TiIIman VIII BE There.

The black folks I'm Chicago are threaten
ing to attack Senator TiIman If he ap-
pears in that city next Tuesday night to
deliver an address in response to the invi-
tation Of some Chicago society women for
the benefit Of a hospital fund. Mayor
Dunno has been appealed to to deny the
South Carolina statesnlan's right to speak
in the town. The mayor is in a quandary.
He wants to prevent riot and bloodshed.
but, being a Democrat himself, ne believes
IN the inalienable right of free speech.
Therefore. he is arranging TO have Sena-
tor Tnlman safeguarded, though privately
he is advising him to stay away from Chi
cago at this time. The blacks are terribly
stirred up. Mayor Dunno has received an
anonymous letter from a eolored woman.
saying that Senator Tillman's speech at
Orchestra Hall will never be concluded.
He viii be killed" He has communicated
its contents by telegraph to the Senator,
and the South Carolinian has wired back
that he Will be tnere 20 make his speech
at the appointed time. In this connection
an incident which occurred in Washington
last winter is interesting. A Western ne
gro politician had been nominated for an
important office. Grave charges were filed
against him by negro woman school
teacher in his state. She came to Wash
ington to press her charges The woman
laid them, before Senator Tillman. and be-
fore no other member of the Senate. The
South Carolinian told her that she must
be mistaken in him; that Northern negroes
generally accounted him an enemy of their
race. Her reply was that she was aware
of this, but she believed he was Just and
fair. Mr.. Tillnan took charge of me
woman's case. and fought for it as vigor-
ously as though she had been a white
woman The man was confirmed by a
narrow margin, but Senator Tnlman voted
against him

Hoke Smith the Democratic Moses

evidently Democratic. takes its ideas from
the Jim Griggs School or the Senator
Rayner School. we are not prepared to
say, but IN some of its ideas it is not only
sensible, but unique. The News advocates
Hon. Hoke Smith as the standard bearer
for 1908. and says:
we believe if al the Smiths in this country Of
ours would unite with the Democratic party in put
ting over one Of their name. Of whom they should
he more than proud irrespective OF party affiliations,
that the present tide Of success which is beginning
10 food the Democratic ranks would overflow and
sweep this country from center 20 circumference.
Lots get 10 work On the Smith family. Il is a bet
ter proposition than government ownership Of rail-

The Smiths compose a nightly clan,
and they could, no doubt, be easily herded
and shown the great opportunity before
them. What with the solid South and
the great army Of Smiths to be rallied
from outside points. the way really seems
strewn with political roses already. But,
merely as a precaution, Jones should go
on for the second place.
Any way you look at IT, Smith and
Jones ticket-especially one headed by the
unimitated and inimitabie Hoke Smith
would be mighty powerful in the electoral
college,

Bryan and Folk.

Some queer things happened in the
election out In Missouri. but the queerest
OF all. and probably the most significant.
was the defeat Of State Senator johnny"
Morton. Mr.. Morton had been a member
OF the Missouri senate nearly twenty
years. His district is Overwhelmingly
Democratic. During hts entire service in
the Legislature he has been identified
with the corporation interests. and has
been one OF the chief lieutenaats Of Col
"Bill' Phelps Strenuous efforts have
been made heretofore 70 defeat Morton.
but his appeal 20 the Democratic sentI-
ment Of his district has prevailed until
this year william Jennings Bryan, pre-
sumably without knowing Of the grounds
Of opposition 70 Morton, went to the dis
trict early In the campaign and made q
powerful personal appeal for him. Gov.
Folk followed Mr.. Bryan and asked the
people 70 vote for members of the leg
islature. regardless Of their political nf-
filiatiOns lie did not mention Senator
MOrtOn's name. but his audience wildly
applauded his plea for honest legislators.
What Is meant by an honest legislator n
Missouri is one that is not suspected Of too
friendly feeling for the corporations Nor
ton was defeated by a big majority, and q
Republican will represent his ancient
Democratic stronghold in the next legis-
lature. Missourians generally declare that
the defeat Of Morton IN the circumstances
related indicates that their young COVER
nor is now stronger in Missouri than is
Mr. Bryan. and that this fact will play
a big part in Democratic Presidential
politics from now on. Heretofore Mr..
Bryan has been stronger in Missouri than
all the other politicians in that State
combined.

A PRESSING ISSUE.
Tariff Not Likely TO Be Kept Out of
Politics Until 1908.

From the New York World
IF our over-protected manufacturers are
soon confronted with a shrinkage in their
foreign trade, even they may discover
the expediency Of lower tariff duties in
order 10 keep open the doors Of rich
customers like Germany and Canada.
Our 'stand-patters" are purely benevo-
lent class Of legislators. In the kindness
Of their hearts they may yet have TO con-
sent TO President ROosevelt's extracting
from his pigeOn-hole the old tariff recon-
mendations which he once suppressed IN
der their persuasion. Neither Germany
nor Canada is likely to show that sense
of Republican fitness which dictates that
the tariff issue be kept out Of politics
until after the next Presidential election

'CuriOusly enough" said Hon. ". r.
Smith, one of the Texas delegation IN

years become a great cotton-prOducing
section. Twenty years ago people never
dreamed that cotton could be proftably
grown in Western Texas. The West was
then still regarded as in the seml-arid
belt and was thought fit for nothing ex-
cept as a grazing region. All this has
been changed in a surprisingly short
time. and this year the big counties west
Of Fort Worth. on the Texas and Pacific
Railroad, have been the banner Gotten
counties Of Texas. The reason for the
transformation is that good seasons can
now be looked for and % plentiful & rain
fall as the other portions Of the State re-
ceiye- The land is as rich as the Mis-

has gone up in the past ten years from s.
