Gov. Lee on the Race Question

Gov. Lee was 10 Lynchburg yesterday
afternoon to attend meeting of the board
of trustees of the Southern coored orphan
asylum to be built near that city. He said
the movement was good one, and he hoped
1t would succeed. SPY taking these young
orphans and raising them under proper in.
huence," continued the Governor, they
NAV grow up to be useful citizens and do
some good in the world, especially among
their own race. For this reason the scheme
may enlist the sympsthies, If not the active
aid, of many right thinking people" Branch
ing out on the race question In its political
bearings, he added: II am sorry to see the
two races drifting apart in Virginia, but that
is the upmistakabe tendency. They are
getting farther apart every year, and there
seems to be no hope of ever re establishing
cordial and kindly relations between them.
This is chiefly the fault of the colored pee
ole, and they will be the chief sufferers by
il. By their persistent political hostility to
the better elements of the white popula-
ton they are driving off the only PEG
pie who can help them-the white tax pay
ers of the State. The latter are already
growing FESTIVE under the great burden Of
negro education and criminal expenses,
which amount to an enormous sum annual
ly, aud for which the white people have no
return and see no good results. The an.
dual outlay for negro education under the
public school system amounts to $40 900,
ninety per cent Of which is paid by white
taxpayers. 10 addition there are the Hamp-
ton Normal School and Petersburg Institute,
both OF which receive large yearly appro
prialioDs. Now. when you add to this the
cost of the colored insane asy um at Peters
burg, $4,000 year, and the Grim
nal expenses of over 100000 eighty
per cent. of which is for coored criminals,
you can readily see that 1t runs up to AL
enormous total. the inequality of which as
regards the white people is very sensible,
and under which, 80 said, they are grow.
ing very restive repeat that regret to
see this widening gap between the races, but
see no remedy for 1t as long as the colored
people as mass pursue their present politi-
cal course and remain wilfnlly blind to
proper recognition of what the white people
have done and are still doing for them in the
respects above mentioned"

No Claim Against Virginia.

WHEELING, w. Va, Sept 25.-An exami
nation of the papers by HoD Daniel Lamb,
who was disbursing agent of the Treasury
Department and advanced Peirpoint money
to arm ciliz,ns of Virginia 10 sympathy
with the Federal cause, shows that he set
tied his accounts with the Government in
1875 and received receipts acknowledging
the pay ment of all balance due. Toe Gov
eminent can have no claim on the State OF
Virginia for SIC 923 20 arising from any lax
ity on Mr. Lambs part. The telegram stat
ing that the Government had such a claim
is regarded as a mistake here.

BUTTE, Nov 14.-Particulars of a terri
Die accident, in which five men were
hurled into eternity without an instant of
warning, by the premature explosion of
powder blast last Tuesday, were learned
last night through Coroner D. G. Werner
of Boulder. The explosion occurred in a
rock cut on the Butte and Gallatin rail
way, now in process of construction at
point about fifteen miles from the CITY.
The terrible details, as CLEANED from the
scene Of the accident, are substantially as
follows:
Nan Twohy, well-known contractor.
had number of men engaged in blasting
through heavy rock cut at the point in
question. Tuesday evening at about s: 80
p. m. the men had completed drilling
hole twenty feet deep in the rock and
placing quantity of giant powder in the
hole discharged the blast. The explosion
"sprung" or loosened the rock and with
out waiting reasonable length of time
for the burning fuse Or sparks that might
linger in the cracks to become extinguish-
ed, the men poured several kegs of pow
der into the opening, expecting to explode
it and shatter the immense rock so that
the fragments could be removed. The
following morning the powder had been
placed and the men were in the act OF
tamping rock and earth about the charge
when without apprent cause it exploded
with awful force. Four men, John Dell
A. w. Larson, Thomas Olery and Han
Ross, the latter an italian, working the
cut, were crushed and instantly killed
while G. Sullivan, foreman, who had beer
in the employ Of Mr.. Twohy many year
was blown into the air and thrown d dis
tance of 200 feet. The five men nance
were instantly killed while another labor
er, name unknown, had his eyes blowr
out in addition to other injuries abou
the breast and head. He was conveye,
to the hospital where he lies in preca1
ious condition. The bodies of Sullivan
Ross, Dell, Larson and O'Leary wer
brought to Butte for interment today.

SAND COULEE SEEN BY A STRANGE1
EDITOR OF THE LEADER:

GREAT FALLS, Nov. 14.-In 10 way can
one arrive at better idea of the future
of Great Falls than through observation
of the vast mineral wealth by which she
is Immediately surrounded. Sand Coulee
at distance of only twelve miles is as it
were one of her reservoirs of reserve
strength. The railroad runs through a
broad and fertile valley, we'll sprinkled
with substantial farm buildings, which
give it the air of a long settled commu-
nifty. On either side of this rise buttes
literally oyerfowing with coal. Coal
seams crop out at all points, and many
shacks have their coal bins at their back
doors in the hill. New buildings appear
frequently, one of which we are told was
erected by the firm of Campbells Sons
the sheep raisers, and the general impres
sion is one of complete prosperity in the
valley.
At Foleys Junction the road-bed of the
Neihart railroad is ready for the rails al
far as the eye can see. In our opinion this
is destined to become at least busy towr
if not a considerable city, through its po
sition at the joining of the two thorough
fares and consequent importance as de
pot of supplies to the two mining camps
1t will in all likelihood be dependent il
turn upon Great Falls.
At the village of Sand Coulee one i
struck by the small amount of coal opene'
up to that which yet remains untouche
in the surrounding hills. Many seam
have been opened and worked sufficient
to enable their owners to hold then
