Race prejudices do not count for much in that count THE city treasury of Denver is said to %e on the verge of bankruptey and the witizens of that town are in the throes of charter revision. Was ever a city charter mude that did not need to be tinkered?

I 18 often said that Philadelphia is a slow town, but she has spent $10,000,- 000 on her new city hall and now the commissioners want $4,000,000 more to finish it. None of tho fast towns can beat that much. Ir 18 remarked by a southern journal that *‘the democratic party is the only one that knows how to handle an oupty treasury.” Let’s see, was it not in 1860 and 1861 that tho democratic party was in complete power in the federal gov- ernment? OKLANOMA isa candidate for state- hood and a bill for its admission hus been intrcduced in the senate. The territory can show a much better claim than Arizonuboth as to population and the resources necessary to sustain a state government, THERE seems to be no question what- wever about the popularity of Adlai I, Btevenson in the south. The enthus- dasm of the receptions given him in that section indicates that there may have ‘been somo misunderstanding ns to who has been elected president. THE press comments upon the illnoss of James G. Bluine show that the man 18 appreciuted at his full worth by peo- ple of all parties and that his condition causes general solicitude and regret.

The Chilians are u brave and sensible people, and there- fore do not think less of us because we dnsisted upon our rights and secured un acknowledgement of them. THE avrangements for the consolida- tion of the Lead and Linseed Oil com- panies provide for the increase of the lead capital stock from $40,000,000 to 850,000,000, It is such figures as these that open the eyes of the public to the enormous power of concentrated capital, ‘What cannot such combinations accom- plish fo the way of crushing competi- ton?

Some idea of what this means may be derived from the state- ment of the journal referred to that the | way to solvo the race problem is to in- | crease the white population of the It declares that ‘“‘when every community has five white families to one blattk family the blacks will be such a small element in our population that they will no longer be of any unde from uny point of view, They will not be heard of in politics and they will quietly settle down to the industrial occupations demanding their labor.” It is not necessary to discuss the old race question here, but it will be ob- sorved that the existence of that prob- lem is ncknowledged, spirit in which in which it is mantioned is that of the nsscrtion of whito su- premacy. Whether such assertion of the supremacy of the whito racoe be the true policy forthe south or not need not now bo asked, but it is evident that the social conditions which have so long returded southern prosperity and growth would themselves stand in the way of tho fulfillment of this project of putti out of sight by swe lation. attracting u tide of imm! ng the white popu- gration 1 the south, but the fact remains that it is not | tending in that=direction and will not dosoto uny great extent so long as the wry of the settler and has no social draw- backs. The south needs energy and en- verprise and a little mob violenee to the square 1nch. those sections where the people have lately gone to work zealously to develop thoir resources a great deal has been accomptished, and this very fact will do something toward attracting immigra- tion. Ia DEALING WITH PLAC Nothing could so well illust: hunger and voraciousness of the small politicians for public office as the fact that several democratic members of con- gress have felt ealled upon, in self- defense, to warn off’ applicants for pluce under the incoming administration. No other people in the world are so greedy for places under the government as aro the American people, not an exaggerated estimate that there will bs an average of a s for overy olfice that the nexv administration will have to dispose of. Add to these the number of place hunters in states whero there is to bo a change of political control and the army of oftice seekers swells into for- midable proportions. ority of thess must in Hly fail, it is almost pathetic to contemplate the great wave of disappointment, that will sweep over tho country in few months following the auguration of Mr. Cleveland. less every democratic mombar of con- eress already has a volumo of appli tions from his constituents, and the number will continue to grow with those who are willing to recoive them. A few have taken the course of publicly statine what they proposs to do with respect to oliice seekers, and their ex- ample is likely to be followed by others. One of these is Representative Harter of Ohio, who has announced the namos of the persons he will racom- mend for office. In a civenlar which he had published in the newspapers of his district he states that he had re- corded the wishes of an averago of from five to thirty good men and women for every pussible position which he could in- hope to control under the incoming ad- | ministration, and he said as if before March 4 he an average eighty to 100 applicants where bo can possibly get one position. Evidently there is a large numbor of democrats in Me. Harter's dis- teict who are dissatisfied with their present means of obtaining alivelihood. Senator Mills of Texas is another who doss not propose to be hounded to death by place hunters and he deals with them less coasiderately even than the Ohio confzressman. He has publicly announced that he does not intend to go into the office-peddling business at all. He says he has all he can do to properly attend to his regular logislative duties and offico seekers must let himalone. This is particularly cour- ageous on the part of Mr. Mills, bacausa he is secking re-election. Of course he will not be uble to adhere rigidly to this rule, but undoubtedly its announece ment will relieve him of a great deal of annoyance and bother, Mr. Cleveland showed a just appre tite of his party for office when he warned place seekers to koop away from him before he becomes president if they would not shut themselv out from consideration, But notwithstanding these precautions and warnings there will be a tremendous force of applicants for employment * in the public ser- vice. There ara 183,000 offices, perhaps half of which number will be teansferred from republicans to democrats during tho next four yoars. Itis not un over- estimute to say that a million appiica- tions will be made for those positions, 80 that the army of the disappointed will be as ten to one of those who are chosen. that it looks would have on THE FLAG ON THE OCEAN, Within the next two woaths two of the swiftest ocean steamships in the world will fly the American flag. By act of the present congress the “City of Puris” and the **City of New York” have Lecome “‘naturalized”—that is, they have been permitted to register as Americun ships, and on a stated day in February next one of them will leave Southampton, and the other Now York, Luviog the import- | and that the | | denas of for g the colored man | | tinguished by this constantdrain. itisall very well to talk about | | in west affords a better field for the indus- | less politics and | | source | matier is t! | may become a part of the naval establish- and it s | | another.

It will be an interesting event, for at present no steamship crossing the Atlantic flies our flag, and the effect may bo to inspire a public sentiment fn this country mora strongly favorable to restoring the American emblem to the ocean than thore is at presont. The | company that owns theso steamships proposes to build two or move of the same kind with American materinls and American labor, and if the experiment shail o successful it may in a few years be common to seo our flag on the Atlan- tic and in Buropean ports, from both of | which it has so long been banished. “There is no probability that anything will be done by the present congress in the direction of rostoring the merchant marine of the United States, but the | party that will fnto power next March will have a great opportunity to do something in this matter to strongthen its claim to popular confidence and support. It s ono of the great practi quostions which must be sottled in the near future if this country is to realize | the commereial progress and enjoy the commercinl independence it -should have. «For more than a quarter of a century our people have bsen paying annually an enormous tribute to foreign countries in the shape of freight and passage moneys.
