WORST FORM OF RACE PREJU-
DICE,

The Minneapolis Journal of a recent
date calls attention to an instance of
race prejudice in that city. 1t saws
that the firm of Barrett & Zimmerman.
which employs a large number of men
to care for their horses, hired a number
Of negro hands, and that the white
hands refused to work alongside of
them. The firms barns are situated in
what is known as the Midway district.
in which there are few, if any, negro
homes. The negro hands found it i'm
possible to get board in the district, the
white people all sympathizing with the
white hands who had protested against
the employment of negroes.
Commenting on this case the same
paper says: This trouble at the Bar
rett & Zimmerman stables reminds us
that the race prejudice is always with
us, White hostlers refuse to work with
negro hostlers. When race prejudice
takes the form of denying the oppor-
tunity to work it takes the worst posi-
BILE form. 1t may help us to view char
itably the attitude of our Southern
countrymen on the race question if we
will keep in mind that an inquiry by
the Atlanta University shows that race
prejudice restricts the field of useful la
Dor for the negro more in the North
than in the South"
Here is proof of what We have been
asserting all along, namely, that the
negro is dealt with more kindly in the
South than in the North, that there is,
as a matter of fact. more prejudice
against the negro in the North than in
the South. In the South there is objec-
ton to allowing him political or social
equality; in the North there is not only
that objection, but he is ruled out of
the field of labor in all of the more i'm
portant occupations.
The negro hasn't half the chance to
earn a living in the North that he has
in the South. That is the reason main
| ly why the movement of negroes from
the South to the North is not larger
than it is.
| 1t would naturally be supposed that
| there wasn't any prejudice against the
negro in the Northwest, and yet Il ap-
pears from this Minneapolis incident
there is more there than here i'm the
South. In any part OF the South white
and colored men are seen working side
by side I'm the various trades and occu-
pations. The North will have it's share
Of the race question before that aues-
ton Is finally disposed OF.

LeoncaVallo tells a very amusing
story of himself, says Tit-Bits. One
day when visiting a town in Italy he
heard that his opera, "Pagliacci," was
to be produced, and he decided to hear
it incognito.
1t was not generally known that the
young composer was in town.
1t happened that his seat was be-
side a bright-eyed and enthusiastic
young lady who, noticing that he did
not join in the general applause, but
remained quiet, turned to him and ask
ed: s'-<--,e --
why do you not applaud?' Does it
not suit your 4. 4 l.u.a-1e 80 Fsh.a-i i
Leoncavallo. much amused,t answer
ed: - 3
mo, on the contrary it displeases me-
1t is the work of a mere beginner, not
to call him anything worse.".
Then you are ignorant of music -
she said. ...
"Oh, no." said the composer.
Then he proceeded to enlighten her
on the subject, proving the music
worthless and entirely without origi-
nalty. ~- b
See" said he, ''this motif is
and he hummed lightly a short mel
ody; this aria is stolen from Bizet
and that is from Beethoven" In short
he tore the whole opera into pieces.
His neighbor sat in silence, but with
an air of pity on her countenance. AT
the close she turned to him and said
us what you have said to me your
honest opinion %
Entirely so,' was the reply.
Good said she, and with a mali
cious CLEAN in her eyes left the thea
ter.
Next morning, glancing over the
paper, his eye fell upon the heading,
'Leoncavallo on His 'Pagiacci,'" and
reading further was somewhat startled
to find the conversation of the evening
before fully reported and accredited to
| the proper source.
He had, unfortunately, played his
little joke on reporter, who had
| proved too smart for him.

An Ingenious william.

''Aha!' growled Puddiford Suggs, the

Slowly from the opposite wings came
the poor heroine, beating her way in
the face of a. pitiless snow-storm. She
passed up stage followed by the gaze
of the two men.
"Listen!" came the hoarse voice of
Titherington Bolts. You shall not

Suggs. Fooled me? So? And how"

With a maddening laugh, Puddiford
Suggs reached into the midst of the
snowstorm, grasped one of the largest
flakes and rolled his tobacco in it.
Lighting the affair, he stalked along
the trail of the heroine, chuckling like
a 1iend incarnate.
But Titherington Bolts, our hero,
dashed off the stage to change his cos
tune for the great foiling scene in the

WHO WILL BE CHAIRMAN.

There is considera BILE speculs ton as
! to the successor of ex-senator Jones
as chairman of the Democratic Ma
! tional Committee. There are some who
We mt very rich man in that position
for the reason that it is believed that
he would be able to raise more money
for campaign purposes than a poor
man. Those who hold this view are
talking of Senator Clark of Montana,
Senator Frederick G.. Newlands of Ne
vada. Each one of these men is a MIL
lionaire many times over. and all of
them are capable men, but is a very
rich man as likely to exert himself as
much in campaign work as a man less
literally provided with money?
But whoever is chosen to the chair
manship, Sena tor German will exert a
very great influence in directing the
campaign. AS matter of fact it
would not be surprising if the chief
reliance should be upon him. His
splendid work in previous campaigns
is still remembered, and he has all
the political shrewdness he possessed
when he conducted Mr. Cleveland's
campaigns with such success.
He has been put at the head of the
party i'm Congress. He is to shape Leg
islation in the first session of the Fifty
eighth Congress so as to make issues
for the Democratic party in the next
presidential campaign. There was al
most entire unanimity on the part of
senators in placing him in that posi-
ton, and there will be a very general
demand for his services as a member
of the National Committee.
1t has been nearly seven years since
Mr.. Bryan and his friends refused
place to Senator German on the Ex-
ecutive Committee. They did not like
him and were not in sympathy with
his views on the money and some 9TH
er questions. 1t was about that time
that Mr.. Bryan tainted Senator Cor
man with having been defeated for re-
election to the Senate.
There isn't, in all probability, the
kindliest feeling between the two men.
Senator German is at the front again.
and while he is far too shrewd to
tsunt Mr. Bryan with being among
the retired statesmen it is pretty GER
tain that ne will make it his business
to keep him among statesmen of that
class

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem. }
says: when in the service Admiral
Schley modestly contented himself with
the most distant and unpleasant naval
station that Admiral Crowninshield
could pick out for him. But Crownin-
shield, who never did anything of note
in the naval service except nag the
hero of Santiago, retires in a huff be-
cause he has no new line-of- battle ship
for his flagship. Such is the difference
between big men and little ones"
The Cbarleston Post (Dem.) says: IF
the Wisconsin Legislature wants to give
aid to a settlement of the race problem
1t can do it by instructing Senator
Spooner, elected by the present Legis-
lature to another term in the United
States Senate, to oppose the confirma-
ton of Crum's appointment and there

police broke the lock off. The boy said
his father had chained him to a gas

other occasion, he said. his father had
chained him around the neck and
kept him confined In a room on bread

to sleep on the floor. The father was

The Chicago Chronicle, discussing the
current agitation of the race question,
says: The best advice to give to the
South, both white and black, is stop
talking, obey the laws and go to work. -
While we are willing TO admit that
much of the advice is good, yet we
are somewhat inclined to resent the
evident spirit of it. We haven't to
go to work." we are already working
working hard and intelligently. The
Chronicle rests under the old and mis-
taken belief that in the South it is
the custom to sit on empty goods
boxes and whittle sticks the livelong
day, while discussing politics and the
race question. The fact is we are
working, and were busily engaged about
our tasks when this discordant race
question was unwillingly forced upon
us from Northern sources. 1t was
precipitated by President Roosevelt,
who himself suggests that the agIta-
ton was worked up, following the
White House dinner incident and the
appointment of colored men to I'M
portant federal offices in the South, by
certain interested persons in the state
of New York to make political capital
against him. The most persistent and
noisiest takers on the question are
not in the South, but in the North.
Let them quit it, and obey the laws
and go to work.

THE COLOMBIAN TREATY.

The Colombian treaty has been re-
ported to the Senate without amend
ment, but that does not mean that it
will be ratified Immediately There
seems to be an impression that some
of the Democratic senators will join
Senator Morgan in attempting to
amend it. so as to give the United
adjacent to the canal. 1t is not be-
lieved that an attempt would be sue
cessful for the reason that it's sue
cess would be the death of the treaty.
Before the treaty could be amended
in the particular mentioned the time
for its ratification would expire.
The Colombian government cannot
grant sovereignty over the territory
that has been leased to the United
States for canal purposes because the
Colombian constitution prohibits the
alienation of territory. In order
therefore to amend the treaty in the
respect mentioned a convention would
have to be called, and some other
things would have to be done. In that
way several years might expire and
the canal be defeated. The point is
made therefore that those who are de-
handing sovereignty over the terri
tory adjacent to the canal-sovereign-
ty for the United States-are against
the Panama route for the canal.
A poll of the Senate has been made,
and the result shows that when a
vote is taken the treaty will be :ati-
fed AS to how long the treaty will
be debated no opinion that is worth
attention is forthcoming. 1t would
not be surprising, however, if the ses-
sion should last a month.
