When Tennyson Became a Peer.

The last time I saw Alfred Tennyson was. like

ceremonial from the bar Of the house Of lords.

commons are privileged 70 stand The whole
ceremonial Is a severe trial for the nerves and
the opmposure Of even the mOsf sef-possessed
and self-satished among newly created peers.
The newcomer wears for the first time his
robes of state. and those robes make a garb
in which it is hardly possible for any novice
not 70 appear somewhat ridiculous The new

wards to recognize the fact that there
Is a certain amount of natural de-
pravity in mankind. But it is fact,
which may as well be faced, that the
negro, like the poorer classes of the
people in general, is placed in condi-
tons which foster what is wrong and
make virtue difficult. Among these
demoralizing influences the convict
camp of the South and the dive of the
city are chief. From these two insti-
tUtions of Satan most of the vicious
negroes graduate. In the convict
camp, it is said, the average life of
an inmate is less than ten years. The
men and women are herded together
in some of them; ard IN all, compar-
atively harmless lawbreakers arc

The result is easy to predict and to

members of his party in that State.
Senator Allison declares that there -
no pressing necessity for making any
great change in our money circula-
ton, and also ventures the prediction
which is something unusual for
Senator Allison to dO-that 10
change will be sanctioned by Repub-
lean Congress which will deprive the
Government of the substantial control
which it now exercises over national
bank currency as we'll as other forms
Cf paper money.
This is not the sort of talk which
the Republicans were indulging IN
several months ago when the Senate
leaders were holding meetings at Hot
Springs and at the home of Senator
Aldrich, endeavcring TO agree upon d
form of currency bill to rush through
the Senate and House and save the
country, just as soon as Congress
should convene. Senator Allison, 1t
will be remembered, was one of those
conferees. Since that time he has ev-
identity been communing with his con
stituents in the Hawkeye State, and
has learned from them that there Is
nc. yearning desire for financial legis-
lation, and hiss perhaps reached the
conclusion that after all the cry which
he beard emanated from Wall Street.
Supplemental legislation so as to
relieve existing conditions" Is the
somewhat vague reply which Senator
Allison makes when questioned re-
garding the great surplus in the
Treasury. What this Supplemental
legislation" will be the Iowa Senator
does. not say; doubtless he does not
know, notwithstanding his standing
OH the finance committee. His brief
remarks upon the subject, however,
tend to show thai the Republican
leaders are no nearer a decision as to
what they intend to do about the cur
rency than they were when Congress
adjournd last March. Perhaps they
have come TO realize that the public
fully understands that the demand
for the passage of financial measure
grows entirely out of the desire OF
Wall Street bankers to get their
bands upon the surplus in the Treas
urv.

Fairbanks Talk Revived.

In the face OF repeated denials. tbs
statement is again made that Senator
Fairbanks would accept the Republican
nomination for Vice President If it were
rendered to him by the national cOnven-
ton. OF course. IL is conceded that the
Indiana Senator is not anxius 70 go
upon the ticket as the ''taiI-ender." but
II Is said that he would ACCEPT the
nomination. regarding il as a call TO
duty. If it came to him Then he would
doubtless endeavor TO upset precedent
by striving in 1903 to rise from the Vice
Presidency to the Presidency.
II is said that Senator Fairbanks has
been made 10 believe that his chances
for the nomination five years hence
would not be endangered by accepting
the nomination for second place next
year. but that. on the contrary, he
would be kept out of party disputes and
in a position 10 enter the race to sue
ceed Roosevelt without any sort OF a
handicap. The Republican managers
want Fairbanks on the ticket to make
it conservative. and further. TO make
sure OF carrying Indiana. which. al
though not necessary TO the success OF
the Republicans next year, is never
theless greatly desired IN the column OF
that party. Senator Fairbanks will, OF
course. insist that he is not candi-

The Race Problem.
The Views of Two clergymen on The
Much vexed Subject.

Dr. Thirkield, Of the Methodist
Freedman's Aid and Education
Society, recently came out with the
uncompromising statement that no
graduate of the missionary schools
established for the negroes of the
South had ever been accused of "the
usual crime;" and with another state
ment that the penal system of the
South was practically a school for
crime. He said that HOO convicts
escaped from the convict camps In
one year, TO roam about the country
and prey on the defenseless, and to
this fact, and not to the freedom of
the negro, crime should be attributed.
Dr. Bristol, Of this city, also made
All uncompromising statement last
Sunday night He said that the ne
gro had been taught his vices by the
white man, and practically repeated
the saying of Cables mulatto poll
tleian, 'Nigger steal by de peck

the negro is an innocent creature,
who owes all that is bad in him to the

whom he cannot well displace without
giving serious offense, and perhaps
causing party trouble from the begin
ming OF his Speakership. In order 70 add
two more Republicans II would be nee
essary to place another Democrat on
the committee, which would increase the
membership TO eight, thus making the
committee unwieldy and too large for
convenience. This is the difficulty which
cOnfronts the new Speaker, and one
which is no doubt causing him TO do
much thinking. A great many mem
bers of the House, including some
prominent Republicans, would rejoice 70

Once the rules are adopted. or once a
special order is reported by the Com

partisans TO give their support. no mat

Sherman.
His Place in the History of the War
and of the Country.

III MS ADDRESS on the unVelllng oil
the Sherman statue, President Roose-
welt has touched upon two especially
noteworthy points in the career of
this great leader One is that he was
brought into prominence by the con-
ditions of his time. The other is that
the object of studying the career Of
Sherman, and of other leaders, i sto
apply the lessons of their lives to the
needs of the present day.
Sherman was a man who could
have become nationally prominent
only at the time and in the conditions
which brought forth his powers. At
the beginning of the war, when or
ganization was badly needed by the
heterogeneous masses of volunteer
troops, the military science of McClel-
len brought him into the center of the
stage and kept him there. As time
went on, it became apparent that the
man who was needed was the man
who could do things, who could use
the organized army, or any other tool
that came to hand, with relentles:
energy; and that man was Sherman
He was not inclined to 'make wal
with milk and the water of roses" be
handled the situation without com.
promise and without mercy; and in
the light of later generation it car
be seen that, whatever were the un-
warranted deeds committed by the
disorgsnized ''bummers" who stream
ed in his wake, his methods were In
the end more merciful than milder
tactics would have been, since they
helped to bring the war to an end.
1t is not necessary to assume that
we need to follow in the footsteps OF
fiery and irnpetuous men like Sher.

the old negro preached said, ode mis-

But the lesson which his military ca.
ieer does teach, and which is of eter.
nal significance, is that when there is
a difficult task to be done, and to b.
done at once, the man who succeeds is
the one who takes whatever material
is at hand and bends it to his pur
pose, who sees things as they are, moi
