Election Is Over.
Douglas Island News.) )

From the tone of of the editorials in Re- publican papers since the election, it would that the Republicans-sOmc of thenl-are poor winners the Democrats good losers.
 With the pens dipped in vitriol, some editors have forgotten that the election is and that are all good American citizens, working for what be- lieve is the best interest of the Territory and the Nation They want to still irritate open wound, stir up ill feelings and harbor grudges
 When the election returns in and it was found the Republican party in power, are sure that this paper and all other Democratic news papers that know anything about promptly dis missed the election from thought. As far they were concerned, the chapter closed. The people had spoken, and in America the people rule. Their verdict accepted. Whether not the people right is another matter.
 Why the hecklng continues is a mystery known only to those who responsible for it. It is just childish stories have heard veterans from the North and South of the Civil War still coming to blows over the Battle of Bull Run

CURRENT AND OTHERWISE

(By Associated Negro Press)
In a letter to Senator Beverly John
son, dated April IA, 1865, ex-President
Miliard Fillmore expresses a profound
apprehension that a dreadful race
problem" was pending. What is to
be done with the 100000 of ignor-
ant, helpless blacks?" he asked. 81
suppose a large portion of them are
wholly incapable of providing for
themselves, and too indolent, with
out compulsion to make the effort
Are they to fill our poor houses as
paupers or our penitentiaries as Grim
inals?" All of which goes to show that
Mr.. Fillmore was woefully ignorant of
the Africans character even as a
slave. But aside from that fact his
letter proves that he was almost Grim
inally ignorant of the impelling eco
nomic forces which had been at work
in the person of the slave-making
it possible for the American expert
ment to get on it's social and economic
feet. 1t is true that considerable
number among us are too lazy to
work; and it is also true that too
many of us help fill the penitentiaries.
But the general charge that we are
indolent and criminal is stated with
out a due regard for the very import
ant economic, social and industrial
parts we have played in the life of
the republic. Any how, we can con-
sole ourselves with the fact that ig-
norance knows no color and appar-
emily, has a rather deep rooted con-
tempt for races.
