Lilly Whites" and the Future.

The two communications which appeared
IN yesterdays Star on the subject Of the So
called Lily White" movement in the
south-the one from Alabama and the
other from Northumberland the position
The Star had taken. and gave some in
structive figures gathered from the latest
election returns Both communications de-
serve to be read with care. The subject Is
one of curious interest. and 1t may, in some
small way, enter into the next national
campaign
1t was not difficult to forecast these
figures. Months before the day Of election
rolled around The Star declared that the
Lilly Whites had not the slightest chance
of success al the polls. 1t was plain enough
even then that the maneuver would grow
weaker the longer 1t was observed. Who
could be deceived by a combination so
transparency unworthy? Who would care
to intrust power to a motley leadership
divided between a squad of ex-ballot-box
suffers and squad of all but odious in
CRATES. and both planting themselves upon
a proposition which denied the clearest,
highest principle of our free institutions?
Who would listen but with a smile of
amusement or contempt to such men yelling
themselves hoarse about character and re-
speciality? They did not intend to be
5ocular, but they were funnier than a bar
rel of monkeys. Not since the dkvl himself
set up in an hour of illness to be monk
has anything been quite so ridiculous and
diverting as this masquerade Of disgruntled
politicians seeking to obtain or to hold on to
Office.
There is some spIutter about carrying on
the movement Notwithstanding this reverse
at the polls, but how little worthy of atten-
ton 1t is may be understood from the fact
that Mr.. Hanna Is put forward as its spon-
scr for the future. The Ohio senator, it
seems hardly necessary to predict, will
undertake no such function. He Is not only
q man OF influence but a man of sagacity.
In the campaign for republican delegates
to the st. Louis convention In 1896 Mr.
Hanna as the leading representative of Mr.
Mckinley's interests solicited and received
valuable support from the south. There
was no color line drawn at that time Negro
delegates marshaled by Mr.. Hanna helped
William Mckinley to his first presidential
nomination Is It likely that the Ohio SEN
ator will turn upon those men now and
smite them? Were he to do so he would
fnJure himself far more than he would
them. He would lower himself to the plane
OF mere juggler.
Let the sout hern stables be cleaned by all
means-the stables of one party as well as
OF the other. But let the broom be selected
formed This Lilly White" instrument
would leave the republican premises fouler
by far than they ever were before.

President Eliot and Labor.

1t Is to be regretted that the Federation
of Labor at the New Orleans meeting re-
turned yesterday to the subject of Presi-
dent Eliot of Harvard and expressed itself
in terms of severe censure of his recent de-
liverance as to 1.-The strike breaker" This
was to indorse what President Gompers
had said in his opening address to the con-
vention, although his precise language was
not. adopted. Mr.. Gompers. as The Star
pointed out at the time, was not happy lin
the comparison he employed, and therefore
weakened in that way the force of his OBJ
servations. -=--
Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold were
undoubtedly a bad lot. They stand for a
definite order Of villainy. Their true place
in history Is fixed. But as awful examples
they are greatly overworked. Why employ
them SO often? Why see in every man who
differs from you and advocates an order OF
things to which you are opposed a likeness
to the man who betrayed the Savior, or to
the man who tried to betray his country
Judas was no ''scab," but was carrying the
purse for the little company of which he
was member. Arnold was no 'scab, but
was wearing the country's uniform. Both
men betrayed trust. Neither was at lib
erty to open the negotiations which in the
end justly wrought his ruin.
The word "scab'' has not as yet been &C
copied by the country at large at its union
labor meaning. We are just coming to that
point at Scranton. Non-unton labor, by a
decision Of the strike commission yesterday,
is to have an inning in the investigation.
Union labor Is accustomed to apply the
word to every man who accepts work while
strike Is in progress 1t takes the ground
that no man will apply for work in such
circumst ances but with a view and In the
hope Of tnJuring union labor. But this Is
by no means the popular opinion Of the
matter and we are to hear the side Of the
non-union men set forth at Scranton by
those prepared to present 1t. Until that
time at least the less we hear of the. word
as general term of reproach the better 1t
will be for everybody In interest. Betray-
ing a cause and trying to make an honest
living are different things altogether.
Organized labor has the sympathy Of the
country In all of It's legitimate purposes.
1t has recently scored under John Mitchell s
leadership a substantial victory. 1t Is going
forward to other victories, and the country
should rejoice in the fact. This Is the land
of labor. But when organized labor goes
on the tack of tyranny and intolerance 1t
loses ground: and it takes that tack when
ever 1t employs opprobrious epithets in de-
scribing either a renowned educator or a
humble working man who may happen to
have views Of his own about American op-
portunity and the rights Of the Individual.

A CoId-Blooded Resolve.

I like to SIT and theorize
On problems vast and deep;
To muse with slowly dropping eyes
And think myself to sleep.
The rugged road to fame and pelf
Let men more strenuous try;
I'll manage to content myself
With telling how" and why"
I shall assume manner wise,
But ne'er an effort make.
My task twill be to criticise
The other mans mistake.
And when the toiler Is forgot
My rank none shall deny;
For shah always talk q lot
And tell 'em how and Why's
This folly subtle and intense
In humankind appears;
Men won't believe their common sense
And yet believe their ears.
With phrases pompous and prolix
I'll struggle to supply
Life's great demand for golden bricks,
I'll tell 'em "how" and "why."

The lily white republicans in the south
are toadying to Hanna for the presidency,
but Hanna IL not eating frog. They oppose
Roosevelt because Roosevelt declines to
give federal patronage to republicans who
support the disfranchisement of the colored
race In the south. In other words, the lily
white republicans object to the memory
OF Abraham Lincoln. Roosevelt L. as much

HOT BLAST FROM: WALSH
National Democratic Secretary Says
the "Reorganizers' Are Allied
With Corporate Power.

A. Walsh, secretary Of the dem
ocrAtic national committee. Is sending out
mimeograph letters from st. Louis to all
the prominent Iowa democrats, ipr an ef-
fort to prevent the coming state sconYen-
ton from ignoring the Kansas CITY plat
form. Copies Of the letter were received
here yesterday. but this delegation will
vote solidly against reaffirmation.
~ Mr.. Walsh. Is doubtless to-day the fore
most representative, in personal way,
of William Jennings Bryan in Iowa. He
declares in his letter that the reorganiz-
ers who would repudiate the Kansas City
latfor1n want to do it, not In order to rid
the party of free silver, but in order to get
control of the, organization. ..,>e
Conceding, for himself, that the silver
question is as good as settled, for the
present at least; and admitting that most
silver men take this same view of it, Mr..
Walsh yet insists that the control Of the
party must not be turned over to the other
element.
!. "They desire,' he says, Ito put the
democratic party Of Iowa where it stood
when the railroad corpora tions of Iowa
and the wealthy influences were controll-
ing our party during the years prior to
1896. The great trouble with many of
these gentlemen is that while they are
with us on all other. questions except sill
yer, they are in reality on the side of
corporate power and wealth on every
question, and they are as little to be trust
ed In any honest effort to curb the trusts,
or lessen the political power of wealth,
as they were to be trusted on the money
question"

WERE ABLE TO RIDE HOME
But Glenview Golf Players Seemed
Destined to Take a Journey
on the Ties.

4 Chicago paper relates interesting story
in connection with the visit of the Glenview
golf team to the twin cities, few weeks ago.
According to this story, when the Glenview
men played an informal match with Minikahda,
the Minneapolis dwelt long upon the prowess
of C. T. Jaffray, who was pitted against Phelps
B. Hoyt, the western champion, whom Mr. Jaf-
fray later defeated at Glenview.
The Chicago players began to feel their coin
bsrning in their pockets, and soon, unknown to
either of the players, pool was arranged upon
the result of the oyt,Jafrray match. -,
At the seventeenth hole, the two men were all
square. Then one Of the Glenview men walked
up to Hoyt and said tmpressively:
If you don't win this match, some Of us will
have to walk home.'
They didn't, for Hoyt laid his second dead
to the hole and holed out in three. Jaffray was
only a stroke behind, but the Glenview coin was
safe.
The winners in the first round at match play
for the Watson cup and club championship, at
the Minikahda Club yesterday, were: F.. c.
Hale, A. W. Lawhead E. N. Fairchild and Den
man Johnson. The summary:
f. c. Hale beat H. J. Moreton up and 2
W. A. Lawhead beat L. S. Woodwork 4 up
