Germans Fuse Against Socialists.

Berlin. March 4-The text of the
agreement signed by the leaders in
SaXony of the Conservative. National
Liberal. Anti-Semite and Agrarian par
ties, providing for mutual support at
the forthcoming elections. was made
public to-day. 1t is especially aimed at
the Socialists and its chief feature is a
pledge not to nominate candidates
against each other in districts already
held by one of these parties and as
signing the several districts now rep
resented by Socialists to the parties
entering into the agreement.
The Socialists are generally sup
posed to have gained largely over
their vote of 2,5OO0Ot in 1899 Their
leaders expected TWO months ago a
gain OF from fifteen to fifty seats, but
the combination of the political par.
ties has moderated the estimates until
now the best informed men of the So.
cial party think they will do well II
, they gain ten seats.

After submitting this the sheriff
went into the details of the situation.

the threats that il was understood had
been made by the members of the
striking unions. The sheriff argued
that it was advisable to prevent seri-

The first action taken by BFigadier
General John Chase was to disperse
the union pickets at both plants. the
strikers complying without protest.
though il was stated tonight by
member of the executive board of the
Millmer's Union that the pickets would
be replaced tomorrow.
The residents of Colorado City were
so perturbed at the calling out of the
militia that prompt action was taken in
formulating a protest. About O'Clock
this afternoon the following telegram
was sent to the governor:

Jew-Baiting in Russia,

The latest outbreak of anti-Semitism in
Russia. at Gomel. was marked by fewer
fatalities. but it was notable for the open
ness with which the police and the military
in two distinct bodies, aided the Jew-baiters
in their pillaging. beating and even Staying.
1t is true. according to the Associated Press
account. that after one volley on the Jews
the soldiers turned their rifles on the "po-
gromshiks' as the raiders are styled. and
killed several of them. But for this single
incident the soldiery might well have
been sent out under orders to fire only upon
Jews. SO persistently did they protect the
mob and fail to help the fugitive Jews
far it does not appear to have been DELHI
erately fomented. although that possibility
is always present In these cases. In view
of the refusal of the Russian government
to listen to representations on the Kishineff
massacre it is not at all likely that there
will be an agitation in this country in be-
half of the Gomel Jews, save perhaps to
the extent of raising funds for their emf
grafton. But these repeated disturbances,
marked always by the failure of the gov
eminent to protect the pursued people, indi-
Gates the possibility of settled policy on
the part of Russia to drive out its surplus
Jewish population. In every case the United
States will get the bulk of the emigrants
Should it find the pressure from this source
becoming too great for comfort, or threat
ening the congestion of the cities with an
undesirable. poverty stricken class of peo-
pie, it will be in position to bring the case
formally and officially before the st. Peters
burg authorities.

Public Building Groups,

Secretary Wilson's decision to proceed
with the construction of a new building for
the Department of Agriculture, rather than
wait for a possible increase in the appro
priaton, opens a new question with regard
to the erection of public buildings in this
city. His present idea. it is reported is to
provide with the present funds central
building, around which other structures can
later De grouped Congress grants the
necessary funds Thus it may be that in
the course of few years the penny-wiSe-
pound-foolsh policy of Congress in the al
lotment of the public moneys for the pro-
vision of the necessary governmental hous-
ing. will result in the evolution of several
such groups of buildings each group a unit
as the home of a separate department. but
necessarily held close together and joined
by entrances in order to facilitate admins
tratfon. From one point of view this is an
admirable system. preventing the construc
ton of gigantic piles of masonry which Of
fend by their very massiveness. But there
is at the same time a danger that not
enough land will be provided to give the
groups their proper setting. This system
calls for a liberal expenditure of ground.
and it would be deplorable to find the De-
partmeut of Agriculture spreading out all
over its section of the Mall as it's wings are
added from time to time to make room for
the growth of the establishment This is
the danger of setting public buildings In
spaces reserved for parks. AS long the
projected new building for the Department
of Agriculture was to replace the old one,
already an occupant of the Mall, the public
did not risk much loss in the way of park
space. But now 1t does not appear likely
that the old brick structure will be torn
down even when the new building is finish
ed. 1t is to be hoped that Congress will
very shortly adopt some comprehensive
scheme for the emplacement of future gov
eminent offices, such as that prepared after
close study by the Senates park commits
sion. Any jealousy which may exist on the
part of the House toward the Senate for
the exclusive creation of this commission
should be put aside in the interest of
business-like provision for the future needs
OF the public service and the systematic de-
velopment of the national capital

Alabama and the Tariff.

From the interesting interview with Rep
resentative Richardson of Alabama which
appeared In yesterdays Star this paragraph
is taken:
THE democrats of Alabama are decidedly
opposed to having it's delegation to the ma
tioaal convention instructed for any candl-
date The delegation Will go without IN
structions We are conservative to what
our platform should be. That platform
should pronounce for fair and reasonable
reduction of the tariff and for the regula-
ton of such trusts as place an embargo
upon trade and competition. The fact that
some products of this country sell cheaper
abroad than here will be one of the tests
as to the lines the reductions of the duties
should take"
Mr.. Richardson is the first democrat OF
note from the south to express concern
about his partys next platform. AS rule
the southern men seem to be thinking only
of the candidate. They want to know the
strength of this man and of that in New
York New Jersey and Connecticut. Can he
carry those states against Theodore Roose-
welt? This inquiry has been propounded
about Judge Parker David B. Hill. Mr..
German and Richard Olney, with scarcely
single reference to national policies
Mr.. Richardson Is thinking more about
the platform than about the candidate. OF
course. like his brethren. he wants to win.
but he wants success to stand for some
thing besides a change of officers. He has
ideas about a platform. and gives them.
He wants the tariff revised and the trusts
regulated. and Alabama, he says, will APP
pear at the next democratic national con-
vention to insist upon that. but uninstructed
as to a candidate.
1t is to be observed. too. that Mr.. Rich
ard5on speaks for "a fair and reasonable
reduction of the tariff" This is not the
language of a free trader; not the lam
guage that was employed In 1892 on the
stump when the protected Industries were
challenged to fight Ito the DEATH 1t
smacks of the Randall school. In effect it
is an Endorsement of what Mr.. German and
his friends in the Senate did to the Wilson
tariff bill in the spring of 1894, after
tional democratic success had been achieved
free trade deliverance. 1t gives good
reason why the Alabama democrats might
support Mr.. German for President. Evil
IDENTIFY their leanings are now toward pro-
lection. and his have always been.
But why should not Alabama be for pro-
lection? Look at her wealth of raw mate
rials. her growing manufacturing indus
tries. her resources of many kinds. Protec-
ton. against her vote in Congress, has al
ready done a good deal for her. Why
should she not turn in and help along 50

the financiers to work out some method of
providing income and protecting manufac-
lures. The king processes no special knowl-
edge of finance, but he does feel close to
the army. and the revelations Of mistakes
and worse lately made by the commission
which Investigated the BOer campaign have
distressed him greatly. One report has 1t
that the king has been disinclined to con-
sent to the continuance Of Lord Lansdowne

long there is cloud on his personal rec
ord while war secretary. But now. the dis
patches state. the king Is satisfied that

pacity of the system than from his own
failures. e--
King Edward will not, of course. fill SO

English affairs that which Is played In
Germany by Emperor William He lacks
the temperament and the desire to be
war lord. Ills constitutional limitations
are more definite and the public sentiment
does not favor a large degree OF royal par
ticipation. The British democracy. how

of his personal concern for the rehabilita-
ton of a strong ministry. will not hnd its
powers curtailed or its future darkened.

Republican Factions in Alabama.

The republican factions In Alabama are
again in evidence Lily Whites and Black
and Tans confront one another in battle
array. Each faction claims to be the real
thing. Each aspires to represent the state
in the next republican national convention.
Each announces the purpose of sending
delegation to that body. Each wants
hearing before the republican national COM
mittee. Good! Lay on. old buffers. and
hornswoggled be he who first cries, hold,
enough!
The time will be appropriate for bringing
up this question in the republican national
councils. The democrats are already busy
with it. and will be buster next year. Their
position. however. is at least consistent.
They have wherever in control, been whit
ting down the negros political rights for
thirty years. Throughout the lower south
ern states they have constantly refused to
recognize him q political factor. First
by openly practtced and frankly confessed
force and fraud. and then by cleverly
worded local enactments. they have out
lawed him so far as the polls are concerned.
Their proposition now Is merely to have
their party as a whole support this proce-
dure. either by resolution in national con-
vention. or by forwarding the movement
teenth amendments
But these so-called Lily Whites have no
such record as this They are queer fish.
For years they associated with the negro
politically. solicited and received his vote.
accepted office at his hands. and some of
them owe all that they are. politically and
otherwise. to his assistance. They opposed.
with all the power they possessed. every
measure taken to disfranchise him. upon
the ground that he was entitled under the
law to what the law had bestowed upon
him. But they could not save him. And
now. in his nakedness. they both abandon
and revie him. and bid for support against
the democrats by processing greater con-
tempt for the negro citizen than the
democrats themselves express.
The country would at least be entertained
by having men of this kidney appear at
national political gathering and attempt to
justify themselves before the party of
Abraham Lincoln. The question Is at bot
tom very serious but comic side has
developed let US all have a chance fully to
enjoy it.
