cents for her purchase.
"Why do yon charge me 8 cents
for one pound of borax and let that
other woman have two pounds for
5 cents?" the American housewife
"Oh," answers the storekeeper,
blandly, "she's English, you
know"
How long would that storekeeper
openly discriminating in favor of
the foreign against the native Gus
toner, be able to do business any
where in the United StatesG
Yet this transaction in borax H.
lustrates perfectly what the trusts
are doing on a colossal scale in the
home and foreign markets.
"The mechanism of modern bus
mess is tremendous in it's size and
complexity' is the only answer the
president gives to propositions like
the foregoing. The people do not
find the answer a satisfactory one.

THE NEGRO QUESTION MAKING
TROUBLE IN NORTHERN
STATES.

|
which troubled the Republican
Party in Northern States at long
distance, has begun to give them
no little concern at short range
The Republican Party has be-
come tired of the negro question,
and the leaders of the party have
recently regarded with complacency
the disfranchisement of a large
number of the negroes in their
respective States. But the unload
ing of the negroes was even car
ried farther when the Republican
State Conventions in several
Southern Commonwealths have ac-
tually gone to the length of exclud-
ing negroes from their party
councils.
1t, however, turns out that the
negro political question, which was
first created to persecute and hu
initiate white people of the South
ern States, has come to annoy its
creators in the North. Negro
workers from the South are COM
peting with the whites in the great
coal and iron producing States of
the North, greatly to the dissatis.
faction and hostility of their white
competitors, and now the political
aspect of the negro question is
troubling the Northern Republicans
at close range.
1t is not generally known, but it
is nevertheless fact that in sew
eral of the Northern States and
some of the greatest of them, there
are enough negro votes, that if
they were turned against the Re-
publican Party, with which they
have always been cast, would de-
feat it. Ohio, Indiana and Illi-
nois have beer in many elections
carried by the Democrats, and may
still be considered doubtful States
if the Democratic Party will aban-
don its feuds and fads under some
able leadership.
Ohio has $4,000 negro votes;
Indiana has 5000 and Illinois has
81, 900. If these votes in their
respective States were turned away
from the Republicans to the Demo-
cratic Party, each Of those States
would unquestionably 60 against
the Republicans. This the negro
leaders in those States are threat
ening will be done in revenge for
the desertion Of the Republican
negroes in the South by their party
in the North.
The threat has created no little
concern among the Northern poll
ticians, who are claiming to lead
the Republican Party there, and
they fear that they are going to
face situation that will result in
the loss of several great States that
have long been depended on to
boost the party.
It is not Immediately proposed
to take any action against the dis
franchisement of Southern negroes,
but it is claimed that the cutting
of them of from all public patron
age, and the shutting of them out
of political conventions by the Lily
Whites in the South, are the griev-
ances which must be redressed or
revenged.
It will be extremely interesting
to see the whites in some of the
Northern States submitting to the
political dictatiou of their local
negro fellows, and any de-
in that direction will
prove highly instructive to the

a President 50 madly down on the
evils Of trusts stem fanatical action
against these great corporations ?"
The whole country is aware that
the Presidents S antitrust campaign
is merly game of buncombe and
that there is nothing IN it the trusts
have no fear unless it be that it
has served to increase the agitation
of the antitrust question through
out the country and cause rum
pus among Western Republicans
Realizing this fact the trusts served
notice on the President that he
must change his tune and this he
did in his speech at Cincinnatti

COMMISSIONER OF IMMIGRATION
FAILS TO BUDGE PRESIDENT
Returning to New York, He Admits
That He Is Certain of Removal,
but Cannot Tell Whom
Successor May Be.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Commission-
er of immigration Fitchie, who has re-
turned from Washington, talked very
freely today of his call on President
Roosevelt. He said he felt that his visit
had done no good, and that both he and
Assistant Commissioner McSweeney
would have to leave their positions. He
said:
Il asked the president to send gentle
men of his personal selection, in whom
he had perfect confidence, over to the
island and let them look into our methods
and see where we could do any better
for the immigrant than we are doing.
He would not listen to any proposition,
but said that he had decided, because of
the friction between New York and
Washington, that the best thing to do
was to remove the commissioners at this
place.
Il told him he was mistaken; that there
had never been any friction between New
York and Washington, but between
Washington and New York. He would
not listen to any argument, but fatty
announced his determination that both
Mr. McSweeney and myself must CO.
Mr.. F'itchie knows nothing as to who
his successor is to be, nor when the
appointment is to be made.
