NEGROES AGAINST CHINESE

Philanthropist and Millionaire Stan
ford has taken up a new fad, and is
working it for all there is in it. He is re-
ported to be helping along a movement
TO supplant Chinese cheap labor in Cal
ifornia with negro labor. Fifty thou.
sand negroes from the South are to be
imported to California and colonized
there, with the intention of having
them take the place of the Chinese.
If this is the serious intention of Mr..
Stanford and his co-laborers, it will
raise smile among those who are &C.
quainted with the negroes. They are
in no sense capable of supplanting the
Chinese in the fields of labor. AS a
q class they are indolent, dependent,
spendthrift and reckless. The Chinese
are industrious, selfreliant, frugal and
painstaking. To expect the former
qualities to displace the latter, is to
look TO see inferiority triumph over SUI
periority-a reversal OF the law of the
survival OF the httest. The only way
FOR the negroes TO compete with the
Chinese in California is to work
cheaper than they.
But in what will the white workmen
OF that state be better off when Chi
nese cheap labor gives way to negro
cheaper labor? The evil OF which they
complain is greatly aggravated by
Philanthropist Stanford's scheme.
Nor is that the end OF it. There can
DE no stopping the deluge of negro i'm
migration. Chinese competition is
checked, and prohibitory immigration
laws exclude the spread of that compe-
tition. The Chinese now in this couni
try will die or return to their native
land, and with no further addition TO
their numbers by immigration they
ny steadily decrease until finally

Distances.
800 miles and more.
Maximum Georgia mileage.

Maximum Georgia mileage.
For short haul the difference in
these rates is not very great, though
doubtless enough to have a very per-
ceptible effect upon the earnings of the
roads: but for long distances the Texas
rates are so much below those of
Georgia as apparently to justify the
complaint of the roads that TO enforce
them would be ruinous. If the Georgia
rates are just, and allow for q fair and
legitimate profit for the work, then the
Texas rates must be below profitable
working basis. If in carrying 100
pounds of wheat $50 miles in Georgia
for p cents, there is 10 per cent profit
and it is not likely the commission
Of that state would allow more than
that protit-then it must cost about
22i cents to do the hauling: and if the
operation Of railroads is as expensive
in Texas as in Georgia, there is loss
of u cents hundred pounds when they
are forced to haul grain that distance
for 10 cents.
Taking Wichita Falls as the center
Of the wheat-shipping district of Texas,
the distance from that point to Fort
Worth being ia miles. there is not so
great difference between the Texas
and Georgia rates, it being but 10 per
cent higher on the Georgia roads; but
from Wichita Falls to Galveston, the
shipping port, the distance is AGO miles,
and the Georgia rate for this distance
is 81 per cent higher than the Texas
roads are allowed to charge.
There is something wrong here
something wrong with the Texas rate
or the Georgia rate. The latter is too
high or the former too low. As long
as our state commission can do nothing
to correct any wrong that may exist in
the Georgia rate. it is not worth while
for them to lose any time thinking of
that business ; but they can deal with
the matter so far as our Texas roads
are concerned, and that is their duty
now. Not to Cypress any Texas rail-
road, or let any Texas railroad Cypress
the people, is the work in hand for our
commission, and if there is injustice in
the grain rates granted in this state,
by virtue of being below fair basis of
remuneration, the limit we are sure,
will be extended.

FORSaKING THE PARTY IDOLS.

Kansas had another political sensa-
ton few days ago in the public re-
nunciation by eXCongressman Harri
son Kelly of his faith in the G. o. p,
and the declaration of his intention TO
labor hereafter in the vineyard of the
Peoples partee." At the outset. it
may be well to state that Brer Kelly
was one OF the unfortunate bloody-shirt
members of the billion-dollar congress
who got well Conemaughed at the polls
last fall, or, to put it otherwise. got
elected to stay at home, while an Al
lance brother stepped into his legisla-
tive brogans. How far this little cir
cumstance operated as factor in the
political conversion OF the stalwart
statesman is question for the curious
alone.
The reason assigned by him for aban-
doning party TO which he had since
the war adhered with the most eXem-
plary devotion and most unfaltering
fealty, was that it had failed to pass
the force bill. He could no longer
abide in a party so shamelessly dere-
lict in duty, so cowardly and inhumane,
When it refused to throw the arm of
protection around the downtrodden
and outraged Republican voters of the
South, and shield them from murder
Gus violence and assassination, it for
feited ipso facto all claims to his sup
port or his loyalty, and forced him to
seek other and more congenial polit-
zeal associations. He could not look
upon the worse than Egyptian bondage
and misery in which he saw his breth-
rem of at least five Southern states
groaning and dying, and not feel that
the g. o. p. was to blame for it all.
There is peace down there" said he,
''but it is the peace of the graveyard.
And SO the good Mr.. Kelly went on in
vein OF humanitarianism and pity that
would draw tears from craven image.
Poor man He also found that
ABUSES" had grown up in the Repub-
lican party, which he tried but
failed to correct. He does
not indicate in the slightest
what they are, perhaps because he sup

posed they are already too well known
to be rehearsed.
Brer Kelly's desertion OF the Repub-
lican party is the most striking exem-
plification yet presented Of the politi-
cal wreck and ruin to which the 9. o.
p. has been reduced in the Sun-Flower
state. II ever there was stalwart Re-
publican, Kelly was one. Ii ever there
was a consistent, faithful and blind
worshiper Of the party fetch, he was
one. OF extremists, he was the most
extreme, OF radicals the most radical.
In this respect he out-Heroded Herod.
Every Democrat, in his opinion, was an
unrepentant rebel, and every article OF
the Democratic faith the most damna-
bic political heresy. As the Moslem
despised the cross, so did he hate the
faith of the Democrat. Goked with
this blind and unrelenting hatred, was
the strongest love for the Senegam
bian, who, in his opinion, was the mar
tyr OF the century. Scarcely had he
wormed in his seat in congress when he
offered bill making an appropriation
for a costly monument to the memory
of the negroes butchered in the cause,
as he said, by Democratic assassins of
the South since the war. This was fol-
lowed by another offering to pension
for life the survivors of all such I'M
fortunate blacks. His diatribes against
the South was always characterized by
extreme bitterness, and yet this Re
publican Berserker has become dis
gusted with the rottenness of his party
and has gone over bag and baggage to
that handmade Of Democracy, the Peo-
pies party

they are wiped out. But the negroes
cannot be got rid of this way. No law
can be made to prohibit a free citizen
OF the United States from going from
one state to another at his pleasure.
II the negroes want to 60 to California
they can go, in spite of all that Cali
fornia may do, and against the inef-
fectual protests of white laborers
against the inundating deluge OF negro
cheap labor.
This scheme Of Philanthropist, Mil
lionaire and Politician Stanford has
more the look of a political maneuver
than anything else. The negro is a
voter, the Chinaman is not. In this lies
the value OF the negro as against the
Chinaman. California is close state,
and with an addition of so, 900 to its ne
gro population, Mr.. Stanford could
handle them and run things very
much to suit his will.

Foreign Loan Associations.

It has come 10 light in the last few days
that number of Fort Worth citizens have
been victimized by so-called building and
loan association under charter obtained III
another state. Very cheap money on real
estate was the bait that caught Fort Worth
men VINO desired 10 build homes, and in
some cases men who went into the asSocia-
ton involved themselves on the strength of
promises made TO loan them money. Sev-
eral thousand dollars have been taken out
of the city, but not 4 loan has been made.
The home associations, operating under
Texas charters and Differed by men who
are well known, have always been success
full, and it is wonder that Fort Worth
people should put their money in these out
side institutions over which the stoCkhold-
ers can possibly have no control. This is
not the first time Fort Worth people have
suffered A number of the local stock
holders in the company alluded to have
placed their cases in the hands of well
known law firm here who will see what can
be done. In the meantime the home asso-
Citations are building up the city

CHARGED iLL-TREATMENT.
Federal Authorities Investigating the AL
legged Ill-Treatment of Prisoners in
the Arkansas state Prison.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Aug. 13.-Some days
since Abraham Davis, a Federal negro con-
Wet, confined in the state penitentiary, COM
planned TO the Federal authorities
that Warden Dunlap had i'll treated
him. Last night District Attorney
Walter received Instructions from
Attorney Miller to investigate the
prisoners charge, not only in Davis case, but
as regards all Federal prisoners, and to-day
the investigation was begun. Davis testified
that not long after he was incarcerated for
forgery he was severely beaten on the back
by Warden Dunlap with leather straps.
Not long after that he was branded. so
he testified, IN three different places:
on the body with a red-hot iron.
The branding was done by Bud Bennett
and Jeff ct Ford, bosses of the yard gang
Shortly after this he was placed in a dark
cell and was obliged to live on bread and
water. State Convict Inspectors Carroll.
Bennett and Ford were then called
to the stand and their testimony APP
peared to refute completely the charges
made by Davis. The branding was denied,
and as to the whipping. Inspector Carroll
testified that such punishment was pre-
scribed by law, the strap with which the
punishment was inflicted being approved by
the inspector
The investigation will be continued to-
morrow.

AN honest man quit the earth when
George Jones, proprietor of the New
York Times, passed away. Fear of the
powerful nor the love of gain could
change his purpose from duty's line.
He began the war against the Tweed
ring when it was all-powerful in New
York, and offers OF millions of dollars
for his silence and threats Of personal
violence or business ruin affected him
not the slightest. The exposures which
the Times made destroyed the Tweed
ring and sent its head to states prison
and his associates into exile. When
such men die. the world is left poorer.
