More Southern Sentiment.

WASHINGTON, September 10. - James
Phelan of Memphis, Tenn, who received a
certificate as representative elect to the 51t
Congress. has arrived in Washington and
contributed some of his views on "the race
question" for publication.
La part he said: THE domination of the
white man is simply question of civiliza-
ton. To give the negroes control of the law
making power would invite every kind OF
extravaganee; to give them charge of the
courts would substitute corruption for
Justice; to make them sheriffs would put
authority in the land of brutal ignorance
As i happens. the negros are Republicans.

Of them can read. Hundreds of them had no
idea who. was running for president in the
last election. They had heard the name Of
Harrison. and thought it was Senator
Harris. Lots of them voted for him in conse-
quence. The charge that the South has i'm
posed on the negroes is simply repetition

The Pope and the Nationalist.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-The Times cor
respondent at BRUSSELS says: A Bel
gian statesman, who has recently Wis
tied Rome, learned that the Pope was
compelled to abandon his attempt to
pacify Ireland because the clergy of
that country threatened to rebel
against the papal authority, in case
he persisted in his intention, as their
living depended upon the national
lists. The Chronicle says that the
Messrs. Kendler, the famous bankers
of Vienna, have failed with liabilities

Last Nights Killing.

The killing of young Draper in front
of the Menger hotel was a murderOus
act, and being the second affair of a
similar character within the past two
weeks, it arouses feeling of indigna-
ton among our law-abiding people.
The day has passed in this communi-
ty when such crimes can be commit
ted with impunity. Our courts are
noted for their swift punishment of
the murderer and the thief, and we
hear but one comment, that is, that
an example is needed to put stop to
this killing business, in order that
the killer all over the world may I'M
derstand that our climate Is decided
ly unhealthy for him. This killing
seems to have been the result of a
sudden brawl, an affair that would
usually have passed off with an ap-
pearance before the police court for
disord erly conduct, bus the killer had
murder in his heart and was armed
to kill some one. The man who car
ries pistol is a murderer in inten-
ton and design; he is a Iaw-breaker
and villain to begin with; if he uses
his pistol upon the slightest prov
Ocation he is a murderer. The
uhouVlloi iHou SuII y III Z vi upduly "cd-
pons should be made a peniten tiary
offence, then there would be less of
this killing business.
Men who travel the dangerous
path of vice and debauchery deserve
little sympathy when they outrage
the law. The plea of sudden passion,
of drink, or even of self defense,
should weigh but little in their ia
vor.
A human life has blown out at the
mouth of a pistol; sorrow and grief
has been hurled into circle of
friends, but more than that, the law
of God and man has been dashed to
earth by rude and vengeful hand.
Every threshold in the broad land
has heard the step of the man-slayer,
and every household has gathered
close together for protection. 1t is
not vengeance we ask for but justice:
protection to society; the sacredness
of human life and the integrity os the
law.

The LINN Holocaust.

LYNN, Mass, Nov. Pin proper
ton to its area and population, this
city yesterday suffered a larger loss
by fire than any other city in Massa-
chusetts during the present century.
1t began like the great fire in Boston,
in Nov. 1872, in buildings that appa-
rently could be easily reached, but as
the flames spread, they became SO in
tensely hot that for several hours hui
man skill to stay them was of no
avail. 1t was a terrible spectacle
as the fire progressed and destroyed
building after building, and the
structures built with all modern safe
guards against fire, could not resist
the tremendous volume of flame any
more than an ordinary wooden build
ing, from which the thin line of smoke
would be visible at one moment.
ashes marked the spot where
the buildings stood. Any one who
watched the progress of the great fire
in Boston could not fail to notice in
many respects a repetition of it there,
as the water line formed one limit,
and the massing of engines at anoth-
er point after the couflagration had
ragged nearly six hours, marked the
line where the destruction ended and
the valuable residences which were
saved. In extent of territory, the
burnt district of Lynn is about the
same as that of Boston and the loss
was relatively about the same.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

We are not going to preach SER
mon or to furnish a text for moral
lecture, but to call attention to the
national observance of what was once
Puritan holiday. Thanksgiving
day only illustrates the growth Of
the republic; once it was the harvest
celebration of a small colony of very
religious people, today it is sort of
promiscuous holiday observed by co.
0OO,O free people on which they do
pretty much as they please, but on
which it is understood that every
body who can obtain it, has good
dinner. The churches are open to
those who desire to listen to the par
sons, who are prone to take advan-
tage of the occasion to talk history
and politics.
We are a people greatly given to
business, and every holiday bright
ems the pathway of our lives, hence
the presidents proclamation calling
upon the people to make its observ-
ance general and thankful, meets the
hearty response of the American
people.
Our old city is always joyful, al
ways pleasant, and are always thank
full, but let us give the day our hearty
observance.

but congratulate Miss Fisk in this
most worthy and laudable act and
wish her all success in her business.
We sincerely hope that all the larger
and Weather houses Will follow the
example and give their employees a
chance to observe the day as it should
be observed,
