Provided the Pre-Election Promises of the Republicans Are Honestly Carried Out. Washington, Sept. iti.—One of the shortest planks in the republican plat form is one of the most significant and refers to the reorganization of the federal departments and bureaus. Aside from the pledge being marked w ith the sound business sense that has characterized the republican idea of administration of public economies, it will reach one of the sources of racial humiliation that the present adminis tration has visited upon its colored em ployees, the evil of segregation. Reorganization with a view to con solidation, the (diminution of “duplica tion, delays and overlapping of work,’’ means that this humiliation will be forever dispelled. Of course, the dem ocrats have absolutely no conception of economy. Their party has never done anything in a constructive way. It is essentially a party of penury aid as such depends upon its brief author ity to destroy what others have ac cumulated. Segregation, the detest able practice born of prejudice, that makes a colored clerk or employee isolated from others engaged in the same work; the provision of separate toilets and other quarters for a man or woman because he happens to be colored, is an extravagance in itself. The democrats W'asted the public money to live up to their tenets that one governmental employee should not be treated with the same consid eration as others of a different color. Segregation is not only a crime against economy, and the people of this country treated to a saturnalia of waste, are insisting that their money be no longer thrown away just for the simple purpose of satisfying the unwholesome race hatred of a crowd of southern officials who desire to im press upon the country the manner isms and methods of their section.

New York, Sept. 16.—Belief that the race riots between Negroes and whites can be avoided has led several prominent social workers of the coun try to form a society for the promo 1 tion of harmony between the two races. The committee for the recon ciliation of the races is not in favor of the isolation of any race. It has gone on record as being opposed to the reso lution passed by the convention held recently in Madison Square Garden, calling upon all Negroes to emigrate to Africa. Fenton C. Johnson, the Negro poet, speaking for the commit tee, explained that such a movement would only result in a loss for both races. “The Negro is an essential economic unit in the welfare of America,” he said. “The only solution of the pres ent problem is for the blacks and whites to know each other better. That is the purpose of this committee.” The Idler the Busier. Curiosity, which is celled Idle, is al >ays on the Job.—Albany Journal.
