LATE SUPPER.

The fact that the real estate market
here Is active Is quite forcibly empha-
sized by the fact that all the real estate
transactions recorded for more than
week have been transfers OF Riverside
property. Most OF the purchases have
been made by people who bought FOR res
Idenccs and several people have acquired
land for the express purpose of building
al once Tenements at most any price
have been at a premium here for some
time and any action which tends to re-
llcve the conditions Is joyfully hailed.

DANGEROUS FORCES.

The frequency of strikes in all sec
tions of the country, inaugurated and
kept up almost entirely by Foreigners
in organizations Ostensibly for the pro-
lection of labor, but too often made
clOaks for red-handed lawlesSneSs. is
becoming alarming. The anarchists
and cranks who kill our Presidents
are generally members of such So
called labor organizations. These
blood-thir;ty foreigners come to our
shores to gct rid of monarchial tyran-
ny in their own governments, and the
liberty of our American institutions is
misused as license to conspire against
the life and safety of the republic
The efforts of certain Italians to
blow up our ships with dynamite show
that il l.: high time for the govern
ment to devise and adopt measures to
restric. immigration against these
murderers, with such zeal as char
acJeriZe it IN keeping out the indus
trious, law-abiding Chinese. The con-
slant conspiracies to attack our public
men also constitute elements of the
dangerous forces running wild in this
country, which need to be checked at
once by the strong arm of the govern
ment-
The hellish work of planting infer
nal machines like the one left on the
Cunard pier in New York, for the
wholesale destruction of thousands of
innocent human beings and millions

by the protection afforded them by
the government, only that they may
strike more deadly blows at its life
and the lives and property of its citi-

1t is pleasing to note that black
Americans do not engage in any of

OUR NEW POSSESSIONS.

With the acquisition of new terri
tory, and a population differing IN
language and civilization from the
greater portion of the American people,
a new problem is presented to the Uni
ted States. Up, to the present time
only two races OF people have taken
part in American politics. the white
man and black man. The red man has
been IN the Government but never
part of it. The majority OF the people
in our new possessions very largely
belong to the browns, the status of
whom has not as yet been defined, but
as they constitute the inhabitants of
our possessions in the orient, and will
necessitate a recaSting of international
law, and probably a modification of the
Monroe doctrine, it behooyes us to give
some earnest study to this problem.
In dealing with this question it
should be borne in mind that the Span
lsh government never made any dis
inction on account of color, and the
United tSateS government will commit
an objectionable error by permitting
any cOlOr-caste to be tolerated IN the
Philippines, or any other part of our
new possessions. The Republican
party is in power in the United States
and has been in power ever since the
islands of the sea, and VIII be held
responsible for the race tone and senti-
ment in the territory above referred
to.
President Roosevelt was not at the
head of the American Government
when this new territory was acquired,
and the policy adopted at that time
cannot be said to be his policy but
his adm njnlstration will be held to. ac-
countability for things done in these
islands at the present time. The Pres
ldent appreciates this fact and is TAX
ing the steps necessary 10 inform him
self OF the true situation In our new
possessions. The cOlored soldiers sta
toned in the Philippines know a great
deal about those islands, and could
give valuable information res pecting
them. Chaplain T. G.. Steward, and
other colored officers of our regiments
could give volumes of useful lnforma-
ton 20 the Government at Washington
relative 10 the condition of the people
OF the Philippines, and their adapta-
bility to our civilization, but they are
