The sentiment Of the country is more ana more IN e'

south keep insisting diranchisng the coiored man.

he citizen The New York Mail and Express declares
that the extreme Of the doctrine that the
negro has no rights which white man is bound to re-
snect have at last reached solid ground They say the
time has arrived for beginning agitation for the repeal
Of the fifteenth amendment That is the only legal and
orderly way out Of the trouble OF course if 1t were to
succeed then the representation Of the south in congress
and in the electoral college would be greatly reduced
But none the less the proposal is the only lawful way
out Of the difficulty IT, many persons including
the Rev Dr. Abbott other northern men as FAR MIND
ed as himself are saying the amendment was mistake
why the sooner the question Of its repeal is laid before
the American people for action the better Perhaps 1t
might be well to have the Democratic party demand re
neal in its next national platform That would surely
start discussion"

A TARIFF REFORM DEVoTEE.

There are some things admirable in Grover Cleveland
and some again not SO admirable He modifes an
idea once it gets Judgment his brain In face Of the
most stnpendous proofs the contrary he ever sticks
TO his affirmative once it made Genton says of him
that he seems to have remarkable capacity for not
learning by experience He sagy repeats the advice OF
7S92-to make tariff reform the issue if nothing had
hammered during the last twelve years. With Mr. Cleve
land tariff reduction is the sacred solvent for everything
He can think Of no sacrifice too great for the nation TO
make to secure tariff reform He to have genius
for curing the evils OF prosperity. Well he certainly
has demonstrated that his doctrine will do this He did
# successfully in 1898 and the people will only give
him chance he will again in 1904 For curing the
evils of prosperity demand labor high and ex-
tension of business he can produce results
every time As the Boston Journal asserts the country
is not going to be twice in short time; there
will be no tariff tnierug 1904 and there will be no
calamity tariff in 1905 the Iowa idea the contrary
Notwithstanding
The enemies Of the American system are welcome to
enjoy the painful precedents of 1885 The American
public are not dating economic legislation from 1894;
thev prefer the gait that struck in the year 1897,
when something struck Calamity in the enactment of the
Dngey tariff Bosh fooled the folks in 1898 but you can
not fool most people twice with the same article
