prosperity of the Congo State under u more
enlightened and humane administrator tnaii
that which It has thus far had. The contrast
between the Congo and, for example, brltsn
Nigeria is highly instructive. Nigeria Is no.
one-tenth as large as the Congo in area aoo
has not been under exploitation as long. YET
the yearly exports of Nigeria are Slo'''o'ooo
10 the Congo's S10.625,O00, and-far more Sig
nifcant stil--the imports of Nigeria are also
about S15,750,000. while those of the oohgo
are only 100000 That is to say, Nigeria Is
being so civilized that the natives make large
purchases of European supplies while the neg
leeted and oppressed creatures in the congo
purchase almost nothing.
If the Belgian colony can be put upon any
thing like the same basis of progress, prosper
ity and civilization as the British colony, 1t

the world is that, whether pecuniary profit or
loss results, the Congo State shall be redeemed
from the reproach of savagery and shall be adj

ANTI-MONOPOLTSTS.

The Hon Thomas Z. Watson had one expert
ticket with William ]. Bryan, and is disposed
to congratulate himself that it has never fallen
to his lot to have another. Mr. Watson likes
to talk, and notices with dspleasure MI
Bryan's growing habit of monopolzing the
talking for any cause with which he associates
himself Says the Populist candidate for Pres
ident in recent issue of 'The Jeffersonian" ::
At Bryan's notification Mr.. Kern was allowed
10 be present. but was not allowed TO speak
BRYAN monopolized the talk. Then at kernS
notification Bryan allowed Kern to be present
and actually allowed him to speak very snort
pieCe-after which Bryan took possession OF
the stage and monopolized the talk. Modest
man. Bryan is. Not at all greedy OF attention.
applause limelight, advertisement. Poor Kern:
How he must have envied James Sherman ana
Judge Sam Williams, who were the heroes or
their own nominations, with no Bryan TO
butt in.
There would never be limeight enough to go
around if Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Watson were to
become colleagues again in any political enter
prise. There is no longer room enough on the
same political platform for Mr.. Bryan and Mr.
Hearst Fortunately, there is no limelight
trust in politics as there is in theatricals, and
the enemies of monopoly cannot be prevented
from engaging in competition Mr.. Watson,
Mr. Hearst Mr.. Hisgen and Mr.. John Temple
Graves can be depended upon to see that Mr.
Bryan does not absorb more than 40 per cent
Of the focal space on the Populist-radical side
of the national platform.

NEGRO VOTES NOT WANTED.

Colonel Watterson's appeal 10 Mr.. Bryan ito
,fshape his speeches on the tour of the close
Estates TO draw the negroes from their
saIliance with the Republican party" will hardly
meet with a favorable response from that re-
sourceful politician. Mr.. Bryan is willing
enough TO carry water on both shoulders. He
makes a speech one day 10 prove that he is
strict construction state rights Jeffersonan, and
the next day he propounds some scheme of pure
state socialism like government control Of all
production and government regulation of the
prices at which products are to be sold at every
crossroads from Maine 10 California. On
Labor Day he blandly suggested that the labor
problem could be solved by having the federal
government determine Just what compensation
everybody was entitled 10 ror his services.
T,wenty-four hours later he delivered an adj
dress on The State and the Nation" ia which
be reverted to anti-centraliZaIion and individual
ism. and held that the rights Of the states must
be preserved as the surest bulwark against anti
Jeffersonian tendencies. Mr.. Bryan can In
dulge In as many contradictions as he sees fit
SO long as he sticks to the field of academic
politics Most Democrats do not know or care
whether be is Jeffersonian or anti-JeffersOnian.
But if it comes TO a practical issue like the
Democratic party's treatment of the negro con-
tradictions become embarrassing. They buzz
and sting like nestful Of hornets. We do not be-
neve that Mr.. Bryan will venture to open the
door Of hope TO the Colored Brother, as Colonel
watterson wants him TO do and as he might like
TO do himself, for the simple reason that he
dares not offend the Southern wing of the
Democracy which. when all is said, dominates
the practical policy Of the party. Mr. Bryan
knows that the South would turn and rend him
if he offended its race prejudices; for it values
his success and the success OF the party in the
nation as nothing compared with the main
renance of the barrier which it has set up
against the negro. "The Charleston News and
Courier undoubtedly reflects the opinion Of the
Solid South when it says that Democratic vic
tory this wear would be much too dearly pIir-
chased If If should be achieved with the aid Of
the negro vote at The North. Here is its warn
ing 10 Colonel WattersOn and the other advO-
Gates Of the Open Door;

over Judge Taft, we hope thai Tie negroes win
