White of Louisiana in connection with the
chief justiceship of the United States

an admirable one from every point of

cavil that the president ignores political

DEMOCRACY AND THE DARKEY.

DEMOCRACY AND THE DARKEY.
1t is interesting to note multiplying
signs OF the tendency of the negro voters
of the country to divide their political al
legiance between the two great parties.
And it is still more interesting to note
that Democratic leaders and organiza-
tons, even in states heretofore classed
with the solid south. are not only willing,
but ready and anxious, to accept and
seek the utilization of the "colored
brotl1er" as means of strengthening
them selves and winning victories at the
polls.
In rock-ribbed Democratic Tennessee,
for instance, the regular Democrats, who
supported Gov. Patterson up to the time
of his withdrawal and are now in line for
Senator Bob Taylor for governor, have
! been openly encouraging the negroes of
the state to register III the hope that the
black vote may be secured for the Demo-
cratic ticket and Offset the wholesale de-
lection of Independent Democrats bent
upon smashing the dominant political
machine built up under the Patterson
regime.
At the opening meeting of the Demo-
cratic campaign in the st. Louis Coliseum
Tuesday evening, Oct IS, at which two
Democratic congressman were the prin-
cipal speakers, A large delegation of ne
groes, who shouted for Tom Kinney and
Pat Gill, congressional nominees in the
twelfth and eleventh districts, caused
much enthusiasm So says the Post
Dispatch, and the other ST. Louis papers
describe the incident similarly
Il the result of the enlistment of a CON
siderable proportion Of the negro voters
under the Democratic banner will be to

and take from Democratic partisans the
last vestige of justification for denouncine

RAISING THE MAINE

At last it looks as if the wreck of the
Maine in the harbor of Havana will be
raised The president has directed that
the work be completed by Feb. Is, 1911,
and preliminary investigations into the
condition of the wreck and the character
of its resting place are already being
made. Spain has been invited to send a
representative to watch the proceeding,
but whether she viii do so or not has not
/ yet been learned.
That any definite information will be
obtained as to the origin or cause Of the
explosion which wrecked the ship is
probably too much to expect. 1t is al
most certain that no adequate deductions
can be drawn from the condition of the
hull to warrant conclusion that the orig
inal explosion was either internal or ex-
ternal. After the wreck of the Maine, and
partly by reason of it, the British govern
ment caused a series of experiments to
be conducted under very similar condi-
tions, with the result that it was prae-
tically demonstrated that the effects of
both internal and external explosions were
SO nearly the same in the bending and
twisting of the plates and frames that
such data furnished very misleading
and deceptive basis for any conclusion
whatever. 1t was found that with an in
ternal explosion over mud bottom very
near the bottom Of the vessel the reaction
from the bottom into the partial vacuum
created by the upward blast was so i'm
mediate and SO violent that the plates
and frames were bent just as they would
have been if the explosion had been
originally external.
1t will be well. therefore, for any ex-
pressions of opinion to be very conserva-
tive and for the conclusions even of ex-
perts to be accepted with reserve. At
least. it is to be hoped that nothing cal
culated to wound the Spanish people. with
whom we are now at peace, viii be

Ten balloons, carrying two men each,
assembled at st. Louis on the 18th instant,
in an international contest for the Bennett
cup. Nine of the balloons descended safely
within one to five days after the begin
ming of the race at distances varying from
IT'S to 1900 miles from the starting point,
but the tenth-the America II, manned
by Alien R. Hawley and Augustus Post of
New York-was not heard from until the
18th, when an Associated Press despatch
brought the news that the mammoth air
craft had landed all right in the Wilds of

travelling 1850 miles. Up to the time of

without stopping across the Englsl
channel
This Is an unprecedented feat Louis
BIeriot and Count De Lesseps crossed
/ the channel from France to England
/ but never before has a continuous
flight between England and France
and return been made
Rolls reached the French coast in
splendid time He circled twice over
Sangatte Gins, near Calais and with.
out stopping his engine turned his
aeroplane back 10 the British shore.
The distance across the channel is
twenty-one miles, so Captain Rolls ac-
complished an over-water flight Of
forty-two miles. making a new record
for this particularly dangerous course
The weather was perfect The pro.
gTess Of the aviator was watched with
the aid Of glasses until he was within
two miles of the French coast. when
the aeroplane vanished from view.
After circling the cliffs of Sangatte.
Rolls headed straight to sea and made
the return at a rapid pace
Three torpedo boats which had been
strung across the channel in anticipa
tion of the flight started simultaneous
ly with the brd-man when he set out
for France but though the boats were /
driven at full speed they We're soon
overhauled and passed by the aviator |
The Englishman's aeroplane is a !
Wright machine, built in France. with I
an American Wright engine The .
plane has two seats giving accommo
dation for passenger.
BY making the return trip he wins
the ROuat prize of S2500
For two weeks or so Rolls has been
preparing for the double channel fight
and the iahabitants of the French
shore have been anxiously awaiting
the trial
Thousands Of the 10000 people OF
Calais went 10 the surrounding points
the fact that an Englishman was at
last going to attempt the feat twice
performed by Frenchmen attracting
wide attention
When Rolls left Dover he circled
around once after his machine lett the
