wheelor and the Germans.


We have looked on with some amuse-
ment at the racket that has been kicked up
by Representative Wheeler, Of Kentucky,
in his reference to the visit of Prince
Henry. From a common sense view of
the whole subject in our judgment neither
Democrats nor Republicans are paying a
very high compliment to German iutelli-
gence. For either side to assume that Ger
mans would be offended at the speech,
Democrats fearing they would and Repub-
licans hoping they would become angry to
such degree that their votes at the COM
ing elections would be affected thereby, is to
set the whole body of our naturaiized Ger.
man citizens down as abody of simpletons
Intelligence, such as the Germans who are
now American citizens possess, is not
swayed by a speech made as Wheeler's was
We are neither apOlogizing for it nor CON
demning it, because it demands no apology
nor merits condemnation. 1t was in no
sense a reflection upon naturalized citizens,
and no hysterical reioicings such as have
been indulged in within the last few days
by our Republican friends can make it so.
Nevertheless we are not sorry Wheeler
made the speech. Not that we do not re-
spect our German fellow couutrymen, for
we do aud we are willing-nay anxious
that Prince Henry shall receive due atten-
tiou and proper consideration at the hands
Of the authorities, but we are not sorry that
there is a Democrat who can stand up in
his place and declare what his sentiments
are.
II is a sad truth-yet it is a truth-that
within the last four or Eve years very little
aggressive spirit has been shown by Demo
Gratis Up until the present session of Con-
gress if any criticism was heard of the
Republican management of affairs it was
done in a very perfunctory way so as to
give as little offense as possible. Men who
talked at all almost apologized for being
Democrats. friend remarked to us not
long ago that Mckinley, while living almost
put the Democratic party to sleep with
second lieutenancies. We are inclined to
believe there was some truth in that state
ment. The old aggressiveness Of Demo
Gratis seemed to be gone Now and then
fash would come but it was soon over
The present session of Congress shows
that change has come. In the Senate new
blood is on the Democratic side, and as
time goes on it will be more apparent The
debate on the Philippine bill there shows
an earuestness that has been sadly lacking
in late years. We are glad to note the
change. Our Republican friends must
pardon US when we say that in the late en-
counters they have been sadly over.
matched. Their arguments 1ave been
feeble and in every instance they have
been compelled to be on the defensive
We now simply wish to call attention to
the tempest in tea pot rumpus raised by
Republicans over what Wheeler had to say,
and our remarks concerning the Philippine
tariff debate is merely incidental
There is a question to which we may
allude later on and that is the repeal of the
war tax bill without opportunity for amend

would meet us ia the hotel parlor the next
morning. when we would talk over the
plans for launching our great enterprise.
That night we both dreamed of untold
wealth. The next morning we were in the
hotel parlor az the appointed time, but
there was no sign Of the venerable scientist.
We waited for an hour, and still he did not
come.
1t was not until we had waited for two
hours that we awoke to the fact that we had
been beautifully bunkoed We inquired of
the hotel clerk about our venerable friend,
but he had not seen him and knew nothing
about him. So we started for the laboratory
on South street. but as we had not thought
to take the number of the house, and as most
of the houses look alike, our search brought
no results. Then we decided that we had
seen about all Of New York that VIC cared
to, went back to our hotel and packed up,
arriving at the conclusion that Kansas was

Rural Free Delivery CONTRACTS.

The proposed change Of the Rural Free
Delivery ystem from the salary TO the con-
tract basis was to-day embodied in a special
bill ordered reported by the House Com
mittee on Post Offices and Post.roads. This
is intended TO take the place of a similar
provision in the post-office appropriation
bill which is considered inconsistent with
the rules. The special bill follows the form
Of the clause in the appropriation bill, AID
in addition prohibits the subletting Of Rural
Delivery routes OF the taking Of more than
one route by one person.-Siag, FEB. 25.
This change in the Rural Free Delivery
is ominous. After several years experiment
and the useless expenditure OF three or four
million dollars, Congress has about
come TO the conclusion that there is nothing
in it, The discontinuance of small post
Offices and the increased compensation Of
larger ones in consequence thereof, creates
strife between the people living in hamlets
and villages and the rural communities sur
rounding these small places. Rural de-
livery never did, aud IL never will, benefit
the small farmers. Market reports are Of
no special benefit to them as they have
very little to sell, and daily newspapers are

Mr. Dancy has the respect and confidence
of the white people Of his state. SO popu-
lariwas he that during the riot at Wilmington
a few years ago he was the only colored man
permitted to remain unmolested.
Mr.. Fancy showed his wonderful ability
as an orator and thinker when he delivered
his impromptu speach at St. Marks Metho-
dist Episcopal Church at Wilmington, N.
c., September 70, at the memorial services
ofthe late President VIM Mckinley in which
he said The knew no East no West, no
South, no North. He sought to establish
a civilization without slave aud without a
prejudice Mr. Daucy Seeks to bring about
a solution Of existing circumstance between
races by the will of God, and is interested
in all the people Of the country-the white
as we'll as the colored. Mr. Dancy comes
from one of the most respected colored
families in North Carolina. His parents
were slaves and naturally he was born in
slavery. Fortune, however, favored him,
for at the age Of nine years he was left to
fight his own way by the surrender of the
Southern forces. He is classed with such
type Of men as Booker T. Washington aud
Judson W. Lyons. He was a protege of
Prof. J. c. Price. the founder of Livingstone

sidered by many the greatest orator the
