ABOUT THE NEGRO.

Appleton Wis, April -Rev. DR.. III.
~ Hartzell, bishop Of all the African
missions Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, says transportation Of negroes
TO Liberia would be futile as solution
Eof the race problem, because six to
eight hundred are born in the United
States daily and it would take great ship
loads daily to transport them The
question can be settled, he adds only by
keeping them in this country and by
treating the negro fairly and giving him
all his rights He will demand atten-
Itior for the negro problem along this
line at The Methodist Episcopal confer

No Federal Troops for Colorado.

The effort of the labor unions in Colorado
to force the United States government to
take hand in the troubles in that state
by way of federal injunction will prob
ably come to naught The object of the
application to the United States district
court for a writ to prevent the closing of
the so-called union store is entirely too
plain to warrant the government In blindly
following refusal to obey 1t with the dis
patch of troops into the state. The federal
courts cannot be used to such ends. There
are two ways to invoke the aid of the gov
ernment when the states powers are ex-
hausted. one by direct request of the gov
ernor, and the other by vote Of the legis-
lature. Thus far neither has expressed its
Will that the federal forces supervene those
Of the state. Beyond the will of the state,
thus expressed, the United States govern
ment can intervene on its own initiative If
its rights are placed in jeopardy through
the inability of the states own agencies to
protect them. Thus, In the Chicago riots
the mails were stopped through the activ-
ity of the strikers and the federal trops
and the United States not only had per-
feet right to send troops into Illinois, even
though the governor remained inactive, but
was compelled to do so.
1t is now suggested that a situation SINH
lar to that at Chicago would be created by
the issue of a federal writ and IT'S violation
by one side or the other. This is quite
contrary to the fact The United States
has no interest whatever in the object of
the injunction. 1t is, indeed, exceedingly
doubtful If any federal court would enter
tain a motion praying for its issuance.
Even if a federal judge were to issue it
and it were violated there would still be no
compulsion on the part of the United States
to enforce it by federal troops. 1t is neces-
sary in these matters to look beyond the
bare text of the writ or the fact OF its
existence to the circumstances 20 ascertain
their bearing upon the federal rights ard
duties.
The situation in Colorado is undeniably
deplorable and 1t Is a travesty state
government that it has continued for so
long. Thus far the governor has preserved
only a fair degree of peace. and The ele-
ments of disorder are clearly in evidence
in many places. But it is wholly a state
affair and it is no business of the United
States. If the production of any commodity
of general public need were affected by the
strikes and deadlocks, as was the case in
the coal strike, there would be warrant for
federal activity in attempting to persuade
the two parties to agree, but even then
there would be basis for an actual in
tervention. just as there was no law to
enable the President In 1902 to force the
miners and operators to adjust their diff
ferences. There is In this Colorado case
not even that excuse for federal interest
and the situation must remain where it is
until it is settled by the agencies for law
and order established In Colorado
That it will be soon resolved To a condi-
ton of permanent peace is the hope of
every citizen who holds the ideal of good
government above fractional or class preju-
dices.

Smashing Russia's Sea Power.

Japan keeps up to the mark on the sea.
The destruction of the cruiser Novik off
the coast of Sakhalin Island. north of
Vladivostok shows that the japanese ad-
mirals are determined to reduce Russia's
sea power in the far east to the lowest
possible point. This ship was member of
the Port Arthur squadron that attempted
sortie few days ago and then scattered.
Some of these vessels, it will be remem-
bered. put back to Port Arthur. some ran
to Shanghai and one to Chefoo. 1t is
claimed that one or two were sunk. The
Novik. after calling at Tsingtau. skirted
the Japanese Islands on the south and east
and tried to make port at Vladivostok. But
II is clear that she could not shake off the
japanese cruisers, although she had a
higher speed rate, and doubtless owed her
initial salvation to that fact. The dis
patches show that the japanese cruisers
caught up with the Novik at sea. and that
a 1--WE hours running fight ensued. with the
result OF the Bleaching Of the Russian ship
much after the fashion of the Spanish YES
sells of Cervera's squadron on leaving San
tiago. The loss of the Novik is serious
blow to Russia. and advances materially
the day when Japan can proclaim to the
world that she has destroyed the naval
forces of the car in asian waters When
that day comes Japan will be in position
to concentrate her sea power upon Vladi-
vostok Much. however depends upon the
date at which Japan can safely withdraw
her entire naval force from the Yellow sea
and its approaches for a sea attack upon
the northern Russian city. for the ice will
form in Vladivostok bay in a couple of
months. and by November 1 at the latest
naval operations in that vicinity will be
hazardous II m
free harbors unmenaced by the enemy ia
pan can in that case proceed to repair her
vessels at comparative leisure. meanwhile
Keeping an eye out for the long heralded
Baltic sea fleet, il 1t ever does really start
for the far east.

was not disarmed, that is confronted by
the assertion Of her commando that she
was disarmed. Thus all the world has to
judge from Is the contradiction of state
ments by the interested parties. If Japan
had reason to suspect that the Ryeshiteini
was not disarmed, she could easily have
proved the fact by securing her inspection
in the light of day by Chinese officials in
the presence of unprejudiced Witnesses,
meanwhile preventing her escape by MAIN
tanning a guard over her. If, than. it had
been proved that the destroyer was armed
and fit for service Japan would have had
some ground-far more than she had in the
factor selling her as legitimate prey of
war. Yet not even this discovery would
have warranted Japan's conducting a fight
within the neutral harbor without giving
fair notice to the world of her purpose to
do so.
In this case, as in that at Shanghai
Japan owed far more to the neutral pow
ers other than China than to China herself
and more to China than to Russia. If
China is weak in this crisis. If she is treach-
erous to her protestations of neutrality, If
she is Indifferent to the requirements of her
position as guardian of the property of pell-
trails, there are better ways of maintaining
peace by other than Chinese agencies than
by the conversion of her port into fighting
ground The action of the United States
commander at Shanghai in thrustiag an
American vessel between a Japanese de-
stroyer and partly disabled Russian cruis-
er, In order to protect a million dollars
worth of American property, is wholly JUS
tilted as an act of precaution and should
help to restore the vexed question of
Chna's neutrality to a safe basis for wise
settlement.

Parker, Davis and Gold.

Mr.. Davis Endorsement of the gold stand
ard I'm his speech of acceptance has occa-
stoned but little comment. 1t was expected,
and, therefore, has been received 4 mat
ter of course. 1t was known that he had
twice voted for Mr.. Bryan. but everybody
understood that he had done only for
regularitys sake. AS a business man of
large credit and connections IN the east
how could he have supported Organism for
any other reason? AS a member of the plat
form committee he participated at st. Louis
in the debate over the financial question,
and aquiesced in the silence that the COM
mittee by vote of 30 to 10, adopted. Then
came his nomination for Vice President.
sand his silence about that silence until 1t
was broken at White Sulphur Springs thir
ty days later.
This was the plan of Hill and Sheehan
and Belmont with respect to Judge Parker.
They assumed that everybody knew. as they
did, his views respecting the gold standard;
that he had voted for Mr.. Bryan only for
regularity's sake. So they pressed his
case. with due regard for the feelings of
the Bryan people. and argued among them
selves that 1t would be time enough for
Judge Parker to say word as 10 his pres
ent money views when he came to his for
NAL acceptance of the nomination. BY that
time. as they reasoned, both Bryanites and
Clevelandites would be in good humor over
the agreement reached, and Judge Parker
declaration for the gold standard would be
received as a matter of course.
But the New York Evening Post, speak
ing the Friday afternoon after the action
of the convention on the money question.
and the Sun, Times and World, speaking
the next morning. upset the apple cart
Silence for a single day, they told Judge
Parker would be fatal to his candidacy
AS matters stood the nomination was
worthless The independents and the
Cleveland democrats of the east would
spurn such an attempt to creep into power
shod with gum. The gold standard, they
asserted, was not only fixed fact, but the
most acceptable fact in the affairs of the
country: and he must say so and force the
convention to say 50.
What followed we all know. Judge Par
ker's hand on the money question was
forced by those newspapers They put him
on record several weeks in advance of the
plan of Hill and Sheehan and Belmont and
for a few days made him the principal
figure of a most complimentary hullabaloo.
Would II have been better for him in the
end to have played the game of his man
ayers?
