Grady is undeniably the 1 most eloquent champion of tlio ' now south " He bolievcs deeply and earnestly i In a great f uturo of power and prosperity for that soctlon , to bo nchioved i by Industry , cntorpriso and education , Ho is in full and hearty sympathy with the progressive spirit of > ' the tlmo us to all mnterial r.ud moral conditions By tongue and pen ho has done much to stimulate the people of the south in the work of industrial restoration nnd develop ment in which they have airoudy been so lnrgoly successful His in ton bo and patriotic devotion to the interests and welfare of his boction is worthy of all admiration , nnd everywhere com mands It But whlloMr Grudy has grown Into sympathy with now and hotter Idons and iniluoncos iu allot her respects , ho i romalnB firmly bound to the political traditions nnd prejudices _ , of the | old south This was clearly shown in his speech ut the banquet of the Bos ton merchant ! last wcok , the Uowing and glowing periods of which could not conceal the fact that the old southern spirit still dominates him so far as the > political relations of the whlto und colored I- orod citizens of the south are concern od , and that in obodlonco to It ho is pro pared to disregard and violate the , con stltutlon nnd laws of the country Mr Grady's address , the eloquence of which has boon widely and just ly extolled , discussed the race problem , and among ether things tlio orator said : The negro vote can never control In the south , and it would bo well if partisans ut the north would understand this " and ho further do- clnrod that no power under this gov ernment could reestablish negro su- premaoy in the south In ether a-oihIb , wherever the negroes may bo in the majority In that boction they will not bo allowed to oxorolso the fight of the majority under our system of govern mont to control Having thus unquali fiedly proclaimed the purpose of the southern whltos to disregard the pro vision ot the constitution which says ' that the right of oltlzons of the United States to vote shall not be douled or abridged by the United States or by any Btato , ou account of race , color , or pre vious condition of servitude , " and rote nullify national laws in order to keep the negroes from tho.onjoymontof their rights , Mr , Grady makes a plea for patience and toleration for these on- irlomlos of the constitution and the laws , Who uro the norlhorn partisans that iroMr. . Grady would huvo understand thut laltho colored citizens of the south will not mabo poriultlod to have their rights ? I They are the people who domund that I the constitution shall bo respected in every soctlon of the land nnd that the nntlonal laws Bhall everywhere bo lmtht partially nnd equitably administered , And what answer should bo glvon to the appeal for toleration and pntloncoV Shall it bo snid that a mistake was made in making the negroes cltizons nnd clothing thorn with the rights of citl- zonshlp nnd that now the only ropara- tlon for the blunder is to leave thorn to tin mercy of their political onomlos ? And If this bo not admitted , how much further can toleration and putiouco bo extended in justice to these wronged oltlzons and all who are wronged with thorn ? When will the tlmo bo rcaohod beyond which the law-rcspcctlng people of the country will not permit the constitution and the laws , which nro the safeguards of their Hbortlcs and their free instltu- tlons , to bo ignored and doflod ? The trouble with Mr Grady and nil who think with him is that they have nolhmi ing just ntid practicable to propose for the solution of the race problem They propose visionary schemes of negro cmigrntio n or colonization , knowing full well that they cannot bo carried out , and thus dallying with the grcnt issue they go on violating the national law und plead for toleration and patience Perhaps it is wisest und best to hood tlio appeal , but It is as cortaln as fate that tha wrong and Injustice in behalf of which it is made will in time be remedied = = = = = = = = = = = = = The doadloclc In the Montana logisftf laturo Is practically broken The do- tailsof the agroomontnro not dolitiitoly known , but the fact thut the domocrutto sonntors itppoared in the chamber nnd wore sworn tn U evidence that an un derstanding satisfactory to both parties has been reached The divided house hnd not reached a settlement at last ac- counts , and it is possible that some delay may bo oxpertoncod in bringing it togotliDr Apart from the political - cal significance of the contest , the dead lock seriously endangered the welfare ol the state The machtnory of the courts was stopped ; conflicts , ol authority menaced public order , and necessary legislation was delayed by ti conflict primarily duo to the sonii- torships Involved Neither the repub licans or democrats could afford to con tlnuo this state of affairs to the consli- tutional limit of ninety days , and it was ' the part ot wisdom for both sides to unbend - bond for tlio common weal With the - deadlock broken the court will bo or ganized , and the judicial branch ot the state ' proceed to-business at once It is ( probable that the olectlon of sonntorsand all political legislation will bo sot asldo ' pending an investigation of the Tinmol precinct returns , and the interim devoted - voted to such measures us are necessary for statehood = IT is intimated that the adminlstra- . tlon may send Governor Pornkor of Ohio to represent the government as mlniator to Russia Republicans genn orally would approve the appointment , und there is every reason to believe that t the governor would make a most credit able and useful representative Although - though the post ot minister to Russia is a llrst-class mission , it has generally been filled by rather commonplnco men , who made little impression fa- vorablo to themselves or , the country , upon the Russians Forakor would not bo I likely to fail in this respect Ho 3 can bo depended upon to assert himself whenever occasion warrants , and his ardent Amorlcanism would win him a measure ' of attention and regard which few ' of our ministers have onjov'od at the I Russian capital The prcstdont might i easily mnko a loss worthy soloc- tlon | than that of Governor Forakor for the I mission to Russia The attacks of the prohibitionists on Judge Brewer utterly failed to even check ( for a moment that gontloman's < promotion to the supreme bench The senate i coinmlttoo hits unanimously rec- ! ommondod i con Urination , u fact which proves that the senators recognize Judge Brewer aa eminently qualified for that exulted position Judge Brewers ' igreat crime in the eyes of the prohibi- [ tlonists was his refusal to sanction the destruction of property without com ponsntion The asnaults servo to illus irate to what depths fanaticism will istoop to defame nnd coerce the oppo nents of modern blue laws . .
