1t is reported that Count Cassinl, the
Russian Ambassador to this country.
is seeking his recall, alleging that his
reasons. are, that he has great difficult Y
in dealing with American officials. We
fear it is the newspapers and not the
officials in America that make the
Ambassador life weary, assisted by
news every now and then from Toxic.

WINGED that Judge Parker voted for
MIR. Bryan in 1896, the New York
Tribune having published letter to

notwithstanding Index Appeal.
We thank the Index-Appeal for
breathing freer over our case of doubt
and hopelessness. We never had any
fear that Judge Parker would lie about
it when he testified, as the Index Ap
peal tried SO hard to make us say, but
we did not feel very certain that others
might not do it for him.

We see it announced that the Penn

led to conjecture, will not ''close the
door of hope" to the colored man. The
colored man has had that door opened
to him for long time, for he has lived
walking in and out of it. 1t has never
brought happiness nor wealth. His
breast being human he has had hope
springing eternal in it, but never real
lied on his asset. Hope is fine thing
for campaign, all that is needed is to
inspire it, and keep it alive until cleo
tion day and then let the hopper 60 to
the devil. No one knows this better
than the supporters of Mr.. Roosevelt,
and no one has felt it more keenly than
the negro. Everything down 10 white
skin has been promised him before
election, most everything, save prison
cells. stripes and the jibbet have been
lost to him afterward. He thinks he
has friend in the White House till
is over. The leaders of his race tell
him to skill ane burn" He kills and
is burnt, and thus a new door is opened
to him, but not the door Of hope. AS
slave he was respected and respecta-
BILE. AS free man he is growing
beastly and degraded. In his degra.
dalton, the door of hope has been wide
open. In his respectabiity, the door

On the other hand Judge Parker has
a vocation about which there is no
doubt. He has followed it, his associ-
ations have been of the kind which
tended to elevate him, to bring him
close to the modes of governing people,
to study those rules of conduct which
are for their best interests. He has
not shot grizzlies, nor rid den brOncos,
nor figured at horse thief shutzenfests,
nor killed Spaniards, and the letters of
the two when they appear will dem
onstrate their differe lives as clearly
as the history of the two men tell the
difference in their natures. They will
demonstrates the unfitness of the one
and the fitness of the other for the

Judge Parker's letter may doubtless
touch very lightly on the door of hope.
He may scarcely lubricate its-hinges.
He will be berated sonndly for this,
and the negroes will be told to avoid
him because he has practically shut and
barred the door. Negroes of today care
little for things of this kind liz reality.
Over two thirds OF the young and ris-
ing generation of them have been
where the door was shut and barred,
and the other One-third have missed 1t
only by a scratch. Barred doors have
few terrors for them, 80 they get food,
sleep and place to shoot crap, peach
es may ripen any old time 20 far as
they care.

But the letters will soon be forth
coming. The one in which the point
of the sword will trace out the lines of
conduct, and the one which will be
written by the pen. They will soon
stand in opposition to each other, and
the country will be called on to decide
between danger and safety, between
war and peace, between turmoil and
strife, and misgivings on the one hand,
and placid, prosper Gus, healthy con.

IL Is SAFE TO Say THAT IN tnls
letter MIR. Roosevelt will do no
amuck running, either mi person,
by agents Or with his sword. The
hated Trusts Of a short while ago will
receive kindly attention and decent
treatment Ice, and Anthracite coal,
and Railroad mergers, and beef, and
Colorado mining troubles, and the
long list of differences between labor
and capital will be so dextrously dealt
with under the guiding hand of dlpl0-
matte John Hay that both sides will be
expected to contribute largely to the
Republican campaign fund. AS the
capitalist reads he will smile, as the
laborer reads he will smile. Which
Way sOever the picture is turned it will
please. And yet We hear Mr.. Roosc
welt is an honest man, that be is not
diplomatic, that he is not a politician,
that he stands for labor. that he is the
peoples friend. This may all be true.
We never knew to what class MFR.
Roosevelt belongs. he is not a mer-
,, chant, an artisan. a banker, a farmer,
a lawye indeed lie never seems to
have had any calling, and up to few
years ago his only associates, SO far as
We can find, were Buffalo Bill, and
Tinker Dave, and Wahoo Jim. with
some others of the same variety. Later.
by accident, he was forced into the
society of some gentlemen selected by
the late VIM. Mckinley as suitable
companions and advisers for him. This
WAS probably bis fist good company.

covered by neighbors and an alarm
of fire sounded. The building was
heavily insured, Mr.. Cary having

died in Evansville, Indiana, leaving
him no knowledge of her Whereabouts.

has kept up an incessant search for
his sister, writing ut least two letters
each year, addressing them to parties
and societies whom he thought might
possibly know something of her. He
finally wrote to the president OF the
Ladies' Relief Corps in that city and
on December l3 received information
that his sister, now married, is we'll
