THS IEGBO A8 AH ISSUE
It i« very likely, eaye the Colum
bus Enquirer-bun, that the race
question will be a very lively ieeue
in the next national camp sign.
President R >oeevelt has done more
to bring this question prominently
before the people than any other
president ever has done. Tbo
Booker Washington dinner at the
White House, the Crum appoint
ment at Charleston, the Indianola
postoffice affair and numerous other
incidents for which he and his ad
ministration are directly responsi
ble have, in fact, already made the
issue a very grave one, and if it
does not jet into tbe next campaign
it will be a great surprise to many
of tbe best posted politicians of the
country. In fact, the Maryland
Democrats have already made it an
issue in their State campaign.
In their recent State convention
the Maryland Democrats declared
that they regarded the Maryland
government as a white man’s gov
ernment and that it should remain
so. “This,"very correctly says
tbe Mobile Register, "is putting the
question to every man in the ooun
-ry: If not white, what?” This
is a question that every white man
in the land should and must an
swer for Limself. At present this is
practically a white man’s govern
ment in every section of the Unind
States. It is true that the Presi
dent has appointed a tew negroes to
federal offloe, but nowhere does the
custom obtain of electing negroes to
oll’ca. The issue that the Maryland
Democrats would make is, Shall
this state of affairs c mtmueor shall
we have a mixed government—a
government in which the offices are
distributed among the whites and
the negroes alike? And to put the
matter to the test, the Mrrylind
Democrats have unequivocally de
clared that the government of their
SUta shall remain a white man’s
government, and they will make
the fight along this line.
A Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Bun says this action
on tbepart of the Marylanders has
Oiused serious thought among high
Republican officials in that city.
The correspondent rays the opinion
is expressed in Washington that
other Democratic conventions, to be
held either this or n?xt year, will
follow the iximpleset by the Mary
land convention ; that it has been
apparent for some time that the race
issue is to be an important one tn
ihenvxt national campaign, and
that the action of the Maryland
convention is regarded as empba
* its importance. Tbe corres
pondent goes on to say that fol
lowing the declaration of the Mary
land ecu vention will or mo The fight
in congress next winter. Demo
cratic leaders have asserted recent
ly that tbe Republicans must be
broug' ’• out on this issue. The case
is to I put plainly. The question
to be ; tto Republicans upon both
floors of Congress will be : Da you
intend to stand by the President’s
policy on this subject, or do you
purpose to repudiate it ? There cun
bo no avoidance of the issue.
The correspondent of the Balti
more paper is responible for the as
sertion that the Republicans are in
n quandary. They are afraid of the
issue, and have, time and again,
within the past four years, endeav
ored to avoid it. In view of the ac
tion of the Maryland Democrats the
prediction is freely made, says this
correspondent, by leading members
of the party in Washington, that
the i>atiom»l convention will follow
the lead of the Maryland conven
tion, and no doubt is expressed by
the leaders that the party at large
will adopt a similar declaration.
RAIBIBGTHEQUE3IIOI OF SANITY
There ia considerable discussion
over the fact that the plutocratic
press of the country is especially en
amored cf the remark made by Gov.
Durbin, of Indiana, the other day,
that, “tho man who violently as
sails, by woid or deed, tho laws of
the country such as ours commits a
crime not only of infamy but of in
sanity.”
The opinion exists that the above
comes with rather poor grace from
Gov. Durbin, who has refused to
honor the requisition of the S.ate or
Kentucky for one of the m?n accus
ed of the mmuer of Gov. Goebel,
when the law and ths constitution
» iquires the perpetrators of s uch
crimes to he delivered up to justice.
Is he hardly a fit man to read lec
tures on what is right and wrong?
It is admitted that to violently as
sail a law that is robbing the people
ot the United States, such as the
Dii gley tariff law, i« a crime to ths
trust magnates who profit by it.
To denounce tbe laws in several
states that tax the small home and
tbe little personal property of tbe
poor man on its full value, and let
the corporations and the million
aiiesoff with only paying 20or 30 per
cent , is insanity according to Han
na and the Republican leaders in
Ohio. To all such tbe law of their
own making is too sacred to be tam
pered with, and Gov. Durbin only
echoes the cry of the trustsand cor
porations, who in most oases, have
paid for the nur'ghteous laws they
hold go sicred The mo-t of tbe
laws passed recently have been
passed by Republic ins,and the shoe
is beginning to piuch when the peo
pie are crying out- egainst them, and
hence the howl by tbe governor of
Indiana, who sta ids for everything
the trusts demand If the p iople of
Indiana like that soit of thii g and
that sort ->f governor, they may
continue to worship their own fet
ish, and the thinking people of this
country will draw their own con
clusions concerning the mental
condition of Indiana’s population.
The Augusta Herald says that if
Mr. Roosevelt comes South, he had
better net bring his revolver-form ap
pendix with him.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun suggests
that possibly the “full hip pocket" may
supplant (he Republican campaign slo
gan of “ full dinner pail" and “full ba
by carriage.’’

It is to appear that the

A Northern newspaper expresses
some surprise t hat the Hon. Leonidas
Livingston should declare for Gorman
one week and for Hearst the next.

Uncle Lon, says Tom Loyless.
Augusta Chronicle : "Somebody has
started tha rumor that the Hon. Aleck
Atkinson, the ’preacher-politician of
Butts county, is thinking of running
for commissioner of agriculture against
the Hon. O B. Stevens. On otherjirt>-
ject*, it is *sid, he appear* perfectly
sane.”
The way the Democrats are getting
together in New York City is a presage
of certain victory. The Greater New
York Democracy, led by John O. Shee
han, and the roost formidable revolt in
Democratic ranks against Tammany,
has just endosed the entire Tammany
ticket.
This interesting inquiry and compli
ment is from the Darien Gazette:
“ What is the matter with Hon . Martin
V. Calvin, of Richmond, for speaker of
the next house of representatives? He
is certainly deserving of promotion it
ever a man was. Martin Calvin is a
public benefactor."
Some papers are so insistent as to
think that Atlanta schemes should be
carried out. They are asking about
that Greater Georgia edition of Har
per’s Weekly, and also inquiring as to
what has become of that million dollar
university for which subscriptions
were so freely raised about a year ago.
What has become of that story Edi
tor Bion Williams was to write for the
Georgia Press Association—“ The
Great Northwest; as Seen from a
Pullman Car—Between Deals?” asks
the Augusta Chronicle. The title is
an interesting one, although we do not
understand all the terms of it. and Mr.
Williams has no right to defraud his
contemporaries of such a literary treat
as it promises.
"We judge from the published report
of what was done and said at yesterday
morning's meeting of the Evangelical
Ministers' Association of Atlanta that
the ministers were unanimously of tbe
opinion tnat the devil was loose in the
town and that he was playing the mis
chief generally,” opines the Albany
Herat. This is merely another way of
drawing you upto the Inter-State Fair.
Atlanta’s not so bad; she’s just cute.

Major Stoffar, of Washington, D; C.,
Virginian, journalist and raconteur, is
very fond of children, and recently at
Cape May he made friends with a
bright boy of about ten years. One
day when the boy joined the Major on
the beach he had with him two little
girls.
"And who are the pretty little
misses?” inquired the Major, with true
Culpepper courtesy, a ter greeting the
boy.
“My sister,” replied the boy, with a
twinkling eye.
"Which one is your sister?”
“Both is," said the boy.
" Both are.” said the major, reprov
ingly, as his manner is at such times.
rhe boy shook his head.
“Oh, yes,'" insisted the msjor. “Both
are your sisters; each is your sister.”
“No," insisted tho boy ; “both is my
sister. ’’
“How do you make that out, sir?”
said the mejor with dignity.
“Each is my half-sister, and two
halves make one, don’t they? ’
w hereupon they all ran away, and
the major stood rubbing his chiu in
much perplexity.
In the opinion of Commissioner of
Agriculture O B. Stevens, the Geor

should be handled by the Greater Geor

equal to the task if the exposition was
scheduled for 2004, not otherwise, ob
