summer and Politio..

Summer is passing away and
the boasted republican prosperity
has not yet returned. Autumn
will be followed by winter, With
everything depicted in republican
campaign oratory.
The ,epublioan candidates, poll.
ticians and offioeholders every.
where are insisting that the ooun-
try is 30 prosperous that exciting
political conditions should not be
distu. Ued. This is most true 30
far as 1t concerns the immenoe
army of officeholders who mustered
at Chicago to shout themselves
hoarse for Roosevelt and third
term and are now taxing all their
energies TO elect Roosevelt's
m arionette. What they want
above all things is to be lei alone
while they are sitting at the public
orb drawing their salaries with
monthly regularity, Submitting
themselves as part for the whole
country, by natural process the
hundreds of thousands Of other
people who are thrown out OF EN-.
ployment by republican policy are
beyond their range of yision.
AS long as they are happy and
prosperous the general di0treGS
gives them little disturbance.

Don
Like the Negro.

Our republican brethren are
making much ado over the treat
ment the "poor, down.trodden me-
grop received from the Charleston
Democratic Convention. and they
are protesting great love FOR the
negro, to the end that they may
get his vote without the necessity,
80 general in the past, of buying 1t.
In the platform declaration in fla.
vor of the Jim Grow oar law, they
mournfully declare that the demo.
cratic party has surrendered every
hope of victory this fall. And
when republican newspapers and
republican politicians mourn that
there is no hope for the democracy
it is pretty good Indication that
the demooratio party has been
strengthened, and that the repub
lioans are on the run. One has yet
to discover republican newspaper
that has the good of the democrat
10 party at heart.
But let us look into the republi-
can attitude upon the samesqueH-
ton. In the last session of the
Legislature. the republican party
had two.thirds majority in both
houses. It organized both houses,
appointed committees controlled
by republicans, and was absolutely
responsible for every measure that
was enacted, aud for the defeat of
every measure that was defeated
In the house a republican member
introduced Jim Grow car bill. II
was reported favorably by the re.
publican committee on the judi
diary. It passed the republican
house, and was only killed in the
republican senate by close vote.
The republican party loves the
negro not one whit more than the
democratic party. It fawns upon
him only because it realizes tina,
without his vote, the republican
party is doomed to defeat Ninety
per cent of the white republicans
favor a Jim Grow oar law, But
the republican party, under the alb
solute diotation of the bosses, will
not declare for the enactment Of
suoh a law.
The Issue is clearly drawn The
white republican who loves hia
state, who desires that his wife OF
sister may travel on railroad train
without the probability of her be
ing insuIted by drunken negro.
will cast his vote for the party that
openly and frankly declares it's pc
sition upon this question and that
will, If put in power by the people
enact Jim Grow oar law, and will
provide for the elimination of the
lignorant and unqualified negro
from the politics of the state.
If he is honest with himself
with his family and with his state,
there is no other course.

A SINGULAR FIND.

recent dispatch from Austin, Tex. as. printed in one of our exchanges is going to set the esteemed Houston Post wrong end up. It reads thus: discovered on the ranch of Joe Irving. fifteen miles from here. The fish are perfectly preserved in stone, 5000 feet above sea level. The deposit covers an area of two square miles.
 Now let The Post stand up and in the presence of it's, assembled fellow. citizens solmenly declare that the aforesaid wonder is just beyond the city limits of Houston. However, we don't know that 1t is necessary for The Post can find a mountain of petri- fled gas in its city if 1t wants to get ahead of other parts of Texas.
 But what The Post may think or say on the subject is not of so much importance as Is the story itself. pro- vided it is true. Petrified fish have been found ere now. as we'll as praeti- cally all other forms of animal life, but to find them fin such vast quan- titles, and on a mountain nearly a mile high is something new In the way of ancient relics. and it is up to the arch aeologists and other wise men to get busy and tell us all about it.
 There is more in this alleged find than might be supposed until one re- fleets on 1t carefully. and certainly there's much for the students to look into. People will want to know what kind of fish they are, and if they are all of one variety. Then why were there so many of them in one place? Then it will need to be shown what great convulsion of nature sent the bottom ofethis sea or lake soaring up- wards five thousand feet above the sea- level, and how many thousands or mill Hons of years have elapsed since the fish were thus elevated and buried. and by what process they were finally con- verted into stone. All these are mat tsrs to be investigated and explained, if there is truth in the story. We would suggest that The Post be ap- pointed committee of one to inves- tigate but for the fact that the dis covery is not close by its city How ever, 1t Is in Texas, and that will help some.

SUNDAY. MARCH ls, ioos.


 New York papers are telling of tecent incident in that city that Illus trates the influence of social ties or associations at the expense of justice. It seems that William K. Vanderbilt was arrested by policeman for over speeding and brought up before Magis- trate Frederick Kernoehan on the shafee of violating the speed limit, When brought before the magistrate, Vanderbilt called out, How are you, FrAddaegs and the other promptly re- spended. eGood morning. ,wlli." Then. although the policemen swore that twin" was speeding. at rapid pace, and that he had to chase him two or three blocks before he could catch him. the case was dismissed on Vanderbilt's statement that he was polxing along at a speed of not more than seven or eight miles an hour It must have been an "easy" policeman who thought his oath would stand against the word Of Vanderbilt. but he probably knows it now. The explanation of the proceeding is that Vanderbilt and Kernochan belong to the same fash ienabIS set. and justice was not in the game.

POLITICAL STRAWS Pointers ind eating Way ths Winds Are Drifting

It is proposed to take the question of revision of the tariff out of the Pres idential campaign to great extent by anticipating in practical form the Re- publican Party pledge. Another ac- standpatters to submit gracefully is connected with the agitation in favor of a permanent tarin commission. <
 Some interesting figures have just been supplied by the Treasury Depart ment at the request of Chairman Taw- ney of the House Appropriations Com mtttec. Mir. Tawney desired positive Knowledge regarding customs revenue, so as to gauge the appropriations that are to Do made by the present Con- gress. Following the financial panic, as is well known there was a great falling off In revenue from imports.
 It transpires, however, that while the cash receipts showed great de- crease, the conditions are now picking up wonderfully. with respect. to im- ports in warehouses on which duties are due. Jt is shown that on the last day of February of this year the du- ties on goods in warehouses at the twelve principal ports were $5,000,0 900 greater than on the last day of Febru- ary d year ago, and only s2,00o,000 un- der the duties due December 1 last just before the slump started.
