MIR. Cleveland on the South and Iti
Burden.

Burden.
The failure of negro suffrage TO uplift
the ,ethancipated race to the proper level
pf American citizenship was declared
and discussed by Mr.. CLEVELAND on
Tuesday night in a speech which merits
study South and North.
No previous utterances Of any states
man or philanthropist on this immensely
important problem have gone nearer to
the heart of the question. Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS remarks on the subject were en-
tirely free from cant: original. vital,
earnest and distinguished throughout
not only by generosity Of sentiment
toward the negroes themselves and the
Southern whites most Immediately con-
cened with the problem, but also by an
accurate and most sympathetic percep-
ton OF the degree in which the latter
can Justly be held responsible for the
failure Of the experiment. OF that fail
ure he said, in a single brief and clear
sentence:
II believe that neither the decree that made the
slaves free nor the enactment that suddenly in
vested them with the rights Of citizenship any more
pursed them of their racial and slavery-bred i'm
perfec'ions and deficiencies than " changed the
color OF 'Aer SKIN
SUBSTANTIALLY the same ADMISSION OF
failure and the same explanation OF
its cause were offered in the speech Of
a distinguished Republican, Secretary
Roof. at the Union League Club about
two months ago. Mr.. Roor said, with
candor equal to Mr.. CLEvELAND's:
THE question was wha, 10 do with the black man
who had been slave from hisinfancy. The answer
formsd in these walls WAS Give him citizenship.

Recent action of labor unions seem
to indicte that they are about to i'll
ustrate that old saying, "Whom the
gods would destroy they first make
mad" Certain it is, the demands
made by some unions in the past few
weeks, not only on employers, but on
the wage-earners themselves, creates
the impression that the men in auth
ority are mad with power. We fore
see an early rising of law-loving peo-
pie of this country that will effectual-
ly bring to an end the turbulent, mis-
chief-breeding and tyrannizing ele-
ment now in control of American
labor unions as a whole.

Mr.. and Mrs. Meach visited the Bond

beautiful spot, walking through a
blazed trail distance of five miles to
reach it.
That country gives a person
strength and an appetite which is
wonderful. Mr. and Mrs. Meach said
it did not tire them any to walk or to

The fact that the President rode
horseback about thirty miles in four
hours has been the subject of large
scareheads in good many of the
daily papers. 1t was stated also that
he started in the teeth of a terrific
thunder storm, the inky darkness only
interrupted now and then by lurid
blares of lightning. As matter of
fact the President mounted his new
riding horse just at the close of a
hard summer thunder shower and
took good afternoons ride at the
rate of about eight miles an hour.

On August Sth General Miles will
be retired from the regular army,
having reached the age limit, and
will be succeeded as Lieut-General by
Major-General Young.
The Office of Northumberland is
one created by Congress. 1t isa ques-
tion however whether, in time of war,
this office is not detriment to the
service, where the President, who is,
under the constitution, commander
in-chief of the army and navy, should
be able to select the most competent
Major General for his Chief-of-staff
and field commander.

The critics have charged that be-
cause General Wood is a friend of
Roosevelt he has been the object of
unjust favoritism. Beside the fact
that he well deserved his promo
tions, deserved them because he is a
man with the strength and ability to
do things, our contemporaries should
remember that President Nc Kinley
made Wood a Brigader-General. The
promotion of one step to Major-Gen-
eral in August will be the first adj
vance under Roosevelt.
