A TRUTHFUL INDICTMENT.

Recently Judge Albert H. Whitfield. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Mississippi, contributes 70 The Inde- pendent an article on the subject of The Ostracized South" some extracts from which will be found interesting as well as informing. He says:
 If a Southern man were nominated for the Presidency, and possessed in disputably ten times the capacity to make great executive which any Northern opponent might have. 1t Is nevertheless tacitly understood every where that he would suffer certain and humiliating defeat merely because he came from the South. Unfitness of the Northern aspirant would detract noth- ing If only his opponent, however en- dowed morally and intellectually. hap pened to be from the South. This statement made in cold print shocks the moral sense, and yet there Is no man North or South who is honest with himself who will question its unfail- ing accuracy for an instant.
 However reluctant we may be to ad- init it we may as well assume that the Judge Is correct. There are many among us who would be glad to sec a genuine Southern Democrat nominated on a real old-fashfoned Democratic platform, but the Judge Is doubtless correct when he says that such nomi- nation would not command anything like universal support in the North. The spirit of bitterness and prejudice in the North has not yet given way to justice and fairness. and we may as well admit that the Republicans have no monopoly in that respect. A South ern presidential candidate would not obtain the solid support of Northern Democrats. And the Judge makes this further truthful remark:
 Is there any Ambassador of the Uni- ted States abroad, representing us at any foreign court now. or has there ever been under any Republican Presi- dent any such Ambassador from the South or of Democratic faith? Is 1t a correct view of the functions of an Ambassador that he represent sec tion of this country or one of its po- litical parties? Does he not represent the whole country as a sovereign unit? And, if so. is 1t anything less than { despite done the majesty of this coun- try as a great unit to select all of its
 
 party? Will we ever have done with this ineffable pettifogging. with con- duct thus infinitely unworthy of our country and our country's greatness and glory?
 Can any one deny the truth of that statement? Some good Southern Dem ocrats have been appointed to Federal Judgeships but a small page would hold their names. But for high and responsible positions outside the coun- try the Republican Presidents have gone on the idea that sne United States lies entirely North 0. Mason and Dixons line. The plain truth is that Grover Cleveland was the only Presi- dent since the war to recognize the South as a component part of the Union and he, like old Zechariah, might say, "I was wounded in the house of my friends" or of those who should have been his best friends The Judge Is correct in his indictment

movements, nor can we sec how there can be an end or limit to 1t. If one government builds the largest ship in existence. and another builds a larg- or one, where can the foolish waste of money end? The temper already dis played indicates that n is to be a race among all the nations for supre- macy on the water. and no one will be willing to lag behind. The United States may bankrupt its treasury and exhaust its resources without ever reaching the position some are con- tending for. It looks like a foolish ambition. and one not likely to be gratifisd.

plain English the following from The Hartford Times means a good deal:

It is easy to understand why Presi- dent Roosevelt may propose to trans fer MT. Cortelyou from the Postoffice Department to the head of the Treas ury Department when MT. Shaw goes out of office. Mir. Cortelyou remains at the head of the National Republican Committee. He acquired a good deal of financial experience in that capacity during the last Presidential campaign, Should the President be renominated Mir. Cortelyou will doubtless be the actual if not the nominal, manager of the Roosevelt campaign. It may be a much more comfortable arrange ment for the President to have MT. Cortelyou at the head of the treasury, rather than to put new man in that important position.
 It that means anything it means that Roosevelt, in case ne is nominat- ed, wants a man at the head of the Treasury Department wno can help along the job of raising a big cam paign fund. Cortelyou was badly smirched by the exposures in connec- tion with the corruption fund of the last Presidential campaign and the President flew in the face of common decency when he promoted such a man to a cabinet position. Now the plain intimation of The Times is that Roose- welt wants a man as head of the Treas ury Department who can get all the money needed. If that Is not what The Times means. what Is it?

Referring to Governor Nardaman's demand for the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment, The Butte Inter Mountain says:
 Setting aside consideration of the !. slight difficulties attendant upon such a step, from legal point of view. wonder is natural why Mir. Vardaman believes such proposition would re- ceIve support. Even If privately in clined to Nardamans view no North ern Republican senator would dare af- front his party by casting away tho colored vote.
 In that last sentence our contempo- rary gives one overpowering reason why the Vardandn idea cannot expect support from Republicans We cannot say what may be the legal difficulties in the way of repeating the amend ment, but we feel assured that Itepub- lican statesmen m the North are not going to cut their chances in doubtful States by killing off the colored .ote.

MT. Knight Talks Politics.

Hon. Thomas E. Knight. of Greens- boro was among the prominent visit ors to the city yesteday! MT. Knight is a member of the State Campaign Committee, but ne was unable to att tend the recent meeting. He was, however, kept in close touch with the work of the committee. He spent the larger part of yesterday at Campaign Headquarters.
 Speaking of the almost unopposed Democratic campaign, MT Knight said:
 The condition of the party through out the State is altogether encourag- ing. l confidently look for a marked reduction in the Republican and Pop ulist vote of Alabama. The comrit- tee. under the direction of Chairman J. Craig Smith. is making very ag gressive campaign. The only pnpleas- ant features of the campaign are the Walker and Jefferson County contests. In these two counties there are two candidates for sheriff, both claiming to be the Democratic nominee. While the two fights are rather warm, they are not of such a nature as to leave any lasting impression upon the party"

 It Is generally believed that the profits on the. Hearst newspapers Tn New York are immense. Now, what does The Herald think of the fact that MT. Hearts attorney, MT.

What of the sworn statement of the New Jersey Company which holds all the stock of the three corporations operating the Hearst papers in New York, to the ef- feet that this holding company owns nothing in New York which mas any taxable value whatever?
