Ishpemlns Editor to Be Placed on
Trial for Libel on That Date
Error 10 Discovered.

Marquette, Mich. Nov. 23.-The
trial of George A. Newett, an editor Of
Ishpeming. charged with criminal H.
bel on complaint Of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt. will take place in the court
of Justice Samuel e. Bryne in this
city. The date fixed is November &c.
1t is not probably, however, that any
thing more than the arraignment Of
the defendant will be accomplished at
this time.
This new turn in the proceedings Is
a result Of an error In considering
criminal libel a misdemeanor under
the common law, whereas it is mere
ly the violation of an ordinance, the
maximum penalty for which is a fine
of 800 or Imprisonment for 80
days.

ton, representing nothing but their
own greed for money or Office, the ma
jority was overwhelmingly anti-pro-
gressive. Seven-eighths of the color
ed men from these rotten borough dis
tricts upheld by their votes the fraud
ulent actions of the men who in that
convention defied and betrayed the
will of the mass of the plain people of
the party.
1T would be not merely foolish, but
criminal to disregard the teachings of
such a lesson. The disruption and de-
struction OF the republican party, and
the fact that ii has been rendered abso-
lutely impotent as an instrument for
anything but mischief in the country at
large, has been brought about in large
part by the effort to pretend that in
the southern states 4 sham is a fact,
by the insistence upon treating the
ghost party in the southern states as
4 real party. by refusing to face the
truth, which is that under existing con-
ditions there is not and cannot be in
the southern states a party based pri-
maTily upon the negro vote and under
negro leadership or the leadership of
white men who derive their power sole
ly from negroes. With these As years

less to try to build up the progressive
party in these southern states where
there is no real republican party. by
appealing to the negroes or to the mer
who in the past have derived theiI
sole standing from leading and ma
nipulating the negroes.
! Il earnestly believe that by appeal
/ ing to the best white men in the
south, the men Of justice and of vision
as well as of strength and leadership
and by frankly putting the movement
in their hands from the ouset, we shat
create a situation by which the coloret
men of the south will ultimately ge
justice as il is not possible for then
TO get justice if We are to continue anc

The men to whom We appeal are the
men who have stood for securing tbs

personal knowledge, this is now being
done, and from some or all of these
states colored delegates will be sent
TO the national progressive convention
in Chicago.
In the republican and national con-
yentions the colored members have
been almost exclusively from the
south. and the great majority Of them
have been men of such character that
their political activities were mostly
source of harm, and of very grave
harm to their own race We, on the
contrary are hoping TO see in the ma
ticnal progressive convention colored
delegates from the very places where
we expect to develop our greatest
strength, and we hope TO see these
men of such character that their ac-
tivities shall be of benefit not only to
the people at large, but especially to
their own race.
For IS years the republican party
has striven TO build up in the south
ern states in question a party based
on the theory that the pyramid will,
unsupported, stand permanently on its
apex instead of on its base. For IL
years the republican party has endeav-
ored in these states TO build up a par
" in which the negro should be dom,
inGEt. a party consisting almost eXclu.
siyely Of negroes. Those who took the
lead in this experiment We're actuated
1 by high motives, and no one should
now blame them because of what, with
the knowledge they then had and I'M
der the then existing circumstances
they stroye TO do But in actual prac
tee the result has been lamentable
from every standpoint II has been
productive of evil 10 the colored men
. themselves: it has been productive
only of evil to the white men of the
south; and il has worked the graves'
injury TO, and finally the disruption
and destruction of, the great republican
party itself.
There has in the past been much
Venality in republican national con
ventions in which there was an active
contest for the nomination for presi
dent. fer the most part anons
. the negro delegates from these south
ern states. Finally, in the convention
at Chicago last June, the breakup o
the republican party was forced b!
those rotten borough delegates from
the south. In the primary states o
the north the coioFed men in mos
places voted substantially as thei
white neighbors voted But in tn
southern states, where there was nj
real republican party, and where col
