THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
washington Post i

Only a little more than q decade has
come and gone since the Democratic
party was virile and victorious. On u
full vote Indiana was Democratic, and
so were Ohio and Illinois, eliminating
the negro vote. Wisconsin was battle
ground anu Michigan was shaky.
But In those States the Democratic
party is only memory. 1t makes
nobody afraid. Ald this is shown in
the way some of the Republican Dreth-
rem are talking of and concerning their
c0lored fellow citizens. The negro is
advised that the South is the place for
him, and he Is plainly informed that
not only will the advent of more
negroes from the South be resented,
but that those who now live in the
great Middle West have Outstayed
thelI weIco me and that 1t is in order
for them to make tracks for the South,
where they came from AMI where they
belong.
And in the great Republican State
of Indiana, churches of coIored people
are made into kindling wood by means
of dynamite as a mild reminder that
Indiana IS a white mans country, and
the authorities are gently admonished
that if anybody is arrested for anus
ing himself by blowing up a colored
church, the negroes of that community
Will have to leave town.
Things have changed since Betsy
died = Twenty years ago the Repub-
Ilcans of Indiana unless there was
some tall lying done-engaged in the
work of colonizing negro voters from
Kentucky, and the Democrats used to
ill their papers with horrible accounts
| of the butcherIes of colored people IN
the dissecting rooms of Indiana medl-
cal colleges; and thus was the game OF
politics played when there was real
Democratic party in those parts, the
party of hendricks, of Kerr, of Voor-
hees, of TuIpie. But that is all
changed. Every negro voter of Ken
lucky might move over to Hoosierdom
without protest from any Kentucky
Democrats; but they would be wei
coined with busy hands to hospitaele
whitecappings when they got across
the river, it the present temper OF the
HOLSTERS holds.

the C0MICAL SIDE OF
PORTSMOUTH CONFERENCE

Of course, you can't have so many
q aces and naJions mixed up in one
hotel without some clash or conflict.
Last night. for example. we came
near to having a race war. A large
Keutuckian found one of the negro
bellhops wearing the decoration OF an
order to which the kantuckian be-
longs. The beIlhop found 1t in the
hall and was wearing 1t because he
thought it was the thing to do about
the convention. The KeDtuckian de-
manded il, adding something about cut
ting a black heart out. This IS New

VAST COST or FOREST FIRES.

A million dollar fire In a lumber
yard excites attention and commen,
from Maine to California. Few pay
any attention to the $25. 600, 900 worth
OF lumber annually destroyed in the
United States by forest fires. The
price of beef, gas and railway rates Is
a permanent topic 0f active discussion
an controversy. Few give any heed to
the recent enormous increase In the
cost OF lumber or to the danger OF an
early exhaustion of our forest resources.

cleveland Leader.)

Ia it not fair assumption that the
railroads would have fewer accidents
and Kill fewer employees and passengers
If they never cut off thousands OF men
from their pay rolls IN year OF record
breaking traffic? When fewer men do
more work it is likely to be found that
many are overtaxed. On railroads that
too often means fatal dTowsiness at
posts of danger, carelessness from SUD-
jecting nature to excessive strain:
American railroads exhibit wonderful
growth in business, while they go
from bad to worse in respect to the pro-
lection of human life. When is this
lhmpal weakness to be remedIed?
