tainment, at winch the guests are fur
nished the best music THAI zap be had in
the city
The club is subscriber to most of the
leading daily and illustrated papers and
magazines, and has accumulated by vol
untary contribution of the members a Ii
brary of about 1900 volumes Of standard
works on all subjects and the habit of
reading especially among the young men
has grown very materially, which is no
small part of the benefits derived from
the organization.
Visitors to the city may be introduced
by member and given a ticket which en-
titles him to the privileges Of the club
or during his stay in the city. About
5000 guests have been introduced
and entertained IN this way, includ-
ing persons from all parts of the
world and some very prominent men,
and when shown the elegant finish of
the rooms, the handsome furniture and
its fittings, and told of the moral features
and tendencies of the club it is a genuine
surprise to all who are introduced there,
and corrects many erroneous ideas among
residents of other states, as to the social
condition of our young city, and it can
be truly said that from those who have
the widest knowledge of clubs it receives
its highest compliments.
Business men and those interested in
the future prosperity of Fort Worth should
not make the mistake of thinking the
Commercial Club is only place for social
amusement, but remember that il is do
ing more towards sending visitors away
from our city well pleased with it than
any other one thing we have to show
them; and they should see that it is kept
mp to its present state of prosperity
Captain B B. Paddock is president of
the club and Whit Dryden is secretary.

The Bankers Monthly gives some
statistics about farm mortgages in the
West which are certainly startling.
Some attempts had previously been
made by the Agricultural Department
TO get ut this farm Indebtedness, but
they We're not wholly successful and
certainly fell far below the true figures
of the Bankers Monthly statements,
which are strongly supported, can be
accepted. Accounting tUit the farmers
Of Kansas have mortgages On their
places amounting to >4335, 900, 600 ;
those of Indiana owe S6S5, 900, 900 :;
those Of Iowa, S567 ,0OO, O00, Michigan,
500, 00Q, 600, Wisconsin,, 1901 900 900
and Ohio 81, III 900, 900, or total for
these six States of 50 ,421 600, 900.
This is certainly worse than the
South in the matter of its cotton liens
and mortgages, and it is not to be
wondered at that the Western farmers
find it impossible to struggle from
under this enormous debt, which takes
from them annually 500, 600 600 of in
~tere.t, and is increasing rather than
decreasing. According to these fig
uIt=, me ulIiDlllll VI llltSc ldlIl illbI-

SENATOR HAMPTON ON THE
NEGROES FUTURE.

] In another column, We give ths
condensed views of Senator Wade
Hampton, of South Carolina, who
was born the inheritor of a large
number of negroes. on the problem
of their future. When lie says that
no two different races yer lived to-
gether, without one dominating the
other, he truly echoes the voice of
history. That the colored people
will be ruled by the white people, so
long as they live amongst us in mat
tiers OF social and political interest il
II fact that needs no denial. In the
worlds history, as a people, they
have not arisen to supr macy over
any other by superior intelligence in
the science of government or in the
arts o fpeace. without going beyond
the West India isles, they have had
possession of st. Domingo, of the
fairest aud richest of the entire group
for about one bundled years. They
are neither rs intelligent or Is physi-
cally comfortable as when slaves
serving French masters, about a
Hundred years ago. AS TO their gov
ernnent, is may be styled Coustitu-
tional disorder, to which they have
been accustomed and seemingly sat
istied, and but for the wonderful pro-
ductions Of the soil! they would have
been extinguished by famine. So
taking the history of the negro race
at all times and in all countries as
precedent, the white people have no
dread of their domination in this
country. As to amalgauatioh, thai
We discard at once as imposs. be un-
less tie Cauca1sian ace r~etrograies
beyond anything in their civilized
history.
His third proposition seems be-
meath the grasp of Senators States
mauship. The federal government
has as much right to ool0nIze seven
or eight millions of whites, who are
recognized citiE"ns, wen if the nee
territory conld be purchased.
The truth is, most people when
speaking or writing on tho negro
forget that he is a free man,
and has a negative as well as affirm
alive say 50 in any arrangement
made for his benefit. Get that, and
be can be sent any where, aud sub
nit to any sort Of laws. But there's
he rub, aud any plan not recogn.z-
ng this in reference to the negro, Is
/ tile above sheer nonsense.

VACATION rs.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 3O.-The
Greenville News, the leading news
paper Of Middle Upper Carolina, in
commenting on Senator lIampton's
wish to colOnize the negro, says:
senator Hampton's position, like
that of a good many other people, is
that no country was ever made or can
be made for the occupation of two
races distinct from each other in color,
habits or tradition. Applying this
rule to the southern States he finds
that the condition ineXorably indi-
Gates Il Of three results:
'One OF the races must migrate or
Il of the two must be eXterminated,
or the two must amalgamate. In
crease of population, wealth and ed
ucatiOn will hasten one of these results
in proportion as we are successful.
The richer and more highly educated
the negro Lecomes, the higher his
ambition will be and the more bitter
ly he will resent and resist being held
m Il mental or inferior position. No
enmity is involved in this consider
alton of plain facts. His warmest
friends must come to understand that
he cannot have a fair opportunity to
develop what capacity he may have
while in competition with another
holding itself superior to him in
Of most of the property, in
control OF the and with Il
lead in intelligence and
culture to enforce its claim. There is
abundant soil in Central and South
America and Mexico, and the United |
Government can command
enough to buy a continent if
It likes. The homesleuds now offered
other settlers on our public lands,
together with free transportation and
otner help, would carry negroes from
he South in sWarlns. They could
organize their own states and come
.nto the Union just as other people do,
having their representatives in Con-
yress and the Electoral College. There
would be no danger that ali of them
would leave the South, but enough
would leave to relieve the situation Of
Is pressures and dungers.o

The trial of Cheatham last week
rHects honor upon the Judge, the
Prosecuting attorneys and the jury
hat found the viruict of guilty.
While we say this We are satisfied
tnat nearly every one of them had to
contend against their prejudice IN his
favor. Not simply because he WAS
white, but because beneath this
bloody stain of murder, he had SOME
noble traits of character, which he
himself had laid upon the CORY alter
Of v~engtance, which was not his
either by the laws OF man or God.
This is the first case out OF a dozen
or more which mark the history of
this county for the last decade, and

ened to u sense OF duty, may We not
hope that the free use of the pistol
and shot gun may be abated AT least.

The Concert.

The large hall was nearly filled for the
annual commencement concert The pro-
gramme had been selected by Mr.. Allen
with care and was evidently appreciated
by all. The choicest number on the pro-
gramme, the ''Grieg Suite,' did not re-
ceive as hearty enthusiasm as other parts,
owing perhaps to its more strictly classi-
cal nature. Mrs. Allen was greeted with
warm applause as she stepped upon the
stage for her first number and her hearty
encore showed that she had lost none of
the admiration with which she is regard
ed at Vermont Academy. Indeed the
same round of applause greeted her each
Day." by Goetze; ''Market Day. by
River" Mr.. Fries played with all his
their applause the personal fondness they
certainly feel for the old man. His re-
sponse was Il "ROmanze," by De Swert.
Mr.. Van Santvoord played for the first
time here but showed in his solo COM
plete mastery of his instrument. His
tones were very soft and musical and his
trilling very delicate and beautifully
shaded. As encore he played the familiar
air ''Robert Adair.' Mr.. Allen, in play
ing his own compositions, showed his
power as Il composer and more than sus-
tanned his reputation as II perfectly fin
ished artist.
No one present at the concert could
have failed to notice, in the intention to
and appreciation of the excellent pro-
gramme, the growth in musical taste of
the last three years.
