that it is no honor to their own sect, or

The spirit of Christianity is tolera-

The faith of Buddha, however, has

followers of other beliefs, but has
never met sword with sword except in
self defense. It is a mystic, tenuous

A Neero's Solution of che Negro
Problem.

The great trouble with the negro OF
the south is too much freedom. Ihls Is
the ng,llar but well-fortifed position
of a well-informed colored man who dis
cusses in this paper the race problem
which harnesses the south.
He calls attention to the condition
of the negro in slavery and to the fact
that for nearly two centuries and
half he never knew what Individual
initiative was even in the most simple
relations Of life. Even his absence
from the plantation was regulated by
his master. 'r #
Emancipation brought liberty to go
where he pleased and to do as he
pleased, and the consequences have
been disastrous. Mr.. Mitchell is seek
ing to organize influences for his bet
terment by associating the best colored
men for united effort, with which he
seeks also to get the cooperation Of
white employers. He does not suggest
anything approaching peonage or forci-
BILE restraint, but rather the influence
of the best of his own race around the
irresponsible negro supplemented with
such restraints as the swhite employer
can properly impose as condition Of
employment. This is very brief out
line Of the general plan, but it contem-
plates protection Of creature who is
little better than a child in the mat

It has suppressed it's views on many
questions. such as civil service, sepa-

intention Of putting before the people
merely the best possible edition of the

they want to come under the provisions
of the home-rule act the chance is now
offered, with little or no controversial

Writers in Politics.

The success of Winston Churchill
first essay in politics seems to aston
ish Americans more than similar feat
would in England. In the British isles
they are accustomed to the writer in
politics. In the present liberal cabinet
three principal secretaries are literary
men. Mr.. Haldane, the secretary for
war, is known as philosophic writer
of great power and erudition. Mr.. Bir-
rell, the minister Of education, whose
bill for free schools has Wracked the
island and nearly wrecked the admin
istration, is an essayist of singular
purity Of style. Mention Of Mr.. Nor
ley, the biographer Of Gladstone and
secretary for India, calls up the pic
ture of a literary man before it does
that of a politician. The secretary for
Scotland, Mr.. Bryce, is a historian OF
two hemispheres and highly esteemed
in both. All of these men have achieved
administrative success and are power
on the platform.
America has some scholarly men in
the public service, but they have been
of two kinds, practical men like Roose-
welt, whose writings are not to be
classed as the highest type of htera-
ture, but rather the inevitable product
Of minds overlooking with ideas demand
ing expression, and literary men like
Hawthorne and Lowell, whose political
preferment was an effect Of their ca
reer in letters. We have had few men
of the type of Morley, Disraei and
Bryce, in whom the artistic and the
practical ran parallel courses. The
nearest to this kind of man in the pub
lie life of the day is Henry Cabot
Lodge Of Massachusetts,, who is re-
spectacle literary figure and .'withal a
very shrewd and nepotic politician. me
late Senator Hoar was another who'
without having written so much as
Lodge, has written better, and. whose
speeches and public papers, like those
of the late Senator Davis of Mlnneso-
ia, gave evidence of genuine scholar
ship. =
But even this type Of public man is
having hard time to maintain h1m-
self. The tendency Of politics IS so
much toward the man of money and
commercial power that the feat of
Churchill in organizing an effective OPP
position to a deep-rooted oligarchy IN
New Hampshire is the more remark
able. IL =: F.

A New Way to Irish Home Rule.

English politics is disturbed over the
recent use Of the kings prerogative to
establish constitution for the Trans
vaal. A bill was first introduced in the
commons, but as it seemed slow
process of getting constitution the
prime minister established it forthwith
by the use Of the kings prerogative.
The conservatives were inclined at first
to make fuss about it, but when they
remembered that Mr.. Balfour by the
use OF the same prerogative changed
the. whole constitution of the war office,
created a council of officers and abol-
ished the time-honored office of COM
mander-in-c chief, they found it more
convenient to say nothing.
: It appears that there is an essential
difference between the power of the
crown and the power of the wearer of
the crown. The royal prerogative is
something aside from the royal person.
King Edward could not exercise the
royal prerogative without. getting him.
self in trouble, but the minister of the
day can.
It is as if President Roosevelt had
created the general staff for the army
by a letter addressed to the secretary
of war or had granted the interstate
commerce commission power over rates
by proclamation. Such acts would be
clearly illegal and would subject the
president to impeachment. But in
Great Britain the minister can use the
flexible constitution of the empire in
some such ways without danger to him
self. The only risk he runs is in in
censing the country to the point of de-
manding his retirement.
The tory interest in the recent exer-
else of the prerogative in South Africa
is accentuated by the fear that the
same process may be used to extend
home rule to Ireland. The Irish agri-
cultural act Of 1899 created statu-
tory council Of agriculture for Ireland.
This council is partly nominated and
partly elected by the county councils
and the act empowers the government
to confer upon it any administrative
powers held by any other public de-
partment in Ireland It would be quite
possible for the government by use of
the royal prerogative to make this coun-
Gil the foundation of an Irish parlia-
ment by handing over to it the power
over the police, railways, licensing, edu-
cation and the Door law administration.
Ireland would then have her parlia-
ment without government bill having
run the gauntlet Of the house of lords
or become the engrossing subject of
English politics thru a sultry debate.
| The best 4opinion in, England is that
it is only necessary to get the Irish
parliament going in order to dissipate
the fears of those unionists who believe
that it means separation or civil war.
Some people do not believe it means
either one, but this the. unionists never
will be convinced by argument or ap.
peal. The only way to persuade them
! is by demonstration. E@:@ s.

Yellow journalism and Race Riots.

The Fulton county grand jury in con-
sidering the causes of the recent mob
outbreak in Atlanta places a large share
Of the blame upon the yellow jour
nalism Of the Atlanta News, an eve
ming paper which. on the Hateful Sat-
urday evening when the lives Of all the
colored people in the city, innocent or
guilty, hung as by a%thread, snapped
the thread with screeching editorial
appeal to assassination. 49,. - -.
It had it's effect, for the streets were
soon filed with raging crowd Of armed
and insane men who began the dread
full work Of asasulting, manning and
butchering negroes on the streets, in the
cars, even dragging them from their own
homes: to wreak red revenge upon the
innocent for the crimes of men most of
whom were already under arrest.
The police lost control of the situa.
ton. Drunk with blood, the mob ragged
thru the streets day. and night and
turned the capital of the south into a
hell for three days. Now the reaction
has come. Thingssare seen in their true
proportion. It is known. that on the
day when the mob took possession of
Atlanta but two. attempts at rape had
been made by negroes, that both had
been averted and the assailants placed
under arrest. On such slim grounds the
call to a race war was uttered and the
response thereto: now constitutes At
