London. Nov 14.-There is a chorus Of

Prime Minister Sir Henry Campbell

A seml-ohciaI pronouncement by the

tunities and advantages for earning
livelihood in freedom, acquiring the
rudiments at least of an education and
bettering their condition as best they
may.
This is what Tillman insists shall
not be done, and he roars in violent
wrath at the proposition to give the
colored man equal opportunities, to
give him an equal chance to become
independent and self respecting, and
as far as may be in fact as well as in
law, equal He would give the black
man no chance to be anything but
drudge, a serf, a creature entirely
dominated and in all respects subor
dinate and dictated to by his white
master. He goes on the theory, and
draws conclusions from the assertion,
that the negro is utterly incapable and
unworthy of being anything better or
else than a slave in fact if not in law,
and he considers official treatment of
him as an equal or as entitled to equal
rights as an outrage upon the white
race in general and the Tillman tribe
in particular.
With this the people of the north
and west, and many of the south, will
not agree, and they will not tolerate
the carrying out of Tillman's theory
and policy to a very great extent. The
colored people are citizens, entitled to
the laws protection, and while partly
for policy's sake and partly out of an
cient prejudices the people of the coun-
try may allow determinations against
the blacks to a certain extent, they
will not allow either their re-enslave-
ment or determination, which seems
to be Tillman's ultimatum. If the race
war predicted by Tillman and other
blatherskites and negrophobists should
ever occur, it is they who will be
chiefly responsible for it and not the
colored people, and this the people
of the great north and west will un-
derstand, and will act accordingly.

SEIZE FOOD SUPPLIES
Mayor of Cincinnati Orders Police to
Stop Extortion.

Cincinnati, Jan. 23.-Mayor Demp-
sey yesterday afternoon issued orders
to the police to confscate food and
fuel where needed for relief of flood
sufferers and where dealers attempted
to extort unreasonable prices. This
action was taken because of numerous
reports of extortion in charges for
transportation and for relief supplies.
Those attempting extortion will be ar
rested.
The high water in the Ohio river Is
slowly but steadily receding tonight.
The railroads have begun preparations
to resume regular traffic, although it
will be several days before the tracks
are safe.
Relief work continues actively. Six
school buildings have been turned over
as temporary homes for the sufferers
The city council tonight appropriated
a sum for a relief fund which is be-
ing augmented by private subscrip-
tiOns.
Appeals for aid have been received
from many Kentucky towns.

STREET RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

There were three street car coils
ions Wednesday morning, and al
though nobody was killed several peo-
pie were injured, and that there were
no fatalities is due to good luck rather
than to good management or judg-
ment or due care on the part of the
crews. We don't know what the facts
are in these cases as to the exper-
fence and general capability of the
platform men, but it is pretty safe to
assume that they are incompetents put
in to take the places of men who
have become disgusted with the busi-
ness. However this may be, it is GER
tain that men really competent for
these positions cannot be obtained in
sufficient number permanently. There
are a good many competent and care
full motormen and conductors, no
doubt, men who have long engaged in
this work and would hardly know how
to take hold of anything else, or who
think it better to hang on at present
wages in hope of raise before long:
but the public can't and doesn't ex-
pect good, careful service of men paid
the wages these men are paid for the
work they are required to do.
This is not a matter. as the company
assumes it is, entirely between itself
and its employees. 1t is a matter in
which the pubic at large has a lively
and vital interest, for the public is en-
titled to good service and to the en-
ployment of only competent and de-
Gently paid men, who will carry peo-
pie in safety and with as little incon-
venience as possible, and in the pub
lies interest the daily papers ought to
call upon the company to raise the
mems wages and employ only exper-
fenced and trustworthy platform men
The people don't care particularly
about the smashing up of few cars
rather enjoy that, in fact-but thew
do or ought to OBJECT to being sub
jected not only to constant and irri.
tating delays but to danger also.

RAILROAD COMMISSION.

The legislature may enact a railroad
commission law, but it will not put
the power of appointing the commits
sioners in the hands of the governor,
and he ought not to expect that this
will be done. Politics should figure
as little as possible in the selection
of a railroad commission, but it will
figure no more to have it appointed by
the legislature or by board of three
officers, one of them a democrat, than
if left to a governor, who must be
democrat or republican. Why
should it be assumed that the secre-
tary of state or state treasurer would
be Influenced any more by politics or
be any more prejudiced than the gov
ernor? Why, the idea is untenable,
if not preposterous. 1t is said the peo-
pie elected Chamberlain notwithstand-
ing he is a democrat; but at the same
time they elected Benson, Steele, Craw-
ford, Dunniway and Judge Eakin by
far larger majorities. Again, admit
ting that the governor has a pretty
good head and would mean to do right,
haven't those other men the same
qualifications. And are not three good
heads better than one on such an i'm
portant business?
| But after the first choice is made
the commissioners ought to be elected
by the people. 1t is a strange and
untenable proposition again that the
people who elect other state officers,
who elect the governor, who it is con-
tended should appoint these men, that
elect our supreme judges, surely filling
a very important position, that now
even elect United States senators, can
not be trusted to elect these commits
sioners. Why should the people be
trusted in all these cases and not in
the case of railroad commissioners? :?
We have read some alleged or at
tempted reasons, invented, we sup
pose. by Mr.. Teal, but really could see
no logic, weight or reason in them.
Railroad legislation is certainly
very necessary, and a commission is
probably the best way to secure de-
sired results, but the first members of
the commission should be chosen by
a board of state officers-one of the
supreme judges would be a good per-
son to have on it-and after that elect
J ed by the people, one every two years.
1t might be added that if the people
don't get good commissioners in this
way it will be their own fault; they
will get as good ones as they choose
and deserve.

killed, perhaps the railroad company
will hear from the people in a way
that will cause some improvement in
the service. In the meantime repre-
sentatives from Portland in the leg.
islature ought to examine the subject
and see if any law could be passed
that would compel the company to
treat the public decently.

MUST A7OLOGISE Or RETIRE
Fate of Swettenham Unless He Can
Give Good Excuse.

Give Good Excuse.
London, Jan. 23-The incident aris-
ing from the exchange of letters at
Kingston between Governor SWetten-
ham and Rear Admiral Davis now ap-
pears to be entering the waiting stage,
as the government, after doing all
possible in the absence of advices from
the Governor of Jamiaca, is obliged to
defer further action until he reports.
In the meantime the trend of official
sentiment is toward having Governor
Swettenham apologize or retire, but
this Is based on the press accounts OF
the incident and on letters, and it may
be modified by Governor Swetten-
hams version, giving extenuating cir
cumstances.
In the absence of a report from the
Governor to his government, his dis
patch to Secretary Root. which has
been reproduced here. tends further to
mystify the mind of the public, which
finds it difficult to reconcile the Gov
ernor's present recognition of the as
sistance rendered by the American
squadron wit hthe terms Of the pre-
vious letter.
