MASSACHUSETTS, an RIGHT.

MASSACHUSE FITS 49, RTGHE
Some of the southerners who are af-
flicted with negrophobia have been jeer-
ing because the negro isn't treated any
better in some of the northern States
that he is in the South. Their attention
is respectfully called to the fact that
the Massachusetts members of the
Grand Army of the Republic, who have
just held their annual meeting in Bos-
ton, chose for the third highest office in
their gift, James III. Wolff a veteran of
African descent. Mr.. Wolff has before
this been honored by his veteran asso-
ciates. having been at the head of his
own post and also Judge advocate gen.
eraI of the State encampnent. Com
menting upon his promotion the Boston
Transcript says: If it were necessary
to draw the color line to the advant-
age of the colored man as protest to
the discrimination which prevails to so
great an extent in all sections of the
land against the negro there is no State
in which it could be done more fitting
ly than in Massachusetts, the State
that sent the first colored regiment into
the field in rebellion days, and that has
never known black from white in her
treatment Of the soldiers and sailors
who represented her in the great civil
war.
Massachusetts, is all right. We con-
graduate Brother Wolff on his promo
ton and on the fact that he lives in
such a good State.

The Commercial club of Kansas City
has asked the Missouri legislature to
appropriate $4,000 for a statue of
Thomas H. Benton, to be erected in
Kansas City, as near as possible to the
spot where Benton made his famous
prophecy, in 1856, that this continent
would be bound together by bands of
iron, and that our products would be
carried to feed the innumerable millions
of the Orient. Pointing with out
stretched hand toward the setting sun,
he said: "There is the East; there is
the, road to India"

who is known throughout south Russia
for the extraordinary precision of his

AS TO NONSENSE,

The psychology of nonsense has
never been successfully traced, and it is
doubtful, indeed, whether it ever will
be. 1t would be extremely difficult to
determine just why a certain success

meaning should, at any time, or under
any circumstances, please the fancy

One Of the arguments used against
John Weaver, who though selected
weeks ago, has just been notified of his
domination by the Republicans for
mayor Of Philadelphia is his silence on
public questions. In accepting the
nomination, he gave only solemn
pledge to conduct his office honestly
lawfully, and firmly, but did not deal
with any specific problems of the city
government. His opponent, Francis
Fisher Kane, who is speaking every
night, challenged him to joint debate.
but Mr.. Weaver declined to go into such
a contest.

CANAL TREATY GAINS.
Special Session of Colombian Com
greSs Mag Continue Indefinitely.

Washington. July 15.-Dr. Thomas Herran, the
Colombian Charge d'Affaires. received advices
to-day from American friends in Bogota that
the chances for the ratification of the treaty
have improved greatly in the laAt few days. No
reason is assigned for this change, but DR.. Her
thinks the decision Of President Marroquin
that although the Congress did not meet last
year its regular session cannot be held until
July 20 of next year may have had consider
able effect on public opinion 1t appears that
DR. Herran and other Colombian officials have
Iabored under the impression that the regular
session Of the Colombian Congress would begin
on July 20 of this year. The constitution pro-
vides however, that regular sessions OF Con-
gress shall be held every two years, beginning
with 1886, making it impossible for the regular
session to be called except in even years. This
means that the present special session Of the
Colombian Congress can be continued as long
as the President desires. and can consider only
those questions laid before it by him.
Senior VeIez, a Colombian delegate to the Con-
gress from the Department Of Bolivar, who
came to Washington to discuss the treaty with
DR.. Herran, has gone TO New-York, and Will sail
on Tuesday for Bogota. 1t is said that he came
here opposed to the treaty, but that facts pIac-
ing the matter in a broader view have been lald
before him DR.. Herran will call at the state
Department tomorrow TO advise secretary HAY
