is no doubt of what the people will do
TO the thing if only they realize what it
is.
The Democratic machine politicians
are not bit concerned about the vic
ious and illiterate negro vote. They
didn' seem bit concerned about it
ten years ago when they were construct
ing the platform on which John Walter
Smith ran for Governor. That plat
form, YOU may remember, expressly
promised to disturb none of the existing
rights Of the colored race They didn't
seem to think that those rights were
any menace to our political affairs at
that time. Why should they think SO
now, when the colored vote Is about
per cent. t. s per cent. smaller than it
was at that time? They do not think
So This whole appeal to race prejudice
is simply piece of rank political hypoc-

are after Its the machinery of cleo
tions
The Democrats have been reading
the signs Of the times. They have dis
cerned the growing spirit Of indepen-
dency in political contests. They are
noting with alarm the revolt in their
own ranks against their indefensible
regime. They must make sure of a
strangle hold on future elections, and
this proposed amendment is calculated
to furnish it. Write that amendment
into the Constitution of the state and
you sign the death warrant of any pos
sible deliverance from the Democratic
machine, which is ruthlessly bent on
maintaining its control of our political
destines. How is such a possible con-
dition to be contemplated without pro-
test? Have these gentlemen justified
their claim to permanency of political
power? We challenge their record on
that score. Our state platform chal-
lenged it. They declined the challenge.
They said the platform abused the
Democratic administration. w ell.
what did they expect US to do? Com
pliment it and crown it with garlands?
If our platform did their administration
injustice, why don't they refute and
confound our deliverances? |, for one,
don't care much about what happened
a half century ago in the know moth
ing days about which Comptroller Her
ing spends his time in talking. We are
living in the present. We have asked
some very pointed and proper questions
about the integrity and efficiency of our
public officials of today And as citi-
zens and taxpayers we have a right to
some better answer than barking back
to the distant past.

The State Department has received in
formation that Peru has served an ulti-
matum on Bolivia concerning the accept
anee Of the awards made by the Presi-

in the arbitration is very distastefuI 10
many Bolivians, and there is a strong
organization in that country violently
opposed TO its acceptance.
1t has been understood here that Presi-
dent Villazon, who took office at La Paz
last week, is in favor Of peace and con-
ciliation, and for that reason it is thought
likely that some adjustment will be
reached. But II Is further believed that

The final report of the English royal
commission on whisky has just been pro-

II sustains the contentious Of the rec

same body. issued a year ago. given 70

The report Of the British commission,
which was received in Washington yes
terday, upsets Dr. Wileys definition not
only as to what whisky is as q univer-
sal proposition. but also differs radically
with the food chemists definitions Of
Scotch and Irish whisky.

In court The Department OF Agriculture

sion OF the matter in all its aspects by
the royal commission in England.
II is more than probable that President

consider at great length the decision in
England. The British commission was
made up Of eight members. headed by
Lord James Of Hereford, one OF the
most noted lawyers in England. and IN

the commission fills two volumes.

It was stated to-day by representatives

MUST COME DIRECT.
Philippine Goods VIII Not BE Ad.
mitted Free II TransShIpped.

Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury
Reynolds to-day made a ruling that ship
ments OF goods from the Philippines to
the United States must be direct and in
bond, in order to get the benefit OF the
free admission to ports Of the United
States
Goods transshipped at Hongkong or
other Asiatic ports will not be admitted
free. The effect OF the ruling will be
10 build UP a strong line Of direct oceanic
traffic between the Pacific Coast and
Manila, and, in time, Il is believed. will
build up Manila as an important port.
II will probably retard the business OF
the steamers which have heretofore piled

Ing goods from the Philippines for trans
shipment from the Asiatic port Of con-
signment TO the United States.
II has been decided also 10 require a
certificate Of origin with goods from the
Philippines. except tobacco. cigars. and
cigarettes. These exceptions win not be
admitted free Of duty when sent bv

practice Of army officers and other
