The Shah's Cold Reception.

LONDON, July 5.-Whatevef could be
done by British officials TO make the re-
ception of the shah i'll London memora-
bic was done, and so far ss the authOrl-
ties are concerned, the shah has moth
ing to complain of. But if his treat
ment by the London populace was en-
tirely satifactory to him, he possesses
the one virtue, at least of being easily
pleased
The progress of the shah to the Guild
sail Wednesday excited, among the
'hrongs which lined tho streets along
the route no loftier emotions than risa-
blllty. There was no cheering, no
words of welcome, no enthusiasm
nothing but broad grins and the farther
along he proceeded the broader the
grins became Everything about the
august monarch-his dress, his beard.
his features and his suite-was fair
game for the sightseers, and every little
peculiarly was seized upon for jocular
comment
SO far as the decorations are con-
cerned along the line of march, there
were very few, indeed, to be observed
apart from those upon the public edi-
fees. Upon these, it is true, no pains
or expense was spared to deck them In
gorgeous colors but with the beautifying
of the government and corporation
buildings the attempt at displays
stopped. SO far as any popular sym
pathy with the shah's reception goes, it
can very we'll be gauged by the loud
complaints that rose from all quarters
before the show began against the sus-
pension of traffic on some OF the prlncl-
pal streets which it would enforce. And
SO deep was the feeling among the bus
mess community that some Of them are
growing yet

Hopeful Facts.

The Negro does not always turn
to the pages Of the Journals OF this
country to find only unf'iedly words
and harst criticims. Among the cred
liable exceptions to the papers OF the
day is that great journal Of the neat
Northwest the Inter Ocean which al
WAYS treats the colored race with
fairness and in a kindly, christian
spirit. 1t is wiling to give credit
where it is deserved and is not blin-
ded by the scales of prejudice. In a
recent issue it says.
when it is remembered that the
colored people of the United States
were slaves, bought and sold like cat
tie in the market, up TO a period OF
only 25 years ago, their position to-
day is phenomenal aud remarkable
In the South, in sections where they
have any encouragement the asses
sors' books show that they are rapidly
accumulating property, and many OF
them. if not rich, are in fair way
to become SO. Says a reputable
journal: "One colored firm ill New
Orleans is said to carry a stock of ovre
$500, 1000 in merchandise; there are
many hotel owners among colored
men; the race owns and edits over
200 journals and periodicals in this
country, and its possessions in real
estate in the South are Increasing III
value each year" The seminaries
and colleges throughout the South
erected for the use of the colored peo'
pie by the various churches and mis-
sionary organizations are crowded
With anxious learners, and give the
most hopeful signs for the future of
the race.
The Boston journal, 'mmenting
upon the colored peoples exposition
in Philadelphia. Gays:
There is general superstition that
they are available in the South Only
as agricnlturists and personal ser~
wants, but that they are engage IN
every kind of business the exposition
has shown. The exposition showed
tnat members of the race are success
full cigar manufacturers, shoemakers
and even producers OF some kinds OF
art work. Those who have visited
the display cay that though it was
more modest than some that have
been made in the South, it demon"
s'rated that the Negro is steadily
reaching the same plane of education
and civilization as that occupied by
the white race.
The encouraging feature Of all this
il that the colored people are anxious
to take advantage of all their oppor-
tunities. They are patient, peacea>
BILE and painstaking, and there is NO
reason for any friend Of the race to
be discouraged at the outlook. A
little volume just out, from the pen
ofLewls H. B'air, of Richmond, Va,
has for its title. "The Prosperity Of
the South Dependent Upon the Ele'
walton of the Negro This is truth
we'll stated. The interests of the
South will be served best by fair
t eatment of the colored people"

THE FISHERY QUE .TloN AGA N.
This Time 1t Is all Alleged Treaty Viola
tioa In CanaIin.

OTTAWA, July 5.-The fishery ques-
ton has assumed another phase as re-
CARDS the encroachment of American
citizens in the territorial waters of the
dominion. For several years past
wealthy American gentlemen have
rented streams and small rivers from the
dominion government In Ontario and
Quebec for fishing purposes. One
American club has secured the exclu-
siye right of 240 square miles in Quebec
through which valuable salmon stream
runs; another club holds lease of 300
square miles of similar territory in that
province The gentlemen, with their
friends. spend several weeks each sum-
mer enjoying the spot. generally taking
their own stream yachts and boats with
them.
1t is now represented that it is in di-
rect violation of the fishery treaty Of
1913 and subsequent fishery regulations,
which stipulate that no American vessel
on boat can take fish within three miles
of the shore OF in Canadian waters.
The question has been raised and forci-
bly, goes to illustrates to what measures
people on this side of the line will resort
to create irritation across the border.
The attention Of the government has
been called, as IN evening paper puts it.

waters Of the interior are being disposed

4 Slap aud a Kick.

From, The Shepherdsto'ga Register.
1t is interesting to observe the result of
the warfare made by that eXerescence on
the journalistic body, the Charlestown Dem
0crat, upon our State Senator elect, Mr..
Charles II. Knott Itopposed him in every
way, shape and form; it lied about him aud
filisificd his intentions and principles; lis
rditor. we understand, voted against him,
and personally tried TO induce Others To do
The same he Democrat howlcd at Mr..
Knott rs tool of the railroads. and tried
IN every way to trap him in the pits it dig
ged with so much care. It charged him
with being an enemy of the people. and
committed against the interests of the agrl-
cultural classes Indeed, it stopped at no
meanness in it, efflrts IL defeat Mr.. Knott.
but fortunately the people had more conf
dence in Knott than they had in Mason aud
triumphantly elected their candidate.
Last week at Martlnsburg the Stat''
Grange, which was attended by a large
number of intelligent AMI earnest farmers
from all parts of the State. by an almost
unanimous vote elected Mr. Knott to the
highest position in the Orler-that Of Mas
ter. The stu dy farmers of the State
showed their confidence in Mr.. Knott. in
tentipn and ability to look after their mu-
tual interests, and in so doing they showed
their contempt for the newspaper that ma
lsnrd him.
The election of Mr. Knott was a slap in
Mason's face. This action of the Stat,
Grange is a sturdy kick administered wher,
it will do the most good
