Mr. Bryan had occasion to re fer to the relation which exists between th* Republican party und the negroes of llie Soulh Among other things he said: "The Republican patty has taken thn ne gro for thirty years to an office door and then tied him on the outside" Thai is true so far as the North Is concerned, but here In tha Bnuth the ne gro has beiu given scene of the best of fices. Republican President* have seem ed to lak-* special pleasure In putting negroes Into office In the South. They ap pear to have been Influenced In doing so by a reehug of hatred of th# South, be cause fhe South has refused lo give the Republican pally any electoral voles. Mr. McKinley got a great many Demo cratic votes In the Houllt four year* ago. and he will get some this year, but not nearly as many aa he gel at the last presidential election, (f he had not tilled some of the principal federal offices of the Mouth with negroes, he would get n pretty large Democratic support In the Boutlim states. ll teems queer here In the South, that the Republican party, professing to have such a high regard for the negro, docs not give h m Important offices In New York, Ohio and other Northern stales, where there Is a large colored vote. It gives him some place. It Is true, but only a minor one. It makes him a janitor or a laborer. Hr Bryan made his statement from hts knowledge of whit the Republican party does for the negro In the He hid forgottyn, Jt he ever knew, that here In the South, under a Republican adminis tration. the negro I* the favored citizen a* far as th* dlstribuilon of the federal office* Is concerned? Two years or so ago Col Ampudla. of Ij#ft"Weyleria staff, challenged Gen Rrad ley T. Johnston of Richmond to a duel, because of aomc strictures upon Weyler and the Spanish soldier* which Gen.

Ampudla then dropped back Into obscurity, where he remained until last week, when he ap peared In Havana in the khaki, uniform of a I'nlted States soldier, lie had re signed from the Spanish army and ac cepted a aubordftksie place under the American Hag which he so ardently hated only a short while ago.

( in%K(llE MBCXAIIW* Mia PIUCK wat io. In the current number of the North American Review Mr. Andrew Carnegie sets a rest the speculation as to whether >e will support Mr liryan or Mr. Mc- Kinley. A> matter of f ct. It la not of much consequence which one he support*, *rfpt mat mis probabia thl he will • on trlhute liberally to the campaign fund of the party he favors. It is pretty safe to any that he is not registered, and will not. therefore, ba prepared to vole at the elec tion It often happens that men of the promi nence of Mr. Carncgio—prominence due to great wealth and vast material In- Serfsta—do not tak* th* trouble to vote. Tliey prefer to seek pleasure in foreign lands to taking a |*.rt In the public af fairs of their own country. It will be re called that when a few daya ago. Mr Olney t ime m th* from with a long let ter mi the political situation. It was as •erted unl not denied that he had not voted In the last five or six years. Doubt l-ww there are many prominent men who prci* #M) to Influence public |'ln(on on pub lic affairs who do not take the trouble to qualify themselves to vote The reason there was so much specu lation na to whether Mr. C*arnegie would oupitoft Mr liryan or .Mr M- Klnley, was that he mniilfeate*) the most vigorous op poaitlon to the Phllippm#* policy of the ltlubli an party. He wrote irtic|*s, and In other ways attra* ted almost as much attention to himself In connection with the Philippine matter as did Senator Hoar Many p**jple thought <htt nothing could Induce him to support Mr McKinley. According to his article in the North American Review, however, he thinks the beat interest* of th#* • ountry demand the re-election of Mr M Klnley He believes thai Mr. McKinley's judgment baa been right all along, but that he ha* been In fluenced to take a wrong course by bad men. men of Inferior etatemanahlp. Hr probably has Mr. Hanna In mind Ho declares that Mr McKinley wa right In respect to Porto Rico, aa 1* shown by his "plain duty" message, and he wus right •bout the Philippines, as was shown by hl Instructions to the American t'ovnmll • loners to the Parts peace Convention He thinks If It had not been for the men on whom he depended as adviser* he woujd have sto#d by his menage In the case of Porto Rico and his Instructtona In the case of the Philippines. The substance of Mr. article Is. In brief, that lie thinks the best Inter ests of the country demand the re-election of Mr McKinley. Mr. Bryan Is such a sincere man. according lo hi* view, that he would undertake to force free silver on th® country wither the people wanted ll or not. May It not he that Mr Carnegie has In mind particularly the Mg contracts for armor plate for the navy which he Is pretty certain to get as his own figures if the Republican party remains In power, and which he would not get.

In the course of an editorial article com menting on a letter written by Mr Alex ander R. l,nwtnn of this city, the New York Run. a day or two ago. said that the North was getting tired of the ever lasting negro question. That Is not sur prising. In view of the fact that there Is nothing (o be made out of It. and It ha* la-come very troublesome. The North I* beginning to understand that she herself Is responsible for the eztsteoc* of the question In It* present ohat**. Th* Repub -11,-on party |ut the ballot In the hands of the negro for the purpose of peipetuating Its power. It thought It would b- able with the negro vote and the help of the carpet baggers to elect presidential elec tors and Congressman In the South. Now that the Mouth Is solidly Democratic the North Is getting Bred ol the negro ques tion. The North has also found out that there Is more race prejudice among her own people than among the people of the Mouth, and that a negro lw Just a* likely to lw lynched In the North as In Ih* Mouth. There Is reason, therefore, why the North I* getting tired of ihe negro quest lon. Bui the negro question would not have so much prominence tf the North would let It alone The people of that section are all the while Insisting U|<on settling it their way. when, as a matter of fad. they know nothing about !. Ex-Oov. Northern In an Interview tn New Orleans.Uisl Friday night, made some remarks on this point that are well worth quoting. He said: "I have alwaya contended that the quicker the North felt that we were In a position lo deal with the negro, that we were thoroughly acquainted with hi#char actcrtsttcs, hts weakness and ht* needs, th" quicker the race problem would be solved "I think the negro of the Mouth I* fast beginning to believe that hta heat friend I* the white Moutherner. This Is demon strated dady. He see* that schools are bring maintained for ht* advancement an l lhat he has every privilege accorded to hi* whit# brother.

The white race I* going to dominate tn Ihe Mouth Just R do#* In the North.
