One April 1 Mr.. Beecher found in his
morning mail a letter containing only the
words April Fool. We'll! wel!' he said:

first time I ever knew Of writer signing
his name and forgetting to write letter."
After took the editorship of the Chris

his views on public questions thru it's COL

For Export to the PHILIPPINES.

w. J. Bryan, in defending the polit-
ical ostracism Of the negroes of the
south, has taken a position which must
fought with him under the slogan,
THE constitution follows the flag"
AT the request of the editor of the
New York Post he has written an ex-
position of his views on the political
aspect Of the negro problem which
forces the editor Of that consistent
paper to remark that Mr.. Bryan re-
serves the constitution for export to
the Philippines. He has the consti-
tuition follow the flag so closely that
when it gets to the Philippines it hats
left America. ; &
Those who have mourned with Mr..
Bryan in mistaken sorrow over the
flouting of the Declaration of indie
pendence supposed to be involved
therein, will now have to seek other
great moral leaders, other statesmen
who are yet true to the idea that the
proper business Of the United States,
after having wrested the Philippines
from Spain, was to turn them loose to
anarchy, ruin and despoliation in the
name of liberty. ,.. -.
Now, Mr.. Bryan is mostly right in
what he says about the political re-
lations Of negroes and white men in
the south. 1.-THE question:" he says,
(which the white people of the south
have to meet is whether the white
race with it's more advanced civilian
ton and it's higher ideals shall permit
it's progress to be turned backward by
the dominance of the black race"
Exactly. And if the white people Of
the south will not permit inferior races
to dominate them, can the progressive
people of the world any longer permit
any available part of it to be wasted
by inferior and unprOgressive races?
The world belongs to the nations that
will make use Of it. Nothing is more
certain Or more desirable than that the
undeveloped lands and backward peo-
Piles will be brought under the rule
or authoritative influence of the devel-
oped and progressive.
Again, Mr.. Bryan says:
The position which take does not
in the least controvert the principles
set forth in the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence. A qualification for suffrage
does not deny the natural and inalien-
able rights Of black men.
Neither does the introduction Of
political liberty into the Philippines
and the granting Of considerable
measure Of political privileges to the
Filipinos deny the natural and inalien-
able rights Of the F'ilipinos, who really
enjoy them to-day, probably, in a
greater measure than the negroes do
in the southern states.

Iron and Steel in Canada.

The troubles of the Lake Superior
Consolidated Power company and the
sioWness Of the Dominion Iron and
Steel company at Sydney in doing the
great things In steel manufacture that
were expected Of it have tended to
take little Of the edge off the par
donable cockiness our Canadian
neighbors have been afflicted with of
late. Some Of them are beginning to
wonder what the matter is, and
whether it is possible for them to de-
velop great iron and steel industries.
The troubles at the 500 are financial
rather than technical, tho it has been
limited that the steel trust is convinced
that on account of the kind Of ores
used the 500 rolling mills will never
become dangerous competitors in steel
rail making. The chances are that
whatever be the outcome Of the pres
ent financial and legal tangle, there
will be a successful iron and steel in
dustry at the 500.
The difficulty with the Dominion
Iron and Steel company is principally
lack Of business Canada is too small
a country to offer a great domestic
market to steel companies, and the
Dominion company does not appear
to have had that success in foreign
markets, which was expected. Possibly
the fact that it is so remote from the
DominiOn's center Of population may
have something to do with it's slow
development. It is an unfortunate
fact that Quebec and Ontario are en-
tirely without coal resources, and the
coal of the adjacent American states
which is easily accessible is subject to
tariff of So cents a ton.
Can Canada produce iron and steel
to advantage ?" asks the Toronto
World. Doubtless in time it can, but
the success of the industry on a large
scale will have to wait for consid-
cradle increase in the population of
Canada or for freer trade relations
with the United States, which would
enable Canadian iron and steel to
avail itself Of the immense American
market. Mr.. Clergue has maintained
that the 500 plants were planned
and built with view to preparedness
for a realization of reciprocity some
day. He has said that If he could get
a chance at the American market he
wouldn't care for protection in Cam
ada, but that so long as Canadian
manufacturers were shut out Of the
United States they should endeavor to
the Canadian market.
British diplomatists are not apprehen-
sive Of any serious developments in the
relations between Russia and Japan.
Judging from their bad guess on the Boer
war, we should begin to look for trouble
in the far east. .sT- 5.>...

If Tim Brynes patronizes a clipping bu-

pointment that he is the most influential
man from Minnesota at the White House,
and that, while he is no doubt clever and
remarkably successful in manipulating po-

Cant Tax Foods.

Ssf -
OF course it was good politics for
Mr.. Chamberlain to throw a scare
into the English people, when pro-
posing his preferential tariff scheme
which, as. he says, is impossible
without giving the colonies a prefer
ence for their foodstuffs. When a
nation Is scared it may be induced to
take almost any erratic course. and
the worse the scare, the greater the
possibility Of getting it to do some
such foolish thing as to tax it's own
food imports when it is utterly unable
to supply the mouths of its people.
But since the Board Of Trade re-
port the English people are beginning
to wonder whether they are entitled to
a good scare. It is true, as we
showed yesterday, that there is rea-
son why England should change her
tariff policy somewhat in view of the
fact that with other nations on the
protective basis she has freedom Of
imports but not of exports. But any
change involving a tax on bread, how
ever plausibly defended, will never
prove acceptable to the British people.
Already there is very distinct line Of
cleavage between those who believe in
some sort of a change in tariff policy.

PROMINENT LAWYER PASSES
AWAY.

Just before s o'clock, on Tuesday
night, Col. John l.. Scott, a prom
inent and able lawyer, died at his
residence, on the corner of Third
and Steele streets, in this city,
aged 80 years.
Col Scott was born near Mays
Vile, but spent his earlier years in
Ohio, where he learned the trade of
a printer and worked at it for n
number of years, studying law in
the meanwhile.
Returning to Kentucky he located
at Maysville and practiced his pro-
fession with success. About the
year 1856 he was married to Miss
Sallie Chiles, daughter OF the late
Mr.. w. Carr Chiles Of this city
(who was his second wife, his first
wife only living short time), and
came here to reside.
He rose rapidly in his profession
and was one of the strongest advo-
oates at this bar. In 1862 he was
elected Commonwealth Attorney
of this district and served with eff
cheney and distinction for six years
Up to about three years ago he
was actively engaged in his profess
sional duties. About that time the
infirmities of age began to press
upon him and, although still of
vigorous mind, he was compelled to
withdraw, in great measure, from
the duties Of that profession.
For more than a year he was in
poor health, but visited his office
