else to run the risk of being accused of being no friend of the coiored voters of Ohio, if he opposes the confirmation. The whole object sought by such a nomination will be to enYbarrass and weaken the ohio Senator: the interests of the public service will not be con sidered.
 In addition to the purpose to ham string Senator Foraker. Is to be seen the desire to secure the control of the Ohio vote in the next Republican Ma tional Convention, where. as MT. Long worth says, some man who is in entire symp5thy with the policies of Mir. Roosevelt is to be nominated next year for President of the United States
 That is New England view We of the South care but little what Roosevelt does to the Northern Republicans. If he secs proper to feed them on the broth they are so fond of preparing for ns we can but wish him a large spoon. At the same time, even that threat to appoint an unfit negro to an important position. merely out of a desire to get even with enemies in his own party. is an exceedingly small business. Never- theless, as far as he and Forsker are concerned. we arc perfectly willing for. them to skin their own skunks.

THEY KNOW HIM.

The opinion that is held In the In- dian country of Secretary Hitchcock, and of the treatment accorded the In.
 dians under his management, is well il- frustrated in the following editorial from the last issue of The Muskogee Fhenix They know him out there and have kept watch on his pfVceedings and they know where he has failed to do justice to those. people. Knowing all
 this. they may be excused for not hay ing confidence or trust in him. The
 Phenix says:
 Further scandals in connection with Choctaw and Chickasaw warrants has lead Secretary Hitchcock to say he IS anxious to prevent further leotins of treasuries. As usual however. he is too late. His investigations are invar- tably after the wrong has been done Then It is that the virtuous Secretary fsf ndan lerr,oryp n Sso1r ses They " g here a few days-fearn 1t all---and has ten back to Washington with q report. These reports the ingenuous Secretary asking that legislation be enacted to prevent further stealing. In tho meanwhile he keeps the path between his office and the White House warm by frequent visits to the Presi- dent. At these little visits he tells the chief executive what a great man he is and what he Is doing to protect the Indians. He does not tell. however, that it was under his administration that he permitted Congress to pass that legislation which permitted the Cheetaw- Chickasaw citizenship court to fix the fee Of Mansfield, Mo- Murray and Cornish. amounting to s750,00O paid out of Indian funds. To do him justice he did oppose the payment of this exorbitant charge, but where he enough to prevent gratis and steals He is invariably the last fnan in his de- partment to hear of scandafs and steals, but when he does. how he does investi- gate and nothing more--the Indians continue to be robbed and he continues his too-late Investigations.

The Other Day
BY PHIL H. ARMSTRONG.

 The other day Cor so 1t seems) We. strolled together down this lane And we were happy with our dreams, Chimed in the mating birds refrain. You hummed some foolish, sweet love Somehow it seems--the other day The sun stin shines down through the
 trees, The birds still warble happily. The same sweet odors on the breeze, But somehow they are naught to me; Naught to me since you're away, Though you were here--the other day. Thu old path winds toward the spring Wherein the old gourd hangs I know: 'Tis strange---no change in anything: Iris just the same as long ago. Except my hair is flecked with gray Where it was black---the other day.

ALrkn. BUT DIFFERENT.

Jtsxt alike, only quite different. said some one in speaking of the resignation Of wallace and shonts from the posi- tlonse of Chairman of the Canal Commits sion. It cannot be forgotten that when Mir. NaIiace resigned he was bitterly assaiied by the administration, and charged with having deserted an in- portant and responsible government po- aitiouf iii order to get more pay from urivafe corporation. It was even inti- mated that. he had sold out and seere- tsry raft sent him a communication in which. among other things, he said to hsm: you seem utterly indifferent to the significance of your, conduct" and charged him with changing his position .for mere lucre," with much more of the same sort of denunciation.
 when MT. shonts resigned from the same position a few days ago, there was none of this. Quite the reverse, in fact. yet he stated in plain terms that he resigned his position in order to take charge of the New York subway pro- feet. which he said was more to his taste. and we may add that 1t paid bigger salary. There has been noth- ing to show that Mir. Wallace was act uated by such motives as were charg- cd against him, or that the language used by Taft was in any manner justi- fed. Mir. Shonts has not denied that he quit one job to take better one but there has been no invections hurled at him by any of the administration of- fcials. The cases are just alike, only quite different.

Selheimer was re- uortad as in consultation with mem bsre of the Senate passing upon the eonstttutionality of certain railroad hslis. that have since passed that body. can it be, that he draws up the rail- road bills and then gives his eonstitu- 4sonal opinion about his own work?

FOR REVISION or TARIFF.
Governor of Massachusetts Originator
 of Petition

Governor of Massachusetts Originator
 of Petition Boston Special.
 Governor Guild was the originator of the petition to the President and Con gress which appeared on January 50. asking for prompt action by the Pres ident to secure a revision of the tariH. He dld not consult with Senators Lodge and Crane, or with any others Of the Massachusetts delegation in Washing ton, before he determined to take this action. he believes that he represents the wishes of a large majority of the people of Massachusetts, regardless or party, and even stand-patters agree that he IS right in this matter.
 A Washington dispatch saying that 1t is expected that. Governor Guild will send a letter to the President instead of petition. so that the President can write to him hls assurances of sym pathy with revision. but that he can do nothing because other states are not as active for revision as Massachus setts, is regarded as giving Governor Guild sufficient Justification for his ac- ton, If there is to be any activity among the States some State must move first, and Massachusetts has taken the step.

It admits that there arc some who do not beiong to either class but they are so few in number that they have no power or influence The Democrats of the new State should be easily able to take care of that crowd.

Some days ago the following dispatch was sent out from Washington:

 President Roosevelt, it Is understood has a joker up his sleeve for Senator Foraker, which will test brotherly love of the latter for the colored citizen. It Is said to be the intention of the Pres ident to appoint Ralph Tyler, a Col umbus. Ohio, negro, to q fat Federal offce In that State. probably the sur veyorship of the port of Cincinnati, Sen ator Foraker's home town
 Tyler has been strongly indorsed by Booker Washington The President has looked him over and is said to be sat-. ishcd with him. Tyler has already been indorsed by Senator Forakcr and Sena- tor Dick for consular office
 4 good deal Of comment was called forth by this publication. and one from New England contemporary. The Hartford Times, Is worth reproducing That paper says:
 TO nominate a negro politician from Columbus to q prominent Federal office In Senator Foraker's home city will be what is ordinarily known as "a very sharp trick in politics. Of course. the appointment will be ohiectionable to the business men of Cincinnati but they will be told that they owe it en . tirely to the lack of loyalty" on tine part of Senator Foraker to the gentle man in the White House. and that if they do not wish 10 he compelled to approach a negro surveyor of the post. with their hats in their hands, they must not send such independent white men as Foraker to represent them in the United States Senate
