COLORED GUESTS AT THE WHITE
HOUSE,

The President has at last found the
level he has been seeking. He has
invited negroes with their wives to
the White House. Lewis, whom be ap.
pointed as assistant district attorney
in BostOn-an Office which is purely
unnecessary-and his wife, and the
colored Register of Deeds of Washing
ton, and two of bis females, have all
been there on terms Of the most per-
feet social equality. This has not had
the slightest effect on the Southern
people, that is on the Southern Demo
Gratis, where the mass of respectability
and worth of the South exists, but it
is having its effect upon the white
Republicans who cannot stand for
such action on the part of the presi-
dent. Already Alabama Republicans
are ready to repudiate him for Mr..
Hanna, and that too after they had
declared for him. The visit the pres
ident paid to Charleston showed plain
ly, as we have heretofore stated, the
character of the man. Had he been
imbued with the proper instincts, those
gentler instincts which refinement of
teaching, but especially refinement of
nature has implanted in human be-
ings, he would never have gone there.
The people of South Carolina, who,
true to their instincts and breeding,
could do nothing other than be civil
to guest, treated him with respect
and Difference which be, apart from his
Office, did not deserve, but to their
credit they did it. Hereafter, how
ever, should he press his personality
upon us, we should let him pass as we
would any person whose social habits
are distasteful to us, We should give
him that "frozen face" and icy hand"
which the people of the South can pre-
sent to any and everybody when they
choose.
1t will be recalled that an invitation |
has been extended to Mr.. Roosevelt to |
attend the closing exercises of the
University of Virginia. We do not
think be will do so, but be may. We
hope be will, and if he does we hope
that he will be civilly treated by the
men, but as for the women we trust
they may give him just such a recep-
ton as Mrs. Clevelsnd gave Governor
Foraker of Ohio, after Foraker's con-
duct toward Mr.. Cleveland at the G.
A. X. parade in Wheeling during Mr..
Cleveland's first term. 1t will be re-
called that at reception held by the
president where there were many
Governors, Mrs. Cleveland deliberate
ly turned her back on the Ohio Gov
ernor when he approached. We have
no heart to abuse any one for so sour :
W trick as the President is playing G
On himself. We are ashamed that our :

State had 3 surplus of over one million
dollars in its treasury. AS the Repub

slight demonstration of what that
party could do toward honesty and
wisdom in government. This Arabian
Nights story has been rudely exploded
by Governor White in his recent mes.
sage. He shows that those figures
were made on paper only, and that
there is real deficit of about $500. 900
which this legislature must provide
Tor. This deficit has been caused by
Republican extravaganza of the worst |
sort.
This Legislature will redistrict the
State in several ways, especially the
Judicial districts, and there are MANY
lawyers of medium ability who are
preparing themselves to put on the
judicial ermine.
The Governor has appointed G.
Warren Miller of Parkersburg, as one
the judges of the Supreme Court. a

sDintment is highly commended. L
