Lrr rHEM DISGUISE.

The Chicago Chronicle is sometimes Democraticaily inclined, but is often very decidedly otherwise. Especially Is 1t oth- erwsse when any matter relating to the Southern people is up for discussion That Is why 1t indulges in this species of rot:
 While the North is no more negro; negro and stiii continue to count him as a basis of representation. That is one phase of the race issue which the North is entirely willing to discuss. The South must fish or cut bait If 1t wishes to deny the negro the right to vote. we'll and good, but 1t cannot abolish the negro as voter and retain him as political as- That the North is willing to discuss any thing connected with the negro is not to be disputed. It is always ready and eag- CT for such discussion, and too often with out care or thought of fairness or truth fuiness. We beg to inform The Chronicle that its threat of what the North is de- termined' to do Is not causing any quak- ing or heart fiuttering down South. It sounds very big no doubt, for that paper to say what the South cannot do, but we tell It, not In spirit of bravado or de- hanee, that the South is also determined on some things, and one of them is that the negro shall not be dominant factor in our politics any more forever. That Is fact as irrevocably fixed as Is any thing with which human will has to do, and no amount of threatening or bluster, from the North or anywhere elss. can change It.
 
 as The Chronicle says. is entirely will ing to discuss these questions. If there is any profit or qualification to be had from such discussion. let them have 1t to their hearts content. It will not change the suffrage laws of this section. nor do we believe 1t will result In a reduction of our representation, but If it does, we will stand 1t. We will not stand unlimited ne- gro suffrage.

The trouble with Hon. William J. Bryan seems to be his inability to grasp the fact that Democracy did moi beoin in 1896. and that it will not end in 1901
 It was here before MT. Bryan appeared on the scene, and 1t will be here after he mas disappeared. But while they exist contemporaneously. it would be good taste and good politics for Mir.

 The last annual message of Mayor Car ter Harrison of Chicago covers 50 pamph- let pages, and is an exhaustive review of conditions and results, as we'll as a great mass of suggestion and discussion. When he come to speak of their street railways system and the discomforts to which the citizens have been subjected, he says: Morning and night they have been bud dled like cattle in lily ventilated, uncom- fortable and unclean cars; their wives and daughters have been subjected to con ditions so demoralizing and so indecent as to be absolutely revolting. They have seen aldermen and legislators debauched by these same traction interests. while employees have been prosecuted and found guilty of successful attempts to tamper with juries and befoul the very fountain heads of justice" That Is a warm ar- raignment. but we suspect that 1t is true

In his paper. The New York Age, T. Thomas Fortune denies ever having said that the negroes should emigrate to the Philippines, He says:
 The most that he said or wished to convey. in those addresses was that the Philippine Islands. all things being equal would be good place for the negroes to go, if they wished to do so But he did not say that all things are equal; he does not say so now, because they are not. and will not be as long as Southern rebel sem timent is allowed to dominate the social and political life of the Philir-ine Is- lands.
 We were really not aware of any 'southern Rebel sentiment dominating the Philippines. The only rebels we know of are the Tagalogs and other natives, and if they object to mixing up with our negroes, they show poor taste. for a good Southern darkey is worth train load of the average Filipino. If we could select those who should emigrate from the South and send them over. we would give the islanders a dose very hard to digest.
