TILLNTAN'S VIEW OF TT

Senator Tillman is of the opinion, If
he is correctly quoted in the dis
patches, that no Importance is to be
attached to the speech which Mr..
Root, the Secretary of War, made at
the banquet in New York of the Union
League Club last week. Mr.. Tillman's
idea is that Mr.. Root was speaking for
the President, and that what he said
was continuation of the Presidents
apology for his course on the negro
question.
There is pretty good reason for
thinking that Mr.. Tillman is mis-
taken Mr.. Roots remarks to the eff
feet that the plan to raise the negro
by putting the ballot in his hand had
found impression all through the
North. The reason it has is that the
speech put into words what has been
in mems minds for a long time. The
Republican leaders have realized that
their party made a mistake when it
gave the negro the ballot without pre-
pairing him for it. and they are be-
ginning to wonder now whether the
time will ever come when equal po-
litical rights will be freely accorded
him in any part of the country
A prominent Republican senator is
reported to have said recently that
the growth of the sentiment against
the negro in the North within the last
year or two amazed him and that he
was unable to give a satisfactory rea-
son for it. The truth is that there is
as much opposition in the North to the
negro having political rights there as
there is in the South to his having
them in this section. The opposition
is the outcropping of race prejudice.
which is not confined to any section.
The thinking people of the North are
beginning to admit this, and Secre-
tary Roots speech last week was
based upon that admission.

THE Ex-sLAvE PENSION BILL.

A New Orleans dispatch to a New
York paper says that the ex-slave pen
sion bill introduced into the Senate by
Senator Hanna last week is opposed
in all parts of the South on the ground
that it will be made the means Of
fleeing poverty stricken negroes cut
of their small earnings. There is no
doubt that unprincipled white
and black men will begin
swindling credulous negroes by
demanding contributions to assist
in having the bill passed, or,
representing that the bill has passed,
will undertake to get pensions for ap-
plicants, demanding of course, to be
paid a part of their compensation in
advance.
If Senator Hanna had not an under
standing with the leaders of the Re
publican party that an effort would be
made to have the bill passed, he did
the ex-slaves a great wrong by intro
ducing the bill He must have known
that with a bill pending it would be
much easier to swindle ignorant ne
grocs in a matter of this kind than
it would be without such a bill. In
fact, he must be aware that for
years. in almost all parts of the South,
scoundrels have been at work robbing
eX-slaves and their relatives by rep
resenting that it was only necessary
for eX-slaves to make application in
order to get pensions. This bill which
Senator Hanna has introduced will
serve to revive the schemes for rob-
bling the ex-slaves.
We cannot find, however, that there
is real opposition in the South to pen
sioning ex-slaves. Indeed there are
indications that the Southern people
would not object to their. being PEN
stoned. A Confederate camp at Biz
mingham, Ala, Confederate camp at
Fort Worth, Tex. and the Beard of
Trade of Fort Worth have passed res
olutions in favor of the Hanna bill.
As matter of fact there is a very
kindly feeling on the part of the
Southern people for the ex-slaves, and
they would rejoice at any good for
tune that might come to them The
most of the ex-slaves are living in the
deepest poverty, not being able to earn
more than enough to keep body and
soul together What little help they
get is furnished by the white people
They have been deserted, as a rule, by
the younger generation of negroes and
have to shift for themselves.
There is no evidence, however, that
there. is any sentiment in Congress in
favor of passing the bill. 1t is said
that the bill is regarded as a joke in
official and congressional circles in
Washington. If it is a joke it is a very
cruel one.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record Oem.)
says Senator Daniels doubts about
the ACCESSIBILITY of a Lee statue at
Gettysburg show him to be of a, broad
er mird and wider sympathies, and a
better friend of the new Union, than
many of the Grand Army opponents of
the proJect. He writes that Gen. Lees
great example of self-suppression and
dedication to the thoughts and deeds
of peace . e would forbid them (the
people of the South to do anything
that might place him in any invidious
relation, or excite sentiments not in
complete unison with harmonious feel
ing"
The Chicago Chronicle CDem.) says:
I'VE may expect to see Addicks win
by putting someone in the Senate
whom he can use while he waits for
his personal triumph later. The coun-
try, however, may be the gamer by
the brazen boldness and openness of
the Delaware corruptionist. 1t is seen
what INSCRIPTIONS wealth seeks to do
to our political system, and it has seen
this daring boss Endorsed by a Re-
publican President. 1t has, therefore,
received a most unmistakable warning
of what is sure to come if the people
of the states do not secure the power
to choose their own senators at the
polls"
The Richmond Times Dispatch
(Dem.) says: I'VE have given much
study to this question and the most
thoughtful and patriotic men of the
South have studied ii and by almost
unanimous consent have come to the
conclusion that the suffrage clause of
the Virginia Constitution is wise and
expedient, and the only practicable So
luton; and If the constitution stand
there will be less friction than ever.
But If the constitution fall we shall
have 10 go over the whole programme
again, for as sure as fate some sort of
device viii be found to prevent politi-
cal conditions that existed I'm this state
for nearly forty years. II the negroes
think that they know better than the
Wisest and best Of the whites. let them
proceed, but IL is a presumption. and
sooner or later they will discover their
mistake

SETTLING ON A CANDIDATE.

The New York Herald has been ask
ing Democratic representatives and
senators whom they favor for Presi-
dent. Naturally only few of them
are prepared to state their preference
at present. Even if they have a pref
erence they do not care to state it.
preferring to wait and see what the
sentiment of the rank and file of the
party in their respective states is.
Those who have the good of the party
at heart want to see a ticket and a
platform that will command the sup
port of the entire organization. 1t is
clear that no one who was conspic-
uously Unidentified with Mr.. Bryan in
the campaigns of 1896 and 1900, or who
was bitterly opposed to him in those
campaigns, is likely to get the nomi-
nation. The fact that Mr.. Bryan has
refused to be present at the harmony
banquet that the Iroquois Club of Chi
cago proposes to give, because Mr..
Cleveland is to be invited, has no
doubt been widely noticed and it's
significance commented upon. Mr.. Bry-
an practically said that he and his
friends would not give their support
to any one who was conspicuously ac-
tive in opposing him when he was the
party's standard bearer.
If harmony is to be obtained there
fore, and harmony is necessary to
success, a man must be nominated who
was not conspicuous in the Bryan cam
paigns. There is undoubtedly a grow
ing belief that Judge Parker of New
York stands an excellent chance of
being chosen to lead the Democracy.
In brief talk the other day President
Roosevelt said that he, Roosevelt
would be the Republican nominee for
President and that Judge Parker would
be the Democratic nominee-that the
nominees of the two great parties
would be from the same state. No
doubt the President has canvassed the
situation pretty thoroughly, though it
is far from certain that his prediction
will prove to be correct.
The Herald made inquiries of seventy
four Democratic representatives and
fifteen Democratic senators. OF the
representatives interviewed. forty-three
refused to express a choice. OF the
other thirty-one. however, twenty
three expressed a preference for Judge
Parker. OF the fifteen senators, twelve
declined to state their preference and
three said they favored Judge Parker.
Other candidates had friends among
those interviewed, but Judge Parker
was far in the lead. Many things may
occur however. between now and the
time for the meeting of the nominating
convention to change the sentiment of
the party respecting the proper man for
its standard bearer, but at present
Judge Parker appears to be the favor
lite.

THE LITTLEFIELD ANTITRUST

The fact that the LittIefield antitrust
mously justifies the conclusion that II
will be passed promptly by the Sen
ate. While the Democrats voted for
it they were by no means satisfied
with it. They did not think it was
radical enough-that it would remove
the trust evils of which there is so
much complaint-but they voted for it,
thinking it better to accept what they
could get than to have no legislation
whatever against trusts.
The bill provides that new corpora
tons doing an interstate business must
file with the Interstate Commerce
Commission. under oath, statement
showing their shareholders, their CAPT
tai stock, dividends, expenses, etc. This
statement is not required from cor
porations already in existence, but the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
authority to call for it. The state
ments of all corporations are to be open
to the public. The Interstate Com
merce Commission has authority to in
vestigate the management of these
corporations-that is of all corpora
tions doing an interstate business. Re
bates and all sorts of determinations
are absolutely prohibited, and heavy
penalties are provided for violations of
this section of the bill. The goods of
corporations that are monopolies are
denied transportation and monopolies
are prohibited.
If this bill should become a law, and
should be vigorously enforced, it is
probable that some of the trust evils
would be prevented, but, in view of the
fact that the effort to enforce the Sher-
man antitrust law has not been very
strenuous, there is some ground for
doubling that this law would be en-
forced. Still. there is a much stronger
sentiment against trusts now than ever
before, and it may be strong enough to
compel the authorities to enforce it.
In the debate in the House the Demo-
Gratis favored taking the tariff off of
trust-made goods. If that were done
it is practically certain that there
would be no monopolies of trust-made
articles. The Republicans, however,
refused even to consider the question
of making changes in the tariff. The
Republican leaders seem to think that
If the customs duties were lowered
their lease of power would terminate
at once. There is no probability there
fore that trusts will be attacked
through the tariff while the Republi-
can party is in power-that is, unless
the rank and file of the party in the
West show signs of revolt on the
ground that the only way that trusts
can be brought to terms is reducing the
tariff on trust-made goods.
