THE RACE QUESTION a POLITICAL
IsSUEs
The talk among politicians in Wash
ington is that there is a probability
that the race question will play an
important part in the campaign next
year. If it should be an issue it win
have no prominence in the South. 1t
will be confined to the North. and
principally to those states in which the
negroes have considerable voting
strength.
It does look as If the Democrats
could use this question with considera-
BILE effect. There is undoubtedly a
great deal of prejudice against the ne
gro in the North. It is cropping out
almost daily. The white toilers are
against the negro. They will not adj
NIT him to their unions and they will
not work with him when they can
avoid doing so. A few days ago we
published a statement from negroes of
this city who went North early this
summer for the purpose of getting en-
ployment as walters. 1t seems they
had no difficulty in getting places. but
they were unable to keep them. The
white help, wherever they went, were
against them. They were made so un-
comfortable by the petty persecution to
which thev were subjected that they
came back South.
We have pointed out many times that
the avenues of employment at the
North, which were open to negroes a
few years ago. are nearly all closed
now. The few that are still open are
being closed. The white people will
not work with the negroes. 1t is evil
dent from this that there is a very
the North.
In making the race question cam
paigr issue it will be pointed out that
the Republican party is the ally of the
negro-that it is standing by him not
withstanding the hostility of the white
people to him. The idea is to appeal
10 this prejudice, with the hope of get
ting white Republicans to abandon
their party on the ground that it is a
negro party.
While such an appeal might not have
much effect on the Republican leaders
it would cause a great many white
workingmen to transfer their allegiance
from the Republican to the Democratic
party. If white voters in Ohio. for
instance, and in Indiana, Illinois, Del
aware and a number of other states
where the negro apparently holds the
balance Of power, were to get the idea
into their minds that the Republican
party favors the negro rather than the
white man the chances are that thou
sands of Republican voters would vote
with the Democratic party.
White Republican voters in the North
are willing to stand by their party
on the negro question as long as it is
confined to the South, but just as soon
as the race question begins to trouble
some of them at their homes they be-
come impatient and show a disposition
to get rid of it as speedily as posi-
BILE.
No doubt if the question were made
an issue the Democrats would get some
votes by it, but at the same time they
would lose soma. The chances are,
however, that they would gain many
more than they would lose. The negro
vote would of course remain with the
Republican party. The purpose of the
Democrats would not be to gain negro
votes but, as stated, the votes of white
Republicans who are bitterly hostile to
the negro as a near neighbor and fell
low workman.

The shippers Of the Americas Cup
contestants are Capt. Charlie Barr
Of the Reliance and Capt. Bob"
Wringe Of the Shamrock III, and it is
upon the skill of these men almost as
much as upon the respective merits OF
the boats that the race depends. Barr
is well known on this side of the
ocean as one of the most daring and
skillful sailing masters afoat; there
is no trick of the trade and no tide
along the racing course with which
he is not familiar. Wringe (pro-
nounced RIM, to rhyme with hinge)
is less well known, but g. yachting ex-
pert on the other side says he is the
best yacht skipper Of Great Britain.
He spent not less than two seasons in
this country studying conditions of
Sandy Hook, so that he is well quail
fed to meet Barr on his own grounds.
Barr, by the way. is British-born, but
a naturalized American.

The retirement of Gen. Miles led an
inquisitive young man in Washing
ton newspaper office to examine the
army register to see how many vete-
rams Of the Civil War are still officers
on the active list. He could find but
seventy out of the thousands that went
through the war, Within a few years
all of these will be retired or dead.
How rapidly that greatest of modern
wars is slipping into the stored past!
To many of the survivors it seems but
al season since the roar and clash of
the conflict resounded throughout the
land; and yet the President of the
United States was only years old at
the time of the establishment of
peace.

A welI-known Washington official,
recently a guest at the Hotel Man
haitian in this city, says the New York
Commercial, remarked to some friends
chatting in the cafe one night that
President Roosevelt had always been
a foe to dalIying." Il remember
once" he said, when he was assist
ant secretary of the navy. some meas
ure or other was under discussion,
but. as so often happens. there was
postponement, there was red tape.
HE rose suddenly one afternoon;
The session had lasted an hour' ana
nothing whatever had been done.
:. Gentlemen he said, If God had
referred the ark to a committee on
naval affairs like this, it's my opinion
that it wouldn't have been buiH yet.

Much interest is centered in the
personality of the secretary of state
to the new Pope, Although the papacy
is without temporal power, it has deal
ings of Importance directly or indi-
rectly with a number of governments
necessitating the maintenance of a
diplomatic department at the Vatican.
Among those mentioned most promi-
nently in connection with the secre-
taryship are Cardinal Rampolla, who
held the position under Leo XIII, Car
dinal Vincenzio Vannuteln and Mgr.
Merry Del Val. who is to be created
a cardinal, 1t would mean something
to the United States if Merry Del Val
were created secretary of state. He
is a Spaniard, and is said to have a
bitterly unfriendly feeling for the
United States. AS secretary of state
the settlement of the church question
in the Philippines would come under
his direction.

The office of commanding general of
the army will cease to exist on Sat-
urday of this week. when the law Gre
ating the general staff will become
operative. Gen. Young, who succeeded
Gen. Miles as commanding general,
will hold the office for just one week,
when he will become chief of the gem
eral staff. The chief of staff, how
ever, does not come UP by regular pro-
motion through seniority but is APP
pointed by the President. Under the
new dispensation. therefore, merit and
ability rather than years will be the
consideration for promotion to the
important position.

An Ottawa dispatch says that it be-
gins to appear that the negroes of the
United States are turning their eyes
to CaHada. and especially Western
Canada, as land of refuge and set
Element, where they can escape the
perils which menace them in their pres
ent homes" The correspondent who
wrote the dispatch fears that some
day 1t may be that this country iCan-
adal will also have an awkward prob
lem to face" But Canada need rot
feel anxious; there is little probable
ity of any considerable exodus of ne
groes from this country into her Dor
ders. Canada is a cold country. quite
cold during half of the year. The
negro is a warm-country creature. He
cannot stand cold, being peculiarly
susceptible to pulmonary complaints

The fainting fit which Pope Plus
suffered yesterday will cause anxiety

result of fatigue consequent upon the
excitement due to recent events and
the arduous duties necessarily devolv-
ing upon the Pope. He is a robust
man, hence a few days rest will prob
ably restore him to his normal good
healh. However. until his complete
recovery has been announced, some
fears will be felt, since he is no longer
a Young man.

The postoffice at Rocky Mount, N.
c., was recently advanced to the sec
ond class. and the postmaster was adj
vised that he might name five assist

Promptly he sent in the names of his
four sons and one daughter. The de-
partment notified him that the post
office cannot be made a family affair,
because of the civil service rules.

Cor reasons which need not be detail
"a here. but which are pretty generally
understood and appreciated Those
reasons are akin to those which prom
pted the attempt TO remove the nego-
iations from Shanghai to Picking, an
attempt which has now apparently been
frustrated by the earnest opposition OF
the United States and Japan. says the
New York Tribune. 1t certainly seems
reasonable that negotiations should be
completed in the place in which they
are begun, unless some far more con-
vincing reason for their transfer APP
pears than has been put forward IN
this case. Shanghai is more suitable
place than Peking for such work, not
only because it is more accessible, but
also because it is far more free from
the special influences of any one ma
tion. 1t is jus' about the most inn
partially international or cosmopolitan
city in all China. while at Peking some
one power is usually selfishly in the
ascendant.

dividual expenditure in a single year
was $1,000. The maximum cost for
