CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says:
"At a mass meeting of negroes in Chi
cago. to denounce the Belleville lynch
ing, it was decided that the negro in
Illinois should arm himself. Strange
that at these negro Indignation meet
ings it never occurs to the orators and
agitators to propose resolutions warn
ing members of their race against as
saulting women and numbering white
people in cold blood. BY all means let
the Illinois negro arm himself; the
| quicker the violent element makes the
issue with law and order the quicker
We'll be rid of the mob and violence"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: Postmaster General
Payne's ineptitude rather overleaps it
self in the case of his private secre-
tary, Mr.. Rand. While this person is
himself under charges and is being in
vestigated by Mr.. Bristow, he is at the
same time employed in conducting an
investigation into some other mans
Irregularities in office. Thus the inves-
tigated doth investigate, and the spec
tacle is really too dro1l for great gov
eminent soberly to stand for. 1t may
be asked whether Mr.. Payne has pur
sued this singular course in the case
of any other official under charges?
Why not detail Mr.. Machen to follow
up Mr.. Beavers, and Mr.. Beavers to
follow up Mr.. Machen? The private
! secretary appears to be the only one
thus far favored in this extraordinary
manner. Mr.. Metcalf, the head of the
money order service, was dismissed at
once when his indiscretion in the mat
ter of a government contract was re-
vealed. Mr.. Rand, the private secre-
tary, is under various charges of i'm
l.. T. - axr tia
others"
The Columbia Is. CO. State, COM
menting for the first time on the case

of the court granting a change of We

significance of the Interpretation now

that when one man shoots another in
South Carolina the dying must not be
prayed for in the churches-lest preju-
dice against his assailant be stimulated.
II means that when one man Kills an
other in South Carolina the deed must
not be denounced by the dearest and
closest friends and kindred OF him who
ic eone-lest FIVE or perchance twelve,
months later there be aroused preju-
dice against the slayer. This Is a cen

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-06-28

Mr.. Bryan was in Indianapolis when
the Iowa Democrats met in conven-
ton and refused to reaffirm the KAN
sas City platform. Those who talked
with him say that in the next issue
of his paper he will be severe in deal
ing with them.
No doubt he was greatly disappoint-
ed. He confidently expected they
would follow the advice he gave them
in his paper a few days before their
convention met.
1t will be recalled that in their con-
vention in 1901 practically the same
question came up-the question as to
whether or not they should reaffirm
the Kansas City platform-and 1t was
decided in the affirmative by as big a
majority as it was decided In the neg
ative this year.
What troubles Mr.. Bryan is, doubt
less. the probability that the Demo-
Gratis of other Western states, in their
state conventions, will follow the lead
of Iowa. If the Iowa Democrats had
followed his lead he would have felt
practically certain of having the sup
port of the Democrats of most of the
other Western states
Mr.. Bryan does not seem to realize
that Democrats generally look upon
the silver issue as practically dead.
They know that to bring it forward in
the campaign of 1904 would be to bur-
den the party so greatly as to make
its success impossible. They, therefore,
want to drop it, as least for the pres
ent.
On the other hand Mr.. Bryan seems
to think that if it is dropped he will
cease to be of as much Importance in
the councils of the party as he would
be otherwise. In taking that view he
is undoubtedly right. 1t is not at all
strange, therefore, that he is putting
forth all his influence to have the Kan
sas City platform reaffirmed.
