A POPULIsT TICKET.

Some days ago ex-senator Marion
Butler of North Carolina formally an
nounced that the Populist party would
nominate presidential ticket for the
next campaign and prosecute an active
canvass. Mr.. Butler is the premier
Populist of the country, since the return
of ex-senator PETER to the Republican
fold. If there is any Populistic wis
dom and authority left it is concern
trated in Butler, Notwithstanding the
shortness of his whiskers. But But
ler's official announcement failed sig
nally to cause the slightest ripple on
the surface of the political pond. Those
who read of the party's purposes for
got all about it minute afterwards.
Many readers. doubtless. had to cudgel
their brains to remember what year
it was that the Populist party cut any
figure in state or national affairs.
There was one thing that Mr.. Butler
said which was calculated to start a
little discussion. Asked if he expected
MI. Bryan to support the .Populist
ticket. he replied that he could not
speak positively, but that he. looked for
Mr. Bryan's support if the Democratic
party failed to reaffirm the Kansas
City platform. Here was a peg for
Mr.. Bryan's enemies to hang de-
nunciation on-the bare suggestion that
he would bolt. But even that failed
to attract attention. Either the people
cared nothing about the matter or they
were too tired of it to speculate on it.
1t may be that Mr.. Buffers party
will follow along the lines indicated
by him and put out a ticket but
if it does it will have no more effect
on national politics than Mr.. Buffers
announcement has had. The fact is
the Populist party is among the has
beens. There was no room for it and
nothing for it to live on, therefore IL
died. Let it r. l. P.

RACE QUESTION A LOCAL ISSUE.

That the negro question is a local
question is one phase of it that has not
beenFconsidered in the discussion that
has been going on since the negroes
We're freed. This question presents diff
ferent aspects in different states and
even<in different sections of the same
state. In Georgia, for instance. in the
mountain districts there are scarcely
any negroes; and, therefore, there is no
negro question. Strange to say, in the
mountain counties where the population
is almost purely white the Republican
party is almost as strong as the Demo-
cratic party. Occasionally it is
stronger.
In Middle Georgia, from an east-and-
west line through Oconee county on the
north and Pulaski county on the south,
the great cotton-raising section of the
state, the negro is so badly needed that
any one who tries to entice him away
is roughly treated, An instance of this
is afforded in the "Peg-leg" Williams
case The planters want the negro.
Without him their lands would suffer
in value, for there would not be labor
to work them.
IN South Georgia negroes are more
shiftIess lot than they are in Middle
Georgia. In the southern section they
work awhile and idle awhile. The easier
life is for them the better they like
it, and the standard of ease to which
most of them bow is idleness. In the
southern section they are not wanted
as badly as in the middle section, be-
cause of their characteristics and be-
cause of the nature of the work that
is demanded of them. This can be done
far more quickly and much better by
white men, who, as a rule, make better
citizens.
The life of negroes at the South is
an easy one. Loving ease as they love
it and recognizing in ease idleness, emf
grafton from the South will never
amount to much until white immigra-
ton to this section has rendered it
more difficult for negroes to lead the
life that the majority of them now lead.
Then, and not till then, will negroes
begin to think of other fields for their
inactivity. AS it is now, the negroes
have solved the question of living on
the least possible amount of work. The
Southern states and the Southern peo-
pie suit the negroes. If they were not
suited they would soon leave the South,
| as they now leave places where they
are not we'll treated.

She Came to Stnx.

The two young bachelors were, of
course, worth, knowing and, also, of
course, they liked Mrs. z. when they
fhet her at fashionable summer place,
says the Philadelphia Press. She was
Clever and pretty-and what more
would you have? But after bit her
attentions became so numerous as to
wax a little annoying and then-and
only then--dfd it dawn upon the young
men that perhaps the woman was
endeavoring to use them as a sort of
stepping-stone to- an acquaintance with
the people whom they knew-the peo-
pie whom Mrs: T., did not know. but
whom. being socially. ambitious, she
was most anxious to meet.
For while the two young men only
smiled at all this. But when they re-
turned to Philadelphia the attentions
of Mrs. z. did not cease, and then they
grew trihe angry. Notes came con-
stantly to their house; little gifts were
frequent and at last Mrs. Us atten-
lions became the subject of a rather
tiresome household Joke.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep9
says: "The fact that $4,000 people are
striving, a month in advance, to pro
cure tickets to hear Chamberlain speak
should have some weight in the forlna
ton of the new cabinet"
The Nashville Banner (Dem.) says:
"The reply of President Roosevelt to
members of the Executive Council of
the American Federation of Labor on
the question of the retention or dis
charge of Foreman Miller of the book
bindery in the government printing Of
fice was clearly in line with his duty
and obligation as President
The New York Times (Dem.) says:
THE general opinion of thinking men
must be that President Roosevelt came
out of the complications of the Miller
incident with less credit than he would
have done if he had said less and made
less effort to sugar-coat the pill which
Mr.. Gompers and his associates found
unpalatable. There was really nothing
left for him to do save just what he did,
and his duty being plain the moral eff
fort of doing it was somewhat weak

IGNORED"

The lynching and burning of the col
ored man, George White, at Whining
ton, Del, some months ago is now a
closed incident. The grand jury day or
two ago returned to the court the nine
indictments that had been submitted to
it against alleged lynchers with the
word Ignored written across the
backs of them. The judge thanked
the grand jurynlen for their work and
discharged them without comment,
The jurymen said later that they
thought it would be a good thing for
the county to permit the incident to
be forgotten; to drop out of sight and
mind; they were morally certain that
no conviction could be had upon any
one of the indictments because public
sentiment eondened the lynchings. In
view Of all of the facts, it was their
conclusion that it was best the whole
thing should be Ignored" and they
so ordered it.
Newcastle county, Delaware, thus
confesses Itself unable to punish the
crime of 1ynching when it follows an
atrecious outrage upon a woman. 1t
is verificatfon of the truism. that "a
whole people, cannot be indicted. Cer-
tain. Southern communities have found
themselves in a predicament similar to
that Of. Wilmington, or Newcastle
county. The officers of the law have
been willing to proceed aginst lynch
ers, but the vast majority of public
sentiment has condoned the lynching.
| Under the circumstances convictions
have been impossible and trials useless.
But the North has pointed the finger
of scorn at such Southern communi-
ties, and even states, calling them
lawless, brutal and uncivilized. Will
the North say the same thing to Will
minton, Del? OF course not; not be-
| cause it is untrue-and it is untrue
but because it comes too close home"
Lynchngs, under any circumstances,
are to be deplored, and there is none
who has inveighed against them more
earnestly than we have, because of
their danger to the whole people; yet
we recognize the unwisdOm of ignoring
the causes of lynchings in the majority
of instances and the intense horror
and indignation with which such causes
are regarded. And this sense of horror
and indignation is not a sectional mat
| ter. 1t is as strong in the North as in
the South and West; that is, of course,
where virtue and honor are held in
equal esteem,
While regretting the crimes, we cam
not repress a feeling of qualification
that Delaware and Illinois have re-
Gently brought the North to see the
terrible menace of lynching in what is
to it new light.
