TILtMAN tanned DOWN.
Calm Discussion of Southern Problem

Minneapolis Journal.)

Senator Tillman seems to be turn.
ing over new leaf. In beginning a
speech in the senate yesterday he an.
nounced that he intended to surprise
his friends and disappoint his enemies
by the mildness OF his remarks. The
speech that followed. SO far as the AS.
sociated press reported 1t, was certain.
ly mild for Mr.. Tillman. We hope
that his manner yesterday will not be
an isolated incident. but that hereaf.
ter he will consider this battling and
disturbing race problem with that spir.
1t of federation. generosity and help
fulness which all must have who en-
ter the arena Of this discussion II
they hope to promote satisfactory
settlement.
That spirit Is splendidly evinced In
an essay on the subject OF negro suf.
frage by Professor GunlUn. The calm
thinker concludes that negro suf.

Gunton goes on to discuss with mani.

is that OF most northern students of
the subject who sympathize with the
trials Of the south In this matter; that
is, that the exclusion should not be

northern whites are but a little more

absurd that an intelligent American

the fourteenth amendment to the con.

negro is counted out for political pur.

BY July first. sure" was the reply
made by Vice President Harlow Of the
Montana Railroad Co, when an Argus

forms us that our steel will leave Erie

Mr.. Harlow arrived In Lewistown
Saturday, accompanied by Supt. Rob
ertson, and remained until Tuesday
morning. Their mission was to set
tie terminal facilities and endeavor to
