an appointment at a certain hour with
President Roosevelt, whom they wished
to attend sa2geriest next June. The
singers failed to appear on time, but
when Senator McComas, OF Maryland,
appeared with another delegation Mr..
Roosevelt thought they represented the
sangeriest. The president welcomed
them cordially, saying he was very fond
Of German songs. He continued talking
in that strain until Senator McComas
precipitately explained that this delega-

WAT THE SOUTH WANTS.

All tlat tile South asks is that it be
treated fairly. All that white men in
this ta desire IS that their white
couu,rym,n at the north come south,
put themselves in the Southern white
mans liace and do unto the white race
here a, Northerners would be done by.
The South now asks only that some re-
gard be paid to the sentiments OF white
persons in Southern communicative
no citizen be. appointed to federal office
who is PERSONA non grata to the COM
munity in which he is to serve. This
consideration is shown by the federal
government to every foreign nation on
earth. Is it unreasonable to insist that
it be 81 own to Americans OF the South
ern states?
Theoretically, it is all very well to say
that the appointing OF few reput able
negroes TO office will serve to lnclte less
worthy members OF the race to become
good citizens. To this argument there
are many answers and one certainly that
is conclusive, namely, that the govern
ment OF the United States is not required
either to encourage or to discourage the
aspirations OF any class OF American
citizens. The government is required
only to conduct satisfactorily official
business. 1t is as unreasonable to APP
point man to office because OF his color
as it is to refuse to>appoint him for the
same cause.-New Orleans Times

The Senatorial Sltuatlen.

The Red Cloud Nation seems to be
worried over the senatorial situation
in Nebraska, and in | $ last issue
very kindly offers a few suggestions
to the Republican papers of this city
as to the kind of men they should
support for members of congress. The
Nation holds to the opinion that the
Is. N Nj. railroad is the controlling fac
tor in Republican politics of this
state, and lntimates that it is the duty
o. the Argus and the Chief to Dust the
aforesaid railroad from it's powerful
position. The Nation asserts that
Senator Dietrich and Representative
Burkett are merely tools in the hands
of the b Il NJ.
The records Of these men in on
gress are as clean as the records of
any men the fusionists have ever ele-
v'ted to high office, although the in
dictment of Senator Dietrich by the
federal grand jury at Omaha has for
the moment placed him in an unenyi.
able position. An indictment Is moi
a proof Of guilt, however, and until he
has been given a fair and impartial
trial he should receive the benefit O,
the doubs.
The refusal of the b. Il NJ. railroad
to allow its counsel, Judge Green, tc

But where is the crime If the B. &

Governor Mickey has again demon
strated his familiarity with farm and
ranch life. Not long ago he startled
the natives at the state farm by mount
ing a wheat stack aud pitching bundles
so rapidly that he buried the two feed
ers OF the threshing machine. This
time he distinguished himself by
mounting a broncho last Saturday
morning, and chasing the festive steer
at his brothers ranch, near Spring
view. He succeeded in roping the
animal and bringing him down, and
was loudly cheered by the cowboys
who witnessed his prowess.
