Fight for COllectOrShinS.

Darling and Emery.


News comes from Washington that
members of the Vermont delegation are
very much interested in the question
whether Collectors of Customs Charles
H. Darling of Burlington and Curtis S.
Emery of Newport will be reappoint-
ed upon the expiration of their first
term, Jan. L. This question has been
raised in Vermont, presumably in the
interest of oth,r prospective candidates.
The matter is now under consideration
by the delegation and will probably not
be decided until after the holidays.
Meanwhile the congressman, returning
home, will have opportunity to ascertain
the sentiment of their constituents and
neighbors. The delegation is thought to
be divided on the matter at present.
The two Vermont collectorships are
among the most desirable federal offices
in New England. They are said to pay
from $4,000 to $4,000 in salary and
fees each. Hence the question arises
whether a four-year tenure of Office is
not sufficient.
In old days the Vermont collectorship
at that time there was only one-paid
from $4,000 to $4,000 year and the
practice for many years was to let a
man hold the place during good be-
havior. During the Mckinley admins
tration the state was divided into two
customs districts, and since President
Cleveland's retirement the practice has
been to permit the collector to remain in

RACE WAR IMMINENT
UNDER PRESENT LAWS
Crisis Expected During the Week.
Danger to National Peace is Bring
ing the West to Side With the Solid
South.

Washington, Feb. S.-Senator New
lands, of Nevada, in statement last
night, asserted there should be broad
national legislation covering the
whole Japanese question.
"The legislation proposed by the
Pacific Coast States intended to meet
certain phases of what constitutes a
national peril, has been opposed by
the President as involving violation
of our treaty with Japan and inn
periling her friendship" said SEN
ator Newlands. while the Western
States will in all probability patriot
ically yield to such suggestion, there
is danger that their abandonment of
such Legislation may be misunder-
stood by the Eastern States, whose
economic and social dangers attend
ant upon Asiatic immigration, and
that they may think that we ac-
quiesce in the view that a great
question of national and domestic
policy should be turned over to the
negotiation of diplomats. No ques-
tion involving such important con-
siderations as race homogeneity and
domestic industrial peace can safely
be turned over to diplomacy.
There should be
BROAD NATIONAL LEGISLATION
covering the whole question, and thus
necessarily covering the parts of the
question which State legislation in
the West seeks to cover"
Continuing, the Senator stated that
the Nevada Legislature should, in
his judgement, as a substitute for all
pending measures, adopt resolutions
making the following declarations:
THAT the race question is now the
most important question confronting
the nation, that already we have
drifted, regarding the black race, in
to a condition which seriously sug-
gests the withdrawal of the political
rights heretofore mistakenly granted
the inauguration Of humane
national policy which, with the Co
operation and aid of the Southern
States shall recognize that the blacks
are a race of children, requiring
guidance, industrial training and the
development of self-control and other
measures Intended to reduce the dan
ger of the race complication former

attempt at mob violence.
Excitement in the community is still
high, however, and the sheriff is keep
ing in constant touch with the COVER
nor. In the event it becomes apparent
that a lynching is in prospect, troops
will be hurried to the scene.
Governor Noel was advised that
mob violence could be prevented If a

graphed to Judge Sykes advising him
