To few men is it given to receive
such tender of admiration and good
will as was accorded Speaker Joseph
G. Cannon in the closing hours of the
first session of the Fifty-eighth con-
gress. The popular acclaim of a con-
quering hero and the generous salvos
TO chief executive on swing around
the circle are gratifying, but they can
not compare with this spontaneous of
fering of affection from men with
whom the recipient had worked ard
fought, by the majority of whom he
had been chosen leader, and by all of
whom he was revered.

There are quite strong symptoms in

The people have not forgotten nor for

doomed. Detonations as a menas of. ex-
pressing joy or deviltry are to be no
more. Fourth OF July celebrations now
a days are not celebrations, but have
become form of rioting.

NEW YORK DIVIDED IN 1888.

In 1883 New York gave its electoral
vote to the Harrison ticket, but at the
same time elected David B. Hill gov
c,nor. Harrisons plurality over Cleve-
land was 1902. while Hills plurality
over his Republican opponent, Warner
Miller. was 1911.
Was that result due to Democratic
detection from Mr.. Cleveland or from
Republican detection from Mr.. Hills
opponent? It has always been, to
some extent a mOoted question. There
were Democrats. a good many OF hem
who. smar,ine under the sting of the
defeat of Cleveland. charged Hill with
t-oacherv. So far as anybody has
ever been able to discover there was
no ground for that charge. To some
extent the state and national cam,
paigns were run separately. as Is al.
ways the case. and of course, Mr..
Hills political lieutenants We're in con.
troll of the state committee, but that
there was any studied effort on the part
of Mr.. Hill or his friends to draw votes
from Mr. Cleveland is not true. Mr..
Cleveand's tariff position was doubt
less responsible for some men support.
Ing Harrison, who also supported hlf
npon state issues. and it is just that
vote that the Sun is endeavorine to di.
rect and diVert--that is the vote which
it hopes will stick to Roosevelt but
will. upu4 state issues, support th2
Democratic candidate.
Mr. Cleveland declined in that 1883
can1paign to come ont in a letter in
corsine Hills candidacy, but he put II
en- the ground that Hill was SO strong
, he did not need Endorsement. In fact,
| Cleveland was relying upcn the sup
pert of the muSwuEnp element, which
was opposed to Hill. 1t was es,ir?ated
IN the after calculations that this mug
| wump vote was cffset by votes against
/ Cleveland fer his advocacy Of civil ser
vice reform and that the vote which
made the Democratic nominee for the
trsidenev lose his CWn state was the
protection vote Enough Of these men

some other instances have their par
allels in the white race. There has
naen much misedu"atiol Of both rNces.
The demand for more practical kind
Of training is general, albeit it may
be more pressing in case of the negro
Il is quite often asserted that as soon
turns forger Unfortunately good
1aany members of both races misuse
the accomplishment. But it weighs
nothing against the value of education.
If it proves anything at all it is that
il is bad thing to teach negro Or
"a white person to write and to let ~
60 at that. It would be better if the
course of training were changed in all
cases to better suit the demands of
the present age.
The inconsistency of this contention
is shown in the fact that the propo-
nents are willing that the negroes
should have for the support Of their
schools the taxes by them paid. II
il be true that the education of the
race is productive of criminals. then
rot one ceot should be allowed for ed
Ecation: every hc@ro school mouse
should be closed upon the ground OF
public policy.
The south will continue to support
nesro schools alons with other schools
because it believes in the basic princi-
ple of public education. namely that
al educated citizenship is necessary
to the wel-beins of the state. and that
the citizen owning property should
pay taxes upon it for the support OF
schools because of the benefits when
lie receives through the training OF
every child. rich or poor. white or
black, in the security of his person

WHY THE WHITE MAN WILL

ton in the south in the following ably
written editorial:
Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi, dur

and negroes of that state upon the
basis of taxes paid by the respective
taces. The measure advanced has not
