CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier-Journal
(Dem.) says: THE labor element can
only be injured by steps which assume
that it is above the law. All classes
are under obligations to uphold the
law, and in the long run will find that
such a course will best subserVe their
interests"
The Mobile Register (Dem) says:
I'm 1900 the South supported Mr..
Bryan, as it did in 1896, because he was
the nominee of the Democratic party,
not because he was Mr.. Bryan or for
the reason that he represented politi-
cal creed. Knowing the compulsory
unity of the South, a unity demanded
by that first consideration in the moral
life of a nation, domestic sanctity, is it
not more reasonable to say that the
Democrats of the North foisted Mr..
Bryan and his principles upon the
South than to assert, as the Chicago
Chronicle does, that the process was
reversed?"
The Washington star Qnd.) says:
1T would be an interesting commen-
tary on the turn of affairs if the In
dams of the San Bias region of the
isthmus of Panama were to prove an
insurmountable obstacle to the advance
of the Colombian army to suppress the
Panama SeceSSiOniStS. For at San Bias
is route for an isthmian canal which
was once highly exploited and seriously
considered by engineers, an active rival
of the Panama route, and even now
occasionally mentioned as an alterna-
tive in case both the chief routes should
become impossible by reason of finan-
cial or political complications"
The New York Press (Rep) says:
mo bonus-that is, ship subsidy-has
ever created, restored or maintained a
nations shipping, and no ship subsidy
ever will. Business does 1t, always has
done it and always will. France has
tried subsidies and failed, and Spain
ana Italy. The greatest success
achieved by a German navigation COM
pany has been without subsidy or bo-
nus, but Germany has given that line
business. British ships without sub
sidy have driven subsidized fleets Of
other countries out OF operation be-
cause the British policy-the regular
programme of all Britons-+>>So provide

try built up a great maritime power

A very notable duke, who has es-

DOING GoRMAN INJrsTIcE.

Commenting upon the objections that
are being offered to Mr.. Cleveland as
possible candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination Of the Democratic party
and the announcement that Mr. Muir
ply the Tammany chief, favors the
nomination of Judge Parker of New
York, the New York World says: AS
for Mr., German, is he not as much too
well known as Judge Parker is too lit
tie? Could the Maryland senator be
seriously presented to the country as
tarff-reformer after his well-remem-
bered part in holding up the Wilson bill
to force a retention Of duties on coal
sugar and other articles in which pow
erful clients of his had heavy financial
interests?"
We were under the impression that
the World was disposed to be fair in
discussing public men and measures.
IT hasn't been more than a week or two
since ex-senator Butler of South Caro-
lima and ex-senator Pugh of Alabama
published letters showing that Senator
German was not more responsible for
the changes that We're made by the
Senate in the Wilson tariff bill than
We're the other Democratic senators.
The World must have seen these pub
LEGATIONS. Were ex-Senators Butler and
Pugh mistaken? If not. then it seems
to us that the World does Senator Cor
man great injustice by insisting that
he betrayed the cause of tariff reform
for the purpose of serving rich clients.
If they were, then the World ought to
show they were, before reiterating the
charge against Senator German.
Ex-Senators Butler and Pugh were
members of the Senate at the time the
Wilson bill was under consideration.
They were in the caucus of Democratic
senators that was called to decide upon
the course the Democrats should pur
sue. Consequently they speak with
knowledge and authority when they
say that Senator German did no more
than any other Democratic senator to-
wards amending the Wilson bill. If
what they say is correct the bill was
amended because certain senators as
serted-Democratic senators-that they
WOulu not NOle LOT the Dill IL COAL, IRON
and sugar were not put back on the
dutiable list. The votes of these SEN
ators were necessary to the passage of
the bill.
1t did not appear from anything in
the letters of eX-Senators Butler and
Pugh that Senator German wouldn't
vote for the bill unless it were amend
ed. He did not offer any amendment,
and, as far as we are informed, did not
say that he wouldn't vote for it unless
it were amended so as to keep coal,
iron and sugar on the dutable list
In view of the fact that Senator Cor
man is coming to the front rapidly as
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
tion for President it would seem as if
the charge that he betrayed the cause
of tariff reform should be denied in
such an authoritative way that neither
the World nor any other paper would
make it again unless supported by
satisfying evidence.

APPROVED by Morgan,

An old Washington gentleman tells
a story which he overheard President
Lincoln repeat, and which he believes
has not been published.
During one of his busy reception
hours, when the President was talk
ing first to one, then to another of
the many who filled the room in the
White House, a gentleman asked if
any news had been received from John
Morgan, whose Confederate cavalry
were raiding Kentucky and Ohio.
''Weu catch John some of these
days" replied Lincoln. Il admire him,
for he is a bold operator. He always
goes after the mail trains. in order to
get information from Washington. On
his last raid he opened some mail bags
and took possession of the official cor
respondence.
lone letter was from the War De-
partment to a lieutenant in Grants
army it contained a captains com
mission for him. Right under the sig
nature of A. Lincoln the audacious
Morgan wrote, Approved John Nor
gam and sent the commission on its
way. So there is one officer in our
army whose commission bears my sig
nature, with the approval of that dare
devil Confederate raider"

THE PROPER USE OF AMERICAN
AInNEN

The Rev. Mr.. Carlisle of the Church
Of st. Mary's, London, who preached
a sermon on the wedding of the Duke
of Roxburghe and Miss May Goelet on
Sunday last, was very outspoken in
his approval of the policy which
seems to have been adopted by British
noblemen of capturing American heir
esses. In the course of his sermon
the Rev. Carlisle said: Americans
must not be blamed for their extrava-
gance. 1t We're better that they should
spend their money thus than to put it
into banks or into trusts which come
here to dump their goods and try to
ruin British trade"
He did not of course say that it
was better for Miss Goelet's money to
be used TO keep up the splendor of the
family estates and entertain the
friends of the Duke of Roxburghe than
that it should be employed in making
more money but that was the purport
Of what he said.
A great deal of the money
made in this country has gone
to England to assist in main
tanning rundown families of
the British aristocracy and doubtless
a great deal more viii go. but the fact
that American heiresses buy titles with
their money will not prevent the
shrewd Yankee from dumping his
goods upon the British market.
Naturally the Rev. Mr.. Carlisle
shares with the manufacturers and
workmen Of England the feeling of
hostility to American manufacturers
that results from the ability of the
latter to manufacture goods at a low
er cost than British manufacturers
can make them. The time isn't far
distant when England will begin to
go down hill unless she succeeds in
getting better work out of her work
men.
We make great fortunes in this
country and we would like them to
remain here. We have as much right
to complain Of England's policy of get
ting a large share of our wealth by
means of the titles which she confers
upon her subjects as she has to com
plain that we are getting her trade
away from her by means of our su-
perior skill and ability in manufacture
ing
AS a matter of fact, however, unless
American girls cease to be attracted
so strongly by a title we shall have to
enact a law forbidding American heir
esses to carry this wealth with them
when they marry foreigners or else
Congress will have to pave the way
for comforting titles on American
The more Of our great fortunes Eng
land gets the more she seems to want.

There is no good reason for thinking
that the negro, Cornelius Williams,
who the other day shot to death An
drew H. Green on the doorstep of the
| latter's residence in New York was in
sane at the time he committed the
deed. The dispatches stated that it
was supposed that he was insane. This
conclusion was reached because no
other rational explanation was forth
coming at the time of mis- terrible deed
1t is pretty we'll determined now that
Williams was simply jealous. He may
have been insanely jealous, but that
is hardly the kind of insanity that will
save him from the consequences of his
crime.
Andrew II. Green was the father of
the Greater New York idea, He was
an old man and in every way an es-
Unable citizen. If Williams had been
less vicious and less a savage he would
have known that Mr.. Green was not
the man he was seeking.
The woman in the case was an octo-
room, and it is stated that she is un-
usually attractive in appearance. Her
name is Hannah Elias, and it was by
that name that Williams knew her. 1t
was by that name also that she was
known to him as the mistress of a
boarding house for the better class of
negroes i'll the negro section of New
York. But she was known in another
quarter of the town as Bessie Davis
in very aristocratic quarter At GER
tain number in Central Park, west, she
has a very handsome house, and there
she lives. 1t was thought in the neigh
borhood that she was a wealthy Mexi-
can or Cuban. Her carriage and her
gowns were the wonder of the people
living in that vicinity. Next her lived
Richard II. Green, relative of An
drew II. Green. This relative Andrew
II. Green sometimes visited. Williams
had heard that a man named Green
had given the woman the money on
which she lived in such extravagant
style. Prowling around the neighbour
hood he had seen Andrew II. Green
go to the house of his relative. He
thought, doubtless, that he visited the
house of the Davis woman. He fol-
lowed him to his home and shot him,
as related in the dispatches.
Some of the most horrible crimes
among the negroes here in the South
| grow out of their love affairs. They
| are crimes that indicates that they are
not very far away from the border
line of savagery. And akin to these
! crimes are those they commit against
white women, for which there are so
many lynchings. Williams was no
more insane than are the negroes who
commit murder in a jealous rage or
who assault white women. He was
jealous of the man whom he supposed
kept the octoroon woman away from
him and determined to find that
man and take his life. 1t seems that he
| is a man of some education, having
been graduated from one of the negro
/ colleges here in the South.
There is one thing of which the
North can feel assured, and that is
that in proportion as the number of
negroes in that section increases the
number of crimes having a motive like
that in which MIR. Green was the victim
will increase.
