"This is a white man's government," shouts Senator Tilman at Chicago. The truth is that in our government, under the constitution as amended, color "cuts no ice." to use a current saying. It is written in the best blood ever shed for human liberty that neither "race, color or previous condition of servitude" shall bar an American Sitizen of his rights or privileges under the American government. The Tillman propaganda against the colored race, or "niggejs" as he terms them, is unjust In the extreme; cruel, relentless and barbarous. Because there are negro outlaws, rapists and murderers Tillman and his . ilk would crush the race as a whole, deny them their rights as citizens, take hope, happir-ess and the inspiration of a sense of liberty and equality of rights and privileges fdom their hearts. It requres but a grain of sense and a moment's thought to realize that Tillman is wrong in his attitude, and such is the conclusion of right thinking American citizens in oil oantfAna rf f Vila niiTitrtr

and the murder spirit in the vicious and dangerous classes, south and , north, and cause many cruel, brutal murders of innocent colored men for no other reason than that they have a black skin. In his utterances and attitude he is a menace to the welfare of all races, as well as to law, order and good government. Liberty Herald.
The decision handed down Tuesday by the Appellate Court to the effect that county sheriffs are not entitled to a 25 cent fee for each prisoner placed in jail and for each one let out. called an In and out fee. will save considerable money to the taxpayers. It amounts to about $125 a year in Hancock county. As these fees have been allowed wrongfully for the past several years, since 1S97 at least., we understand that the sheriffs will have to refund the amount which have been paid to them for putting in and letting out pprisoners. Most people inquire, what is the salary of the office for, if not to look after the duties of the office? A graft about the sheriffs offices of the state is the 40 cents a day allowed for board. The law knows no prices of days, hence a prisoner put in just before supper and let out just after breakfast the next morning costs the taxpayers 80 cents for board. Why would not a law to charge so much for each meal be the proper thing? Greenfield Tribune.
In announcing his purpose to recommend and advocate the proposition to constitute the natives of Porto Rico citizens of the United States, the President is wise and just. , The writer, with knowledge of the character, loyalty and aspirations of the Porto Hicans, has constantly maintained that some means ought to be provided by Congress to permit those people to assume the rights, privileges and duties of American citizenship. The so-called Foraker act, or Organic Law, under which Porto Ricois governed, provides that natives of the island shall be termed citizens of Porto Rico. At the time of the passage of the bill the question of citizenship was raised, but it was held that the term could apply only to citizens of the States and Territories of the Union, and that to grant it would place Porto Rico in the relation of a Territory and give the people the right, on the score of population at least, to claim statehood. But there were good reasons, of special value to the Porto Ricans, for not making them citizens outright. By the Organic Act the customs duties collected since the island became ours, amounting to about $2,300, 000, were refunded to the island: the duties thereafter to be collected, aggregating $600,000 or $700,000 annually, were turned into the Insular treasury, an dthe application to Porto Rico of the United States internal revenue laws was waived, permitting the insular Government, through the operation of its own laws, to collect $SOO,000 or $900,000 annually from that source. Neither of these privileges can, under the constitution be accorded to a State or Territory. But, while it is possible for the most wretched and ignorant immigrant from any civilized country on earth to become a citizen of the United States a Porto Rican cannot, because he is not legally, a foreigner. This, it must be admitted, is a rank Injustice to those good people, and Congress ought, by all means, open the way for righting the wrong. The idea that the aspiration of his life to throw off the yoke of Spain and become a citizen of the Great Republic is denied him. rankles in the bosom of every intelligent Porto Rican, and if it does not breed distrust of our purposes concerning the island, it must tend to destroy in-, terest in progress and cool the ardor of their patriotism. Some means can c rainly be devised to bring our loyal wards into full fellowship. New Castle Courier.

Don't Act Too Hastily
It is stated that representative negroes of this city will in the near future pass resolutions condemning the president's recent action in dis
missing in disgrace three negro companies of the 25th Infantry regiment nnr? wfll fnrwarri tht samfi to Mr. Roosevelt. If the negroes of
this city take any such action they will make a great mistake. We say
thl3 not from partiality toward the president but on the score of justice
toward all concerned. The three negro companies concerned were guilty of obstructing the law of the land in shielding some of their members
from discovery who had committed murder. The guilty members par
ticipated in the riot at Brownsville, Texas, in which several civilians
were wantonly killed, and later the rest of the members of those com
panies refused to aid the officers in detecting the guilty parties. It wa3 for this action that President Roosevelt took such drastic.vaction. He did
not dismiss the three companies simply because they were composed of
nesrroes but because they were shielding murderers from the law. Had
the companies in 'question been composed of white men the president
would have acted just the same. Every act of his during his term in of
fice has shown that he Is no respecter of persons when it comes to pun
ishing those who break the law. Any idea that President Roosevelt was Influenced in his recent action by any southern politician of the Tillman
stamp is absurd, considering that Senator Tillman haies the president
so much that he has not visited the White House for l over two years.
Furthermore, Mr. Roosevelt is not the kind of man to be influence 1 by
anyone. He is a man who acts upon his own responsibility and at the
dictates of his own judgment. Some of the negroes here in the city seem to feel that one instance of unfairness of the president's was that he
did not also discharge the officers of the three negro companies. They
seem to feel that because the officers were white the president showed discrimination. The real facts are that these same officers tried to do
their duty and find out who the men were who were guilty of the mur
ders, and were balked In their efforts by the rest of the men in their companies shielding the guilty ones. It must be remembered that in our
army commissioned officers are not allowed to fraternize with their noncommissioned officers or privates and therefore these officers were not
accomplices of their men in shielding the murderers. In view of these facts it would seem as though the negroes of this city would be acting
very inadvisedly in sending ,any resolutions such as they propose doing
to the president. '
THE RIVER CONGRESS
PREPARATIONS ARE WELL UN
DER WAY FOR THE EVENT WHICH WILL BE HELD THIS WEEK.
I Publishers Press. Washington, Dec. 1. President
Roosevelt is back from his trip to the Isthmus and Porto Rico, jubilant over the work being done on the canal. He returned in time, however, to re
ceive a jolt on the "simplified spelling" funnybone, which 'came in the shape of a decision of the House Com
mittee on Appropriatians. The Committee, which has been in session before the formal opening of Congress, is determined that the Carnegie-Matthews-Roosevelt style of orthography will not be approved by Congress, if
it can be helped. As the Committee on Appropriations is in a peculiarly happy position to have its recommen
dations carried out, it is likely that
the President's track on the existing
dictionaries will prove altogether
harmless, so far sl the government is m concerned. The committee, in addition to voicing its disapproval of
the reform, Is very likely to offer a resoluttion in the shape of an order to the Public Printer to disregard
the Presidential order on spelling, so
far as Congressional reports are con
cerned. This is the most Important
revolt yet, and undoubtedly there is
woe in the camp of the simple spellers. It will be remembered that the Navy Department balked first, and
the Supreme Court followed its lead by refusing to have the changed style used in the reprinting of briefs.
Preparations are well under way
for the convention of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, which meets here on Thursday and Friday
of next week.. J. F. Ellison, secretary of tae Executive Committee of the
Congress, has arrived from Cincin
nati, and is busily engaged in making ready for the, 1,100 delegates who will be in attendance. A gratify
ing fact in the acceptance pouring In
on Secretary Ellison in response to
the invitation of the Congress to com
munities to attend the convention, is the number of favorable replies from districts and cities distant from riv
ers or deep sea ports. Indianapolis is a case in point. Mavor Bonkwalter of that city, with a big delegation, is coming to attend the session. Indianapolis is a railroad city, essentially,
but it realizes .that the development
of water transportation is. certain to
have the effect of reducing rail
freight rates over wide areas. For
instance, Major Bookwaiter knows
that if the Ohio river is dSreJoped to
a channel of commerce it will force
the railroads at Indianapolis to reduce rates on many commodities, althousrh th river does not. come into
immediate competition with the Indi
anapolis traffic. If the railroads did not reduce their rates, the Industries affected would move out of their ter- j
ritory, deserting Indianapolis for Cin-
cinnati or some manufacturing point '.
on the river, and thus the tran?por-
tation companies and the capital of Indiana would be losers. This fact
has been a difficult matter to drive ,
home to communities not situated on !
the Inland rivers, but now it evident

Seven persons were killed in a wreck on the Southern Railway at l.vcrtrir. Va., Thanksgiving day. One of the dead Is Samuel Spencer, president of the Southern railway; another victim is a New York millionaire named Philip Echnyder. J. P. Morgan, the big financier, shed tenrs in bearing of his friend Spencer's death. It requires some such terrib ca'amity to cause our American railway magnates to realize the awful and to a large extent unnecessary slaughter of human beings on the rail ways of this country. Samuel Spencer had a great career in the railwriv world, having gradually ascended from a surveyor to railroad president. Rushviile Star.
