The Negro Politician.
Course of the Republican Party in the
South

South
The Republican party in the South
ern States has a somewhat knotty
problem on its hands in the shape
OF the negro politician. Shorn Of his
power in the States which have dis
enfranchised the negro, he is yet a
power in some other States, and the
party cannot afford entirely to disre-
gard him anywhere. 1t is said that
the course to be adopted will be that
of Cancellation of the white Repub-
licans so far as possible, and the oc-
casional appointment to Office of a
negro who shall be an exceptionally
good specimen of his race. and enjoy
the confidence and respect of his
white neighbOrs. In short, in order
TO get Office hereafter a negro must
be the kind of man of whom it can be
said that if all negroes were like him
reconstruction horrors would never
have happened.

proportion of the negro politicians in
the South, and in the North, too,
have not been of this type. To be
sure, politicians everywhere are
hardly of the highest type of men as
rule, but the peculiar conditions of
the South make it necessary for the
avoidance of friction that the negro
politician should be Thus far, there
has been too general a disposition
among white people 70 take at his
own valuation every self-styled
spokesman of the negro race. Paul
Laurence Dunbar once made a char
acter in one of his stories say:
These white people among whom
we live are a very credulous people;
and let a negro present himself as a
representative negro and spokesman
of his race, and they Immediately
take him at his word"
And that is in innumerable cases
what has actually been done.

A Queen in Straits.
The Real Reason Why Queen LiliuOka-
lani Does Not Come to Meals.

Some mean person has informed
the public of the true reason why
Queen Liliuokalani does not come
down TO meals, and is intending to
leave the st. Louis Exposition. The
reason is that she cannot get through
the door of the dining-room. The
door, it is said, is less than two feet
wide, and too narrow for her males
tvs horizontally majestic figure. 1t
is this, and not i'll health. which
causes her to give up the position of
one of the chief attractions of the
exposition.
1t may appear to the casual OBJ
server, however, as if this story were
rather harder on the hotel than on
the ex-queen. A hotel doorway less
than two feet wide might prove a
source Of inconvenience to other peo-
pie besides her Hawaiian majesty. It
might be troublesome to her great
and good friend" should he chance
to attend the exposition. Imagine
the advertisement ii would be to the
hotel to have Grover Cleveland stuck,
not on, but in it,
We have already heard things
about the exposition which make it
seem desirable, to the average Amer
lean, TO measure his pocketbook be-
fore attempting to take in its Won
ders. If this story is true, and that
doorway is typical, it may be neces-
sary to measure ones diameter as
well. 1t would not be agreeable to
land safely at the exposition and
then have to train down before one
could get into the dining-room to get
anything to eat.

THIRD LARGEST SPAN.
Editor Of The Washington Times:

To the Editor Of The Washington Times;
1t IS the proud boast of Washington
ians that they have in Cabin John
Bridge, with its 220-foot span. the long
est stone arch In the world
This boast was probably well founded
when that bridge was built. but, accord
ing to lie Genie Civil" Of October 4.
1903, there are two longer stone arches
namely. the Luxembourg Bridge, built
between 1899 and 1903, with a span of
81 meters, or 275 feet and the Marbegno
Bridge. recently built over the river
AIDA IL Italy, with a span of Y meters.
or 23G feet
There was bridge at Trezzo, over the
same river, with a longer arch than the
Marbegno bridge, but it has been de-
StrOyed.
So that, according to LIE Genie Civil. p"
Cabin John Bridge now .anks third
among the longest single-span stone
bridges. But Washingtonians have 50
many greater things 10 boast of that
they can easily give up this particular
long-standing claim of having the long
