(JltUHADK AGAINST TIIK KKGKO.
KranRvlllo, liidinun, In tho lntot no
(liiisition to thoBo cuininunitlcH in
which, chiefly for political roimons,
tho anti-Neuro oloniont Imh arruyod it
wolf nBninat our people, procooiHnjr
with most drastic and unlawful inran
tires to oxpol tho colored population
thereof. In this unholy work, uncoil
Htitutioiml in point of any law which
may, for expediency, ho invoked to
faor it, thoso who proinoto it cito tho
l.vnchiuK of tho colored mon at Hook
port and Iloonovillo for tho allowed
ciriino of enuring tho death of a white
harbor at Itockport ono night ovor u
month ago. Nearly all of tho popu
lous communities in that district or
Indinna havu applied similar moasuros
ugniust our people.
What docs this extraordinary em
Hiido auainst tho Negro mean?
it can
not bo either religious or tomperatico
in chnractor, for our peoplo aro among
till) most U0V01UU III vilinnmuio. .
. . i A...1 ..r I ii.aaiiin.ii ir '
iiiitiiiol bo educational or industrial,
for tho Negro is among tho most
apt, tho most ambitious and tho most
advanced in his classes, ilo is tho
most industribuH employe in what ho
undertaken to do. Can it bo political?
If bo, why should it occur in that par
ticular part of Indiana?
Ie t us seo.
In ovory town mcutionod as tho cen
ter of this antiNegro activity it is
found to bo hold by thoHO whoso pioju
dicos against tho raco is chiolly on ac
count of its color. Who compose- this
olumont? Generally, they aro mom
bora of tho Democratic party and they
do thoir work of crime invariably in
communities in which partisan Democ
racy prevails in political contests.
Thoroforo. is it political?
Largely no, boyond a doubt.'
Tho iulluonco of disfranchisement of
tho Negro iu oortnin Southern states
has spread tb tho staid and stoical
rouimunltlcH of Indiana. It in tho ini
tial inovu to drive tho Nogroes from
Indiana or disfranchise thorn.
In those communities there aro many
white- tramps. Ninoty-niuo iu ovory
ono hundred of them aro criminals by
instinct and habit. When arraigned
for their depredations thoy plead in
ability to obtain work- because of tho
presence of Negroes who will work;
and it in general ly on tho testimony of
tho tramp that a colored man is con
victed of crime.
Tiiereforo, tho anlnniH in this unlaw
ful movement is found in tho criminal
heart of tho whlto hobo, nine times in
every ten cacos tiled against tho former.
Thoro aro a very few colorod
tranipt not ton iu a thousand of tho
hobo fratorulty. Our people will
work. They have boon tauuht that
principle of solf-presoravtlon ever
since thoy wore old ouough to Imbblo
for bread, if thoy cannot, for a given
time, earn more than a living, thoy
Imvo shown a disposition to do that
lather than to loaf, tramp or steal.
Hence, is the cnusu for this outrage
oils treatment of thoyNogro political?
What else can It be?
A feature of tho progress of this
bloody unmade U tho iucompieheuslblo
supiuouessof tho Hopublicau managers
relative thereto.
MUCH PATIKKOK AT SAI.K.M.
Tho souatorUl situation at Salotu la
practically unchanged, exeopt to tho
extent that publio patience shows signs
of oxhauktlou. Corbutt receive! his
usual support on each ballot, Mollrido
his and Smith, tho Domooratlo aspir
ant, his. The seatterrlng vo-ea may
fall anywhere when tho break shall
come.
Hermann's most intimate friends
have given out the statement that ho
is not au avowed caudldato. Were
bis strength will go on tho break Is
already partially understood.
It is positively ovidont, how over,
that neither Mollrido,
Hormauu,
Smith nor Fulton stands any reat.ou;niiUfo state, should be mentioned Oltl
oleohance of election. Their forces
am holdlug outiu the hope that ex
Senator Corbott may grow weary of .
(be outwt aud withdraw, That hope'
will uovnr bo rcnlizod. Mr. Corliett
hiiH kIvoii it out oiitpliiiticnlly tlmt lie
will nut withdraw. It 1h oiihor suc

tril(!f;linK VOtCU II lid lllittlo DulIIO-
emtio support in tho break-up, thoir
liojio being that in this way they may
aoqulro votos enough to throw to ox
Senator Mitchell to elect him, tho solo
object boing to defoat II. VV. Corbott
at all hazards. In this their folly may
cost thorn much.
It is generally boliovod that a break
in tno alignment of tho so vend dllTor
i' nt forces may occjr at any time.
Tho Democrats aro becoming rustless.
Tho peoplo all ovor tho statu aro de
manding a final result. As said beforo,
Mr. Corbott holds tho lead and wlion
tho chaugo shall como it will beyond
doubt placo n sullloicnt number of
votes at Mr. Corbott's dlft.ofinl to oloct
him.
Itegular busiuoss Is bolug dolayod in
this soriou by this tardinoss of dofiuito
result in tho senatorial contest. It is
ridiuulously silly for mon with incon
sequential support to oxpoot Mr.
! Corbott to yield his place to tlioin

cortalnly w, ot (lo lt

On tho other band, it In expensive
folly for tho small fry In tho conflict to
assume that tho peoplo of tho stato will
applaud their work of dalliance with
false Influences. Tho men who lead
tho factions in this discord will be
sorry iu duo tlmo for their play with
public interests.
Mr. Corbott wont to Salem with tho
major portion of his party iu his bo
half. Ho cannot yield. It has become
far more than a personal matter with
him. It is an affair of popular couso
qiiouco now. Public sentiment is bo
hind it and those who stubbornly
refuso to yield to tho pressure of publio
sentiment will ruo tho day thoy Ig
nored it.
Hon. II. W. Corbott is tho man to
day, ami ho will bo tho man on the
tlual ballot.
A DAGO 8UII8TITUTE.
It is said that, iu cortaiu sections of
tho South Italians aro boing em
ployed, iu the placo of Negroes, iu the
work on tho plantations. This an
nouncement ereatos no Hurprisn among
thoso who have watched tho trend of
current politlaal mid economic condi
tions in "certain sections of tho South."
For Instance: Hecently, colored
voters of "certain sections of the
South" were disfranchised, Itathor
than live under such conditions of
political proscription, thov lost no
tlmo in finding homos where their logal
political rights were respected. Thus
industrial conditions iu "certain sec
tions of tho South" became suddenly
congested. Importation of labor was
necessary. L.rgo enterprises suffered
for lack of it. Tho Italian substitute
was found to bo tho only alternative.
Even now, however, employers aro
complaining that Italians are not satis
factory; that ho is not capable of be
coming a good citizen; that Iu is lazy,
troaohorous and generally iucoiupotout.
This is ono of the llrst fruits of .tho
movemuut to exclude tho Negro from
tno Ninth, it is a rorooiul sugges
tion of ono of the notable results of
Afro-Aiuorican exclusion from tho
plantations of tho Southland.
Thoro will bo others, Hut those who
ae aotuatod by an uureasouable pre
judice iu this matter will not learn of
tho full import of this infamous cru
sade until tho ruination of their own
enterprises and fortunes impel the con
fession. Lot them enjoy tho dago substitute
as long us they And virtue iu it. The
Negro is bettor off in communities
where he may pursue progress iu the
essential uveuues of educational and
industrial well being nun whore he
may enjoy his constitutional rights of
cltizeuship.

Among thoso who aro doing excel
lent work in behalf of the moral well-
belui: of tho boys ami girls of the city,
aud, indeed, tho young people of the
'' H, 11. Ilawloy, of tho Hoys' aud
Girls' Aid Society, whoso woric is no
tthly commeudable iu many respects,
I ahould bo said that the lloya and
Girls' Aid Society of l'ortland ,is, in
tho first place, ono of tho best and
most activo institutions of its kind on
tho Pacific coast. It is doing a nood
work, morally and in charity. Officer
Ilawloy, acting indor direction of Su
perintendent Gardner and in pursunnco
of his own conception of responsibility,
is performing a noteworthy service.
His duties aro multifarious. Ho seeks
tho remotest corners of evil for victims
of vico, whom ho roscuos, iu thoir
early experience of waywardness, from
the influences which invariably lead
them to crimo when left to thoir own
discretion. Ho is ovor alert. Dad
boys and wicked girls cannot oscapo
him. Ilo savos trlotn, not only from
vicious association hut from public
ity, ami ho places thorn under influ
ences which mnko them permanently
better. Not many cases aro troatod
for waywardness iu tho Hoys', nud
Girls' Aid Society without success.
Ilo is a faithful, alort and ojusoiou
tious olllcor. r
TIIK GHKAT PAUL
Tho proposed intor-stato fair for
Portland in 1005 has already aroused
tho busiuoss ouorgy of tho loading
spirits of Orogon'fl metropolis and tho
llrst results aro most auspicious. It is
assurod beyond poradvouturo that this
grand carnival of exhibits and accom
panying features of outortaiumoat will
bo hold. In addition to that, tho first
stop in tho arrangement for it gives
oarnostuoss that it will bo directed by
managers whoso foresight, skill and
ability in such extraordinary mattors
will make it a success a success
worth many hundreds of thousands of
dollars to tho peoplo of Orogou in ovory
lino of activo employment.
Portland's growth as a metropolis
has boon gradual, but substantial, and
it shows today a pormauoncy not found
iu any othor city ot tho groat North
west. That ot Oregon gonorally has
boon loss so, but not bocuuso of lack of
incontivo advauco, but chiolly on ac
count of tho absotioo of inspiriting en
couragement and oousoquout enthus
iasm. Iu a moasuro, this accounts for
Oregon' s ropututioti as a slow-going
commonwealth iu matorlal progress
Tho day of tho comnieucemoijl of
work on tho groat fair to bo hold Ifour
years hotico marks a now era fy this
state's advancement. Portland, pai
tioularly, will roceivo a grand sharo
of business bcuollt from this great un
dertaking. A newspaper is really no moro than
an admirable iuvoutlou for propagating
ideas and news. Tho fact that a man
is at tho editorial head ot it, or juiy
where olso on the lino, doos nut iu tho
loast relievo hlui from tho dutioi and
responsibilities attending tho communi
cation of thought. Tho libsrty of tho
press means liberty to stato facts, lib
erty to arguo them, liberty to denounce
abuses, liberty to advocato reforms.
It doos not mean tho venting of private
aud personal spleen and grudge. Aris
totlo delluos liars as of two classes, tho
Hellish aud tho uusolllsli. Journalists
may be divided the samo way. .Thoro
aro thoso who aro iu it for some baso,
solflsh, sordid aud porsoual end, aud
there are others who like it beoauso it
elves an opportunity to oouflrui mid
spread truth aud to correct and uproot
error. Tho personal journalism, that
attempts to reward friends aud puuish
enemies is a noxious aud uuhealthy
thing. For the bouellt of tho press it
self it outfit to die out.
Littto work of a general character
basso far been accomplice 1 by the
present legislature. Much of thelegls
laitou so far done is of a spooial enar
aotor. Administrative results in the Phil
ippine islauds are not vet prououueed
ly dofiuito. It is evident that the task
of subjugating the Filipluos bus only
been begun.
Tin special tax to relieve the conges
tion of flnuuoos iu tho municipality of
Portlaud will not cover tho dellcit by
about 133,000, but it will help rc'liovo
the eouditiou of the local treasury.
Affairs iu tho settlement of the Uhi
ue.se imbroglio are again entangled,
ltussia's courso embarrasses the situa
tion. Karl Li has proven' to bo a liar
iu more places than ouo.
