DIR. HAMMOND AND THE WORLD"
An Explanation That Does Not Ex-
pIain-Dr. Hammond Unsatisfed.

An Explanation That Does Not Ex-
plain DIR. Hammond Unsatisiled.
The New York World on Wednesday
last contained a dispatch from Washing
ton stating that Dr. William A. Hammond
had charged $1,000 for removing a wen
from the scalp of Senator Stanford's wife.
The Critic at the time pronounced the
story fake pure and simple, and so It
was. The World yesterday published the
following special from Washington, dated
April % under the head "Dr. Hammond
Didn't Get That Fee"
"Ex-Surgeon- General Hammond has
been greatly annoyed by references to the
report that he received a fee of $1,000 for
removing wen from the scalp of Senator
Stanford's wife. To the World CORE
spondent he said tonight:
az have never performed such an
operation upon Mrs Stanford as that de-
sCribed, nor have ! attended her profes-
sionally within ten years. cannot im-
agine how the report could have gained
circulation. OF course ! never received
any such fee for so slight an operation
upon anybody's scalp
The article above, which is not much
of denial anyway, was tucked away in
an inconspicuous place on the third pa ge,
while the first screed was given very
prominent place on the first page.
DIR. Hammond does not like the denial,
because it is not strong enough in its
terms, nor does his attorney, Mr.. Samuel
Maddox. II may be that somebody con-
nected with the World will be hauled up
before q court of Justice for SANDER.

While the South is honoring Harrison,
the North is calling for Blaine.-Courier-
Journal.
The American people will applaud Mr..
Blaine for his plain and patriotic position,
and they indulge the hope that the Italian
case will induce the American Govern
ment to qualify itself to undertake any
foreign policy that its rights and interests
may require.-New orleans Picdynne.
Governor Foraker of Ohio was guilty of
bad manners, as usual, when in his adj
dress of welcome to the Republican Leagues
he insulted President Harrison by speak
ing Of 1.-THE magnificent administration
Mr.. Blaine has given u.s. This and other
slurs cast upon the President in the course
of Mr.. Foraker's speech were in wretched
taste, but characteristic of the speaker,
whose great defect is an unbridled tongue.
--BHBdio Commercial (Rcp.).
The champion of the anti-tights crusade
in the Minnesota Legislature appears t) be
without honor even in his own country.
He gets newspapers from all over the
country making fun of his bill; practical
jokers put trousers upon his horse and
wrap the legs of his roast chicken in paper
II seems as if in this case virtue would
have to be emphatically its own reward
Boston Post.
While in the South, President Harrison
said nothing which could give offense to
any reasonable man, and yet he told his
hearers q great deal of wholesome truth
His speeches were models of good sense
and good taste.--C ClcyeldHd Leddei dtd

Captain John G. Burkes return to his
regiment at Fort Mcintosh, Tex, brings
the fact afresh to mind that the late GEN
eral Crooks friends are largely orphans
under the present army regilne.-Omaha
Bee.
The incidents of President Harrison's
triumphal progress through the South are
interesting. Here is one from Georgia.
An old negro woman at Dalton pushed
her son forward to shake hands with the
| President but the latter reached clear
over him and shook hands with white
man, Then the woman said: Come on
home, John; 'taint no use. Harrison
may be Publican, but he amt got no
mo- use fer uigger den white man has,
| Come long home, en- let him go to de
debbil-fo' dat's jes' whar he's er gwine."
| -BostOH Post.
There is mild astonishment in Boston
| over the fact that Wyoming girl has
thrown over very well preserved nephew
of Charles Francis Adams and married q
ranchman of no family particularly.
| However, such incidents, as the ranch
man is young and handsome and the girl
fell in love with him are usually given
undue weight in Wyoming. Hicago

"The colored people of New York, ("
said the colored preacher, "are falling far
behind their Southern brethren in educa-
ton. We have no such institutions Of
learning here as there are in the Southern
States. Why in New Orleans alone the
colored people have the New Orleans
University, and the Leland University
and the Southern University, and the
Straight University; and there are nearly
1000 colored students in them, with more
applicants than can gain admission.
Where is there anything of the kind
here? Where is our big university in
New York 1t is shame to us TO fall
behind our New orleans brethren in edu-
cation, and to let them get ahead of us in
learning ! know there are more colored
people in New Orleans than in New York,

institution here that would be equal to
any of the four institutions there"

TIM lIoN. HryHy CABOT LopcE, in the
"North American Review for May, dis
Cussng the New Orleans lyuching, SAYS.
We have, therefore three facts here of
the gruVCst import. First, an outbreak of
lawlessncss which resulted i'm the death
of eleven men, second, belief that iu-
riCs could not be depended upon TO adj
minister justice and protect the lives of
The citizens: third. the existence of a Sc
rrCt society which was ready to use both
money and murder To- accomplish its OBJ
iccts, even to the point Of pervcrting the
administration Of the law. II is my pur-
pose to deal only with the last phase of
This question. believe that, whatever
the proNimatc cause of the shocking
event at New Orleans may have been,
The underlying cause, and the one with
which alone the people of the United
States can deal, is 10 he found i'm the ut
Ter carclessncss with which We treat inn
migration TO this country.
Mr.. Iopcr hits the bull's eye. The laws
permit our civilization to be invaded by
the somi-barbaric hordes of European
paupers and criminals, whose govern
monts facilitate and encourage, If they do
NOT actually promote, their immigration
To America. For long years the United
States has been the dumping ground for
the human garbage and refuse Of Italy,
Hungary Poland Russia and other
countries afflicted with a degraded lower
class. These creatures have brought here
their customs, their diseases, their vices
and their ignorance. They have avoided
assimilation, herding together and per-
petuating all the untoward features Of
their former life. And yet our law
makers have taken no adequate steps to
prevent these deplorable acCessions, but
have, ON the contrary, permitted, If not
encouraged them. The logical and in
eyitable result has cnsued The country
has suffered in various quarters by out
breaks of anarchy, of mob violence, of
murder and assassination as direct con-
sequences of our lax methods in the mat
ter of immigration. II will continue 50 to
suffer, and ON an increasing scale,
so long as the conditions to which
we refer are suffered to exist.
The uprising in New Orleans was as
timely as it was righteous That city
had groaned too long under the burden
of this alien horde. The Maiiosi had
waXcd bold in immunity and their arro-
EanCe was no longer tolerable. The in
tclligent and patriotic and responsible
elements of the community realized that
society was in peril, their civilization
threatened and their peace at stake.
What they did was done in good faith,
without temper or malice and for the
public good as they saw it. And Mr..
LopcE analyses the situation with ex-
quisitc nicely when he says that the un
derlying cause of the tragedy must be
sought in the reprchensible carclcssness
which has permitted the congregation
upon our shores of the hunted and ex-
patrated criminals of other lands. It is
safe to predict that the New Orleans ar-
fair will bear beneIiccnt fruit in awaken
ing the country to this appalling evil,
and that the country will have cause to
thank New Orleans for having awakened

about fourteen miles east of Ennis. He
said that some time ago q colOred woman
year-old child, boy Just able 10 walk,
and search was made, but unsuccessfully,
and the mother gave ii up for lost, Fur
ther, that some fishermen while returning
from an excursion found the babe alive

composed of the colored citizens of

that "the whole underlying idea of the
Federal Elections bill was wrong. Granted
even that it would succeed in putting a
few more negroes into Office it would not
benefit the colored people. The under
lying idea of the measure was that law
can accomplish everything; that if you
have an evil in the community all you
have To do is to pass law against ii, and
presto, il is gone. We must ever keep be-
fore us the fact that the South has some
excuse for its present attitude. We must
remember that good many of our peo-
pie south of Mason and Dixon's line are
not fit for the responsibilities of Repub-
hcan government. When you have the
right sort of black voters you will need
no election laws. The battle of my peo-
pie in the South must be moral one, not
