[ Republican Party Rcspour.Hile Fo ;
Xcprro Lr.TvIojxiicKK Strops : Protest :
From Eleniblcun QniirlcrM Asuins
the Action of the President AiTaii
lnf ; a Political Aspect.
The presidential chickens have com *
home to roost as far as the uegn
question is concerned. The entertain
mcnt of Booker Washington at th <
"White IIousc inspired the negro lead
ers and preachers to constantly ant
persistently declare that "yon are as
good as a white man , so demand am
stand up for your rights. " This has
been interpreted by the ignorant col
ored brethren as not only to claiir
their legal rights , but to demand equu
social rights also. President Roe a
velt never intended such claims foi
social equality lo follow his impulsive
invitation to the negro leader to tht
coveted place at the White House ta
ble , but it is so interpreted by the ne
groes generally and especially by the
negro soldiers. The whole trouble al
Brownsville. Tex. , proceeded from the
exclusion of the negro soldiers from
the hotels and saloons'aggravated by
the national antipathy between the
races , which is not confined to the
southern states , but exists in the north
ern states with equal intensity , where
negroes form any large proportion of
the population.
This desire of the negroes for social
equality is the very natural result of
the granting of political equality , for
which the Republican party is respon
sible. The fifteenth amendment to the
constitution was intended to re-enforce
the Republican army of voters with a
new contingent , who would be always
available for partisan purposes , and
the hope that with the aid of the car
pet baggers the Democratic solidarity
in the southern states would be over
come and defeated. It was a vain
quest for power south of Mason and
Dixon's line , but has been successful
in the great states of the north in ei
ther holding them in the Republican
column or making them doubtful , with
the negro voters holdinj the balance of
power.
With regard to the rights and
wrongs of the individuals composing
the three companies of the Tweuty-
fifth colored infantry , no one is so well
able to judge as the war department.
Unless strict discipline is maintained
the neighborhood of a company or reg
iment of colored troops would be a
curse instead of protection to the citi
zens of the locality where stationed.
No people , north or south , will permit
drunken or sober soldiers to push them
off the sidewalks and will assuredly
resent rudeness to women. That is an
unpardonable offense. Tie shooting af
fray is wrapped in mystery , but the
fact that some of these negro soldiers
shot tAvo white men , one of them an
officer of the law , is undisputed. Their
companions refused to witness against
them , and they arc still unpunished.
The equity and fairness of President
§
Roosevelt's order for the discharge
without honor of all the members'of the
three companies is open to grave ques
tion and its constitutionality denied ,
lie was perhaps too impulsive , but to
rescind the order would undoubtedly
lead to further trouble and incite our
negro population to further acts of violence
lence in future. There is an extraordi
nary percentage of lawless negroes in
every large city , and with any encour
agement their numbers would be re-
enforced from the younger element of
the negro population. The negro
preacher and the negro schoolmaster
are the chief cause of the lawlessness
of so many of the negroes , for their
preaching and teaching are filled with
constant appeals to the ignorant listen
ers to stand by their rights and de
mand all the social equality attainable.
The school boards of the cities are
greatly to blame for hiring semi-igno
rant negro teachers , who thus encour
age presumption that leads to lawless
ness iu the minds of ignorant children
with no home teaching to offset it. j
There are many other phases of this
negro question , and as the particular
case under discussion is assuming i >
strong political aspect and is raising a
storm that may have far reaching ef-j
feet it is for the president to calm the
troubled waters that he has ruffled by
his impulsive order. Democrats can
afford to be fair and impartial , foi
they have always been the better
friends and advisers of the honest and
respectable negro.
Partisan Reports.
American Consul llalstead at Bir
mingham , England , in his official re
ports to the department of state seems
very anxious to prove that British
manufacturers show a general tend
ency to combine to keep up prices , but
he does not say a word about the
breakdown of the proposed soap trust
in consequence of the evident determi
nation of the British people not to sub
mit to such trade combinations in any
form. There being no tariff protection
in England to foster trusts , an effec
tive combine to increase prices is al
most impossible , but such facts are
never discovered by these Republican
partisan consuls , which shows the
stand patism of the present adminis
tration.
A Query.
Will their new promise be any more
faithfully kept than former promises ,
and will the protected trusts and cor
porations be any more willing to see
tlieir profits cut down after 1008 than
now ?

should be deeply interested in what he has said about soda
crackers , because they are the one food with which all of
them are familiar.
Uncle Sam has given out figures showing that soda
crackers are richer in nutriment and body-building elements ,
properly proportioned , than any food made from flour.
This is saying much for common soda crackers , and
much more for Ur&68da BSCU3t ! , because they are
soda crackers of the best quality. They are baked better
more scientifically. They are packed better more cleanly.
The damp , dust and odor proof package retains all the good
ness and nutriment of the wheat , all the freshness of the best
baking , all the purity of the cleanest bakeries.

Your Uncle Sam has shown what food he thinks best
for , his people. His people have shown that they think
Uneeda B3SC15it the best of that food , nearly
400,000,000 packages having already been consumed.
