BAND WAGON POLITICS.

One of the deplorable conditions
that exists in American politics is
the mad desire on the part of so
many voters to get on the band
wagon.
Men will support candidates they
believe unworthy or who stand for
Legislation in which they do not
believe simply because they think
they are winners, and they want to
be on the band wagon.
Whole county delegations will
vote to nominate man they did
not intend to vote for when selected
and when they really prefer another
simply to be on the band wagon.
Men will sacrifice principle,
break pledges and stultify them
selves for the simple privilege of
trotting like a dog under the band
wagon.
Yet the band wagon does not
carry anything but men who blow
horns and beat drums, it never hauls
any freight, carries passengers,
starts on time, follows any regular
route, it is made of the poorest
material, it's paint is tinsel and its
ornaments sham. The men who
ride in it are paid for riding, the
public pays their passage and the
only object the occupants of a
band wagon have in the world is to
make people forget the serious
problems of life. A manure cart is
of more real use to the world than
all the band wagons in existence.
Yet, just start band wagon cry,
and the crowd will start for it.
There is nothing so alluring as an
apparent majority and we can never
achieve any real reform in politics
until the great truth Is brought
home to the people that man who
has God and right on his side is in
a majority, even if he stands alone.

TROOPS SOON RELIEVED.
Baltimore Police VIII Then Control
the situation.

Baltimore, Feb. 17.-As indicating
that the situation in Baltimore is cas-
ing UP. the civil and the military au-
thorities expressed the opinion to-day
that it will be safe to withdraw all the
troops from the burned district at the
end of another week. as by that time
the contents of vaults will have been
recovered and all unsafe walls dyna-
mited.
Though the police board, to whose
order the militia are subject. has not
taken official action in this direction,
there appears to be little doubt that
the commissioners are confident that
the police force will be amply able to
maintain order when all valuables have
been recovered from the fire area.
Another significant indication that
normal conditions are being restored, is
the announcement of Building Inspec-
tor Preston and City Engin-
eer Fendall that the issu-
ance of permits to rebuild on
streets that are not to be widened will
begin within two or three days. At
the real estate exchange it is announced
that as soon as this permission has
been given a large number of contracts,
which have already been drawn up,
will be signed, and building operations
will commence at once.

At second base Capt. Anderson will
play when he is not pitching, unless
some other player shows up stronger,

NEGROES IN CONFERENCE.
Annual Meeting Is in Progress at
Tuskegee.


Tuskegee, Ala, Feb. 17.-Booker T.
Washington called to order the thr-
tenth annual Tuskegee negro con-
ference in the chapel of the institute
to-day in the presence of more than
1000 negro farmers from the Carolinas,
Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Alabama. There were also in at
tendance many prominent in Philanth-
ropic work, including DR.. Wallace
Butterick of the General Education
Board, DR.. G. S. Dickerman of the
Southern Education Board, Hammond
Lamant, of the New York Evening
POST DR.. H. T. johnson of the Christ
ian Recorder of Philadelphia and
others of equal prominence.
After a session of several hours
resolutions were adopted embodying
the sentiment of the conference. These
resolutions declare the faith of the
conference In efforts to secure homes
and land for the negro; the exercise
of thrift keeping out of debt, getting
rid of the log cabin idea, building of
churches and schools, frightening of
the school term, building of good pub
lie roads, the regular and prompt pay
ment of all taxes and making
agricultural life more attractive.
In connection with the educational
interests a higher standard of morality
was urged and that teachers and
ministers be required to maintain
highest standards of living. The re-
solutions declared that the moral con-
dition of the negro race in the South
is improving, and that there is no
evidence that education increases
crime among the negroes. They urge
harmony and mutual confidence be-
tween the races and that the whites
put a premium upon right conduct and
high living among the blacks.
The negro is urged to refrain from
crime and to join with the whites in
the maintenance of law and order.

VIII OPEN TO TRADE.

Request of the United states IL
Granted by KOrea.
Washington, Feb. 17.-Mr. Allen, the
American minister at Seoul, cables the
State Department that Win has been
declared open to the commerce of the
world by the Korean government.
The United States were the first pow
er, so far as known, to apply to the Ko-
rean government for the opening of
Win to the worlds trade. This action
was taken while Japan and England
were urging the opening of Yongampho,
lying at the mouth of the Yalu river,
on the Korean side. The view taken by
the State Department was that If we
could secure the opening of WIFI $50
miles up the Yalu above Yongampho,
the effect would be to practically open
the whole of that stretch of the river
to commerce, so that the project really
was r1uch larger than the mere open
ing of a. port at the mouth of the river.
Win lies on the opposite of the river
and very near to Antung in Manehu-
ria, which the Chinese government al
ready has, by treaty with the United
States, declared to be an open port, al
though this has never been admitted
by Russia.
II is understood that the opening Of
Win is directly attributable to Japa-
nese ascendency in Korea. for while
the country was under Russian infiu-
ences Mr.. Allen, the American minis
ter, was unable to induce the emperor
to open single port in addition to
Chemulpo.
It is probable that the State Depart
ment at once will take steps to have
America represented at Win by con-
sular or commercial. agent.
