NEGROES IN NORTHERN OFFICE,

The negroes form much larger proportion OF
the citizenship in the Southern States than IN
the Northern and if they are to have any recog-
milton as officeholders at all there Will natu-
rally be more of them appointed in the South
than in the North There are not many Office
holders among them, anyway but the Southern
critics of such appointments as that or COL
hector Crum. Of Charleston, seem TO think tnat
they have furnished an irrefutabIe argument
against placing a competent colored man In
Southern office when they say that conspicuous
Northern offices are not filed by colored men,
They have persisted in interpreting President
RooseveltS insistence on giving to the negroes
a representation in political life as an inten-
tional humiliation of the white people or the
South. It will be interesting to observe their at
titude with respect to the nomination of col
ored man for the important office Of Collector OF
Internal Revenue in this city
They ought to see in this nomination a token
of the Presidents farmindedness and sincerity.
He shows them that he is really living up TO his
doctrine of equality, and when he finds a negro
whom he believes At for an office he is as ready
to appoint him in the North, where negroes are
comparatively few. as in the South; that he is
acting impartialy on principle, with Ill will
to the South. We fear, however, that it will not
be received In this fashion, but that the South
ern politicians who have been shouting to the
North TO nave negro OIucelOIQefS at nome II
it so fond Of them, will now cry out that
the President is teaching the negroes every
where not ito know their place" We are fully
prepared to be told that pulled up by the Ander-
son nomination, the negroes of Washington are
staggering insolently on the sidewalk in
Charleston and New Orleans are refusing to be
confined TO Jim Crow quarters and in the
rural districts are even celebrating their tri-
umpb by assaults on women. We shall be told
that this conspicuous tribute to the negro in the
North is sure to intoxlcate the whole race So
hard is it to do anything with respect to the
negro-even the thing they have complained was
not dcne-whiCh will suit these critics of negro
progress, except to condemn him TO political
inferority regardless of his personal character
and attainments.

ability. He has served faithfully in other Offices

WORK OF THE PROSECUTOR

District Attorney Jerome in an address do
HVered in Philadelphia Thursday night. took
a rather more hopeful view Of the condition
OF things in New-York City than has been his
habit OF late. lie aid not conffne himself 10
the police force, a subject on which he has
been fairly outspoken recently and he went
back Of the beginning of Mayor McClellan's
administration. While he was not exuberapt
he praised Mayor Lows efforts to bring about
a better state OF things here-efforts which
would nave been still more successful if Mayor
Van Wyck's government one Of the worst In
history had not left so many hampering lega-
cies behind it.
The District Attorney, with the cooperation
Of competent force of assistants, has accom-
plished a good deal in the three years and two
months he has been in Office, but he is still ex-
erting himself unwisely In respect to the liquor
dealers. He is strong in the faith that they
should have legal opportunities to do business
on Sunday, and he wastes time in trying to
persuade the Albany Legislature to adopt his
views He might better confine his activities
to a diligent administration of his department
Mr.. Jerone has done much since he became
District eorney. Let him devote himself with
energy's0 what remains 10 be done, and honest
citizens will unite in his praise

tacks of the strikers on the enemy-assuming
for the moment that they have an enemy ana
that Industrial disputes may reach stage WHICH
may be properly accepted a state of war
but on society itself and on the lives OF nom
combatants.
Such methods can have only one erect. Ihose
who practise them or tolerate them are stamped
as outlaws and enemies of the race. Too often
labor unions have in ignorance and blindness let
themselves be led by men infected with sort
of moral rabies. 1t is only as organized labor
gets rid of its mad dogs, its Malays running
amuck and works for the advancement of wage
earners along lines of sanity, reasonableness and
responsibility that it can be an influence bene-
fetal either to the country large or TO the par
ticular persons which II is supposed TO serve.
The incidents OF the last few days confirm the
impression made by many other strikes, that
labor unions as managed are frequently not In
any sense democratic, but are strongholds of
petty despotism. II is evident that few reck-
less and dishonest Adventures, in violation of
their own law, usurped command and with loud
boasts of easy spoil dragooned an unwilling band
into brigandage. The national officers of the
labor unions are doing the best they can to save
the reputation of their whole army by putting
down this sort of irregular marauding. The
bandit leaders still swagger, but their poor
dupes are Fastening to get the best pardon they
