Noted CoIored Men

In the lower house of the present
Mississippi legislature there are three
colored men, and only three, and they
hold their seats by virtue OF the fact
that they enjoy the confidence and es-
TEEN of their constituents of both
races While in other years the legis-
lative bodies of Mississippi have been
noted for their blackness, to-day these
three men are the only representatives
of their race in the legislative body.
1t seems to me to be just survival OF
the fittest, for there are no members OF
the house more honored and more re-
spected, and none more entitled to the
honor and respect which they receive
at the hands of their white confreres
than the three men who inspire this
letter.

TARIFF AND COINAGE.
The Hon. H. J. Spooner Talked to
the University Students,

The young Republicans at Brown Uni
versity were addressed last night by the
Hon. Henry j. Spooner, and they received
him with great enthusiasm.
Mr.. Spooner said that for all the amount
of talk in opposition to the Mckinley
tariff law 1t had shown itself to be
sound, economic law. 1t embodies the
sound principles of the Republican party.
lie said that since the Mckinley law went
into effect there has been constant IN
crease IN our mercantile trade, both domes-
tic aud foreign. Every month almost
shows increased business transactions.
The main thing that in any way checks
the iull progress of the new law is the
tariff tinkering of the present House of
Representatives. The Democrats are
doing what they can TO keep the business
OF the United States in uncertainty.
Mr.. Spooner also mentioned the policy
of the Republican party on the question
OF money. and showed at some length the
unity OF the Republican party on the
question of silver and sound currency
and the two counter policies of Mr.. Bland
and Mr.. George Fred Williams. IL shows
conclusively that the Democrats have no
well-deilned policy as to the matter of cur
rency. He remarked that the main issues
between the two parties for the coming
campaign will be the tariff and the ques-
ton of coinage, and as the students were
young and had the major portion of their
lives before them 1t was OF vast import
ance that they should settle these ques-
tlons III their own minds now.

yet redeemable at the the treasury for a
gold dollar. The government bought the
silver for dollar and can always pay "a
gold price for il. The free coiners want to
put the difference into the pockets of the
miners, but we intend TO allow it TO re-
main in the pockets OF the people
THE new doctrine eofreciprocity, the doc
trine originated and announced by James
&. Blaine (Applause) is causing a consid-
erable ferment among the Democrats.
When first introduced they shouted for it
and howled themselves hoarse in favor OF
the bill, but one morning these same Dem
ocrats awoke and found that a man from
the little State of Rhode Island, Senator
Aldrlch (Applausc), had Incorporated this
doctrine in the Mckinley bill, and the
crowd took TO their heels and fled. How
ever, our Democratic friends will be in
favor Of reciprocity in less than two years
and, what is more. they will claim with
unblushing effrontery To have originated
the doctrine themselves" Laughter).
AZ the conclusion of the address the
president OF the club, A. A. Hopkins,
called the attention of the audience TO tho
good work being done by the NEWS. the
representative daily of Rhode Island.

the lower extremity OF the "fin." There
Is no dead wood, aud the device is in the
nature OF a stationary weighted centre
board and has all the disadvantages and
inconvenience OF such. For racing ma
chimes the 'fn" may turn out TO be we'll
adapted. At any rate Commodore Nor
gan, who took sail in the Dilemma soon
after she WAS launched, was so pleased
with her capital performance that there

Dilemma Is said to be especially good at

modore Morgans "fin" boat is 35 feet long.
Gardner has designed "a boat on the same
principle which he hopes may beat her.
These are merely the advance guard Of

py the same position in yachting that the
obsolete "sand-bagger" was accustomed
TO hold.
Perhaps the most formidable rival the
IierreshoH 46-footers may have against
them this season is the centerboard craft,
BoatriN, designed by Mr.. Burgess for n
Boston syndicate headed by Charles A.
Prince. She came out so late in the sea-
son that she was seriously handicapped.
There is no doubt of her speed and power,
and believers in her type are convinced
that under skillful management and GER
tain conditions she will come near beating
the Gloriana, The boat is assured Of tip
top handling this season ms she has been
purchased by those two excellent yachts
men, the adams BOYS" OF Boston.
There has been considerable questioning
as to what John Is. Paine, owner of the
46-footer Alborak would do for racing this
season, as IL was assumed that he would
not try the forty-siX class again in the
present uncertain outlook for a continu-
ance of it. He has been placed by some rs
positively in the 2l-foot class, but he has
not yet decided &c 20 there He is, how
ever, seriously considering the matter, and
il he does 20 into the class, will go with

PALACE GATES GUARDED.
A Serious Condition Of Things in the
Grecian Capital.
THE CABINET MUST GO OUT
So Says the King. Hut the Chamber
HoIds IL by u Vote of Confidence-Fol-
lowing Constans Into Retirement
100000 Germans Coming.

ATHENS, March 2.--The Greek Cabinet,
OF which M. Delyannis was the Prime
Minister, has resigned and the King has
summoned M. Tricoupis to form new
Ministry.
This will bring to an end the impeach-
ment proceedings that had been taken by
the Delyannis ministry TO impeach NJ.
Tricoapis, who was formerly Prime Minis
ter. The political situation in Greece, in
one respect, is similar TO that in Great
Britain. In the latter country the Pre-
miership lies between Lord Salisbury
and Mr.. Gladstone. In Greece it lies be-
tween Nj. Delyannis and M. Tricoupis,
and when the Cabinet leader goes out the
other goes in.
The prosecution of M. Tricoupis and his
colleagues in the former cabinet was de-
cided upon at the end of the year before
last, when the Delyannis party gained
decisive victory at the polls. In the first
tiush OF success the victorious followers
OF M. Delyannis determined to complete
the discontinue OF their adversaries by
prosecuting the former ministry for vari-
Gus alleged acts OF administration. 1t
soon, however, became evident that many
of the more moderate supporters of the
present government were averse to the
prosecution, while NJ. Tricoupis and his
former colleagues showed the utmost
readiness to meet the accusations, and the
impeachment was deferred till the pres
ent session.
M. Trcoupis declined to form a minis
try. Thereupon M. Constantopoulo was
selected and he consented to form a cabi-
net.
The supporters of M. Delyannis, how
ever, yesterday afternoon resumed their
session in the chamber, where Nj. Delyan-
mis- made statement. He said he and
his colleagues had been summoned blythe
king to resign, but had declined to do so,
whereupon the king dismissed the cabi-
net. M. Delyannis asked the chamber for
vote Of confidence. The vote was car
ried unanimously. There was no mem
Der of the opposition present.
After the adjournment OF the Chamber
a large crowd escorted Nj. Delyannis -
his residence, from the balcony OF whicA
he made an impassioned speech. He SAID
the people had twice honored him witt
their confidence and he would nevof
abandon his post. He relied upon tn
support OF the nation. A counter dem
onstration was held in front of the resi-
dence of M. Tricoupis.
The situation has become critical. The
king persists in the dismissal of the Dely-
annis ministry. The royal palace Is
guarded by cavalry and gems d'armes.
