Lorimer bribery case in Illin ois furnishes the strongest kind of argument in favor> of t.he election of ?aked States Senators by the peo ple. The Republicans will spend piles of tr :at money in Ohio this fall in an endeavor to prevent Harmon's reelec tiou as governor. It remains to be seen if Ohio can be bought. With some men you cannot tell how strong you are until they bear the responsibilities of high public of fice. And it is by the same method that other men show their weakness. Vv'hen a great high priest of the high tariff party, like Ex-Gov. Rol lins, of New Hampshire, is caught evading the payment of duties on gooc's he imports, it is about time l.'or an honest revision of th-. tariff ?It is a sad thing to see a man lose his grip on life; to see the high resolve, courage, hope and bright ness gradually run out like the sand from a hour glass. Such men, or men in danger of thus giving up, need t.he cheering word and timely sup port of their fellows. (Some people are so decidedly al truistic tuat they think every mo ment wasted rhat does not produce something practical. They seem to forget 'hat God makes but one apple for about a hundred blossoms. Ap parently the ninety and nine are just for beauty and fragrance. (A lot of people take their pleas ures' sadly if they take them at all. They seem to think it an unpardon able sin to look happy and enjoy life. In all which they run counter to God who desires that the life of men shall have its full measure of melody and joy as well as of toil and trial. Most men are anxious for immor tality, but not every one seems to know how to gain it, judging by the way they live. Let men do the best possible with this life by serving their fellows and living righteously and they need not worry about im mortality?it will be theirs without fail. The fears of timid people as to possible danger from the comet were unwarranted and but showed the foolishness of borrowing trouble. If the .fear and suspense which attend a Fourth of July celebration could only prove as groundless what a ?happy people we would be, but that is too much to hope. It is suggestive that a very large proportion of labor troubles are set tled by arbitration after both sides in the case have suffered immense losses by strikes or lock outs. How much more sensible every way it would be to arbitrate disputes as soon 93 they arise and thus prevent suffering, hardships, and bitterness of feeling. Study is hard and the school hours drag wearily along when rhe call of the s"mm?r is heard. The swim ming hole in the stream has an al lurement for the average boy that al gebra cannot possess, and the chem istry of the laboratory fades away before the subtle vision of leafy woods, sparking water and the sing ing of birds. It seems almost impossible for Legislature to buy furniture for State houses without having some graft attached to it. A short time ago thousands of bribe money went into the pockets of the members of the Pennsylvania Legislature' and others in a furniture deal for the new State House, and now a similar scandal is being unearthed in con nection with furnishing the Illinois State House. In addition to the bribery scan dal in connection with the election of Senator Lorimer by the Illinois Legislature, another scandal has heen brought to light in the same Legislature in connection with the ?buying of furniture for the new .State house. In both instances mem Ibers of the Legislature were bought for various sums. Some to vote for Lorimer and some to help rob the State in a furniture deal. Senator Lorimer. who is charged with bribing members of the Illinois Legislature to vote for him for Unit ed States Senator, fairly foamed at the month as he abused th>> Chicago newspaper that first published th charge that he had bought his seat in the United States Senate. Un fortunately for Senator Lorimer, several members of the Illinois Leg islature have confessed that they were paid to vote for him. No news paper should be abused for publish ing the truth, matters not who it hurts. If publishing the truth hurts a public man, it is because the pub lic man has done something he should not have done. If the truth hurts it is not the newspapers fault. A Most Pernicious Doctrine. Clarence S. Darrow, a Socialist lawyer of Chicago, speaking at the second annual conference of the na tional negro committee, recently held in New York, advanced a doctrine j '.hat is most horrible- to contemplate I from any view that may be taken of it. He holds that the real solution of the race question in this country is race amalgamation. "This will be the ultimate answer to fne question," declares this sreat apo3t!e of Socialism. "It may be a long way in the future, but inter marriage between the races will final ly settle all difficulties, as it has in the case of the Irish and Germans and other peoples who formerly had to be kept apart in order to pre serve the peace. "T.he real barrier is not cclor. It it the fact that the Negroes were once slaves and that today they are in the ranks of labor. It is a labor question rather than a race problem and the way for the Negro to ob tain recognition is to cast his lot boldly with the poor and fight witn them and for them. The cause of t.he poor is his cause, and his cause is theirs." This is a dangerous and damna ble doctrine to be advanced in the South, but we doubt if there is i\ single necro paper published in this entire section but what has published it in their columns without condemn ing it. We won'ier if these negro papers agree with the teachings cf Darrow that the inter-niavriage of whites and negroes is the proper thing? White merchants, who advertise in these papers should find out where they stand on this subject before they contribute to their support. If these negro papers believe in the intermarriage of whites and blacks they have a right to preach that doc trine, but they should do so openly, so as their position on the subject will be understood. This article appeared in all the negro papers we have seen it in under the caption of "Equality of Privilege." Then follows the addi tional caption that "Amalgamation will solve the race problem," says Clarence Darrow. It will be noticed that the- caption of the article en dorses it to a certain extent. We believe that the publication of such an article under such a caption is calculated to do harm. No greater calamity could befall this great nation than the amalga mation of t.he white nd negro races. Whenever tried it has degraded both races, and would do the same thin<? here. Such a thing will never hap pen in the South, but the promulga tion of the doctrine advanced by Darrow will cause great trouble, es pecially in this section, where such teachings are held in the greatest abhorence. and will not be tolerated. Senator Borah Mistaken. Recently Senator Bora.h, of Idaho, lelivered a eulogy upon General Grant and took occasion to say: "I have carefully searched the mil itary records of ancient and modern history and never found Grant's su perior as a general. I doubt if his superior can be found in all history." These are the woris of the brilliant and chivalrous leader of the Lest Ciuse, Robert E. Lee. They suf fice." The Richmond Evening Journa' says that when it Cist read the above it was almost sure thai the Jdtiij statesman was mistaken in attriri r ing such language to the Confederm? general. "Senator Borah, in ul.vhg these words, pays an incidental, but graceful tribute to General L-ji. ii marked contrast to his collegue. Sen ator Heyburn. and, while it det-.'dCts not a whit from the name thus es tablished as a liberal-minded man, he has put words into the mouth of the great Virginian which the latter never uttered." T.he Norfolk Landmark co::firms the Journal by saying "General Lee never said such a thing nor is it on record that he ever indulged in any comment on the quality of Grant's soldiership? Indeed all who know j of General Lec must know that he could not have made any such com ment as that given by Senator Borah.i for it is so at varience with the truth. General Grant won the re gard of the South by h's magnani mous spirit, and he showed himself a leader of great ability, but to com pare him with the greatest soldiers of history, such as Alexander, Han nibal, Caesar, Marlborough, Napo leon, Wellington, Washington and Lee, is absurd. Many authorities do not consider him superior to at least one of the generals of the Union army, and General Lee, himself, is known to have said that McClellan i was the ablest of the Federal com manders who opposed him." That General Grant was a leader of ability no one will deny, and that he was a. most magnanimous vic tor is a fact that is universally rec ognized by the people of the South, but even these eminent qualities do not place him in the ranks of the great generals of the world, and im partial history will not so class him. The War Is Over. Notwithstanding the braying of such men as Heyburn and others of his ilk about the putting of the statue of General Robt. E. Lee in the Hall of Fame at Washington, the I war is over and they can't revive it. Whatever sectional differences may remain in this country, it is a source of gratification that the veterans of the Confederate and the Union ar-i mies are always able to get together and find some common basis of com mon sympathy. During recent years, many of the Grand Army of the Republic reunions have been held in the South, and the Union Veterans have always been greeted with cordiality and respect by the Confederate Veterans and their friends. Were the Confeder ate Veterans to hold reunions in Northern States, we are confident they would receive the spme defer ential treatment that the Union Vet erans receives in the Soth. After all, sectional difierences, are usual ly the work of politicians. Men w.ho stood up% to be shot at did so in any case from pure motives. Every man who has been through that ter rible experience has more in com mon with the fellow on t.he other side who assumed the same hazards, than he has with the man of his own section who stayed at home when the call to arms was ringing thron ;.h the land, or than he has with the younger man born since that time, who has no adequate con ception of the sufferings of that grim epoch. All true men are ready to recognize heroism and self sacrifice wherever he finds it, regardless of the color of the uniform the man wore who exemplified these virtues.
