Mr.. Farmer is to be highly compli-
mented for the excellent work he has
done in the affairs of his once, III
though trying at times has been inn
partial and fair and no one has any
just cause for complaint. He has
done more, it is said at. National
Headquarters, to nationalize the work
and to bring about the almost unani-
nous support Of the Negro vote to the
republican ticket than has ever been
done before.
For the first time in the history Of
the Republican National Committee
the western headquarters, through, Mr..
Farmer has given recognition to the
ColOred newspapers. These agencies
have done much toward educating it's
readers up to their responsibility in
the election that has Just passed
We feel assured thai through his
efforts the Negro vote shares an i'm
Iortant part in the great victory the
Republican Party has just achieved"
NJ. Farmer when seen at his ONCE

OF the election on the race question

important so far as the race is con-
cerned, that has taken place in the

the results Of this election Of the

way the Negro voted last Tuesday
demonstrated his remarkable ability
at recovering his good judgement.

people, of which the Rev. Father John
E. Burke is the director general.
Ie represents an effort to reach the
Negroes through industrial education,
and the effort is being made to found
institutions on the plan Of the schools
conducted by Booker T. Washington
and others. The work is now in
formative state, but It Is expected
that missionaries and members OF
various religious orders win go to the
south shortly.
Although there are Negro Catholics
below Mason and Dixon line, the
Methodist and Baptists have been
most aggressive In making dark skin
ned converts. The field Is practically
new to the Catholics.
This missionary endeavor has the
sanction Of the pope. and the board
which directs it consists Of some Of
the most distinguished prelates Of the
American hierarchy. The members
of the mission board are Cardinal Glib
bons, Archbfshop Ryan Of Philadel-
phia; Archbishop Bienk q New Or

Bishop Allen Of Mobile, and Bishop

We have retained the friendship OF
those who have been with US for
years. and have gained the admi-a-

The result Of the election in the
states Of W. Virginia, Maryland and
Missouri is another evidence Of the
triumph of justice and fair play. In
these states the campaign was waged
upon the issue Of Acknowledgement
and Jim Crow" cars, and 1t is pleasing
indeed TO know that a majority of the
good people Of these states have de-
clared themselves opposed to any
such injustice and unfair legislation.

DENEEN-AN OBITUARY.

Charles s. Deneen has been re-elect-
ed governor Of Illinois, not By the
wish Of the people. but by a powerful
political machine which he built up
at the expense Of emcient admins
tration, and fostered despite the scan
dalous lltreatment Of unfortunate
public wards in Institutions supported
by public money.
-Four years ago he ran 1884 votes
ahead Of Theodore Roosevelt in Hin
OILS. According to present returns he
ran 10000 behind Judge Taft.
The small margin by which he has
been returned marks the end Of NJ.
Deneen's career in Illinois politics.
The republicans win never dare put
his name on their ticket again. At
any normal election Mr.. Deneep would
drag down to defeat every man who
ran with him. In an on year he would
have been beaten by $4,000 to $4,000
votes.
Thus, in humiliation and disgrace
ends tn political career Of Charles
S. Deneen. He is an unlovely person,
selfish, stingy, utterly contemplate.
Endowed with only the ability az a
curbstpne horsetrader, he has swapped
Offices for delegates, traded payroll
patronage for votes, and always,
looked out for himself and his sordid
interests.
To Deneen a public once opened
no avenue of usewulness to the peo-
pie. The thought Of rendering some
service to the state never penetrated
his dun brain during the long period
Of his ofaceholding. EEen his best
friends are unable now to point to
one act Of his Official career that re-
veals q desire to do something for the
peOple-to do anything. In fact, but
build up an ofheehoiding trust and
grab all the fees in sight.
Those who do not know Mr.. Deneen
may suppose that the terrible rebuke
administered to him yesterday win be
lesson, and that he win now set him
self to better conditions In public In
stitutions, improve the various DE-
pGrtments, economic public money,
and lesson taxation.
But al such, alas, are destined 10
disappointment The spots OF that
leopard can never be changed. Mr..
Dsneen can no more cure his itching
pain than he can make himself six
inclles taller. He win 60 on 70 the
end o. his days oblIvious to an the

The plurality Of Taft in tie state is
from $1,000 to 10000, while that Of

these figures, however, may be
changed by later returns, although the
general fact Of HarmOn's victory
Is settled.
