" IS an interesting circumstance
that the industrial and commercial
rivalry Of Japan is to be directed, for
obvious reasons, against those very
two nations which have been her clos
est friends and to which, for her awak-
enlng already achieved. she owes
most. These are the United States
and the United Kingdonl-or perhaps
the whole British Empire
New York Tribune.
1t adds greatly to the interest OF
the circumstance that two of the most
powerful Caucasian nations are COM
PEELED to admit the existence of a
1ark-skinned rival The comparative
absence Of color-prejudice among Eng
hshmen renders this admission com
paratively painless; the intensity, of
that prejudice among Caucasian Unit
ed States Americans has just the con-
irary effect. But the u. S. Americans
care far more for cents than for senti-
mental vagaries and will not allow col
or.prejudice to interfere with their
money getting. The Chinese boycott
converted California from sand lot pol.
'tlcs as speedily as the old time. sim
herS were converted on the day of
Pentecost, the yellow fever scare con-
verted Jimcrowdom into suppliants

prestidigitateur in manipulating money

The Democrats of Worcester county,
maryland, favor the Poe amendment
because the said amendment presents
an easy, efficient and expeditions
method, free from any objection on
constitutional grounds, of eliminating
a large part of the present ignorant,
prejudiced negro vote of the State
from further participation in politics. .
This declaration is accompanied by
long TRADE against the Negro race. 2
Now these Maryland statesmen ought
to learn the fact, if the Poe amend
ment were restricted rigidly to the
Negro race it would apply to scarce
" anybody in Maryland and if it ap-
plies to the mixed races of the United
States, it is inconceiyably nonsense
cal and rreposterously untrue. Among
the most distinguished men Maryland
has ever produced were two OF this
mixed race. Benjamin Benneker and
Frederick Douglass. Their names will
live and be revered and honored when
those of German and his rabble shall
have been forgotten.

1t is reported that at recent ex-
animation OF candidates for admis-
sion to the Naval academy at Annapo-
lis only eleven out of twenty-five were
found sufficiently sound physically to
be admitted. The whole twenty five
passed the mental examination, but
fourteen OF them were unable to pre-
sent the necessary physical require
ments Those candidates were the
scions Of our "best' families, and their
physical condition is criterion Of the
morality of the progenitors from whom
they sprung; for physical degeneracy
is the necessary result of moral de-
linquency. The sins OF the parents
are the calamities Of the offspring.
It might be well for the country to
devote less attention to the race prob
lem and more to the evils that con-
front the best people.
