CHAMBERLAIN ON THE RACE
QUESTION.

A London dispatch of recent date in
its account OF a discussion in the house
of commons gives the language of Mr..
Joseph chamberlain in regard to the
prejudice of white laborers being put
on terms OF equality with black men.
The dispatch says:
During the discussion of South Afri-
can affairs in the house Of commons
today the colonial secretary, Mr.. Lyttle-
ton, announced that the government in
tended next ear to give the Transvaal
representative Institutions by substi-
tuting elected for nominated men,

Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, defending
Gas member of parliament for West
Birmingham the introduction of Chi
nese labor into Transvaal, which policy
was inaugurated while he was colonial
secretary, contended that white labor
ers would not work side by side with
black iaborers or equal terms, and he
thought the white men were right. He

THAT MEETING AT RosEMoUNr.

That gathering Of democrats at Rose
mount, the home of Judge Parker, on
Wednesday n the cordial interchange
OF views meant a great thing for the
democratic party-if there was any sin
certify in the apparent friendliness In
the greetings of the men Of the two
FACTIONS. If the Handwriting of Muir
ply, Tammany's leader. and ex-senator
Hill meant anything al all beyond a
semblance of a temporary truce IL
meant victory for the democratic ticket
in the state.
But there is always a feeling of doubt
as to what Tammany means and h
Tammany will do when the time for
action comes. The remar Of Mr.. Muir
ply that the success Of the democratic
national ticket in New York depended
upon the nomination it made for COVER
nor of that state is so worded as to
cause one to pause and consider. What
did he mean? Dc those words convey
a covert threat TO the democratic or
g~anization of the state that it had bet
ter please Tammany in the selection o.
it's candidate for governor, else its can
didate for president will have little
chance Of carrying the state? 1t seems
very much that way.
Should the gubernatorial nomination
for governor be given to Tammany and
when the election comes on that body
finds it's man in danger would it hes
itate to make a rae with the repub-
licans. b~artering votes for Roosevelt
in return for ballots for their guberna-
toriaI candidate? Tammany has been
known to do this before.
II the democracy Of New York makes
a trade with Tammany now how does
it know that organization will stand by
it's agreement and let both candidates
win or fall together? Tammanyitos
may be the true opponents Of democra-
cy, but it mo be denied that they
are for Tammanyites first and the par
ty next when it comes to electing dem
ocratic nominees to office.
We hope the apparent frendliness at
the meeting at Rosemount was not a
pretense; that the Ratchet has been
buried, and that in the coming cam
paign and election the two factions will
work for harmony for the success OF the
national and the state ticket. If this
be so nothing can prevent New York
being carried by the democrats.
Judge Parker has n powerful in
fuence behind him in the city-the great
daily newspapers. Eleven of the four
teen are for him. Mr.. Roosevelt has
the support of only three daily news
papers in that city, while Mr.. Mckinley
had twelve of the fourteen This shows
what a wonderful change a taken
place in that city since the nomina-
ton of Judge Parker. Some of these
papers are following the trend of public
sentiment. Others are trying to lead
public sentiment to the support of the
democratic nominee. Both classes are
working in his interest and show what
both the men who mold and those who
give tongue to the thought of the pub
lie think of the merits of the two cam
~didateS.

There was a perfect unheaval Of the
Morally Stunted in Wilmington yes
terday. BY a majority Of $50 the peo-
pie voted TO continue to buy sowpaw
by the whet instead of by the bottle.
The result is a surprise. but the ex-
PLANTATION is simple enough-the voters
had their nerve with them. AT the
recent election in Charlotte 900 voters
remained away from the polls. 1t is
safe to say that $50 of these were anti
prohibitionists. If these had turned
out and voted their sentiments and
had been joined by those prohibition
voters who have no idea OF being pro-
hibited themselves. but intend to go
on drinking liquor while they pro-
hibit others, the majority here would
have been on the other side of the
question, and very decisively so. So
also in Greensboro, where there was
a large stay-at-home vote n where
many anti-prohibiticni stS suddenly
discovered, a few days before the cleo
ton, that the state of their health sug-
gested that they ibetake themselves 10
the mountains, the springs or the coast.
This, we believe. is the last Of the

MIR. Root as War secretary.

The achievements of Mr.. Root =
secretary Of war during the last five
years are attracting attention abroad,
and the London Times makes them
the theme Of two-column article in
which 1t characterizes Mr.. Root as
great American reformer.
The reforms instituted by Mr.. Root
in the departments are curiously like
those which are suggested for the
British army in the recent report Of
Lord Esher's committee. AS long ago
as 1899 Secretary Root defined the
problems OF reorganization in Ian
guage almost identical with that used
by the British committee with refer
ence to the British army FIVE years
later. In 1899 Secretary Root wrote:
1.-TWO propositions seem to me funda-
mental in the consideration Of the
subject. First, that the real object Of
,aviuE an army Is to provide for war.

ISLE OF PINES TREATY.
Only Question Is Whether Territory
Is Part of Cuba.

Is Fdrt OF Cupds
The Senate committee on foreign
relations has decided to postpone ac'
ton on the Cuban treaty, which pro-
vides for turning over the Isle Of
Pines to the Cuban government until
the next session Of Congress.
It appears that the opposition to
the treaty, which presumably led to
postponement of action upon it. came
from Americans who have settled In
the island and have invested money
in lands and farming industries with
the understanding that the sovereign
ty would remain with the United
States" 1t is reported also that the
members Of the Senate committee
contemplate a visit to the island to
see whether it would be worth any
thing to the United States, and wheth-
er this government would be justified
in assuming sovereignty over 1t.
While the interests of American cit.
liens are always to be carefully con-
sidered by our government 1t is hard
ly to be expected that the government
is to be guided in its Cuban policy by
the mistaken assumptions Of Ameri.
can settlers in the Isle of Pines Ger
tainly our declared policy with refer
ence to Cuba did not warrant the "un-
derstanding" that the United States
was to assume sovereignty over the
smaller island.
1t appears to have been definitely
settled that the Isle of Pines was po-
litically part Of Cuba under Span.
ish rule, and section of the Plat
amendment, which was adopted by
the Cuban constitutional convention,
as an appendix to the Cuban consti-
tuition, provided only that 1.-THE Isle
of Pines shall be omitted from the
proposed constitutional boundaries Of
Cuba, the title thereto to be left to
future adjustment by treaty"
ut was to bring about this lad
justment," that the treaty now pend
ing In the Senate was framed, and 1t
was in conformity with our declared
policy respecting Cuba that the treaty
proposed cession of the island to the
Cuban government. The question to
be determined by the Senate commit.
tee, therefore, would seem to be, not
is the island worth anything to the
United States, or what are the inter.
ests of American investors there, but
was the island a part Of Cuba, and
would its retention be consistent with
our declared Cuban policy2-Chicago
