for the opportunity to use his
Office to offer additional insult to
the Southern people. In the
case of Minnie Cox, the negro
postmistress, at Indianola.
Miss, President Roosevelt has
given further evidence of his de-
termination to make trouble in
the South. Despite the ex-
pressed unwillingness of the
woman Cox to serve as post
mistress and the strong opposi-
ton of the white people, Presi-
dent Roosevelt has used all the
power of his high Office to force
upon that community conditions
which they could no longer
tolerate. Again in the appoint
ment of the Negro Crums to be
collector of the port of Char
lesion the president has shown
that nothing pleases him better
than racial strife in the South.
We are inclined to think with
the States that if the president
Las made up his mind to force
the race issue in the South the
Southern people will be equal to
the emergency. They have con-
fronted conditions no less trying
in the past, and they came out
of the struggle with clean hands
and stainless honor.

Senator Vest, whose mind
burns clear in the midst of his
failing bodily powers, has just
shown in his two days debate on
the coal tax with the Republican
an-comerS, says the New York
Evening Post, what degree of
truth there is in the current la
ments about the decline of ora
tory. An orator in the tradition al
sense, Mr.. Vest never was, even
in his prime. He had neither the
physical presence, nor the voice,
nor the personal magnetism-nor
even the finished rhetorical art
which we associate with great
public speaking. But he was al
ways formidable debater; and
the ready way in which he
bowled over one Republican Sen
ator after another, with the ca
ger attention with which this
feeble old man was listened to by
both floor and gallery, bore wit
ness to the fact that decay had
not yet touched his MIN BILE intel
lect. What are the qualities
which make his antagonists dread
him? First.-and especially in
tariff questions, where he has
ever been sound infor-
nation. He knows whereof he
afirms. Many glib protection
list, like Senator Hale on one oc-
caSion, has had reason to regret
challenging Senator Vests accu-
racy. He goes documented, as a
cowboy goes armed, and the re-
suit of an encounter is as danger
Gus in one case as the other.
Then he is perfectly fearless and
honest. He is willing to tell the
truth and shame, not merely the
devil (many a man is ready to do
that,) but, what is much rarer,
shame his own party. Other
wise, he could not have made so
a retort as that
with which he silenced Senator
Aldrich. That gentleman took

Il DISZURBER or THE
PEACE

IL Will be remem Defed That
soon after the act of mailman
had placed Theodore Roosevelt
in the presidential chair, some
Southern newspapers saw in the
Rough Rider the long-looked for
Moses who had come to lead the
country out of the wilderness of
sectional rancor. It was dis
covered that the new SAVIOR was
intensely Southern in senti-
ment, and that he could hardly
be otherwise because his mother
was a Georgia woman. It was
even intimated that he had in
herited all his strenuousness
from the maternal side, and that
at last the South had a friend in
the White House from whom she
was certain to receive just and
generous treatment. The new
found friend spoke words of
friendship for the South. He
expressed a kindly feeling to-
ward her, and said he admired
her courage, was proud of her
history and glad to do homage to
the memory of her great men,
He came South and was received
with characteristic hospitality
by the best people of this sec
ton. He pretended to be pleased
with welcome that was
genuinely cordial. He prated Of
a unification Of the two sections.
He was as amiable as Mckinley
and as broadly patriotic as Daniel
Webster. He knew no sections
and was president of the whole
country. When some one men
toned Lee or jackson he had
fits of ecstatic admiration.
No president had ever PROGRESSED
such consuming friendship for
the South. After his visit to the
South it was announced that the
negro would no longer be the all
powerful factor in Southern
politics. It was said Roosevelt
had formed an alliance with the
better element of the Republican
party in the South to effect a re-
spectacle organization. It was
limited that the black and tan
contingent would have to seek
their holes and make way for the
rejuvenated and Caucasianized
Repu blicanism of the South.
Roosevelt was the boy to do the
job. The intrepid hero who had
faced the fire of the Spanish
soldiery at San Juan without
blinking was not the sort of man
to be swerved by self-seeking
poll ticians. It was Andrew
Jackson come to life.
But what did Roosevelt do
when the time came for him to
show by his acts that his words
were not the purest buncombe.
Those in the South who had be-
lieved his promises had their
hopes rudely shattered. At the
first shot out of the box their
Noses developed into a disturber |

in the South is committed to his
education in the Constitution
and laws. The South has spent
millions and will spend millions
more upon his training. If,
sometimes. thoughtful mon fall
to thinking and speculate and
generalize a triflc hastily, and
grow couraged-who. in the
name of sense, shall blame them?
The proof of it's true attitude is
, that it resists every effort to cut
him off from educational advant-
ages. If some politician raises
the cry, Negro taxation for ne
gro education. white taxation for
white education the strength of
the community prevails against
the injustice and the folly, for it
is both, reminding one of the
little boy whose mother forced
him to eat asparagus against his
will. She asked the little wretch
how he liked it. He said it
tasted to him like it was raw at
one end and rotten at the other
So does this proposition
When the Democrats of the
State of New York met to nomi-
nate a candidate for Governor and
to form ulate a declaration of the
principles of the party to the suf-
fragans of that State, David B.
Hill introduced plank in the
platform adopted, favOring the
seizure of the coal fields by the
national government in view of
the threatened famine in that ne
cessary of life, due to the pro-
tracted strike of the miners. AS
was expected, the cry of social
ism was raised. and the Demo-
Gratis of the Empire State were
denounced as the enemies of the
vested rights" of the people.
The plundering coal barons
were of course conciliated by the
natural opposition of the Repub-
licans to this equitable measure.
The party which has for the past
four years and more trampled
upon the constitutional rights Of
the people of this country by a
ruthless disregard of the funda-
mental truths upon which it was
established, made an appeal to
that element SO strong in the ma
ton which has grown to have an
almost fetish respect to what has
come to be called the property
rights of man, without consi-
Iteration of the nature of that
right.
That the measure proposed by
Mr.. Hill was wise is proved to-
day by the recommendation of
the chairman of the judiciary
Ommittee of the House, Re
publican body, directing an in
vestigatiOn as to the power of
Congress to take possession of
the coal beds and transportation
agencies. Now that human
beings are dying of cold in the
snow bound Northern States,
and whole communities are SUI
fering for want of fuel, the n.y.
pOcritical cry of the tariff-pro-
te cted plunderer for protection
is not heard, and the sycophan
tic party in power dare not
prove needless to the demand Of
the multitudes for relief

A REMARKABLE EAGLE.
Owner Allows Him Full Liberty in the
Court House Park.

Havana. Mason county. Illinois, has
one of the greatest curiosities in
America, If not in the world. MIR.
Damarin, county treasurer, has a pet
golden eagle, one that stays in the
court house park without being Gagged.
He is at liberty to go when and where
he pleases. Mr.. Damarin feeds his
pet twice day. He can go up to him
and stroke him, just as he could cat
or dog. When the street carnival .as
in Havana recently the eagle was the
greatest attraction there.
This is the history of the bird: A
son of j. Wiley Smith, who lives about
eight miles southwest of Mason city,
near the Sangamon bottom, shot and
crippled him last fall and took him
home and kept him until spring; when
his son Berry brought him to Havana
and put him in a squirrel cage. But
as that was too small and he could
not learn to fly, as one of his wings
had been shot, Smith had the business
men and the county officers donate
enough to build a cage about twelve
square. and he was kept in that about
six weeks. Mr.. Damarin' fed and
tanned him. He had stump of tree
put in the large cage and the eagle
stays on that tree all the time when
not flying or walking in the park. AS
the cage was still not large enough
to let him fly, they took the cage away
to give him his liberty. But the bird
won't leave. He eats fresh beef, kid
neys or liver, or live rabbits.

HAWAIIAN OUTLOOK.

No wonder the Porto Ricans and the
