A CoIombian Exaciion

A significant story of the conditions
prevailing in the part of South Amer
lea where revolutions are periodical is
told by Peter MacQueen, the Boston
traveller, whose wanderings are as wide
as the hemisphere, says the New York
Tribune.
Il was getting ready to leave a small
stown in Colombia" said MacQueen,
when very much uniformed official
waited on me.
Senor,' he said politely, 81 under
stand that you have decided to leave
us tomorrow
Il admitted that my intention was
such.
Senior he continued deferentially,
I have called to remind Your Excel
lency that there is a charge of $40 gold
made for the privilege of leaving
II looked at the man in utter amaze
ment for a moment; then inquired
what reason was alleged for this piece
of robbery.
" All, senior, there is no reason.
"As / was anxious to catch the boat

Was the President misunderstood by
the Charleston people, when he was
there as a guest of the city attending
the exposition. in the matter of ap-
pointing negroes to Office, or has he
changed his policy? In the rather
lengthy letter from him to Charles
ton gentleman, which we published
yesterday, he says that he was mis-
understood. and he makes it very clear
what his policy now is in respect to
the appointment of negroes. He is go
ing to give them a showing at the
offices when he can find capable and
worthy men among them. and he in
tends to appoint them. in the North as
well as in the South.
It is no doubt a fact that the i'm
preston has prevailed in Charleston,
and perhaps in all parts of South Car
DINA that the President had practi-
cally made up his mind not to APP
point negroes to office in that state,
and doubtless this impression was
gained while the President was visit
ing Charleston. Perhaps he did not
say, in so many words. that he had
decided against appointing any more
negroes to Office, but there are some
things that lead to the belief that at
that time he had about come to the.
conclusion to adopt that policy.
II he had decided to adopt it what
caused him to change it? Undoubted-
~ the fear that the Republican party
would lose the negro vote in Ohio. New
York and other Northern states, vote
that might cost him the presidency
Since Postmaster General Payne and
Mr.. ClarksOn have taken charge of
his political affairs his attitude to-
wards the negro seems to have under-
gone a distinct change. Now he is.
acting like a man who has a political
object to gain and cannot afford to
lose a point in the game of politics.
But whether he was misunderstood
at Charleston or not. it is certain that
there is no possibility of msunder-
standing his position now. He is go
ing to give a negro an Office here and
there simply to show the negroes that
he is their friend-to keep them in the
ranks of the Republican party. The
great majority of the negro appoint
ments will be in the South however.
Very few offices will be given to ne
groes in the North.

"Thirty-three days of the session
have gone by, and only two or three
general bills have been,aeted on said
our legislative report from Atlanta of
yesterday. That means that more than
half of the time of the session is past
with pretty nearly all of the really
important business of the body still to
be attended to. What has the Legisla-
ture been doing? Have the politicians
who like to meet In Atlanta once a
year" been too busy fixing up states
to do much of anything else except
fiddle over minor and Local, legislation?
Have they given their time to looking
after political fences and passing
neighborhood bills to strengthen neigh
borhood cliques? If that is the size of
it, the state would be much benefited
by the adoption of biennial sessions.
The thirty-three days of the Legisla-
ture referred to have cost the taxpay-

dollars; and there is nothing of i'm

NOT IN THE DEMOCRATIC FOLD.

Hon. Abram Hewitt, in an interview
in New York on Wednesday, said that
he wished it distinctly understood that
he was not Democrat as Democrats
are to day. Il do not" he said belong
to the Democratic party as it is now or
ganized." He went on to say that he.
had been a Democrat all his life, but
that the party he used to call the
Democratic party was one of sound
principles.
Mr.. Hewitt voted for Mckinley in
1896 and in 1900 Still, ne says that he
is not a Republican and has no SYM
pathy with that party. 1t would be
interesting to know with what party
Mr.. Hewitt classes himself. He isn't
the kind of Democrat that Mr.. Hill
is, nor the kind that Mr. Bryan is.
He says that those who pass as DEM
ocrats now are Populists.
1t is certain that Mr.. Hewitt is not
in the Democratic fold, and he will
not admit that he is in the Republican
fold. After long years of honorable
service i'm the Democratic party, hav-
ing occupied a commanding and in
fluential position in it, he is now a
political wanderer. There may be other
Democrats who sympathize with him
to. a certain extent, but the number
that go as far as he does-to the ex-
tent of not sympathizing with either
faction of the party are very few Mir
Hewitt is getting very old and perhaps
his absence from the Democratic fold
will not be greatly missed.

Just about the only sane persons In
France to-day are the country peas
ants. They are honest and naturally
strong, mentally and physically. Paris
is a beautiful city, but it's all gilt.
There is nothing solid. There is moth
ing real about it. It's a sort of rendez-
vous for all the rich scalawags of the
world. Whenever the President of a
Spanish-American republic has squeez-
ed and defrauded his people up to the
rebefling point, so that he has to fly
the country. he. takes all his accumu-
lated stealings with him on a Decline
journey to Paris, where he builds ho-
tel on the boulevard and enjoys the re-
spect of Parisians all the rest of his
life. It's the same way with all the
pretenders and royal outlaws of E,u-
rope.
when their thrones topple over or
the revolutions which they have start
ed fail they take the first train to Paris
to recommence their plotting there. In
France to-day there are hundreds of
men who have titles of marquis or
count as handles to their names. They
aren't the real thing. They are sim
ply stage counts and noblemen, who
strut around in tinsel and tin armor.
There is no real nobility ip France. It's
all in the past. All the great states
men and soldiers and philosophers of
the country have passed away. In their
place are lot of decadents. Oh,
tell you, it's simply pitiful."
