THE coNauEnING cnoTHERs.

"A meeting of the Alumni Association
of the West Nottingham Institution
Cecil County. was held at the state
House in Annapolis last Friday night,
the members being guests of Governor
Crothers, of Maryland. The Sunpaper
says that this is "a movement which
it is hoped by his friends will ultt-
mateIy land Governor Crothers in the
Presidency OF the United States" This
view seems to have been held by Dr.
j. NJ. II. Rowland, "a member of the
Association, who acted as POSTMASTER,
and who drought up the subject when
he said he hoped that in the near
future the members would he enter

There was some talk at the dinner
about other Presidential availabilities.

It was only talk, as governor Croth-

| New York Times.
In the coursc or his remarks, Row
ever, stInson did some plain talking
about his race, and told the New York
negroes what he thought of them and
OF their progress. He characterized
tile negroes of the North as whining
people, and he wound up with these
simple truths:
Members OF our race in the North
have opportunities to train themselves
that those of the south have not, and
they get better prices for their labor,
yet am not boasting when | tell
You that our people in the South are
outstripping you here 1T Is not be"
cause YOU have not the chance. 1t is
because your false pride and ambition
are IN advance Of your better juds-
inent."
siinson's hearers probably did not
relish his rebuke; but we arc glad that
Southern negro had the COM
mon sense and tho courage to
tell the New York negroes what they
have been needing to know for u
long time.
The negro in the North has been
more or less of a "professional" since
the days William Lloyd Garrison
canonized every black skin from tho
summit of Beacon Hill. They feel,
or pretend to feel, that they are due
special privileges in the house of their
friends, ana they think because they
are negroes that the North should
withhold no good gift from them. They
are waking from their dream as fast
as the people of the North are willing
to open their eyes from the abolition
slumber and to arouse their sleeping
bered and slept. the negroes of the
South. as Stinson says. have left their
Northern brethren in the rear
The discipline to which the negroes
of The South have been subjected has
been their salvation during all the
years since they were given their free
dom. When they came from slavery
the negroes went to extremes. Their
liberty was their undoing, and the
privileges they enjoyed all but ruined

rule. the negroes have gone to work,
in Virginia a least and have kept in
their place Restrained by the good
sense of the whites and by the good
counsel OF many of their own leaders.
they have moved forward slowly bu,
surely.
stinson told the New York negroes
that they had better opportunities in
the North than they enjoyed in the
South. This may be true. wages are
certainly higher. advantages are per-
haps greater; but for all of this the
negroes are fast losing their love for
the North The best men among them
are realizing that the south is tho
natural home of tho negro and that
the Southern man is the best friend
of the negro. 1t is not desirable that
all of the blacks could realize these
facts, especially as the South is
anxious to let the North have all the
negroes It wants, but it is refreshing
TO see that the negro is coming 10
himself and is learning where his own
hope lies.

been so shocked and the public con-
science so outraged as by this insolent
and unscrupulous use OF power By NJ.

how few murderers ex-
plate their crimes in free America. and
TO citizens who believe as l do, that

appears that abolition of the executive

The authority 10 convict of crime and

after the Supreme Court Of a sovereign
State has confirmed the action of It's

notoriously crooked political upstart.
In the days of the ancients many a
man of powerful social and political

COMING INTO IIs OWN.
John Redmond, patriotic leader ot
'he IRISH Nationalists in the British
House of Commons, has come to terms
with Premier Asquith. He announced
IN the House yesterday that his party
had held a caucus and had decided
mat 1t would support Asquith to the
end In his demand for the passage OF
the Lloyd-George budget. When Mr..
Asduiti wants the Irish vote, he has
only to call for 1t.
This is victory for Asquith. With
out It, his control of the situation was
uncertain and his ability to hold his
majority was in grave doubt: but with
1t, the Premier may be able to carry
through his programme TO the letter.
The Lords must go; the budget must
be enacted, and England, for few
months at least, must submit to the
most radical rule 1t has ever seen.
Redmonds decision, however. means
victory for Redmond as well as for
Asquitll. The Irish leader held the
situation In the hollow of his hand
and he knew It, He had only to say
the word, and Asquith's majority
woAd be lost. He had only 10 throw
the irish vote, on a single measure,
with the unionists, and the Cabinet
would have TO resign. In the circum-
stances, it is safe to say that Red
mond put high price on his power
and got it.
Beyond question the price which
Asquith paid was a home-rue bill
Redmond was fighting for this above
all else, and he wanted this even more
than ho wanted tho overthrow of the
Lords He had nothing else to ask,
and he would accept noting else. AS
quith had to pay or surrender.
This means thatthe home-rule ques-
ton Will be the third issue to come up
before Parliament and viii probably
be taken up as soon as the budget Is
passed and the wings of hedging
Lords are clipped. A home-rule bin
will be introduced, as part of the
Government programme, and will be
given the support of the Liberals.
If the bill be passed, 1T Will be the
most belated bit of Justice in the his
tory of England. Ireland deserves
home-rule to-day. parliament of Its
own, a local government, and such au-
tonomy. at least. as that enjoyed
by Canada or by Australasia. Ire
land has deserved this since the days
of the Boyne, and England's refusal
to grant it has been the greatest dis
grace of the Empires history. Be-
sides It, the opium War and the South
African brigondage seem as trihing
wrongs.
The only question viii he whether
or not Mr.. Asauith can do his part.
The English have always been afraid
of Irish home-rule and they have
ballted at every bill introduced to that
end. Gladstone went out of Office be-
cause he could not hold his majority
in favor of home-rule, even when he
had carried through every other meas
ure advocated by his party. Other
premiers, strongly entrenched in the
House. have seen their majorities
dwindle and their influence. lessen
from the day they broached home-rule.
IL Asquith can carry his party for
home-rule, he will not only pay ma
tional debt but he will have shown
his ability as great statesman and
great patriot

In thirty-eisht months Governor
pardons to criminals convicted in the
courts OF that state, an average OF
nearly six pardons the week. He has
SGT l65 murderers free; he has cX-
tended the executive clemency TO 1903
Illicit liquor dealers; he has turned
loose upon tho community rs persons
convicted OF carrying concealed dead
~ weapons; he has delivered from
prison 10 thieves, and has pardoned
402 criminals convicted OF minor mis-
demeanors. In the exercise of his
executive authority he has undone The
work of 162 judges and 1924 jurors
who served in the trial of cases for
murder. This is a fearful record-the
worst we have ever known. except
possibly during the Reconstruction
days. when pardons were sold in job
lots by at least one of the Governors
in that dark and hopeless period.
