Judge Parker and the South.

The friends of Judge Parker need not be
discouraged by his failure to arouse enthu-
Siasm on his recent visit south. The occa-
sion did not warrant any hurrah demon
strationS. a little hugger mugger entered
into the affair The presidential nominal
ton of the democratic party was supposed
to be in the background. Guest and hosts
therefore carried themselves according to
the demand of the outward Semblance of
things. The guests role was that of Il JuriSt
summoned to the state because of his emil
nencc the bench to discuss matters re-
lating to the administration of justice. The
hosts had but to give respectful heed to
what was addressed to them, and at the
close thank the speaker. So that If Judge
Parker's demeanor was little reserved.
and his Georgia entertainers were dignitied
rather than boisterous in his presence.
there reason for complaint on
either side. And of course there was no
complaint on either side.
But more than this. What rival of Judge
Parker for political favor in the south is
especially distinguished for heartiness of
address? Mr.. Cleveland? Nobody has ever
accused the eX-President of personal mag
netism. Mr.. Oney? His manners are
those of an earnest, Sef-Contained lawyer
of high grade, whose whole soul Is In his
cases. Popular enthusiasm is about the
last thing he would care for or be likely to
inspire. Mr.. German? The Maryland scna
tor is very dignifed man. suave enough.
but not of the rOusing order. David B.
Hill? He is all reserve and calculation.
albeit full of energy and fight.
And again. The south. for all her love Of
eloquence and dash in public men. has
given her support to only one such for
President since the civil war. Mr.. Seymour
possessed neither quality. Mr.. Greeley was
without a single characteristic which APP
pealed to the south Mr. Tilden was intel
lectual and learned in the law and all that.
but unimpressive physically, and as cold as
a fish. General Hancock was handsome
and gracious. but wholly without political
address of any kind. Then came Mr.. Cleve-
simply took on trust Mr.. Bryan was ex-
actly to her taste. and. while she has
turned from him now she was dead in love
with him in the days of his whirlwind pop
ularity.
But business is business. The south
wants to win. and If Judge Parkers friends
can convince her that his strength is such
In the east as to make democratic success

To- persons who were we'll known to be con-

into the tills of the bars. Often both hus-

such conditions is inevitably the degrade

The sun was like Il furnace overhead.
We feared to face the dreams by which

When hopeless and depressed we go to
But from the cloud the chilly winds came
stealing.
Like benisons which kindly angels sigh
feeling.
We're hunting for more covers in July.
What though we bruise our shins against
the rocker
And step on tacks and stub each tender
toe?
Reward awaits us yonder in the locker,
Enough to compensate for every woe.
We snuggle underneath the genial blanket
We sniff each jovial breeze that wanders

Our lucky fate-how fervently we thank it.

ground A proposition made by The Star
several years ago to prove its contention
was the subject of no little comment. This
was that whenever feasible mobs be pho
tographed so that the public might see the
sort of individuals who put themselves Tor

the law OF the land. Nothing is likelier. in

At tho same time account should be taken
of the fact that at present these perform

sources that are purely political. The re-
solidification of the south for trust pur
poses. shrewdly engineered by trust agen-
cies and in the interest of trust candi

revival of race prejudices where they have
at any time existed, and for their estab

may be gathered from them. The mob has
thus become for the moment, so far as the
negro is concerned. a political instrument.
To the extent. and particularly outside of
the south. that it drives the negro from
pillar to post causing him the loss both of
home and vote. does 1t play into the hands
of those who are seeking a distinctly trust

Mobs and the Races.

The indianapolis Journal. in an editorial
entitled Some Phases of the Race Qucs-
ton replies with vigor to the deliverances
of those agitatorS who are insisting that
there is an irrcpressible conflict between
the white man and the negro in the United
States. This paragraph possesses all the
force of truth clearly and bluntly stated:
IF there is an irrepressible conflict of
races in the country. who is making .t?
Not the negroes. for they want to live in
peace in the land of their birth; not the
better class of native Americans for they
recognize the fact that the negroes have
much right here as they have: not the
better class of foreiSn-bOrn citizens, for
they too busy trying to better their
own condition to engage i'll making war on
any other nationality. None of these are
troubling themselves about the race ques-
ton, or If they give IL any thought at all
ii is to deprecate trouble and to demand
the enforcement of law and of equal rights
for all. Who is it, then. that Is stirring up
race trouble talking about an irrepressible
conflict. declaring that this is white
mans country. that the 'niggers' must 60
etc? 1t Is the rabble. the riff-raff of all
the white races-socialsts. loafers. bunga-
loo bands. lawbreakers. criminals. ruffians
roustabouts and social degenerates. who
seek to prove the superiority of the white
race 10y making war on cOlored people.
These the classes who are promul-
eating the idea that this is u white mans S
country and who. many of them foreign
ers. are willing to undertake the task of
reforming and purifying the population of
the United States by killing OFF driving
out nearly nine millions of native colored
Americans. There is no such thing

ed person does not get drunk when thus
on parole. The mere purchasing of liquor
suffices to render him amenable to the law
for a more severe punishment The saloon
keeper Is likely to suffer heavily In costs
and even to forfeit his license.
The distribution of identification cards is
supposed to put the dealers on guard
against every casual 'habituar' who may
drop into their bars. But in point of prac-
tice probably 1t would be possible for one
under the ban to pass out of his familiar
district and to procure liquor at another
place without arousing the suspicious or
the vendor. However. the habit being
strong. it would not be long before he
would identify himself a too frequent
imbiber. With careful watch. such as the
London police exercise over the tap rooms.
1t would not be difficult for the saloon keep
ers to be held to a fairly strict enforce
ment of the law. OF course such an en-
forcement would play havoc with the "ha-
bituals.'' who. deprived of their liquor.
would probably soon be fit subjects for the
hospitals. But better there than in the
cutters or in their poor novels Of homes,
demoralizing their children and draining
them of their pitiful earnings.
This is one of the best forms of temper
anCe work. and it should be tried in this
country. Every community has its pro-
portion of confirmed dTunkards. who are
too often regarded incurable. Saloon
keepers who sell to Intoxicated persons or
to those whom they know to be certain to
follow up a single drink with debauch
deserve no consideration on the part of the
authorities. They should be severely pun
ished and deprived of their licenses upon
proof If the saloon Is a necessity in the
community it should be hedged about with
