The most formidable race riot
probably on record, occurred last
Friday night, at Springfield, Hi
linois, and continued in furious
state through two days and nights.
1t was precipitated by the usual
crime Of a negro man, and also as
usual in the Northern and Western
States, the mob attacked every ne
gro who came in sight, pursued
them indiscriminately from their
homes and out of town, lynched
three or four while several others
were seriously injured, and burned
out a number of negro settlements.
The civil authorities were pOwerless
to cope with the mob and were re-
inforced by several National Guard
Still the situation was
and several other
regiments, cavalry troops and a bat
tery of artillery were ordered to the
scene before the disturbance was
quelled. Governor Deneen and Gen.
Young commander of the State
troops, were both on the ground
giving personal instructions and or
ders.
This is probably the most serious
riot against the negroes that has yet
been recorded, and occurring at the
very tomb of Abraham Lincoln, has
attracted the attention and comment
of the country from one end to the
other.
Springfield is the capital Of the
State of Illinois, a city of probably
80, 900 inhabitants. of which about
!. 900 are negroes. 1t is reported
that at least half of the negroes fled
the city during the riot. There were
in all 5, 800 soldiers on duty during
the disturbance.

The progress of the self-govern-
ing principle is imperious. 1t has
already conquered the strongholds
of absolutism Its introduction in
to the Mohammedan world means
that Parliament buildings, only
lately a strange variety of architec-
ture in all but comparatively
small area of the earth, will pres
emily dot the entire surface of the
planet. The sun at the customary
hour of Ts meridian viii look down
on the raising of national ensigns
over legislative cham bers in its en-
tire circuit of the globe. The spirit
of this generation is marked by the
introduction of the self-governing
idea in vast territories where it was
never known before. But that in
vincible idea will not be content
with even these triumphs- The
spirit of the next generation will be
marked by the greater force given
the idea in countries where, though
previously introduced, its recogni-
ton is now too limited, where the
archaic notion of a divine right in
hereditary rulers is entertained, j,
where the viii of one man or a few
men still counts for too much in an
tagonism with the will OF the many.

Mr.. Bryan's Address.

Mr.. Bryan's notification day ad-
dress is far happier and more effect
i've than that delivered last month,
upon a similar occasion, by his
Republican opponent. Though not
so long by half, it contains the pith
and point that Mr.. Taft's rambling
address was so sadly lacking in.
1'he Nebraskan had a large advan-
tage over his rival in that he was
able to stand squarely upon the
psfform of his party, whereas Mr.
Taft found it necessary to offer dis
guised apology for the Chicago pro-
nouncement and to remedy its
omissions as well as he could by ex-
preston of his personal views on
the issues studiously ignored or put
aside by his convention. Even
aside from the advantage in posi-
ton, however, Mr. Bryan has
shown himself, in this preliminary
round, a more effective speaker and
a more logical and forceful debater
than his antagonist.
First Of all, Mr.. Bryan has by
his brevity of speech insured for
himself a larger audience and wild
er hearing than that given the gar
rulous Mr.. Taft. By his ability to
condense and concentrate, he has
made sentences score points where
Mr.. Taft failed to score them in
whole paragraphs. With equal
wisdom he has made no attempt to
cover the entire political field and
exhaust every political issue in one
address, choosing rather to handle
effectively the issues which he re-
CARDS as fundamental. He has
made his appeal to reason rather
than to political passion and preju-
dice, and his arraignment of the
Republican platform and the par
tvs Legislative record is the strong
er because it is dispassionate.
In making out his case against
the dominant party, Mr. Bryan
with skillful daring, calls as wit
nesses for the prosecution the star
witnesses for the .defense-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft him
self. He quotes from Mr.. Roose-
velt's messages the latter's scath-
ing indictment Of the interests
which have so long controlled Re-
publican policies, and from Mr..
faft's Endorsement of his next
friend S arraignment. Turning to
the record of the last session, he
shows that the Republican MAORI
ty deliberately ignored the Peesi-
dents appeal for corrective legisla-
ton. The conclusion which he
draws therefrom is irresistible. Mr..
Taft is no greater than his party,
no more forceful than Mr.. Roose-
velt If the latter met defeat at
the hands of the congressional re-
dictionaries, what chance has Mr..
Taft, even should be make the at
tempt, to carry the reforms of which
he talks, but concerning which the
platform framed by his party in
convention assem- bled, is silent or
evasiye, and toward which the rec
ord shows the party antagonistic?
Whether the issue considered be
campaign publicity, direct vote for
Senators, corporation evils, the
abuse of the injunction, or any of
the others upon which Mr.. Taft 5
remarks at Cincinnati and the plat
form upon which he is nominated
are not in complete accord, the

leaders in regard to the campaign.
AS he and everybody else knows
there is no possibility of carrying
any of these States for his ticket,
the visit may be accepted as for the

George r. Sheldon, treasurer Of
the Republican National Committee,
is making a loud noise about re-
fusing campaign contributions from
corporations and claims TO have re-
mitted several checks sent him
from sources Of that character. He
also claims that the purpose of pub
fishing contributions after the elec-
ton Is proving a great deterrent in
the matter of raising funds. All of
which, ostrich like, he imagines Is
being gulped down by the Amen-
can people as gospel truth. When
he was appointed treasurer Of the
committee he boasted with much
display Of importance that contri-
buttons would be accepted from any
source and his first utterance is en-
titled to greater credit for sincerity
than anything that has fallen from
him in later days. II any checks
have been returned by him they
have had strings tied to them other
than the fact of emenating from cor
porations. That deception is too
to be accepted by intelli-
gent people, especially coming from
the Republican party which could
have no existence without the cor
porations and their votes and their
contributions.
