Congressman Buchanan is facing re-
volt of tremendous proportions. Adj
vices from every county indicate that
stress Of popular feeling his chosen lieu
tenants are dropping away and looking
for some one else to tie to-. The preva-
lent opinion is that if a strong candi-
date enters the field Buckman's own
friends will make him see the situa-
ton and induce him to Withdraw.
One reason for such drastic action is
the fear of defeat at the polls. #

republicans admit Buchanan would lose
thousands Of votes, and would be Sc
riously threatened by such a man as
Sullivan.
The break from Buchanan is signal
lied by leading editorials in several
of the district papers, which have sup
ported him in previous campaigns. Last

that he realized that something must be
done, SO he brought the French and Ger

this the Post rejects as vague and I'M
satisfactory. How did our, ambassador
bring Them together, when and how

pei them to explain their. differences,

These are questions which no news
paper has the right to ask a diplomat
of the first rank, and we understand
that Lord White is as rank as any we
have. Diplomacy does not answer ques-
lions. Diplomacy simply exhibits re-
suits and exclaims, in the language of

MIME. GADsKI's RECITAL

Would that every lover of music in
Minneapolis might have heard Nine.
Gadski in her recital given at the First
Baptist church last evening, instead of
the small audience which did hear her.
Those who did not go missed one of the
those who did, will remember for many
a long day the famous singer and her
songs. II
The small audience, however. did not
prevent Nine. Gadski from singing mag
nifcently, and the enthusiasm of the
audience was enough. to gladden. the
heart Of. any artist: The opera excerpts
while the diva shone in every number,
it was in these that she was really
most effective. She is grandly dramatic
and sang the Wagner numbers con
amore. After the Liebestod' she
was recalled again and again and re:

Taft on the Negro Question.

q Secretary Taft s speech at Tuskegee
is the calmest and sanest contribution
to the literature Of the negro problem
which has emanated from a responsible
public man in many a day. While the
address may be criticized as RELOCATING
the negro to the time when he shall
have earned political rights, whereas
those rights are now guaranteed to him
by the highest law Of the land, yet it
is true, as the secretary said, sDecla-
rations Of equality offer but feather
weight against the inevitable impulse
of human nature -.
The inevitable impulse in the south
was to keep in the. white man Is hands
the political power of the state. That

Chicago,s M. o. Referendum.

Chicago's vote on municipal owner
ship lis assumed in some quarters TO
have been contradict story, but 1T Is not
necessarily SO. The voters, by q small
majority, declared in favor of issuing
the Mueller certificates, and they voted
also in favor of the city taking over
the street railways. This was neces-
sary consequent Of the vote for Mueller
certificates. If Mueller certificates are
to be issued, they must be issued for
the purpose Of buying street railways,
else there is no reason for issuing them.
Yet the proposition to enter upon the
operation Of street railways failed. It
failed because go per cent Of the vote
was required to carry it, while ma
iority carried the other propositions. on
the little ballot. If all the propositions
had required 60 per cent vote they
all would have been defeated. - If they
had all bsen~ mere majority PROPOSE
tions they all would have carried. AS
matter of fact, the operation propo-
sition received higher percentage OF
the vote than either Of the others.
The fact seems to be that there were
about 40 per cent of the voters op-
posed to any sort of municipal owner
ship of street railways and a bare ma
jority in favor of both ownership and
operation. The 40 per cent is very
