GhaZi Nukhtar Pasha. who resigned.
An imperial decree commands the
new Grand Vizier TO prosecute the
war with all energy.
Although all the changes In the
Cabinet have not yet been made. 1t Is
announced that Nazim Pasha VIII De
retained as Minister OF War ana
Noradungnian Pasha as Minister OF
Foreign Affairs Jemalledin Pasha
also will be retained as Sheik-Ci-ls-
lam.
The change in the Grand Nizlerate
is not expected materially TO inhu-
ence either the internal or externai
situation When Kiamil Pasha three
monhs ago accepted the presidency OF
the council he became the dominant
figure of the Cabinet. and it was iore-
seen that he would succeed TO the
Grand Vizierate at an opportone
moment. =.
The motives for the resignation OF
Mukhtar Pasha are not known. IL -
supposed he began to feel that TINS
responsibility for TIE crisis was Dur
densome, while the unfavorabie Reports
current with regard to the ili-success
of his sons operations against the
R,,Iparians doubtless caused him much
chagrin.
The retention OF Soradungntan
Pasha as Foreign Minister shows tna'
no startling innovations In the fofe'sn
policy are likely.

Bloomington, Ill. October 2s.-Adial
T.. Stevenson, Vice-President In Gro
yer Clevelands administration, to-
day replied to the recent statement OF
President Taft to the effect that the
tpanic Of 1898 was caused by the eIec-
ton of Cleveland. Mr.. Stevenson. In
0 statement. said:
The assertion Of the President that
Enthusiastically upon Cleveiand's cleo
ticn, capital and industry took alarm
and business was disOrganized Is. In
the light OF history. astounding. The
Mckinley tariff law was then In OPP
Grafton. and the Democratic victory
Q. 1898 was the emphatic protest of
the people against the injustice and OPP
preston OF that tariff.
The panic began long before the
Inauguration of Cleveland. and as
President Taft admits. two years be-
fore the enactment OF the Wilson
tariff.
The President says. the Wilson
bin was in sight above the horizon
the morning after the November cleo
zion Of 1892. and capital became
alarmed. etc. Strange indeed that the
people should suddenly become alarmed
on the morning after election at wha,
they had done after elaboration. ey
nearly & million votes the day before
i was the Mckinley tariff that was
in sight above the horizon on the
morning before election Of 1892 and
resulted In Cleveland receiving %,
electoral votes to l45 for Harrison.
The President will doubtless have
occasion to remember that it was the
Impressive, Ubiquitous Payne-Aldrich
law which he signed and declared tC
be the best tariff law. that was IN
sight above the horizon on the morn
ing OF November s. 1912. and not the
revision downward tariff law OF the

Rawlins, Wyo.-Crouched in an in
ner cell in the Wyoming penitentiary
listening to the angry cries of over
sixty convicts as they decreed his fate,
Frank Wigfall, negro, was a mo-
ment later dragged from his cell, a
rope was flipped in half-hitch around
his neck and he was tossed over the
third tier of the prison dollhouse to
death by hanging.
Wigfall, who was charged with at
tacking Mrs. Esther Higgins, seventy
three years old, was taken from the
city jail and confined in cell in the
penitentiary, in order to keep him
away from the mob of angry Rawlins
citizens, who had been making
threats of lynching.
The lynching is perhaps the first of
the kind in history. Never before, SO
far as known, has a group of con-
victs seized fellow-prisoner and
hanged him for crime.

Advices from Paris, France, state
that the idea of making up for the nu-
merical inferiority of the annual
French conscription contingent for the
army. as compared with that of Ger
many. by redrafting a corps of black
troops drawn from French West Africa
into the Continental forces has long
been broached. 1t will not meet with
acceptance yet awhile But every.
now and then the campaign in favor
OF the scheme Is pushed step for
ward. Thus, the governor of French
West Africa, having been asked by
the war office for 5000 black troops
for Morocco, cabled within forty eight
hours undertaking to supply the re-
quired contingent in six months time.
On the other hand, permanent force
of native troops is being organized In
the colony. whence reinforcements can
be drawn when wanted, lie Matin
takes these arrangements as a text
to argue in favor of the regular en-
ployment of black troops. BY the new
year France will have over 15, 900 men
of the latter under arms. BY 1914 the
force will fall little short of 10000.
That is the strength of an army corps,
and France will thus possess twenty
one, instead of twenty, army corps"
The Twenty-first Army Corps. II en-
ployed in time of war, must necessar-
lily be employed on the European Con-
tinent. Any scheme for drafting it
into Algeria, to enable the French
troops stationed there to be available
elsewhere, would arouse the Arab popu-
lation to revolt. VIII European opin-
ion ever stomach the employment of
black troops In European warfare?
Perhaps, II pressed by superior num-
bers, France would override European
opinion.

From a standpoint of interesting
clinics, instructive papers, attendance,
entertainment and enthusiasm, the
fourteenth annual season of the Ma
tional Medical association, held at
Tuskegee institute, was the most sue
cessful in the associations history.
One of the features of the session was
the daily clinics, 499 persons going TO
the institutes, hospital for medical and
surgical attention In four days.
The news that the leading colored
physicians and surgeons of the coun-
try would gather at Tuskegee in an
nual session and conduct daily clinics
led to one of the most extraordinary
scenes ever witnessed at far-famed
Tuskegee. For miles around negroes
who had been suffering with some af-
Fiction for months, and in some cases
years, hied themselves to the institute
to put themselves under the examina-
tion of doctors. The physicians were
deeply touched by the pathetic appeal
for medical aid, and quite often did
the patient leave the hospital greatly
benefited by his visit. Some crippled
and infirm walked from sixteen to
eighteen miles to Tuskegee institute
while others drove a distance of thirty
miles. Nashville was chosen as the
next place of meeting and DR.. ]. A.
Kenney of Tuskegee institute, was
elected president at the annual cleo

Some time ago the question of put
ting negro policemen on the force was
mooted. There was much diversity OF
opinion wherever discussed. There
are those who believe that a colored
officer might get killed, and they are
very solicitous as to his welfare. They
have a perfect horror at the thought
OF an officer being killed If he be OF
African descent, but they have little
or no concern about colored man be-
ing shot to death in citizens clothes.
There are those who think that a
colored policeman should not arrest
any one except colored people: while
there are still others who think that
being a policeman is white mans
job. None of these elements will ever
do much toward restoring law and or
der in Dallas, where we have muir
der every time we have a week. Those
charged with the responsibility of
gaining a good name for Dallas and
preserving the same must rise above
these petty notions and adopt meas
ures and select men to carry those
measures into effect without for a mo-
ment stopping to consider the question
OF the color or race of the man.
The Dallas Express wants to see ne
groes on the police force. We believe
it will create better feeling. The
colored officer will necessarily spend
much of his time with negroes. The
better element of negroes will feel
freer to help him hunt down a Grim

man. In other words, the city is en-
titled to the experiment. Let us try it.
If it does no good we can stop it be-
fore it does much harm.-Dallas
