continued Mrs. Eichberg. "The pres

PRACTICAL POLITICS.

The Boston Herald takes ihe posi- ton that the Republican party. having determined on the stand pat policy, would stand pat and see the ten mil- lion negro citizens of tho United States reduced to a dark and hopeless serfdom rather than consent to a mod ifeation of the extortionate and mo- nopoly-breeding tariff" To this out burst The Portland oregonian re- spends:
 But there Is no relation whatever between the tariff and the negro dis franchisement. On the one hand the Republican party could do nothing for enforcement Of negro suffrage in the South. if 1t would. That scheme has other hand, among the supporters of the extortionate and monopoly breed- ing tariff, there are none more strenu- ous than many of these same white people of the South. who are determln- ed on negro disfranchisement. In practical politics the two things hold no relation to each other. Prejudice. race antipathy. are things above all politics, and, If acute, control and di- rect all politics. It is the practical The theorist, dreamer and faddist never will.
 The oregonian doesn't see the point. or 1t aoivds 1t. for there is a relation between the two Passing over The Heralds somewhat strained remarks about the negroes being reduced to I state of hopeless serfdom." which mo- body proposes to do. the fact seems to be plain that the principal reason tn" D QeraI Lnx F4r off inc to change race conditions in the South is that they fear such action would lead to a determined fight on the present tariff. We do not say that there is any understanding on the part of leading men of the two parties, but it has the appearance of each side re- maining quiet for the present so that neither will have cause to become ag- gressive. It may be practical poll tics.'' and perhaps it is. The extreme protectionists now control the Re- publican party and do not care to have anything occur that might jeop' ardize their interests.
 The Oregonian, by the way, has a good deal to say about practical poll itics." and it can find plenty of evil dence of it in the actions of its own party. If that party doesn't play poli- tics for what there is in it. we do not know wherein 1t falls And to great extent they play it for the money there is in it. It may be practical politics. as The Oregonian intimates. for the Southern States to safeguard them selves against a danger that is always present. but if so 1t Is of a kind to be commended.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER Ia, 1906.

Some exceedingly small politics Is now being played over in Georgia in connection with Hon. s. G. McLen- don, who has recently been nominated by the Democratic Convention at Ma con for the office of Railroad Commis- sioner. Some small politicians are trying to create a prejudice against him because he supported Palmer and Buckner. in 1896 The Savannah Press says the objection might have been urged against Mir McLendon before he was nominated. but the deed is already done now and his name Is on the Democratic ticket for an important State once. He will probably be cleo ted in spite of this objection. If two men were contesting in a Democratic convention for a Democratic nomina- eion this argument would be a strong one. The nomination would probably go to the man wno had shown unbro- ken party allegiance"
 We are not disposed to believe that the Georgia Democrats are so hide bound as to jeopardize MT McLen- don's prospects for such a reason. If any of them don't want to vote for him because he was a "bolter" let them read the advice given by Mir. Bryan to the Democrats of Illinois. His advice to them to bolt the ticket in a certain contingency is based en- tirely on reasons personal to himself. There is no principle involved as was the case in 1Ssa.

 Come play with me-" But you must trudge
 Away to school. To do hard sums
 And mind a rule. But boys and girls
 I'll tell you what I'd rather go to school
 Than not.

 You'll just look back While mem'ry scoots
 The backward track. And you'll be glad
 And find 1t pays To do your pest

Mir. White. when he was writing the cold storage platform for the Demo- cratic Convention which he brought in his pocket from Birmingham, must have laughed in his sleeve when he indulged in this piece of slight of hand:
 We recommend that the Governor who shall be elected in November, 1906 fill any vacancies occurring in the office of United States Senator from this State after his induction into of flee. by appointing to fill the first va cancy thus occurring the person who received in the late Democratic pri- mary the highest number of votes for alternate Senator. and by appointing to fill the next vacancy thus occurring the person who received in said pri- mary the next highest number Of votes for alternate Senator-said appoint ment or appointments to continue and be effective only until the meeting Of the next regular or extraordinary ses- sion of the Legislature.

There have been few occasions in recent years when a presiding officer has had a more strenuous time than that which Hon. R k. Barnes. chair man of the Democratic Convention. had to face last Monday, for a few hours. There was intense passion and impatience exhibited by the majority of the Convention. and MT. Barnes as to men and matters before the Con ventlon was in sympathy with the Co., mer majority. It must be said for him. however. that he hc'd the scales fairly and justly and tried to do justice to both sides. If at times his rulings seemed partisan. reelection taught that he was following parliamentary lines. without regard to which s'de they ap- piled. The committee could not have made a fairer or wiser selection for chairman of the Convention.
