Car lyle. THE RACE PROBLEM. INSTEAD of "breathing oat threatenings and slaughter" against the colored people of the south, because of the dastardly and exasperating deeds of a few of them, rhite men of large influence in that part of the country should address themselves to some more rational so lution of the problem that confronts them than lynching or other violence, Or the extirpation or expatriation of the negro race. Lynching in certain cases might receive less condemnation if negroes were lynched only for as saults on white women and if only the real and certainly proven culprits avere lynched. But lynching of ne groes for other crimes, and mob mur der of negroes innocent of any crime, as if they were no more or better than wild beasts, has become 'fre quent, and this vice, like all others, grows by indulgence. The rabid ut terances of .many southern news papers, and oBnarfy public men, like Governor Vardaman of Mississippi and Senator Tillman of South Caro lina, have encouraged the spirit of snob violence, and prompted lynching and other forms of murder and arson, ssntil these crimes have become so eommon that but little excuse is re quired for their commission, espec ially by young men and boys. If the whites thus disregard law and human life, how can they expect a race of people with less intelligence and less power of restraint over an imal passions to refrain from criminal acts? In many cases, we must admit, the provocation is very great; we sup pose northern people under like cir tnmstances would act in the same ,way; but the problem is not to be solved by indiscriminate slaughter of the blacks, nor even by lynching only the guilty ones. And the proposal or suggestion of violent extermination of the negroes is neither statesmanlike nor philosophic. If our "boasted civ ilization offers no other remedy, it tnust be very much overrated. The negroes are in the country. It Is not their fanlt that they are here. Under the law they are citizens, with equal rights and privileges with white people. If it be necessary to nullify the law as to negro suffrage in the south, wholesale murder of people on account of their color is a different matter, and every possible effort should be made by the responsible white people of the south to suppress these outbreaks of mob violence. The editors and preachers and public men of the south, instead of fomenting and applauding such sctions, should cooperate to suppress them, and to go bout the easing of their 'black man's burden in some more civilized way It is not an easy task, we fully under i Stsad, but the extermination or wholesale slaughter of the negro race in America because of the crimes of a comparatively few of them is a rem edy that every gnnrl citizen must op pose. 8ENATOR HEDGES. "THE Salem Statesman says: "Senator Hedges, the Derao ! crstic senator from Clackamas county, by the bluff and bluster with which he has advertised himself as returning a railroad pass, has written himself down a much smaller man than we had estimated him. Men with big grafts to promote will now be looking for Mr. Hedges." We never read or heard of Mr Hedges msking any "bluff or blus ter." . Hejreturned the pass and gave hit reasons, which were good ones. It would be well if every member of the legislature would imitate his ex aanple. The people need some legis lation affecting the railroads next winter, and while they wish the rail road to be dealt with fairly they want the people s interests to be psr- and a pass in a legislator as a an be, or aa influence in favor of the railroad and against the people when their interest conflict. In belittling and deriding Senator Hedges and attributing base motives to him, the editor of the Statesman virtually assumes that sincere and conscientious honesty in a legislator is an impossibility, and that any one who doesn't acknowledge himself a rogue is a hypocrite. INDEPENDENT PAPERS. N EXPLANATION of its oppo sition to Hearst the Rochester Herald says that henceforth it ill pursue its course independent of every party connection. It will ac knowledge no allegiance to parties or partisans. It will choose for itself such candidates, platforms, principles and policies as commend themselves to its sense of fitness and right; and these the Herald will support frankly and fearlessly. It will have no preju dices for or against Democrats, Re publicans or third-party men, as par tisans; but will treat them in the light of their individual deserts and their claim to public confidence and sup port." A good many American papers that were formerly "organs" have made or will make the same resolution. A newspaper that always approves everything a party does or says and every candidate it puts forth, snd in variably condemns the other party and all its movements, declarations and candidates, is not entitled to pub lic esteem or support Labor Commissioner Hoff msy have performed his other duties well, but his estimate of the population of Oregon is not, we think, to be very implicitly relied upon. It may be somewhere near the right figures ss to some other counties, but he has certainly underestimated Multnomah county, which he credits with 129,- 116 people. His estimate is based, we suppose, on last year's school cen sus, which hss been increased a good deal in the past year, and his multi plier seems to need enlarging a little. It is certain that Portland alone has more people than Mr. Hoff gives Multnomah county. The Pendleton Tribune says The Journal does not like the president's Harrisburg speech. Oh, yes, it was a very good speech, but it left s good many things that seemed timely un said. What a fine opportunity, for instance, to have roasted the grafters, boodlers and ballot-box stuffers that have held sway in Pennsylvania for the last half s century nearly, a very small item of their work being the very capitol that was being dedicated, which cost $13,000,000 instead of the $4,000,000 estimated snd sppropriated. The president is sound and strong in his generalizations. The lawyer who brought proceed ings to have his wife enjoined frotns?m"nUl1pu'po"e'; beating him gives fine evidence of the uses of a legal education. The lay man would have borne the daily chas tisement with such meekness ss prov idence had implanted in his man's heart, and when forbearance hsd ceased to be s virtue, would hsve slipped away to some desolate spot there to bathe his wounds in the heal ing balm of his self-respect But maybe, the lawyer brought the in junction proceedings for practice. Several Oregon Republican papers have joined in censuring Senator Hedges and impugning his motives in returning his pass, assuming that a member of the legislature could not do so with conscientious sincerity and from principle. Perhaps they might not have jumped to this conclusion so deftly if Mr. Hedges had been a Re- ublican. To make a long rua over the rocky road to the Massachusetts governor ship, W. L. Douglas is better equipped than any man in the state. And yet .he would have no "walk over." Jult as soon as Seattle raises that contribution for the San Francisco sufferers, we may expect something interesting in the way of s cash offer for the deciding game of the baseball championship series. What is the railroads' object in is suing passes to legislators and other officials? And if the railroads did not find it profitable to do so, would they be thus giving passes away? When employers and employes can not agree, they should submit their differences to arbitration, rather than inflict serious injury upon the public. ' . . 381 The Oregonian incidentally men tions "the growth of the city in the past year," but this was perhaps an inadvertent admission. If the rivsl candidates for the hon orable position of governor of the Empire state do not dsm the bitter flow of their denunciatory eloquence ' 1 A Little Out of the Common THINGS PRINTED TO READ" WHILE YOU WAIT.

Hai-borough Hill, in ths western portion of the country, said to have been a haunt of tha Druids, and apparently used both for worship and ss a place of burial, says the Sheffield Telegraph. Some year ago a number of human skulls, which had been compactly burled there In some distant century, were un earthed at the summit of thia lofty ridge, which command a vie over six eountlea. terminating in th peak of Snowdea. the latter being easily visible en a clear lay. The hill bristles with fantastle dolo mite crag, some of which were.

In which a semicircular bowl has been acooped, look Ilk a rude foat. It was with water from this ancient rook bowl that the child the daughter of a farmer in the district was lately christened. The little girl, three months old, was carried up to this wild, bleak spot, accompanied by numerous rela tives. Including, of course, the neces sary godfather and godmother, and there, with the wind howling among ths crags, baptism was administered by a lay reader. Widows. Widows exist In all countries, thus counterbalancing th matrimonial deca dence which might otherwise result from timid men. Widows are clinging by temperament and attach themselves readily to any object that can't neip Itself, ssvs Life. It Is generally considered unlucky to meet a widow on a dark ptassa by the light of the moon. In many countries to be kissed by a widow means endless trouble. Widow are frequently sooorapanled by children who number Is constantly liable te in areas They roam at large over the principal sections, snd no man 1 safe when they are near.

Last night , Miss Corcoran opened an engagement of three nights st th Hetllg theatre in "The "freedom of Su zanne."

Post's The Public. In the whole history of American polltlesMt would be probably impossible to parallel th case of William Randolph Hearst As candidate for governor of New York. Self-sought snd self-secured, his nomination I th higheat sort of tribute to his political acumen and kill. If any other man tn the United States court! have accomplished a result so improbable when undertaken, he is not yet known to political fame. And not only was the achievement Improbable, but the method by- which it was accom plished would have been described three months before ss altogether Impractica ble. There are many difficulties la th way of a choice, to man who see In Mr. Hughes at the beat a stalking horse for plutocracy, yet recognise In Hr. Hearst a political self-seeker who, though he often leada good causes, sal. dom if ever prefer his cause to him If. The weakness of Mr. Hearst In this respect must be conceded. He ha don work and good work for causes in which we are all Interested. Without his sld ths municipal ownership move ment in Chicago, for Instance, would have been killed off long' ago. But It has become notorious that ha never works faithfully for a cause, whether philanthropic or political, un less hi own portrait I stamped upon it Whatever tenda to promote his own ambitions he helps;, but whatever prom isee no reward of that kind he is apt to wither with neglect or to kill by direct attack. If he wants a man, be reaches out for him and puts hits Into his pocket ir the msn consent; if he man doe not consent, he knock him out of th wsy snd goe on to tb next one he wanta. Whan JanVes a. Megulre was ths Democratic candidate for governor ot California, Mr. Hearst compassed his defeat because he could not use him for personal purposes. He did th same thing and for the same reason with Franklin K. Lens when Mr. Lane was ths Democratic candidate for governor of California. Yet both Mr. Magulre and Mr. Lane stood for -the seme OS uses for which Mr. Hearst -professed to stand. In New York, after vigorously pro moting the organisation of the labor movement in local politics, which had Henry George for its standard bearer as candidate for mayor, the Hearst papers abandoned the movement at the point of Ita highest effectiveness. Going over to the support of Tammany hall In that contest, theae paper made a virulent on slaught upon Mr. George for no other apparent reason than that Mr. George's popularity might cross th path of Hr. Hearst's political ambitions. s . , In Chicago hi help In the election of Mayor Dunne in th municipal owner ship campaign was Indispensable and generously and effectively given; but since Mayor Dunne's refusal to be a Hearst bond-servant in politic and offi cial administration, though he has rec ognised Hr. Hearst's reasonable claims, perhaps too generously. Hr. Hearst's newspaper have been silent when their help wss most needed and obstructive when opportunity offered; sad this te the extent even of. Jeopardising ths mu nicipal ownership policy. Ambitious of the presidency, Hr. Hearst haa displayed the narrowest of dispositions toward men whom he -has thought of as competitors. When Tom L Johnson a candidate for governor of Ohio was fighting In that state the same predatory Interest which he him self professes to be fighting In New York, hie papers were silent lest per- dventur Johnson might cross his pres idential path. When Bryan wss given a farewell reception at Chicago a year ago, the Hearst papers were short of spao for reporting the event; and tbls ws true also of his San Francisco paper with reierence to Bryan farewell re ception there. As Hr. Bryan's name speeches and doing ar liberally enough reported m the general press, neither h nor his- friends have any necessity for complaining of the Hearst paper.
