THE BLACK SHADOW.

The picture of that New Haven negro
boy who confesses to have made sew
eral murderous attacks on young white
women in that city reveals the face of
a degenerate. 1t is a wicked and re-
pulsive face. Such a creature should
be shut up for life. 1t is very unfor-
tunate for the black race that so many
violent attacks upon white women in
recorded.-Hartford Comm Times .
The pictures printed of this New
Haven brute reveal the features of the
typical negro of the lower class; just
such a face as can be seen in any COM
munity in the South. 1t is not a de
generate" in the right meaning of the
word, but simply a survival of the
original negro. brutal, sensual and
bestial. They are to be found through
out the South, and 1t is natural that
many of them should go North for they
are the exact type of negro to be
seduced by the promises which he con-
ceives are held out to him by North
ern people. He is led to believe that
in the cities of the North and East he
can live life of ease and sensual pleas
ure. unhindered by the racial feelings
which confront him at the South.
And we assure The Times that the
brutal acts of this New Haven negro
are what may be expected from his
class everywhere and especially in
communities where much of his time
may be spent in idleness. AN idle
brain is tho devils workshop" or
something of the kind. Is an adage that
is especially true of the lowest class
of negroes. With nothing to do. and
little restraint placed on them they
hatch mischief and plan crime. 1t
may not be pleasant information for
The Times to hear, but we warn it
that the women of Hartford and else
where will he in constant danger
wherever brutes of the class to which
this negro belongs live and loaf.
And It strikes US that The Times is
n little unfortunate in expression when
1t expresses regret that 80 many
violent attacks upon white women in
this part of the country are being
recorded" If it regrets that such
attacks occur. well and good, but it's
language would leave the inference
that it regrets the publicity given the
crimes That is not its meaning. we
presume. but the words bear that in
depreciation.
That such occurrences have ceased
to be sectional. and that the North is
brought face to face with a great evil
against which the South has so long
qontended is not a matter of satisfac-
ton to us. 1t is as dreadful in one
section as in another and as much to
be depIored, and it is an evil which
can only be removed by stant

Speculation as TO what Mr.. william
j. Bryan will do at St. Louis in the
event that he finds himself in the mi
nority is an unnecessary waste of mem
himself at the head of a bolt If the
convention dominates a candidate for
the Presidency and adopts a platform
lie does not approve is made clear by
lie utterauces he is careful to save his
distance, and he lodges in the most
glazing fashion when asked: will
you support Judge Parker If he is nom
mated for President by the ST Louis
convention" 1t is plainly the deter
mination of Bryan and the few follow
ers left him not to support any candi
date nominated by the Democratic Ma
tional Convention unless he be a six
teen-to-oner standing squarely on the
Kansas city platform. There can be
no doubt as to the course he intends to
pursue. 1t was made. as clear as day
light yesterday by the rapid Squelching
OF the delegate in the Nebraska con-
VentioE who had the temerity TO intro
duce a resolution pledging the support
of the Democrats of tnat State to the
National ticket nominated at St. Louis
OF all the disagreaaDle individuals on
earth the most disagreeable to have
anything to do with is the man who has
a grievance, whether 1t be real or i'm
aglnary, and such an individual Mr..
Bryan is today. His soul IS filled with
envy and his heart is bursting with
rage as he observes STATES he con-
trolled in two Presidential campaigns
turning away from his radical and dis
aStrous leadership. He talks angrily
about the necessity of saving the Dem
uCratic party from surrender to the
predatory money power, when the
whole world sees that the party is not
surrendering to anything. but is saw
ing itself by deserving him and getting
back to the sound and sane position il
occupied before he led it astray. He
talks eloquently also about Democrats,
ii necessary, dying Lor their party. but
nothing of the kind is to be expected
of him. Twice has the Democracy
practically died for his sake but he
shows no disposition to sacrifice any
fully determined If it does not do the
things he wants done to kill it If he
can, and knowing this the Democracy
should keep steadily to the course on
which IL is now steering and allow
him and his followers to go to the
devil.

ANTS AND WEEXILs.

The announcement that an ant has
been discovered that feeds on the boil
weevil and will eat nothing else may
or may not be an unmixed blessing. We
have some instances in history where
importations for certain purposes have
proven nuisances in the end. Rabbits
were colonized in Australia to supply
both meat and sport, but for years the
people of that country have been more
anxious to get rid of the rabbits than
they were to acquire them. With the
hope of Kidding the island of snakes
the mungoos was domesticated in
Jamaica and they did their work we'll.
They multiplied rapidly, but when the
snakes were gone the mungooses-or
mungeese-had to live. and 1t was
found that they were as expert at des-
troying eggs and fowls as they were at
catching snakes. Then they became
a pest.
Something of the kind may result from
this experiment. The ants may prove
effective destroyers of the dreaded
weevil. and that will be a blessing,
but when the weevils are exterminated
some plan must be devised to dispose
of the ants. However. we are as
sured that they will eat nothing but
weeviIs and if that is true they will
have to emigrate or die when their
food is gone. Be that as 1t may, IL
the claims made for these ants is true
there will be much occasion for salts
faction throughout the South. If the
boil weevil establishes itself firmly in
Texas we know of no human method of
preventing the pest from extending it
self throughout the South, and the loss
to Southern planters would be incalcu-
liable. Let us welcome and encourage
the ants till they do their work. what
ever may be their future proceedings.

Date of Election.

New YORK Evening Sun.
Tuesday after the first Monday in
November was fixed as the date for the
election or appointment of presidential
electors by act of Congress in 1S45,
and the law took effect for the first
time in 1S4S. Prior to that time each
State fixed its own date for the cleo
tion of electors. The trainers of the
Constitution did not contemplate the
selection of Presidential electors by
popular vote. In the early part of the
last century many States chose electors
by the Legislatures: South Carolina
continued that practice until 1860.

Whatever may be thought of Mayor
Mcclellan as a Presidential quality he
is certainly level-headed on the ques-
ton of public education. He recently
declared that no matter what our
schools cost-and immigration is SWELL
ing the school budget enormously--the
children of New York must be taught
to read and write the English language,
and be brought up to the American
standard of citizenship. This question
overshadows all Others"
There are two strong points In this
declaration, and they cannot be too
strongly emphasized. One is that the
children must be taught, and the other
that they must be taught ito read and
write the English language To pro-
eide school facilities for all the chill
dren in city like New York is huge
undertaking. To get them all to at
tend is a practical impossibilty. Where
there are so many within the school
age as there are in that city 1t requires
a vast amount of room to accommodate
them, and where there is such an army
of hoodlums and gamins getting them
to attend the schools is a problem that
no one has yet been able to solve eff
fectually.
But Mayor Mcclellan is right in his
position that expense should not stand
in the way of giving the children a
rudimentary education. Very properly
he does not insist that all shall have
a classical or collegiate education, but
that they shall learn to read and write,
and that naturally includes spelling.
With these three branches acquired the
higher education will come to those
who can afford 1t, and when the three
first steps are taken there will usually
be a way for the boy or girl to go
higher. Even il they do not get beyond
spelling, reading and writing much
has been gained. And the way to bring
them up TO the American standard Of
citizenship is to first lay the ground
work of English education. The
Mayors determination is highly COM
mendable. He may not be able to
accomplish all that Ne desires, but the
will is there and that goes a long ways
towards ensuring success in anything.
II he can have the earnest cooperation
of the other authorities much good
must result from his pledge.
