AND NOW IT'S CARLISLE
He Is Suggested as Candidate for
the Democratic Presidential
Nomination.

Washington, May 19.-Former Secre-
tary Carlisle, while walking thru the
treasury department transacting business
for his clients as unconcernedly as If he
had never been in control Of the govern
ment millions, expressed his views on the
POLITICAL situation cleverly when he said:
From what I have heard believe the
democratic. party has an excellent OPP
portunity to elect its candidate Then
the former secretary added with a
twinkle in his eye, ''if the leaders get
together"
His presence here has started a nat
uraI fund of gossip relative to the avail
ability of Mr.. Carlisle. He was secretary
OF, the treasury under Cleveland, but his
leaning towards silver was notorious, and
it is well known that If the secretary of
the treasury had had his way the coun-
try would have been on a silver basis in
the summer of 1894. On this account, 1t
is believed, the Bryan men would take
to Carlisle much more kindly than to any
other man intimately associated with the
Cleveland administration. Coming from
Kentucky he. would have the enthusiastic
support OF the south, could carry Missouri
and would be in a position to make a
dangerous sortie into Indiana. On the
other hand the ex-secretary has long been
practicing law in New York city, and
could probably secure the support of that
state, providing Hill and Parker are pu,
out of the way.

FIGHT A STREET DUEL

streets Of this city without serious results.
Hartman received a slight flesh wound i'll

of a fight Day has been making against

of the editor to each other in their respec-

when they met shooting was commenced
hardly without warning. Each claims the

preston upon the people of that section
with whom he was not popular. During
both of his terms in the presidency he
alienated the politicians of the south for
rejecting their advice and suggestions and
had few friends in that section when he
went out Of office. His speech on the
negro question was especially gratifying,
and has received favorable comment in
every part of the south. The negro prob
lem is working itself out in a practical
way and such discussions as his address
has aroused, and the agitation created
by President Roosevelt's appointment Of
a negro to be collector OF customs at
Charleston, S. c., have been effective in
bringing out the views of people whose
knowledge, experience and interest give
them a right to be heard.
Some Of the southern newspapers, like
many people of the south, are very radi-.
cal in their views and violent in their
expressions. Some of them, If you can
believe what they say, would like to see
the negro exterminated from the face of
the earth; but the majority of the news
papers and the great mass of thinking
men look upon the problem from an eco
nomical standpoint and regard the coli
ored population of the south as not only
important, but necessary to the welfare
and prosperity Of that section. ass
When recently in the south, I asked
several people the same question::
why haven't the southern states
progressed as rapidly as the northern
states?'' and got the same answer every
time. Every one who has given the sub
ject thought agrees that the: backward
ness of that section is due to the lack of
competent labor; slavery first and then
worse than slavery afterwards. AS long
as the negro was a newer of wood and a
drawer of water not white man with self
respect would perform the same labor. A
white man could not follow the pillow or
swing a scythe or an ak because those
were the duties of slaves and afterward
of freedmen, and his sense of dignity
and pride would not permit him to- place
himself upon the level of the black race.
Therefore the south was entirely Deepen
dent for labor upon its negro popula ton,
(which every thinking man now agrees
was demoralizing before emancipation and
| even more SO after. Therefore the prob
Hem of the south is Industrial, and the
negro is the main factor in it.
