Bird S. Coler, resident of the Bor.
ough of Brooklyn. announces himself
as the Democratic candidate agains
Gov. Hughes. This will make an
interesting race, for Coler is a man OF
ability. 1t is said that the book makers
and other gamblers around New York
are raising a purse of 100000 to de,
feat Hughes and anti-betting legisla-
ton. If ever there was tainted money
it is this, and here is chance for pub
licity that should be strenuously in
sisted upon. Certainly Mr. Bryan will
not allow anyone to run on the same
ticket with him having the campaign
fund raised by such fragrant enemies OF
public morals as the gamblers.

The West Virginia Democrats are in
funny predicament. The West Vir-
gina Republicans are disturbed by in
testinal troubles and the Democrats
think they see an opportunity to recov-
or the State. There is a considerab BILE
negro vote in West Virginia, and it was
hoped to use the Brownsville incident
to carry the negroes over to the De-
mocracy When the Democratic Con-
vention met however. two planks were
presented for insertion into the plat
form, one of which called earnestly for
the Acknowledgement of the negroes,
and the other for the establishment of
Jim Crow cars on the railroads. The
planks were fought from the moment
of their introduction by those who
hoped to capture the negro vote, and
the opposition was strong enough to
compel the return of the resolutions to
the Committee for further considera-
ton. The Committee proved obdurate
however, and the planks went in, and
with them disappeared all hopes of
capturing the negro vote. The West
Virginia Platform will, in consequence.
make an interesting campaign docu-
iment for the Republicans to circulate.

SLAVERY.

1t will surprise most people that the
census showed II slaves in Vermont as
late as 1860. There were JIG, according
to the census of 1890. This has been
discovered to be an error in the manu-
script entries which should have been
under the head of Free Colored." Mas
sachusetts and Maine are the only New
England States in which the censuses
show no slaves. The Supreme Court OF
Massachusetts, decided that slavery had
been abolished in the State by the adop-
ton of the Constitution of 1880, and
Maine was then part of Massachusetts,.

A pRss1x,srrc LEADER.

PresideneM of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners is hopelessly pessimis-
tic. He seeB no chance for the laboring
man under BUR system of Government,
and he is particularly severe upon the
Supreme Court .nwhich. he says. will
nullify anS1awsi that we may put on
the statute books protecting labor.
This sortHpf talk is as unwise as 1t Is
dangerous. 1t Batrays a shallow mind
and one uracquainted with the funda-
mental facts of history. Our system of
Government undoubtedly has Its grave
defects and is capable of much .emenda-
ton. but all human history concurs in
most impressive manner that such radi-
cal reformers as Mr.. Meyer. who would
sweep away an old-established fabric
and replace it by some invention of
their brain have been the greatest curse
to mankind. The French Revolution
was striking illustration of this. There
were scores of men like Mr.. Meyer, who
had conceived some plan of government
to substitute for the old, and which they
succeeded in impressing upon the people
after much bloodshed. This was fol-
lowed by other sanguinary occurrences,
and then somebody else's plan was
adopted with the same result. In the
end the French people came back, as
people always do, to the laws and sys-
tenn of government to which they had
been accustomed and which they re-
adopted with notifications curing the
abuses complained of. Our Govern
ment is not merely the creation of our
forefathers in 1887, but it is the devel-
opment of the races tendencies for 1000
years. The remarkable progress of the
Englsh-speaking races in civil liberty
and broad justice has been due to the
fact that the race has never been radi-
cal and revolutionary. 1t has builded
slowly, taking step after step, as expert
ence indicated. Tennyson has well ex-
pressed this sententiously: .al
"A land of old and just renown;
land of settled government:
Where Freedom slowly broadens down
From precedent to precedent"
If Mr.. Meyer were given full authori-
ty to frame new Government for the
United States, it would unquestionably
be as great calamity to the people as
the experiments of the French reform
ers, who tried one after another with
such sanguinary results. His duty as
an American citizen, and. still higher,
his duty as the leader of other American
citizens, is to follow in the footsteps of
greater and wiser men than he, who
have developed our Government to be
the foremost in the world in its justice
and the equality of all its citizens OUR
forefathers. who were led by Washing
ton, did not for a moment attempt to
destroy the Government which they had
received Trom England and against
which power they had rebelled.> They
kept the main fabric of that Govern
ment apd altered and improved it tol
suit their enlarged ideas as to what a
Government should be. Instead Of de-
claiming in this Anarchistic tone against
the Government as whole. Mr.. Meyer
should concentrate attention upon any
feature which he feels is particularly
wrongful. and If he can succeed in con-
vincing the majority of his fellow-citi- |
zens that his complaints are just the
remedy will be sure and certain.
